I never cease to be amazed at the directions my career takes me — all the new and wonderful people to meet, the cool and awesome things to do, as well as the beautiful places to see. Today I would love to share and celebrate a new path in my nail journey. My love and commitment for CND remain the same, I hope this newest addition will only enhance and “empower” my classes for you!
This has been a very hard secret to keep while we hashed out all the details; however I am going to guess it will not come as a surprise to any of you. Empower Nail Art, owned by Lucien Henderson, has entered into a partnership agreement with the FingerNailFixer®, Holly L Schippers. Look for those familiar FingerNailFixer® hands and voice to appear in Empower educational videos as well as in the booth at some trade shows and classes. It is such an honor to work with someone like Lucien who constantly strives to help others take their career to the next level. His vision for the art of the industry and love for the nail professional inspire me to do and give more of myself. Stop and see us at our first official gig together in booth #6964 at Premiere Orlando!
