NAIL RELATED QUALIFICATIONS & ACHIEVEMENTS
COMPETITION CIRCUIT
I first entered the competition circuit in February 2005 and since then have found it to be the best education I have received. After the results are announced, you are given your score sheet which gives the score of each of the judges for 10 aspects of judging the competition nails. You also have the opportunity to get feedback from the judges who are industry leaders. My first priority when entering is that I produce nails which I am proud to show off; secondly that I learn from the experience; and thirdly that I enjoy the experience. The following are the result of my competition entries:
