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
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
Today’s look just didn’t want to come together in my head. The prompt was Dead the Halls and I had plenty of ideas that I could paint for it, but nothing really stood out to me. My sticking point was that I had this monster Christmas wreath image I wanted Read More
I already had a tiny backlog of nail art to post and instead of posting those, I finished another collab mani that I wanted to post today. And it’s not for Thanksgiving because that’s barely a holiday to me outside of yummy food and seeing family. No, it’s Halloween. Because Read More

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
Today’s look is all about sweet, beautiful sunflowers. Until it’s not. Hee hee! I truly love both sides of this nail art for different reasons, but holy cow it was a lot of layers. One layer for the spiders. One layer for the spider webs. Three layers of the magenta Read More
