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?
