This is YOUR stage.
The beauty industry rarely puts Black, Latina, and Indian nail techs in the spotlight.
That’s why we built Brushed & Polished — to give real exposure to real talent.
This isn’t just a contest. This is your moment to shine, build clientele, network, and get seen by the right people.
From street-style sets to blinged-out masterpieces — your nails are your resume.
Let them speak.
