FolioNails is the business app built exclusively for nail technicians. Whether you do gel, acrylics, dip, or nail art, everything you need to run your nail business professionally is right here — your portfolio, your clients, your formulas, your income, and your bookings, all in one place. Your portfolio is your business card. FolioNails lets you build a stunning before and after portfolio from every set you create. Add nail shape tags, length tags, and design styles so clients can browse your work by exactly what they want. Share individual transformations as beautifully branded cards on Instagram and TikTok, or generate a full PDF lookbook to send to potential clients. Caption Studio writes ready to post captions for you so you spend less time thinking and more time doing nails. The Formula Vault means you will never forget a colour combination again. Log every detail of every set including base colour, top coat, nail brand, prep, cure time, and removal method. When a client comes back six weeks later asking for the same look, you can pull it up in seconds. Formulas are linked directly to your client cards so the information is always where you need it. Client Cards keep your entire client history organised without you having to think about it. Every visit, every payment, every formula, every photo is logged under the right client automatically. You can take an avatar photo straight from the app, search your client list instantly, and see at a glance who is due for a rebook. Send a personalised rebook message by SMS with one tap. The Booking Link feature gives you a professional booking page you can share anywhere. When a new client finds you on Instagram or TikTok, they can request an appointment directly through your personal FolioNails booking page. You see the request, check your schedule, and accept or suggest a new time — all without leaving the app. Track your income effortlessly with the Finance tab.
