I'm game.  I think I burned myself out on the one I did in September.  I always felt bad I never finished.

 
Yay! Wonderful! I'm happy you're all planning on joining in.

I know what you mean! I was amazed at those who did the daily challenge. I was doing the every three days marathon, and just posted my 'flag' mani recently. But I think this schedule will be much more manageable as my regular schedule for doing a new mani is closer to it!

Super! I'm really looking forward to creating manis based on the 30 Inspirations!

Hooray!  Can't wait to start!

Me neither! :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> I definitely felt I was ready for another challenge.

In case people are interested in submitting an Inspiration mani too (it's not required to participate, but will be fun too!), the sign-up sheet for submitting inspiration manis will be posted above, and in the thread, soon.

 
I think I'm also going to challenge myself that I HAVE to do all the manicures with polishes already in my collection.  I was in the middle of a huge polish-aquiring spree last year when we did this, and if I didn't have something "perfect" for the challenge, I'd go buy it.  Well, not this time!  I have to adapt and figure it out with what I have (which is 2 full boxes of nail polish, so no one feel sorry for me.  I have waaaaay too much as it is!)

This is a super idea! I can't promise 100% as I'm still eyeing (hmm, this word just looks strange to me as 'eying') some gel polishes, but it's a fantastic thing to aspire to, and I'll let you know how I do too. :unsure: :lol: It's totally a reasonable thing for me given my... ahem, not only two... boxes.

 
Hi folks!

I'm excited to let you know that the 30 Inspirations Nail Art Challenge 2014 will be starting this Friday! Keep your eyes peeled for the First Inspiration, which will be coming soon. As you know, you'll have five days for each mani, and here is the timeline! If you're interested in participating, take a look at the Inspiration mani, be inspired, and create your own mani version/variation/creative departure, take some pic(s), and post them here!
 

I thank our volunteers who submitted the first set of Inspirations so we can get started soon! If you're also interested in submitting an Inspiration, the sign-up list is coming next!

Ok, here is a demo of how to sign up. @Courtnee ♥’s ... I've added you to the sign-up sheet for Set Five. You are now signed up! If you're another person who is interested in signing up to submit an inspiration, either post your comment on the thread like Courtnee ♥’s ... did or Quote this post as if to comment on it and add your name to the list.

Of course - you can use whatever nail polish you have and makes you happy! The whole point is to have fun, share our nail art, and learn new techniques. Don't feel pressured to use better or fancier polishes or tools, and don't feel like your nail art or the inspiration you send in isn't good enough. There are many levels of ability and experience with nail art on MakeupTalk. I for one am definitely a novice :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I think we all aspire to get nail polish for cheap! :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> Believe it or not, some of the best nail polishes for doing anything - straightforward one-colour mani, excellent white base, perfect pigmented shade for stamping... are from the more inexpensive lines when it comes to nail polish. If you take a look through the stamping and nail polish threads, you'll see recommendations from nail art enthusiasts for specific Wet 'n Wild, Sinful Colors, and other drugstore brand colours. It's good to know!

So yes, it's totally OK.

Simple Inspiration mani submissions are great as people can choose to keep it simple or elaborate as they wish in their own manis. And if you see a complex inspiration mani, you can take one aspect of it for your own mani. We don't all have the same materials or talents, but that is what makes it interesting.

Wonderful!

And we're still looking for people who are game to submit Inspiration manis, especially for Set Two as it will come soon and we're all looking forward to being inspired!

I signed up to submit for set two! 

 
I'm more of a beginner when it comes to nail art. But I'll see if I can come up with something to submit an inspiration.
