MoYou London 31 Day Nail Art Challenge: Day 21 Fashion

Happy Friday varnished vixens,

Today I decided to do another post for the 31 Day Nail Art Challenge I did for MoYou London a while ago.  If you follow me on Instagram you know about all the posts and the winner has been announced ages ago.  I wanted to make sure I got up all the blog posts that corresponded as well but it's been a bit of slow going.  The prompt for the 21st day was Fashion.  I chose to use designs and patterns by the tribal and pattern loving designer Mara Hoffman.

When I look back at this manicure I actually see it as a failure.  I had less than an hour to complete this look and it really shows. It was rushed and not as neat as I normally like my nail art to look. I also feel like the colors didn't hit together quite the way I wanted them too.  However, I'm super grateful that I did this challenge.  Even from 3 months ago I can really see how much my nail art has improved.

These days I could probably whip up that same mani in less than an hour and execute it flawlessly. So in short while I made a lot of errors going through this competition my photography skills and art skills improved by leaps and bounds which is awesome!

I really admire the designs put out by Mara Hoffman and so I'd like to tackle this one again in the future maybe next summer when I'm dying for neons again as always lol. Next time I think my design will be a better executed and a better tribute to the work of Mara.  In any case thanks for reading and I will see you next post....

  2. I did but that's why it wasn't very neat and precise. I could do it now in under an hour and have it neat and precise but that's only because I have been doing it for such a long time now ;)
