05:05 Feb 5, 2021 0 0

'For the 10th and final challenge we were asked to create an avant-grade nail design on two hands.  To me, avant-garde signifies innovation, experimentation and stepping outside the creative boundaries.  It\'s moving away from the status quo, and taking a leap into the unknown. Expressionism and conceptual art on nails is something that ultimately drives new ideas to the wider industry, and I\'ve put my expression onto this set of nails.   My inspiration for this weeks avant-garde look was inspired by my studies in fashion design in my college days. Nowadays, fashion and art are one in the same, and nails and fashion are also becoming closer relations.   Fashion designers such as, Gareth Pugh, Victor and Rolf, and Issey Miyake push the boundaries with their bold ideas. I like the concept of strong bold structures, yet delicately transcending into delicate art and design. So, for my design, I translated this into the nails, taking the boldness of sharp lines and edges, which in the fashion world depicts strength and presence, shaped these into a triangular shape, which depicts masculinity, and merged this with the delicacy of origami design, with the intricacy of the folds and the beauty of the creations origami can bring.  Think of the strength of million men, with the delicacy of new born baby.   I haven\'t seen this collaboration of designs before, and continuing in the vein of pushing myself to move further in both my personal journey, and the NTNA journey, I placed myself in the shoes of a nail avant-garde designer.     I have learnt so much being part of this NTNA journey.  I\'ve been so fortunate to share my journey with all the wonderful Nail technicians who worked tirelessly through the competition.  I have found a strength and determination I didn\'t know I had, and I have a new found desire and passion. I feel blessed to have been a part of the journey and I want to take this time to thank everyone involved for bringing out the artist - and the avant-garde designer - in me!!'
