I came across some of these fancy smancy nail designs over the internet. I got to thinking of my days as a nail salon owner/nail technician. My nail salon was called, Nails by Tammie and I was in business for 10 years. It was so fun to own a salon and do all those fancy nail designs. I won so many nail art competitions back in the early 90′s. Looking at the new age nail designs now,wow they  have came along way.

I wouldn’t necessarily wear this stuff now but its getting popular again with all the different designs lol. My daughter who is a tween, loves all of this stuff, I guess I’m getting old. I’m more into the natural nails now, than all the designs but to each it’s own. I thought I would share some of these fancy nails with you,enjoy! See any that you would wear? lol

I was a nail technicican for over 15 years and owned a nail salon called,Nails by Tammie. I loved doing nails and going to nail competions. Alot of my nail art was featured in Nails magazine and I won alot of trophies as well. When I got word that M.A.C. had launched Nailtrend fall colors,it brought back memories.
