I love some good cuticle work🤏🏿🙂‍↕️this is actually one of my prom boys. He works with his hands and is graduating in 3 weeks. He wanted his hands to look a little nicer. Also prom is tomorrow for him. So congratulations class of 2026. So proud and so grateful to be able to help them. These babies deserve the world❤️

First time trying builder gel on my short nails. This is orly brand. I didn't add color because I'm checking on how well it works for me. I think I want to switch over to polygel and maybe add hard gel. Everything is still a process ❤️

Men can I be honest? It's it safe here?
PLEASE STOP PEELING AND BITING YOUR NAILS!!!!!!!!!!!😭😭😭😭 I hate to see this so much. My poor client is literally close to infection because of this. He works with his hands too. Can I tell yall something? I want yall to keep your hands out your mouth. Think about how many times you're touching something... the car, the front door, the faucet in the bathroom, the light switch, your car keys, hell door to door is enough to catch a cold. You're literally inviting viruses into your body and they're having a party every time your touch something or someone. Keep your hands clean, keep hand sanitizer, touch elbows, pound it, etc. Anything that keep you safe. I love yall and I want your to be safe. You need your hands. Also remember going to an ER visit for your hands costs. Imagine trying to do anything but you can't use your hands. Be safe❤️

Can I be honest with yall? Is this a safe space?👀
Okay cool

I really want yall to be so much more careful with your feet. I know life gets I the way, bills pile up and depression has a sneaky way of staying wayyyyy longer than it should BUT if I could just ask one thing from everyone, please care for your feet. ESPECIALLY my people with pre diabetes and diabetes. Your feet are so crucial to your health. One wrong move and you can lose your foot or your entire leg. And it can happen so fast. Men, I beg you to please take care of your feet MORE OFTEN!!!! Once every quarter is not enough especially if you're not already at least keeping your feet moisturized and nails clipped STRAIGHT. My client is pre diabetic and has a terrible ingrown toenail that he's had for 2 years. It happened from trauma, he tried one Dr and just left it alone. Usually I can take care of them but I have to be oh so careful with diabetic feet. We recommended him to a podiatrist because the area is swollen and tender to touch with a slight purple hue. Afterwards I'd like to see him. I say this to say let me help you if I can and IF I can't, I have recommendations and we can always work on a plan. YOU DO NOT HAVE TO SUFFER❤️ Love yall❤️

Nail tip:
Foot fungus starts in the most easiest cracks of your feet. In between your toes, under the baby toe, on the heels, etc. All it need is a damp, dark place to grow. Your feet are in your shoes, your feet may sweat, you may not use shower shoes in public(please start😓), you don't moisturize your feet, you step on something, etc. So many causes. Your feet are literally a key part of your life. Take care of them. The most basic care you can do is: cut your toenails STRAIGHT across with the side walls straight. Not round, not pointy. Straight tells your nail brain to grow straight out. It tells the sidewalls to keep growing straight up instead in which causes ingrown nails. After cleaning your feet, moisturize with Shea butter, cocoa butter, Vaseline, oil, etc. You can use your lotion but use a moisturizing one or back it up using an oil. Still give your feet 5 minutes to dry after applying. All these things give your feet love. Love yall❤️

Nail tech tip:
I know we're always in a rush to get to the next place but if you can just take an extra 5 minutes to moisturize your feet, you're body will thank you. Once is great but twice a day really does get the results. Also air your feet out as often as you can. You can still wear your socks/house shoes but still give them some real air. Also air those shoes out or spray them. The odors and fungus gets trapped in the shoe. Love yall❤️

I ask my clients ask the time not to go digging out their corners and ingrown nails. I know schedules get busy but remember you can make it so much worse. I always advise using a fine file. Filing can help ease the pain and keep the growth at bay until you get in to see me. After removing the ingrown nail, he has a little overgrown scab. It was a little painful but nothing that wasn't manageable ❤️

My friend has extra calloused feet and needed a little help getting it together. Glad she came to see me at gig❤️🙂‍↕️ I really do this

Feeling lucky🥰
