August 2024 Theme🌠:
"Perseid Meteor Shower - Galaxy, Stars, & Constellations"
(Open for Submissions:
August 1 - August 15)
This month, as the night skies light up with the dazzling Perseid meteor shower of August 11th, we invite you to bring the beauty of the universe to your nails.
💪The Challenge:
- Create a Celestial Design: Think about what stargazing feels like—the awe, the mystery, the cool night air—and try to capture that mood in your design choices.
Get creative with your nail art and nail stamping techniques to mimic the textures and visuals of the night sky. Incorporate elements like glow-in-the-dark effects, sparkles, or anything that helps you bring the stars to your fingertips. - Upload a Manicure Video: In your video submission and note section of the submission form, tell us about any personal memories or fascinations you have with the stars. What does the night sky mean to you? How do you feel when watching a meteor shower?
