What's a monthly manicure?

Each month, we create a themed set of colors and throw a manicure showdown!

These colors are available to purchase in a customizable box for a limited time only. You choose which colors you'd like to work with and any extras you may need!

Then, our community creates their sets with their own interpretation of the theme and submits their entries. Our community votes on winners for a set of categories! Winners are featured on this page and get a portion of their next month's set on us!

How do I participate?

While the monthly manicure is available for purchase, build your custom set of colors! Choose 3+ colors, then follow the steps to purchase any glitter, oils, or add ons you may need to create your manicure. We'll box up your custom manicure set and get it sent out to you shortly!

Once you receive your colors, create your manicure following the rules and submission guildelines below!

How do I submit my manicure?

Use the monthly hashtag #TDNOVEMBER25 and post your manicure to instagram or in our tundra dip facebook group. Make sure the hashtag is applied properly, or we won't be able to see your submission!

Submissions are accepted from the 1st of the month through Thursday at 11:59PM CST during week 3 (see monthly timeline).

What are the rules?

you must purchase and use at least 3 monthly colors in your manicure

you may use ONE non-monthly color (core, live, etc) to accent your manicure

nail art is allowed, but must be simple and used as an accent to the manicure, and may not cover entire nails or colors. the monthly colors must remain the focal point of the manicure
