I’ve been getting the question of “what’s next?” a lot lately. And the truth is that I have new ideas.
I haven’t missed a single competition in the United States for five years. Plus, I added international competitions and a couple of judging gigs to boot. In those five years, I’ve achieved the Nails Magazine Top 25 #1 competitor spot three years in row, the Nailpro Cup Championship for three years in a row, and a World Championship Title.
So I guess it’s about time to make this announcement. I only have one title left that I’m going to compete for and that is the 2011 World Acrylic Nail Championship in Dusseldorf.
That means that I’m not going to compete for the Cup or the Top 25 this year. But that doesn’t mean that I won’t be around. What I would like to do instead is share the knowledge that I’ve gained trough my competition career with other people that have the same passion for nail competitions and the nail industry as I do. I will make all the information available after the first of the year, so stay tuned...
