I am really happy about getting my nail collection sorted, I like finding the things I will be using at really reasonable prices. Like from ebay, they have hoards of great stuff, and really super low prices, coming from like Hong Kong, China, it’s incredible, most of them are free shipping too. So you know I pick up quite a bit there. On occasion I got to Michaels or Jo-Ann’s and get stuff on sale, and yes I do buy reg priced items, but hey I try to use 40% off coupons when I can. From what I have seen, it’s been 40% on one item which is really great, because I find stuff on sale, so I already am getting a discount, over all I have been very happy.
What I would like to do next, is get acrylic powders and liquids from different companies and test them out and see how they are. As I had said before I started with less expensive product coming from China/Hong Kong, which is a good starter, as you learn technique, and I suppose learning powder/liquid ratio’s is what’s important. That is something I need practice at. Since I have a good supply of other things such as nail decorations, glitters, nail tips, I don’t have a lot of nail polishes, but that collection will grow too. I have my own nail table, which was a good buy, and storage containers. So I’m relatively happy. My awesome boyfriend bought me a new drill, because the one I bought wasn’t that great, so it’s a little back up one.
So what I need to do now, is practice, practice, practice. William did offer to put me through school, but I told him that I would like to do something else first, because I felt it was more important, and plus the cost of school was outrageous lol. So for now, I need to get that other thing done. I said I was going to do it over the weekend but didn’t. Not sure what came up. But I do need to get to it, better make a note about it. Ok there, hopefully I can do those top 3 things first. I took a couple of snap shots for you to see some of what I have, and what I got today
I have 2 triple stack containers on the table, and some things like what you see on that photo that I just got today, that I need to put away, but everything is finding it’s place, so I’m happy about that. The room is looking less and less messy, and that makes Emily happy, and William above all hehe.
So that’s about all for now. Hope you all are having a good day. See you later.
You can learn a lot going through school but I think that if you are self taught you will eventually end up better at it. When you learn something through school you go to a specific level and are training in a certain way. There is nothing wrong with it but self taught people, I always find, are more creative and have much more of a passion and understanding…… also, we learn to do things our own way and often learn the ways which we can break the rules that work. I went to school to “check” how good I was after teaching myself for years and I found that I could have taught the class.
Good luck!
