NAILCOMPETITION
NORTH AMERICA'S Star nail Artist
SEASON 2
The top nine contestants let their star signs guide their designs for the final NASNA challenge of the season
T he stars aligned in spectacular fashion for the final challenge of
North America’s Star Nail Artist
– Season 2, as the top nine contestants submitted celestial nail masterpieces. Set by sponsor brand, LECHAT Nail Care Products, the ultimate brief invited artists to take inspiration from the cosmos and tap into the symbolism behind their zodiac signs.
Each submission pushed creative boundaries, and contestants showcased exceptional skills across dramatic, elongated enhancements. From fiery expressions to ethereal, water-inspired dreamscapes, each artist translated their astrological identity into a work of art. The designs – and accompanying video submissions and write-ups, capture elements of their personalities through shapes, shades and striking sculpts.
Following the judging of these incredible creations, the stellar professionals behind them had one last quest: to complete a bonus challenge in the bid to gain precious final points. By the time this edition of Scratch lands, the points across all challenges – and the bonus challenge – will have been accrued, and a top three announced.
These three contestants will then journey to The Scratch Social at Premiere Orlando on May 31, where one will shine bright as North America’s Star Nail Artist – Season 2 champion.
THE TASK: Art & Astrology
Immerse in astrology and create a five-nail design inspired by both the attributes of your zodiac sign and its element. Choose the shade from LECHAT’s Cat Eye Gel Polish collection that represents your zodiac sign, and feature it most prominently within your design.
The five nails should be inventive, stylish and cohesive, and a minimum of two inches long from the cuticle. They must feature hand-painted art and at least one sculpted 3D element.
