NEW Rules & Scoresheets for 2025
The Nailympia team is thrilled to announce new rules and score sheets for 2025!
This comprehensive revamp addresses common competition questions, unifies Nailympia events worldwide and offers clearer guidance for all participants. The rules have been refined and score sheets have been updated to align with these improvements.
All competitors are encouraged to read the updated rules to maximise their scoring potential. Notably, the UV Gel Pink & White and Acrylic Liquid & Powder competitions have been restructured, allowing competitors to select their preferred technique – whether Tip & Overlay or Sculpture. These are now called “UV Gel (or Acrylic) Pink & White Competition Nails.” Additionally, the Salon Nails category no longer requires a feature design on the ring finger.
More judges will now be present in each booth to focus on specific scoring aspects, benefiting both judges and competitors. Time adjustments have been made to some competitions, with certain categories receiving more time and others slightly less.
Be sure to review the updated rules and score sheets at http://www.nailympia.de to stay informed on all changes.
Registration is open for Nailympia Anaheim (February 2025) and Nailympia Germany (March 2025).

This brand uses AI to apply techs’ designs to nails & pays them for their art
Would you like to reap financial rewards from your nail concepts, and perform and showcase nail artistry at speed?
Meet Umia: the Canadian creator of a fully automated artificial intelligence (AI) manicure studio, which has gained global recognition since its soft launch two months ago and allows intricate patterns to be directly applied to nails.
The company founders, TX Qui and Modi Lui, came across a DIY nail stamp printer in 2018, sparking the idea to build on this product by addressing its limitations, from manual, complicated operations to poor image quality. “We looked into the nailcare industry and stumbled into a vibrant and dynamic world,” they say. “We conducted surveys on 980 individuals and uncovered three barriers that prevent people from fully embracing nail services: time constraints, high costs and potential damage to nails.”
Determined to break down these barriers, Umia embarked on a six-year development journey, creating eleven prototype machines and conducting more than 3,000 manicure tests. “We collected as much real-life data as possible: on nail shapes, curvature, texture and skin tone, and used this to train our precision algorithm,” share TX Qui and Modi Lui.
While addressing barriers to nail treatments experienced by consumers, the Umia team noticed challenges faced by nail techs. “Nail professionals often work long hours creating intricate designs, but without proper ergonomics, this hard work can lead to physical strain. Adding more clients per nail artist is not feasible when trying to grow a business, therefore solutions that can aid growth and profit are welcome,” notes TX Qui. “Our technology is designed to automate repetitive tasks, allowing technicians to focus on creativity and building client relationships, while reducing the risk of injury and burnout.
“Umia also provides a platform that allows nail artists to be compensated fairly for their creativity.”
Every time a client selects a nail art design via Umia’s system, the artist behind that design receives payment – similarly to how a musician or photographer earns royalties for their work. “Umia empowers artists to thrive in their craft, gain global visibility and create a deeper impact with their unique work,” comment TX Qui and Modi Lui.
With Umia automating time-consuming tasks involved in intricate nail art, professionals can serve more clients in a day, which helps to reduce customer waiting times, while increasing efficiency and boosting revenue and client happiness. Clients can browse a wide selection of nail art options, which have been designed by nail professionals, via the Umia app. Once they have chosen their preferred style, they can book a nearby automated studio.
“At Umia, we see technology as a tool to uplift people – not replace them,” reveal its founders.
“Our goal is to integrate technology into the broader beauty industry, making meaningful improvements and benefitting people worldwide.” The brand is proud to be sponsoring the Nailympia London 2024 competition and is exhibiting at Salon Beauty, 13-14 October, ExCeL London, eager to hear from the industry about how technology can improve their wellbeing.

The story of Glitterbels: the Staffordshire-born nail brand supporting techs worldwide
Professional nail brand, Glitterbels, has made waves in the industry since being founded seven years ago.
The brainchild of Newcastle-under-Lyme nail artist, Annabel Maginnis, and her husband, Elliott, Glitterbels was established with a focus on providing high-quality, trendy acrylic powders to the UK nail sector. Since then, the brand’s offering has quickly expanded to include gel polishes and paints, builder gels, tools, salon essentials, furniture and apparel, and its number of monthly customers reaches over 10,000.
Online and in-person training is also available via the brand, and its education team scooped Nail Team of the Year at the Scratch Stars Awards 2024.
“Our mission is to ensure high-performance products are accessible to all,” says a spokesperson for Glitterbels.
But it’s not just its products that have expanded – the brand boasts a US HQ, as well as its Staffordshire base in the UK, and is stocked in hundreds of beauty supply stores across the globe, from the Netherlands to Australia. With brand ambassadors worldwide, Glitterbels is dedicated to providing guidance to pros internationally. “Nail technicians who shop and follow Glitterbels feel more like a community, rather than a group of customers,” continues its spokesperson.
“With open support groups and a dedicated customer service team, Glitterbels provides ongoing guidance to nail techs. The team shares tutorials, blogs and live videos, with knowledge on how best to use products. The education team can also be found in the comments of social media posts, offering top tips and advice on any problems customers may be facing.”
Fun fact: One of Glitterbels’ most popular products is Brush On Builder Gel in Dolly.
A passion for community is also clear via events, designed to excite pros and immerse them in the signature pink and magical aesthetic of Glitterbels. In June, the DreamFest event in Manchester welcomed around 400 attendees to shop the brand, network, learn and immerse in fun social media activities, including celebrity fans of Glitterbels.
The brand is sponsoring renowned competition, Nailympia London 2024, as it marks its 20th anniversary at the Salon Beauty trade show (13-14 October) – where Glitterbels is exhibiting. Its dedication to encouraging creativity and supporting global talent perfectly aligns with Nailympia’s values, as the spokesperson concludes: “At the heart of Glitterbels is a passion for creativity. This is something we try and showcase within all aspects of our business, so we love seeing the talent involved in the nail industry and take pride in supporting nail technicians during their journeys.”
