Becoming a Nail Artist

     Your getting a manicure. While you're soaking your hands in a bowl of hot soapy water, did you think about the nail artist? Not everyone is just magically amazing at decorating nails, it takes practice. I have to tell you, they have to learn a lot!
     When becoming a nail artist, it takes a lot of time and effort! You have to take Nail Technician Courses. That includes Safety and Sanitation, Massage, Manicuring, Polishing, Tip Application, Wraps and Sculptured Acrylics. The average amount of time you have to put in for the courses are 350 to 500 hours. The best way to get your certificate is to start practicing and taking classes in high school. It saves time!

     When you take the examination, they watch very closely on how you give manicures, pedicures, acrylics, gel nails, other types of fake nails, polish, trim the nails, shape the nails, treat the cuticles and how you handle the hand and foot massage. That's a lot to perfect!
     The next time you get a manicure or pedicure, think about much they had to go through. Appreciate them just a little bit more!
