    Getting Into Nails Later in Life: Talking Confidence, Imposter Syndrome & Becoming the Family Nail Tech with Gel By El
    May 21 2025

    As with as lot of nail techs, neither me or my guest El started our nail careers at beauty college.

    Thank you so much for listening - I'd love to hear your thoughts.
