The competition this year was in association with Scratch and sponsored by Le Chat, Kokoist and Gotti.
“Running Nailympia at Premiere Anaheim was such a blessing; it was an intimate yet high energy event,” enthuses host, Hemi Park. “I’ve always loved the hype and intensity of the competition arena, but this time, I was on the side of cheering everyone on – this is the best part of being an organizer. I worked with a host of awe-inspiring judges who were absolutely incredible to be around. I envisioned Nailympia Anaheim to be a friendly experience for all, and it really was. It became the perfect place for everyone to come and say, ‘Hi’ and ask questions. I got to meet up with many industry friends and the support I got was unbelievable and enormous.”
Nailympia & Premiere strengthen partnership for 2023 with 4 USA locations
Nailympia Competitions, the globally renowned competition organisation for nail professionals, is expanding into three further locations for 2023, owing to a strengthened partnership with Informa Markets.
The success of the Nailympia Orlando 2019 and 2022 editions will see Nailympia Competitions at beauty exhibitions in the following locations, in line with the Premiere group’s growth across the USA:
Nailympia Anaheim 2-3 April
Nailympia Orlando 4-5 June
Nailympia San Antonio 1-2 October
Nailympia Columbus 8-9 October
This expansion comes at an exciting time, since Informa Markets announced earlier this year that it has partnered with the BolognaFiere Group and the Professional Beauty Association to deliver a landmark joint venture, promising an impressive series of beauty events in the US beauty market.
Nailympia Competitions will be hosted in seven locations for 2023; London, UK; Mexico City, Mexico; Düsseldorf, Germany, and Anaheim CA, Orlando FL, San Antonio TX and Columbus OH in the USA, in partnership with the world’s leading nail magazine, Scratch.
Each competition location will offer six live competitions on the show floor:
UV/LED Gel Tip & Overlay, L&P Acrylic Sculpture (with Perfect Match), The Joy of Nails, Stiletto Nails, Salon Nails & Reality Nails.
There will be four turn-in categories, comprising Flat Art, Runway Nails, Invent A Nail Shape and Extreme Nails Styling poster. All turn-in categories will have a theme that will be announced before each event and Reality Nails will be themed on the floor during the competition brief.
