I’ve Moved! New Location for Nails, New CND certification

Hello everyone – it’s been a crazy last couple of weeks but I’m excited to finally be able to announce a new location. I’ve moved just streets over from Whitefish Bay to Shorewood Wisconsin and am now doing Shellac, Minx and everything else for the Milwaukee area at 2317 E Capitol Drive (inside Scenario Hair Design). We’re just steps from City Market, Atwater Park and that fabulous Lake!

Non-metered parking is available, and I have a wonderful room for all of your semi-private manicure/pedicure services. You can even make your appointments 24/7 now by  booking online here . 

In other news, last Monday I attended the first in a three part series for Master certification with CND.  I’m happy to announce I now have my Master Painter Certificate for Shellac and the Colours & Effects lacquer line. 

The ride started out beautiful, even though severe storms were forecasted.  The instant we parked, I kid you not, the skies opened up.  We had arrived very early to make sure we’d be on time and as we sat in the hotel cafe, tables and chairs outdoors were blown over, branches came down and we had a few brownouts.  Over 80K people were without power.  Luckily we didn’t have that problem.

My boot camp mentor Angi Wingle was training,  and people came from all over the US to attend.  We were sat randomly as we came in.  I got a very pleasant surprise when someone at my table said she followed on Facebook and my blog.  Hello to Jessica from Indiana if you are reading this right now!  Angi was actually in need of a model and Jessica drove the 4 hours up herself.  She has gorgeous nails, she was a perfect candidate.

Oh my, I was so tired I hit publish last night instead of draft! I wanted to add that if you are thinking about CND training I will be adding information to the site calendar here, and you should also call CND or go to their website at cnd.com

Aside from techniques and knowledge, the goodies alone were shocking!  For this Master Painter were were supplied with a CND Shellac lamp, curette, productproductproduct, C&E lacquers and a very cool purse style bag.  Each Master certification level has a different bag to reflect the style of training.  I’d also received the faux patent leather from boot camp that is given for the L&P class and I have to say, these bags are surprisingly well made.  They are durable, very attractive and fit everything without being bulky. 

If you don’t feel ready for Master level, there are many other courses for introduction or Skill Building.  It’s such a great way to meet new people in your industry while improving your craft.

I’ll update later today to show you the Mood Ring nail we learned for Boot Camp, created by CND EA Candice Manacchio.  It is a gorgeous 5 color layer nail and was also shared during the Master class.  Enjoy your Saturday!
