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!

This workshop was held in collaboration with Paloma, a brand I proudly represent as an ambassador. Earlier this year, we hosted our first workshop together at the Oregon Nail Expo in Portland — one of the largest nail-only events in the U.S. This time, our journey continued at the Utah Nail Expo, marking our second major workshop!

The Utah Nail Expo is the largest nails-only trade show in the United States, dedicated exclusively to licensed nail professionals. The 2025 Expo will take place on Saturday, September 27th, at the Utah Valley Convention Center in Provo, Utah.

It’s an inspiring weekend filled with industry-leading vendors, live demonstrations, exciting raffles, and masterclasses taught by top nail artists from across the country — and we’re honored to have been part of it. 💅✨

At America’s Beauty Show, I had the honor of leading a professional workshop dedicated to E-file Dry Manicure techniques — an advanced approach to precision nail care and flawless preparation.

Around 20–30 licensed professionals attended the session, where I shared my methods, tips, and insights on achieving clean, safe, and lasting results using the e-file. Together, we explored the fundamentals of modern manicure artistry, product control, and the fine balance between technique and creativity.

It was an inspiring experience to connect with talented nail artists from across North America at one of the most prestigious beauty industry events in the world. ✨
