I'm moving to Arizona!!

Yep, that's right people! The Big announcement is that I will be moving my business and life to the Phoenix area of Arizona. I have lived in San Diego my entire life, and quite honestly had no intentions of ever leaving. But as some of you may know, I have been in a long distance relationship for 10 months now and it's getting time for me to relocate and be close to my amazing man! Now the actual move will be happening October first of this year, But my last day in my San Diego salon will be September 16th. I wanted to make sure I put this info out as soon as possible for those who may want to book out before I leave. Although I have not settled on a salon to work at in Arizona yet, the other nail technicians I have met and talked to so far have been nothing but wonderful and welcoming to me and I'm thankful I can go into such a supportive community there. I will continue to check out salons until I find the right fit for my business, and will definitely be announcing that when the time comes! But in the meantime I will be enjoying my last few months at the salon that got my career started because it definitely won't be an easy goodbye. I have worked with 30+ other women at my current salon for the past 4 years and I couldn't have asked for a more encouraging and helpful place to build my experience at. Each co-worker and client will be greatly missed! But luckily I only have a 5hr dive or 1hr flight to come visit 💛

And of course here are the details on my Arizona inspired nail art:

Details on the VDay Nails

This year I opted to ditch the pinks and reds in order to create my Valentines Day nails around a more neutral taupe and rose gold color scheme! I used all CND products to create this lovely look and will list colors and glitters along with the step by step process.
