Teddy Bear Knight

February 22, 2024 Lisa 0

Today’s look is all about a cute teddy bear loving its child and protecting her at night from all the monsters. Creative Shop always has such amazing quality etched images on their plates. They go all the way from adorable to very naughty and buying from them is supporting a 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

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

Day of the Dead (Día de los Muertos) water decals of ornate sugar skulls on a thermal holographic polish that moves from pink to purple.

Day of the Dead

November 2, 2023 Lisa 0

Unlike Cinco de Mayo, the Day of the Dead is a holiday that people from Mexico actually celebrate. And it’s not only five million times more fun than Memorial Day, it feels more meaningful too. The most we ever did was go to the graveyard and clean the family tombstones. Read More

Skull nail art with skull water decals in white, black, orange, yellow, and green on a white background with black sponged around the edges.

Framed Skulls

October 16, 2023 Lisa 0

Some days I truly miss having long, natural nails. But then I remember how it was only one hand that ever got very long (because I’ve got things like yardwork to do) and how much I hated that lack of symmetry. And scratching myself and my loved ones. And having Read More

Autumnal nail art on a yellow/orange/brown thermal polish with skull, candle, and autumn leaf water decals on top.

Autumn Skulls

I meant to post a different nail art with autumn leaves today, but I I realized it fit a different prompt better and I luckily had this old design waiting in the wings. I painted this fall look clear back in 2020 on my cindy hand using the same base Read More

A silvery grey Capricorn nail art using magnetic gel that gives an almost reflective glitter look w/Saturn, symbol, and sea goat head + tail.

Zodiac Collection: Capricorn

December 29, 2022 Lisa 0

Happy birthday to all the lovely Capricorns out there! I can’t believe it’s been a (almost) a year since we started this zodiac challenge. And I managed to get in every one (although I do have a few I want to have a second go at…). I definitely got some Read More

Graffiti nail art protesting Roe vs Wade being overturned with a neon freehand painted uterus flipping the fimbriae + "No Choice".

No Choice Graffiti

July 20, 2022 Lisa 0

In case it wasn’t clear enough when I posted my own thoughts on Maniology’s non-support for women’s reproductive rights, I am very much pro-choice. And in fact, I have been wondering why we on the side of choice continue to allow so-called “pro-lifers” to call themselves such. We know it’s Read More

Valentine's nail art in white, red, and pink with water decals of cute white kittens and their love for balls of yarn.

A Yarn Love Story

February 14, 2022 Lisa 0

Happy Valentine’s Day! While I much prefer the sales on China’s Singles Day, the nail art for this holiday is much prettier. Today I decided to highlight other kinds of love by featuring kittens and string/yarn instead. Possibly it’s also because beyond adding hearts to things, I rarely highlight romantic Read More

A watercolor nail art with a sea turtle with mandala-esque patterns and lots of kelp colored in with actual watercolor paint.

Sea Turtle in Watercolor

January 29, 2021 Lisa 2

I’ve been in a bit of a funk for the past few days, but I’ve finally gotten myself together enough to write this (brief) post. And, hey, it’s also been a while since I painted something with watercolor. And it’s been even longer–almost two years–since I painted my nails with Read More
