We love this quote on how one nail tech sells her nail art to clients.

"I don’t feel comfortable taking the shy client out of her comfort zone, any more than she wants to go outside it. So I tell the client that I have something to show her, and that if she doesn’t like it, I can wipe it off. Before doing a French fill, I’ll buff one finger only, then dip a Be Creative Nail Art Pen into white paint and draw a rose bud on her French tip in about two minutes. She looks at her nail, then looks at me. She can’t believe she likes nail art! Woot! Woot! The art train has left the station." — Tess Walters, owner, Puttin On the Nails (www.puttinonthenails.com)
