01 Oct

I am DYING over all the gorgeous fall nail art being created right now! I have to laugh because fall nails have come so far in the last ten years!

I was a PRO at embedding nail stickers in gel over glitter acrylic and gel tips! I am so happy we’ve transitioned to a much more stylish fall nail art and I wanted to share some …

14 Jan

As part of my New Year’s goals, I have been wanting to learn the reverse French technique for acrylic nails. It’s so much more effective in my opinion for several reasons:

Why the reverse French Method is amazing!

1. The quicker you apply pink to the nail bed after prepping the less lifting will occur.
2. You can create an extreme smile line with ease by tucking the pink down as far as you like on the sides.
3. When you apply the free edge color it doesn’t have to be perfect–you can file …
