Algae Veronica's Nail Art Obsession
What is art to you? Art is my job, it's my mood, it's my life...I live breathe and eat art (although I think some art wouldn't be very tasty.)
I'm a 24 year-old cosmetologist from Michigan. I've been an artist all my life, but I've been a nail artist for about 5 years. A few years ago I got a job working at a nail salon and I absolutely LOVED it, so I decided to leave the college I was at and pursue "beauty" college. I'm lucky enough to have nail and hair designing as a career I'm able to and share my passion of hair and nail art with all kinds of wonderful, art-hungry people.
I'm an OPI junky, although I'm not opposed to using whatever catches my eye. I have over 460 bottles of nail polish (how on Earth did that happen?) and it's growing every day.
I taught myself all i need to know about nail art. It's hard to find people who do the same thing in the industry, especially since most of my cosmetology friends went with hair styling and not nail designing.
I'm always up for meeting new people, especially people with the same passion for nail art, so if you're into it too don't be a stranger and message me !
I have a couple of tutorials up and a video on what tools I use for my designs,so make sure you check it out!
I hope you enjoy my posts. Thanks for stopping by. :)
***I would really appreciate it if you could kindly give me credit for my original designs. Please DO NOT alter my water mark or crop it out.***

1. i'm from Michigan too! 2. You inspire me! I'm trying to go to cosmetology school in the near future here as soon as I get my financial aid filled out. 3. When you go to school, did you like.. pick if you wanted to focus on hair or nails more? I'm just curious how that works. I know you get the basics of everything, but I guess I'm just not sure if you get to choose one more than the other? I LOVE YOUR DESIGNS!

1. AWESOME! 2. I am so happy to hear that!! :) 3. You can focus on cosmetology, or just nails. I went with a full degree in cosmetology because I think it’s better to be well-rounded in this industry. Not only am I licensed to do nails, but I’m also licensed to do hair and quite a few skin services like waxing, facials, etc. Having an education in hair, nails, skin means you are more desirable and will have more chances of getting hired in at a salon, and more income, of course! In the end, you can really stick with whatever is your favorite. Nails are definitely my specialty and favorite, but I also love to do hair as well so I do both. Hope this helps, and GOOD LUCK! :)
