Fall nail art of negative space oak leaves in a dusty blue over a flakie yellow (warm) to pink to orange (cold) thermal polish and oak trees.

Changing Canopy

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

A practicing witch/wizard nail art with decals of potions, wands, crystal balls, etc. on a thermal brown to lilac flakie filled polish.

Wizard School

I know a lot of us have…additional feelings about anything smacking of Harry Potter since Rowlings can’t keep her mouth shut about what a transphobe she is. So this was a hard collab for many and some of the people that would have joined in didn’t. And some of us Read More

A cozy, matte scarf-wrapped fox nail art with more stamping decals of winter gear, roses, and snowflakes on a copper magnetic base.

Cozy in Winter

Am I going to jinx things if I say that I’m still trying to use every image on the Nicole Diary Fashion Trends ND-002 stamping plate? Because I am and today’s look puts me at the halfway mark for the larger images. I even used my favorite image: the fox! Read More

A sandy, beachy nail art with a sign pointing towards the beach, flip flops, and a bag of beach-going essentials plus beach-y words.

Beach, Please!

July 21, 2022 Lisa 0

Summer is the season for beach-y nail art and that generally means I go tropical. Which is funny because the beaches I’ve visited lately are rather cold and dramatic instead of warm and sunny. And instead of walking around in flip flops and laying on a towel with a thick Read More

A kawaii Halloween / devil nail art with a neon rainbow gradient background stamp and plump demon stamping decal with green eyes.

The Devil is Neon

July 1, 2022 Lisa 2

It’s been a while since I had true neon polishes to stamp with since my Mundo de Unas bottles got streaky. So I purchased a neon set from Maniology in May. And, ugh, the timing is not great because this is a very heavy Maniology post shortly after they gave Read More

A purple shimmery mermaid nail art that says "In a sea of fish, be a mermaid" with mermaid, mermaid tail, and fish stamping images.

Ode to Mermaid

MerMay seems to be more of a traditional/digital artist thing because I haven’t really seen any of the nail challenges acknowledge it for a few years. Luckily the Saucy Mani Squad was looking for prompt suggestions for May and June and I was watching the group chat at the right Read More

A fiery brick rose crelly nail art with red zodiac stamping images of stylized goat and girl with horn and the symbol for Aries.

Zodiac Collection: Aries

March 28, 2022 Lisa 0

I’m back with the third installment from the Zodiac Collection. We are in the time of Aries, a firey member of the zodiac that is also associated with goats and the color red. I went with a flame motif and used Maniology’s ManixMe zodiac stamping plates to guide this look Read More

Ladybug nail art with magenta and purple metallic stamping polishes in magically wild patterns.

Secret Ladybug Forest

February 17, 2022 Lisa 0

I love it when a mani looks equally good in a matte and glossy finish because it makes me feel like the number of photos I post are justified. 😂 Today’s ladybug nail art combines even more things I love by using a non-traditional ladybug color scheme (magenta and purple Read More

A witchy Valentine's Day nail art w/stamping decals of a cute witch brewing up a love potion with lots of hearts on a lilac flakie polish.

Hocus Pocus

January 25, 2022 Lisa 0

Once upon a time I painted a love potion-esque nail art. It was pre-blog and there was pink. I can even wave the stamping plate I used uselessly in the air. You can’t see it because this isn’t a video, but all the parts are there. Anyway, I sadly cannot Read More

Three sweet nail art looks: yellow and orange heart balloons, green clover candies, and sweet blue and pink lollipops.

Three Sweet Manis

March 8, 2021 Lisa 1

I am interested in way too many challenges this month and yet there are a lot of real life things I need to get done. So…things might get messy(er) this month. I may be hitting it hard and then abruptly ghost. We’ll just have to see. One compromise I’m making Read More
