How to Start a Tooth Gem Business From Anywhere in the World (Budget Friendly & No Experience)

Ready to build your dream business? Here's how I went from barely any savings and no experience to launching ICYBAD — and how you can do it too, no matter where you live 🌍💎

My Story (How ICYBAD Started)

I didn’t have a business degree, a huge budget, or even a plan — just a spark of inspiration and a love for all things shiny. I started small, practiced on friends, and slowly built a brand that now helps others do the same.

What You Need to Start

  • A basic starter kit (I sell one!)

  • A pro tooth gem adhesive

  • UV light & gems

  • A phone for content & bookings

  • A little bit of confidence 😎

Cost Breakdown (Start on a Budget) You don’t need $1000's to begin:

  • Business Kit: $425 AUD

  • Or Kit + Course + certification: $750 AUD 

  • Canva: It's free and you can design anything for your business on there!

  • Instagram & TikTok: FREE marketing power 💥

Mistakes to Avoid

  • Skipping consent forms (get your legal stuff right!)

  • Not practicing before going live

  • Undervaluing your services

  • Trying to copy everyone else instead of finding your vibe
