How "Nail Art Business" was born

 Hi guys!

I am in Grade 5.  My name is Aaratrika Chowdhury. I live in Mumbai, India. I love to do artwork. For a few years now I have been watching videos on makeup, jewelry, and nails. I love gowns and pretty ocean nails.

Until a quarter of a year ago, I had been looking for a quick and easy way to do my nails. Then once on June 15th Wednesday, I discovered a way to do my nails in between double math. All I needed to do was make a trace of my nails on paper, paint them, and glue them on! Wahoo! I couldn't wait to tell Radha my friend who was 100 meters away in the next class. I started counting (a good thing in math class but with not-so-good intention) "15 more minutes before break.". Finally, the bell rang. The cheering was usual in the break. We or rather the 32 boys were the most notorious.  

We had a class of 52. 32 boys and 20 girls. So naturally, every day was WAR! On one side that is. All the girls huddled in the other deeper part of the classroom to gossip about the newest trends, ads, and what they were going to wear at the Independence Day event. That day, I showed off my new nails. Then obviously, I told Radha. After school, on the bus, we had an hour through Milan Subway and into Santacruz East to admire my nails. We go to the same daycare as our parents are working and are uncomfortable leaving us alone. That day we created Nail Art Business.

We discovered new ways of doing nails and we reached the ultimate. 

On August 22nd Monday we received an order from one of my friends. She wanted blue and orange gradient waterproof nails. By that time we knew how to do them individually but we had yet to make them together.

The customer wanted her the next day. So we were scared. That day was a holiday so I had to do it alone. My hands were shaking when I clicked a picture to send Radha.

I was afraid the customer would not like it. But when she got it the next day, she was elated. I was so happy!

And that was the story about us. More blogs are coming up soon. Be online!
