I’m pretty happy with how many fall looks vs Halloween that I’ve managed to paint this year. I love fall and I’m always missing out on painting more looks for it because I get focused and then burnt out on Halloween. So November tends to be a light nail art-ing Read More

Today’s squirrely look is a fall rainbow starting with spring green and running all the way to plumy violet. Living in a different state now, I actually see squirrels fairly often as they barrel through my yard. They have managed to plant many walnut trees according to my weeding. I Read More

I am here again today to gloat to you about how I had this nail art planned out several years ago and I got to it! I know it’s a song I’ve been singing a lot lately, but it feels so good! I’m actually trying to put together a new Read More

I fell in love with nail art with tiny birds last winter and haven’t had nearly enough opportunities to explore the subject. So I inevitably chose birds for my fall look for #NailsWithIgFriends hosted by the lovely Neha (@nehabothra). These are more stylized so they’re not quite as dear to Read More

The collage for #NailAddictsCollab posted yesterday and I was completely unprepared! I need to get caught up on (mostly) writing my blog posts when I finish everything else. This was a fun one and, for once, easy. The prompt was Untried, Unused, Unloved and you were supposed to get in Read More

#GlamNailsChallenge and #FireDazedChallenge’s last prompt of the month is First Frost. Three designs immediately came to mind: blue/white/silver snowflake mani (a classic design that I painted on my mom’s nails last year), a freehand fall landscape with a teeny bit of snow, and a more abstract design with fall and Read More
