Let's be honest...we've all been getting our nails done wrong this whole time. That quick SNS mani you love? It might actually be damaging your nails. Those "breathing breaks" you take? Complete myth.

This week, I'm sitting down with Sarah Elmaz - the woman who turns nails into actual art galleries. We're talking three-hour appointments, Disney characters so detailed they look like tiny paintings, and clients who fly interstate just to sit in her chair. But more importantly, she's about to blow up everything you think you know about getting your nails done.

From why SNS is basically just expensive glue and powder, to the real reason your manicure only lasts two weeks (spoiler: it's not your fault), Sarah breaks down everything your nail tech should be doing but probably isn't.
