Nailgirls

What a season!!!

We had the pleasure of being part of the backstage team at a number of shows this season. Jo and I also attended. Jo organising the pro team making sure that each and every model was perfectly painted and I chatting to the press that were backstage about the show about the inspiration that led us to paint the particular colours.  I also enjoyed sharing all the interesting things we have been up to over the last season and what was coming up next for us.

Last season Jo had just had her little daughter Georgia May so did not attend the shows. It was nice to have my sister back with me. Please dont throw up but it is true!For each show we did no soak manis and or pedis (shape, buff, full cuticle work and paint).
