Magnetic Plaid

It’s a very plaid time of year and I’m back with another plaid look. Now I’d finally caved and purchased one of UberChic’s fantastic plaid layering plates (03 if you must know), BUT it wasn’t going to arrive in time for the plaid collab on Instagram so I used my Read More

A peachy hygge tea nail art with stamping decals of a tea pot, a stack of books with a tea cup, and "stay cozy" decorated with leaves.

I managed to paint and turn in some Instagram collab manis during the non-posting stint, so I have another mani to share today. The prompt was hygge and the group was started by Lauren (@zenstamping) to follow the themes for Maniology’s ManixMe boxes. Buying their monthly boxes isn’t required to Read More

A simple orange magnetic Halloween quilt nail art with cozy quilt patterns of everything from pumpkins to black cats to spiders in black.

I already had a tiny backlog of nail art to post and instead of posting those, I finished another collab mani that I wanted to post today. And it’s not for Thanksgiving because that’s barely a holiday to me outside of yummy food and seeing family. No, it’s Halloween. Because Read More

Alas, the gap in nail art happened as predicted, but at least you had some warning this time, my poor reader! Today’s look was obviously in celebration of the United State’s Thanksgiving. Honestly, it’s a bit of a problematic holiday to me considering the story we tell about it compared Read More

A golden, orange, and brown magnetic mani of fall leaves gently blending into each other for a soft, abstract look. + one bastard stink bug.

Fall Nemesis

I think I’m sorting out the frustrations keeping me from nail art-ing. It’s a combination of three things: First, having too many designs in a row that were struggle and the results were not true love. Output garbage = feel like garbage, I guess. Second, Google Chrome sucking and making Read More

A blue on blue hedgehog nail art design with a double stamped floral hedgehog framed by light blue texture polish.

Winter Hedgehog

It amuses me that I have a very blue (with a little purple) nail art to share right after a lot of Democratic voting victories here in America. I didn’t plan it that way though. This cute little hedgehog mani was painted clear back in 2021 and I just never Read More

Sweater nail art with cute sweater patterns in red and green on a sweet glittery white crelly and a few sweater decals too. Almost Christmas.

I know I just said the posts might get scarce this month, but I already had this basically done except for writing the blog post itself. And I actually have two more posts after that before I have to put painting effort forth or I have nothing to blog about. Read More

Sheer tortoiseshell nails painted with jelly polishes in mustard and browns with some vintage Pooh and Piglet line art stamped on top.

Hundred Acre Wood

I think I lost momentum somewhere in the middle of October and I just haven’t been able to get it back. The yard needs me to weed it because fall is a growing season. I have soooo many weeds. The cat needs love. The people needs love. Other things that Read More

Day of the Dead (Día de los Muertos) water decals of ornate sugar skulls on a thermal holographic polish that moves from pink to purple.

Day of the Dead

Unlike Cinco de Mayo, the Day of the Dead is a holiday that people from Mexico actually celebrate. And it’s not only five million times more fun than Memorial Day, it feels more meaningful too. The most we ever did was go to the graveyard and clean the family tombstones. Read More

Simple skull and crossbones nail art on a purple/pink magnetic multichrome background filled with flakies and blue magnetic pull.

Magnetic Skulls

I had a more elaborate design drawn up for today’s mani, but as a I stamped parts of the bone piles on the ends of the nails as a kind of French tip I realized I didn’t want to do more. The magnetic polish I used is super stuffed with Read More
