Serena Williams taking lessons to become certified nail technician

New York, Feb 18 (ANI): Professional tennis player Serena Williams is said to have enrolled in a 240-hour program to become a certified nail technician after she got back from the Australian Open.

Williams, 28, who loves to get her nails done, revealed she is taking classes in Palm Beach, Fla., in preparation for her upcoming nail collection with a company called HairTech

"No one likes getting their nails done more than I do," the New York Daily News quoted her as writing on her GlobalGrind blog.

"As a matter of fact I go every 4 days to get a manicure and every 7 days for a pedicure. So, I had a brilliant idea to get certified to be a nail tech.

"I thought 'Serena, this is a no-brainer'," she wrote.

She has even gone to the extent of making sure she is all prepared for the new venture.

"The night before my class I made sure I had all my tools, books and gear organized," she wrote.

"I went to the Hello Kitty store and bought plenty of containers as well as a backpack to keep my belongings. If I'm not the best, I sure do want to look like it," she added. (ANI)
