It’s Back, It’s Bold & It’s Beautiful

28th April 2022

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 !
