The 3rd. Briliant Beauty Japan Cup will take place in September 2026.

Greeting

Thanks to your continued support, we are delighted to announce that the 3rd Briliant Beauty Japan Cup will be held this September. We sincerely appreciate your encouragement and support.
The Briliant Beauty World Cup, our headquarters, was established in 2019 and has successfully hosted 31 online competitions and 4 arena competitions in cities such as Las Vegas, Hollywood, Dubai, Paris, Venice, and Tokyo.

At last year’s Tokyo (Shibuya) event, a total of 158 works were submitted from Japan, China, Korea, and Romania. The competition was exceptionally high in level, even by both domestic and international standards, and we truly feel that we have taken another significant step forward as a nail competition.

In 2026, both the arena and submission categories have been refreshed to make participation more accessible and enjoyable. We have also expanded our sponsor booths and are committed to creating a vibrant and inspiring event atmosphere.

In the late summer season, why not take on this one-of-a-kind nail competition where you can compete with your unique strengths?
We sincerely look forward to welcoming your participation.
