Why the nail dates is for you
You’re a successful nail tech, but self-doubt and a lack of confidence hold you back. Despite dreaming of growth, you struggle with where to begin. Working solo can feel isolating, and you crave a safe space to connect with like-minded professionals and explore everything the industry has to offer. You worry about the toll this career takes on your mind and body, yet finding the balance between work and life feels elusive. Whether it’s understanding profits and pricing, or earning the appreciation and pay you deserve, you’re ready to take control of your business, instead of letting it run you.

Nail tech approved: what our members love
The Nail Dates is a safe space that every nail tech should incorporate into their routine. It has helped me grow not only in my work life through their countless tutorials, techniques and tips but also in my personal life through mindset, pilates and therapy sessions. Additionally, everyone in this community is incredibly supportive, kind and helpful as we share experiences and learn from one another.
I joined the nail dates as I wanted to be part of a community because I work alone in my studio. TND goes the extra mile and offers a space where I can meet other nail technicians who always offer advice and are my biggest cheerleaders. When I’m feeling overwhelmed, I can tap into the wellness area, and if I want to top up my training, I can either watch a tutorial or a guest artist (who are the best in the business). TND is more than just a community, it’s a family of technicians who all support each other and I’m over the moon to be part of it. Thank you Sam for creating this incredible space, I’ll always be forever grateful.
Becoming a member of TND was hands down the best career move I've made since becoming a manicurist. I have elevated my standards, learnt industry tips for socials + content, and even started partnerships with brands, all thanks to Sam, truly grateful to have her. Thank you for creating such a safe and motivational community
I signed up to The Nail Dates in March of 2024, and I can safely say it is the best platform I have joined. I have learnt an insane amount of knowledge watching the videos and tutorials by Sam and the amazing guest artists on TND. I had very amateur knowledge when it came to content for my business, whereas fast forward to now, I am going into 2025, being able to drop a day to fully focus on content whilst also being fully booked the rest of the week. The depth of knowledge and training that goes into the videos are unmatched and I can't even begin to explain how much I have actually learnt. Sam is also an incredible mentor, she is there for any question or query and is so, so supportive. I have also met some incredible new friends through the community, which is so nice to have other nail tech besties that understand nail talk. All in all, I absolutely adore The Nail Dates, I have levelled up my artistry and being able to attend events to be around such talented, lovely people who share the same passion is amazing!
TND - Supportive, creative, inspiring and always learning. The Nail Dates is exactly what I needed, I love it. Whether you’re wanting to learn new skills or brush up on old ones, it’s great for nail techs, no matter your experience. I’ve loved watching the nail art tutorials and when I need to double check a process, I can easily navigate the website to find what I need. The support from other members is the best you’ll get, the experience they have is so incredible, they’re helpful and someone is always there to give advice or answer any questions you may have. I genuinely think that my own work and confidence has grown so much since joining The Nail Dates. Thank you Sam, I wouldn’t be where I am without you!
From the minute I knew about The Nail Dates dropping, I was so excited. There’s a few subscriptions on the market but TND stands above them all. In my opinion, Sam goes above and beyond to make sure her members are heard and listened to. From replying to me always to little gifts she puts on the website like grabbing a Costa. The Nail Dates has all you need to elevate everything about your career. My application has become so much more perfect since watching the tutorials. Everything you need is in one place and her eye for perfection stands out from the minute you go on the homepage. Proud to be a part of the most beautiful community and the nicest girls ever. Thank you Sam, you are the biggest inspiration and you always have been
TND is truly amazing, it is a community and safe space to find out information related to nails. It is 100% worth signing up, the amount of content, information, deals and tips you have access to is unreal. The fact that you can keep going back and accessing the videos is fabulous, the constant new uploads keep up with trends or focus on topics that members have asked Sam for. She really does listen and go above and beyond for members. I have never seen anyone in the nail community go so hard for other nail technician's. Everything Sam does is genuine and authentic and that’s why in the TND community, we love her!!
The Nail Dates is hands down one of the best online nail forums out there! The community is so welcoming, supportive, and full of talented nail techs who are always willing to share advice, inspiration, and encouragement. Whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned pro, there’s always something new to learn here.
Sam puts so much love and effort into everything she does, and it truly shows. From the thoughtful discussions to the valuable resources she shares, you can tell she genuinely cares about helping others grow in this industry.
I also had the chance to attend the first TND event, and it was such an amazing experience! Being in a room full of women who do the same thing as me and share the same passion was so inspiring. It really made me feel like part of a community, and I left feeling even more motivated.
I am particularly impressed by tnds platform’s commitment to providing nail technicians and manicurists like myself with the resources we require. The website’s user-friendly interface and comprehensive tutorials offer expert guidance on nail health, luxury manicures, and pedicures. Additionally, the platform’s detailed knowledge of allergies and effective strategies for avoidance and treatment has significantly enhanced my skills and expertise as a manicurist.
