If you’re growing a product business or running an e-commerce brand, this conversation with Christy Llewellyn from Loste Nails is full of honest, practical insights you’ll really connect with.
Born from a frustration with flimsy press-ons and overpriced salon appointments, we set out to create something better: nails that look like gel, wear like gel, but don’t chip, split, or wreck your natural nails. Oh, and the best part? They are fully reusable.
Loste is a new kind of press-on. Crafted with 5-layer, soft gel technology, our nails are ultra-strong, ultra-glossy, and long lasting. No UV. No damage.
Each set comes with everything you need for a flawless application in five minutes, whether you’re getting ready for a night out or applying them poolside on holiday.
Christy built her reusable press-on nail brand from scratch — no contacts, no big budget — and shares exactly what it’s really like to develop a product, market it, and keep going when things constantly change.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
- How a simple personal frustration can spark a whole product idea
- What bootstrapping a physical product looks like behind the scenes
- What’s actually working in product marketing right now
- How small brands can stand out without competing on price
- The power of repeating your brand story
This is a relatable, encouraging episode that’ll leave you inspired to keep going, keep showing up, and keep telling your story.
