Butterfly nail art in bright blue with swirls of magnetic particles and star fields with butterflies stamped on top. Flipside butterflies.

Celestial Butterflies

When I first got started in nail art, galaxy manis used to only mean some kind of sponged gradient with stars added on top, but these days there’s such a wide range of techniques to play with. Instead of a gradient, why not use a magnetic polish? Especially a gel Read More

Love bird nail art with tons of newsprint, hearts, "love" and two sweet blue birds in flight on a grey/blue or holographic blue background.

Love Birds

February 11, 2024 Lisa 2

I really wasn’t sure if I would ever get around to using the Maximalist ManixMe plates that were in last year’s February box. They kinda fell under things that are useful, but aren’t particularly my style and so it’s a dice throw if I will think to use them. Luckily, Read More

Christmas nail art of Santa's sleigh with dinosaurs (t-rex, brontosaurus, triceratops, and pterodactyl) flying across a glow in the dark sky.

Dino-maus

December 12, 2023 Lisa 0

Every month. Every single one. I have had a dinosaur nail art design I wanted to paint and didn’t get around to. Sometimes it was a carryover from the month before that I thought would still work, but the desire was there. Guess how many I’ve managed to paint and Read More

A celestial animal nail design with decals of a silver-outlined celestial deer, rabbit, and owl on a blue jelly sky with starry glitter.

Autumn Nights

September 28, 2023 Lisa 4

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

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

Winter Birds

January 25, 2023 Lisa 1

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

A electric neon nail art for the New Year in 2023 with firecracker number nail stamping and fireworks. Happy New Year!

Happy 2023!

December 31, 2022 Lisa 2

One last nail art to post before the new year begins and of course that means it’s going to be New Years nail art. And it’s on my natural nails which have been fairly absent except for a few older nail arts I posted the past few months. By necessity Read More

Shark nail art with cute sharks who have taken bites out of hearts as stamping decals on a glitzy blue base polish.

Shark Love

August 5, 2022 Lisa 0

I am definitely the part of the population that loves Shark Week because I love sharks. Who wouldn’t love an animal that bites things because one of its major environmental inputs is its mouth. When can I get that excuse? But Shark Week is in July and I totally missed Read More

Golden pineapple nail art on blue stiletto falsies with a beautiful art deco lace pattern stamped in the background and half moons.

Royal Pineapple

July 7, 2022 Lisa 1

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

An aquarius/zodiac themed nail art with lots of blue chevrons and nail stamping images of Aquarius symbols.

Zodiac Collection: Aquarius

January 21, 2022 Lisa 0

It’s finally happened: I’m going to (try) to paint a full zodiac collection this year. And I’m not alone because @nailsoflizmo started a new monthly challenge for it. Here’s hoping for enough peace and quiet that I can keep up with All The Things this year. I definitely better not Read More

A fluid art nail art decorated with holographic gold butterfly stickers in blue, blurple, lavender, and white.

Fluid Art Fluttebys

April 7, 2021 Lisa 2

Last month’s challenges included doing nail art, which apparently set off a bug in me. Namely, I had a feeling that my Sinful Colors’ fluid art polishes were not longer able to create cells and I decided to test a few of them. Sadly, I’m pretty sure they have died Read More
