Does speed matter?

I just read a blog on Nails Magazine about some nail techs that can do three services in the amount of time it takes me to do one. They were saying they can do a full set of gel polish in 20 minutes, with removal. I’ve taken classes from this company before and speed seems to be a focus for them….

I haven’t been in the business nearly as long as these people have, but a common complaint with my clients is that they felt like other nail techs rushed through …

Happy New Year’s!!!!

I totally forgot to wish everyone a happy new years! So this is a week late, but better late than never right?!?!? I would have to say 2012 is off to a great start too! The weather has been absolutely beautiful in St. George—60 degrees out today! Of course I’m sure we will get a cold spell in no time but I’m gonna enjoy this burst of sunshine while I can!

It seems like every other client is taking an exotic vacation this month or next—-alot of people are heading to …

I LOVE Shellac!

Here is a pic of my very own set of Shellac nails! The color is Tutti Frutti, my personal favorite so far, but I love all of them! Negligee actually seems to be the most popular so far–it’s a beautiful sheer neutral pink color. Everyone that has tried Shellac has been extremely pleased so far.

Caribbean Toes

I want to sink my toes into a tropical, white sand beach so bad it hurts! In case you can’t tell, I am in love with the turquoise blue waters of the tropics. My husband and I went to the Riviera Maya about five years ago–specifically a little town called Akumal–and I have been dreaming of going back ever since. Although I would be ecstatic to return to Akumal, there are hundreds of destinations I want to experience! St. John’s, USVI (my brother and his wife are leaving for St. …

Happy Late Easter!

This has been one crazy Spring! It was windy this morning and raining cats and dogs tonight! Hopefully April showers will definitely be bringing May flowers! I have been busy at work–hooray! I have been taking three days off, but am going to start working five days after this week. I am super excited for the IBF show in Vegas at the end of this month, so I need to work a little harder to pay for the trip. Not much else is going on in our lives. …

Spring toes!

Sorry I have been such a slacker! I need to get back on track with my posts, which I will, but for now I am going to post my new toes I did this past week. I LOVE doing toes! I love hands too, but for some reason I feel a lot more comfy with toes (maybe it’s because you can’t hold them five inches from your face and notice every little detail…hmm) These turned out really cute though–we sort of got into the wild stripes. Everyone seems to love …
