Beware the Kraken

There are too many human monsters running around trying to take other people’s rights. Please be sure to vote this year (and that includes the primaries where the main candidates get picked!). With that said, it’s time to celebrate one of my favorite oceanic monsters: the kraken. I love cephalopods. Read More

A modern red, orange, and yellow (mustard) cactus nail art combined with abstract shapes to create a fun minimalist look.

Autumnal Cactus

You may have noticed that I’m using a lot of false nails lately. Well, this is the last mani I painted before I had to chop my nails short. Y’see, that time a few months ago when I shut my finger in the door has come back to haunt my Read More

A fiery magnetic nail art for the zodiac sign Leo; stamping decals include a geometric letters spell "Leo", a Leo symbol + a lion-like lady.

Zodiac Collection: Leo

It’s funny because in some ways I’ve been trying to make my nail art fancier lately with more layering of elements and kinda amping up my backgrounds. And here we are today and it’s just a magnetic and one stamp per nail. But, wait! This is part of the zodiac Read More

I think the moon manis have been my best project this year although it may be too soon to say since we’re only four prompts in. All I know is that I’ve been very happy with each one for different reasons. This one turned out super cute and I actually Read More

Mythical nail art with teal origami stamping decals of dragons, unicorns, and Pegasus on top of a jelly coral base and pond geometric pattern.

In a Coral Fantasy

August 10, 2022 Lisa 2

Long, long ago I bought Moyou London’s Origami Collection-05 stamping plate. It has lots of origami figures on it (as opposed to the patterns that make the bulk of the collection). I used it in three different manis, fully intending to paint three more manis and fully use the entire Read More

Shark nail art with cute sharks who have taken bites out of hearts as stamping decals on a glitzy blue base polish.

Shark Love

August 5, 2022 Lisa 0

I am definitely the part of the population that loves Shark Week because I love sharks. Who wouldn’t love an animal that bites things because one of its major environmental inputs is its mouth. When can I get that excuse? But Shark Week is in July and I totally missed Read More

A punany bee nail art with stamping decals of ghost bees (boo bees) on a bright orange crelly with green glitter that glows orange in the dark.

Boo Bees

Why, yes, I am a child at heart. So once I’d noticed that one of the stamping plates I had both made a pun that was a little bit naughty while also being innocent and had a Halloween element, I had to do it. Had to. And that is why Read More

Summer nail art with melting popsicles and ice cream stamping decals on top of a crelly that resembles chocolate mint ice cream.

You Make Me Melt

August 2, 2022 Lisa 2

It’s not terribly original, but I totally had to paint ice cream nails when given a “melt” prompt. Luckily no one else chose to use the Creative Shop-120 stamping plate with the perfect phrase “You make me melt”, which made for an easy themed nail art. My greatest hardship was Read More
