INSIDER NAILS

LITTLE MISTRESS

The change in season from autumn to winter often sees clients move to more festive nail shades as we approach Christmas – and that’s no different this year. Red and glitter are expected to be the most popular winter nail shades by 57% and 50% of you respectively, although the French tip – one of summer 2022’s most popular revival trends – still makes an appearance at 14%.

One of the great things about being a nail tech is the huge variety of work you can do, and training in new skills is a great way to stay interested in the profession.

When we asked which area you were most interested in training in next, 35% of you said gel nails, with the next most popular answer nail art (32%), then e-filing (19%).

Only 38% currently offer nail art, suggesting that there could be a niche in the market for nail techs looking to expand into this area. To get your work noticed, read how to take the best nail pictures on page 44.
