Sinful nail art
Published
19th Dec 2012
As we gear up for the International Nail Competition at the Professional Beauty show at London Excel in February we're taking inspiration from some of the amazing photographic entries we had for the Manchester competition.
The theme for Manchester was Seven Deadly Sins (a theme close to our hearts!), which meant there were lots of hot shots to represent things like lust, greed and wrath.
If you missed them, these were some of the Professional Beauty editorial team's personal favourites!
