Ryan Hobbs of @rocksta_ry has won Scratch Snap's December nail art contest. The competition challenged UK and Irish technicians to create salon-style designs around the theme 'Black Tie Sparkle'.
Hobbs' winning entry secured him Bluestreak Crystals’ Serinity Flatback Ultimate Mix, which contains 500 crystals. Judges Abi Middleton, director at Bluestreak Crystals, and Scratch editor Rebecca Hitchon reviewed the submissions.
The contest highlights the ongoing interest in creative nail art services for salon clients. While this event celebrates skilled technicians and offers a prize, it also points to opportunities for businesses to tap into themed nail art trends. The organisers are continuing future contests, suggesting a pattern of engagement with the technician community.
