I know a lot of us have…additional feelings about anything smacking of Harry Potter since Rowlings can’t keep her mouth shut about what a transphobe she is. So this was a hard collab for many and some of the people that would have joined in didn’t. And some of us 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

Pirate nail art with tons of pirate details (parrots, treasure chest, gold island, maps, pirate hat, pirate ship, lighthouse, kraken, etc).

Ahoy, friends! It’s Talk Like a Pirate Day and I’m celebrating with this booty-filled mani, which apparently meant working on it last minute because my brain wanted to finish three other manis before getting around to this one. Oh, well. It’s my hobby so I can be ahead and behind Read More

Neon Carnival

It only started to look like I was getting into fall colors because today’s look is neon, neon, neon. And finally using the ManixMe plates from ManixMe’s December 2022 Fun Fair box. I am so behind on those boxes. 😭 Anyway, I am also a big fan of the condom Read More

Star Wars nail art for the Rebel Alliance w/stamping images of "May the 4th Be With You", a rebel fighter, and the Jedi order's framed symbol.

May the 4th Be With You

I don’t know why my Star Wars nail art always turn out very simple. Possibly I’m holding back in case someone is looking for inspiration to paint their own Star Wars mani. It wouldn’t be much help if it was impossible to repeat. So here I am with five stamping Read More

Cute little winter bird nail art with stamping decals of birds in hats and scarves on an extra glitzy blue nail polish

Winter Birds

I swear I’ve done nothing but mess up everything I’ve painted the past few days, but we’ll post what we have to post and today’s look is a pretty blue nail art with cute winter bird stamping decals. I went the human way when I talk about winter birds because Read More

Did you know that in the Vietnamese people are celebrating the lunar new year for the Year of the Cat instead of the rabbit? There’s some debate on what caused the cultural change which you can read about in this NPR article. I’m just happy that I knew about it Read More

Year of the Rabbit

I’ve been painting nail art for Chinese New Year since 2018. It kinda terrifies me that I will have to paint for five more years before I can rest on my laurels and just repost the nail art I already did (optionally, mean 😜). In previous years I painted at Read More

We’re back for a new full moon and a new mani to celebrate it…the Wolf Moon! Did you know that this year there will be thirteen full moons instead of 2022’s twelve? There is an extra moon in August called the Blue Moon. This challenge will be done in April, Read More

A grey, black, and silver glitzy gift mani for Christmas with double stamped giant bows and ribbons and holographic glitter sparkling away.

Wrapped in Grey

December 25, 2022 Lisa 0

Merry Christmas! Today’s gifted look is an older design. One that I painted several years ago on my natural nails. I’ve actually already destashed the black polish that you are seeing because I hated how gritty it looked in real life. (Also, Nee Jolie’s formula stinks really bad, so any Read More
