Celebrating creativity, technique, and flawless results in nail artistry.
This category is open to nail professionals across all disciplines — including gel, acrylic, BIAB, sculpted extensions, and intricate nail art. Whether you specialise in subtle elegance or bold, expressive designs, this is your chance to showcase your technical precision, creativity, and client dedication.
We’re looking for nail technicians who deliver consistently high standards, pay attention to nail health and hygiene, and create a memorable client experience.
Consider the following when submitting your entry:
What services do you specialise in and what sets your work apart?
How do you maintain the health and safety of your clients’ nails?
What training or qualifications have you completed?
How do you personalise your services or designs for each client?
Can you demonstrate client loyalty, retention, or feedback?
This category is for artists who use nails as a canvas — combining skill, style, and attention to detail to deliver results that leave a lasting impression.
