Write for Us Nails: Nails Blog Guest Post Guidelines

Where does a nail tech send a post? Searching nails write for us mostly turns up salon pages and social posts, and very few editors who say what they'd take from a nail technician. That's a shame, because the people doing sets all day know things no product page tells you: how long a design takes, why one client's gel lifts and another's doesn't, what a booking policy does to a quiet Tuesday. That's the knowledge I want on this blog.

A lot of my readers are solo business owners, and nail techs fit right in: they're running bookings, social media and the chair at the same time. They read my guides on becoming a nail technician and nail salon software, and they'll want a nails post that helps either the work on the desk or the business around it.

60-second nails guest post check

A strong submission can answer yes to all five points:

• Do you work as a nail technician or run a nail studio
• Have you avoided medical or treatment claims about nails or skin
• Is any product mentioned there because you use it, not because a brand asked
• Does the first paragraph tell a tech or client something useful
• Have you shown or described the technique step by step

Read the guidelines and submit your guest post.

What we publish

• Seasonal nail art ideas and how long they take
• Gel, acrylic and regular polish compared for clients
• Setting up as a nail technician
• The tools and kit a new tech needs first
• Looking after natural nails between appointments
• Booking systems that cut no shows in a studio
• Photographing nail sets for social media
• Building a loyal client base as a solo tech

If your post could be published on any nails site with the logo swapped, it is not for us.

What we look for in nails posts

If your nails pitch matches a row's middle column, send it; if it sounds like the last column, rethink it.

Topic	What gets accepted	What gets declined
Nail art	Designs you've created, with time and steps	Trend lists pulled from social media
Products and kit	Tools you use daily and why	Polish promotion written by a brand
Gel and acrylic	Comparing systems from the tech's chair	Medical or treatment claims
Studio business	Bookings, no shows and building regulars	A promo for your own salon
Client care	Looking after natural nails between visits	Unsourced safety claims

What we don't accept

• Medical nail treatment claims
• Brand written polish promotion
• General beauty roundups with no nail focus
• Safety claims about products with no source
• Work you've published elsewhere before

What you get

• Your article in front of an engaged audience of business owners, marketers and founders
• One relevant, contextual link back to your own site
• A byline and the credibility of an established, high-traffic blog
• Editorial help to make the piece as strong as it can be before it goes live

How to submit

Send your pitch or draft through the contact form. Include the topic, the one specific problem the post solves, and a line on your first-hand experience with it. One idea per pitch works best. You will hear back on whether it is a fit before you write the full draft.

What a strong nails pitch looks like

A weak pitch says "I want to write about the top nail trends everyone is wearing." A strong one says "I've run a home nail studio for years, and I want to show how I plan a seasonal design menu, how long each set takes me, and the booking rule that stopped my last minute cancellations." One is a brochure. The other is worth reading.

The angles that get accepted fastest

• Designing a seasonal menu clients will book
• Gel or acrylic, and talking clients through the choice
• Kit a new nail tech can wait to buy
• Photos that show a set at its best
• Booking rules that protect a solo studio's week
• Natural nail care between visits, from the tech's side
• Leaving a salon chair to open your own studio
• Consultations that prevent awkward results

Frequently asked questions

Does Lilach Bullock accept nails guest posts?

Yes. Nails guest posts are welcome from nail technicians and studio owners. We publish technique, nail art, kit and studio business advice, and decline medical claims, unsourced safety claims and brand written promotion.

What nails topics do you accept?

Nail art, gel and acrylic systems, kit for new techs, natural nail care between appointments, booking systems and setting up as a nail technician. Practical and from the chair is the test.

Do you accept beauty or skincare guest posts too?

Yes, but makeup pitches suit the beauty page and skin pitches suit the skincare page. This page stays with nails and nail technicians. One editor reads every pitch, so choose the page that fits.

How long should a guest post be?

Most accepted posts run between 1,200 and 2,000 words. Length matters less than usefulness: a tight 1,200 word post with one clear lesson beats a 3,000 word overview every time. Use short paragraphs, clear subheadings and at least one real example.

Can I include a link back to my own site?

One contextual link back to your own site is fine when it is relevant and helps the reader. Posts written purely to build a backlink with no real value for the reader are not published.

Do you accept previously published content?

No. Every submission must be original and not published anywhere else first, including your own blog, Medium, LinkedIn or a guest slot on another site. Republished or lightly reworded content gets declined, and we check before anything goes live.

Can I use AI tools to help write my guest post?

You can use AI to help with research or tidying your draft, but the experience, examples and opinions must be yours. Posts that read like generic AI output, with no first-hand detail, are declined.

Do you accept sponsored or commercial partnerships?

Commercial and partnership enquiries are handled separately from editorial guest posts. If you are a brand or agency wanting to work together rather than pitch an article, say so in the contact form and you will get the right details back.

How long does a decision take?

We aim to come back to you within a few working days. If the pitch is specific and clearly written, with the result in the first line, the decision is much faster.

Do you edit guest posts before they go live?

Yes. Every accepted post gets an editorial pass for clarity, structure and accuracy, and you may be asked for an extra example or a missing number. The aim is to make your piece as useful as it can be, not to change your voice.

Can I pitch more than one idea?

Yes, but send them one at a time or as a short numbered list with one line each. The strongest pitch goes first, and a single clear idea with a real result almost always beats several vague ones.

How do I submit a nails guest post?

Send your pitch through the contact form with the topic, the specific result or lesson you will cover, and a line on your own experience doing nails for clients or running a nail studio. One idea per pitch works best, and you will hear back before you write the full draft.
