I spent an hour on the internet radio program Nail Talk Radio hosted by Athena Elliott and co-hosted by Dahlia McCutchen and can I just say that it was a blast!


Not only did we have listeners online, but call-in listeners too. Plus a chat room, where listeners could type their questions and I would answer them. We talked about so many different competition things that the hour just flew by.

We talked about why competitions are great and why we need more of them. We discussed many tips for getting started in competition for people who had never done it before. And we talked about my new training programs that I’ll be offering starting next year. Plus, I explained what the different titles are (Nailpro Cup Champion vs. Nails Magazine Top 25 vs. Dusseldorf World Championship) and how they tabulate those points. And I was challenged to produce my own ambidextrous nail video! Ha, that ought to be hysterical!


All in all, it is a great program. A place for manicurists to get candid answers to any sort of nail questions.


Congratulations Athena on having a successful show.


Game on.
