Nailympia is celebrating 15 years in 2019 at its London location.
To mark this super milestone in its history, a new competition has been created by head floor judge from the UK, Marian Newman.
The Joy of NaIls with Bling! will invite competitors to create literally whatever makes them most happy in the nail salon. Be it butterfly, pipe, edge or stiletto nails – be it encapsulated, embossed, mixed media, elaborate or chic – the nail artist is invited to create 5 nails in 75 minutes showcasing anything at all!
The only stipulation is that every nail must have at least 20% bling!
Judges will look for the following…technical prowess, expertise, balanced and even nail structure and shape, correctly positioned apex, originality in design as well as ‘wow factor’ delivered by placement of the bling!
This is the ultimate competition – it’s fun, exploratory and  experimental  – it requires creative expression while showing technical skill.
This competition will be held in the USA, Estonia & London.
