The Beauty Edit Podcast

Welcome to the beauty edit podcast, a podcast solely dedicated to the nail and beauty industry. For todays behind the brand episode we are talking to Katie Masters, the sole creator of Nail Thoughts all the way in Santa Monica, California. As admirers of Katie’s through various social media channels such as Instagram and Tik Tok we felt it was about time we found out more about her incredible brand and how she has been keeping busy during lockdowns. We chat about the differences between the UK and the USA when it comes to beauty qualifications and find out how Nail Thoughts began. Katie is a true inspiration and shares with us how she has achieved her goals whilst remaining humble and honest. Not only has Katie built up a busy diary of clients from scratch, but she now creates online classes for other technicians and has recently launched her first collaboration with Kokoist. We cannot wait to see what the future holds for Katie but in the mean time we hope you enjoy this episode.

In todays behind the brand episode we sit down and chat with Shantelle Booysen, the founder of Elim, a luxury medical manicure and pedicure range. Listen in to find out how a holiday to Thailand and a personal need for a solution to dry, cracked heels lead to the start of Elim. From tiny steps to great strides, Shantelle’s passion and enthusiasm for the industry has been clear to see throughout her journey. On a more personal note, we discovered the Elim MediHeel range last year through RE:New beauty here in the uk. After trialing the products between lockdowns at Ever Pretty Beauty Studio, we made the easy decision to switch out our current range for the incredible Elim products. The results we achieved with the Elim products were far better and longer lasting. We are now able to treat thick, hard calluses with ease and the mediheel peel eliminated the need for exhaustive wrasping. We are proud to announce that we are now Elim Mentors, if you have any questions regarding Elim and are thinking of training, please drop us a dm on Instagram @thebeautyeditpodcast or @everprettybeautystudio Social Media Links: The Beauty Edit Podcast Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/thebeautyeditpodcast/ The Beauty Edit Facebook Group - https://www.facebook.com/groups/631161774134896/?ref=share Our salon, Ever Pretty Beauty Studio Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/everprettybeautystudio Elim UK Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/elim_uk/?hl=en -  RE:NEW Beauty Website - https://www.renewbeauty.co.uk
