Top Technique You’ve Mastered: Pink & white L&P Sculpture, hand filing
Advice to Competitors: Practice and time yourself! Break up each section of your work and time yourself every time you perform it. LOG it and see if you are improving on time AND consistency.
Hot Tip or Trick for Competitors: Get a great model. Meditate on the finished look in your mind before you start. See it… then do it!
What Lockdown Has Taught You: Balance… Stop and take time when you need it. In order to be the BEST you can be, you need YOU time. You need time to rest, time to reflect, time to play, time to sleep, and time to get recharged… before you can head out and ‘give it all you have’ again!
A Funny Day/Memory At The Nail Desk: Oh goodness there are so many that make me laugh right off hand. ALL were working side by side with Tom Holcomb. ALL are probably inappropriate to write down. LOL
An Affirmation You Love: ‘Winning’ is not the result, it’s the action.
