Show attendees were abuzz with the announcement of Top Gun, NAILS Magazine Show’s newest competition.
Winning nail competitions could get you noticed. How about being called to endorse nail products? Add to that starting your own product line! The sky's the limit for technician Kim Morgan.
“Competition is in my blood,” says the husband, father, and former high school athlete.
"Manicure table manners" are rewarded
NAILS Magazine Shows made continuing education a priority at its New Jersey show held September 11-12. For the first time, all classes and seminars were free for attendees at this show. Class attendance was sold out.
When NAILS Magazine phoned nail technician Kim Morgan to ask her to do the nails for the July cover, she was ecstatic.
People now want natural-looking nails, and pink and white nails look very natural,” says Katrina Rouillard of her favorite technique. “I do sculptured acrylics with forms, again because I think acrylics with forms look more natural than tips. I use plain pink and white powders.”
Top nail competitors Connie Ortiz and Anita Lime discuss what they like and don’t like about acrylic and fiberglass system.
Competition is rivalry between skilled persons, and the theory that once you have competed and won, you should step down is absurd.
Nail shows are a part of our industry that I think the average nail technician overlooks. There is more than just product discounts offered at these shows. The education is invaluable as well as the opportunity to share ideas with other nail technicians.
