The closing deadline for entering the first ever nail awards – The Scratch Stars – was last Friday 20 January. Nominations literally flew in and the team has been inundated with entries – nearly 1000 to be more precise.

First line finalists in each category, won’t have to wait too long, as they will be all informed over the next few weeks after the initial judging has been undertaken.

The awards ceremony is to be held at the glam venue The Café De Paris, where winners will be announced and a fun night of nail rocking will commence; so don’t miss out! Make sure you get your ticket by calling Pam on 01959 547 000. Guests can expect a exciting night filled with nail idols, bubbly, tasty canapés and play witness to nail history in the making.

Did you get chance to pop down to WAH Nails during December to try out its new Minx collaboration? Scratch hopes you did!

Minx-co-founders Dawn Lynch-Goodwin and Janice Jordan created a limited edition collection of Minx (featuring Golden Tribes, Rainbow Tribes and Cosmic Comic themes) that was available only at WAH Nails Topshop in its Stratford concession throughout December.
