June marks graduation month for many. I remember one high school teacher referencing Dr. Seuss’s “Oh the Places You’ll Go” when our class walked the graduation stage. I’m reminded of this book again as another season of NAILS Next Top Nail Artist comes to a close.
It’s hard to ignore the presence of bloggers in the nail industry. They have taken the world of beauty by storm and some blogs are even a part of a daily diet of reading. These women post reviews, paint swatches, and create exquisite art that keeps their followers coming back for more. But I bet you didn’t know that a good number of these nail enthusiasts are actually professionals, and that many of them made the decision to go to nail school after establishing their blogs. Learn how a tiny corner of the Internet encouraged these nail lovers to become licensed nail techs.
