Today’s look is all about a cute teddy bear loving its child and protecting her at night from all the monsters. Creative Shop always has such amazing quality etched images on their plates. They go all the way from adorable to very naughty and buying from them is supporting a Read More
I think I’m sorting out the frustrations keeping me from nail art-ing. It’s a combination of three things: First, having too many designs in a row that were struggle and the results were not true love. Output garbage = feel like garbage, I guess. Second, Google Chrome sucking and making Read More
It amuses me that I have a very blue (with a little purple) nail art to share right after a lot of Democratic voting victories here in America. I didn’t plan it that way though. This cute little hedgehog mani was painted clear back in 2021 and I just never Read More
Unlike Cinco de Mayo, the Day of the Dead is a holiday that people from Mexico actually celebrate. And it’s not only five million times more fun than Memorial Day, it feels more meaningful too. The most we ever did was go to the graveyard and clean the family tombstones. Read More
Some days I truly miss having long, natural nails. But then I remember how it was only one hand that ever got very long (because I’ve got things like yardwork to do) and how much I hated that lack of symmetry. And scratching myself and my loved ones. And having Read More

And in fact, I have been wondering why we on the side of choice continue to allow so-called “pro-lifers” to call themselves such. We know it’s Read More
Happy Valentine’s Day! While I much prefer the sales on China’s Singles Day, the nail art for this holiday is much prettier. Today I decided to highlight other kinds of love by featuring kittens and string/yarn instead. Possibly it’s also because beyond adding hearts to things, I rarely highlight romantic Read More
I’ve been in a bit of a funk for the past few days, but I’ve finally gotten myself together enough to write this (brief) post. And, hey, it’s also been a while since I painted something with watercolor. And it’s been even longer–almost two years–since I painted my nails with Read More
