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.
First there were a dozen finalists, now there’s one winner. Nail tech Ruth Deruddere of Belgium captured the most votes in this year’s Cover Tech Contest with her oh-so-lovely nail design that employs a water-marbling technique.
When Headliners Salon in Las Vegas was chosen to be one of six salons to compete in the August 16 Bang Tuesdays! Hair Wars, salon owner Tzigane Osborne put together a team of experts to create a whole look — including nail tech Joy Yavenue of Nails by Joy in Henderson, Nev.
Congratulations to Michelle Sproat of Inspirations Salon in Kingsville, Ontario, Canada, for winning the 2011 Stars Photo Contest in the nails category.
