Hey Y'all!
Today I have a special post!
I've officially been workin at my salon as a nail tech for 1 year today!
I started work on February 1st of 2014 at my wonderful shop!
It's been a crazy year and things have changed and grown but it's been great!
I can't believe I'm 1 year into my career!
Of course I had to do my nails for the occasion!
I used: Sephora Formula X "Eureka" pink, Loreal "Masked Affair," Salon Perfect "Oil Slick" and OPI "DS Coronation." I did a little stampin and added "I Do Nails."
Things have definitely changed since day 1.
I was scared and nervous and never felt I really fit into my shop, but over the year that's all changed. I've gained skills, comfort, clients and most importantly confidence!
If you asked me 3 years ago I never in a million years would've been able to tell you that I would one day be a nail tech and that it would be my absolute passion! I was a musical theater junkie and really thought one day I'd be on Broadway, but 3 years ago that all changed when I started doin my own nails. I joined this crazy thing called Instagram and slowly fell in love with this polish world! Then a year and a half ago I went to school to get my nail license and this whole crazy passion exploded! I've been in Nail it Magazine a few times, I receive products for review and am gainin new wonderful clients everyday! I can't believe any of this is happenin to me! I get to do nails literally everyday of my life! You'd think I might get sick of it, but it's just made my passion grow beyond my wildest dreams! I think what makes it truly amazin is that I already had the nail polish passion for my own nails before I decided to do others. So many nail techs I've seen or talked to only do it because they have to or are good at it and need money, but I do it purely because I love it!
It's been a crazy, fun, excitin, terrifyin, anxiety ridden, amazin year!
Here's some of my favorite moments or things from this last year:
Flowers from my first client on my first day!
Reupholsterin my new desk chair!
I loved the day I added this smile rock into our plant outside our front door!
Movin my station to it's new spot in the shop was so much fun and I love it more!
Makin my client bulletin board has been one of my favorite things.
Makin my own sugar scrub for pedicures is a real treat!
Takin my Christmas card photo at the shop was so special!
Gettin a free shutterfly calendar with all my nails as the pics and puttin it up at the shop is so fun!
Here's a few of my favorite clients:
My mom's valentine nails I did on my first day.
Dia De Los Muertos
My first bridal pedi! Somethin blue!
Fun Vegas Pedi!
I loved this bright orange floral set!
Watermarblin on my best friend Anatali was super fun! And many mani pedi's on her little sister.
Doin a fullset of purple flakies on my bestie Sarah, about a year after the first time I guinea pigged on her in school!
and now for more pics of my nails today:
I hope y'all enjoyed this post! A little sneak peek into my life.
I am so thankful and grateful for everythin God has blessed me with this last year and can't wait to look back next year and see what it has brought! Also thank you to everyone who's helped me this year, my clients, friends, family and company's that have entrusted me with reviewin your products and all my followers here on my social medias! I appreciate everythin y'all have done for me!
