Practical Magic

I’ll admit that to me, Practical Magic is a Sandra Bullock movie. I know, I know. The cast also has greats like Stockard Channing and Nicole Kidman too. I promise I love them as well. But over all I’ve loved more of Sandra Bullock’s movies and characters so she tends Read More

The world has moved on from Valentine’s Day, but I have not (yet). Today’s look is very simple lace half moon, but it comes with a super cool thermal polish from purple (cold) to hot pink (warm) on my super long stiletto falsies. (If you don’t have a thermal polish, Read More

Tarot Card: The Sun

I have so much respect for artists that manage to get through the whole tarot deck. I’ve seen several try and even finishing a set of the 22 major arcana cards is a huge accomplishment. They have so much symbolism associated with them that if you’re doing it right, just Read More

Royal Pineapple

Today I have a fruity look with golden pineapples on a sophisticated lace art deco pattern. Then I threw half moons into the mix and wrote up a quick mini tutorial on how to recreate the look. I honestly don’t know what it is about pineapples, but making them the Read More

I’ve had this nail art sketched out in my nail art ideas booklet for a looong time and I was super happy to finally have an excuse to paint it for @AZNailArtChallenge’s ‘U’ is for Umbrella prompt. Pretty much combining happy wild songbirds with my favorite weather (rain) and umbrellas! Read More

No review today since all the items from Beauty BigBang were used in yesterday’s design. That said, I thought it was important to post two different designs since there were 12 different kinds of rhinestone in the grid. So today’s look sports the golden heart and round rhinestones with a Read More

Snowman Wonderland

January 14, 2019 Lisa 1

This design was certainly a trial. I started the month with the illusion that I’d be following the #GlamNailsChallenge prompts. Nope! Okay…I thought I could combine the first two prompts of Snowman and Mittens and then follow the rest normally. I had two snowmen stamping images wearing mittens. Nope! My Read More

Orange and Teal

September 18, 2017 Lisa 2

So today is half moon day on #31DC2017 and it’s also the day that we’re supposed to be able to publicly release our nail art for #WhenColoursCollide from FB. This is a case where I didn’t have the color I wanted to stamp with and I tried finding a white Read More

Half Moons

Half moon manicures are just not something I do very often. And I will get bored of my nails before they grow out so I don’t benefit from that particular advantage either. I have seen some amazing manicures with them, but for the most part they don’t do anything for Read More
