Hey, welcome!
Soon there will be the second edition of the Semilac Nail Art Championship.
It's a good moment to remind yourself
what the first edition of this prestigious event looked like!
Personally, I was delighted looking at the work of such talented participants,
their high level of skills and commitment.
One of the brightest is with me today:
3rd place winner in the hybrid manicure category,
and currently the instructor of Semilac Academy - Aleksandra Kaczmarek.
Hello.
Yes, already an instructor.
It's hard for me to believe it!
As you can see, it's worth fighting for dreams come true!
If you are anxious that you wouldn't cope with stress -
today Ola and I will tell you
what the championship looks like from the inside out!
We will also give you some valuable tips and tricks,
so that you can fully present your talent,
have fun by the way,
and get a chance to earn unique prizes!
If you're still hesitating
to take part in the Semilac Nail Art Championship
after seeing today's episode you will have no doubts!
For me, this decision turned out to be a breakthrough in my life!
Okay, tell us
What prompted you to take part in the Championships?
Rivalry.
It is an inseparable element of my life.
Since I was very young I competed in competitions, mainly sports.
It can be said that I was somehow prepared for competition,
or judgement of my actions by other people.
Semilac announced the Championships around the New Year.
At the same time, on the Instagram profile of Semilac
a picture of the stylization I made has appeared.
It got a huge number of likes and comments.
It was an incentive for me to make the decision to start.
Of course I had a lot of doubts.
Nail stylization was my hobby.
Every day I worked at school as a physical education teacher.
I thought I did not have a chance with people who deal with it professionally.
But my sports spirit woke up again and said:
"If you do not try, you will never find out.. Take a chance. "
I believe that nothing happens by chance.
I had a premonition,
that the publication of my work on Instagram at the time of registration for the championship
was a sign and fate wants me to be on it.
I do not conceal that the prospect of winning the prize,
also was an additional mobilization.
PLN 20,000 is really a lot.
Okay, how do you remember this day?
Did stress accompany you?
Of course!
When I saw all the participants in the room,
their huge boxes, sets of brushes and other accessories,
I started to wonder what I was doing there
with my one decoration brush
and foil of a polishing block serving as a holder.
Fortunately, stress has passed
after inserting the first painted nail into the lamp.
I thought to myself: "Do it as always, and it will be good."
Another dose of emotions accompanied me,
as well as my model while waiting for the assessment of the stylization.
And this time was quite long, because our number was the last one.
During the second category, i.e. Nail Art, the stress was much smaller,
I knew it was not my favourite.
When the results were announced,
I did not even dare to dream that I would hear my name.
But when heard it read out,
I looked around the room looking for another Aleksandra Kaczmarek.
As it has already occurred to me that it's me,
I can't remember when I enjoyed myself like that.
I can't tell you anything more about this moment,
because of all these emotions, I can not remember much.
I will say only that it was a total surprise and unearthly euphoria.
Ola, how did you prepare for the championships?
Maybe you have some advice and tips for girls,
who would like to take part?
Firstly, You should take care
of proper packing of all necessary Semilac products
for making a hybrid manicure.
The organizer provides a table, two chairs and access to electricity.
And the rest?
As a total layman in this matter, my preparation was very intuitive.
Despite the fact that participation in both categories
Nail Art and hybrid manicure, is mandatory,
I put a pressure on one of them.
I belong to these more technical stylists,
that's why I focused on hybrid manicure.
I started preparations from searching for a model.
When we choose her, we should take notice of
model's hand to be slim, had nice skin
and most of all her nails had a beautiful, long plate.
It is also important that before the championships
we shuould make two or three designs on our model,
to get to know her nails, skins.
Before the start of the championships we should prepare the nails
i.e. develop a shape and cut out the skins.
It is not allowed to roughen the tile.
In the second category, it's the best to prelong the nails up to 3 cm.
Besides that the model give us her hands and nails,
on this day is also a great support for us -
she is a person who will check if everything is in the position.
Under stress, you can forget about getting something out of the box,
and during the competition picking out is strictly prohibited.
Her task is also to control time,
that's why I recommend to have a traditional watch on the table.
Remember that the model's hands and wrists
should be devoid of decorations and characteristic signs
such as tattoos, birthmarks and scars,
which enable identification of the model during the jury's assessment.
When it comes to preparing for competition,
It's good to do your nails at home in regular time.
Link to the regulations can be found in the description.
Okay, and when it comes to your preparation for the Nail Art
tell me if it was totally spontaneous
Did you a plan the styling?
At the beginning there was a plan to figure out something on the spot.
However, I quickly changed my mind
and I also wanted to take this competition seriously.
I analyzed the topic.
A certain idea was born in my head and I transferred it to nail tips.
It's good to train our styling a few times
on tips or model,
to not to face a problem at the competition.
Ola, participation in the championships basically has changed your life ,
now you are the Instructor of the Semilac Academy!
It's a life revolution!
A week after the championship, I received a phone call with an interview invitation ,
where my potential was noticed and I was offered a job at the Semilac Academy.
I am very happy,
that I can develop my skills here and pass them on the others.
Eh, and it got very sentimental,
but we have to slowly get back to reality.
Which also is colorful!
Finally, the next edition of the Championship is coming!
Semilac Nail Art Championship
