Love Potion

February 17, 2024 Lisa 1

I’ve really been hitting the whole Valentine’s Day thing much harder this year than I usually do, but sometimes it’s fun to just go all in. Except in colors. I just looked back at this month’s progress and I haven’t exactly been indulging in soft and sweet love-y pastels. Well, Read More

NSFW Mardi Gras nail art in purple, green, and gold featuring images referencing the flashing for Mardi Gras beads tradition.

Flashing Mardi Gras (NSFW)

February 12, 2024 Lisa 0

This is the first post on the blog that is not safe for work and honestly it’s a little garbage that it’s getting stuck in that category but apparently women’s nipples are athema so here we are. I want to be clear: this nail art is meant to be silly. Read More

Sexy ghost nail art w/leggy ghost models posing against a burnt orange background, gold stars, black/cream stripes & cute quotes. Recreation.

Hot Ghost October

October 4, 2023 Lisa 2

Today’s look might just confirm for you that I am odd. Last year @iamdeliasnails painted an absolutely beautiful ghost mani and I told her then that I wanted to recreate it. I did not tell her that I was going to take liberties in the elements that I changed. Because Read More

A practicing witch/wizard nail art with decals of potions, wands, crystal balls, etc. on a thermal brown to lilac flakie filled polish.

Wizard School

I know a lot of us have…additional feelings about anything smacking of Harry Potter since Rowlings can’t keep her mouth shut about what a transphobe she is. So this was a hard collab for many and some of the people that would have joined in didn’t. And some of us Read More

Pirate nail art with tons of pirate details (parrots, treasure chest, gold island, maps, pirate hat, pirate ship, lighthouse, kraken, etc).

Treasure Cove

Ahoy, friends! It’s Talk Like a Pirate Day and I’m celebrating with this booty-filled mani, which apparently meant working on it last minute because my brain wanted to finish three other manis before getting around to this one. Oh, well. It’s my hobby so I can be ahead and behind Read More

A spicy kitten nail art with devilish kitten stamping decals against a fire-y orange glow in the dark background and one sleepy angel cat.

Spicy Kittens

September 6, 2023 Lisa 2

The internet was made to share pictures and videos of cats. This is fact. And that’s how I learned that tiny feral kitten bebbies that are ungratefully hissing at their human rescuers are called “spicy”. Such a fitting term and I am here for it. So when I had a Read More

Chinese New Year nail art for the Year of the Rabbit with holographic red, deep mustard, gold, and black polish + rabbit cutouts and bamboo.

Year of the Rabbit

January 21, 2023 Lisa 0

I’ve been painting nail art for Chinese New Year since 2018. It kinda terrifies me that I will have to paint for five more years before I can rest on my laurels and just repost the nail art I already did (optionally, mean 😜). In previous years I painted at Read More

Golden pineapple nail art on blue stiletto falsies with a beautiful art deco lace pattern stamped in the background and half moons.

Royal Pineapple

July 7, 2022 Lisa 1

Today I have a fruity look with golden pineapples on a sophisticated lace art deco pattern. Then I threw half moons into the mix and wrote up a quick mini tutorial on how to recreate the look. I honestly don’t know what it is about pineapples, but making them the Read More

A cedar green owl nail art with an iridescent glitter jelly sandwich and owl, feathers, lock, and key reverse stamping decals.

Owl Glower

May 8, 2022 Lisa 0

Today we have an older look that I meant to share years ago. I always loved this image of an owl perched on a key with a heart lock and roses so I made it the center point of this mani. Then I just took those elements and found ways Read More

A plum-colored nail art celebrating Carnival season in Italy with golden strings of beads and many different masks.

Carnival

January 29, 2022 Lisa 0

Here we are: my last catchup post from the move. The #AZ prompt this time was ‘I’ is for Italy. I thought about going with food since I definitely had the stamping plates for it, but I had already painted food with the France prompt. I also pretty much never Read More
