The Canadian Nail Championship (CNC) , organised by Long Nguyen, announced its winners during a Facebook online awards ceremony on Sunday 21 March.

Alex Fox was invited to judge the CNC cover competition. “I was honoured and delighted to be asked to judge for the CNC on its cover competition,” states Alex. “The theme chosen for the competition is always a winner for nail artists as it affords so many avenues for interpretation, representation and expression. So, this theme meant I was not disappointed in the quality and variety of the work entered. There were very detailed, exciting and illuminating images to judge and the colour palettes displayed really grabbed my attention. I loved to see a lot of thinking outside of the box in both design and styling – everyone expressing their floral theme intuitively and individually. It was a joy to judge and explore.

“My winner was chosen ultimately because it works really well as a cover as well as a marketing campaign. It’s high fashion, beautifully styled, emotive, delicate and tells a story – all at the same time. The nail designs are intricate and skilled, while the overall styling feels like a masterpiece of artistry to behold – the entire image spoke to me and had a definite & flawless flow.”
