It’s a rainy day here in Dallas Texas so thought I’d try something new!

So here are some pictures of nails I did, required for school

Just wanted to share a photo of @Iris Garcia & I meeting in person today at the Chicago Nail Connect!! 🥰🥰 She’s a super cool gal, and a fun time was had 💜 My personal fav moments (outside of getting to hang with Iris 💕), were meeting Mariko Tanabe and getting to scope out (and possibly buy too much 😅) of the launch of her line Hanah (hana is flower in Japanese 🥰) and hearing Eunice Park from Apres speak! Eunice mentioned 3 things to help grow your career (which, I nerdily wrote down 🤓) which are: 1. Find your moat (aka what separates you/makes you distinct from everyone else) 2. Say yes first (which I interpreted as always keep a beginner mindset and try the new things—she compared it to those of us who are old enough to remember the switch from MySpace to Facebook 😂) 3. Never forget you’re the King/Queen of adaptation

Voting is officially OPEN 🤍 My Entry is #1018 Link: https://www.globalnaildesignawards.com.au/peopleschoice 4 years ago, I never thought I’d be doing nails. 3 years ago, I never thought I’d open my doors full-time. 2 years ago, I never thought I’d enter my first nail competition. And 4 months ago, I started creating my competition pieces. It’s honestly a little surreal seeing these pieces finished and officially entered. Competitors were encouraged to create a design that sits somewhere between wearable and editorial — and I had so much fun pushing my creativity and seeing where I could take this concept.
