I thought it would be neat to see the comparison of the first time I did the 31 day challenge to this time, side by side. In most ways it is evident that I have come a long way. Both from my care of my nails to the level of artwork and stamping. Nothing like some determination, practice, and hard work to get you to where you want to go. I still have a long ways to go, but I think I am allowed to feel some pride :-) If you are a newbie to the nail game then I hope this can give you some inspiration too!! It really wasn't all that long ago that I did the challenge for the first time....less than 5 months ago.
For each of the collage pictures, you will see the first challenge on the left hand side and the recent challenge on the right side. I started with putting text on each one and then realized that would take to freakin long. Hope you enjoy!

I have learned so many things over the past few months. Just look at the difference in my cuticles! And the shape of my nails. Even the precision of my stamping and nail art. This has given me such confidence to keep working hard and trying new things! Thank you to all of the ladies who gave me inspiration and have taught me things just by being supportive and giving advice through the ever magical world of the interwebs!!
Let me know what you think! Which one did you think I made the most improvements on? Is there any you think I did better the first time around?
Thanks for stopping by! XOXOXO
