Riley’s Vanity

proof that simple doesn’t have to be boring ͙͘͡★

we went with a builder gel fullset with tips to add just a tad bit of extra length. i took the route of builder gel to protect the integrity of her natural nail, and finished with chrome/top coat💫🌷

fresh set, fresh confidence. 💫

tiny nail beds don’t mean you have to settle for tiny nails. we added a little length with gel-x while keeping everything lightweight and natural-looking. topped it off with a classic french. ♡

builder gel nail fix with dnd ‘Garnet Red’⭑.ᐟ

this was a nail fix for a length lover (we did a lil bit of file down😅) that had lost some of her length on one nail. we did builder gel on two of her nails and painted all of them a beautiful deep blood red, that she is classically known for of course. ♡

not gonna lie looking back at my old sets i don’t know if i should cry, laugh, or be proud of myself.

it’s easy to only see the things i still want to improve, but looking back at where i started reminds me how important it is to celebrate the little wins too. growth takes time, patience, and a whole lot of practice. i’m so thankful for every individual who has trusted me along the way and allowed me to continue learning and growing in this industry.

i promise myself, my family, and anyone who believes in me, that i will make a difference and i will become an even better version of who i am today. i know i have a lot more to learn, and ill never stop doing so.💫💐

one thing about me… i’m a trust the process type individual

getting back into school has reminded me why i fell in love with this industry in the first place. creativity has always been a coping skill for me, and it feels really good to be creating again. here’s one of my favorite sets i did. definitely not the last. ✨

**** the 3d has been EVERYTHING to me lol

hi friends! 🤍

i know it’s been a while since i’ve shown my face on here. life took me in a different direction for a bit, and i needed to step away to focus on myself. that also meant taking a break from nail school. looking back, it was exactly what i needed, both physically and mentally. i had worn myself thin and needed to refill my cup.

i’m happy to say that i’m back in school now, and for the first time in a long time, i truly feel like i can see the light at the end of the tunnel. 🥹

i’m so excited for what’s ahead. i can’t wait to continue growing as an esthetician while also beginning my career as a licensed nail technician. it’s been a long journey, but i’m so grateful to finally feel like i’m moving forward again. i’m finally feeling like things are slowly settling in.

in the meantime, i’m currently taking clients at Michigan College of Beauty- Monroe, Tuesday-Saturday! if you’ve been thinking about getting your nails done and would like to support me while i finish my education, i would absolutely love to have you in my chair. it would mean so much to me.

thank you to everyone who has continued to support me, encourage me, and stick around while i figured things out. life is all about self-discovery, and i’ve found you never can know too much about yourself. i can’t wait to share this next chapter with you all. ✨
