Nailympia Competitions global director, Alex Fox

CND’s Jan Arnold presents Katarzyna Kursynska of Ireland with the Top Individual Scorer award

An electric 2nd edition of Nailympia Germany in 2023

Nailympia Germany 2023 took place from the 31st of March until the 2nd of April 2023 at Beauty Düsseldorf, hosted in cooperation between Nailympia, SNI and Beauty Düsseldorf. The live event attracted over 83 competitors and the online categories 25 competitors. This totaled 108 competitors worldwide representing 4 continents, 23 countries and 470 entries across 17 categories – 12 live competitions and 5 online. The online version of 5 categories for those who could not attend the live event in Düsseldorf helped create the first hybrid competition for Nailympia Germany, which allowed those that could not travel to also take part.

All winners were announced on Sunday, the 2nd of April 2023 on stage at Beauty Düsseldorf in hall 12 on the Beautyfull stage nail, in association with Nailympia and SNI.

Organizers, Stefanie Lo Re and Ivonne Voigt state, “Hosting the 2nd edition of Nailympia Germany again has been a wonderful experience. The global director Alex Fox hosted Nailympia in Mexico in December 2022 together with Dafne Fernandez and in Orlando, USA, and London by herself. We were happy to have Alex Fox also in Germany present alongside organizers and judges.

The buzz was electric in the arena, the judges arrived a day earlier and were desperate to get onto the floor and feel the vibe, see the competitors, and immerse themselves in nails. This was a very uplifting event, hosted during very challenging times for the global industry and beyond. However, ‘nails’ was on the menu and ‘nails’ did not disappoint. There was superb comradery across the floor and intense, skillful nail work undertaken. It was a blessed experience for all and gave us all the boost we were searching for. Like-minded people, together for three days in the name of ‘nails’ was a truly motivating shared experience.

 

Alex Fox, global director, Nailympia Competitions

“We could not have imagined in our wildest dreams such a huge amount of competitors for the second Nailympia Germany event. Moving from 48 to over 100 in one year was such a positive response from the global competitor community. We were literally astounded to find 24 countries represented, which filled the team with hope for the future of nail competitions and the industry as a whole. During the three-day event, social media posts, generated by the spectators, competitors, judges and the Nailympia team, were flying around the world, giving it a global audience attracting wide reaching interest. The competitors, as expected, delighted with their imaginative, skillful and original artworks, while keeping the atmosphere composed, yet serious with strong focus alongside some light-hearted interludes. It really was a sensational event to kick off the Nailympia 2023 calendar, leaving the team excited for the year ahead and for the positivity it has garnered across the worldwide nail industry.”

 

Stefanie Lo Re, organiser Nailympia Germany

“Back in 2022 when we started organising Nailympia Germany 2023 I never imagined that it would reach such success. Every competitor and their models were so lovely and dedicated throughout the three-days.

“My goal for 2023 was that people felt welcomed and treated fairly. I was very happy to see that they also enjoyed making new connections and we all became like a family. It was exciting that the arena attracted the interest of international industry players who were at Beauty Düsseldorf seeking news ways to grow and improve their own respective nail industries.

“The blend of both floor and booth judges was in itself a special recipe for success and many new relationships were forged. I’m so excited for the future of Nailympia Germany and Nailympia Competitions worldwide.”

We’re excited to announce the winners of this year’s Nailympia Germany, which are:

It’s Back, It’s Bold & It’s Beautiful

The 16th Nailympia London is NOW OPEN for registration 

Nailympia London will host 5 competitions online & 8 in its London-arena at Olympia Beauty 2-3 October 2022

(Please note online competitions will close for judging on 19 August 2022 & results will be announced at Nailympia London awards 3 October 2022.)
The itinerary can be viewed here  – https://www.nailympia.com/london/itinerary/
“I wish I could express the excitement i’m feeling regarding the fact that Nailympia will be hosted in four locations this year,” beams Alex Fox, global director Nailympia Competitions. “Today Nailympia London opens its registration and to make it easily accessible, five of its competitions will be hosted online and eight will be hosted on the arena. Both will qualify towards the Global and Euro cups, so, even though the five comps will be judged in August, the results will be held a tight secret until 3rd October awards at Olympia Beauty.
“The last two year’s events have impacted us all and in the nail community we have learned to nail differently in order to survive. We put Nailympia online to keep it alive, to inspire nail artists to compete in a new way and to continue their nail journey in a different capacity, but nothing beats the buzz on the arena floor, the action and the passion behind the nails that is oozed by the competitors and mirrored in the faces of the judges. I literally can’t wait to feel that nail beast again!”
Nailympia London will offer an exciting blend of competitions over two days at Olympia Beauty as well as some exciting online categories that offer themes  such as Four Seasons, Royalty and Roaring Twenties with Reality Nails asking for nail art to represent a Disco Diva, a Winter Wedding Belle and a Cake Baker.
It’s a truly eclectic mix of competitions that will stretch imagination, inspire great ideas and sharpen skills too.
It’s going to be Bold & Beautiful !

Introducing Nailympia Germany 2022!

Nailympia Germany 2022 will be hosted on 4-5-6 March 2022 at Beauty Düsseldorf.
Top class champion nail professional, Stefanie Lo Re will host & organise the event, alongside her team partner, Ivonne Voigt, both previous Nailympia medalists.
“As a former competitor at Nailympia London it is a huge honour for me to organise Nailympia Germany 2022 in cooperation with the Messe Düsseldorf Beauty show. I’m a big fan of the competition and am excited to bring such a big competition back home. Alex Fox and Nailympia allow me to continue with my passion and share it with global competitors,” notes Stefani Lo Re.
“In the past, the Düsseldorf nail competition has been a highly revered event and I’m really excited that I’m able to bring ‘the competition of all competitions,”  back to the show and so now the sky’s the limit!
“Together with my team partner Ivonne Voigt, also a Nailympia winner, we will organise Nailympia Germany and create another great starting point for all nail designers from around the world.”

“What a location! It is with much delight and enthusiasm that I welcome Steffi and Ivonne to the Nailympia family. We have nurtured this idea for so long and its coming to fruition now is beyond exciting, both for me and the Nailympia team, as well as for competitors far and wide.
“This event will combine scores held over from Nailympia Canada 2019 and the ones to come from Nailympia London 2022 for the 4th Global Cup, which I cannot wait to pass over to the next global champion. Roll on 2022 – we’re back in the nail game.” Says Alex Fox, Global Director of Nailympia Competitions.
