I’ve been a horrible blogger and I can’t apologize enough. Feels like I’ve been going 100 mph since our online deal with You Swoop. Things have finally started to calm down. Might be a result of the fall season inching upon us.
I have a love-hate relationship with fall. I hate it because it means my favorite season is just about over, and the season I loathe the most is right at our doorstep. But I love fall because the nail color collections are always gorgeous!
About a month ago, I picked up my box of OPI Germany from Cosmoprof and just then the FedEx guy stalked in with a beautiful brown box full of Zoya colors. Nikki, Lyvonne, and I were bursting with excitement, and we have the pictures to prove it. The poor FedEx guy couldn’t get away from us fast enough. We grabbed the box and ripped it open -- so many colors and not enough fingers. The dollhouse looks gorgeous with all the new colors.
I’m in love with OPI’s “Don’t Talk Bach to Me” and “Berlin There Done That." Our guests who have decided to embrace fall are going head over heels for OPI’s “Nein Nein Nein Okay Fine” and Essie’s “Miss Fancy Pants.”
And, we feel like the coolest kids on the block since we rounded out our color assortment with Vegan-friendly Zoya colors. The people at Zoya were so helpful. They recommended their most popular colors, which our guests really like. All in all, I am a happy camper.
We also had a little fall outing. We were invited to Water Tower Place -- a popular shopping center in downtown Chicago -- to share Fall Fashion Fingertip trends. We took it one step further and offered visitors mini-manis in Zoya, OPI, and Essie colors from the Fall 2012 collections.
I guess I’m sort of falling for fall.
What’s next? One more deal with Bloomspot. It’s an online deal company that features high-end offerings. I’m flattered. We’re just Posh’aah, and so glad that others have grown to like us.

Month three of Graffiti Nail Bar’s new location has been more than a handful and to say it’s been interesting is an understatement. I’ve had a few manicurists inquire about working at GNB over the last
I have a small obsession with indie/franken polishes that has almost consumed what little free time I have. I haven't purchased any because I know I can make some. I do, however, love coming across different
So, this post is about two weeks late. It should have been done over two weeks ago, but that didn't happen. I've become absolutely horrible at multitasking, and because of that it has now become the
I had my very first interviews with some really great manicurists. The crazy part about all this is I have never been in management before in my life, so this was a completely new experience for
My summer is coming to and end, and I'm so glad to have my kids back in school. I tried to make it all about my kids this summer, but work always gets in the way.
I wondered what I would blog about after the whole renovation, opening few weeks, and settling in. I thought it would get pretty mundane after that, but, no, life after moving is a whole other story.
Things have been running well, and I haven't had too many issues thus far. My appointment book has been full and booked at least a week in advance. So I've been happy with things...until a few
So I have no idea what to write this week. I've been knee deep in toenails and acrylic dust! Business has done so well that I haven't even had time to put the little finishing touches
Three weeks open, and things are pretty normal. My clients can't believe the place looks like it does, especially since the last place was pretty colorless. I'm happy and relieved now that I'm out of the
As I'm getting settled in, I have a few more decisions to make. One of them is whether I should have a retail area. I have never had retail on hand, but if a client needs
Hi all in the nail world! I've been busy here at the Purple Pinky Nail Salon! My open house, which I called a "sip and see," was a success. I had about 50 people come. The
So why is it the end of the month, and I didn't even realize that?! Seriously, I knew what date it was, but deadlines and bills have just whizzed by me all month. I've never been
So, it's the middle of my third week, and I have a recurring issue that I have never had such a problem with before: No call no-shows. I've never had such a great no-shows problem. It's
Summer has officially started for us here in Virginia. Schools are out and, as many others, I made the list for "worst end-of-the-year moms" :)Between tardies, gluing junk to homework, and reading baby books to save
Holy canolis, I'm a nail salon OWNER! Boy, how my to do list has gotten longer. My salon has been open for almost three weeks. The response has been great. My location is on a very
Where to start...where to start...well, let's start with: Why start over? When I graduated from nail school I was immediately hired at a busy full-service salon, and I started working hard to build a clientele. I
Last year I was a busy nail tech in a small town, completely content in what I was doing, trying to advance myself and set myself apart with the competition in my area. Had you asked
