The Sacramento show was the fourth and final event in the Nailpro Cup Series of competitions. With a grand total of 21 competitions over four events, it is the most rigorous nail competition series in the world.
Honestly, I don’t know of any other series in the world that spans the entire year. (That doesn’t mean there isn’t one, just that I don’t know of one.) Plus we have a very diverse line up of competitions.
Everywhere from Fantasy Nail art to Design Sculptured Nails to Salon Success. This is really the place to try your hand (no pun intended) at any number of things. And as an added bonus, they will be adding another venue to the series next year — Chicago.
We had three events, Flat Painted Nail Art, Sculptured Nails, and Salon Success. With competitors in both novice and veteran levels, that means six competitions total plus the Cup awards.

As for the Championship Cup, I brought home the “Gold” this time. (Truly, it is a giant gold cup!) Winning the Nailpro Cup for the third time in a row was amazing once again. This has really been so much fun for me. I hope others enjoy it as much as I have.
Congratulations to all my fellow competitors. See you next year.
