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

November 10, 2023 Lisa 0

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

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

November 7, 2023 Lisa 0

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

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

Simple skull and crossbones nail art on a purple/pink magnetic multichrome background filled with flakies and blue magnetic pull.

Magnetic Skulls

October 26, 2023 Lisa 0

I had a more elaborate design drawn up for today’s mani, but as a I stamped parts of the bone piles on the ends of the nails as a kind of French tip I realized I didn’t want to do more. The magnetic polish I used is super stuffed with 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

Black cat nail art with cute black cats cavorting across a cityscape with tiny mice stamped on a neon green to sparkly blue gradient.

Black Cat City

October 14, 2023 Lisa 0

It feels like a black cat year since this is the second time I’ve hit on the topic on an already bare year for nail art. I even have at least one more planned before the months’ end, but realistically I have two more that I’d like to post. Alas, Read More

Spider nail art of delicate, bejeweled spider webs with spider friends, framed by florals stamped on a dark musty green flakie polish.

Spiders, Spiders, Everywhere

October 3, 2023 Lisa 0

The spiders are certainly very visible presences right now. The orb weavers are orbing all over my yard and the house spiders are shaking tail in my home. It’s a weird point of pride when I see a particularly big one. Today’s look is for the spiders in my bushes. Read More

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

Autumn Skulls

September 20, 2023 Lisa 0

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

Back to school nail art of a girl reading a book on a glittery purple jelly sandwich background and more book stamping images.

It’s the time of year when US kids are heading back to school. The kids back in my old state are already in class while the kids where I live now only have a few weeks of summer left. So I thought I should paint some back to school nail Read More
