One of the awesome things about being a nail professional is bartering or trading your nail services! This past week NAILS Magazine’s own Sigourney Nuñez became an officially licensed nail professional! In addition to being very proud of her, I have also been in love with her clever and fun nail fashion style. This prompted me to check if she would be interested in a service swap.
