I am sitting out in my backyard right now watching my son make a muddy mess with the hose and his dirt pile and thinking about how great life is! The weather is perfect this time of year. In fact, I have officially decided that Fall is my favorite time of year. I might change my mind when Spring rolls into town, but for now, I love the cool mornings and evenings and ripe pomegranates and pumpkin patches and Halloween decorations the best! I had a great week at the …

I feel compelled to write about what a miraculous world we live in….

I have come to learn that my career is more than just making a person feel good about the appearance of their hands and feet. Although I love this aspect of it and am passionate about all aspects of the beauty industry, what I have come to realize I love the most about my job is all the beautiful people I encounter along the way. And better yet, I hear the most amazing, miraculous stories about their lives.

Spider toes

I am having so much fun with Halloween and Fall! And it’s still almost a month away! I did a set of gel/acrylic nails for my lovely client LaVonn last week–we were aiming for candy corn. See if you can spot the witch on her broomstick! My amazing sister-in-law Jill opted for Halloween gel toes. We decided on a bright orange french tip with Vegas Nights Gelish sparkles and a teeny weeny spider web to top it off 🙂  Soon to be Mom Teva came in a …

Gelish colored gel polish-black shadow with mint icing

I love my new Gelish colored gel polishes! I only have three colors right now but have found a distributor that will ship to me who has all the colors, so I will be ordering more soon!

Gelish is almost identical to Shellac. It’s a simple to use gel polish that goes on like regular polish, dries instantly (due to curing in a UV light), and lasts for weeks. However, Gelish seems to possibly be slightly more resilient than Shellac. It seems …

I am so excited to offer Nail Harmony’s Gelish colored gel nail polish products! I have a limited color selection at the moment, but plan on increasing my collection periodically. I currently am offering three super trendy, chic colors-Black Shadow (black), Starburst (dark purple), and Mint Icing (a pretty metallic jade color). You can see the colors on the chart below, and if you have any special requests, send them my way. I will do my best to have them for you if you give me advance notice. Product application …

One of the biggest problems I have encountered since I’ve become a nail tech is dry, callused feet. A lot of people have come to the conclusion that there is nothing to be done for their problem feet. However, I LOVE working on “bad” feet! And I guarantee you will love the results after an hour in my pedicure chair! Or else your pedicure is free! In fact, mention this post and get my Spa Pedicure, normally priced at $35, for $25! Normally a pedicure takes me about an hour, …

I’ve done a few new gel toes that I needed to add to my website because they turned out sooo cute!

Neon pink gel toes with tulle and zebra stripes

Also, I needed to let everyone know my schedule is changing because my husband is starting a new full time job. Very good news for our family, and I hope I will still be able to accomodate all of my wonderful clients. I am going to be working Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 8:30 am to 12:30 pm. I found …

So there has been a Shellac craze at the salon lately! And it’s been wonderful! I’ve met a lot of great new people–I only wish I could hear how their Shellac story is going–so….if you’ve tried Shellac (or other gel polishes for that matter,) please post a comment about your experiences! I would love to hear what you think about this amazing product! I myself have had a combo of Tropix and Hot Chilli’s Shellac on for a week and it still is going strong and beautiful–I absolutely LOVE it! …

I am super excited about all my new gel polish colors! I have seven new OPI colors, six new Creative Nail Design colors, and about twenty Nailite colors! (Does it sound like I am a little addicted?) I LOVE gel polishes! I have been wearing it on my own hands and feet and the results are outstanding! My toes always stay beautiful for at least six weeks, and my nails get at least two weeks wear time before I am ready for a new color. I have a lovely client, …

Whew! I am still recovering from my very busy day today. I had some super fun clients from all over the country and it was great meeting everyone and beautifying their hands and feet! I got a chance to perform my new waterless manicure and the results were exactly what I was looking for. Her skin was glowing by the time she was done! (p.s. It’s not entirely waterless–I have you wash your hands at the sink first and then remove the illuminating mask with hot, wet towels….)

I am looking …
