Unfortunately, Amanda revealed that she did not pass her manicurist license exam.
In a now-deleted update posted to her Instagram originally shared last week, she said, "Since I haven't passed the board exam yet to get my manicurist license I started back at school to study manicurist theory and to practice doing acrylics before I take the test again so I'll be good to go when I get a job at a nail salon."
