I’m trying to figure out a custom sit/stand work desk, and was curious where you got your table top from, or what the dimensions are? Is it pretty comfy and balanced to use with clients?
New subscriber! I truly appreciate all of the info you are sharing! I am in the process of moving into a small studio , was wondering about how much did you need to get or start up! I only do regular mani’a and regular gel … sincerely Blanca
I have been building my collection for around 10 years now so I definitely didn't buy everything at once. I did need to buy some additional storage furniture and items for my room but I already had a lot of it. You also definitely don't need as many colors as I do to be successful lol. I probably spent around $1500-$2000 on the additional furniture and other various items. If you need more supplies it may be a little more but you also can budget for these things and build it over time.
Katie, is the IKEA lamp all you use for your pictures? Or you use it in conjunction with the slimline lamp? Also, do you position the light on top of the hands or in front/side of them? Maybe you can make a video about taking nail pictures 😉
Hi! Great video! I have a quick question, so I’ve just started using luminary products & I love them the only complaint I really have is that all my clients experience heat spikes with it even on short nails (when it’s not built up too much) I have a kiara sky lamp & even on low heat mode my clients are having issues with that. Would you say the Akzentz lamp is the same way? I’m trying to figure out which lamp I should invest in before taking that leap. They aren’t cheap! 😩 thanks in advance
Yes the Akzentz lamp will still get hot but I have my clients go in and out to prevent it. Luminary makes their own lamp now with the low heat/flash mode.
Katie, how do you advertise/target customers being that you are gel only? This is what I see myself doing in the future, not just because my love of gel, but I think it would do well in my area. Thanks in advance

loved your desk organizer but when I click the link it brings me to a circle tray! :( off to hunt for something similar
You have to select the “style” there’s a bunch of different styles under the one listing
I just double checked and it looks like they have the top piece but not the bottom unfortunately. I’m sure there are a lot of similar organizers ☺️
@@NailsByKatieDutra there are! I found one similar but a little smaller :) we shall see when I get it :)
Hi. Do you that same light with Light Elegance products?
I use the Akzentz hard gels on my clients 💓
Hi Katie, do you use a specific light bulb for the ikea tertial? I want to get a new light for photos and am hoping to get the ikea one you mentioned.
I do have a different bulb but I can’t remember the exact one. It’s a little brighter I think
@@NailsByKatieDutra thank you, I’ll probably check out the demos in store.
Katie,

Thank you!
It’s mostly alcohol with just a splash of acetone 💓

Thank you very much for letting me know!
Love your videos! :)
What desk are you using ?
