Wildflowers and NAILS Magazine collaborated to run the first Budding Artist Contest for students and novice nail professionals. The contest kicked off on May 15 calling for entries from around the country in two categories: handpainting and 3-D artwork on three tips. The tips had to illustrate a season. 

Team Wildflowers and the NAILS staff picked 10 finalists who then went on to complete another seasonal entry using Wildflowers products. After two weeks of public voting the winners have finally been chosen. 

Congratulations to Elena Rabaza (@salsarosanails) who won the handpainting category and Christina Mixson (@christina's_cosmetology _arts) who won the 3-D category. The winners receive a $260 scholarship for Wildflowers classes. Join NAILS and Wildflowers in congratulating these two artists!
