Kenny Vo (Richmond, VA) creates a 3-D design on a single nail tip using a variety of nail products based on a "music" theme. "I listen to and appreciate all types of music, but it is rave music in particular, that inspires me the most. For me, rave transcends beats, notes, lyrics and instruments; it is an otherworldly force of immense energy that brings people together in unison and synergy. I wanted to create a nail tip that epitomizes rave as a whole, from the physical and visual effects, to the more spiritual and indescribable emotions that are felt. I have therefore created a bright, colorful and vibrant 3D flower, with each petal having a different color, and I have adorned the nail tip with crystals and colored studs."
Konstantina Tsihlas (Athens, Greece) creates a 3-D design on a single nail tip using a variety of nail products based on a "music" theme. "The first thing that came to my mind was Lady Gaga playing piano. I admire Lady Gaga because she is a good singer, she is unique and she is not afraid to be different and do all that crazy stuff. She usually plays piano at her concerts and it's my favorite instrument. I searched through the Internet and decided to make her with a bow on her hair because that was her characteristic appearance. I also wanted to create an MTV music award because it's the biggest prize-giving. Another thing that I decided to create on my nail for this subject was a CD case. Ι wanted my CD case to open and take out the CD. It wasn't that easy but I figured out a way to do it!"

I am so happy, excited, and honored."
