How we create, test and correct every article.

Who writes Nailoholic

Nailoholic is written by Brynn Calloway, a nail artist and beauty writer. Brynn creates the designs, writes the articles and approves every update before it goes live.

[If anyone else writes, reviews or photographs for Nailoholic, name them here with their role. If it is only Brynn, keep the sentence above and delete this line.]

Every article shows its author and the date it was last updated. You can read more about Brynn on the About page.

Our standards

• Useful first. Every article answers a real question: which design, which shape, which colors, how to do it.
• Accurate. Product use and nail-care steps match the manufacturer’s instructions and reliable sources.
• Original. We write our own words and credit other people’s designs and photos.
• Honest. We say what went wrong, not only what went right, and we never claim testing we did not do.
• Clear. Plain words, real steps, no filler.

How an article is made

1. Choose the topic

   We start from questions readers ask, current trends, and designs Brynn wants to share.

2. Research

   We read the product instructions and check the facts against the sources listed below.

3. Create and photograph

   Brynn creates or recreates the design and photographs the result. [Say where and how: for example, on her own nails, on clients with permission, or on practice tips.]

4. Write and check

   The article is written, then checked for accuracy, clear steps and safe advice before publishing.

5. Review and update

   We review published articles [every X months] and when products, trends or advice change.

What our labels mean

Each article carries one label near the top, so you know what kind of experience is behind it. We only use a label when it is true.

Sources we use

• Manufacturer instructions and safety information for every product we show.
• [Professional nail-tech guidance or training material you rely on.]
• [Dermatology or nail-health sources, for example professional medical associations.]
• Brynn’s own hands-on experience, which we label as such.

When a fact comes from a source, we link to it in the article. We do not copy other blogs’ claims without checking them.

Photos and AI

Photos. Nail photos on Nailoholic are [Brynn’s own / mostly Brynn’s own]. When we use a photo or design by someone else, we credit them and link to the original with permission. [Say how stock photos are labeled, if you use any.]

AI. [Choose one and delete the other.] We do not use AI-generated images of nails. / AI-generated images are labeled “AI image” and are never used to show a real result.

[Say whether AI tools help with writing, for example drafting or grammar, and confirm that Brynn checks and edits every article.]

Money and independence

Some articles contain affiliate links. If you buy through them we may earn a commission, at no extra cost to you. Commissions never decide what we recommend, and brands do not approve or edit our articles.

[Gifted products and sponsored posts: say whether you accept them. If you do, they are labeled at the top of the article.]

Full details are on the Disclosure page.

Safety and health

If you have pain, swelling, signs of infection or an allergic reaction, stop using the product and see a doctor. More in our Terms of use.
