Just bought this bonsai from the flea market yesterday (1/31/16) & have no idea what kind of tree it is so I can give it proper care. I looked at pictures online, stuck between spruce & juniper nana maybe ?

Same, repeated question, same, repeated answer:
- That's not a bonsai. Don't buy 'bonsai' at flea markets
- 名媛直播 is not a tree species, so there's no such thing as a 'kind of bonsai'
- It's a juniper, a very young one

I honestly have no idea what I'm doing or talking about so please bare with me here. So bonsai is the art form in which you train the tree? If so how do I accomplish this with this juniper

Yeah, that would be about right.
If so how do I accomplish this with this juniper
Plant it in your garden for a couple of years. Meanwhile, start researching. In about 15 years this could become a nice, small bonsai. To make it a real good bonsai, take a couple of decades more.
