Nailympia Online Launches to meet Nail Artists Needs

01 October 2020 | News

Nailympia is launching online to meet the needs of the industry and the artists who have missed out on live competitions during the last year. The postponement of every Nailympia location for 2020 has been a huge blow to the nail industry competition community across the globe and so an online alternative has been devised to get the nail community excited and motivated.

Thirty renowned and respected judges have joined this new Nailympia initiative; Jan Arnold, Elaine Watson, Marian Newman, Alisha Rimando, Antony Buckley, Krasimira Petrova Krumova, Jeanette Ulriksen, Joanna Bandurska, Madelene Wolf, Jacquline O’Sullivan, Anneke van de Sar, Reni Mobrandt, Viv Clements-Simmonds, Catherine Wong, Lisa Boone, Aliz Dora Toth, Steffi Fowler, David Fowler, Sam Biddle, Gemma Lambert-Lewis, Jai Harvey-Yin, Hazel Dixon, Samantha Goddard, Sue Marsh, Rebecca Manz, Valerie Ducharme, Lauren Wireman, Kirsty Meakin, Viktoria Prihodko and Rodica Munteaunu.

So, to fill the niche and excite the artists, Nailympia will offer 12 competitions online. These comprise…

1 – Poster – Manicure – French or colour (no art)

2 – Poster – Feet (any design)

3 – Style for Business Card/Menu – natural nail chic (nail polish/French/natural look)
