Venetian Art in Vegas
"This nail design was inspired by my recent trip to Vegas. We stayed at the Venetian resort hotel, my favorite place to stay in Vegas. The art and architecture at the Venetian is so beautiful. There is something to see around every corner, amazing reproduction of renaissance art on the ceilings, and statues, art and colours everywhere you look."

"I wanted a rich Italian feeling in this design, so I chose bright colors and lots of gold. And of course I chose portraits inspired by the ceiling paintings."

"Finally, I had to add NFC flashing light chips in the sculpted eye accents because it’s Vegas of course! I hope you all enjoy these. Viva LasVegas!"

We've arrived at the very last challenge of Season 10 of our NAILS' Next Top Nail Artist competition. For this challenge, our final three standing had a unique assignment. We tasked Brigitta, Britt and Jacqueline with creating an amazing set of short nails, ones that would make us widen our eyes and say "Spectacular shorties!" The very limited design space certainly posed a challenge, but we think they each blew it out of the water.
Check out the artists' final challenge submissions in the slideshow above. We'll be naming an overall NTNA Season 10 winner in the coming days, so root for your favorite and stay tuned.
