Congrats to Nic, the winner of this week’s challenge, on her beautiful futuristic monogram and logo look!

The sixth challenge this season asked contestants to design using KUPA’s MANIPro Glo Lamp, a luxurious salon accessory, as inspo. The arm rest is modeled after popular designer monogram prints like that of Louis Vuitton. For this challenge, artists made their own pattern or print and illustrated it across five nails. This print MUST contain their monogram and because this is a KUPA challenge, ONLY KUPA’s signature colors (red, white, and black) can be used.   

Congrats Nancy on your first win of the season! The judges were blown away by your beautiful nails that pay homage to so many aspects of the industry we love. This artwork will be used by Beauty Changes Lives to promote future events and scholarship opportunities!

The fifth challenge this season asked contestants to choose a past Beauty Changes Lives Experience theme and bring it to life on runway-ready nails. To further celebrate the 10th anniversary of Beauty Changes Lives, they also had to mention how beauty changed their life in their video diary.

Congrats Marija on winning this week’s challenge! The judges loved this Schiaparelli-inspired set that played up the drama of transformative nail art.

The fourth challenge tasked contestants to use KUPA EnrichRX to take nails from work/everyday to play.

Congrats Nic on capturing your first win of the season! The judges thought your futuristic set was over the top genius!

The third challenge asked contestants to look to the future and create over the top nail art using metallics and chromes only in honor of CND’s Future Forms.

Congrats Marija on this colorful win! This marks her second win of the season! These sets perfectly exemplify Mermaid and Pixie with a funky twist that’s interchangeable and cool.

The second challenge of the season asked contestants to show us colorful, interchangeable nail art inspired by KUPA’s Color Sleeves.
