Magnetic Plaid

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 peachy hygge tea nail art with stamping decals of a tea pot, a stack of books with a tea cup, and "stay cozy" decorated with leaves.

Stay Cozy

I managed to paint and turn in some Instagram collab manis during the non-posting stint, so I have another mani to share today. The prompt was hygge and the group was started by Lauren (@zenstamping) to follow the themes for Maniology’s ManixMe boxes. Buying their monthly boxes isn’t required to Read More

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

A golden, orange, and brown magnetic mani of fall leaves gently blending into each other for a soft, abstract look. + one bastard stink bug.

Fall Nemesis

I think I’m sorting out the frustrations keeping me from nail art-ing. It’s a combination of three things: First, having too many designs in a row that were struggle and the results were not true love. Output garbage = feel like garbage, I guess. Second, Google Chrome sucking and making Read More

Sheer tortoiseshell nails painted with jelly polishes in mustard and browns with some vintage Pooh and Piglet line art stamped on top.

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

Fall nail art of negative space oak leaves in a dusty blue over a flakie yellow (warm) to pink to orange (cold) thermal polish and oak trees.

I’m pretty happy with how many fall looks vs Halloween that I’ve managed to paint this year. I love fall and I’m always missing out on painting more looks for it because I get focused and then burnt out on Halloween. So November tends to be a light nail art-ing 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

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

Beautiful sunflower nail art in soft yellows on a shimmery orange background with a wicked flipside stamping of spiders on their webs.

Sunflowers and Spiders

Today’s look is all about sweet, beautiful sunflowers. Until it’s not. Hee hee! I truly love both sides of this nail art for different reasons, but holy cow it was a lot of layers. One layer for the spiders. One layer for the spider webs. Three layers of the magenta Read More

A celestial animal nail design with decals of a silver-outlined celestial deer, rabbit, and owl on a blue jelly sky with starry glitter.

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

A sweet fox nail art using watercolor-esque fox water decals on top of a pale yellow crelly base with metallic floral prints stamped on top.

It’s funny how we associate different things with different seasons even though they often exist all year round. Like…pumpkins being a fall thing makes sense because that’s when they are ready to be inserted into your face or plopped on your front stoop (this year I’m seeing a lot of Read More
