Hand painting only – no airbrushing. This competition is an ‘art painting’ format. Nails to be designed on 5 different sized nail tips and placed together but not touching in a frame or display box. No decoration added to the display. No extra points for this. Do not stick the 10 nails together to create one large canvas or push them together – there must be an obvious gap between the tips and there must be at least 5 different sized tips used (5 different lengths). This is art on many tiny canvases.
