A Putney woman nailed success at a national competition held at Wembley conference centre on the weekend.
Edith Hoon, who works at the Beauty House in Trinity Road, Tooting Bec, beat off competitors from around the country and abroad to win the Novice Nail Extension Technician award.
Winning the competition, which was organised by Nails Magazine, was an even more outstanding achievement as Mrs Hoon only completed her training at South Thames College in Wandsworth last year.
Mrs Hoon, who lives in Aubyn Square, said: "It was a big surprise because I never win anything, but it felt wonderful."
She was presented with a bunch of flowers as well as her trophy and certificate, and will be featured in the March edition of Nails Magazine.
