In life love hard... I miss my professor Jeigh Singleton so much I can't hardly breath when I think of him and it's been years. Sometimes you only get one person on the planet you can vibe with in a certain way. I had that in my college professor Jeigh. He called me his everything but honestly he was my everything! He was hard on me, he was like a family member that didn't care about how hard I took what he said if it needed to be said. He was seriously passionate about me succeeding like it was his life that depended on me succeeding. At least I can say I know love and friendship. Jeigh made this beautiful dress, I saw it one day and he gave it to me. I almost died lol❤ When you need to tell your friend thank you and that he is your everything still and he ain't here! I miss the camaraderie maan! I do! Some people are irreplaceable when others are so forgettable. I'll never forget you Jeigh ever!!! Love your people hard! I do❤❤❤❤ . . . . . #shoutouttoheaven #heavenhearme #jeighsingleton #myprofessor #imissyou #myeverything #imissmyprofessor #artisticsynergy #camaraderie #imissyourpassion #passionatepeople #professor #myeverything❤️ (at New York, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/CEvG2IaM4fz/?igshid=rkadh35hhd1k

"TOOLS OF THE TRADE💅🏾🎨" These are a few of my favorite things! It always starts out neat...I am sure I organize mintue to minute. The hardest thing to do is keep my nail table super neat while I work but as soon as I'm done I'm cleaning and arranging again lol. It neva stops but I'm thankful to be surrounded by all the colorful things I love and the freedom to create! I'm my own house girl lol cleaning as I make a mass mess ertime🎨💅🏾 . . . . . #favorite #colorfulsurroundings #artistsurroundings #artisttools #toolsofthetrade #getatrade #reachoneteachone #professional #professionalsupplies #nailtech #licensednailtech #nailartist #fineartist #nailtechnician #licensedprofessional #vwreendesign #nailsbyvictoriawreenbah #victoriasnails #iamalicensednailtech https://www.instagram.com/p/CEiy3QrB5Ti/?igshid=1j0m1adi81isi

THAT COIN THO... As I get up there in age lol I find that my interests are shifting and the things that matter to me most have definitely shifted. I'd rather wrap up with a good book or color pencils, or coins than most things I can think of...I believe I was probably led into coin collecting because of my love of history and art. One coin I found in my change began this inquest back in time and it is a journey. Coin collecting is as close to time travel as I think I'll get lol. I really appreciate history in all it's tumultuousness. I am stoked to be a new member of The American Numismatic Society @americannumismaticsociety . Being associated with organizations was really never my thing until I found those things in life that really move me. Coins move me, history, and art moves me! Some of the best things and times in life are free, coins are everywhere! . . . . . #coincollecting #coincollector #blackgirlscollectcoinstoo #numismatics #studyofcoins #numismaticsociety #newmember #ilovecoins #timetraveler #coins https://www.instagram.com/p/CETkPRGhQRC/?igshid=lwcor87yv3gw

Time Is Money 🤑 Acrylic Full Set How long does it take you to complete a full set of acrylic nails? I get this question all the time. My former students would ask me this and I'd have to be honest. Everyone is different and starts where they start. Be honest with yourself and what level your work is on. Your time isn't the next nail techs time so be honest with your clients when they ask you how long do you take to accomplish a beautiful full set. FYI: 💅🏾Take in account removal times/prep 💅🏾 If you struggle in certain areas work on them often as possible in spare time. 💅🏾Get efficient selecting nail tip sizes or applying nail forms...this matters. 💅🏾 Cuticle work takes time and remember some clients need more care in that department than others. . . . . . #acrylicnails #fullset #nails #nycnailtech #nycnailtechnician #nycnailartist #nailartist #victoriasnails #nailsbyvictoriawreenbah #licensedprofessional #celebritynailtech #nailstylist #editorialnailstylist #educator #fineartist #nailtechnician #handpainted (at Bronx, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/CESBuwahj7i/?igshid=19znc580m0ryh

