Judges Feedback: "This color combination required different levels of lift to achieve the vibrancy we see here. The pre-Vivids application work on this model, that would typically go unnoticed, was done perfectly. If it weren’t for the precision in the lightening process, the finished color would not have its seamless look."

-Vadre Grigsby, Pravana Artistic Color Director

“I love how she related it to her art inspiration [Van Gogh’s Starry Night] and showcased the final look with more than one style.”

 -Danny Moon, Pravana Guest Artist

“Perfectly melted colors, strategic placement and a wise model/photographer made this a number one choice for me.”

-James Gartner, Pravana Guest Artist

Judges Feedback: "Nicole did an amazing job recreating the multidimensional colors seen in the inspiration photo of the jewel necklace. The final look is soft and blended perfectly while maintaining a distinction between the different shades. The styling is beautiful on this as well."

Judges Feedback: "This is a great translation of her inspiration photo. The subtle nuances of tonal shifts in this pastel creation showcase lighter shades of the full cool spectrum, but include wisps of warm colors too."
