Our winners are @Dixie Speer @Barbara Gregory @Deidra Day Butma ❤️🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼 I chose 3! Your mystery prizes are coming! 🎁 There were so many incredible entries. I love how each artist really made it their own and played with the color, especially! To everyone who entered: thank you for practicing, creating, and putting your work out there. I’m so proud of this community. ❤️ Next up: GLOW. Your turn to shine! ✨ Congratulation to our winners and make sure you enter our October contest!

(omg hehehe I cussed in a HEADLINE lol not sorry) The SPIDERS IN THE PUMPKIN PATCH challenge is officially CLOSED, and I need you to understand something: YOU SHOWED UP. Like… REALLY showed up. 😭 I have been watching these entries come in and there are SO MANY of you who took the theme, interpreted it in your own completely different way, practiced something new, pushed yourselves creatively, and actually PUT YOUR WORK OUT THERE. And THAT is what this challenge was really about. I do not want to casually toss a winner into the feed and move on. We are making a BIG DEAL out of this. I need the whole weekend to absorb it all. I'm going to put it on my TV in my house and admire it all like an art gallery! I'll share what I create! I think I'll cry thinking about all of the beautiful energy that went into creating these, and then where that deposit into yourself and your artistry will take you in the future. It really is exciting to think about the possibilities. In the meantime: IF YOU ENTERED, COMMENT BELOW AND SAY “I DID IT.” Or you can drop your favorite cuss word, OMG just kidding. I want to see exactly how many of you participated because this challenge absolutely blew me away. And if this was your first Nail Skool challenge? (or challenge with me) I hope you realize you just became part of something we are going to do again and again and again. 🥹🕷️🎃 You made Nail Skool feel like a real freaking SKOOL this month. Thank you for playing with me. ❤️

While building our Nail Career Mountain Map, I was asked about the wildest thing I’ve ever sculpted. This was a NAILS Next Top Nail Artist fantasy challenge: a snow globe breaking open sideways, sparkling water flying out and a winged elephant escaping—all created from NAIL PRODUCTS. Nail care can be basic human care. It can also be completely unhinged avant-garde art. SAME INDUSTRY. 💅 What’s one nail-industry mountain you’ve climbed—or would LOVE to climb—that people might never expect?

TIME TO PLAY. (there's a REAL PRIZE THAT COMES IN THE MAIL) Your challenge is to take the Spiders in the Pumpkin Patch https://www.skool.com/nailskool/classroom/bf073ada?md=97f53de42949484cb010c79b2023becblesson, learn it, and create YOUR version. You do not have to copy ours exactly. I want to see what YOU do with it. 🏆 THE PRIZE: (you know I FREAKIN LOVE TO DO PRIZESSSSSSSSSSS) One winner is getting a MYSTERY BOX OF NAIL SUPPLIES curated personally by me (OR if you already have to much nail crap, you can choose to PAY IT FORWARD to someone else in here). No one will know what’s inside (except me of course mmuuuaaahahahhahahahahhaah). I’m not showing you what’s inside. I’m not telling you what’s inside. 😂 TO ENTER: Create your Spiders in the Pumpkin Patch nails and post your finished work here in Nail Skool by September 30 at 11:59 PM ET. I’ll choose the winner based on creativity, execution, and how you made the challenge your own. 🚨 HEADS UP FOR OCTOBER: October’s Nail Skool Challenge is GLOW. If you need glow products, grab them NOW. The Wildflowers glow stuff is currently on clearance for practically nothing, and when it’s gone, it’s gone. NOW GO MAKE SOME TINY SPOOKY STUFFFFFFFFFF. 🎃🕷️
