1st Place
Students, start your manicures. Chicago-based beauty school chain Tricoci University may be new to Indianapolis, having launched its first Central Indiana campus in 2012, but the students and staff are getting a head start on the Indianapolis 500 race excitement. On April 16, students participated in a manicuring competition to create an Indy 500-inspired nail design. The winners were:
1st Place
Tiffany Hallam’s nails celebrated the black-and-white checkered flag motif associated with Indy car racing.
2nd Place
Phylicia Woodson couldn’t resist adding some “backstretch” excitement by integrating a “fast lane” into her nail design.
3rd Place
Martina Williams’ manicure “closed the loop” on creative nail design by including a fully wrapped “track” between two of her hand mannequin’s fingers.
Congratulations to all of the winners!
If your students participate in nail art competitions, please e-mail photos of the winning designs along with a brief description of the competition guidelines to sree.roy[at]bobit.com to possibly be featured in Nail School News.
