MARCH NAIL ART CHALLENGE (SUMMARY)

Good Afternoon!! :) I apologize I haven't posted anything recently...changing over to Bloglovin' and updating my blog to Google+ has been very confusing to me and I have to admit I've avoided my blog :( I'm sorry. But I'm back and I have alot to show you!!

This post, as you can tell is, a summary of the March Nail Art Challenge. I wasn't able to do the last 2 days but I did all of the other ones and they are some of my favorite designs so far!

Day 1 - Chevron. This was my first ever Chevron design and it took me a little while to do it lol. I was being so perfectionist with the striping tape :P ...I also took a picture of this design the day after I did it which is why the tips of my nails are already worn off :(

Day 4: Stripes. This is one of my absolute favorite designs!! I free handed this using a small striping brush, and I know its triangles, but I figured it still works as stripes :)

Day 7 - Gradients. As you can tell this design is simple, all you need is a dotting tool and 4-5 shades of a similar color. It's perfect for beginners :) I was inspired to do this design by a friend of mine on Instagram, @kimiko7878, if you have Instagram please go follow her, her work is amazing!!

Day 10 - Color Block. This is another one of my favorites :) Most people did solid blocks of color right next to each other for this theme, which is probably what anyone would think of doing for color block...but I wanted to do something a little differently :) and I love the way it turned out!

Day 13 - Luck. I thought about what to do for this design for days before I figured out what to do. I had to think of what thought pops up in my head when I think of the word 'luck'. I thought of lucky pennies, 4 leaf clovers (which was what I knew I would do for Saint Patrick's Day) and finally I came up with casino's, because you really need luck in there right?? And it also worked out perfectly because I had one of my Facebook followers suggest I do Casino nails :)

Day 17 - St. Patty's Day. Here's my 4 leaf clover :) I don't love this design but that's ok...because it is still cute. I really like how my ring finger turned out :)

Day 19 - Vintage. For my Vintage nails I decided I wanted to use Coral...it has become one of my favorite colors to wear! So I painted the stripes, and the hearts and then used a stamping plate for the roses, then I covered it with China Glaze, Fairy Dust to give it a little more pop!

Day 22 - Swatch. This swatch is China Glaze, Sky High-Top and is my absolute favorite blue polish! Last month I bought about 5 or 6 new blues :P lol and this really is the most stunning of them all!

 Day 25 - Sparkles. Now as I mentioned before I wasn't able to do the last 2 designs for the March Nail Art Challenge, so this is the last one I did. I had to shorten my nails because a few of them had broken while I was at work, and it was kind of sad because I wasn't able to fix them, but at the same time it's very refreshing to start over. So once again I chose my coral polish :) and using a red polish I stamped over the top and then added yellow rhinestones. Up until recently I haven't been the biggest fan of rhinestones but I feel that that is slowly changing :) I also added a coat of China Glaze, Fairy Dust to add more sparkles.


I hope you guys enjoyed these designs as much as I did :) and I just wanted to ask a real quick question...do you guys like these 'Summary' posts of all of the designs I do in my monthly challenges or do you like the way I was doing it before? With each day having its own post? Please leave a comment below with your opinion :) I would greatly appreciate it!
