Community Spotlight: Clare Greenwood @nailedbyclare
This month’s Nail Tech Spotlight is on Clare Greenwood @nailedbyclare, a detail focused nail tech with a photography eye and a real love for supporting fellow artists. Clare found HONA when gel allergies were becoming a bigger conversation in the industry. Newly qualified and determined to make the safest choices for her clients, she researched alternative systems and instantly connected with what HONA stands for. As she puts it, “It was so nice to find a brand that truly cared about nail health, making good products and their customers.” Since converting, she’s seen a huge shift in her builder gel work. The self levelling consistency has cut down refinement time and shortened appointments, while still delivering the structure and shine her clients love. With inspiration saved in carefully curated folders and a habit of photographing every set, Clare runs her business with real intention.
Keep reading for her advice on switching systems, posting consistently, and the three HONA must haves she couldn’t live without.
February Trends we've been loving
February is where the shift starts. Spring sets begin creeping back in, romantic details take over, and clients start asking for something a little fresher than winter neutrals. Think: soft blush bases, glossy sheer pinks, micro hearts, subtle shimmer, and delicate florals, the kind of wearable romantic looks that still feel clean, polished, and totally salon friendly.
