As you are reading this I am either running around like a crazy person trying to make sure I am not forgetting to take or do anything, driving to the airport, or flying off to London. It is so amazing to teach and to talk to nail professionals from other countries. Loving what you do is a universal language that transcends style differences, language differences, and even time differences. As I’m gearing up to have some Shellac and Brisa fun with the gang in Bournemouth it makes me quite curious just how many countries NAILS Magazine reaches. You can get it in digital copy to eliminate shipping costs and with such a crazy website so full of info it could burst there is never a need to feel that you are left out in any way. NAILS has a huge Facebook fan page worthy of envy and a passion that is palpable. Just to satisfy my curiosity and to make for some fun, where are you all from? List your state, country, providence, or whatever it is and let us know what the current trend is where you are! I will be sure to bring back photos and info on the trends in Bournemouth to share.
