9 reasons to apply to NAILS Next Top Nail Artist
A woman who takes a leap of faith.
1. Because it is a challenge with YOURSELF
Yes, it’s a competition, but the theme you’ll hear from any past NTNA competitor is that the real challenge is yourself – and you’ll do better in the end. Asking yourself to really take it one step further, to use your artistry and share it with the world – it’s a win-win-win situation. You gain self-confidence, competence and get to know great people.
2. Because you become an INSPIRATION
Ok, no need to go into the gory details of the pandemic, but times have been DIFFICULT over the last few years. What people need is something to look forward to and someone to inspire them. When you enter NTNA and take that leap, you have just inspired others to do the same.
3. Because NTNA affects every area of your LIFE
When you show up here, you show up more in your life. Be brave, take risks, it pays off.
4. Because your CUSTOMERS like to hear about it
Our NTNA competitors have shared so many stories about how excited their hometown salon or loyal clientele were about their trip and how they followed them throughout the journey. It becomes a wonderful topic of conversation and something to energize you and delight your customers.

5. Because NAIL ART is awesome
Maybe your loyal customers prefer a nice pink and white every week, or they prefer to stay within a limited color palette – all good! Love those bread and butter customers! BUT if you’re someone who wants to explore and play, NTNA gives you a space to nurture your creativity and take some creative risks.
6. Because NAILS needs experts
We’re always looking for industry experts to comment on the hottest trends, the latest techniques and best business practices for nail technicians. As an NTNA finalist, YOU become an expert for our editorial team.
