NAILING LONDON
The biggest and best nail competition lands in London for 3 days (Sept 17-18-19 2011) at Olympia Beauty. Fingers ready…..
The Nailympics Competition has been the leading international nail tournament and drawn thousands of competitors from over 50 countries worldwide at its various global locations since its inception 10 years ago. From Las Vegas to London the Nailympics has created an artistic atmosphere where a beginner or seasoned professional nail technician can test their skills against the best competitors in the world.
The Nailympics' mission is to provide a venue for technicians of all skill levels to compete and receive a fair assessment and at the same time, be exposed to international talent to network with and learn from.
With the addition of more categories the Nailympics London 2011 will be over 3 days for the first time. "We're expecting this year's competition to be the highest standard yet, there's high hopes for 2011" according to Alex Fox, the competition organiser.
The UK has hosted the London since 2005 and year-on-year has seen a growth in competitors and sponsors. For 2011 it sees 9 industry sponsors: Scratch, Gloss, Nailure, REM, CIBTAC, Artistic Nail Design, Hand & Nail Harmony, EzFlow, Cuccio, OPI, IBD and Nubar. Last year saw 325 competitors over the 3 divisions and 10 different disciplines. Over 26 countries were represented. 2011 is on course to exceed this substantially. This is due in part to the phenomenal coverage the competition received from the World's press in 2010 including full pages in the Daily Mail, interviews with past champions of ITV's Daybreak and coverage of the Nailympics London in over 75 different countries.
Judges, who hail from all over the world including Australia, Singapore, USA and Russia, are jetting in to support their UK and European colleagues. Head judge, Lysa Comfort has been judging Nailympics from its US conception back in 2001. Lysa has mentored many competition champions throughout her career and has been honoured to judge internationally. Leading the UK is Marian Newman. Marian proudly claims over 50 Vogue covers in her role as one of the top leading session techs in the UK today. Enjoying activities that include fashion week, editorial and celebrity nail grooming, Marian also writes nail standards, is chairperson of the Nail Services forum at Habia, is an author of technical journals and a product innovator.
