Congratulations to Jodie Rahaley, who took the top spot in this year’s Mini Masterpiece nail art contest after entering the two previous years. Her detailed, contrasting rendition of “Urban Expressions” by Michael Lang impressed the judges. Other beautiful entries ranged from the ever-popular Vermeer to Dali and Basquiat.
NAILS would like to salute all the masters of their craft who submitted entries to our annual Mini-Masterpiece Contest. Special congratulations go to Vaida Indrasiute-Stefanek of Wisconsin Dells, Wis., who took on Van Gogh and triumphed.
"Crazy good" is how one of our judges described the extraordinary batch of entries we received for our Mini Masterpiece contest. With jaw-dropping precision and exceptional skill, our readers managed to successfully capture the essence of many of the world's most celebrated paintings on a tiny nail tip.
Mixing the classic with the modern, Lichtenstein, Magritte, Van Gogh, and Kandinsky were all represented in this year’s crop of winning mini-masterpieces. Prepared to be amazed at the skill and precision evident in all these entries.
Congratulations to Michelle Whitaker of Salon Legacy Nails in Rolla, Mo. This self-taught artist earned a win by capturing the moody beauty of a Leonid Afremov painting. And be sure to take a look at the other outstanding entries in this tough field.

Mini polishes may be small in scale, but they are consistently best-sellers throughout the year. As demand rises, more manufacturers are expanding their permanent mini collections and some are creating new lines of minis for the first time.
