Judge 1

Smile Lines – 10 Points

• the smile lines are symmetrical and consistent (even points and equal curvature)

“C” curves – 10 Points

• the curvature of the nail enhancements is symmetrical and consistent
• the depth of curvature is a range between 40% and 50%
• the percent of curvature enhances the model’s nails
• if nail enhancements are oval in shape, consideration will be given for the apparent lack of curvature at the distal edge

Cuticle Area – 10 Points

• the product is flush to the natural nails and close to the cuticles
• the model’s skin at the cuticle area is in excellent condition (free from abrasions)

Shape – 10 Points

• the shape is symmetrical and consistent individually
• the shape is symmetrical and consistent together as a set


Judge 2

Product Control – 5 Points

• the product is completely free of air bubbles and pits
• the color of the product is consistent
• the skin is free from all products

Moons – 5 Points

Judge 3

Length – 10 Points

• the length, measured from cuticle to the end of the extension, is consistent between matching nails (pinkie to pinkie, etc.) and in proportion to each other
• the length is suitable for competition-style nail enhancements; a suggested range of a 1 to 1 ratio of nail bed to free edge is ideal, provided the length looks balanced on model’s hands

Polish or Color Application – 5 Points

• the application is smooth, even and clean

Finish Work – 5 Points

• the nails are thoroughly clean (absence of dust)
