OK guys here are the results.

Drum roll please .......

We had two judges:
- Iryna Giblett: as most of you know, Iryna has judged nail art internationally including in Russia.
- Irina Zamostinchuk: winner of two 1st places in St Petersburg in nail art categories, also a Global Educator for our company.

Both judges judged blind - means I showed photo's only with no names.

The results:

1st Place : Olga Menscikova

If you didn't get placed - don't give up! We saw lots of creativity there that just needs a bit of nurturing on the technique. We loved looking at all your photo's and were more than amazed at how many entries we had. So much so - that Iryna and I will send you a little extra with the magazine

All the entries can be seen here: http://picasaweb.google.com/irynasnails ... LTIPSCOMP#

Again, sorry that we were late to judge.

We must do this again!

Big hugs from us!

Bob & Iryna xx

Bob, is there any way of getting some feedback on how we can improve for next time??? I spent 3 weeks on my entry (I made all those roses out of acrylic)

Their work is amazing.....but those of us who are not that experienced or have that much training had no chance.....I spent 3 weeks on my entry....feel like I did the best I could....

Congratulations to you all...... beautiful & stunning Nails + art work... I loved each and everyone of them.

You all must be really proud of yourselves.

Thank you Bob & Iryna for holding this fantastic competition, judging, and the prizes.

It would be a great idea for when you have time, if you would be able to let the girls know where they need to improve on their nails. ( that way, it will be really helpful for them )

Once again thank you.

[mwaugh]

Congratulations ladies!

I must say though, it wasn't really a fair comp.
It's ridiculous that beginners were expected to compete with the more advanced techs.

I think next time there should be different sections for levels of experience, but i think they were unsure on how many were going to enter, the response was really good. Maybe they will do that next time.

[carrollea]

i think that it was just a fun competition to spread the word about bob and iryna's products and for a little fun.

congratulations to all who entered because its a wonderful learning curve! I think all the entries were lovely! you should all be proud!

[trusim]

Hi girls,

I have just sent a pm to Bob & Iryna, to say a big "thank you".

But also when they do have time can they give you girls individual attention re: your comp nails.

so what ever you need to ask Bob & Iryna........ ( PLEASE PM HIM ONLY )

( I will go back through post and edit some of the things said, as not to embarass Bob / Iryna / Nail Tips.

Thank you.. and again...... you alll did beautifully..... congrats... xox
