Products and how much stock?

[Aimee Kimbigelis]

hey I’m a new nail technician wanting to start my own mobile business, can anyone tell me how much stock is recommended to start out with, for example how many colour polishes etc? X

If you are starting from scratch then I would suggest you get 12 colours to start with, then every month get about 4 more. It's suprising how your collection grows then!

I started with the left overs in my training kit, and 6 new colours. I asked S2 for the top 10 sellers at that time and got the most I could afford plus dehydrator, remover and spare top and base coats.

Each month I added to my collection with my profits. No profit, no spend. Extra profit, extra spends.

Thank you for getting back to me! Think I’ll start with about 15 and just build it up from profits! Xx

I started with 4 shellac colours, lol.

I went with a pink (sure it was gotcha), French white and 'pink and.... silver chrome because it was really cool! Lol.

I wouldn't recommend the silver if I were starting again, but I got iced cappuccino (sadly no longer available) as I could use it on its own, over the French and also over the pink for another colour. So I had 6 colours for my four bottles.

I would recommend a light pink, a brighter pink, red (hollywood), a dark (dark lava for me), a purple and field fox as an absolute minimum. Also a French pink and white - but I think I've only done one French in the past year.

Then, as trinity and CFBS say, but more colours in your good months.
