31 Day Challenge: Inspired by a Movie

For the movie inspiration, I went with the latest movie adaptation of F. Scott Fitgerald’s The Great Gatsby. That book/movie is all about the glitz, glamour and disillusionment of the 1920s.

Luckily there’s a person on Instagram that goes by Californails that creates monthly nail art challeges.
