So yah, school. I had a written exam this past Monday. It was on anatomy and on nail disorders...I had to revisit grade 10 high school science again. Yuck. And I had to memorize names like leuchonychia, onychatrophia...a ton of those and what they are, look like, causes, treatments. **sigh** But I studied a lot these last few weeks and felt ready. So we were given an hour and I finished it in 14 minutes. I think I may have studied too much if that's possible. And I got 100%. It was easy...I guess I could have spent a bit less time studying and a bit more blogging for you guys. Sorry!
And I have my practical exam this Sunday. Which means I have to do a timed manicure and a timed pedicure. Yikes! Wish me luck! Looks like I"m going to have to practice on my hubby! Mee hee hee. Such a sport he is. (Should I give him some siren red nails?) Then on Monday I move to the artificial nail part of my program.
About the job, my teacher mentioned on Sunday that there was a job available and that they were willing to accept students, as well. I thought, well, let's enquire and see what she says. I emailed that night and in the morning she called and asked if I could come in for an interview...that day. I was like, no I have school (and no resume!). So I quickly typed one out and had the interview today. It went okay, pretty well in my eyes. I don't know, my last job interview was 8 years ago. HA. Seriously.
She said that I would learn about waxing and all that, too, if I were to get a job there. And massage. I think that'd be cool though. But not really what I'm interested in. They sell makeup too, so I think that was a bonus that she knew I did makeup.
She asked me if I did gel nails and I told her, no but I will be starting the artificial part of my program on Monday, but I told her I did play around with gel on myself. She was like, great! Why don't you do a gel nail with a tip on me...just one nail. I just about hyperventilated. I did it though. And as nervous as I was, it was a pretty decent job. She said it was really good for having no training, so I was happy about that. Then I had to paint one nail, I think she just wanted to see if I was able to do it. No basecoat, no top coat, just colour.
I think the interview went pretty well, but she has 2 other interviews to do and I'm sure I won't get the job cuz I'm sure at least 1 of the other 2 will be a nail tech. Why choose a nail tech over a student? I wouldn't. But I think it was great experience going through the interview process. I know what to expect now. She said she'd call next week once the interviews are over, but I'm not holding out hope. And I wasn't really looking for a job to be honest, I think it just seemed like such a good oppotunity at the time!
Anywho, I thought that clean, simple nails would be the best. I chose SpaRitual's Idyllic (cream) for my nails. I applied Orly's base coat first, then 3 coats of the Idyllic (it's a sheer...we use it for our french manicures in class) and 2 coats of Seche Vite fast drying top coat. I wanted my nails to look like shiny pieces of candy...It must have worked cuz she asked if I did my "gel nails" myself. I was like, it's just polish!
It's really natural and I like the way that looks from day to day. I have my nails really short right now, cuz I have to have fingertip length nails for my exam.
Anyway, I'll have another tutorial up for you guys soon on how we were taught to paint nails. Bye for now!
