Guys im over here listening to this like “ oooh this is so interesting “ and its my own video 😂😂😂 I hope you guys like it ! 💞💞💞🫶🏼🫶🏼
And that's on the evolution of yourself. There is so much to learn each day, this is such a monumental moment. Truly. You seeing yourself growing and overcoming. So amazing!!!
OMG im in the bay area
Girl you’re amazing at what you do! My fam is in the bay! I’m So Cali, and love your videos! I’m so appreciative of this! I take so long to do a set right now. I am not good at acrylic at all! It’s awful but I’m doing press ons for myself based on the ones you post! Keep posting your business is gunna continue to grow! God Bless you!!!
😂
Same I felt like I was otp and I’m like “ yea I got it I understand “ 😂😂
Val…seriously …I am emotional over this video. I don’t think you know how much you are helping those who are similar personality to you. You have done this and you’ve done it on the level and in the way that you know you can handle. Not thinking to yourself “well I don’t want to deal with a website so I can’t do this for real.” “Well I don’t have a drawer full of perfectly organized supplies like _____so why bother”
So it’s making it feel possible for those emotionally over whelmed at thought of what is involved. I think you are revolutionary with your channel. Honestly.
Keep going.
Those who your style will appeal to will be the same type of people to be the most loyal and grateful.
We are out here. And we are You.
You are so incredibly sweet i really appreciate you 🥺💘 every time you comment I could cry because of how amazing you are with words and how supportive you are to me ! I genuinely appreciate you 💞💞💞
Amen! I feel you I'm too hard on myself and think...ok it's not the perfect conditions so I give up!! No I just gotta start someplace. Thanks for this comment, I feel seen 🙂.
You sound like a weirdo! Who gets emotional after watching a video about nails?? Wtf?? Get a grip on your emotions and maybe you could start a business… 🤦🏻♀️
Beautifully worded love. ❤ You have explained so eloquently how I feel. Im a pretty good artist, but the thought of doing anything monetary with my work was exhausting. I would literally talk myself out of it before I even started. My mental health stole my teens and then my physical health started to steal my 20s, which robbed me of even tryibg to enjoy life. Now at 34, ive decided to judt go for it and Ive got Val to thank for thst s good bit. TYSM for posting you wonderful humans❤.
@@funsizedi88I 100000% relate to you down to the age time frames 🥲
This is so helpful! As a 14 yo who wants to start a press on nail business very soon this helps a ton! Thank yo so much! Love from the UK 🇬🇧
Smart young lady. I hope you are very successful in whatever you do.
Same here! 15 tho lol
Smart lady :) keep going!!
Sameeee 16 though ❤❤
Me too I’m 14! I’m doing it in Algeria though because I couldn’t find any nice nail salons or press on nail places so I decided to do it myself
I’ve recently gotten into gel-x nails cause I looooove having my nails done and i’ve started watching your videos to get inspo for my own sets. I just love it, the designing and all the colors, the charms. Idk if this will lead into a side hustle or a full time business, but I love doing it for me ❤️
omg I feel ya, any job is stressful but painting people's nails in person can be so overwhelming and I'm also an emotional person. I want to one day make a press on nails business bc I heard it's less overwhelming. And thank you for the video, it motivates to pursue my dream.
Thank you for being so transparent you’re videos have helped me a lot working on my own nails and I do have issues of comparing myself ( being a complete beginner) to the pros and I do get discouraged but i know i enjoy doing nails so I just keep doing it! You’re nails are amazing 💕💅🏽💫
Thank you so much for sharing!
I got 2 autistic kids and I really need to do as possible to get a better life for them both!
I think that’s our chance!
I’m already a nail artist for a year now but still have a long way to go….
So thank you again! ❤
Felt that!!! Waiting to get one of my twins tested and also have a 5 month old. I want a better life for them so figured to do press on nails but I’m scared to start… I hand paint characters also I been doing acrylic 3 months ❤❤ WE GOT THIS MAMA BEAR !
You go mama! I’m in the same boat. My 6 yo is autistic and I couldn’t find childcare for her over the summer because we didn’t have any programs that were willing to take her. I had to take a lower paying job to work from home but then I feel like I’m letting technology babysit her while working 8 hours just for it not to be able to cover my bills. Doing press ons would give me a little more freedom with time and hopefully financially as well. You can do it!
Thank you for being real. I deal with depression and anxiety. I have held back for having an online feed because of it. You inspire me to go for a nail career.
