Categories

Everyday Art

This category is dedicated to the go-to designs you create on a regular basis—clean, simple, and classic sets that showcase your everyday artistry. It’s perfect for those beautiful, well-executed looks that may not fall into the more intricate or avant-garde categories but still deserve to shine.

Floral / Nature

This category highlights nature-inspired designs with a focus on realistic detail and artistic expression. Think florals, foliage, landscapes, water elements, and other natural scenery—anything that captures the beauty of the outdoors with a touch of realism and creativity.

Character Art

Let your inner fan artist shine! This category is all about bold, playful, and cartoon-inspired nail art. From beloved characters to animated icons, we want to see your most creative and colorful interpretations—no copyright restrictions this time, so have fun and bring your favorites to life!

3D / Extreme

This category is for the bold, the dramatic, and the completely out-of-the-box creations. Think high-fashion, editorial, and competition-style nail art that pushes boundaries—unwearable in everyday life, but unforgettable on the stage. Go wild with 3D elements, unexpected materials, and show-stopping designs. Let your imagination run free!
