31DC2013 Recap!!

Here we are at the recap, I had much fun during this challenge and got to stretch my imagination. And I'll probably do it again (will I be less busy? Only time will tell). There's been an incredible amount of improvement for me from the last time I did the challenge, not only in "skill" but in picture quality and cuticle care (yet sometimes my cuticles still choose to be temperamental) too. I honestly really enjoyed all the manicures I did for this challenge. Favourites? I'll put a little heart next to them ^_^

Red Nails: Mario Mushrooms

Gradient Nails: Pink/Orange/Green Gradients (feat. neon and dull) <3

It's neon, I can't not. I could not stop staring. Also it's the best gradient I've ever done.

I love pop art and the 3D polka dots looks so awesome.  

Stripes: Black Bandages with colour

Animal Print: Fish Scales

Ok favourite glitter, JoJo and Goliath look so cute. These reasons for favourites aren't in depth.

Unexpected favourites are probably the polka dots, the mosaic design and my watermelon marble. Picking favourites is hard for me though cause I'm very proud of these designs. I'm sure all other challenge participants had a great time doing this challenge (minus the time constraint) and I hope you liked reading mine :) Are there any manicures from my challenge that you particularly liked? I'd be really grateful to know. Thank for so much for reading and I hope you have a wonderful day!! ^_^
