Many of the nail sculptures at the Nailympics in London have misty woodland themes.\u003cbr/\u003e              This model has branches as they appear at different times of the year, green leafed in summer and covered with ice crystals in the winter.\u003cbr/\u003e              Scores of nail artists take part in the event which is hotly contested around the world.\u003cbr/\u003e              Some are altogether more playful like these Pokemon themed nails.\u003cbr/\u003e              Whatever the artists choose, the judges are always looking for the same things, creativity, accuracy and attention to detail.\u003cbr/\u003e              One of the judges Jan Arnold says she's been amazed at the range of creations on show: \"There are so many themes from dark to light, there are creatures, there are fairies, there is Frida Kahlo.\"\u003cbr/\u003e              This model is not only dressed and made up to resemble the famous Mexican artist, her fingers bring to life canvases from other artists like Klimt and Vermeer.\u003cbr/\u003e              According to Arnold: \"So it's very interesting to see the ones who went positive and the ones that went deep dark into the forest.\"\u003cbr/\u003e              Something you might find deep in the forest is this wood nymph. \u003cbr/\u003e              This model has been created to represent nature his hair and body are covered in bark and leaves and his nails depict creatures from the wood, bees, beetles and even the odd snake.\u003cbr/\u003e              Another artist shows her passion for the sea with her model dressed as a mermaid and her fingers turned into sea creatures peering out of the coral beds.\u003cbr/\u003e              With Halloween around the corner it's not surprising the themes of some of the nail contestants are so dark.\u003cbr/\u003e              This creation is all about the different nightmares the artist has had, for instance losing her hair or  being attacked by insects. The model is literally blind because her eyeballs are covered with white lenses.\u003cbr/\u003e              \"One of them is really scary (referring to the nightmare model), the model is actually wearing white contact lenses so when you look into her eyes there's just an empty space and on her nails there's bugs and creatures and yes it's unbelievably creative, but dark,\" says Arnold.\u003cbr/\u003e              Whatever the theme the nail artist chooses, there is always a colourful spectacle to keep the crowds at London's Beauty Show entertained.\u003cbr/\u003e              Arnold says: \"It's really art you know nail professionals sit in their salon every day creating magic on nails, but this competition sets them free to really explore their mediums, take their products and push the boundaries of their creative mind. So it's really their chance to let go, let loose and be creative.\"\u003cbr/\u003e              Organisers say the next Nailympic event will be in Houston, Texas.\u003cbr/\u003e            \u003cbr/\u003e\u003cbr/\u003e              London, UK - 2 October 2017\u003cbr/\u003e              1.
