"The first time I entered the NZ Nail Comps was to get me out of my comfort zone and experience the industry in a new way - I'm so hooked, 4 years later and I'm a regular competitor I'm also make sure to send the link for these comps to all of my students as they train, hopefully convincing them to compete too! The experience gained from this entirely different facet of the NZ nail industry is unmatched - not to mention this competition specifically is run so professionally and seamlessly which only adds to the overall fun at the event, too! I so highly recommend these comps for upskilling, networking and getting creative!"