The founder Samantha consistently delivers in areas that manicurists and nail technicians like myself like to gain further knowledge or insight on. She is exceptionally friendly and is consistently there to help you thrive within your business!
Thank you for creating such an amazing platform and community for us Manicurists and Nail Technicians.
Joining The Nail Dates has been a game changer for me. Before finding this community, I struggled with confidence in my career but Sam’s support, guidance, and incredible resources have completely transformed the way I see myself as a nail tech. Her tutorials, guest artists, and the overall encouragement from other members have helped me grow in ways I never thought possible.
In December, I attended my first ever nail event, and I was blown away by how welcomed I felt—not just by Sam, but by the entire community. It was such a positive, uplifting experience, and I left feeling inspired, motivated, and more confident than ever.
I’m so grateful to be part of this one of a kind group, and I can’t thank Sam enough for everything she does. If you’re looking for a place to learn, grow, and truly belong, The Nail Dates is it!

What do I love about TND? Absolutely everything! I joined when it launched, being very new to the industry, and it’s been an absolute game changer.
From an endless amount of tutorials covering pretty much everything and more to being a part of the best community, all doing our best to support one another through the highs and the lows, building each other's confidence and the most beautiful friendships. Attending unreal events, giving us the most incredible opportunities face to face, putting names to faces and sharing our journeys, whilst inspiring one another.
Sam is our earth angel, the gift that keeps on giving! She is there to support you, guide you, pick you up, offer advice and share her knowledge. She brings more than you could possibly imagine. Thank you Sam for creating TND and allowing me to be a part of your empire. Thank you for being the best!
Joining TND has been an absolute game-changer for me as a newly qualified nail tech working alone in my garden cabin. It’s packed with every tutorial you could ever need, taught by some of the best in the business! Anytime I’ve had a question or felt unsure about something, I’ve found instant answers, which has massively boosted my confidence.
But it’s not just the education—it’s the amazing community Sam has created. The support from everyone is incredible, whether it’s chatting in the WhatsApp group, sharing advice, or meeting up at organised events. It really feels like having a team of experts and friends there whenever you need them.
I’d be lost without TND—it’s honestly my nail bible!
I joined TND initially because…well, have you seen Sam’s work!!
I have been a member of several subscriptions in the past 4 years and have never experienced anything like TND. It’s a safe space full of like minded, inspiring individuals who all support each other. The education and content available is at the highest level, with the best resident artists and I have learnt so much over the last year.
Sam is incredible, she is always on the other end of her messages to help where she can despite being very busy. She never makes you feel like just a number but a person who is worth all there is to offer. The best part about TND is the community, filling that little hole a lot of us self employed girlies have.
Thank you TND!
I honestly have no words or thoughts on how to describe being a member of The Nail Dates. It’s an inspiring community and family merged into one, with Sam being the big sister we all needed. I joined the nail dates to further my education and boost my confidence. The variety of videos ranging from business advice to general nail tips and tricks is unmatched.
Anytime I am unsure or feeling over whelmed, I chat straight to the girls and receive the support and advice I needed. It is such a wonderful, kind and supportive platform that I am honoured and grateful to be a part of. I can log into the platform at anytime and catch up on videos or challenge myself to try new techniques. I have also learnt so much from the guest artists, some of which who I have followed for years. Who inspire me to be the nail tech I am today. Thank you Sam, we appreciate you so much 💗
The nail dates is an amazing community. The resources and tutorials available are so extensive, everything you can think of is there. It's a great tool to have as a resource. We have a group WhatsApp and it is so helpful and useful we have a great support network. Samantha is just amazing, she always delivers and is always on hand to help. I can’t recommend the nail dates enough.
Joining The Nail Dates is the best thing I ever could’ve done for my career. Since joining TND I’ve fully launched my business, quit my 9-5, and started making money in something that I’m completely passionate about. All the tutorials, business packs and just the sheer amount of knowledge inside TND is so detailed and well thought out. Members really do want for nothing and Sam takes all of our requests on board, delivers, and literally NEVER misses. The community of TND is really what sets it apart - from the very active WhatsApp group where someone will always respond to you, whether it’s for advice, reassurance, opinions (or just a fat yap!), to the live coaching and therapy sessions which are the sole reason that I felt empowered enough to leave my day job. TND events are next level - there is something so special about standing in a room with so many inspiring and like-minded people. Finally, Sam is genuinely one of the kindest, most generous and wonderful people I’ve ever had the chance to meet. She actually cares about every single member, what they’re doing with their career, what their dreams are, and dedicates time and effort to get them there. She gives everything she possibly can to TND and her members and I am just so grateful I’ve had the opportunity to be a part of this wonderful community. We love and appreciate you so much more than you realise Sam! Thank you!
The Nail Dates is the best thing I have been a part of. It has taught me so much and I feel like my work has improved massively since joining. To log onto a platform and find the answers to anything I need and get advice from so many others has been amazing! Sam is crazy talented and has created something that everyone should be involved in as it’s a safe and helpful community!
