3. Nail techs submit a photo of their nail art inspired by the theme by sending it via Instagram Direct Message to @nailnationva by the listed ending date, listed in the caption of the theme announcing post.

4. Submitted designs are posted for public voting.

5. Votes are counted by likes on the photo.

6. At the deadline for the theme, the nail art submission with the most likes is declared the winner.
