“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

A glittery silver base polish with an alcohol ink rainbow and reverse stamping decals of cute frolicking alicorns and unicorns. Glow in the dark.

Stay Magical, Unicorn!

It’s June and I’m finally getting myself together to paint a unicorn mani for Junicorn. Naturally I had to drag some glow in the dark stuff into the party. And it is a party because this is my mani for the Saucy Collab and the prompt was Juneicorn Jubilee. I Read More

Pool party nail art using mint polish and a soft beige glitter crelly with stamping decals of anthropomorphic animals swimming and dj-ing.

Pool Party

The prompt was pool party, a very summer-y topic, and I had this cool stamping plate with little animals playing sports. It’s nice when you get to be utterly literal except I realize now looking at this nail art that it’s an introvert’s pool party. Everyone is all alone on Read More

Purple, pink, and blue smoosh marble nail art with fabulously hat-ed witch and black cat familiar.

Witch’s Familiar

This was a nail art that just kept getting away from me. I knew a smoosh marble was going to happen, but I didn’t have a color scheme plan for my accent nails. The cat had to be black because that’s @clairestelle8challenge’s prompt but the colors I used in my Read More

Pink and Teal (Water Marble)

Today we have a Pink and Teal color prompt from #WhenColoursCollide. I actually managed this water marble before I did all the crazy rainbow ones for Rainbow In-carnation. I was only planning on water marbling for two nails. I had the door closed, the humidifier on, and…I let the water Read More

Hot Hearts - Hermit Werds - a pink gradient and black texture polish design with heart sequins and holo

Hot Hearts

Someday I’m going to use “Belugaria” as not a kind of lava rock because this is a lot like the magma tutorial I followed even though it wasn’t even on my mind when I sketched this out. I do have some lovely spikes I can use. Hmmm… Anyway, this was Read More

New Beginnings - Hermit Werds - Ultraviolet nail art for New Year 2018 with baby heads

New Beginnings

I’m not really into Pantone’s color of the year thing. I’m sure their research scope is much broader than mine (web design trends, interior design, minimalism, and nail art mostly), but I really don’t think Greenery ended up being the color for 2017. The polish makers dutifully came up with Read More
