Unfortunately money was very tight and I had to go to one of the unknown schools in my area. At the time I felt like I learned a lot and I even passed the State Boards but looking at everything your learning has got me questioning if I learned enough. Maybe you could post some videos of you teaching what you learned in school?Jamie C.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5116897484403806316.post-21931054303805302812015-02-06T15:43:10.238-07:002015-02-06T15:43:10.238-07:00This is so interesting Sarah.

I have been quite passionate about nails for about 7 years. Have never taken the plunge and gone back to school for retraining. Can do basic and spa manicures/pedicures. Since finding your webpage I have been teaching myself to do nail art. Thanks to your great tutorials. I will definitely look in to going back to school as I want to learn more!!Michie Menoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5116897484403806316.post-54986155996900477192015-02-02T18:26:09.564-07:002015-02-02T18:26:09.564-07:00I can't wait ti share my stories come MarchI can't wait ti share my stories come Marchmara pagenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5116897484403806316.post-16859756669456317892015-02-01T14:39:41.560-07:002015-02-01T14:39:41.560-07:00Thanks for the FAQ about photographing nails!

So it was good to see you can get faster results by being confident and REALLY going for it, but knowing you still won't hurt the client.Sarahhttp://www.chalkboardnails.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5116897484403806316.post-47421732047517286542015-02-01T11:52:58.295-07:002015-02-01T11:52:58.295-07:00Thanks Lisa!Thanks Lisa!Sarahhttp://www.chalkboardnails.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5116897484403806316.post-13826940660194592962015-01-31T23:37:45.693-07:002015-01-31T23:37:45.693-07:00I'm loving these updates!

Just a funny: I was reading your post and then looked at the picture with the tips attached. I thought, "Wow, I wonder who the person is she was lucky enough to get to put tips on. Her nails are just lovely, and so well-shaped." It honestly wasn't until I realized the fingers attached to those beautiful nails looked so smooth and wrinkle-free, almost as if her skin was...gosh darn it!!!...that's the fake practice hand! I had JUST read that's what you practiced your tips on but I'm apparently a quick forgetter. For a couple of minutes there, I was quite a fan of how well that lady took care of her skin and nails.
