A model presents her, um, paw....
The competitors had only three hours to decorate their model's nails at the Nailympics in Rome!
(btw there were 600 participants from 38 countries, in case you think it's limited to just the fanatic few).
Unfortunately, in their excitement, 20minutes and lessentiel neglected to specify which nails had won! At first I thought it was the above talented talons, but I don't think so, as Ms Roch-Burch apparently won with a stiletto nail design (see example below).
Oh well, they're all spectacular in a sexy, spooky, slinky sort of way.
And other competitions are coming you way soon: The Swiss NailArt Trophy, then Dubai, then....?
