NEW global nail art competition

The Final Challenge

This challenge was due on the 17 July @ 8AM BST

Context

CND’s Summer Collection, Bizarre Beauty, is all about taking risks. This eclectic world of colour and playful visuals pushes boundaries while being maximal.

Colours in this collection are inspired by digital distortion and abstract paintings that converge with reality. Bizarre Beauty is a trip — an escape to a fantastical place, rich with heightened colours and primal-like visuals.

The Challenge

For the final WSNA Challenge, we want to see nail art that celebrates all things bizarre and surreal across 10 nail tips. Because this challenge is all about the unusual, there must be 3D elements, at least one found object (a non-nail art material), and no conventional nail shapes are allowed (oval, almond, square, squoval, round). The more bizarre, the better!

The Particulars

Nails for this challenge should be shown on two hands (10 tips). Nails can be sculpted or art can be done on tips and placed on a model (you can be your own model) using any mediums, but make sure at least one CND product is used.

Look to the June Scratch cover image and the above mood board for additional inspiration.
