After six seasons of NAILS Next Top Nail Artist, the landmark reality-style competition announces its first spin-off. OPI has partnered with NAILS to launch OPI NTNA All Stars in January 2020. The first ever all star competition will welcome back 10 of the previous NTNA competitors from the past six seasons to compete for the supreme title in the nail industry.
Competitors who have not won a previous season of NTNA and are currently not working as a paid ambassador or educator for a professional nail brand are eligible to apply.
Beginning January 6, 2020, the Top 10 will face off in four back-to-back weekly challenges, each utilizing a different OPI medium. Each week, two contestants will be eliminated. The final two left standing will win a trip to OPI headquarters in Calabasas, Calif., where the winner will be announced live at an exclusive event and receive a sizeable cash prize.
NAILS has identified the next big names in the nail industry for six seasons and is thrilled to partner with OPI to add a whole new level of competition with this ultimate professional match-up.
