When Abbie from @thegelcove signed up for The Business Edit, she was at the beginning of her nail journey, full of potential and looking for direction. With no previous experience in business ownership, she knew the smartest move was to learn from those who’ve already paved the way. And learn she did.  

From the moment she walked in, Abbie was surrounded by a room full of like-minded, inspiring techs, each with their own dreams of running a successful business.  

One standout moment? The workshop with Hol B Studio (@holbstudio on Instagram). “It completely shifted how I saw my page; it’s more than a feed, it’s my portfolio.” Then came the lightbulb moment with Bryony (@gelsbybry), who opened her eyes to the world of content creation, brand briefs and what it truly means to be a brand ambassador. "That’s when I knew I wanted to create content that mattered.”  

Since attending, Abbie’s business has seen a total transformation. She now charges her worth, sets clear boundaries, and has a clear roadmap for her future. Giorgia’s (@bygiorgia_) pricing workshop in particular had a huge impact: “I couldn’t believe how much I was underselling myself, it was a game-changer.”  

And the magic didn’t stop at the sessions. Abbie’s favourite part? Dinner at The Cliff, By DKollection, where the day ended with matching dainty bracelets for everyone. “It was such a thoughtful finishing touch, it felt like the start of something big.”  

Her top tips for anyone on the fence? “Do it. There’s nothing else like The Business Edit. I’ve taken away advice I still think about daily. Professional yet personal communication, investing in an accountant and having a strong image of yourself online. It’s all shaped how I show up.”
