The ICO goes on for a while. I believe the first round is over now but in two weeks round 2 starts which should be a bit easier to participate in since the price is not as good. I would not hold on to NXT in the meanwhile as that is only going to depreciate. I would just invest in ARDR if I were you and try to get IGNIS after the snapshot in the open markets. I highly doubt there will be a big pop...
