Victoria Trafford comments: 

“CND™ Bootcamp is about so much more than nails. It's also about personal growth and empowerment. I have formed relationships for life, and I am so proud of my fellow Booties. Each person put their all into this experience. I can't wait to share my knowledge with my students and hope to inspire them, just like my educator inspired me.”
