Great challenge, and loving all the nail art. Well done to all and thanks PHD for the challenge.
awww! awesome! well done ladies!
This was a fabulous challenge idea and I loved every entrie's original thinking and the fact that they are patriotic based off of their diverse backgrounds. Fabulous!
Go, Slovenia! :D
Jeeeeeeeej, so happy to see Slovenian flag!!! :)
Go Fleur!!! :D
Wow they are all so much fun. I especially like the multi-national entries - great way to show your heritage. So sad I forgot to do one for myself (USA), but we had some excellent representation!
so awesome and original!
Great job everyone. I wish I had more time to do one for Poland, because I'm Polish American. Hope everyone liked my USA entry: tigirlyly's konadicure entry :)
Yeeeeeeeeeeees! Slovenia!!! <3
How did you add the red polish over the blue one? I'm trying to paint red french tips over blue and i tried 2 polishes and all of them look really dark over blue (when it's obvious since the blue is kinda dark) but i was wondering if you have any tips for this.
Nice to see these all together :)
Some great nails there!! This was my first entry and I loved doing it :D Can't wait to see the next challenge. www.kitschysuburbia.blogspot.com
Nice work everyone! Love it!
Boo I missed it. :( Work got in the way.
Man, I missed this one by a day! I will make it into one of the challenges some day!!!
Everybody did a great job! My favorite this week is from Tigirlyly's nails. I love the red, white & blue apple!
Everyone did amazing work! Seriously, they all look awesome!!
I sadly couldn't get my maple leaf to look, well, like a maple leaf, so I had to skip this challenge and not represent Canada (sadface!)
I love seeing these. All these different talents and ways of doing the same challenge, amazing!
II had great fun doing my one (Union Jack).
I had never done freehand nail art before, so it was scary but this challenge makes me go outside my comfort zone and I love that :o)
tip for yombix, when using regular nail polish such as a blue over a red, first paint the area with an opaque white. Let it dry and then apply the blue. The blue will then "pop". I used konad stamping nail polish and for the most part the colors stay true over most dark lacquer. Hope this helps.
these are so awesome!
I missed the challenge deadline!!! I thought it was sunday.
but i did it anyway because of Ghana in the world cup! Check out the link below!!
PinkNailBlog: Go Ghana!!!!!
All of the manis are fantastic, but Slovenian is the best. :)))))
