31 Day Challenge 2018: Summary post

Now it's time for the 31 Day Challenge summary post! I really enjoy looking back at each year's challenge as both a display of my own development and as a review of the times if you will. By that I mean that there are many nail art trends that come and go, and usually in the challenge you will see that being reflected, such as negative space design, advanced stamping, dotticures and more. This year I did two swirl marble designs, and for me that is definitely a 2018 trend.

You find my previous challenge summaries here: 2017, 2016, 2015, 2014 and 2013.

På svenska:
Nu är det dags att summera den stora utmaningen. Jag tycker alltid det är roligt att se tillbaka på varje års manikyrer, både för att se på min egen utveckling men också som ett litet tidsdokument. Med det menar jag att det ändå finns så många trender inom nagelkonsten som kommer och går och vanligen ser man i utmaningen vilka de är för tillfället. Det har tidigare varit en hel del negative space, avancerad stämpling och längre tillbaka också prickar. I år blev det två manikyrer på temat swirl marble och det är för mig verkligen en 2018-trend.

Du hittar mina tidigare summeringar från tidigare utmaningen här: 2017, 2016, 2015, 2014 och 2013. Jag hoppas att du gillat årets manikyrer. Baserat på hur pass få deltagare det varit i utmaningen i år (fram mot slutet endast 5 personer) så är det kanske tveksamt om det blir något nästa år men vi får väl se.
