My Nails Journey

My little nail journey ๐Ÿ’…โœจ Iโ€™ve been doing my own nails since I was 15 โ€” back when it was Dollar Tree polish and those $10 acrylic kits I had no clue how to use ๐Ÿ˜…

By 17, I took my first real nail class โ€” I was the youngest one there and Iโ€™ll never forget how the instructor thought I already had experience when she saw my work ๐Ÿค

I always dreamed of starting my own nail business, but life, space, and timing didnโ€™t line upโ€ฆ so now, itโ€™s become my favorite way to relax, recharge, and connect with myself.

Self care, creativity, and a reminder that glow-ups take time โœจ

... Read moreMy nails journey began at the age of 15, armed with Dollar Tree polish and a $10 acrylic kit. What started as a budget-friendly experience blossomed into a passionate hobby that eventually led me to pursue professional training. I vividly remember the thrill of my first nail class at 17; despite being the youngest, the instructor mistook my growing skills for experience. This motivated me to refine my technique through constant practice and countless YouTube tutorials. Each week, I looked forward to experimenting with different designs, especially after my mom gifted me a nail desk and quality gel polishes, which fueled my creativity further. The turning point came when I completed my first professional nail class, where I learned valuable skills and received expert feedback, empowering me to envision my own nail business. Although life didn't align perfectly for that dream yet, my 'nail therapy' has become an essential part of my self-care routine. I now understand how the journey of nail art reflects personal growth, patience, and the importance of self-expression. Whether it's a simple manicure or an intricate design, each nail set is a reminder that passion and perseverance create beautiful outcomes over time.

The answer is yes, 100% I have always been a nail/cuticle biterโ€ฆit seemed as if nothing helped: Regular gel polish chipped too easy and acrylic was bad for my skin and nails. Hard gel may be pricey at first but it is so worth it in the long run. The first time I got it my nails were so brittle and
