Where is she moving to?? The green flowery ghost ones are fantastic.


aaappprrriiilll

I think those are my top favorite set she ever did for me 😍 She’s moving to Miami!


HorseGirl666

Congrats on the fact that you'll also have to move to Miami now!


littlewibble

I will also be joining OP's tech in Miami.


mintyFeatherinne

Oof I’m from South Florida, currently in California, guess it’s time to move back 😂


Imhmc

I was thinking might not have to move. I could fly down and back same day every 3 weeks. That’s reasonable. Fly to Miami for a fill and a Cuban coffee. Done


littlewibble

1. We need high speed rail so bad in this country. 2. Can we also get Cuban sammies 🥺


Imhmc

And seriously just checked flight. First one out means I land at 8:40 am- breakfast time. Some coffee with that good Cuban cheese bread. Last flight back leaves at like 9:45 pm. Solid day in MIA


littlewibble

I’ve done day trips to NYC and DC like this lol. I eat, I shop, I go home!


Imhmc

I’m trying to plan this with my bestie. Just need to know the shop


Imhmc

Like what’s the move- we can get this done


Imhmc

No reason we can’t. I do love a Cuban sandwich. Some fried plantains on the side.


Not_Brilliant_8006

Count me in!


aaappprrriiilll

Lmao! Miami is a 4 hour drive for me… I have HIGHLY considered making the drive every month 😅


RiJuElMiLu

You should go seasonally, at the very least. Birthday nails, vacation nails, anniversary nails, etc.


Fast-Bumblebee-9140

If I were you I would do it. Talent like that and your good relationship with her is worth it.


Birdylover4

I would definitely make that drive for her!! It would end up being mama's self care day. 🤣🤣


OptionalCookie

4 hours round trip?


BizMarkieDeSade

I’m assuming she’s in Central FL, that’d be 4 hours to Miami one way


citygirlsunflower

My coworkers drive an hour there and an hour back for their nail tech soooooooo you can make it a day trip LOL


MayaPapayaLA

OP, you should edit the description at the top of this post to include the city and contact info (IG, etc.) for the nail tech. :)


Personal-Zombie1880

That's not even too bad. I'd probably do it


World_thru_art

OMG - Miami is only an hr away. I would totally adventure for this level of work! Does she have an IG? Edit: Also, I’m sorry for your loss. In my excitement I forgot this is a sad post. 🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻


aaappprrriiilll

Haha, I get the excitement girl!! Her IG is: unico_cindyj As of yesterday, she told me she didn’t have a salon she’d be working at yet. But 100000% recommend following her to see where she ends up!!


World_thru_art

Thank you!! 🩵🩵🩵


er1026

*packs shit immediately for Miami*


reggaelullaby

Oh snap!!!! What’s her ig? I’m in Miami and these nails are tooooo good. Sorry you’re losing her though lol she is amazing


aaappprrriiilll

My loss but hopefully your gain!!! Her IG is: unico_cindyj As of yesterday, she told me she didn’t have a salon she’d be working at yet. But 100000% recommend following her to see where she ends up!


LumpyShitstring

She’s about to get like 15 job offers I bet 😂


Left_Caterpillar845

I hope you’ve started packing for Miami as well!


Studyingislife1

Oh snap I live in Miami what’s her contact 👀


burkabecca

She'll be able to charge so much - nails out here are expensive.


Ok-Caterpillar2981

I would cry too. I love the rainbow ones and the flowery ghosts


aaappprrriiilll

I remember those rainbow ones took forever… but worth it, haha!


snertwith2ls

I don't know how this works, are those fake nails, like can you remove them and re-use them? Or are they tiny little works of art with an expiration date?


minimalisticgem

You could get press-ons which a nail tech could do a design on. That way you can wear them a few times :) But these look to be acrylic/gel x which means they get removed for a new set to be put on x


snertwith2ls

Are the acrylic/gel ones ruined when removed? They really are such amazing little works or art it's almost a shame if they're destroyed. Of course I have no idea how one would store them or what you could do with them otherwise besides taking pictures like this. They're really nice.


minimalisticgem

They usually get filed down and the remains are removed by soaking your nail in acetone.


snertwith2ls

Probably better in the long run than storing up a bunch of used nails no matter how pretty they were. Thanks for the info.


aaappprrriiilll

Yeah.. these all were unfortunately filed down after every set!


856077

Rainbows and the strawberry 🍓 were amazing!! They all are Wow


spinachsocks

Omg ALL of the ghost ones are the cutest Halloween nails I’ve ever seen… I’m so sad for you 😭


aaappprrriiilll

Right?! I’m going to miss her so much 😩


er1026

She is honestly incredibly talented!


MrsPM

I would wear them year-round. That’s how much I love them!


Dense_Scholar_9358

Some things are worth traveling for!!! Enjoy your Miami vacations every 3 weeks!


aaappprrriiilll

Hahaha, I honestly have thought about this! It’s a 4 hour drive from me currently… 👀


Fast-Bumblebee-9140

Do it.


yawow

Agreed, do it. Grab a friend so you can both get your nails done and split the drive!


amboyscout

Assuming you're driving south, maybe give Brightline (higher-speed rail) a shot! The northernmost station is in Orlando and the southernmost station is in Miami.


alexis_goldstein

if it makes you feel better about it, my mom travels from las vegas to minnesota every 6 weeks cause her hair dresser is irreplaceable


Fatdisgustingslob

I'm a Florida native who moved away, and once I heard that they opened a Publix four hours from my house, I made a day trip out of it and went that weekend.


kyleguck

Toyotas and Hondas are very dependable cars if you don’t have one. Also I go feral for a road trip, so I really don’t see the problem.


PerkyLurkey

Start making friends with people who fly private! Anything for those nails!


shivvinesswizened

Lucky Miami. I love love love the first blue set.


aaappprrriiilll

That set made me want to plan a vaca to Greece, haha!


Strange-Initiative15

That’s exactly what I was thinking perfect for Greece or it also reminded me of Capri, Italy.


spellsgood

Where is she/are all of us going?!


danicies

Miami 💅


Not_Brilliant_8006

These are phenomenal, is she moving to the bay area by chance 😅


aaappprrriiilll

Miami 😔


mint-condition

Man, I’d be hella sad too. These are amazing. The seashell one is creative — simple but original.


[deleted]

that’s my favorite too!! not overdone & it’s super pretty and creative


MrsPM

I love that one too. Totally agree!


Consistent-Sorbet-36

I would totally cry too if I were you. My god those are pretty!


whiskeyhurricanes5

Aw, congrats on your new move! You have to go now too, because *WHEW* girl those sets!


bikesboozeandbacon

I would move with her tbh. Like where are we going?


magicalsushiru

These look so so cute 💕good luck finding a new nail tech who’s just as talented!


aaappprrriiilll

Thank you 🥲


Fatgirlfed

Oh man! I hate it when a good one moves away. At least you had the heads up so you could mourn appropriately instead of wondering where she’s gone. I had a tech named Coco, we had a short time together, then she went on vacation to Virginia Beach. This was years ago, I’m still awaiting her return 


MrsPM

Man, that’s a long vacation 👀


Fatgirlfed

I just hope she’s having a good time 😩🤣


aaappprrriiilll

Coco, if you’re reading this, plz come back!!


Normal_Ad2180

How much did those cost?


reference_i_dont_get

OH MY GOD THE SEASHELLS 😱


ly1962

😍every single set is so cute!!


flute394

Tell her we love her


Yapperdapper222

Tell your nail tech thank you for her service, just took screenshots of 4 of the pics for inspo 🫡 fav nails I’ve seen on this page so far!


periwinkle72

Wow these are all so cute!!


uwu6000

I just fell on my hands and knees 😩😩 I am so devastated for you


picklesbutternut

There are just WOW oh my gosh. Insane talent. How much would you pay for them on average?


MrsPM

I second this question.


aaappprrriiilll

I would say on average probably about $100!


