SEARCHApplications came in from around the globe as the only online nail art competition for professionals asked to see the best that the industry had to offer. Many answered the call, but only 24 semi-finalists could be chosen.
The only professional online nail art competition turns five this year. To celebrate, NAILS and its sponsors are teaming up for the most rewarding season yet. An Applications Committee was assembled to review essays, videos, artwork, and social media links. The result is an international who’s who of the best up-and-coming stars in the industry.
This season, contestants will be competing with products from the sponsors. Pre-challenge play will begin October 30, sponsored by Swarovski crystals®. Season 5 will conclude at Premiere Orlando in June. Three of the 24 artists below will be flown to the show for the finale, but only ONE will be named NAILS Next Top Nail Artist.
NAILS & CND would like to congratulate:
Please join NAILS, CND, Akzentz, American Dawn, Bio Seaweed Gel, EzFlow, Gel II, IBD, KUPA, LeChat, Orly, and Wildflowers in congratulating our Top 24!
