I know I just said the posts might get scarce this month, but I already had this basically done except for writing the blog post itself. And I actually have two more posts after that before I have to put painting effort forth or I have nothing to blog about. Read More
I didn’t have a bat prompt for this Halloween, so of course I had to find a way to sneak them in because I love bats. I had this design sketched up last year of little bats delivering pumpkins so when the jack-o-lantern prompt came up, I knew what I Read More
Woof! I had a few days there where I just couldn’t get myself to paint and then I got cold-sick for the first time in many years. Blech! But I’m mostly better and back with a cute candy corn nail design because candy corns dressed up to go trick or Read More
It’s funny how we associate different things with different seasons even though they often exist all year round. Like…pumpkins being a fall thing makes sense because that’s when they are ready to be inserted into your face or plopped on your front stoop (this year I’m seeing a lot of Read More
Did you think I was done playing around with bright backgrounds and black and white subjects just because I painted Scarecrow vs Crow? You would be wrong, although possibly today’s look has satiated me for a while. We’re starting with a bright fuchsia/magenta nail polish with orange glitter and adding Read More

Here’s something that should have been posted clear back at the beginning of November (but at least I only have one last catch-up post left!). Today’s look features an orange and purple thermal polish that I wasn’t sure I would love until I tried it and now we’re married. LOL Read More
My brain tends to be a very literal creature. If you give it a prompt for tiger, there will be an actual tiger. Maaaaybe I will do a tiger print. Or maybe I will think of a tiger lily, but reject it because that was not the prompt giver’s original Read More
Today’s look is so simple that I felt a little lost when I was done so quickly. And yet…it totally didn’t go as planned. I found these cute Christmas nail art stickers in 2021, and I was determined to use them this year. There’s more on the sheet than just Read More
Black Friday has changed a lot over the years, but generally speaking I think it’s gotten less deadly but ultimately not more relaxed. The stress of it has just stretched out across the whole month. A kind of long wander through sales with a few extra good prices tucked in Read More
