Blog posts with a Christmas-y theme, mostly nail art. Covers a wide variety of Christmas themes from snowflakes and Christmas trees to Santa, reindeer, presents, and Christmas cats. Both traditional red and green color schemes as well as more unusual ones.
There’s always at least one ugly sweater prompt floating around Instagram for December. It’s tradition and it’s fun if you’ve embraced the truth that ugly really means tacky. And I love tacky. The more I look at these nails, the more I love them. I’m always one for rainbows, but Read More
The great thing about not prioritizing getting all my finished Christmas nail art posted (many tasty things were made instead) is that now I’m ahead when it comes to next year. Woo! Today’s look is all sorts of Christmas, but I’ve decided to share it anyway since it’s part of Read More
Today’s second look is a marriage between two Instagram prompts and my ongoing interest in using all the puns on Moyou London’s Noel Collection-10 stamping plate. Picking my pun was easy. One of the prompts was mistletoe which perfectly matched the Mistle Toad. The next prompt was ornament. The toad Read More
I actually posted this mani last year and saw, too late, a gingerbread mani by Megan (@two.peas.and.polish). It had an element in it that I wanted to steal so bad. I even mentioned it at the end of the 1.0 gingerbread blog post. I’ve embedded her Insta post below the Read More

Today’s look is brought to you by poinsettias, a flower that I have painted fairly consistently over the years. (Not nearly as many as roses though.) This is probably the simplest version I’ve ever done since it’s just the base and a negative space pattern of poinsettias on top. I’d Read More
I have been trying to finish this nail art for two years. I painted the base in December of 2021 and stamped the images. Then I painted a clear polish over them to turn them into decals and got distracted. Christmas was over. I’d only managed to fill in half Read More
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
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
