One more day until St. Patrick’s Day! Until then, we have another feature of one of our favourite St. Patty’s Day themed nails.
These classy nails are by @naillacquerlounge over on Instagram. At first sight, we were green with envy over how beautiful these look. We think the silver accent is the perfect addition.

What’s next for our week of St Patrick’s Day nails? 

@nevernakedd on Instagram is to thank for these beautiful nails; the perfect balance between a classic French tip and a St. Patrick’s Day twist. What’s not to love?

St. Patrick’s Day is ahead, which means themed nail art with luck tons of green, gold, clovers, etc! Which also means we’re excited to feature some of our favorite designs for the rest of this week! Let’s get started, shall we?

These lovely nails were done by @nailingaround on Instagram; the only thing we love more than the perfect shades of green is the fact that these were done by water marbling.

Hand Jobs Opening at 24K Studios, San Francisco

I was so excited to attend the opening for Hand Jobs at 24K Studios last night!

The gallery was showing several collaborations between jewelry artists and some of our favorite nail artists — @hausoflaquer, @britneytokyo, @astrowifey, @nail_swag, @theillustratednail, Fleury Rose, and nailjerks

24K Studios was packed, and we were lucky enough to meet tons of amazing nail artists and lovers. Perfect future artists and customers for TopCoat!

Good way to kick off the weekend huh?!

Site Launch Party - Time to Celebrate!

Wednesday, Jan23 2013. What an amazing day to launch our site, which got 238 visits in the first 24 hours

Thank you again to everyone who visited our site, signed up, reblogged, reposted, commented or liked any announcement about our launch — we couldn’t be more excited about TopCoat knowing that you all are excited too.

On Thursday night, we just had to celebrate. And we’re sharing here on Tumblr so we can celebrate with the rest of you.

Special shout out to Parris and Kiri of Pams and Kin — they joined my friends and I at my apartment on Thursday night in San Francisco to celebrate & hook us up with sweeeeeet nails. Definitely follow these ladies on InstagramFacebook, or buy their polish on Big Cartel. If you’re in the Bay Area, you can reach them at pamsandkin@gmail.com for an appointment. We’re hoping we’ll see them on TopCoat soon!

Gold and black seemed to be the theme of the night. Parris hooked me up with my first 3d, nautical nails! Dark nails & gold striping tape was popular with friends, who each got a different variation of the same manicure.

Get Early Access to Topcoat!

I am thrilled to announce that starting today, we’re accepting sign ups for early access to TopCoat!!

  

Our goal is to make it easier for independent nail artists to find, schedule and book appointments with customers, and visa versa. You do the nail art, we do everything else. 

The map view is one of our favorite features. When you create a profile on TopCoat, you’ll be able to see all the nail artists in your area, the nail art they are offering, and at what price. See below. 

NAIL ARTISTS - Sign up here for more info about TopCoat & how to get early access!

We’ve designed TopCoat to handle the entire process & make it easier for you to turn your passion into a paying job: 

  • You set your schedule, so customers will only be able to request appointments at times that you’re available.
  • Customers request an appointment for a specific time, location, design and price.
  • Customers pay up-front using the web or mobile phone — and you get automatic deposits into your bank account when you complete an appointment. 

                                           

Special thanks to Donne & Ginne of @Heynicenails, Nina of @Ninjahijackyou, and Jasmine of @jazzyreynbow_nails for letting us use their pics to demonstrate these features. Nina is not actually located in Los Angeles, but she willingly let us borrow the pics to demonstrate the feature nonetheless. 

Special thanks also goes to our development and design teams who have been working tirelessly to make TopCoat a reality.

Please sign up, share with friends & join us on TopCoat. We can’t wait to launch the full site early this Spring!  

Cheers, 

Team TopCoat
