Sorry I dont understand whats show and tell? Do you do a set on tips only and leave it to be judged?
Dear Fab Freak
there are 3 categroeis for nail art at tehe Nailympics.
Two are show & tell one is created on the day (Fantasy one-hour).
Mixed Media Nail Art & Airbrush categories
1 - This competition is a "show & tell" format. Nails are to be done on tips and placed in some type of covered display to be displayed in the competition arena. Covered displays may be bought or made.
2 - Covered displays cannot be larger than 10 inches in either direction and no more than 4 inches in height. Having a display any larger may result in it not being displayed and if it is too large, it may not be accepted. This is left to the discretion of the Nailympics staff.
3 - All entries are to be 100% complete before bringing to the competition.
4 - A full set of 10 tips are to be created and must reflect different sizes, as real nails do. Anyone using all one-size tip will have an automatic 10-point deduction to their final score.
5 - Maximum of 2 entries per competitor, each entry will incur a registration fee
6 - No entries left after the close of the competition will be returned to the competitor.
7 - All entries must be submitted by the deadline in the competition schedule, no entries accepted after the deadline on Sunday 20 March 2005.
8 - All entries must be left at the competition until the close of the competition on the third day.
9 - No entry will be accepted without a typed description of the work, including what types of nail art media were used.
10 - Competitors must use 3 of these 5 NAIL ART media: airbrushing, embellishments (rhinestones, striping tape etc), L&P, gel, hand painting. Failure to use three will result in a 10-point deduction for each media less than 3. No decals allowed. All three media used must be used in an artistic way, or they will not count towards the required 3 nail art media set forth by the rules. It is the competitor's responsibility to clarify anything questionable prior to the event and judges' decisions are accepted as final.
11 - No embellishment or L&P product may extend further than ¼" from the original nail surface in any direction, if it does, it will be a 10-point deduction
12 - Any embellishment to the actual tips, whether attached to the tip or not attached to the tip, will count and must not extend further than 1/4" from the nail surface or entry will be deducted 10 points.
