Mastering Luxury Press On Nails

Sezen | Phase 1 student

I have gotten so much more out of this program than I could possibly imagine. But the most important thing is really feeling your support and knowing you are rooting for each and every one of us. You are a rare gem Chloe - in a world where everyone is pushed to being individual success stories, you cheer for us and lift us up. May you always be around people who can see and appreciate that.

Brydie | Phase 2 graduate

It made me realize how much work and effort goes into being a press on artist. I was a bit naive previously having zero experience but it’s made the whole thing so much more worth it. Your amazing and thank you for creating a course that genuinely helps people live out their dreams!

"I WENT FROM Zero SALES IN MARCH 2025 TO AN AVERAGE OF 3 Consistent CLIENTS A WEEK SINCE LAUNCH."

Results vary from artist to artist, and Vanessa’s aren’t a promise of yours.

Vanessa’s story, in her words

Vanessa, Meadowlark and Poppy, Phase 2 graduate, @meadowlarkandpoppy

“I am a full-time mom to two kids under 4, former teacher, and just navigating making this my career…As a new press on artist I felt overwhelmed with social media and how I could stand out as unique and relevant in a market of very talented and qualified nail artists.

During the program I enjoyed getting to connect with other press on artists and felt inspired as we cheered each other on. I also really LOVED the group coaching calls with Chloe because it was so personable and you can tell that education is one of Chloe’s passions. As a former teacher I am thankful for Chloe using her knowledge to empower other women who want to break into this industry.

The program layout and each module was really thoughtfully created and gave me the steps needed to get my business going. I have been talking about this for almost a year and in only two months I was able to expound upon what I’ve built and make it legit. I am really glad I invested in myself with this program.”

Before

“I had no social media following or engagement, no website, just Etsy with a whole lot of likes and only 3 sales in a 3 month period 😰😩😭 No established business plan, not an established business (I didn't even know what I needed to do to start). No designated bank account for business. Lots of doubt and comparison and thinking that this was a silly idea. No email list or subscribers.”

After launch

  • A steady increase of customers and sales: March 2025 = 0 sales, since launch = an average of 3 consistent clients per week
  • Officially registered her business in San Diego & have a separate bank account
  • 20 email subscribers
  • A growing social media account (from 10 to about 250 followers)
  • A real, professional looking website that offers a variety of payment options
  • Offering other creative ways to generate income besides nails (e.g., offering calligraphy and earrings to hopefully capture another audience)
  • A branding package she's proud of because she designed it herself
  • She created a work desk and mini studio in her house to dedicate to working and fulfilling orders
  • She's worked at 3 markets so far as a way to meet clientele IN PERSON. She has about 3 more scheduled for the summer.

Launch Your Luxury Press On Business

How Bernadette Launched in under three months

On launch day, within minutes, I had sizing kits ordered. Almost none of my orders have come from people I know, and almost all from strangers. Which means I’m on the right track.

Bernadette | Phase 2 graduate | Blackheart Nails | @blackheart.nails_

Timelines vary from artist to artist, and most artists in Phase 2 launch in 12 to 16 weeks.

Four graduates on before and After

  • Before“I was too scared to start”

    After“I've outgrown my fear and accomplished my goal!”

    Read Melizza’s words

    I'm proud of myself for actually completing it after years of holding off. I was too scared to start and now I wish I would've taken it more seriously from the start. But now I can say I've outgrown my fear and accomplished my goal!

  • Before“just looking more like a hobby”

    After“building a “real” business”

    Marie | Phase 2 graduate | @bonobonoyapress | bonobonoya.co.uk

    Read Marie’s words

    I am most proud of myself for building a “real” business, instead of it just looking more like a hobby. My favorite part of this course was being part of the community and learning new skills!

  • Before“business wise it was a weak point for me”

    After“I confidently tell people about what I'm about and what I do!”

    Nikkie | Phase 2 graduate | @nikkienailsit | nikkienailsit.com

    Read Nikkie’s words

    I'm also so proud of the confidence I've gained in my business! Like I knew I did a good job artistically, but business wise it was a weak point for me. Learning how to truly build and run my business has helped greatly! Now, I confidently tell people about what I'm about and what I do! I've literally become a walking/talking billboard for my business lol!

  • Before“Being on social media has always given me a lot of anxiety”

    After“I am more comfortable now”

    Mary | Phase 2 graduate | @stellarnailzzz | stellarnailz.com

    Read Mary’s words

    The biggest lesson I learned during this course was how to do one thing at a time. I tend to do too much at once and then get overwhelmed. This course helped me stay on track. I’m most proud of myself for completing it! Also, how much more social I have become. Being on social media has always given me a lot of anxiety, but I am more comfortable now.

