The 20th Nailympia London took place at Salon Beauty (formerly Olympia Beauty) on 13-14 October 2024, and wrapping up an outstanding year of competitions for the global nail sector.
Nailympia was hosted in six locations in 2024, with Germany run by Stefanie Lo Re, Mexico by Dafne Fernandez, Vietnam by Damon Ho, and in association with the Premiere Show Group in Orlando and San Antonio. The London contest featured 10 categories that could be entered online, and nine that took place in the Salon Beauty arena. Across these 19 categories, 165 competitors from 32 countries took 544 competition seats.
Categories were judged by a team of global experts and Nailympia is administered under Alex Fox, who celebrates 20 years as global director of Nailympia this autumn.
