Beauty professionals braved the snow for America’s Beauty Show in Chicago on March 21-23 at McCormick Place. Events included the Beauty Changes Lives fashion presentation honoring Leo Passage, an emphasis on healthy living, a day for students, and a cameo by members of the Backstreet Boys. Plan on attending this show next year March 12-14, 2016.
America’s Beauty Show 2015 ended last Monday in Chicago, but the nail art is still fresh on our minds. While there was virtually every color of hair imaginable on the show floor, nail artists took it to the next level by bedecking their nails to show dazzling results.
Nail color for spring is all fun and games. Randomly choose from richly saturated hues or strategically stick to subtle colors. Convince your clients to take a chance on these seasonal shades for the ultimate win.
Young Nails CEO Greg Salo shows how the Caption Stamping Plate works using a spongey stamp. The plates are deep, and it can be used with Young Nails Caption polish or Young Nails pigments. Be sure not to clean the stamp with acetone. Use a lint roller or the sticky part of a nail form to pull product off of the stamp. The Caption Stamping Plates, on the other hand, can be cleaned with acetone.
NAILS got an inside look at Young Nail's new stamping plates set to debut this spring.

Here's a 10-minute recap of NAILS Next Top Nail Artist: Season 2. We selected 24 semi-finalists for our second annual NAILS Next Top Nail Artist competition. The field was narrowed down to our Top 12 after two pre-challenges. For 10 weeks in September 2014, we gave our finalists a new challenge each week to showcase their skills in creating nail art looks based on a theme created by NAILS and each of our weekly sponsors (Bio Seaweed Gel, CND, Dashing Diva, Entity Beauty, Gel II, Gelish, INM, It’s So Easy, Orly International, SuperNail, and Young Nails). In addition to creating their nail art masterpieces, NAILS Next Top Nail Artist contestants shot step-by-step tutorials, video demos, and shared their entries via social media.
Nail trends from the 2015 Golden Globe awards included metallics, berries, and a hint of nail art.
