The third edition of the Nailympia Anaheim nail competition welcomed 83 competitors taking 252 seats – 87 of which were in the arena during the two-day event at Premiere Anaheim.
Turn-in art entries and poster submissions were all extremely popular at this event, with Runway Nails, Gel Polish Manicure and Joy of Nails leading the way and Reality Nails taking pole position.
“I have been delighted to witness the growth of Nailympia Anaheim, in addition the steady growth of the competition in Orlando and San Antonio. Clearly, nail professionals across the USA and beyond are seeing and feeling the power of competing,” enthuses Alex Fox, global director for Nailympia Competitions. “It’s a very exciting time to see this power emerging and to recognise that nail artists see profound positives to their business lives when they take part.
“It’s not just the competition itself, it’s the people they meet, the connections they make that help transform and illuminate them. It really makes me happy to be part of this whole experience.”
