I must say though that I was definitely the most surprised by the excitement of the competition, submitting your work after having put so much effort and thought into it and then having to wait for the critiques to come back gives you such a rush, it’s addictive and nerve-racking, a roller coaster of emotions and I didn’t expect my clients, friends and family to get so equally involved. I had people texting me right after the results were posted to give me their input and encouragement, which is pretty heartwarming.
Before the competition I assumed we’d be getting some things to work with in the challenges, but the kits definitely surpassed my expectations and I couldn’t be more thankful for the chance to try and work with so many amazing products. GC: One of the things I was very surprised by is the amount of products we got from the sponsor packages. NAILS: What has been the thing that's surprised you most about competing? We set our own barriers and it is only up to us to tear them down. One day I started browsing through the previous NTNA season’s gallery and I felt so inspired, everyone’s work was so amazing and everyone was learning and experiencing so much and then it hit me: that could be me and the only thing stopping me from doing it was my own thoughts, nothing else. GC: I had been contemplating the idea of applying for NTNA for a few years already and I always found the excuse to not do it, “I’m not good enough,” “I can’t do that type of work,” “I don’t have the time,”my mind kept coming up with reasons not to.
