Special Moments
We would like to congratulate one of our educators Sammy Grant.  Sammy has been very busy over the last month and we would like to share with you some of her accomplishments.




 
Sammy entered the nail companions at Excel last month.  She put two entry’s in for photographic Classic and Photographic Nail Art.  Well I’m very pleased to announce she came first for her entry for Classic and second for her Nail Art entry.  This was not Sammy’s only accomplishment, Sammy’s salon was also voted for Nail Salon of the Year 2013.  Sammy the Team and I would like to congratulate you for all your accomplishments.  Well done x

I asked Sammy if she could share some of her experience with you for when she attended London fashion week.  Even with a busy schedule she was even happier to help.

 



Well the past year my career as a Nail Artist has had many highlights and special moments. But one of the most recent events I attended was London Fashion week, getting to tame the talons of supermodels was definitely a new experience for me. Covering twenty one shows in three days was intense but I loved every minute of it, I have always watched and followed the shows but to be backstage and being apart of it all was just something else. Each show had between 8 and 28 models each having a bespoke look created by the designer and Lead Artist. If you can imagine over sixty people crammed into a tiny room with hair dryers blasting its a pretty crazy environment. Working for the majority of the time on my knees tucked under chairs and tables whilst Make-up artists and stylists are pulling at the model getting the perfect crisp, clean, finish was sometimes very difficult. I had to deal with a lot of smudged nails and models who don't take the best care of their hands, I always though that models would have perfectly groomed hands and nails but how wrong can you be? As it turns out very. But on a whole if you ever get the chance to be involved in London Fashion Week I would say its a definite must. Truly something I will never forget and I got to work with such a great team. “
