Entries were judged by Light Elegance UK co-owners & educators, Jojo Wickens and Leila Monroy, and Scratch deputy editor, Rebecca Hitchon. Jojo and Leila comment: “Animals bring us so much joy, whether it’s the comforting presence of a cat or the boundless energy of a dog. This design perfectly captures that happiness, with incredible detail and artistry that truly stood out to us.

“It’s a beautiful tribute to the pets that boost our serotonin and fill our hearts with love.”

The winner, Monika Ferreira, has scooped Light Elegance’s Happy Vibes neon collection in either ButterCream and Glitter Gel, or P+ Colour and Glitter Gel Polishes (depending on qualifications), as well as the LEDdot Gen4 Lamp.
