Where is Kellie anyway?

So it's 2025 huh? You ready for this?

Let’s Spill the Nail Polish on This Year!

Can you believe 2024 is done? Thank the Nail Goddess. Like, where did the year even go? It’s been a rollercoaster of a year. So grab your coffee, your tea, or maybe something a little stronger—Let's recap this to say GET BENT to 2024 and get focused for 2025.

Reflecting on 2024: The Good, the Bad, and the OMG

First off, let’s talk about how much the nail game leveled up this year! The trends were popping, and the products? Chef’s kiss.

Here are some 2024 highlights:

Eco-Friendly Everything: Clients were all about going green. From sustainable nail products to reducing waste, we’re officially in our eco-friendly era. Or as much as we can be in this industry. We have been making some changes around here to be more sustainable, it's not easy, but we are trying.
Builder Gel Obsession: BIAB (builder in a bottle) became the Beyoncé or Dolly Parton of nail products. Everyone wanted it—and for good reason. I might have a specialty class for this soon...maybe March? Watch the site👀
Workshops Everywhere: Whether you were hopping on Zoom or hitting up in-person classes, the nail tech community showed up and showed out. I have been working on a few behind the scene things myself, sneakly little minx I am 😂

But let’s be real—it wasn’t all glitter and glamour. We’ve all had those moments, like when a client changes their nail shape mid-appointment or when your fave product is out of stock again (this is the stuff of my nightmares) . The struggle was real, but hey, every challenge is just a new opportunity to level up, right? Always forward, never back!

Goals for 2025: Let’s Make It Shine

Okay, so what’s the vibe for 2025? Personally, I’m feeling all about glow-ups and boss moves (today I am, ask me again in a month 😉). Whether you’re planning to better your skills, stack your client list, or finally master those Instagram reels, 2025 is your year.

Ideas for a 2025 to-do list:

Level Up: Been eyeing a new nail course? Take the plunge. It’s time to be the expert everyone’s talking about.
Salon Makeover: New year, new vibe. A little decor refresh can go a long way in making your space feel more luxe and inviting.
Social Media Glow-Up: Let’s see those fire nail pics and behind-the-scenes reels. Be you, have fun, and connect with your audience.
Expand Your Services: Think luxury hand care, creative services, or jaw-dropping designs that make your clients say, “OMG, I love it!”

Just Do it! None of those things you will regret. Often taking a refresher course or a class you have had your eye on renews your passion. I little face lift in your nail space? Fresh vibes are always good. Just a little FYI, I even signed up for a Social Media Class...so wish me luck and please don't judge my inconsistency 📽️

Now, I’ve gotta get sappy for a second. To all of you, my Ride or Die clients... I LOVE YOU ✌️I mean I extra lots 🩷 you all from the bottom of my glittery heart. Without all of you guys we wouldn't be here doing what we do.

Alright, 2024, it’s been an absolute slice! But it’s time to move on. It's not me, it was you.

2025, Here We Come! We’re ready for you with fresh ideas, big goals, and maybe a little extra sparkle.

So tell me, what’s your big plan for next year? Whatever it is, I’m cheering you on every step of the way.

Let’s do this with style, confidence, grace for one another and flawless nails💅—always.

Happy New Year! Here’s to another year of slaying together. Cheers!

Kellie
