Fantasy nail artists transformed fingertips into tiny worlds at Nailympia in London, creating designs inspired by goddesses, Chinese folklore, magical forests and steampunk.
In the fantasy category, competitors had one hour to complete their creations, with judges assessing both the concept and the overall look. Some entries featured elaborate themes spread across all ten nails, turning each hand into a miniature scene.
Other categories focused on technical skills. Competitors worked on long stiletto nails, carefully filing and decorating them against the clock.
The event brought together artists from around the world, with judges encouraging them to develop their own style rather than simply follow previous winners.
