I’m going to share with you 4 techniques you have to apply to create straight fine lines so you can apply these techniques right away!
No rulers. No guides.
We’re left with only our very own hands which seem to have their own minds, and depend on them to control and “freehandedly” create straight lines.
I’ve said it before, and I’m going to go and say it again – your photos sell.
Having well captured photos allows you gain attention and establish credibility with potential clients and audience members.
Think about this… when others sell their home, they clean and stage and decorate their rooms. In fact many home sellers hire professionals to stage and photograph their home for them, because they know it sells.
And this is exactly what we as nail professionals need to do. No we don’t need a professional photographer for our work (wouldn’t that be nice?!) but we’re selling our service and they receive a certain appearance to fit the lifestyle they want – all that needs to be properly captured.
As nail techs and artists we are here to make nails look good, and it’s so important that we start focusing on doing justice to your beautiful work when sharing with your clients and following.
This isn’t to say I am a professional photographer and I am totally guilty of taking rushed quick photos, and sometimes it just isn’t possible to take beautiful photos as clients are rushing out or your time is limited.
But when you can, take the time, breathe, and snap carefully.
So let me share with you some of my secrets when taking better photos for nail art.

As expected, we receive a slew of answers from people keeping track through Google Docs all the way to an under comprehensive piece of software.
Yesterday, I had the chance to be interviewed along with my partner, Jessey, on an amazing new Podcast show called ‘The Nail Hub‘. (A podcast is just a fancy term for an online radio show that are recorded and uploaded.) I was a bit shy, but I shared. I shared…
