MEET THE TOP 25
Revealed: the talented nail aficionados from across North America competing for the coveted NASNA – Season 3 champion title
Over 17,000 nail pros viewed the entry form for Season 3 of
North America’s Star Nail Artist
(NASNA), with 25 shining bright to earn their place in the contest.
This month marks the commencement of the first creative challenge, in which the shortlisted pros will each put their artistry, technical skills and imagination to the test in the pursuit of the NASNA trophy and cash prize. Six contest challenges will each unveil an artistic brief set by a sponsor, with contestants required to craft a nail design to suit in just two weeks – with an accompanying Reel-style video and write-up.
The submissions will be assessed and scored by a prestigious panel of industry judges, and the five contestants with the lowest scores following each challenge will be required to complete a Wild Card task to fight for their place in play. Their creations will then be scored, to determine who will be eliminated and who will move on to the next round.
By May 1, only three contestants will remain, who will travel to the Premiere Orlando event in Florida to attend The NASNA Party on June 6, at which the champion will be unveiled. The Top 3 will each scoop a cash prize, trophy and sponsor gifts, with the champion enjoying additional rewards.
Contest organiser and Scratch’s editorial & partnerships director, Helena Biggs, comments: “North America’s Star Nail Artist offers a platform for nail talent to be nurtured, so I’m excited to watch the confidence and creativity of its contestants evolve, and discover the stories and inspiration behind the works produced. The contest is an innovative and colourful way to highlight artistic prowess within the North American nail sector.”
