The folks at Light Elegance recognize how important skillful shaping is to the success of any nail design. With that in mind, they recently challenged nail techs to submit their best shaped nails to their Shape Up contest. To enter, techs were asked to use #ShapeLightElegance on Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram or enter at the Light Elegance Facebook page. “Over 220 techs participated in the promotion, and we saw a wide variety of excellent work,” says operations manager Joseph McLellan. The top three sets as judged by “likes” on the company’s nail art gallery were chosen as winners. The winners each received the new Lexy Line Pro Kit including a Light Elegance Easy Cure Lamp and a selection of Lexy Line UV/LED Hard Gels.
