Years in the beauty business..and dealing with impossible clientèle!

After years in the beauty, well more specifically the nail, industry I have come acrossed all kinds. From those that are die hard true followers to the users that befriend you only for personal gain. People I have trusted with secure information not even my mother knows. You live and you learn though and I can honestly say I am glad I have had the opportunity to come across all of the individuals that have contributed to my character and been true A-holes to allow me to see how I need to be treated and respected and how I don't. When I started doing nails  back in '05 I never anticipated what was to come. I have really surprised myself with the many things I have accomplished. I have had an apprentice my first year in a salon which turned on me and made me out to be this crazy fire breathing nut job . when in all actuality I helped her not only learn the ins and outs but I'm opened her up to her new found love and dream to pursue nails and all it has to offer. Ive had numerous clients for whatever reason freaked out on me due to whatever other issues they had going on within themselves. I remain strong though, and pursuant of my dreams because I know that everything happens for a reason and at the end of the day I am the best mom, nail tech, daughter, sister, girlfriend and friend I know how to be. As for you if you are new to this cut throat industry stay strong and positive! It will get better!!!

Where you been!??

Hello beautiful people! Its been way too long since I posted to my blog but hopefully now that I am officially my own boss that will be changing. Yes, that's right y'all I quit working for the man and took a leap into my industry with out a safety net. I'm still free falling at the moment trying figure things out but what I can say is I love the adrenaline rush! Since I was little girl Nails has been my thing but the beauty industry as a whole has my heart! I love makeup and colors, its all Art to me! After many attempts to further my makeup career I finally decided to just wing it and do my own thing and so far so good! Ive done quite a few proms, graduation and I even did a bridesmaid! With more exposure and practice I'm sure it can only get better from here. As for my nail addiction..I put it on the back burner for a while and but never lost touch. Its just something about the nail industry that is just so intoxicating to me! So I went back to a salon and gave it one more good go around and realized I don't need the salon as much as the salon need me!!! So, I left and with business in mind I said I am going to do my own thing and I am going to make it out here no matter what it may take! And, well here I am one successful mobile empire in the making later. Check out my facebook like page CoutureNailCreations or for featured art follow my business page on Instagram @CoutureNailCreations. As for my Blog like I said hopefully you will be seeing me more often with product reviews and just overall updates of business and life as a Mom, beauty blogger, Nailtech/artist, MUA and so much more! Til next time beauties!!! Besitos! ;)

What nail color will you be wearing out this fall?
