About competition

The competition is designed with the mission to provide professionals – nail technicians and pedicurists – a unique online platform where everyone can create their personal profile and an impressive gallery of photos. This is your chance to promote your professional activities, showcase your talent, and attract new clients who will appreciate your skills.

On this platform, you will have the opportunity to display your finest nail and pedicure designs – true masterpieces created by you in your professional practice. But that’s not all!

After the jury voting (after August 6, 2026), each participant will have the right to promote their participation in the competition on social media platforms of their choice in order to attract positive votes and support from their community. Until then, we kindly ask you not to share your works and projects on social media. It is important to maintain the anonymity of the projects until the jury voting stage is completed.