So I just want a few make a few sets for myself on the side. I’m retired already and I don’t want to business and all of that. So I just want to make a few emergency sets and put them aside for when I don’t have time to do my nails or something important or last minute comes up. I can just pop on some nails.
So my first question is, what type of tips are you using here? Are they acrylic tips or are they gel tips and does it matter?
In question number two, why do my tips shrink when I’m finished with my product and they no longer fit? Should I start out with wider tips?
I started just like you doing my own nails cause them salons are expensive and for the simplest designs and I’m getting really good at it. Thinking about starting a press on business so this video was insightful. What do you think about starting a yt channel as well though? Do you think that a yt channel is essential too? I’m shy and don’t like to be in the spotlight.
What's the tea on Glam and Glitz? Should I b3 embarrassed to be using their monomer rn lol awman
I lovey your sets so much your helping me grow 💗 and you explain things so well! I was wondering if you can do a video of how you package and what you give with the set of press ons
Yes thats going to be the next episode in this series 💕
Thank you so much for doing this video! I'm an old retired nail tech wanting to start a press on business for extra income. I am a loyal follower and love your videos!
You should totally do it ! 💕💕💕
I started considering doing press-ons for some of the reasons you mentioned. I did a sert on someone & took forever, I felt so bad but I love the decorating & artistic side of nails. Thanks for these videos 💗
I just found your channel and I must say it really encourages me to start my career, you’re really inspiring and motivating in a really humble and down to earth way. Really looking forward to learn a lot more from you ♥️ Thank you for that 🌹
As a 40 something old woman…thank you. This was a great vid.
This is my first time here, and I'm also new to press on nails business, I'm in the first stage still struggling and it's really been frustrating cos I'm actually a university student and i do go round my lecture room to advertise to people,upon the smiles and me meeting each and everyone of them ,i did not make a single sales ..... except 1 and it was the only day i got lucky.... it's frustrating and I really wanted to cry but then i really do not want to give up ,just wanna be an independent girl.... thanks for this video ,you are my nails mentor now
March 19th is my birthday!!!🎉 we can celebrate together 😂
I appreciate all your videos. You’ve become a daily part of my routine as I am starting my press on business. I have found that doing press ons is what I’m most comfortable with as I love nail art but have anxiety when I do it on people in person so thank you SO MUCH for all these in depth videos. I was wondering how you size for you clients ? That’s the one thing I’m nervous about before opening shop. Also do you suggest to start off with a made to order transaction or have a couple of designs ready to sell first ?
Your videos have helped me soooo so much with my press on business. I’m 15 and all the tips and products you’ve shared have doneee wonders 💕💕✨✨
Hi Val! I LOVE your videos! I've been watching them everyday the last couple of weeks, and you have helped inspire me to start my own press on bussiness 😆 You have helped me so much to know how to get started and I tell you what, you make it look easy!! But I've been practicing your videos, and I'm improving every day 🤗 You are insanely talented! Thank you for sharing your knowledge with the world ❤🩷🧡💛💚💙🩵💜🤎🖤🩶
Love that you NEVER gave up...I don't think you could ever do bad sets
Your journey is just the inspiration I needed!! I have always been an artist and was searching for an avenue to make my art into a business. And it just came to me.. press-ons! Lol I am very excited to take this on and can't thank you enough for sharing all the helpful info and support❤
So in the beginning for you, the nails that u was designing, u was just keeping right? For instance u say to post every day, and I do, but like I'm just starting my business so I'm making press ons, usually just like 1 hand so I can post them to social media and my website and I do some ready to ship sets too, but like the nails that I do 5 of, I just keep them. Is that what u did in the beginning too when u was waiting for ur business to grow?
Yes 🙌🏼
@@Nailsslayedbyval Thank you so much for replying.
Hi , I do this as well. I am new to the press on business and the “work” I show are my personal press ons. But now I’m convinced I should do some ready to ship 20-22 piece sets.
Best of luck
I literally sent u a DM a few hours ago about this EXACT subject. Tysm for sharing ur story and being a constant source of inspiration and motivation 🥰
Thank you for being so transparent 💗 when I started my press on nail journey nobody would help me out whenever I had questions , I am so glad I found you because of you , I didn’t give up and I kept going. I have been able to grow and better my nail designs because of you and all your tips! Thank you so much , I could literally hug you and thank you so so much for everything you have done not just for me but for every one who is into nails🥰
This is such a random question, but how do you keep the clay/ adhesive that you put on the nail stand from sticking too much under the nail tip when you’re done? 😂
Good question. Pull as much as you can off the nail and then take alcohol on a brush or a qtip and it just balls up and comes off.
@@mekeiawatson I’ll try doing that! Thank you!
@@mekeiawatson I tried it and it works! Thank you so much!
Girl… I stumbled across your video and I’ve been hooked!!! I need you to know that YOU ARE THE SH$T!!! Please don’t ever feel like you are anything less than AMAZING!!!!! Keep these videos coming. I’m just starting my press on business, you’ve helped me tremendously.
I have issues being consistent. And pricing. I know im "newer" to this. I've had my nail page and been doing press ons since 2020 but didn't stay consistent. But I also have the high quality nail tips, the gels the brushes so I need help factoring cost so I'm not cheating out on myself.
I enjoyed watching this and hearing about your journey as I’m starting my own journey I love honesty and transparency and the tips you give as a beginner it’s frustrating and some days I wanna give up but it’s videos like this that give me a boost to keep going bc I’m learning what most ppl don’t want to tell you unless you pay them when all you want is to start somewhere. Gratitude for giving your guidance so others here can grow. 😊❤ cheers to my journey and yours 💅🏽🥂
I appreciate your honesty!!! That’s so dope and encouraging I’m thinking about starting; there is so much room for all to shine! I work almost fulltime and I’m busy but I’m like I know with practice I could try this ❤️❤️
Your excitement for nails is how I feel too. I sold my first set to my best friend two days ago 🥲
Your sizing and packaging videos were life savers. Thank you ❤
I needed this sososo bad ❤I had a couple strokes in 2017 n I can’t work, I have a channel on RUclips but haven’t been consistent, this video has been EVERYTHING to me Val
Girl you bared your soul in this vídeo. Thanks for all the information.
I'm now a subscriber. I'm goal is to get my nail tech and cosmetology license within the next couple of years to start my career in the beauty industry. I figured doing nail art and press ons would allow me to dip my toes into this realm. I'm in the same position as you were when you started. I want a more filling career for myself than just the minimum wage job I have rn. you gave a lot of awesome advice I feel and I appreciate your help. Thank you 😊
I been trying to post RUclips here and there that’s nails and you just encourage me to keep going. Thank you for sharing things with us and being nice.
The sole reason I clicked was because I'm looking into doing this for the same exact reasons!! I'm amazing at being able to do tiny art, I can literally draw my cats face onto my thumb nail, I have a talent to be able to paint anything I can see and very tiny BUTTTTT .... I struggle terribly with social anxiety and therefore when trying to do this on family and friends I become overwhelmed and it takes me hours to just do a simple design. I think you and I are not nail techs, we are artist!! The fact that you didn't give up on your talent even though you couldn't do it the way that it's typically done, is so incredibly inspiring to me, you quite literally found a way to still reach for ur dreams and didn't let anything stop you. I'm so glad that you were kinder to yourself than others were. And the fact that you are so young is again just so inspiring to young girls. With that said ur talent is just stunning!!! The fact that your nails can both be flashy and elegant at the same time it's just something you don't see very often. You are able to tie class into every design. One of your designs could be both for a night at the club or an afternoon at a PTO meeting, it's honestly rare to see. Thank you for sharing your tips with others but mostly thank you for sharing yourself with us 😊
I'm Scared To Post My Work Because I'm Scared To End Up Seeing My Work On A Page Laughing At It.
Hey Val, your nails are awesome. It was interesting to hear you admit how long it used to take you. It’s amazing that you get to do something that makes you happy. I started doing my own nails two years ago and I was awful. I use polygel. I don’t work with acrylic at all. I have a lot to learn. I would love to do this for a living. I’m just a little confused on how your customers get the right size. Well, keep going. You’re very talented
This is why I love your videos! It's like having a little sister teach me all the hip new techniques! Lol. You are easy to listen to for hours at a time and so informative! I'm on a press on journey myself and live by your videos, Thank you!
I did want to ask would you be able to do a nail tip video? I have the worst time finding nails with wide nail beds, thumbs specifically. I wanted my focus to be on wider fingers since I have the hardest time finding it my self, I got some enailcouture and the thumbs are just a bit short on my nailbed, after curing shrink is too real, what would you recommend?
