Jade nails it
West Lothian College Beauty Therapy student, JadeAitken, nailed her manicure competition debut at Coatbridge College after winning the Commercial NailArt category and securing her place in the National Final in Blackpool.
Seventeen-year-old Jade from Harthill was required to devise their very own nail art design in advance and complete their creation on a model in just an hour and a half.
Having been inspired to take up nail art during work experience at a local salon, Jade opted for a black, white and orange flower design across all of the nails, complemented by shimmering rhinestones for a more glamorous effect.