F📚G📚C📚G First, Generation, College, Graduate Ever Just Walk Down Memory Lane? See where the path might lead you... I still have flashbacks from those undergraduate days and long nights of struggles and triumphs. Looking back I probably wouldn't change a thing only because there still are no guarantees. I do know that completing what you start is important and this part of the cycle I completed. I'm living the new cycle. Only God knows how many more cycles of life to come. There is more of a desire to go back to school ultimately to receive my Masters & PhD. Talk about putting in work, at least my children are young adults now, they were young children when I graduated with my BFA. I think I can handle another handful of years of college again lol📚✊🏾 . . . . . #1stgenerationcollegegrad #firstgenerationgraduate #firstgenerationtograduate #firstinmyfamilytograduatecollege #collegegraduate #gotocollege #graduatefromcollege #proudofmyself #selfpride #fineartist #artist #bachelorsoffinearts (at Bronx, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/CEGW8HlBCi-/?igshid=rfx0xlqblkop

This Is Why You Do Not Bite Your Nails! In order to have a beautiful manicure that doesn't take a long time ladies, try to do better at home! I understand what stress looks like and feels like. I see so many women stressing out and taking it out on your hands...stoooooop it please! This is very hard to reverse in one appointment even two appointments especially if you don't stick to the same nail tech or even same nail salon for that matter. Try to get consistent with what you are allowing between manicures. It's tough to maintain your manicures in tough times as it is so be a bit more conscious of steps you can take to care for your nails and the skin around your nails. Our job is tough and I see this alot. The cute Instagram photos are one thing but unhealthy hands are not going to get you those Instagram nails and hands! Try to moisturize all the time, no specific time just all the times you can. Ok love yall and stop biting your nails nail biters, book an appointment! 😘🎨💅🏾💧 . . . . . #bookanappointment #stopnailbiting #nonailbiting #nailbiters #careforyournails #nailcare #licensedprofessional #celebritynailtech #nailstylist #editorialnailstylist #educator #fineartist #nailtechnician #licensedprofessional #swarovskinailartist #swarovskicertifiednailartist #fineart #manicure #gelnails #gelmanicures (at Bronx, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/CECLJtJBo8-/?igshid=gsybd4qbqykr

My Clients & I Are A Bit Extra At Times Maybe Even Nail Dramatic...But It Works! I just love how God sends people to me for nail appointments who loooove nails like I do and appreciate their services. When I tell you we will peel the place apart to get a good nail shot. You'd think we were getting paid for the shot for real for real! I love every second of these moments. We will bend and contort until we are both like "Yeeees Girl!!" Love you all ladies, every single one of you amazing supportive souls💋💋💋💋🎨💅🏾 . . . . . #ilovemyclients #clientsrule #greatclients #greatmoments #goodvibes #customersmatter #clientsmatter #greatpeoplematter #nycnailtech #nycnailtechnician #nycnailartist #nailartist #victoriasnails #nailsbyvictoriawreenbah #licensedprofessional #celebritynailtech #nailstylist #editorialnailstylist #educator #fineartist #nailtechnician (at New York, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/CECJvqHh_dz/?igshid=17u4ao8arf8zk

My Natural Nails I don't show the artwork on my hands too often. Usually by the time I remember or a client asks to snap a photo of my nails they are worked over. I do try to keep my nails cute as often as humanly possible.

THIS IS THE AMERICA YOU LOVE "Why These Images Exist... Extra, Doing Too Much, Cruel, Unusual Strange Fruit This Is!" To remind us of the way America really views how they feel we deserve to be treated. Let me tell you how it feels to be 44 years old and know this is still occuring. We have seen countless unbelievable acts in our lifetime that I'm sure will continue to be...sadder fact is black people we have families too that we love. How does the US rectify the continued abuse of African Americans in the US? These people are the epitome of evil and running the world. Nobody wants to discuss reparations nor accountability but everybody good tho. Yeah try being black and good at the same time!!! This was our ancestors fate, how do we move on? Leaving this right here...No nails only facts! . . . . . #africanamericans #americathisisyou #harshmemories #harshlife #itsharsh #ourlives #thisisamerica https://www.instagram.com/p/CD9wkgthgbl/?igshid=1l0k3z54szfqk
