For the multimedia nail art category, artists were instructed to create their works of art on ten nail tips of any shape using a minimum combination of five professional nail products such as liquids and powder, color acrylics, gel, color gel, nail wrap, polish, rhinestones, polish, etc. These works of art were then judged on originality, creativity, attractiveness, media used, combination, complexity, design, and overall impression.
