During the Nailpro Nail Show, held on Aug. 20-22, 2022, in San Jose, California, the Master Challenge will test the skills of licensed nail professionals in four thrilling live competitions. Taking place on the show floor Aug. 21-22, 2022, nail professionals can register for up to two of these competitions:
- Hand-Painted Nail Art - Competitors will have 30 minutes to complete an original hand-painted nail art design on a set of five tips.
- Gel Polish - Competitors will have 30 minutes to complete gel polish nails on a live model. (Model will be provided by Nailpro.)
