Lucky Year of the Dragon

I spotted these Chinese dragon nail charms maybe two years ago and I knew that I wanted to use them to paint Year of the Dragon nails for Chinese New Year. So I kept my eye on the listing and purchased them this November and they are huge! Pretty much Read More

Mad Hatter nail art on a soft sage polish w/stamping images of the original Alice in Wonderland illustrations of the tea party from the books.

Mad Hatter’s Tea Party

March 3, 2024 Lisa 0

I love Alice in Wonderland. It’s so open to interpretation and the world is already crazy. Lately I’ve been watching a lot of music videos and there are quite a few that have drawn from Alice in Wonderland. An older favorite is Gwen Stefani’s crazy music video for “What You Read More

Vampire nail art with a crystal ball inviting you to "A night of horror!" with Dracula and a lady vampire on a floral rose background.

Vampire Ball

In some ways you could say that today’s look is the last Valentine’s Day nail art I truly painted for February. It’s very close to being a completely pink monochrome. It’s about a ball so that’s pretty romantic. It has a floral background and sexy people on it. Very fair. Read More

Practical Magic nail art featuring two of the characters dressed as witches while holding umbrellas, a moon cycle half moon, and movie quote.

Practical Magic

I’ll admit that to me, Practical Magic is a Sandra Bullock movie. I know, I know. The cast also has greats like Stockard Channing and Nicole Kidman too. I promise I love them as well. But over all I’ve loved more of Sandra Bullock’s movies and characters so she tends Read More

Yellow cherry nail art on a sunny yellow super shifty polish with reverse stamping of a cherry "bomb", yellow cherries, hearts, and flowers.

Yellow Cherries

At last! I’m on the final prompt for the month from @glamNailsChallenge and it was cherries so I decided to depart from Valentine’s Day nail art while at the same time using ManixMe plates that were made for it. (Hence the hearts added to the visual mix.) Now normally cherries Read More

Anti-Valentine nail art w/candy hearts ("meh" heart) and a llama using an umbrella to deflect hearts on a purple base w/red to black flakies.

“Meh” Hearts

February 26, 2024 Lisa 0

Part of the reason why I’ve painted so much Valentine’s Day nail art is because I’ve been following @glamNailsChallenge’s prompts for the month. They could be interpreted in other ways, but I rather felt like leaning in this year because… Past Lisa kept buying Valentine’s-focused stamping plates with the thought Read More

Lace half moon nail art embellished w/bronze, rhinestone-studded nail charms on a purple (cold) to hot pink (warm) thermal. Flipside hearts.

Lace Stilettos

February 24, 2024 Lisa 1

The world has moved on from Valentine’s Day, but I have not (yet). Today’s look is very simple lace half moon, but it comes with a super cool thermal polish from purple (cold) to hot pink (warm) on my super long stiletto falsies. (If you don’t have a thermal polish, Read More

A tarot card mani featuring The Sun card using a space-esque stripped background, sun and moon cycle half moons and golden tarot cards.

Tarot Card: The Sun

February 22, 2024 Lisa 0

I have so much respect for artists that manage to get through the whole tarot deck. I’ve seen several try and even finishing a set of the 22 major arcana cards is a huge accomplishment. They have so much symbolism associated with them that if you’re doing it right, just Read More

Teddy Bear Knight

February 22, 2024 Lisa 0

Today’s look is all about a cute teddy bear loving its child and protecting her at night from all the monsters. Creative Shop always has such amazing quality etched images on their plates. They go all the way from adorable to very naughty and buying from them is supporting a Read More

Butterfly nail art in bright blue with swirls of magnetic particles and star fields with butterflies stamped on top. Flipside butterflies.

Celestial Butterflies

When I first got started in nail art, galaxy manis used to only mean some kind of sponged gradient with stars added on top, but these days there’s such a wide range of techniques to play with. Instead of a gradient, why not use a magnetic polish? Especially a gel Read More
