[Press Sample] Ah, how the simplest of plans can go awry. I have another design that was supposed to go live before this one, but I turned it in for a challenge with a final collage and it’s five days late with no word as to why. *sigh* So today Read More
[press sample] I do tend to favor cats when it comes to…everything. But BeautyBigBang XL-008 has cute images of both dogs and cats so I decided to focus on the doggy side for once and combined it with a gorgeous multichrome flakie powder with holographic flecks (J6474TM-10A) that Beauty BigBang Read More

I don’t know about you but I’ve been operating with a personal list of holidays I celebrate for a while and it’s now bleeding into my nail art. So I had to paint some shark nail art for Shark Week (July 22-29 in 2018). I was looking around without much Read More
This was a fun combination of #ClaireStelle8Challenge’s Chevron, #NailChallengeCollaborative’s Geometric, and #WhenColoursCollide’s coral/mint/white prompts. I even got to knock out several items in my collection that I hadn’t used yet. That’s always a bonus. I kinda wish I had more to say, but this all ended up coming together very Read More
