Meet Denise G. from La’ James International College Fremont. Denise took home 3rd Place in the Nails category!

“Trend Vision was loud and very lively, the spirit of one person and other campuses could very easily rub off on to others. It was fun and exciting, you never knew what to expect next from announcing the winners to what were in the prizes. When they called my name, one of my classmates had to tell me I won and nudged me to go on the stage to receive my awards. I couldn’t believe I won. I was in shock!! To those wanting to compete, enter even if you don’t want to because you fear your work won’t be good enough. In the end, everyone’s work is unique to their perspective of what the category means to them. The work doesn’t have to be “out of this world” or “extraordinary” what matters is how you show it. Have confidence in your work.”
