I wanted to share this work and also open a discussion, because not everyone knows that this kind of Nail Art actually exists.

There are professional nail competitions where nail art is created not for everyday wear, but as a full artistic concept. One of them is Nailympia, and I participated in the Extreme Nail Poster category.

This project was created as a complete poster:

– a photographer
– makeup artist (MUA)
– a model
– a retoucher
– and me as the nail artist

We started with a concept and a visual idea, then built the entire look around it.

The nails themselves are extreme-length stiletto nails and are made 100% out of gel. In competitions like this, nails are intentionally exaggerated, very long, dramatic, and sculptural, because they are judged as art, not as wearable nails.

This category focuses on poster-style nail art, where nails become part of a larger visual story rather than just a manicure.

I’m really curious what you think:

– Have you ever seen nail art like this before?

– Do you see this as nail art, fashion art, or something else?

P.S. This work won **1st place**.
