Iced Coffee - Hermit Werds - coral and white gold nail art with iced coffee stamping

Iced Coffee

I both love how this design came together and feel oddly meh about it at the same time. The amusing reason is that #26GreatNailArtIdeas’ prompt for this week is Least Favorite Color. This is extremely difficult for me because my favorite color is rainbow. I’ve been saying it’s rainbow for Read More

On Violet Waters - Hermit Werds - nail art of origami water birds on a white geometric background with a soft pink to white gradient

On Violet Waters

July 8, 2018 Lisa 0

Really, I almost titled this “On Violent Waters” to see if people would notice the ‘n’ and put a shark on my thumb. Look out, birds! Anyway, this was for #WhenColoursCollide’s pink/purple/white theme and ended up being for #NailArtChallengeCollaborative’s Geometric theme as well. That worked out well. Really I just Read More

Unicorn of Winter

Last season I painted a Unicorn of Fall mani with a plump little unicorn full of the harvests of the season. Today I have for you a Unicorn of Winter full of snow, ice, and clear, crisp air. I started with a cool silver base, added some goldeen snowflakes, and Read More

Decorative Arrows

I actually posted this to the #WhenColoursCollide FB group fairly early on during the prompt period, but I have been late about it ever since. The colors were Mint, Grey, and Yellow, so not obviously Christmas-y, but a few ladies made it work, especially @polishedcalla (sadly she hasn’t posted the Read More

I certainly meant to have this come out yesterday (esp since I’ve already posted it to Instagram), but I guess that wasn’t in the cards. So this is my first post of the day and there will be another around noon MT. I live in America so elephants have definitely Read More

Pink and Silver - Hermit Werds - #whencolourscollide

Pink and Silver

June 25, 2017 Lisa 2

The theme for this When Colours Collide was Pink and Silver (only). I thought it was a good excuse to do something simple and fun with a stamping plate I hadn’t had a chance to use yet. I pulled out the plate, sketched a layout quickly and threw it all Read More

Return to the Yellow Sea - Hermit Werds - 26 Great Nail Art Ideas (Yellow and 1 Bold Color)

Return to the Yellow Sea

May 14, 2017 Lisa 2

I’ve previously completed oceanic nail art with a yellow theme and I ended up doing it again this time. 26 Great Nail Art‘s challenge for this week is yellow and one bold color. This is my second attempt at it because the first one ended up looking all green with Read More

Red, Black, and White - Hermit Werds - When Colours Collide

Red, Black, and White

April 30, 2017 Lisa 2

So I decided to join the When Colours Collide Facebook group. The theme was red, black and white and I just wasn’t that into it right now. Kind of odd for me since it’s an old color combo favorite, but I guess I branched off into other things at some Read More

Black and White - 31 Day Challenge Nail Art - Hermit Werds

B&W

October 5, 2016 Lisa 0

I was not happy with this, but at the pace I have to set to finish before the inlinkz close, I decided I wasn’t going to do a do-over. I used masking tape instead nail vinyls or nail art striping tape and I cut the strips too thick. Also, the Read More

Zagging Summer - Hermit Werds

Zagging Summer

August 18, 2016 Lisa 0

My new Ejibaus plate arrived so I really wanted to play with it. I grabbed colors that looked pretty summer-y and started splashing them around. As fun and glittery as it was, this just wasn’t a favorite. None of the patterns really felt like they meshed. I feel like I Read More
