NAILS Next Top Nail Artist S.3: Challenge #7 (Picasso-Inspired)

NAILS NTNA Challenge #7 is sponsored by China Glaze. To celebrate Pablo Picasso’s 134th birthday, the contestants were asked to paint a Picasso-inspired masterpiece on a single hand. This was a hand painting challenge so only acrylic paint and polish were allowed. Polish had to make up at least 50% of the final design.
