It was pretty amazing to turn my head and realize that Lisa D’Amato, winner of America’s Next Top Model All-Stars, was in the same room as me to learn about CND products. (Though maybe next time I shouldn’t pose next to a model?)

A self-professed “nail stalker,” she says hounded CND’s Jan Arnold about everything nails, which eventually earned her an honorary invite to sit in on a CND Master Painter class. (P.S. When she took the Who Are You? quiz that CND offers, she was revealed to be a Colour & Effects girl.)

Also at the event were a ton of celebrity nail techs, who were all there to learn new techniques to use on their trailblazing clients. Here I am with Jan Arnold, Lisa Logan, and Gloria Williams (better known as “The Footnanny, AKA Oprah’s nail tech.”)
