Day 3: Inspired by your country

So it is inspired by your country day.

 I admit that I found this kind of difficult. It is hard to be inspired by America. When I think of the U.S. it is hard to look past the obese, fried chicken, and 'murica jokes.

 So I kinda did the challenge a little differently today.

 I did it as "inspired by your state" instead. I live in southern California. The first thing I think of are beaches. So I did a lovely beach inspired manicure. I used Zoya's Zuza for the water and Sally Hansen Gem Crush's Big Money for the beach. I put little pink gems where the water meets the sand to represent seashells.

 This manicure screams California!

I'm really proud of this manicure. I've gotten a lot better at applying it on myself neatly so there is less clean-up. I really think my simple skill set has grown.

I did the "sand" portion free-handed. No tape for me this time!

Well what do you think? Sorry for the late post. I had school today.

 I'll see you guys around the same time tomorrow!
