Mel and I are hamming it up in front of a fun backdrop.
Who is your nail BFF? That one person who seems to be able to read your mind about anything nails. They complement your style while having a style of their own. Perhaps they even feel like the other half of your nail soul? I recently got to have a bit of fun in Los Angeles with #BFFmel and it got me to wondering if other nail professionals also have a profound friendship that began in the industry and extended into every part of their lives.
Melissa Finch and I met at a class over 15 years ago. We were paired up for the hands-on portion, and while friendly and curious, it was not love at first sight. We continued to bump into each other at classes and shows, and continued to chat more and more — I even ventured to get a pedicure from her. We finally talked about sharing travel expenses to a CND Roadshow event and our time together that weekend cemented what would become a forever friendship.
