Top 24 Announced

NAILS Next Top Nail Artist Sponsored by CND Announces Top 24

The applications came in for NAILS Next Top Nail Artist sponsored by CND. We excitedly read through every answer, watched YouTube video diaries, gazed in awe at nail art photos, and scoured social media to narrow it down to the Top 24.

 

These 24 nail artists come from around the world, representing Greece, Canada, Australia, and the United States as they prepare to compete for the ultimate prize. You might recognize a few familiar names on this list, as we welcome back two semifinalists from last year, and even one of our Top 6.

 

Our Top 24 semifinalists possess artistic innovation, social media savvy, a diversity of techniques, and a passion for the industry. We couldn’t be happier to share their names here:
