I love days off…

Yes, it’s true, I love my days off. Is this bad to admit? Being that this is a site dedicated to my career? What do you think?

In case you were wondering what I do on my days off, I will give you a brief run down. I always set my alarm clock for 5:30 AM the night before to get in an early morning workout. These last few weeks, I have been pressing the snooze button alot (for some reason I have no ambition to workout-maybe it’s because I have …

Another Great Day at Hot Nails

Blueberry Slush acrylic nails

It is my goal as a new nail tech to always push myself to stay busy with any task and learn something new every day. I went in to work today around Noon because my little boy has been sick and I wanted to stay home with him all morning. We had a great morning spending time together (and watching Spongebob…) and then I left for work right around the time he was getting ready for a nap.

I didn’t have any appointments when I got to work, so I set …

What do you look for in a Nail Tech?

Shocking pink gel toes

I am just curious…what characteristics do you look for in a nail tech, or any beauty professional for that matter? What is it about that person that will make you feel at ease through your appointment and make you want to come back in a few weeks to see them again?

Vicky, the owner of Hot Nails, is one of the nicest people I have ever met. She’s been doing nails a long time, and has clients who have been coming to her for that long (16+years!) …

How do you like your nails?

I want to know how you like your nails! This is of course the greatest, philosophical debate of our time, and a topic that I am very passionate about. So please, leave a response and let me know your favorite form of nail enhancement-gel, acrylic, or au natural.

And I will be the first to answer my own question! I love the “magazine” natural look, but I am prone to HORRIBLE hang nails, so I have found that a short acrylic nail works best for me. Every once in a …

I couldn’t resist…

Onyx gel toe nails with gold studs

Posting a pic of my new gel toes. The very talented (and fellow student) Stefanie Durham applied these on my tootsies using Onyx glitter over Acryhard gel. We then applied these cute little gold studs in a row across my big toe. I love them! I can’t wait to make my digits match! Of course I will be posting a pic soon!

Notice anything different?

(keep reading for my very first promotion…)

Oh boy oh boy am I excited about my new website!!! My husband Jason, who is a web design and development guru, built me this new site (when he had a window of opportunity in between other jobs…) and did I mention how excited I am about my beautiful new website?!?

I know, I know, it doesn’t look like much right at this very moment, but keep checking back, and before you know it, my beautiful new site will be loaded with beautiful new …

I Passed!!

Whohoo! I passed my practical exam for my nail license!  I took it at 1:00 on February 15th (President’s Day) and was out the door at about 3:00. The two most stressful hours of my life, but that means that I am really, really close to becoming a licensed nail tech in the great state of Utah. I only need to take my written exam now and I will be done! The exam went really well, but as I mentioned, I was really stressed. And really, really glad it is …

Holy Cow!!!

I only have 4 official days of Nail Technology School left!!! I am super excited, BUT, that means I have to take the State Board test, which I am dreading  boo. The testing center has been pretty darn strict lately. But once I pass, I am going to be an official Nail Tech! I will continue to stay at Hot Nails in Washington, a salon I absolutely adore. Hot Nails is committed to providing the highest quality services along with the highest levels of sanitation. I am going to post …
