Um, so… I can do nails I discovered tonight. I have never tried to use acrylics before but i have had my nails done for years by a lady who does them out of her house. I have always thought it was so awesome that she could stay home with her kids and make her own schedule. In the last two months I have been getting my nails done at a nail school down the road from my work, and pretty much interrogating the girl doing my nails on how it is to see if i want to do it. I was telling my beauty school graduate friend Kenzie about my plans to go and she just said to teach myself and save my $3000. She bought me some OPI acrylics and tonight, I thought I’d try it out to see how I did. I don’t know what it was; the mental preparation that went into watching students do my nails and try to mimick their moves in my head, or if I have exceptional hand-eye coordination, or beginners luck…but i thought i did really well! Yes I’m boasting but I am so proud of myself.
Here I would have put the tip a little further away, but it would not stay glued. i finally had to push it up so it covered more area. I think plastic works different than a natural nail, though.
I’m up for givin a few people a full set.. It’d be free of course.

Yeah, I did nails a couple of times back in the day(my own and mom’s)… I think our family just has a knack for picking up stuff like that. Once I see something done, I am pretty convinced I can do it too.

You are definitely like Jana in that area. I always remember her doing her own french manicure on her toes and it looking awesome. Then….I tried it. Not quite like your sister’s – she even did mine a time or two. I just stick to the salons because Jana doesn’t live close enough to me!!!
