TECH 2018
UK Nail Tech 2018 returns on Sunday 20th and Monday 21st May as part of the annual Beauty UK show, taking place at the NEC Birmingham, recognising the talent of nail technicians currently working in the UK. The competition has been devised by Competition Director Denise Wright, and organised by Guild Press Ltd, publishers of Guild News magazine and organisers of the Beauty UK exhibition. Taking part in a competition is a great way to build your confidence and have your work critiqued by some of the leading names in UK nails. This year, UK Nail Tech will comprise 15 categories with the addition of two new categories. We now have 11 for professional nail techs and 4 for students along with the overall UK Nail Tech 2018 award.
