31 Day Nail Challenge: Day 28-Inspired by a Flag
I had honestly no idea what flag I wanted to do up until about noon. I kinda just gave up and it ended up working better than expected.

31 Day Nail Challenge: Day 5-Blue
I was really excited for blue. I went in with a firm idea of what I was going to do, got the colors all ready, and set out to work.
And after I started, I quickly realized my plan had fallen apart.
I intended to do a night sky for today's challenge. Easy enough, right? It was mostly just a modified galaxy design. But then the blue-ness got lost in it, and by the end of trying to fix it, it seemed too barren and plain. So I added a city skyline to my night sky and thought, "Yeah, this looks pretty good. But the buildings are kind of lost against the background." So I added some lights on the buildings. And it looked better, but still, it didn't pop out, it more blurred together still. So I added a matte top coat. And after that, I gave up because there was nothing else I could think to do.

31 Day Nail Challenge: Day 4-Green
Green was an interesting day for me. I have a scarce amount of green polishes (I think my collection is about half just blues and purples) so it was about as difficult as yellow's day to come up with something. At first, I tried to do a lime green (which actually was more on the yellow side, go figure) with black and blue crackles over it, but it turned out so horribly I could not bare to let it slide. So instead, I took a look at my polishes and said: I am going to try out some fish scales!

31 Day Challenge: Day 1- Red
I've finally started the 31 Day Nail Challenge. I'm pretty excited for it; hopefully it'll really bring out some nice designs. Pretty much every nail blogger has done this challenge, but I hope you'll forgive me for being so unoriginal.
So today's entry is red! To tell you the truth, I had done a design for red, but the color, which looked really coral-y in bottle, turned out far more orange, and so I'm going to save it for Day 2. So I went to do red, and I really don't wear it that much (I only have two bottles of red nail polish, can you believe it?!), so this day I felt very uninspired. I picked up some silver and black and planned on doing simple polka dots, when the idea hit me: braided nails!
