I'm not going to enter the comp but I promise to buy at least one pair of new shoes in honour of all the geeks who enter

will it be judged in relation to practicality, both from the clients perspective and also from a salon timing perspective?

Judging Criteria

A) Style: Does the nail complement the footwear?
B) Workmanship: Overall view of completed artwork
C) First impression: “WOW Factor”
D) Use of colour and textures: The use of colour and other media, how well does it work together?
E) Application of Nail art and finish: Is the art work neat and tidy? Nicely finished?

The above criteria is what every entry will be judged on, nothing else

Anything goes, providing the finished toenails complement or match the footwear

I forgot to mention... I received the first entry a couple of days ago

1999judy · 30-04-09, 08:49 PM

Sorry me again....can you use a pic that shows the shoes and the name is inside them although it's not a copyrighted image as such?

Providing the pic isn't a copyright I don't see a problem, unless someone tells us otherwise

If in doubt you can always edit the name out of the shoe (or email it to me and I'll do it

)

Find a footwear pic (that shows off the toes) and dress a set of toenails (1 foot only) to go with it
You can use your own footwear if you want to
Real feet only
You can use anything you like to 'dress' the toenails
No copyrighted images allowed
Your submitted photo has to be a clear image
SalonGeek.com reserves rights for promotional usage of all submissions
All entries to be emailed to me no later than 8pm (GMT) Sunday 24th May 2009 (link in my signature)
Please submit your 'dressed foot' in the same picture as your footwear
OR
If using your own footwear then take the photo with your 'dressed foot' wearing the footwear
Other than that... anything goes

I just want to stress that the photo needs to be either the dressed foot wearing the footwear or a pic of the footwear and a pic of the dressed foot.
This is to make it fair for all entrants as the last time we ran this comp it wasn't stressed and some photos had more than one pic of the finished foot.

Thanks
