I’m practicing box stuffing lol. I had a tooth pulled today and I was all laid up in bed sleeping…. I sat STRAIGHT UP out of bed and remembered that Erin had a box. (She’s just starting nails) I ran to the warehouse, it was already shipped. I dug it out of a tote and then I threw her package into a much larger box and stuffed it. MuuuuaaahHahahaa. I’m going to pick three winners from our challenge and I will announce them this evening. I love you guys so much. Keep up the hard work. I’m so proud of our community.

It finally happened a client came to my home studio and she was awesome and was thrilled with my work 😁 💅 💜 let me know what you think any criticism is fine 🤔

I have loved every moment of wearing this peacock chrome mani! As I’m relatively new to using & wearing chrome, I’ve been exploring to see what I like in addition to a chrome finish, so I played a little more here with texture and art on top after wearing just the chrome + peacock feather for most of the week. On my index finger: I played with a cross-hatch design with polish (a teal crelly and a holo glitter + topcoat) and clear puffy gel on top. The texture got lost a little bit because I worked the puffy gel too thin, so it was a good learning experience. On my middle finger: I used a clear base gel to bloom a teal crelly gel into a flower, added a few tiny dots of holo glitter to the middle and after topcoat, added a few dots of puffy gel to bring out the holo glitter just a bit more. I personally adore the full shine of this peacock chrome and this is an interesting way to soften it just a bit - a hidden treasure! On my ring finger: I used clear puffy gel on top of the gold chrome gel to see if it would bring that out even more, and I think it did! It was also the first thing I tried, and I wondered how thin I’d be able to lay down this gel - very thin, assuming I use a thin liner brush. On my pinky: I used puffy gel to add squiggles, used a white/silver chrome on top, then added topcoat to seal the chrome. It’s hard to see the detail in this photo but I love the contrasting, textured chrome on mirror chrome! Most of the time I end up playing with my mani design as I wear it to better understand possibilities and what I personally like to wear. It’s been a fun way to keep exploring ♥️

(omg hehehe I cussed in a HEADLINE lol not sorry) The SPIDERS IN THE PUMPKIN PATCH challenge is officially CLOSED, and I need you to understand something: YOU SHOWED UP. Like… REALLY showed up. 😭 I have been watching these entries come in and there are SO MANY of you who took the theme, interpreted it in your own completely different way, practiced something new, pushed yourselves creatively, and actually PUT YOUR WORK OUT THERE. And THAT is what this challenge was really about. I do not want to casually toss a winner into the feed and move on. We are making a BIG DEAL out of this. I need the whole weekend to absorb it all. I'm going to put it on my TV in my house and admire it all like an art gallery! I'll share what I create! I think I'll cry thinking about all of the beautiful energy that went into creating these, and then where that deposit into yourself and your artistry will take you in the future. It really is exciting to think about the possibilities. In the meantime: IF YOU ENTERED, COMMENT BELOW AND SAY “I DID IT.” Or you can drop your favorite cuss word, OMG just kidding. I want to see exactly how many of you participated because this challenge absolutely blew me away. And if this was your first Nail Skool challenge? (or challenge with me) I hope you realize you just became part of something we are going to do again and again and again. 🥹🕷️🎃 You made Nail Skool feel like a real freaking SKOOL this month. Thank you for playing with me. ❤️
