Egypt Inspired Mani & Nail School Wk 1


Hello loves! HAPPY FRIDAY!
As you know, I started my Nail Technology program this week...
So I thought I'd share my weekly experience with you!

This week, we covered topics like history, and time management skills.
We were assigned an essay about how the ancient civilization affected the world of Cosmetology.
I picked the Egyptians-- hence today's mani!

Long story short, red nails were popular, they really loved themselves, and Cleopatra is awesome.
I know I'm so great at essays. lol.


For this mani-
I used Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure in Guilty Pleasure and All Fired Up. As well as Rimmel London's Black Satin, and acrylic paint for the rest.


Skill-wise, we practised on polish application...
Apparently when you do the certifying exam, you have to paint VERY CLOSE to the cuticles...
This is news to me as I often leave at least 1mm on all edges...call it personal preference?
Anyway! I have to work on perfecting this skill because I have to be PRO!
We also started doing French Manicures! 

It feels good to learn things the proper way 
:)

Anyhoo, that's all for me today.
Have a wonderful weekend, lovers!