Sorry for being Long winded! Keep doing what you lure doing girl, I love it ❤️
You've seriously encouraged me to start my press on business, deadass I already had some motivation but your videos GUIDE ME through any and every storm I'm facing, I swear. I still am working on my website, I'm not even fully up and running on IG yet but you have really, really given me the strength and courage to do this. I'm almost in tears right now because of how much your content has changed my life. I wanted to let you know my business name and stuff but I don't want you or anyone else to feel like I am just self promoting, so if you'd like to get in contact then feel free to reply to this because I just want to give you the largest (virtual) hug. I really, really mean that. When I say thank you, I mean THANK YOU. So much.
I still watch your videos (of course) and always will. You are such an inspiration. 🥰
Hello! I just caught on to your videos cause I’m thinking about starting a nail hobby.. Did you ever take a class or course or did you just go off of what you can find on YTU? Lol, cause I’m thinking about taking a course but they’re all at least 1-2k which is pretty pricey. Like do you have to be certified to sell press ons or is that just to practice on other people? I’m east coast American but I live in Japan. Thanks in advance if you read all this. Thanks even more if you have answers lol..
love your content ❤ subscribed to you!!!! ty for your transparency!!!!
Thank you so much for this video. I'm waiting to have surgery and need to make some extra income. I'm going to gjve this a try. I appreciate you & your time.
I’m still starting out and worry about how long I take 😆 I feel bad. It’s funny cause I feel bad too about my work after like bumed out cause I end up trying to rush especially with top coat
I’m so glad that I found your video helps me to not feel so bad because I’m starting out but I have doubts just like this
Same!!! I’ve been watching you for a long while and I appreciate your honesty and open to share your own lessons and experiences. ❤
I’ve done acrylic since 1992 now doing these and my friend said girl start a business but I don’t know how I’m not a social media person really. Even TikTok. I don’t know how to start a utube or business
Girl I've been hooked on your videos. Thank you so much for all the help you give. 🥰 I'm thinking about starting to do press-ons but damn it's it overwhelming. 😬
I don't do press on I'm a gelx/geltips gal and I've been wanting to take clients for a long time. This video it's such an inspiration! Thank you for this 💖🫶🏻
Thank you girl🙏💖God bless you for this
Hey Val I love all you videos thank you for the inspo for my bday custom set !!! Do you happen to know how to avoid allergic reaction when doing DIY nails?
Do you know any other sites that are good quality but not too expensive (for beginner)
Where I am from shipping fees are kinda high on amazon (11$/item)
Hi Val! I came across your video and I really appreciate it! Being a beginner can be very discouraging and lonely at times. You said so many positive motivational things I wrote down in my nail note book! I am so excited to use these tips in my journey thank you!
your video is so entertaining ❤️ i'm in about the same situation as you right now i'd like to slowly start selling my works as well But I have an important question on my tongue that I haven't found an answer to in any video.. now i just have to ask the stupid question : do you make the nails to order if, for example, you really make each finger different or do you only make them in one size or how should i imagine that? I'm from Germany and I would like to start selling some with a friend.. if you could answer this question I would be so grateful 🙏🏼
Thank you so much for sharing. I’ve literally been stocked and trying to figure out how I’m to start this business even though I always do my nails myself
I have a dumb question. Can you attach the Press ons with like the poly gel stuff so it lasts longer?
Thanks ❤
Thank you so much for this video!!! What gold glitter is that one? The gold/yellow set. The glitter on the indicador finger
Thank you for this! I started watching some of your videos because I have been doing my own nails since 2020 and I have been considering making press-one for a while. Excited for this series!! 💛
Thank you for this video, I feel more motivated to keep going on my journey! And sizing the tips absolutely does my head in but no one talks about it lol, I feel seen 😂
heyy i wanted to know where you can get the sticky stuff for the nails to stick down the link i used didn't work🙏👀
Also your work is amazing and you really helpful 🫶🏼
Yes ! You been on it with the videos lately. Amazing content . I love all your videos . ❤❤❤❤❤❤
hey, love how you are doing I love just your work. and watching your channel is helping me to push me to get the confidence to customize my own , but my questions is where did you get the nail holder from again, i heard you say amazon ,can you give me the exact name of it
I’m very confused how to do a lot of this shit. I don’t really know how to post on Instagram or much of anything else. I do my own nails. I use polygel. I would love to do press ons to sell. It’s definitely tough. There are so many talented nail artists out there. I’m older but I love nails.
