week of a (very) busy press on nail artist..

[@irelandgore2385]

"I've been told my videos are relaxing to watch" *opens eyes and realizes I was getting too relaxed and dozing off*

[@miniamipress]

[@theanxiousnailtech]

I keep a sprey bottle of water on my desk, after Buffing & putting away my dust collecter, I mist down the desk from about standing height then fold away the paper towel! It makes all the air born particles fall & so much easier to clean up! You can do this to the filter paper on your dust collecter too when changing xx

[@brianamcintyre6988]

Youre so smart!! Im adding this step into my routine!

[@daniellevaughn8067]

the sense of urgency in this video actually helped me be more productive while i was studying so thanks for that lol

[@zeldarocks55]

Just wanted to add some recognition to what you said about being a nail biter - as someone who has also had this issue my whole life and is also a lover of all things nails, just wanted to issue a thank you for making myself and many others feel seen. Always felt guilty going to nail professionals with my hands in the state they sometimes are 😅 press ons are life and have helped me so much

[@BAENail]

yessss, I love watching other press on artists, this is just what I needed today🥰

[@miniamipress]

saaaame same same

[@jaydenh1029]

im currently working on getting certified to be a nail tech! but i'm doing on doing press ons as well and watching ur videos helps me stay motivated so much! thank you

[@ortik4]

Hi girl! Italian PressOn-maker fellah here! I love watching your videos, it really gives me relief sharing the every day struggles of making press ons 😅 while you're enjyoing the EU I would like to give you a couple of suggestions, which of course are only my take on the job. I would advise to wear a mask while you file/buff the tips, our airways must be kept safe at all costs! I would also suggest to discard the outer paper bag (the one before the silver mailer), just to be less wasteful. You're already so well branded! I hope you don't take the last one as a criticism, it's just a mere suggestion 🥰

[@miniamipress]

I should definitely be wearing a mask!! 💕

[@Salmashomar27]

i thought the same on the outer paper bag, since she'd be saving money skipping on it too, I get that 'brand presence/presentation" is important, but the silver mailer and smaller bags are enough.

[@jasmine8975]

I'd say ditch all the plastic and put everything into the paper bags!!! Way better for the environment and saves her the extra cost and waste for customers!

[@michellefoley8598]

As always, thank you for sharing your process and so much of the little details :) love this longer vlog style! Thank you for uploading even when you’re so busy :)

[@miniamipress]

ouuu I was curious how people would feel about the longer vid, glad you enjoyed it!!

[@melodygroves6680]

as someone who is messy with messy kids and a messy partner I love watching you organize things, its almost like ASMR for me. I also get so many helpful tips from you.

[@melangeblanc]

I love your videos so much. It’s so relaxing and comforting to watch someone else prep and do the whole process while I’m working on new designs in the studio as well. ❤

One of the best ASMR videos ever , I could listen to her do nails and package all day 😹 weirdly soothing to listen to

[@kellalafaire8534]

One free extra nail is so nice, but maybe you could offer extras beyond THAT for a small price? They could also be plain perhaps.

[@pherrieFerrisFerrous]

Question … love the backup nail idea, but I was thinking, only 1? Why not 2, one for each hand? You have the space on the card. Might just be me and wanting every thing even…lol

[@mixr]

OMG thank you for that tip about filing the chrome. I always get chipping. You're a lifesaver!

[@taccora]

The thought of a backup nail is thoughtful, but doesn't add much goodness because what if the thumb is missing, but the nail provided fits an index You can (potentially) file down a bigger size, but there's not much use for a nail that's too small. You'll be wasting product to provide something that may or may not fit the wearer.

[@likethestarsaboveus]

You won't be able to make a bigger nail fit a tinier one even if you file it because they're made by the shape of the nail and if you buff it you ruin it, the best she can do is offer a nail that fits on most of your fingers so if you lose index middle or ring nails you can wear the replacement. This comment was unnecessary

[@raedragonclaw5831]

can we get a tour of your nail colour collection. i would love your options on the brands and how they are to use.

[@CarrieReagh]

Your videos have inspired me to try nail art. I love watching them. Two questions...how are you creating the color swatch blob on top of the bottles and what is the grippy tool you're using to put the finished nails on the cards? Thanx!!! [Edit: I found my answers to both Q's 😊]

[@lareignanailsit7314]

I love your videos. I come here purposely because you are where I am striving to be at some point. The way you went from unboxing to reorganizing really made me love it here more. That was entirely something I would so knowing I have other things to do lol.

