Select a template that matches the mood or theme of your community for the day. Post it in your group or page with a clear call to action, inviting everyone to reply with just one word. Pin or highlight popular responses to encourage further participation. Rotate topics frequently to keep things fresh and consider following up with a discussion thread about the most popular or surprising answers.
On all platforms, keep your post concise and visually clear. Use emojis or simple formatting to highlight the challenge. Tag or mention members occasionally to draw attention, but avoid spamming. Use pinned posts or stories for extra visibility on platforms that support them. Always monitor responses to keep the vibe positive and inclusive.
To keep your community engaged and current, incorporate trending nail art terms as prompts, such as ‘chrome’, ‘aura’, ‘syrup’, ‘cat-eye’, or ‘ombré’. These words encourage members to share their interpretations, favorite looks, or product recommendations related to the trend, sparking more targeted and passionate conversations.
When using technical terms as prompts, provide a brief definition or visual inspiration in your post to ensure beginners feel included, while still challenging advanced members. For example, a prompt like 'marbling' could be accompanied by a sample photo or a short description, encouraging everyone to participate regardless of skill level.
Mixing both specific product prompts and broader themes can maximize participation. Highly specific terms like ‘stamping’ draw out product enthusiasts and professionals, while broader themes like ‘glitter’ invite a wide range of responses from all community members—allowing everyone to join in regardless of their toolkit.
If using branded terminology, clarify that the challenge is about creative inspiration, not brand loyalty. Invite members to share looks or experiences with similar products regardless of brand, and remind the community that respectful discussion is encouraged. Consider alternating between branded and non-branded prompts to keep things inclusive.
Encourage photo replies by explicitly requesting members to share images of their own nail designs related to the prompt, e.g., 'Show us your best ‘matte’ look!' You can also run occasional themed contests or spotlights for photo submissions, which increases visual participation—especially important in the visually-driven nail art community.
Monitor which prompts receive the most engagement and note popular techniques, styles, or products discussed. Use this data to plan tutorials, livestreams, or challenges focused on those high-interest topics. For example, if 'foils' gets lots of creative responses, consider hosting a foil nail art week or a how-to session for beginners.
