On Saturday, nail techs and nail art enthusiasts alike celebrated International Nail Art Day (first Saturday of August). The holiday was created by New York-based nail tech Mimi Wilson in 2013.

To celebrate the occasion, Wilson and nail techs Mimi Montague and Shelly Burns, hosted a scavenger hunt across New York City to find nail goodies sponsored by Color Club.

Next year, Wilson hopes to take the Finders Keepers game to a different city and hopes nail art fans will unite by wearing the same design that day.

<p>The INAD scavenger hunt was promoted on social media and even caught the attention of Instagramers Sonia Domingues (@badgirlnails) and Amy Tran (@amyytran).</p>
