The competition kicks off January 6, 2020. Each week, two contestants will be eliminated. Since this is an All Star competition, there is no Last Chance Design Lab. Each week, a winner will be chosen and will receive a generous prize from OPI. The final two remaining will be flown to Los Angeles, where the winner will be announced in person at a major OPI event.
The winner of OPI NTNA All Stars will also receive a trophy, $5,000 cash, and the opportunity to partner with OPI as a mentor for the 2020 Beauty Envision Awards!
Each week you can keep up with the competition by voting at www.nailsmag.com/opintna and watching the KUPA Recap Show on facebook.com/nailsmag.
Judges for the competition will be OPI Global Education Design Manager, Darlene Sritapan and OPI North America Education Manager, Sigourney Nuñez in addition to NAILS executive editor Beth Livesay.
NTNA Season 2 winner Lavette Cephus will act as mentor during the competition. She will also be blogging about the competition and creating unique nail art inspired by the contest.
Good luck to the Top 10 as the countdown to January 6 begins now.
