    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!

    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 :)

    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.

    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.
