Read moreDay 7: Black and White. Didn’t have a lot of time so this was done really quickly – like you can’t tell hehe.

Read moreDay 4 for of the 31 Day Challenge is GREEN. And yes, I am almost caught up! Here I went Green with Envy in a forest green hue. The polish used is Essence 179 Roller Coaster.
