Hi everyone!
Another year’s 31 Day Challenge is over. The end of a challenge can be a little anticlimactic. We’ve done all of this work and all of these beautiful nail designs and it’s just over, seemingly never to be seen again! I really felt like I challenged myself and did some of my best nail art this challenge, so I decided to share it with you one more time in a challenge roundup. Just click on any of the pictures to be taken to the full post if you missed any of these!

I was especially proud of the fact that I managed my personal challenge of including freehand in every look. The only look where I really thought the freehand wasn’t the focus were my metallic nails, where my freehand border became overshadowed by the stamping I added. I had several days where I painted a full freehand picture, which takes a long time but is always so worth it!
I had some personal favourites in every segment of the challenge, although I think the final third may have been my strongest! Personally, my absolute favourites were my birds at sunset, freehand floral, Lord of the Rings, Game of Thrones, Starry Night, water drops, and the final landscape. I do think I may have been somewhat influenced by knowing which of these took the most work, though!
Which was your favourite challenge look?
