UK CND™ education ambassador, Kirsty Algouneh, has been awarded third place in its the brand’s international educator contest.
CND™ EAs from around the world were invited to enter, with the theme being ‘Springtime’. Firstly, the CND™ experts were challenged to create a nail art look utilising the shades from the English Garden Spring Collection and submit an image of their design. They were then asked to create a tutorial video of their look to inspire other nail artists around the world.
“I was delighted to receive the news that two of my designs were in the initial top ten,” explains Kirsty. “For the next stage we had to create step-by-step videos, and this was all new to me. I hadn’t really created videos before, although I do demo under camera for some classes.
“I was happy with my videos but seriously didn’t expect to get a place. When I heard the news, I was surprised and more than pleased to learn that I had been awarded third place!”
Kirsty’s tutorial video is available to watch on Instagram at @cndworld.
Recreate Kirsty’s design with this step-by-step:
