NAIL EXCHANGE WITH TAIWAN- Int'l Nail Competition

Taiwan's International Nail Competition. I'm invited to be on the Judging Panel, it is a curtain Judging. I like that fact, as this is the most fair method of judging till date.

This competition is very disciplined, starts & end as time stated on the official time schedule board. The recent Nail Asia 2009 Competition needed to learn from this, the extra 10 minutes for their French Sculpture Extension Category is a total shocked to everyone; not to mentioned the fact that the extra time was announced during the minute that time was supposed to be up.

Back to Taiwan's Nail Competition, I saw many life-liked 3D mixed media art. Also, the nail art from Russia was so finely drawn. It was an eye-opener and good platform for exchange. The taiwaness nailist works very closely with their product distributors to advance their industry.
We had agreed to bring nailist from Singapore to participate in their competition next year.

Judge Committee Meeting... There's difference in judging standards that needed to be straighten out before the actual nail competition. Even though China & Taiwan is so similar, they have so much more differences than we think. The lady in blue denim standing up is the Chief Judge, she is also the Chairman for the Nail Association of Taiwan.

NAIL EXCHANGE WITH TAIWAN-2 Days Nail Seminars

Exciting platform for the exchange of techniques and skills from all parts of the whole, from Russia,China,Taiwan,Malaysia and Singapore .

We were proud to to be invited to represent Singapore in this exchange seminar. The taiwanese are so passionate learners!! ^.^ They had never seen such detailed 3-dimensional arcylic embossed crafted inside such paper-thin design sculpture. There is not much empahsis on the correct & perfect sculpture in Taiwan. They are totally wow by our singapore nails quality!!

Representatives from Russian demostrated the arcylic nail extensions using clear & colored powder. The centre portion, which is in grey color polish, is actually clear colored arcylic powder. Nail polish can be colored to cover the clear arcylic, thus customers can change their nail polish colors all the time to suit their moods. This is very popular design in Russia now.

Airbrush demostration by nail compeition winner. Using pre-cut mask & serverl airbrush guns. Different techniques from us in Singapore. She owns her own salon & I think she looks very cute.

Demos by China representatives is mostly folk art painting on arcylic or gel nails extensions using colorful designs.
