THE RULES

  • Entry is free!
  • Any nail system or technique can be used – it’s completely your preference.
  • 3D/4D work and extreme shapes are permitted, but the nail look must be a reasonable salon-friendly design (created in an average appointment time).
  • The nail style must reflect the month of entry’s theme.
  • The design can be completed on yourself, nail tips or a client, and must be showcased across a minimum of four nails.
  • Multiple entries may be submitted.
  • Individual feedback is not provided.
  • Open to UK&I-based entrants only.

The judges examine the entries using the below criteria:
  • Instant impact: Does the nail design have ‘wow’ factor?
  • Interpretation of theme: Has the theme been interpreted in a unique way? Can the theme immediately be seen in the nails?
  • Clarity of photograph & nails: Is the image clear and completely in focus? Are the nails well photographed?
  • Nail finish: Is the design finished to perfection, and the nail art executed flawlessly? Are the nails even in shape and form? If the design is on a person, does the surrounding skin and cuticle area look healthy?
