I saw the nails and thought they were amazing!!!

Now I don't want to be a party pooper here but, as much as I admire the phenominal skill and artistic ability, I do fail to see how this applies to nails???!!!

The little designs on the nails were exquisite but little butterfiles and swans etc are in shops everywhere and they have all been designed by an artist at some point.

Now the nails under the pieces were something else!!! Truly amazing.

I don't mean to be a 'Grumpy Old Hector' (for those old enough to remember) but, personally, I would rather there was more emphasis placed on fabulous nail skills for the real world.

Amazing though they are and created with true skill, I think the West will struggle with the East on the dexterity of these designs. Me? I'd rather look at a fabulous set of nails that make the hands look great and have the mark of a great technician that 'gets it'

I agree that the work gets little exposure, I have only seen one airbrush pic and thats why I dont enter as what exactly is expected?

I work in association with Euro Fashions and they not only hold their own compititions they produce their own magazine, the owner has little regard for our magazines saying they are simply boring! His magazine on the other hand is full of compitition work, readers nail art, nail art supplied by product companies and a few pages of news n nail related editorial, all for about £1 - this is a magazine that I want! I do get it but its written in Polish and I have to get someone to translate!
Ok the Eastern Europeans do some wacky nail art but on the page its looks fab!

I saw the nails and have to agree, the detail and artistic ability was fantastic.

I'm with Glo though - how on earth can you create something like that in the time? I struggle to get a 'normal' set looking half decent in that time, let alone trying anything more adventourous!

P.S. Well done Layla for your second place, you'll have to let us know how you squish it all in to the time!

Thanks huni!! Was lovely to see you and the bump!

My timing was gpoing fine until I relaised I had 20 mins to handpaint a ballerina on each thumbs...I did one and threw some rhinestones on the other!! I had I think 2 mins to spare! All my paint work and 3d work was done within the comp time...I did tons of practise to get my times down!
