hiya all
it is so great that there has been soooo much support for all of the competitors
but, even better than that, everyone is talking about nail competitions
as anybody who knows me will know, i'm a bit of a veteran on the competition circuit
over the last few years, the no. of competitors has dwindled considerably
the talk was that people were fed up with the same people winning all the time(i.e ketan & denise wright)
i've never understood this way of thinking, as, my 1st win was in a competition where niether of them were entered.
even thou i cherished my trophy, the achievment didn't come close to the sense of pride i had when i won the brit. nail tech. of the year by beating both ketan & denise :fire:
the point i'm trying to make is, the competitions wouldn't be the same if they were easy to win.
surely, most people r entering to gauge where they are at, competition wise.
once the bug bites, it's then meant to be a way of climbing that particular ladder.
i entered relentlessly, never knowing whether i would ever be able to be good enough to beat the people i most admired .
i would never've forgiven ketan if after, years of chasing him, he had retired from competing before i'd reached my goal!
so, to bring us back to 2day...
there r new "kids" on the block!
VERY WELL DONE TO NIKKI PORTWAY, JUSTINE CRICK, & MARCO BENITO.
all 3 have won previously & ALL 3 ARE CREATIVE AMBASSADORS! :fire:
at last we have a great bunch of people who are capable of winning.
this means that the catagory "winner of winners" is going from strength to strength!
i seem to be going in reverse slightly this year, as i started off with winning w.o.w's at olympia, then finished runner up in the brit nail tech of the year, then yesterday got a 3rd in w.o.w's!
will it put me off entering again?......
will it heck!
the whole point of this(essay length, sorry!) post is to encourage more of you to take the bit between your teeth & do it!
especially fibreglass techs as ruth said.
lastly (honest!) thank you layla for our t-shirts, i wore mine very proudly :goal:
