Mosquito Mayhem: New Study Reveals the States With the Biggest Bug Problems
If you're ever struggling for a conversation starter, this buggy bit of news might offer some appointment talk.
Beginning Sept. 12 you'll have the chance to take on the same challenges as the NAILS NTNA S. 4 competitors. Tag #GelishPlayAtHome to win big!


That's right, THE Danny Haile (nail tech and founder of Gelish) judges the entries.

Tag your entries #gelishplayathome so that those who follow the competition can get to know you. Your work doesn't have to be new either, so long as it fits the weekly theme. It's a fun way to make new nail friends from all over the world!

If you're considering applying for NTNA, there's no better way to refine your skills. Some of this season's contestants are past Play@Home winners!

Want to be in the pages of NAILS? There's no better way to get noticed.
Want a feature on NAILS' social media? Each week we post the winner's photo on our Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter accounts.

Every week we post our favorite entries (not just the winner) on the NTNA site.

Just because a former NTNA contestant is out of the game doesn't mean they still don't want to play. See how you stack up against some of the best in the industry.

If your goal is to become a better nail artist then you have nothing to lose and everything to gain. Plus, it's fun.
