"Let me see your hands."
Your hands have held pain, wiped tears, signed papers, raised children, built businesses, served others, and carried things nobody knew about. Dr. Phat's story is proof that the hands that survived it can also create something beautiful.

The process
Every set has ten steps. So does becoming whole.
Sitting down honestly with where you are before anyone touches a thing.
Letting go of what was never yours to carry another day.
The slow, quiet work of loosening what refused to come off easy.
Cleaning up the edges only you knew were ragged.
Shaping the story into something you can finally live inside.
Laying the foundation strong enough to hold the new thing.
Sitting under the light long enough for it to actually set.
Choosing, on purpose, what you want the world to see.
Sealing it. Protecting it. Making it last.
Hands up. Nothing hidden. This is who I am now.
Meet the author
The hands behind the chair.
Niki, known to her clients as Dr. Phat, is a licensed nail technician, author, mother, woman of faith, and living testimony. Her clients lovingly call her "Doctor" because appointments in her chair have always been about more than nails.
Behind every set is a conversation. Behind every conversation is a woman carrying a story. Through I Nailed It. Period., Dr. Phat is finally sharing her own.
