Hello Ladies! So I have teamed up with Scooby from Dynamite Does Nails to start an awesome new challenge that is essentially EXACTLY the same as the 30 (or 31) Day Nail Challenge with ONE LITTLE TWEAK! I don't know about you, but I can be a busy, busy girl at times and as much as I'd like to think I could do a mani every single day.....well I just can't! So the 30 Manis Marathon is for the gal with the busy lifestyle, or even for the gal who loves to admire a mani for a few days!



We we'll be redoing our manis every 3-4 days instead of everyday and we invite you to follow along on this thread! We were inspired by some recent blog posts that are starting the 31 Day Nail Challenge this Sunday, September 1st, so that's when we'll be starting ours as well. If you have already decided to do the original 31 Day Nail Challenge, then guess what, you can STILL join us! Just hold on to your daily pictures of each mani and when we post a new one for ours, post that particular one as well!

Please let me know if you have any questions, but if you're thinking of following along, please sign on in! The more manis the merrier!

lol i won't be participating, but i'm definitely subscribing so I can look in awe at your pretty manis.

 
im excited too! i've got my notepad out jotting down ideas for themes...crazy thing is, red is one of the ones i'm stuck on...

 
Yay! You all who are joining, feel free to share the thread pic and Marathon details on your various social media platforms and invite people to join as well! (if you don't blog/FB/Instagram, that's all good too)! 

 
I'll try it. I've gotten away from doing my nails every few days, and let them go for a about a week at a time. Maybe this will give me the inspiration (and kick in the butt) to get back to doing them more often. :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

 
I'm living vicariously for you guys. I'm off of nail polish for the next few months (hopefully it's just a few months), dermatologist's orders.

Womp wah.

 
I am IN!!! My nails chip in less than 24 hours anyway, so I'm constantly redoing my nails.  It'll actually be nice to not have to worry about which color to do next!

Me too, not sure I will be able to do all the challenges but I will try.

How exciting! I'm thinking about it, but I've never done a nail challenge before either. I tend to keep my manis for a week to two weeks, believe it or not, as though I have frequent trouble with bubbles (I don't shake, and I do clean the nail surface first), chipping is not too bad, especially with a little occasional touch-up on my 2 culprit nails! I think I could handle a week for each, but not sure about 4 days.

If I did it, where do we post? Here? I don't blog, which is why I ask.

And is it OK if I'm a bit delayed on the first one? After that I think I can catch up no problem - I think this will be exciting and will change my approach from the 'wee touch up' habit.

I'm so excited to see everyone joining up! Can't wait to see all of the awesome manis!

To answer your questions Monika, yup! Here is where we'll be posting. Bloggers are welcome to post this onto their blogs as well, but I know everyone doesn't have a blog, so that's why I wanted to start it up on MUT as well! If you are a blogger, though, you are more than welcome to do both!

and yes, absolutely, delays are fine

There are 3-4 days between each mani anyhow, so you don't necessarily have to post exactly on the first day, if you need a few more days, no biggie

Can't wait till tomorrow!

 
is it bad I already did my red today? lol I got excited. I will wait to post until tomorrow with everyone else though.

I've done my red too lol! Posting tomorrow!! And about posting, post anywhere and everywhere you want! Here/Blogs/facebook/instagram! I have all of those so I will be posting everywhere lol. If you post on instagram or facebook, remember to hashtag it with #30manis2013 :D /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> I'm so excited to see so many people joined up!!
 
can't wait!! just did my nails. i'll probably take pictures tomorrow and post though. I'm sure mine won't be nearly as love as y'alls XD

on a slightly OT note, what does everyone use for cuticle remover? I'm a bad girl and don't usually use any ^^;; my cuticles are generally in good condition so I've never felt the need, but now I want to take them to the next level of Perfection lol. I've heard good things about the Sally Hansen one...
