Season 1 episode 8 of Bob's Burgers where Gayle participates in the art crawl inspired cat butt nails.

My client this evening said “I want a cat on my nails” and well naturally this is where we ended up. I’m so lucky to have clients & friends like Donna (daynay) that let me express my creative freedom when it comes to nail art. 🐈‍⬛💅🏻💖

It’s that time of year again—one of the most meaningful times of the year for my fiancé and me. Throughout August and September, I’ll be working hard to raise money for a wonderful nonprofit that supported us after the heartbreaking losses of our angel babies, Bea & Poppy Hassen. 🖤

Empty Arms of Greater Bangor is an incredible organization filled with compassionate people who truly understand the journey of pregnancy and infant loss. They provide beautiful care packages to grieving families, maintain a peaceful memorial garden in Bangor to honor babies gone too soon, and offer countless resources and support to families navigating one of life’s most difficult experiences. 🖤

Throughout the months of August and September, every tip I receive will be donated directly to Empty Arms of Greater Bangor under our team, Bea & Poppy Hassen, for the Remembrance Walk in Bangor on October 4th, helping raise awareness for pregnancy and infant loss. 🖤

I want to thank each and every one of you in advance for your generosity and support. Because of my amazing clients, friends, family, and Aveda family, we’ve raised $2,500 over the past two years, and I am so grateful. I can’t wait to see the difference we can make together this year. Every donation, no matter the size, helps Empty Arms continue supporting families when they need it most. 🖤

My fave salon receptionist visited me this evening 💖💅🏻

Investing in continued education allows me to provide my clients with the highest quality services, the latest techniques, and healthier options for natural nails. Switching my gel X products to Aprés has been such a great choice for myself & my clients.

(Don’t worry I’m still offering manicures & pedicures as well as sculpted hard gel nail sets!)

So, what does being Aprés Gel-X® Certified mean?

I have completed official training through Aprés Nail, the creators of the original Gel-X® Soft Gel Extension System.

I am trained in proper application, sizing, shaping, and removal techniques.

My services focus on maintaining the health and integrity of your natural nails while providing beautiful, lightweight extensions.

You’ll receive professional-quality products and techniques designed for long-lasting wear and a comfortable, natural feel.

Why choose Gel-X®?
Lightweight and comfortable
No acrylic odor
Durable with a natural appearance
Less filing than traditional enhancements
Soak-off removal when properly maintained
Perfect for clients looking to grow and protect their natural nails

At Painted By LeeAnn, education is something I never stop pursuing. Every class, certification, and training I complete is an investment in giving my clients the best possible experience.

Thank you to everyone who continues to support my small business and trusts me with your nails. I can’t wait to create even more beautiful Gel-X® sets for you! 💕
