3-D Nail Art

STUDENT / NOVICE / VETERAN

1. A 3-D Nail Art entry must consist of a set of 10 individual manufacturer tips. They may not be constructed by a lay person. They must be from a manufacturer box. The length of the tips must be no longer than 2” in length and no wider than 3/4” of an inch, if they were flattened out. Tips must be graduated in size. Finished tips must be wearable meaning, they are individual and able to be mounted to a base.

2. The design itself may be NO more than 1" (inch) in height, and 1"(inch) in width and be NO longer than 2". If the entry exceeds these dimensions the entry may be disqualified. Imagine a box 1" High, 1" Wide and 2" long now put your nail in there. It should fit, if they don't your work needs to be adjusted so it fits.

3. Tips must remain individual and not be secured to one another by any medium. Design may encompass all 10 tips as a picture, but tips must remain individual. If tips do not meet the requirements, the design will receive a point deduction.

4. The theme for each 3-D Nail Art competition will be announced before the beginning of the competition year.
