Squadron Goals: Who Won and Who’s Packing Up Their Brushes
Congratulations to Liina Leino for winning the first challenge of Season 4! She took the theme of destination-inspired nails above and beyond. Her video was equally creative and fun. The judges were over the moon with her set.
CND head judge Jan Arnold said, “EXTREME creativity in the selection of the theme and the design of the art! BRILLIANT!”
NAILS editor Erika Kotite remarked, “Wow — truly amazing and beautiful work. The tiny wired lights embedded in the galaxy nails are brilliant. Liina is fun and her video was thoroughly entertaining and informative.”
NAILS’ senior art director Danielle Parisi said, “Very creative. Love how you thought outside of the box. Great job tying every nail into your theme. Great placement of the dog in the astronaut suit. It balanced your other nail objects and was a fun part of your design. I never think of outer space as a travel destination, but now I want to go to the moon!”

Liina will receive a prize pack from Gelish ($500 value).
The nail tech who is packing up her paintbrushes this week is … Katey Laurenson. Katey, you challenged yourself by stepping into the competition arena and we couldn’t be prouder of the work you’ve created for NTNA. We know this is just the beginning for you, and we hope that you continue to compete in nail events around the world.
This won’t be the last time you hear from Katey. She will move on to CND’s Last Chance Design Lab where she’ll have one last chance to stay in the competition. Check back next Friday to see who will go head-to-head with Katey in the first Last Chance battle of Season 4.
Tune in Monday to find out the next challenge and vote for your favorites! Good luck to our remaining 11 competitors!
