The Ultimate Mariah Manicure: Who Won and Who’s Packing Up Their Brushes
Posted November 22, 2013
Congratulations to Ryoko on your second win (and for advancing to the final round)! You won this week’s OPI Mariah Carey-inspired challenge and the judges praised your lovely color palette, your thoughtful use of “bling” elements, and your handpainted techniques. Many of our judges loved that you surprised us by creating a water marbling technique with polish for some of the nails.

For winning Week 10, she will receive a large gift basket with an assortment of OPI products worth $511. In addition Ryoko’s work will have the opportunity to be featured on OPI’s social media.
As the first of our finalists, Ryoko brings impeccable handpainting techniques as well as sculpting talent to every set of nails she creates. An avid competitor, we are always impressed by her detailed work and her varied skill set. She’s going to be a tough one to beat.
So who will Ryoko be battling in the final rounds of NAILS Next Top Nail Artist?
