My First Nails in China I was 13 years old when I traveled to China with my mom and sister.

One day, while walking through a shopping mall, I noticed something that instantly caught my attention.

In the middle of the mall, there was a small table where a woman was creating nail extensions while people walked by.

I couldn’t stop watching.

I begged my mom to let me get my nails done.

After a lot of convincing, she finally said yes.

My mom and sister went shopping, and I stayed behind, sitting at that little table for hours, completely fascinated by the process.

That day, I got my very first set of nails.

They were long, square-shaped, and had a blue aquarium design.

I felt like the happiest girl in the world.

The nails didn’t last very long, but the feeling did.

When we returned home, my mom saw how passionate I was about nails and beauty.

So she bought me my very first nail kit.

Gels, forms, brushes, and everything I needed to start practicing.

Looking back now, I realize that this was the moment when everything truly began.

Not at a salon.

Not in a classroom.

But at a small table in a shopping mall in China.
