An entire month of nail school already finished! I have completed 94 hours of my 240-hour course. In Florida you have to complete a minimum of 240 hours to qualify for the state board so you can obtain your nail technician license. Within this time, I have also managed to complete 40 of my 90 required nail services.
A look at the backstage goings-on at NYFW Spring/Summer 2015.
In case you missed it, NAILS got backstage at some of the hottest New York Fashion Week shows to get you the inside scoop on the nails that walked the runways.
Lauren Wireman traveled to New York Fashion Week to assist CND nail artists creating runway nails. She ended up also getting the opportunity to design NYFW nails for CND co-founder Jan Arnold.
CND didn't disappoint when it came to their final collaboration for NYFW Spring/Summer 2015. Their partnership with the Blonds produced awe-inspiring gangster genie nails.

The second week of school got off to a rough start. I spent most of my week finalizing my submission video for the Beauty Changes Lives /CND /Tippi Hedren Nail Technology Scholarship. The scholarship is for nail tech students, giving them the opportunity to win the full cost of their nail technology tuition to an accredited school.
CND kicks off NYFW Spring/Summer with a landmark collaboration with Opening Ceremony.
Where do I begin? I really have so much to talk about, and I am so excited! I never imagined that my first week would have been so packed with information on several different nail enhancement products and services, nor did I ever think that I would perform an actual manicure my second day of class — yikes!
