nail model FAQ
how it works
Everything you need to know before signing up ✿
What actually is a 'nail model'?+
A nail model is someone who lets me practise a set on them so I can build my portfolio and level up my skills. In return you get pretty nails for free (or heavily discounted) and I get pics for my socials ♡
Do I pay anything?+
Nope — nail model sets are completely free while I'm practising. If you love it and want to leave a cash tip on the day, that's always appreciated but never expected.
What am I agreeing to?+
I take close-up photos of the finished set (usually just hands, no face) and share them on my TikTok, Instagram & this site. I'll always tag you if you give me your handle.
Who am I looking for?+
Healthy natural nails (no fungus/infections), happy to sit still for 1.5–2 hours, chill vibes, and open to trying designs. I especially love people who'll let me experiment with colour and simple art.
How long does it take?+
Same as a normal appointment — around 1.5–2 hours for a gel set, closer to 45 mins for regular painted. Come with clean, product-free nails if you can.
How soon will I hear back?+
I'll message you within 1–2 days. Slots fill fast, so the sooner you send your form the better ♡
