Ever since I can remember I have loved to paint my nails. And because I'm crafty, I always wanted to try something new. After I graduated and after a year of pointless college I figured I would do something I loved... nails!!! So I signed up to get my nail tech certificate. I also got my pedicure tech certificate. This was my calling... or so I thought. About 2 manicures and 1 pedicure later I realized I had it all wrong. I liked doing MY nails... not other people's. The thing I loved became something I dreaded, so I had to stop. I learned lots of skills and now I can buy all of my nail supplies at supply stores.
A few years ago I discovered Shellac. Oh my god, I couldn't believe my eyes. A nail polish that wears like gel? AND it can be removed by soaking in acetone... AND it doesn't ruin your nails. So naturally... I had to have it all. I am an addict. I can't go in the beauty supply store without buying a new color.
Then, last summer a very good friend of mine started doing nails. And her little business took off. She built a little spa in her house and has been booked like crazy. She definitely has skills. Not to mention lots of patience. She won't let you leave unless she is completely satisfied with how your nails look. So I've been fortunate to have the coolest nails ever!!
Last month someone told me about Jamberry. WHAT? A nail sticker you warm up and it bonds to your nails? What will they come up with next? So naturally I had to buy some. I bought the wackiest, most intricate design I could find. Evening Aztec

So, I took them to my girlfriend and asked her to work her magic. And of course, she did.
Don't they look cool? But after a couple weeks... the Jamberry nails started lifting, so I picked them off and added some Gelish. Something to hold me over until my next nail appointment. Cute Hey?
