Nailympia announces Sicily as a new competition location for 2026

Nail competition brand, Nailympia, has continued its dynamic expansion with the announcement of its 14th international location – this time landing in the breathtaking surroundings of Catania, proudly representing Italy on the Nailympia world stage.

Taking place 28–30 November, Nailympia Sicily will be hosted at the elegant Grand Villa Itria, offering competitors a luxurious setting paired with iconic Mediterranean views.

A competition designed to inspire

The event will showcase 17 competitions: 11 in the arena alongside six hand-in categories, ensuring opportunities for every level and style of nail professional. Nailympia global director, Alex Fox, shares: “It’s a very happy day when we get to announce a new location for Nailympia – and even more exciting when it is born in such a stunning destination with Mediterranean views. This will be a three-day event packed full of competitions with something for everyone.

“There will be 12 trophies awarded, including the 5th Euro Cup, which takes its first round of scores from Nailympia London just six weeks prior. What a great way to end the Nailympia 2026 circuit – inside a stunning European hotel event space. See you… and ciao for now.”

Erika Nortier

From competitor to host: Erika Nortier’s vision

At the heart of Nailympia Sicily is its passionate new host, Erika Nortier, whose journey with the competition began in 2019 as a competitor. Reflecting on her new role, Erika cites: “I’m deeply honoured to be appointed as the official organiser of Nailympia Sicily – a milestone that represents not only a personal achievement, but a significant moment for the nail industry in Italy.” Having experienced the competition firsthand, Erika brings a unique perspective, noting: “My journey in this industry began many years ago as a competitor, where I had the privilege of experiencing the intensity, discipline and passion that define the Nailympia arena.”

With a vision firmly rooted in elevating the competitor experience, she adds: “Those years shaped my understanding of what competitors truly need – not only in terms of technical excellence, but also support, fairness, inspiration and recognition.”

Elevating Italy on the global stage

With a clear mission, Erika is focused on delivering an exceptional platform. “Today, I bring my experience forward with a clear vision: to create an exceptional competition platform that elevates artists, celebrates creativity and upholds the highest international standards. This goal is met with Nailympia Sicily,” she claims, “It’s an opportunity to showcase the extraordinary talent within our country, while connecting Italy to a global community of world-class professionals.”

She concludes with a powerful statement of intent: “With the same passion, dedication and commitment that once drove me as a competitor, I now step into this role as organiser with purpose, vision and an unwavering commitment to excellence.”

Zrinka Vuksan Bolancha – Canada/Croatia makes her debut as head judge in Sicliy.

Highly respected international competitor and long-standing judge, Zrinka Vuksan Bolanča, will step into her debut role as head judge for the Sicilian edition. Representing Canada and proudly honouring her Croatian roots, Zrinka brings years of Nailympia experience to this prestigious position. She will be joined by a panel of familiar global judges, soon to be announced.

A spectacular finale to the Nailympia season

As the Nailympia calendar builds towards its European finale, Sicily promises to deliver not only a world-class competition, but an unforgettable cultural and visual experience. From rising stars to seasoned champions, all nail eyes will turn to Catania this November – where creativity, craftsmanship and community all meet under the Mediterranean sun.

Nailympia News – meet Nakayama Ryuji – Individual Top Scorer Nailympia China 2025

 

Introducing…competitor: Nakayama Ryuji

Nail artist, educator and brand developer who is mixed race Chinese/Japanese and lives in Shanghai, China. Nakayama won the Individual Top Scorer trophy at Nailympia China 2025.

Nakayama has been a dedicated nail artist for over 14 years. Although nail art wasn’t his initial career choice, it eventually became the perfect outlet for his creativity and passion for design. Originally aspiring to become a haute couture designer, Nakayama studied skincare, make-up, and aromatherapy in order to deepen his understanding of aesthetics and fashion. It was during this journey that he rediscovered nail art, which he found to be an easily  accessible and expressive form of art.

Nakayama’s passion for nails began early. While still in middle school, his curiosity about fashion led to an introduction through his English teacher to May, a local nail salon owner – who would later become his mentor and now business partner. Intrigued, Ryuji began learning manicure techniques during summer breaks at May’s salon. May immediately recognised his unique perspective and enthusiasm, sharing her knowledge generously and encouraging him to attend popular Japanese nail seminars. These formative experiences laid the foundation for his future in the nail industry.

While attending university, Nakayama came to the realisation that pursuing a career in fashion design would be financially challenging. While in contrast, nail art offered an artistic platform that was not only fulfilling but also more attainable.

In 2019, Nakayama launched his own nail product brand, Ryuji&May. Alongside product development, he also teaches professional nail training courses and serves as a translator for renowned Japanese nail educators, helping bring advanced techniques to Chinese-speaking students. However, Nakayama’s creative pursuits don’t stop at nails, he is also a jewellery designer.

When seeking creative inspiration, Nakayama browses Instagram for fresh ideas, although the world of fashion and performance art are extremely powerful sources for him. He is especially drawn to bold visuals from runway shows and music concerts, analysing costumes and stage design before translating into intricate nail art designs.

Things got exciting for Nakayama when Nailympia announced its debut in China. He seized the opportunity, not to win, but to learn. At Nailympia China 2025, Nakayama competed in Division 3 and achieved extraordinary results: a gold medal in Salon Nails, silver in Joy of Nails, bronze in Full Cover Creative and won one of the top accolades, the Individual Top Scorer trophy having attained with 1088 points

This was his first major international competition, having only participated in a flat art contest in Taiwan beforehand. The experience proved transformative. Nakayama formed friendships with other passionate nail artists and strengthened his belief in the power of competition as a learning tool. Nakayama emphasises, “Competition mirrors high-level salon work. While some view it as impractical, I see it as a training ground to sharpen technical skill, precision and professionalism. I encourage everyone to embrace the challenge. Competing doesn’t diminish credibility, it enhances it. Even failure can generate meaningful content and career growth when shared authentically.

“Internet traffic may come and go,” he continues, “but professionalism and skill build a lasting legacy. Competitions are a platform to elevate the industry and demonstrate that nail artistry is a career deserving of deep respect and global recognition.”

During Nailympia, Nakayama met industry icon Jan Arnold, co-founder of CND. This personal meeting left a lasting impression since Jan shared words of encouragement, praising his efforts to promote professionalism and literacy within the Chinese nail industry, and offered this advice, ‘Stay true, stay professional, stay scientific,’ which has become his guiding mantra.

Looking ahead, Nakayama’s mission is clear: to elevate the literacy and credibility of the Chinese nail industry. With the market rapidly expanding, he’s determined to uphold professionalism and fight against misinformation and unverified product endorsements promoted by unqualified influencers. He believes the future of the industry depends on transparency, education and ethical practice.
