Whew....
Arrived back from London's ExCel Professional Beauty/Nail show from this past weekend.
Out of all of the freaking shows I have done in the past... This one has to have been the funnest.
To the countless Geekettes (in and out of Layla's superb Geekwear) I can only say... you rock for making the time to say a quick 'hi'. It was too cool to see the site has helped to cultivate so many friendships.
To Ruth and Faye: You guys rock for your placements in the competition with Fabric#. I thought your nails were gorgeous... Guess the judges thought they were pretty nice as well as they thought they were Liquid and Powder. In all honesty... I thought it was a bit pants that they lumped Wraps in with Liquid and Powder anyway.
To Marco, Nikki, Justine, and anyone I have just spaced off (as well as to the others that placed, but were not announced)... Congratulations on your accomplishments.
Nikki won Sculpting, Marco won Tipping, and Justine won Winner o Winners.
To Liza... You are a true competitor mentor that always wins hands down.
Cheers to Antony who gave me a couple of stellar specialty items for creating wicked C-Curves whilst sculpting... they are tres cool.
The only disapointment to the day was the black tie awards that evening. It would have been nice to have watched the award go to someone who has made a decent contribution to the industry like Jaqui Jefford.
As soon as I get the Press Release for all competitors for the comp... Ill post a followup to the results.
Congrats to all... and thanks.
Here is another thread regarding the show.
