A Christmas-y plaid nail art using a magnetic thermal polish that runs from red (cold) to green (cold) and a green/copper plaid on top.

Magnetic Plaid

December 4, 2023 Lisa 0

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 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

A batty nail art with a background of blue plaid stamped over olive reflective glitter and music and bat stamping decals.

Rockin’ Plaid

September 12, 2023 Lisa 0

Today’s look mixes rock music, bats, and plaid so I guess we’ll have to call it grunge. A fantastic era of fashion that I participated in by purchasing the most horrible plaid skirt from Walmart. It was a half wrap, had no pleats even though I love pleats, and fastened Read More

Soft penguin nail art with metallic black stamping images of fanciful penguins and grey-blue geometric ice patterns.

Enchanted Penguins

Everything around me is saying spring (except, perhaps, the temperature of the room I’m in), but it technically is still winter so: penguins! And that makes me happy because I haven’t painted much in the way of penguin nail art and I have…so, so many stamping plates… #AZNailArtChallenge – ‘P’ Read More

A super mustard-y nail art with a stamped plaid background pattern and cute grey cat water decals sleeping, playing, and talking to you.

It has been a week-ish. Mostly because life got busy. I’m very sad to miss a few of the monthly prompts for @glamnailschallenge and just kept crossing off challenges that I wanted to paint for one after another all last week. So thwarted. Well, that’s life. Today I have a Read More

Endangered Elephant - Hermit Werds - a geometric elephant manicure in soft purples and blues

Endangered Elephants

November 29, 2017 Lisa 0

I certainly meant to have this come out yesterday (esp since I’ve already posted it to Instagram), but I guess that wasn’t in the cards. So this is my first post of the day and there will be another around noon MT. I live in America so elephants have definitely Read More

End of Summer Nights - Hermit Werds - young birds playing at night for one last time before summer ends and school begins

End of Summer Nights

August 18, 2017 Lisa 1

Ah, those glorious nights of summer where you get to stay up a little later because you don’t have school the next day. #26GreatNailArtIdeas had a prompt for the End of Summer so I decided to combine it with #NailArtChallengeAugust’s prompt of Stars and set it at night. I had Read More

One White Base, Four Summer Looks - Hermit Werds - Four different summer looks created on a white gel base

One White Base, Four Summer Looks

August 16, 2017 Lisa 5

I haven’t had a new blog post in two days, but believe me I’ve been keeping busy (or you can check my instagram account if you need proof). I was watching one of Jessface90‘s polish swatching videos and she made a remark about her white gel base starting to peel Read More

Waves in Motion - Hermit Werds - iridescent waves on a blue holo background

Waves in Motion

The other nail art prompt that I wanted to cover yesterday was Water for #StampingMasterAugust. Now Jaws had water in it, but it was all painted freehand so it didn’t really fit the name of the group. Plus I had this beautiful stamping plate from CICI & SISI with an Read More
