THIS COMPETITION REQUIRES REGISTRATION:

Theme: Industrialist Couture 

Please note: This is not a floor or live competition format. 

There are 3 turn in options—Send your box via mail, courier or with another tech if you can’t be at the show in person.
1. Mail In by: Wednesday, May 20, 2026 
2. Turn in at Show Pass Assistance in D Lobby on Saturday, May 30th 
3. Turn in at the Competition Arena on Sunday, May 31st between 9:15AM – 11:00AM 

Mood Board Submission: Competitors must design 3 different nail designs they feel will interpret the theme on a mood board.

The 3 tips must be displayed in a simple way with a short explanation or visual sketch of how the designs fit the brief on a mood board. 

The mood board must be flat with no edges (not a box/not 3D) and must not exceed the size of A4 (8x12”). Nails must be adhered to this board. The designs must be reasonably easy and quick to reproduce (100s would need to be made for a fashion show).

Note that the main focus of a fashion show is the designer’s collection. Nails can be a ‘statement’ accessory but should not overshadow the complete look. Nails at a fashion show are photographed close-up for detailed beauty shots. The finished nail designs should include suitable shape and length.
