I’m going to become a nail tech at 55 & proud !

I did this set to celebrate getting accepted into nail school on a full scholarship & Im thankful to the most high - These are my attempt at hyper realistic natural looking nails done using @Jillnails nail extension gel in Natural & @saviland builder nail gel in clear - I absolutely love both products & will forever use them - the natural looks like they’re growing outta. my fingers IMO & the clear is sooo crystal clear ! I’m a happy lady tonight !

... Read moreDeciding to take on a new career at 55 can be daunting, but it can also be incredibly rewarding. Becoming a nail technician opens doors to creativity and self-expression. With the beauty industry continually evolving, there are endless styles and techniques to master, from traditional manicures to intricate nail art. Many older adults are pursuing careers in the beauty field, creating vibrant communities and inspiring stories. Embracing this change allows for personal growth and fulfillment. Engaging with clients can also be a delightful way to meet people from diverse backgrounds and share in their joy as they transform their nails. Furthermore, beauty school not only teaches technical skills but also fosters communication and customer service skills—essential traits for a successful nail technician. As technology in nail products advances, nail techs can experiment with innovative products and techniques. The art of nail design has become a form of artistic expression, with social media platforms showcasing impressive work from nail artists around the globe. Starting this new chapter in life offers a chance to learn not just about nails but also about oneself. So, if you're thinking about pursuing a late career path in beauty, just like me, know that it's never too late to follow your passion and embrace creativity. Your journey starts now!

Acrylic doesn’t harm natural nails NAILTECH DO!
If you are having a hard time retaining length with your natural nails either your not moisturizing your nails and cuticles enough so they are dry and brittle or it may be your nailtech filing your nails too much but either way it’s not the acrylic!!!! Lmk if you want tips on how to retain length ☺

YOUR SIGN TO GO TO A NAIL TECH!
