What’s INSIDE

A passion and talent for nails is not something that happens overnight, it is a wondrous journey of trial, error, perseverance, and commitment to consistently upskill, learn new techniques, gain more knowledge, and push yourself to unlock your own unique creativity.

In this issue, you get an insiders report of this year’s fashion month and what is set to inspire the nail design trends and looks for 2024. Use these ideas, shapes, colours, and styles to create your own looks – learn to challenge yourself, step out of the box, and bring your clients the latest off the fashion catwalks with your extra special twist.

With the festive season around the corner, we also share insights on how to prepare your salon for the coming season as well as a step-by-step nail art guide on how to create the cutest Mrs Gnome.

If you are focused on increasing sales and profitability over the coming season, why not add the purchase of a much-needed heel balm to every pedicure and manicure booked. There is no easier exercise to do, and your clients will thank you for it. Set yourself or your staff a challenge with a valued incentive. In this issue, we discuss the benefits of using a heel balm and showcase some of the best products available.