[@xXbakacoconutXx]

I've been really enjoying your videos, i just found your channel today! You seem to be the kind of person who really values organization and "categories", so I was wondering if you might make a video about your favorites for certain "categories". For instance, I really want to get different opacities of colors, but I'd want to hear who you recommend each for "category" of color gels (cream gels, syrup gels, jelly gels, glass gels, and clear gels). I'd also be interested in what good starting colors/sets you recommend for each type, so like if I were to say I wanted to limit each category to 10 gels and mix any in between colors, what range would you recommend? Sorry for the long comment, but i feel like our brain operate similarly, so i feel like you're a good person to ask!

[@ameerahzara3216]

Please what app do you edit with Or can you make like a little tutorial on how you edit Thank you in advance

Hi just wondering what nail collector you use? Btw great work love seeing your videos!

[@Firesignnaildesign]

Such a great video- hope you have so much fun on your trip! I have a question…how does this business pay off for you? I know you work an “actual” job, and so you have to limit how many sets you sell, and your sets are so detailed and pretty, and it seems to take you a lot of time to make them….i imagine, with all the time you spend, and materials, you can’t be making more than like $10-$15 an hour? I don’t mean to sound rude at all! I’m just genuinely curious- like how do you make your time worth it? Or is it more of a hobby for you in that you don’t really aim for profit? Thanks for all your helpful videos and info! ❤

[@miniamipress]

I know I need to charge more but have anxiety about it 😬 I’m gonna talk more about money in an upcoming video!!

[@emilysutton2410]

Hey I love your videos! Thank you so much for sharing your experiences! I was just wondering if your throat has ever gotten irritated from the acetone/alcohol and if so any tips for preventing that?

So, I have a question. How do you know which nail to include as a backup nail?

[@KaterynaM_UA]

she said in the video?

[@bunneyvibes]

I also literally couldn’t find where she explained it in the video while replaying so many times, so I went to her Instagram, another person also made a comment wondering how would she know what size of that extra nail to make, this is her response: “I am opting to select a half size in between the ring and the middle finger. So you could make it work for any of those three nails”. I hope it helps you ❤

[@emmadidyournails]

your videos have gotten me to start my press on business thank you so much for your guidance 😭💓 i was gonna ask when shipping an order do I have to include like thank you cards and stickers like other small businesses do? like what do you include in your shipping box? xx

[@iihnaaaa.bynnnn]

I have a question!! I want to start my own nail business one day or have my own little hobby for myself but the thought of being financially unstable to afford this much items is intimidating!! how much would you think your gels, tips and other equipment costs all together…?

I would like to start my own press on nails business, and I saw that shein sells gel polish. Should I buy them from there? They’re very cheap, and the other alternative is to buy it from a local seller that sells good quality polish for double the price shein sells it for.

[@KaterynaM_UA]

if you want it as a business it makes more sense to invest for quality supplies tbh.

[@amymonica1304]

"I've bitten off all of my nails because I'm stressed" is literally me. I switch between gelX and press ons, and find they last maybe a max of 2 weeks, because I will knaw them of, and then go at my natural nails underneath ;-; High cortisol girlies

[@miniamipress]

Ouuuu I really don’t know I’ve bought expensive ones that are good and expensive ones that are bad. I really don’t know much in terms of chrome power ingredients (what to look for/ avoid) but I would say go for the cheap ones to start. I have a bunch and they work great!

[@kristenwestelaken8530]

are the buyers using nail glue to put these on? I noticed you're using gel-x. Don't those have to be cured? I am still learning!

[@Lifesucks40]

They use a air dry glue. The gel over the nail is already cured, and you have to use air dry glue because if you used a gel glue the gel couldn’t cure under the opaque color gel.

[@Jewelrybysoph]

Hi love your channel and your videos💗 can you link you shop pls

[@moneshahkrishnakumar8276]

Out of curiosity do press on nails artists have to create their own design for each set or are they allowed to copy sets that they see online to sell them. Is there some sort of nail copyright?

[@KaterynaM_UA]

I don't think it's copyright more like... morals? One can do anything for themselves but if you sell the complete design someone else came up with and don't ask permission/credit you might be exposed by the original creator and get a bad reputation. And in this business getting reputation and finding clients is the hardest part. There is nothing wrong combining different elements from various designs, just not like a complete set rip off.
