毎日は楽しくなりました。

Would you translate this: Every day was fun.

or

Every day became fun.

I know that なる can be used to say that A becomes B. But in this example what
is the nuance of the meaning of なる？

How would you translate: 毎日は楽しくなりました。
毎日は楽しくなりました generally makes it seem like the context is:

1) everyday life was not much fun before

2) a particular thing happened and pretty much changed it over night

3) everyday life is now fun.

Thus, it's difficult to actually translate this into an English sentence that
contains all that context. Something like "everyday life became fun".

As for Kdansky's post above, the てしまった form _could_ add more emphasis on the
fact that "yeah, it really DID become fun". However, the てきた form that he used
implies something slightly different: that it wasn't a "particular thing" that
changed the situation "overnight", but rather that everyday life steadily
became more enjoyable, and now it is fun.
