Nail Narrative

The UV/LED lamp debate has officially taken over the nail industry, but a lot of creators are pushing dangerous myths under the guise of looking out for your wallet.

In my latest video dropping tomorrow, we are breaking down the real science of polymer curing. We’re talking about why wattage is purely a marketing gimmick, what actually matters in nail lamps and the marketing lies we are sold 🚩

I’m also addressing the online discourse around Doug Schoon, the PLA Costco launch, and why I walked away from the AI lamp collaboration. No gatekeeping, no brand loyalty, just facts. 🔬💅

Set your reminders! Video goes live tomorrow, May 23rd, at 12:00 PM EST. See you in the comments!

They call it "user error"
Poison control calls it a pattern.
I had to drop one more video before going on vacation because this situation is crazy. Unfortunately, this is not clickbait. See you all today at noon EST.

I know, I’m a day late! 🫣🐣

Happy belated Easter besties! I was busy enjoying the holiday weekend with my family, so thank you for the patience. But the wait is over, and today’s video is a much needed convo. How cheap gels have created unrealistic retention standards and why its now falling apart.

We’ve all seen the drama: brands changing formulas, nail techs losing their minds over retention, and the constant search for the next "miracle" HEMA-free product. But the truth: The product doesn’t suck... your prep does. 🚩🛑

I’m sharing the "treadmill incident" where my actual nail tore off, but the gel didn't budge, to prove that HEMA-free retention is 100% possible if you stop using monomers as a crutch. 🧪✨

Dropping TODAY (4/6) at 5:00 PM EST! ⏰👇

I am officially turning myself into a lab rat for science. 🐀🧪

In one hour, I am dropping my most unhinged video yet. I am testing a product I know I am allergic to (HPMA) to prove a point about brand responsibility and the science of proper curing. 🛑

If you have ever been told a gel allergy is "just user error," or if you are scared of certain monomers, you need to see this. 🤯

See you besties at 12:00 PM EST! ⏰👇

I plumbed a 75-gallon reef tank and did my own floors... but did my nails survive? 🛠️🐠

Tomorrow’s video is the ultimate, grueling wear test. I went natural for the first time in forever to see if the PLA Potted Builder Gel could actually handle a full DIY home reno without lifting.

Plus, we have a major fail with Xeijayi and some stunning swatches from the La Catrina Nails "Love and Death" collection. 💃✨

If you’ve been looking for a builder gel that actually stays on through salt water, flooring, and manual labor, you need to see these results.

The video drops TOMORROW (3/22) at 12:00 PM EST! ⏰👇

For a long time, I’ve hidden behind the "not sponsored" badge of honor while staring at 30k in student loans and overdue hospital bills. I’ve been a human guinea pig for free 99 because I didn’t think I deserved to be compensated for my labor.

But the truth is: I’m burning out. And if I want to keep fighting for a safer nail industry, I have to make this sustainable.

Tomorrow, I’m being radically honest about burnout, imposter syndrome, and why I’m done selling myself short. This is not a "woe it's me" it's the reality of content creation. It’s the rawest video I’ve ever filmed, and I hope you’ll hear me out.

The video drops TOMORROW at 12:00 PM EST. ⏰👇

Move over Beetles... there’s a new villain in town. 🚨🛑

Imagine a brand so bad there is an entire Victim Support Group for it on Facebook. 🚩

The nail techs are in uproar about the silent formula change and the retention issues but they're angry at the WRONG THING.

They are gaslighting professionals into believing their allergies are "user error" ... 🧪 It is an insult to our intelligence.

The truth is coming out TOMORROW at 12:00 PM EST!

As promised, I put in the overtime and finished the video early because yall are dying to know which brand I was referring to in my short.

The wait is finally over. For months, the most requested video in my comments has been: Which Amazon brand do you actually recommend for people with allergies?

I have spent a year hunting down an Amazon brand that I could use with my allergy. Most budget brands are a disaster of mismatched ingredients and hidden allergens.

I know I have spent a lot of time telling you which brands to avoid, but tomorrow at 12 PM EST, I am finally revealing the ONE Amazon brand I can actually stand behind. 🏆

Can you guess which brand it is? Hint: It's under $7. 💸

See you in the comments!
