The National Cosmetology Association hosted Hairworld Chicago at America’s Beauty Show. In addition to the numerous hair competitions at the show, there were also some really inspiring nail competitions. I got on the competition floor for the Fantasy Nail Art competition and snapped these photos. I love how the competitors go all out — they don’t just do an amazing job on the nails, they also dress their models up to match their chosen theme. Leave us a note — which of these designs is your favorite?
