By Rebecca Hitchon | 26 January 2026 | Events, Nail Art, News
The winner of the Scratch Snap nail art contest for January is Bristol nail pro, Kellie Sanfiz-Gould.
In a showcase of talent, UK&I techs created salon-style nail designs inspired by theme, Frosted Fingertips, in the bid to win an Artistic Nail Design prize.

Entries were judged by Victoria Trafford, Artistic educator & brand manager at Sweet Squared, and Scratch editor, Rebecca Hitchon.
Victoria comments: “The nail enhancements by Kellie were executed to a very high standard. All nails were consistent in length and shape, and the surrounding skin appeared healthy and free from dust. The design perfectly captured the brief, Frosted Fingertips.
“Kellie’s use of encapsulation added beautiful depth and dimension, while the inclusion of crystals introduced an extra layer of interest. The image was well photographed, with a clear focus on the nails, allowing the attention to detail in this style to truly shine.”
Kellie Sanfiz-Gould has scooped an Artistic Nail Design bundle featuring Colour Gloss Gel Polishes, a Chrome Pen, Flash Glitter, a Cream Gel Palette and Art Gels.
