For my final post, I will be showing you the culmination of my project.  This is what it has all been leading up to, my ability to give someone a full manicure.  This includes; cuticles, filing, buffing, and painting.  I gave two full manicures to two different people and it was a lot of work, but it turned out pretty well!! I was actually really surprised at the fact that I could do these things! Here are some photographs:

For the first girl, I gave her an ombre nail using the same technique as I used in the first complicated manicure I ever tried during this project.  I also had to push back her cuticles, and file and buff her nails.  I think I painted her nails really evenly and it looked really good when I was finished.  Also, her cuticles were unbelievably long, but I think I pushed them back well and only hurt her a little! For the second girl, I did one hand with the flower design I used previously and one hand with the water marble design (that's what she asked for).  I think I was tired at this point because I was messing up more, but they still turned out really well.  In the end, however, I really do enjoy painting nails and I think that this project helped me shape the skills  that I am going to need in my future nail endeavors!
