Scratch’s 29 September 2026 report records the first Nailympia Puerto Rico at The Nails Expo in San Juan on 27–28 September. It reports 24 professionals from five countries and names division winners as well as Maksymilian Borowy, Ireland, as Americas Cup winner. [1]

KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • The first edition took place on 27–28 September 2026 in San Juan. [1]
  • Maksymilian Borowy won the Americas Cup on combined San Antonio and Puerto Rico points. [1]
  • Category, division and combined-event awards should remain distinct.

The new location and its division winners

The report names Michelle Soto and The Nails Expo owner Lyssa Avilés as hosts. Its Winner of Winners list gives Rocio De Los Angeles Ortiz Luna for Division 1, Marilyn Fontanez for Division 2 and Maksymilian Borowy for Division 3. The division labels belong beside the names; removing them would collapse three different awards into one. [1]

What the Americas Cup combines

Scratch lists Borowy with 1,165 Americas Cup points from San Antonio and Puerto Rico. Its explanation names Stiletto Nails, Joy of Nails, Salon Nails and Flat Art in the combined score. The cup therefore differs from winning a single Puerto Rico category; quoting only the location would omit the other event in the calculation. [1]

A limit in the published category count

The introduction reports eleven categories, while the displayed results contain twelve distinct category headings before the overall awards. The page does not explain that difference. We retain the named category-and-division results rather than presenting eleven as our independently confirmed total. This is a documentary report, with no attendance, rescoring or product testing by NailWiki. [1]
