Time To Vote: Nailpro November/December 2022 Cover Contest

Aug 1st, 2022
Nailpro

At Nailpro, we love showing off the amazing creations of everyday nail pros. We started with the May 2022 issue for our cover contest, giving licensed nail techs the opportunity to be featured on the cover as well as in a three-to-four-page spread of the magazine.

Now is your chance to vote for the mood board you want to see transformed into the final cover set of the year. On Monday, Aug. 1, 2022, visit Nailpro’s Instagram to cast your vote via the poll in Stories. Make sure you are subscribed to Nailpro to discover the winner and see the cover nails!

Give it up for the top two mood boards (in no particular order) of the November/December 2022 Cover Contest.

Mood Board 1: Snow Globe Glam

Concept: "The concept behind my cover idea is inspired by the holidays and the ‘stones and gems’ and ‘metallics’ Nailpro themes. I would set the scene to a cozy cabin in the woods, but you would be able to see the sweetness and comfort of the scene on the outside—resembling a painting or a snow globe."

Mood Board 2: Pink and Gold Holiday

Concept: "I am picturing a classy blush holiday aesthetic with rich anchoring browns and golds. A touch of holiday glam with cozy vibes. Something that makes the reader want the valuable information inside the issue. Especially the use of metallics, client gift guides, salon software help and seasonal trends."
