I'm throwing in the towel with this one. I completed the challenge requirements of two polishes in two collections a while ago, and I've decided it's time to move on rather than continue with my lofty goal of completing ALL the collections. It's been fun.

Main entry at message 70, which has links to my completions of the Alpine and American collections.

Jingles, just so I'm clear do I need to do two names each from two different collections or just two names but they must be from two different collections?
I'm doing The Japanese Collection but I only chose one polish, then I was going to move on to New York. My plan was to do one colour for all collections, if possible. As I'm coordinating my manis, I need to know if I'm kicking in Japan for a bit longer.

Hi Keli!

Just one name from a collection is required for the spell out part. The only requirement is that you complete two different collections (meaning the task and spelling out one name) in order to complete the challenge.

Does that make sense?

So if your plan is to spell out one name from each collection, plus the task, you are good to go. And remember - the book you read for the task can also be used in the spell out part :)
