I have not felt like painting nail art this past while. So I finally decided to dig back into my files and find something I haven’t posted yet. This spring nail art is simplicity itself because I painted it right when I was trying to keep going with my hobby Read More
Today’s look started with disappointment. I swatched a new polish I had purchased and it did not look at all like the photos. I checked the brand’s page and it looked like the pigment wasn’t stable enough and all of it changed between the time the swatchers took their photos 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
