The next big Russian competition is in St. Petersberg from Sept 14-19. Iryna will be a judge there.

As far as I know the details weren't published yet, but will be soon. If you like we can send these to you. Just drop us a line using Iryna's website form:
Iryna's Nails : Specialist nail salon in Stockholm : Nail Extensions, Infill and Balansing, Advanced Nail Art, Manicure

In the last competition in Moscow earlier this month by the same organizers the categories were acrylic/gel french, decorated french and mixed media.

Not sure if they will publish these in English, but we could help with translation. We could also help you find your way in St. Petersberg, get a hotel room etc. Most Russians don't speak English. You would need a visa and have to get this from the Russian Consulate in London.
