Salon French Strass
Assignment:
Create a new set of Salon French Manicure nails on 1 hand within the given time, as would be done in a salon. Note that it must be a white French, with the ring finger decorated with strass.
Rules and Additional Information:
- The French Manicure must be created using a professional sculpting system of your choice. Participants may
use acrylic, gel, or polygel systems, and a combination of these is allowed.
