COLOUR IN MOTION: North America's Star Nail Artist S2 Challenge 5 entries

We’ve seen creative sculpts, extreme shapes and avant-garde styles appear throughout the Season 2 NASNA challenges to date, so for the penultimate task, sponsor brand, Gelish, centred artistry around colour. From the 25 shortlisted pros, just nine remain, who each received a package from the brand to tell a story through shades and design.

The talented pros used Gelish Soft Gel Tips in Medium Coffin as the base for their designs, and were gifted the Basix Kit of essentials alongside six Gelish Cream Gel palettes to craft their colourful creations. Stories surrounding seasonal shifts and personal growth have been expressed through hand-painted styles, and a write-up and video complemented each entry, unveiling inspiration and artistic tips.

This challenge is not about a trend. It’s about expression: colour in motion. It celebrates technique, intention and the expressive power of Gelish Cream Gel colour to tell a story.

Spring is a time of transition, from subtle to bold features, and soft to saturated looks. Explore colour expression through the Gelish Cream Gel palette, using its smooth, blendable formulas to create dynamic, story-driven nail designs. Think of seamless blends, layered colours, soft diffusion and intentional transitions across five nails. The design should showcase a fresh, original narrative.
