Our very first Paloma workshop at Oregon Nail Expo in Portland, Oregon was a full-on success! After weeks of planning (and a very late night setting up the day before ), everything came together better than we could’ve imagined!

We welcomed 26 amazing nail techs into the room - all passionate, curious, and ready to learn! The energy was high from the start and stayed that way through every demo, hands-on practice, and Q&A.

Here’s what we covered:

💅 Step-by-step e-file dry manicure with a focus on safety, precision, and clean results

✂️ Smart nipper techniques - no over-trimming, no bleeding, just flawless cuticle work

🧴 Proper prep that actually prevents lifting and chipping

💪 Thin, structured hard gel strengthening without bulk

🎨 Bonus: How to create perfect french tips in minutes

💎 And the finishing touch - how to choose and apply top coat like a pro, with zero streaks or bubbles

Watching everyone level up, support each other, and leave feeling confident made this day unforgettable. Huge thank you to Paloma and to every single student who showed up — this was just the beginning, and we can’t wait for more!
