Disclosure Statement

Hi there! I'm Rachel Messick, a California-licensed manicurist, owner of Vacation Nail Shop and Vacation Nail Collective, brand educator, independent beauty blogger, and content creator.

Products and services featured on this website and my social media platforms (including Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Facebook, Pinterest, and other associated channels) may be purchased by me independently, provided for editorial consideration, gifted through PR or brand relationships, supplied as part of my work as an educator, or featured as part of a paid partnership or sponsorship.

I may maintain professional relationships with brands as an educator, affiliate partner, content creator, collaborator, or sponsored partner. Regardless of how a product or service was obtained, I only feature products and services that I use on myself or my clients and feel comfortable recommending to others. Receiving a product, service, compensation, affiliate relationship, or other consideration does not guarantee coverage, and all opinions expressed are my own unless otherwise stated.

Unless otherwise specified by the manufacturer, product recommendations are intended for professional use.

This website and my social media platforms may contain gifted products, sponsored content, affiliate links, affiliate discount codes, paid partnerships, or other forms of compensated collaboration. If you choose to make a purchase through an affiliate link or use an affiliate discount code, I may earn a commission at no additional cost to you.

As a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for creators to earn advertising fees by linking to Amazon.com and affiliated websites, I may earn commissions from qualifying purchases made through Amazon affiliate links.
