SEARCHHolly is practicing for the gel-polish competition coming up in Orlando on Sunday.
Finally squeezed some more practice time in for the gel-polish competition in Orlando. It seems to be sneaking up so fast! Hard to believe the show is this weekend and the competition is bright and early Sunday morning. Will have to make sure to get plenty of sleep and not stay up half the night catching up with nail friends. I’m under the impression I can do this in the time allotted now, with cleanse, base, two color coats, top, and remove top film; it’s finally under the 30-minute mark. The trick will be to duplicate my normal skills and the faster timing while under pressure with people watching! Will you be coming to watch and see if I finish on time and make it into the Top 10 Sunday morning? I could use all the support I can get for sure. On that note, HUGE thanks to CND for their generosity in sponsoring me in my first competition experience. When the competition finishes you can either follow me or find me at the Empower Nail Art booth with my new partner in nail fun, Lucien, in booth #6964.
