Dress A Nail - Spring/Summer 2009

Here are the details you've all been waiting for... the Salon Geek Dress a Nail Competition

(I can't quite believe that it's been 2 years since we last did this comp!)

We have some fantastic prizes up for grabs:

Derek Murdoch ~ Afiniti ~ Nfu.Oh Master Artist 90 pc kit
plus an Nfu.Oh mixed media nailart box, hand picked by the Afiniti team.

Samantha Sweet ~ Sweet Squared ~ Mini Minx kit

Fiona Barron ~ Jewellery My Design ~ A handmade ankle bracelet plus a Nail Graphix colour of your choice

Adell ~ Nail Delights ~ Mixed Media nail art items incl 3d stickers and foils plus much more

A massive thank you to Derek, Samantha, Fiona and Adell for their prize donations

I'm looking forward to receiving LOTS of entries to do those prizes justice!

RULES

I've used the same rules as last time, they are as follows:
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

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?

Your judges are Fifitrix, loubylou & Purelynailz, thank you for giving your time ladies

I hope you all have fun and enjoy creating your entries
