The Irish National Nail Tournament returns for its second year at the Irish Beauty Show 2016.

With lots of new categories there's something for everyone, so whether you've competed before or it's your first time, this is certainly a nail tournament not to be missed.

Registration for the 2016 Irish National Nail Tournament is now open and alongside last year’s category favourites there’s also an all-new Student Snap Shot Challenge where submission can be made using smart phones or tablet technology making it even easier to compete. We are thrilled to announce that the theme for 2016's Boxed Nail Art and Photographic categories is 'Sugar & Spice'.

Following the huge success of this year's inaugural competition, we are looking forward to welcoming familiar and new faces to Ireland's most exciting nail tournament for 2016.

Prizes

Prizes for 1st, 2nd and 3rd places will be presented and the Overall Professional Winner will receive the title of Irish National Nail Tech 2016 joining Inga Balciunaite in the Irish National Nail Hall of Fame. Not only that the winner will receive continual exposure throughout the year and for a second year running the overall pro winner will also win a professional photo shoot with the image used as a Your Nails magazine front cover. “The experience is invaluable. You learn something new all the time, plus all the prizes are amazing. I was impressed with how well it was organised, the judges were very professional and well known and it was amazing to be judged by them,” says current Irish National Nail Tech Title holder, Inga Balciunaite.