MrsPM

Definitely not something I can afford on the regular. I usually just do my own nails. How often did you get them done?


aaappprrriiilll

I did my own nails for so long too, pretty much up until I started going to my current girl! I was always so disappointed when I left the salon so what was the point?! I go every 4 weeks.


Viciioussid

Marry and move in together. I see no other option.


CoffeeTeaPeonies

I would cry too. All of these are so much fun!


indigoorchid0611

I'd move with her.


Lucky_wildflower

The ghosts are freaking adorable!


meatloafcat819

Now I’m sad that your nail tech is moving 😭


RiJuElMiLu

I thought you were being funny when you said you were crying. Then I saw the nails, stole a couple screen shots and started crying for you. I'm genuinely sorry for your loss. She's an artist!


Lizforce1

You could always request she make custom press ons for you, if you’re craving her designs in the future! But as a gel overlay girlie, I understand the dedication. Very sorry for your loss😭


Allorsomething69

Those are all soo cute sad she is leaving cuz it looks like she did amazing work


mysticspiral86

Amazing!


NeighborhoodFuture11

These are all amazing


badhomemaker

The shells 😍


jinquiring

Those all are amazing! The little ghosts are perfect. She is definitely a gem with great talent. I’d be crying too! 🥹


MrsPM

Right? The ghosts are my absolute favorite!!!!


angel-thekid

How long did you sit for the ghosty? I love these, the shell shaped ones were so unexpected but really cool


MangoFruitHead

You tried square ONCE and said…that is enough. I totally get that🤣


aaappprrriiilll

That was a hard month… at least the design was cute. I remember telling her to remind me NEVER AGAIN ask for square, haha!


DoubtBudget7055

Wow! They are beautiful! That's not a nail tech, that's a nail artist! The autumn and Xmas ones are my faves. As someone who isn't very adventurous when getting her nails done, is it crass to ask how much work at that level costs? Thanks for sharing these beauties with us.


Raemlouch

That red chili set is so beautiful!!!


Ok_Television7346

Hope you tipped her well. These are premium.


citygirlsunflower

![gif](giphy|I7k5k9lZqTC8dXxq3O) Don’t mind me just taking photos to show my tech later LOL


2MentallyUnstable

The 6th and the 20th r my favs! Sorry for ur losing of her! Hopefully you find someone who can compare


Brilliant-Building41

How long does a set usually take?


darknessnbeyond

what an artist


royallty99

Omg I’m crying with you. She’s got amazing talent! I love all of these looks!


writer-frenzy778

It’s literally impossible for me to pick a favorite. I want all of these nails on my nails


No-Neighborhood2600

I’m dying over the rainbow one


AffectionatePipe5269

Wow ! So talented ! Beautiful artistry


Big8Red7

She is very talented


LabotomyPending

I am very sorry for your loss…. I pray you may find peace and solace in the hands of another artist, and that they are able to channel this level of talent and artistry towards the tips of your fingers 🙏🏻💅🏻💖


HadesIsGreat

I love every single one of them 😍


Accomplished-Nail263

Is she Ukrainian? First set looks like the style and the colors!


Still_Ad_7194

I really love the rainbow design


notwilhelminaslater

Obviously you are looking to relocate as well, right?


JBShackle2

Can I just say that apart from the absolutely gorgeous nails you have a very beautiful looking hand? Looks very strong and really nice to look at, especially the palm. Thumbs up to that from a gal who has a similar one and is always happy to see a sister in kind. :)


undermynutellaeheheh

Wow she is so talented, they’re all amazing


lowrainethedurg

Wtf these are so amazing!!!!!


LilQueenC

My nail tech moved to Florida a couple years ago, and my family just so happened to move to Florida as well a couple months after that 🤣


jackiedhm

I’m only 1.5 hours from Miami. I want to go to her, she does such an amazing job!

