The version that I'll follow is the 2.0 version, created by @Willpaintnailsforfood, @thenailpolishchallenge and @wondrouslypolished. I like this version better. They will only post on Monday and Thursday, so you'll actually have time to think and admire your work for a longer time! Plus, I don't think it would have been manageable for me to paint my nails everyday. Yeah for the 2.0 version!
Day 1: Red. When I was looking for inspiration, the idea of the little girl and her balloon came almost immediately to my mind. My first idea was poppy nails, but I saw that on the day 11, that's the prompt. I really like how this design turned out. My skills at doing little design isn't perfect, but I hope that with the challenge I will get better!
I went with a grungy/dirty background, because I thought something was missing. Maybe I just didn't feel like it was complete until I make it dirtier. The technique is basically the same that Willpaintnailsforfood used regularly on her designs. You ''thin'' your color (black and off-white for me) then sponged lightly on your nails and voilà!
For the little girl, I went with something "fuzzy" (I don't know the right word for this one). I didn't want it to be perfect I wanted something with a little touch of "vague" (I really need to work on my words in English haha) This is why the little girl isn't clear when you focus on her. I thought it would be perfect for the dirty background. What do you think?
For my thumb I made red dots and then used the same technique I used for my accent nail to give it a vintage/erased look. I didn't take a picture of my thumb because I forgot. Whoops!
Here is the Schedule for this crazy month!
Happy polishing!
