To run alongside the Beautyguild Expo this Spring, we are running another great photographic nail competition. The competition is free to enter and there is no restriction on the number of entries per person.

The theme of the nail art competition is ‘Born In The USA’. The entry can be produced using any system and can be natural nails or tips. Entrants must complete one hand only on a live model. No nail trainers can be used, and no 3D art will be accepted. Embossed and encased designs are permitted.

Canes and gems can be used with in the design, and there are no restrictions on the number of times you can enter.

Our winner will receive a special Guild Trophy and we have two great prizes for our winner and runner up.

Sweet Squared are offering 10 Minx veneers and the Perfect Colour Bolds Collection by CND worth over £100.

OPI are giving away an Axxuium Coloured Gels Kit. The kit is worth £250 and includes:
  • Axxium 18 watt UV Gel Lamp
  • Axxium dark gels kit including – Russian Navy, I’m Not Really A Waitress, Brisbane Bronze, Big Apple Red, Cajun Shrimp & Lincoln Park After Dark Coloured Gels
  • Artist series Sable mini gel brush
  • 120ml NAS 99 Antiseptic Spray

  • Table top instructions
  • 15ml BondAid
  • 180 Grit EDGE file
  • 30ml Expert touch polish remover
  • 180 Grit FLEX file
  • 25 lint free wipes
The closing date for entries to be submitted is midnight on May 1st 2009, and all entries will be judged by a specially invited panel of industry experts, including Sylvia Johnson, Gigi Rouse and Louisa Winfield. Winners will be announced on May 8th 2009, and all entries will be displayed on the Beautyguild.com website. A full list of judges will be announced on the Beautyguild.com website.

To enter, you should submit a high quality photograph. All entries will be subject to blind judging, so photographs should not include any name or identification. All entrants and models should be aged 16 or over. All work should be original, and no copyright or watermarked images will be accepted.

The competition is free to enter, you do not have to be a Guild Member, and you can be a qualified nail technician or a student. This is an international competition, so entrants do not have to be based in the UK. 'Before' images are not necessary, we only need the image of the completed nails.

All entries must be submitted electronically by email or CD. The entry must be accompanied by your name, address, job title, email, phone number, and the name of the competition you are entering.

Entries should be emailed to [email protected], and the name of the competition you are entering should be included in the subject line. CD’s should be addressed to the name of the competition you are entering, and sent to Guild House, 320 Burton Road, Derby, DE23 6AF.
