I just received the first entry to this year’s Mini Masterpiece Contest — a terrific Picasso! I hope all of you who are skilled with a paintbrush will enter this year’s competition. The goal is simple: to faithfully reproduce a well known work of art on a single nail tip. You’re free to select any famous painting and you may turn the nail tip sideways to accommodate a horizontal painting.

All entries must be received by NAILS by May 12, 2010.

Send your nail tips to Mini Masterpiece Contest, NAILS Magazine, 3520 Challenger St., Torrance, CA 90503. Let us know the artist’s name and the title of the original work of art and don’t forget to send your contact information, including phone number and e-mail address.
