Time To Vote: Nailpro Cover Contest

May 16th, 2022

At Nailpro, we love showing off the amazing creations of everyday nail pros. Our cover contest gives licensed nail techs the opportunity to be featured on the cover as well as a three-to-four-page spread of the magazine.

Now is your chance to vote for the mood board you want to see transformed into the October cover set. On Tuesday, May 17, 2022, visit Nailpro’s Instagram to cast your vote via the poll in Stories. Make sure you are subscribed to Nailpro to discover the winner in October 2022 and see the cover nails!

Give it up for the top two mood boards (in no particular order) of the October 2022 Cover Contest.

Mood Board 1: Disney Villians

Concept: "My theme for this October’s contest is Disney villains. Every year since my kids were little, I would take the opportunity at Halloween to dress up as a Disney character! My favourite is tied between the Queen of Hearts from Alice in Wonderland and of course Maleficent who is beautifully evil!"

Mood Board 2: Technicolor Halloween

Concept: "October is my favorite month for nail art designs. I am focused on unique hand-painted nail art with bright, bold color palettes. I like to keep things a bit different and think outside of the box!"

Nail techs will be given creative freedom as they create a set of nails that coincide with the themes (see below) of Nailpro magazine. For a recent example, check out the May 2022 issue.
