And finally, Day 31 - re-create your favourite challenge!
To start off with, here are the first 8 days. Apologies for the quality of the first 6 photos!
 |
| Day 1 - Red Simple, and a good way to ease yourself into the challenge - it only gets tougher from here! All you need is a white nail varnish and a red nail art pen, and the rest is self-explanatory! |
 |
| Day 2 - Orange Deciding to take it up a notch now with tiger print! You need: white nail varnish, orange nail varnish, a black nail art pen and a small piece of sponge. Easy peasy really! Paint a white base coat, then, using the sponge, dab orange varnish over most of your nail, then finish with black stripes coming from either side! Easy Tiger! |
 |
| Day 3 - Yellow BANANARAMA! Though they may not look like it, these are in fact bananas on a blue background. For this one you'll need a contrasting base coat, a black nail art pen, and if you're feeling particularly arty, TWO different shades of yellow nail art pens. After you have your base coat down and dry, paint semicircles of the darker yellow. The next step is the paler yellow, to highlight. Then finally, there's the banana outline and hey presto, you're done! |
 |
| Day 4 - Green Feeling a manicure with a colour twist here... Two different shades of green, simples. |
 |
| Day 5 - Blue It was a particularly sunny day, so decided to match the weather! Paint yourself a blue sky base coat, and then add white fluffy clouds with a white nail art pen! And if you're feeling particularly sunny, add yourself some small rays of sunshine on the thumb! |
 |
| Day 6 - Purple You need a fairly steady hand for this one! We used three different shades of purple, one for the base coat and 2 for the square outlines. |
 |
| Day 7 - Rainbow This is a personal favourite, being so bright and cheerful! Red and yellow and pink and green... Well, you get the idea. Take care not to paint the early stripes too large or else there won't be enough room for poor purple on the end... |
 |
| Day 8 - Black and White There's nothing cuter or girlier than bows, so I decided to use this design to finish off the colour phase of the Challenge! These are crazy easy, after the base coat is on, paint a small circle in the top corner of your nails. Follow this with 2 bow-looking blobs either side. Voila! |
Stay tuned for the next batch!
