** Same rules apply with stampers as they do with decals.


How to submit your entry:

YOUR DESIGN MUST BE YOUR OWN WORK ON YOUR OWN NAIL/S!
This means applying the design to your nails yourself, you can replicate other designs you have seen, but it must be applied by you, to your nails. You may do a series of designs that tie in with the theme across all 5 nails, or you can do one singular design on one nail, it's up to you!

When submitting your entry, 3 photos will need to be included. (You may post more than one photo of your actual design, but only the one you nominate will be used for voting)

• A close up of your nail/s with your design

• A shot of your entire hand with your MUT username written on the top of your hand

• The items you used for your nail art design

[shyiskrazy2]

Has anyone entered yet?

[GlamazonBeauty]

Wow this is so awesome, I wish I could do nail art like that! Good luck to everyone!

[MakeupByMe]

I so Want to enter I love doing nail art

[Bec688]

Looking forward to seeing your entries ladies You don't have to have designs as fancy as above, they're just there for inspiration. It could just be a coloured themed design, it doesn't have to be intricate - as long as it fits in with the theme, you can do anything!

[Delaynee]

Thank you for clarifying some things for me

I finally have some days off - time to work on my entry!!

[mollydolly]

does it have to be your natural nails or can you do it on acrylics?

[Fataliya]

Bah, I'd love to enter, but I just don't have the time (or supplies, actually, lol) to do my nails.

I AM looking forward to seeing all the entries, though!!

[Bec688]

does it have to be your natural nails or can you do it on acrylics?

That's fine Remember has to be your own work though!

[Delaynee]

Just a quick question..

If we put in an entry (I did one, but not totally happy with it) can we change it? Orrr would it be better to just wait and not enter anything until you're (me) happy with it? I will hopefully get a chance to work on a better entry tomorrow, but just wondering if I don't yet, should I enter what I have and just change it later if I come up with something better?

If you can decipher my question out of that, that would be great

I'd probably wait til you are happy with your design, there's still a little while to go before the comp ends, so give yourself that extra time to get your entry to where you're happy

[mebs786]

Cant wait to see the entries. I have never tried nail art but I will give it a try and see how I get on..

[Tony-admin]

I twittered this competition!

[Bec688]

Thanks T!

I saw this kit up close and personal (my little niece got one) this past weekend at a kiosk at the mall. It does some amazing looking nail art in a second. This is a great prize. I am wondering? I do not have long nails, does it have to be fingernails? Or could we do our toes?

[Bec688]

I don't see why not! If you'd like to do your toes go for..just remember to write your username on your foot lol

[Mylala88]

mannn i spent all afternoon on my design and now i can't get a good focused picture of my nails for the life of me!

[Killah Kitty]

Im going to try this one

I have a question... does everyone that enters get a chance at winning the prize? Or does the person that wins the poll get it?

Im no expert but I want to give it a chance... and just wonder even if I don't win, do I still have a chance?

[Bec688]

Everyone that enters this comp has a chance of winning. Whoever gets the most votes on the poll wins.
