Cozy and Creepy
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

Turkey Dance
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

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

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
![Spooky gnome nail art with spider webs and three gnomes dressed as a bat-loving witch, a ghost, and a cobweb covered spider lover.](http://hermitism.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/halloween-gnomes_01-360x270.jpg)
Halloween Gnomes
Gnomes have become the thing. I’d say their popularity has really grown the past two years and they’ve taken the place of the unicorn plates everyone had to make. Only for some reason gnomes fit in everywhere so you can get a regular plate with a few gnomes thrown in Read More
![A jack-o-lantern and bats nail art with tiny bats delivering jack-o-lanterns on a dusty teal flakie-filled background for Halloween.](http://hermitism.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/pumpkin-delivery_01-360x270.jpg)
Pumpkin Delivery
I didn’t have a bat prompt for this Halloween, so of course I had to find a way to sneak them in because I love bats. I had this design sketched up last year of little bats delivering pumpkins so when the jack-o-lantern prompt came up, I knew what I Read More
![Black cat nail art with cute black cats cavorting across a cityscape with tiny mice stamped on a neon green to sparkly blue gradient.](http://hermitism.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/black-cat-city_01-360x270.jpg)
Black Cat City
It feels like a black cat year since this is the second time I’ve hit on the topic on an already bare year for nail art. I even have at least one more planned before the months’ end, but realistically I have two more that I’d like to post. Alas, Read More

Down the Rabbit Hole
We wish Alice luck as she’s off on her adventure in Wonderland. Meanwhile today’s mani is in celebration of Mad Hatter Day; although ironically it doesn’t have a single image of the hatter himself. It’s a little weird that he gets a day when Alice doesn’t, but apparently a group Read More

Autumn Nights
The title of the post is the name of the prompt I painted for. So I’m not being very imaginative there, but I do think I’m improving on the think out of the box thing. Because if I’d painted this a few years ago it would have been some trees Read More
