Extreme Nail Art

Hired for a freelance gig last weekend, I found myself at one of the most interesting and undiscovered (by me) annual events in Las Vegas: the Nailpro Cup & US Invitational at the International Beauty Show. This indeed is the World Series/Super Bowl/Stanley Cup of nail art competitions. I have no regrets about waking up a 5:30 a.m. last Sunday in order to catch the start of the Fantasy Nail Art category. This year's theme was mythology and the nail artists dressed up their models in full costumes to go with the elaborate hand decorations. I say hand decorations because to call them nails is an understatement.