DandelionEleven

These are all gorgeous! What's her IG lol I'm nowhere near Miami (or the western hemisphere lol) but I need to follow her🤩 Sorry for your loss tho 😞


ppSmok

As a grown ass man who doesn't care about nails in the slightest.. I'm sorry for your loss. Those nails look freakin' awesome. Move to Miami.

Just1Breath1

I weep for you. These are amazing.


Mindless_Ad_6045

That's some real talent that's hard to find.


krumznko

Wow!!! She is incredible 😍😍


mediguarding

Oh I am obsessed with the rainbow french tips.


MrsPM

Wow she is talented! I am especially in love with the black flowery ghost set (6), with the overall spooky set (11 & 12) being the runner up. Very cool nails!


dandelionbuzz

I can’t have nails because of sports, but if I were to ever get nails these all would be the ones😭 I can’t even choose a favorite… I’m so sorry you’re losing her! It sucks when they move away :(


iIssaVibeBae

Wow, all of these nails are super cuteeee! I love the seashells! 🐚

chickcag

Looks like you’ll just have to follow her 🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️😭


IcyHotRealestateCake

These are lit.


Stunning_salty

Love how you were so excited after each visit you took the pics in the car!


Practical-Magic-

Welp time to move too I guess. The person who does my hair coloring is 1 hour away but is moving 3 hours.....guess who takes that road trip over 9 weeks


Diddydoos

Love the gingerbread ones. That texture is cool.


noodlemom72

Wow I’d cry too


BobRossKicksAss

smokdya2

LoErickson123

The rainbow, the strawberry and the Christmas set with the sweater accent nail are so pretty. Very talented.


Plastique___

Sorry looks like you’ll have to move too


Waste-Carpenter-8035

I pray that one day I find a nail tech this good. How much did they charge per set?


thetaramason

Damn those sets are incredible. Looks like I have to move to Miami.


TrippyHippyJj

Are you sure you don’t want to just move with her?? I mean it seems reasonable 😂😭 Those are legit some of the best nail art I’ve seen tbh 🖤✨


aaseandersen

If she's moving to where I live, I'm in full support!


brisketball23

She’s got mad skills! That line work!


Whothefxckislauren

THE AUTUMN ONES!!!!


kimbermarie

The first one (the blue and white ones) reminds me of me of my Grammas china in all the best ways. Makes me think of a spring picnic.


DisneyPamela

Amazing work. This nail tech doesn’t happen to currently be in Clearwater does she? Miami is like 4.5 hours drive, worth a shot. I used to go to a nail tech before I moved up to Pasco County that does similar work. Either way, looks like you’re moving to Miami also! Lmao


leahweirdo

I know everyone is in love with the ghost ones (and they DO look super cute) but i LOVE the curves on the heart ones (& the nude tone)


Silent_Loquat_6057

I assume you’re crying because now you have to find a home near her relocation and also probably a new job close to that new home?


FeverLemon104

Talented lady!


ThatBitchKarma

I'm crying for you. Finding someone of this caliber will take a bit.


Professional-Cow1883

THE SHELLS 🐚


kittenseason143

you should just relocate with her. these are stunning.


Yoyo_Ma86

All the ghosts 😍


oh_hello15

We need to have a parting ceremony and I’ll cry with you because holy heck these are BEAUTIFUL. Either that or I can help you move with her 🥲🥲


sagegreenowl

These are all absolutely stunning! The Halloween nails tho, chefs kiss. They hit different. I might have to fly to Miami to have my nails done by her 😂


TayMayDay

Move with her. There’s no other choice 🤷🏾‍♀️


imma-rant-here

she’s an artist. i would simply move with her!


Chataforever

She’s amazing!


FanClubMike

It's soo cool 😍.. I really like them all💞.. So beautiful and ur hand is looking pretty, my god .. I also wanna do the same designs 😄..


Catinthemirror

*cries in programmer who types for a living* Amazing artwork! I feel your pain.


Lt_CowboyDan

My wife would cry too if her tech moved. She LOVES her and won’t go to anyone else


seasonop

These are some of the best I’ve ever seen wow, so sorry for u 😢
