I graduated as a Nail Technician 🎉💜

I'm incredibly proud of myself, the knowledge and skill that's made me grow is something I'm very proud of myself for. I recently just finished the examination, waited as long as I could before I took all of the exams to make sure I was ready.

At this time I'm still just taking a few friends as models as I'm taking a business admin program because running your own business is no joke. I graduate from that next April and will hopefully be renting my own suite by then for nails! Aiming for this fall.

Thank you to all of my loved ones who have rooted for me, I couldn't have done it without your support. Thank you to my friend Bee for letting me practice both the good and the bad nails haha.

I can't wait to share more, if you'd like to keep up with my journey or be a model when I have the space, stay tuned here but if you just like the fun vibes, that's okay too! 💜 I have a Tiktok too and YouTube at Nail & Nymph but I'm not the best at posting yet 😅

P.s. again ignore my dead name it's for legal reasons, I'm Salem. Too cool of a name to ever change in my opinion.

Who Is Builder Gel For? 💅

Builder gel is perfect for clients who want extra strength and structure without the heavy feel of acrylic. It’s especially great if your natural nails tend to bend, peel, or break easily, or if regular gel polish just isn’t lasting the way you want it to.

Builder gel is ideal for:
• Weak or flexible natural nails
• Clients wanting added durability
• Growing out natural nails
• Structured manicures
• Short to medium extensions
• People hard on their hands but still wanting elegant nails

It gives the nails reinforcement while still looking natural, glossy, and lightweight. Think of it as support for your nails rather than just color sitting on top.

Not every set of nails needs builder gel, but for the right client? It can completely change retention and wear time. It's even helped my own nails in their strength and integrity.

The effortless look always takes a little more determination and persistance

But it’s worth it every time 💜

My gloves are almost always ruined with four different gels and at least one type of glitter 😅🤣

Practice day results 🌿💅

I worked on a live model today and focused on soft spring French tips. That are clean, fresh, and a little playful with that green. These are the kinds of sets I’m practicing right now to really lock in my shape, symmetry, and consistency.

Working on real hands hits different. You notice everything, angles, pressure, application, and the little things your perfectionist self wants to always correct 😅

Not perfect yet, but way stronger than before…and that’s the goal 💜

Spring sets are officially part of my rotation while I refine my technique for this season 🌸

Practice day for school today, this time working on a live model 💅✨

Totally different experience compared to practice hands. You really start to understand timing, client comfort, and how important clean, precise work is when it’s on an actual person.

Today is all about practicing my French tip technique. The shape, the symmetry, the application…it all matters way more than people think.

Still in the learning phase, still refining every day, but this is where everything starts to click once you get into the swing of things. Every set is getting me closer to the standard I want to be known for 💜

Progress over perfection, always.
