Nail Art – Manicures that didn’t make it to the 31DC2013

During last month I enjoyed doing nail art every day and even if I’ve showed you most of them, I still have some manicures that didn’t make it to the challenge but that I still love. Let’s take a look at them.

Day 12 – Stripes

This day caused me some trouble since stripes aren’t my strongest nail art form. I started with the idea of doing vertical stripes and I wanted to do them with nail art tape BUT as I was trying to align those tapes on the first nail I’ve got frustrated and impatient and decided to try to freehand those lines. That worked better than expected but when I was finished with my manicure I wanted something else for the stripes but didn’t know what!

For the second approach I was now sure I wanted zebra stripes but when I was finished with this one, the manicure and the color combination was too subtle so I changed it again to the neon colored stripe manicure that I really loved wearing!!

Day 18 – Half moons

I worked three days ahead in this challenge and that gave me time to reconsider some of the manicures. I actually loved this one very much but when I’ve got the hanging on a half moon flower idea the same day as this manicure was to go live I just couldn’t resist the temptation and did this instead.

So what do you think? Should I have chosen any of these instead of the ones I’ve chosen for the 31 Day Challenge?

    I think each of them easily could have made it in the challenge! Very beautiful all three of them!

    I really like both of your stripe designs, especially the floral one — the colors are so bold and the flowers look perfect :)

    Herregud du är ju så briljant att till och med manikyrer du dissar får mig att vilja gråta av avund:(‘

    The first one with stripes- i think it looks really cool. I especially like the grey thrown in with all those brights :)

    Hahaha that’s an Easy question: you could do a 62 days challenge and never run out of ideas!!! I am just glad that it wasn’t ME who had to decide between any of them :-) thank you for letting us take a glimps into your treasure archive xxx
