Nail beauty industry has its own nail art knowledge. Different nail art pattern has its own different fans. The objective of the organization is to establish standards for competition judges, judge training and assessment so that competitions have equal standards of international judging. There is a new nails printer for nails decorations.
Until now different competitions operate under different rules and may have judges who have not been trained. This can create a not uncommon problem that one judges marks may be very different and inconsistent with the other judges. Also, if competitions operate under different rules how should we really compare the standards or winners in different competitions?
INES hopes to clarify these points and establish international standards. You can read an introduction to INES.
The standards are created and maintained by a group of Honourable Judges who are listed here. They will also provide training to new judges or experienced judges that want to follow the INES standards.
One of the nail magazines is running a wedding nails article in February and wondered if I could supply some nail designs. With the help of Bob as the photographer, plus Jenni and Frida as models we managed to create a series of photo's in a few days.
The first design below is a variation of the "putty technique" that I invented for the Valentine nails in a previous post. I call this method the "gel island" technique.
Both techniques are methods used to produce different shaped holes in the nails that can either be left open or form a transparent window - without using an electric file. In this design I used transparent gel with a hint of glitter.