Thank you so much Val! Your generosity and teaching is amazing.
I have a question about the camera..is there a certain camera or camera stand you use to get the angle for your videos?
sorry, is primer and dehydrator needed? it probably honestly, but i like bought everything except for that and i’m out of money rn… also what are your thoughts in putting press ons with gel glue or like base coat and idk what do they do, i wanted to try that but i feel like it’s messy and i don’t want to mess up. i got nail glue tho
What gel brands are affordable but long lasting (like won’t chip on customers for at least 3 weeks)?
I have a question that's maybe stupid but.. How does the client remove the press on if they want to ? Cause it seems impossible to me if you use the KDS 😭
Can you share how you started RUclips the camera setup when doing faceless channel
Thank you for your advice and your content, you have inspired me a lot. You are generous and a nice forgiver. Tengo una pregunta sera conveniente hacer un perfil separado de mis uñas de acrilico y las press on? Saludos. ❤
I love your vulnerability and honesty. Especially about self-doubt and depression because I deal with the same things. Except you pushed past it, and you are living the dream. You are amazing!
How do you ship them and how do you do payments and do you have a website if you do where did you make a website ?? It’s a lot of questions but It would be great to know
Hi! Maybe I missed it, but how do you determine nails sizing to make them? Or do you do a lot of sizes and sell those?
I made my business page today. Any tips on advisement ? Or how to gain followers
I really wanna work as an nail artist but i am confused where to start . i am same person like you in customer service but really wanna have my own business. From where should i start😢
This is the first video that gave me inspiration and hope for my own journey. So I'd say you hit the nail on the head with this one Val! 🎉❤
Do you need an LLC before you start creating/selling?
what boxes would you recommend for multiple orders in one
You’re the most down to earth that I’ve ran across on here. You’ve inspired me and I love how you doing gatekeep at all. I’m a forever subscriber.
Just found your page and subscribed right away
i always wonder how or what is the standard size of each nail press ons😢 like diff people have diff sizes of nail beds.
thank you so much telling your journey it give my hope
You took that out of my mouth, i am so emotional too I am so scared that I am not able to do more but I have made a goal that every day I am challenging myself to do something more harder!
What kind of nails do you have? Do you have a really really long nails?
Your video was good. Giving me the confidence to start my own press on
Using Matt topcoat makes it easier to do nail art use it first on the whole nail to draw and then just regular gel top coat and then cure
Omg HD me too lol that’s where I’m at too plus I’m going to Cosmetology school lol
I really appreciate you opening up the way that you have in this video. This is a business I would like to break into. I have fears that I'm not good enough. I'm trying to overcome those fears and go after it anyway believing I'll get better with time. Your videos are really helping me to gain the confidence to believe in myself. So thank you very much..
U can do it girlyyyyy!! Good luck 💗💗
@@calling0nmy4ngelz thank you. Your encouragement has brought tears to my eyes. I have a lot of fear and your kindness is so touching. Thank you. Your amazing!!!
Thank you for being honest and transparent! I'm in the process of setting up a press on business and this was really affirming to hear about all the ups and downs you've went through to gain the success that you currently have! Thanks again for the advice, I know you're only going to keep succeeding.
Can you make a video talking about invoicing and taking payments?
Girllllll!!!!! You’re amazing that’s all I gotta say
Heyyy can you do a video on what supplies to get for a press on business
Thank you so so much for this video!!!!
Hi! What type of gel polish are you using!?
Why did I think you were in Australia lol?
Hello ❤ thank you for share your experience 🥰 I have a question, every time that I do the french nails style with gel polish, the gel top coat remove the white lines and damage all my work, even if before I put it under the LED Light, I don’t know how to do it, because I work hard for put the white lines and the top coat damage it. I am buying a new top coat just in case the formula is messing everything, but for me it doesn’t have any sense, the white gel polish is even dried over the nail when I put the top coat, but for some reason it blends with the top coat. I don’t know if exist a trick or is just the gel nail polish formula is bad.
What color is this for the base
If u don't mind
Thank u so much for this. Looking forward to more in this series. Right now I just make press ons for myself due to an allergic reaction to nail products with HEMA but I love watching your vids for tips. I’ve offered to make some sets for my friends and maybe this can turn into a business 😊❤
Yessss girl!🔥💞💞💞
You’re so sweet and pure heated, I love your vibe, your videos and all your content, Tysm for everything you do 🥰🫶🏻🫶🏻💗😁
