This week I'm joined by Liv Paints Nails and we're talking all about press ons, not just as a quick side hustle but as a properly priced, properly structured income stream that nail techs might be sleeping on.

Liv was so open and honest, sharing vulnerable stories, nightmare client tales and her advice for becoming a press on nail artist.

We get into:

• How she started selling press-ons remotely after TikTok followers kept saying they wished they lived nearer
• The sellotape sizing hack she uses so clients can measure their own nail beds at home
• Why she prices press ons at the same hourly rate as in person work... and why £35 for a complex set is not it 👀
• The accessibility angle: who actually wants press-ons and why it goes deeper than you might think
• Balancing press on orders, irl clients and nursery pickup with an ADHD brain
• The client who turned up 40 minutes late and offered her a tenner

Plus our Nightmare from the Nail Desk dilemma: this week, a nail tech who infilled a set she knew wasn't her own work and now doesn't know if her loyal client of two years is about to ghost her.
