3D Cable Knit Sweater Nail Art Tutorial

Sculpted Acrylic Nails

I began forming Katie’s nail beds out with a short coffin shaped sculpted acrylic nail with Creative Nail Design Retention Acrylic. I need to get better at applying my forms and working with a dryer bead…but I love sculpting more so than using tips these days. Tips take so long to glue on and then you have to go back and file and shape and it’s just so messy and takes so much longer than simply attaching a form and applying the acrylic right away! It takes …

Christmas Nail Art! And a recap of my first week back to work!

Oh my goodness do I love Christmas nails! I’m sad I didn’t go back to work sooner just so I could do more Christmas nail art. I keep debating about ordering some cute Christmas art supplies but by the time it gets here I feel like Christmas is going to be over. 🙁 Thank goodness for Amazon Prime right!?!?

I’ve been pretty busy at work this week…my first official week back since I left almost three years ago. And I am so grateful for everyone who gives me business! I seriously …

Young Nails Sculpted Gel Nails

I did these nails for my sister the day before Thanksgiving. She came to town with her cute kids and crashed at our house. I did her little girls nails for her birthday and then decided I’d better practice sculpting a full set since I’m going back to the salon. 

I don’t do a lot of hard gel at home, mostly gel polish on natural nails. But I know I’ll get a lot of hard gel clients when I go back to work. Hard gel is so much more durable than …

Hellllllllo! I know, I know, I am the worst blogger ever. But I want to be better at that. So here I am again!

I wanted to do a post and just put the word out there that I am available for private nail parties in the St. George/Washington County area. I have a few criteria that has to be met and may need to make a few changes as time goes on.

Thank you!

I love New Years! I usually don’t set resolutions but this year I did…and one of them is to put some work into my blog! Because I have been slightly absent lately in case you didn’t notice! Honestly, I’m thrilled I remembered my login information!

On top of updating my blog, my other resolutions are to drink more water, sign my 8 year old up for music lessons, and train for a half marathon. What about you? Do you believe in resolutions? If so, what do you want to accomplish this …

Just a little info, Sally seems to carry the largest selection of gel polish out of all the beauty suppliers in town and has the largest nail art section too. I saw China Glaze Gelaze, …
