The Beauty Changes Lives organisation is committed to uniting the beauty industry to support the next generation of beauty and wellness professionals. Since its inception, the foundation has awarded over $2.8 million and over 620 scholarships to cosmetology, nail, massage, make-up, barber and aesthetics students. BCL is also a proud partner of The World’s Star Nail Artist competition.

At a recent Beauty Changes Lives event in Chicago, a spoken word poem was shared with the audience, titled “Shine the Light.” For this challenge, you’ll be using the Shine the Light poem as inspiration to create a set of 10 nails. Nails can be created using any medium, but they must be shiny (no matte finish) and they must contain a light-up element somewhere in the design.

Poem

Particulars: 

  • Nails for this challenge should be shown on 10 nail tips (not on an actual hand). Nail tips can be combined or shown in anyway, as long as there are 10.
  • In your video diary for this challenge, please explain how beauty has changed your life in addition to showing us as much technique as possible in the 5-7 minute video.

Watch WSNA game master, Winnie Huang, shares the challenge brief:

Deliverables

1. Submit one final image of each individual nail and 5-10 images of your entire nail creation, from a variety of angles: 15-20 images total.

2. A 5-7 minute video diary detailing your inspiration. Show as much technique as you can. Videos should follow this loose outline:

  • Intro (Welcome us on camera, take us through inspiration of challenge; no need to rehash the challenge word for word).
  • Technique (show innovative/major techniques that prove you did these nails).
  • Any Pro Tips you want to share.
  • Closing.

NOTE: Videos should be filmed in 9:16 Vertical format (e.g. Instagram Reel/Story or TikTok style).

3. A write-up explaining how your design was created (500 words maximum). The write-up does not need to be word for word what’s in your video. Rather, use this space to explain anything that couldn’t fit in your video or extra inspiration details.
