I am finally back - I have been gone due to an extraordinary amount of work with my “real” job with b5media. Things are moving like wildfire over there and between writing eBeautyDaily and PittWatch and my job as the channel editor for the Lifestyles and Women’s channel (approximately 40 blogs and their respective bloggers) at b5media, my free time has been at an extreme minimum.
I have joined Glam.com over the weekend - if you are not familiar with Glam, you should be - it is an awesome network of fashion (and now beauty) related blogs from all over. Some of my favorite blogs are members (Tia Williams’ Shake Your Beauty, for instance), and there is so much to see at Glam, I am discovering new things all the time. I am super excited that they wanted me to join, so here I am, and welcome to any new readers who may have found yourself here from Glam!
Time to get back to the nails, there are new spring colors everywhere (including from all of the nail companies!)!
Welcome!

Since we are at a good stopping point, I am going to go on to my Christmas hiatus, as my mother and brother are coming tomorrow and I have a whole (albeit, small) house to clean, and Christmas dinner to plan. Oh yeah, and shopping to do!
I hope you all have a wonderful Christmas, and I will be back with regular postings next Thursday, the 29th of December, when we will start talking about how to do the special hand treatments they offer you for big bucks in the salons, at home!
Merry Christmas to all!
Love,

I have had so many clients over the years tell me that they come
to me because they just can’t seem to make their nails look as
good as I can, and last as long as I can, and I always have told them
that yes, they can. Nail Technicians are not members of a secret society.
We have no secret potion that makes us better than you at doing
what we do. Nail Techs are no more intelligent than “regular folks.”
All we have is desire, experience and knowledge. This knowledge
has been closely held by Nail Techs, mostly because they don’t want
any other Nail Techs to learn their “tricks” and possibly be outdone
and lose their clientele.

Thanks for stopping by my little home on the www! If you are looking for information on how to perform manicures and pedicures like a professional, this blog, Nail Tech Secrets can definitely help you out.
This blog will benefit anyone who wants to learn how to take care of their nails themselves, saving you the hassles involved with finding a decent nail tech, making appointments, hanging around forever waiting on your nails to dry–taking precious time away from you and your family. People with suppressed immune systems would be wise to learn to do these things themselves as well, as there are many dangers in poorly cleaned and sanitized salons. Nail Tech Students will likely find this blog to be very beneficial as well, as it is chock full of things that are learned over time, real life experiences, from a veteran of the nail industry.
Welcome!