More from Phase 2 graduates

Yaritza | Phase 2 graduate

My favorite part about this course was the depth of all the lessons. The fact that everything was broken down and it was easy to understand. Also, the ability to reach out with any questions or concerns. Chloe showed genuine interest in my success.

@landofyarinails

Kelly | Phase 2 graduate

I am most proud of sticking to my schedule and not getting impatient. In the past, I tended to try to do everything at once. This course gave me the step by step structure and planning to keep on track without getting overwhelmed.

@moonlightpressons

Keely | Phase 2 graduate

She [Chloe] is such a great mentor & so so supportive! She will make you believe in yourself on the days you feel you're failing at your business!

@keelys_nailss

Diana | Phase 2 graduate

I'm most proud that I actually launched and am a CEO of my own business. Never in my lifetime did I think I would ever do this. I'm proud that regardless of what I was going through personally, I showed up, did the work and launched!

@anamatednails

Sebrina | Phase 2 graduate

I'm most proud of myself for getting more comfortable with social media and putting myself out there. Just...thank you. This course and community you have created has helped so much. :)

@1977nails

Melynee | Phase 2 graduate

I’m proud of myself for finally launching. I’ve been wanting a press-on business for 4 years.

@livinnailed

Renee | Phase 2 graduate

Joining The Press On CEO Method has changed the direction of my business in more ways than I ever imagined. It was no longer a hobby, but an actual business in which I'm the CEO. The Press On CEO Method is a community of creative, business minded individuals who support and lift one another up. No competition. We celebrate each other's accomplishments and are there for the hard times as well. As a woman in her 60s, I'm here to tell you there's no such thing as too old, too young, or too late.

I learned that creating nails was not just a passing phase or hobby, like a lot of things I've started thru the years and never finished. I also learned that I'm capable of focusing and completing something from start to 'finish'.

@honeybae_nailz

Bernadette | Phase 2 graduate

For me, the thing I am most proud of is that I did it. I didn’t postpone or chicken out. After thinking of so many things for so long and putting it off, I’m so proud that I actually did the thing and launched my own press on nail business.

@blackheart.nails_

Miraqule | Phase 2 graduate

Building my website was the most difficult part of this course for me but also the best part along with the group chat. Creating my website let me show my creativity and actually show me something physical that helped lock in that what I'm creating is real.

@miraquledidthat

Shana | Phase 2 graduate

This program is just simply amazing. You [Chloe] are amazing. It just blows my mind all you have created at such an early stage in your life. Truly wonderful. Thank you for making such a wonderful program.

@timeless.nails.by.shana

Vanessa | Phase 2 graduate

Actually creating a business and getting my art out there. I think i have a unique and joyous product to bring to the nail space. I love that there is space for me and can't wait to meet my new clients. Chloe thank you for using your gift of teaching to help us thrive. It has meant the world to me.

@meadowlarkandpoppy

Becky | Phase 2 graduate

My favorite part about the course was learning about social media and marketing. For me, it's always interesting to see how different folks bring about their art into the world. I'm grateful for your guidance and your no bullshit approach, it's refreshing and your generosity really is another level. So happy to have someone like you and the community you built in my corner.

@pressonbex

Maisy | Phase 2 graduate

I used to think just making nails was going to be good enough. I never realized just how much work is behind running a legitimate brand. The biggest lesson I learned is that I need to keep showing up + staying consistent to see progress. I can't expect to just blow up because the nails are nice.

@nailzmami

Elsy | Phase 2 graduate

My favorite part of this course is having a community of like minded artists.

Lily | Phase 3 member and Method community moderator

I can tell my technical skills have improved from all the knowledge gained; my network on socials has grown from not only fellow members but also their networks. I've learned so much about supply chains for packaging, making my own products, and aspects of business I'd never looked into for myself through the shared knowledge of the group. I've also learned of so many invaluable resources from everyone as well!

  • Before“very new and I wasn't really sure if it would work out”

    After“my business has started to grow”

    Kirsten | TPA member

    Read Kirsten’s words

    Before TPA, my press on nail business was very new and I wasn't really sure if it would work out or if I could earn a full time living from it. By following classes on the portal and with encouragement from Chloe and the TPA girls, my business has started to grow and I'm confident that my business will get to where I want it to be if I keep going!

Kirsten | TPA member

My favorite part of TPA is the community of press on artists. Being self employed can be lonely sometimes and, being new to the press on nail world, sometimes it feels like I'm the only one on this journey, but then I put a message in the TPA group chat and lots of the girls are there to help with something I'm struggling with or doubting myself on and I realize that I'm not alone in this! It's great to have other press on artists to bounce ideas off of or to chat with about nail things. It's like we're virtual colleagues (friends!!)
