The Nail Hive

I'm actually in shock with myself with these ones..

The first picture is Lauren's first set with me and this weekend (almost 11 months later) I tried the set again minus 1 wee design.

The improvement in my line work alone is mental for not even a year on. I NEVER think myself or my work is good enough or improving but holy bejesus I can see it here.

I have worked my beehind off every Saturday for 11 months and I can finally see the good.

Thank you ladies who sat with me when it took 4 hours to do a 'simple set'.. youse are the reason I was able to get to this.

I entered another wee competition within CJP, this one was creating nails with everyday inspiration. I chose the cjp surprise box as it sits at my nail station, I see it several times a day and it reminds me that I love what I do with the products I do it with 🫶

And I won the beginners category ❤️ such a confidence boost, I am so chuffed ❤️

Here's the set I won with and the inspo box ✨️

The love/hate relationship I have with myself is real.. I love that I don't have to pay someone else to do my nails.. and I hate that I have to annoy my coccyx bone even more by sitting like the hunch back of Notre Dame for 2 hours doing them 🙃🫠 lol
