(Halloween) Cinco de Mayo

April 27, 2022 Lisa 0

The @halloweenForeverCollab strikes again with an awesome prompt to bring Halloween to every month. and this time we painted for Cinco de Mayo. It was a bit of a challenge to find something in my collection that worked and wasn’t straight sugar skulls, but I think this works. And I’m Read More

Emo Bunnies

In the early 2000s shirts and stickers with cute animals saying or doing anti-social things got really popular. I remember thinking they were pretty fun, even though I was too cheap to buy my own. They’re no longer mainstream, but, thanks to the internet, you can still own a “not Read More

Possibly today’s nail art look will make up for missing Talk Like a Pirate Day last year. It’s always a little frustrating when I miss a holiday that I want to cover, but selling my home so we could move took precedence. This year, though, you should be able to Read More

I’ve really been enjoying the Instagram prompts from @inkednailzartchallenge. They’re just that little bit edgy and alt-culture for me. I hit a few prompts in March and I’m going to get them all this month if I can. They started off April with a bang by coming up with an Read More

Spring Tulips

April 6, 2022 Lisa 0

There was a tulip prompt last month that I didn’t have time to paint even though I knew what I wanted to do. Naturally I was able to get to it this month since April tends to have lots of flower and rain prompts. You’ll have to wait on the Read More

I typically don’t paint back to school nail art or anything of the sort because I’m out of school and I’m not even remotely in charge of my stepchildrens’ schooling. Plus by August my old office was so hot. It was really hard to get much nail art done. So Read More

Snakes Go Hiss

March 30, 2022 Lisa 0

To my surprise, I really haven’t painted that much snake nail art for the blog. Then I realized I had two snake-y Witches of S designs drawn out and they hadn’t been painted yet. In my head, though, I’ve added them to my count and so I’ve done sooo many. Read More

Thailand Meditations

My husband spent two years in Thailand when he was much younger and still speaks a little Thai. So needless to say we both would love to visit Thailand. Mind you I am not fond of the high humidity high heat combination so we’re definitely not staying, but I want Read More

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

Bad Luck

March 23, 2022 Lisa 0

No Patty Day manis for me this year, but today I have a bad luck nail art that really ended up being bad luck for me! Or perhaps I should say I had bad luck with it because I slammed the door on my nail art-ing hand’s middle finger. So, Read More
