Soss Nails at The Rawk Shop, Salt Lake City
“When my nail wheels start falling apart, I pluck them all off and frame them, then hang them on my walls, like shadowboxes. It makes them look like art, especially the nail wheels that follow a theme.” — Soileti Hoko
Shear Image Salon, West Point, Calif.
“I keep my nail decals and stickers in small photo books, and I thought it would be nice to be able to flip through my nail design samples too. I originally put them in the photo book, but they slid, so now they are held in place with staples. They are easy to take out to replace (which I do frequently with holidays, etc.) with new designs.” — Nancy Koll
Make-Up Artistry, Waterloo, Ontario, Canada
“I have a small metal stand the size of a picture frame that has nail art samples on magnets. While shopping, I saw this metal stand and it came with magnets for displaying pictures. I thought maybe I could buy smaller magnets the size of my sample nails, and stick them onto the metal stand. That way, as I come up with new sample designs, the display can easily be changed out.” — Meg Scheeringa
The Hen Shack, Abilene, Texas
“I’ve done nails for eight years, and I just changed to a booth rental agreement in September. That’s when I decided I should have my own nail art display to show off my work. I keep a cute photo album full of all of my designs for people to flip through at their appointment. The basic pricing is listed in the front of the photo album, then additional pricing is listed next to each photo if needed.” — Amy Landtroop
Cosi Fan Tutte, Laguna Beach, Calif.
“For $9.99 at Michaels, I purchased this large multi-compartment frame. The nails are attached with tiny foam pieces and Elmer’s Rubber Cement, so they peel away easily to be changed out often.” — Jae’tte Burneo
