A Wanganui woman who found her passion in fingernail art has had the chance to commemorate Anzac soldiers with her craft.
Sonia White wanted to "show a story" in her nail art, and did "just heaps of research" to put together her entry for Beauty FX's Anzac-themed gel nail art competition.
Mrs White, who has been doing nail art for a year, was surprised - and delighted - to win first place in the competition's novice section.
The first nail, which shows a soldier and the New Zealand flag, illustrates men leaving for World War I, while the second nail shows them landing at Anzac Cove.
The third nail, of a tree, cross and poppies, represents burying the dead at Gallipoli while the fourth nail, with a picture of a suit and poppy, shows the annual remembrance of their feats.
