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!!!
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!!!
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❤.
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.
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 🌹
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.
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!
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 ❤️
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 💕💅🏽💫
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 ❤
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🥰
I just started watching your videos after my epiphany of my long-standing love for doing nails, wanting to make some kind of earning but don't want to work on live hands. Your vids are great. you've got yourself set up and even help us find the materials. Very useful information. Thank you. This is the best thing, and I'm happy to see there's a good amount of success that can be achieved. Even if I don't take off, it's a passion anyway that my little cousins would love in their gift bags on holidays.
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!
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 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 💗
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 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..
@@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!!!
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. 🥰
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❤
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!
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 🥰
I related to you soo much in this video about feeling down and doubting myself and my work. I’m just starting off with press ons and am struggling to stay strong and positive. I feel better knowing I’m not alone. Thank you for your help with this video. ❤❤😊😊
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.
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
Hi Val! I’m a complete stranger but…seriously I just want to say I am so proud of you and how far you’ve come. You are amazing…thank you so much for being transparent. You are an inspiration to me. I’ve been watching your videos even before I started my press on nail business on my personal TH-cam account. since I was doing my own nails and I had just moved to the US four years ago. I don’t want to rumble but everything you said in this video was exactly how I felt…comparing my talent to others and like not having everything available. Having imposter syndrome and not wanting to work on people because I was scared. But… I just want to say a big thank you to you for deciding to start your channel and sharing your amazing work and talent with us. It’s incredibly inspiring. ❤
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 💖🫶🏻
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 💅🏽🥂
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'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 needed this sososo bad ❤I had a couple strokes in 2017 n I can’t work, I have a channel on TH-cam but haven’t been consistent, this video has been EVERYTHING to me Val
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 ❤🩷🧡💛💚💙🩵💜🤎🖤🩶
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!
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!
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
I have been following you for awhile now and I am still obsessed with all your content. Your down to earth nature and your nails are always bomb. I am still in the beginning stages of my press on nail business but you inspire me to keep going. Thank you for being such an inspiration to us all!
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 the most amazing video I’ve ever seen. I’m so glad I could relate to you and that everyone went through this struggle. It was also SOOOO useful and interesting. I don’t know how I could have stated without you!
27:50 wow my birthday marth 19th.. that day i was in shelter and was thinking what to do ( after separation from my husband ) now i am starting to do press on nails 😊 and i always listen to your vids to get more advices.. ❤
I love all your videos but these kind are my favorites! Thank you for the honesty. You’re an inspiration to all who are fearful of going for their dreams or goals!
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!! 💛
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 ❤️❤️
I am literally crying watching this vid😢 ty ty ty for giving me motivation, just yesterday I was so emotional because of how long it took me to do 2 sets and it was nothing special
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. 😬
Im @ 9 minutes, almost in tears. So happy i see this vid, about your anxiety and the 5 houres you need for a set on client 😪 i am scared to do nails just for the same reason. I have my certificate since 15 years. Did so much perfection workshops, but all for nothing bc i am to scared because it takes sometimes so long on clients, like last week 4 houres. I was so ashamed. Its my dream to be a nail tech, but i am to scared of the time, and the end result
Thank you so much,am about to start my nail business and this inspired me. I did my first poly gel on my friend few days ago and I nearly gave up. She loved it but to me was not how I wanted it to be,but am not giving up. Thanks for your video.
I listened your full video without even getting bored and trust me your story is really really inspirational for me..Thanku so much for helping 🥺❤️Hope one day I will able to sell my own press on nails❤️
This was a good video. Thank you for being so pretty transparent. This has motivated me to step out in social media, especially to put my work out there. You are awesome. I am looking forward to seeing other videos within this series.
Girrlll u SLAYED those frenchies u make it look so easy!! I really like this style vid so so so informative u deserve the most ♥️ congrats on your business
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 😂
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 ❤️
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 😊❤
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 ?
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.
Hi!! One day can you make a video about how you keep track of orders and how you ship them out since you don’t use a website for purchasing! I’m just starting out and would love some tips. Thank you!!!!
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.

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 needed this sososo bad ❤I had a couple strokes in 2017 n I can’t work, I have a channel on TH-cam but haven’t been consistent, this video has been EVERYTHING to me Val
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 ❤🩷🧡💛💚💙🩵💜🤎🖤🩶

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!
As a 40 something old woman…thank you. This was a great vid.
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!
I love just how real you are! Starting out and learning a lot from this video❤
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
I have been following you for awhile now and I am still obsessed with all your content. Your down to earth nature and your nails are always bomb. I am still in the beginning stages of my press on nail business but you inspire me to keep going. Thank you for being such an inspiration to us all!
Watching a set while you talk about the topic is perfection. So excited for these videos!
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
I’m a new follower and girl your mental health is everything and should always be your main focus thanks for keeping it real ❤
This is the most amazing video I’ve ever seen. I’m so glad I could relate to you and that everyone went through this struggle. It was also SOOOO useful and interesting. I don’t know how I could have stated without you!
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! 🎉❤

I am literally crying watching this vid😢 ty ty ty for giving me motivation, just yesterday I was so emotional because of how long it took me to do 2 sets and it was nothing special
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. 😬
Thank you girl🙏💖God bless you for this
You sound like such a genuinely nice person and I wish you all the success in the world 💅🏻
Thank you, Thank you, and Thank you! Very informative! Following. P.s. you rock girl!
Im @ 9 minutes, almost in tears. So happy i see this vid, about your anxiety and the 5 houres you need for a set on client 😪 i am scared to do nails just for the same reason. I have my certificate since 15 years. Did so much perfection workshops, but all for nothing bc i am to scared because it takes sometimes so long on clients, like last week 4 houres. I was so ashamed. Its my dream to be a nail tech, but i am to scared of the time, and the end result
Omg I am new in this business and your vids has been a big help and motivation to me I am literally brand new
Thank you so much,am about to start my nail business and this inspired me. I did my first poly gel on my friend few days ago and I nearly gave up. She loved it but to me was not how I wanted it to be,but am not giving up. Thanks for your video.
You literally are the best person teacher artist etc I've been here since you first started your TH-cam and I am just so proud of you 🥲🥲🥲🥲🥰
Your video was good. Giving me the confidence to start my own press on
I listened your full video without even getting bored and trust me your story is really really inspirational for me..Thanku so much for helping 🥺❤️Hope one day I will able to sell my own press on nails❤️
You are soo smart and talented! you should be so proud of yourself as well every one else should be proud of you too😊
This was very helpful...I am getting ready to start my press on business next month. So I really appreciate this!!!

This was a good video. Thank you for being so pretty transparent. This has motivated me to step out in social media, especially to put my work out there. You are awesome. I am looking forward to seeing other videos within this series.

I just love all of your work . This is yours girl ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽
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 ❤️
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!🔥💞💞💞
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 ?
Can't wait for episode 2 ❤
I love everything and congrats for reaching so far, you just showed me that, everything it's possible.❤
Thank you for your content, it's helpful. I wanna start my own business and you actually gave good tips 🙏🏾☺ And your Press On are lite 🔥
