Saturday, June 2, marked the official merging of two great events at Premiere Orlando. NAILS combined its NAILS Next Top Nail Artist finale with its popular Nailtech Networking Event. The combined event kicked off Premiere Orlando 2018 held at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, Fla. The reformatted party boasted the best of both events, opening the evening with networking games, photo ops, and drinks.

Valerie Ducharme was named the NTNA Season 5 winner, followed by raffle winner announcements, more photo opportunities, and massive celebrations. Attendees received a swag bag and coupon book (valued at over $600).
