In this episode of Nail Table Confessions, I’m sharing my raw, unfiltered experience from the recent nail competition. From the prep to the pressure, the excitement to the unexpected this journey was more than just showing off bomb nail sets. It was about growth, confidence, and learning what it really takes to compete at a high level in the nail industry. 💅🏾
