Holly Dead

Yeah, I really didn’t get in enough Halloween nail art this year. So I’m giving extra love to my stamping plates that mix it with Christmas. It always feels like a bonus to give a nod to Nightmare Before Christmas, no matter how abstract. The main feature of today’s look Read More

Yule Moon nail art with a sparkly blue sky, full moon and peaceful mansion surrounded by evergreen trees and Christmas tree in the window.

Today’s look starts with some false nails that I painted years ago and never finished. Just take out the moon and the thumb nail and that’s what was sitting in my drawer for two years until I thought I’d use it for some northern lights prompt on Instagram. I added Read More

A Halloween cat nail art with sweet black kitties climbing into things on a purple jelly polish filled with black and holographic glitter.

I think there was a cat butt collab on Instagram and if so I definitely missed it, but I’m still happy to bring you a cat butt mani. Featuring the butts of black cats because today is National Black Cat Day. My personal black cat™ will be getting some extra Read More

Mythical nail art with teal origami stamping decals of dragons, unicorns, and Pegasus on top of a jelly coral base and pond geometric pattern.

In a Coral Fantasy

Long, long ago I bought Moyou London’s Origami Collection-05 stamping plate. It has lots of origami figures on it (as opposed to the patterns that make the bulk of the collection). I used it in three different manis, fully intending to paint three more manis and fully use the entire Read More

A cedar green owl nail art with an iridescent glitter jelly sandwich and owl, feathers, lock, and key reverse stamping decals.

Owl Glower

Today we have an older look that I meant to share years ago. I always loved this image of an owl perched on a key with a heart lock and roses so I made it the center point of this mani. Then I just took those elements and found ways Read More

Back to school nail art with chalkboard stamping images about education topics (esp science) on a charcoal rainbow flakie background.

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

A glow in the dark nail art of a Caribbean half octopus half shark monster, lusca, attacking against a black/red duochrome teal sea.

Lurking Lusca

On this blog we always try to celebrate Shark Week with some nail art and I also loooove the octopus. So when I purchased a stamping plate that had a strange creature with both octopus tentacles and a shark’s head, I knew I had to use it. The lusca is Read More

Quartz crystal nail art in soft corals and whites with a reverse stamping images of quartz crystals with purple spring flowers.

Quartz

I meant to get this written up sooner, but I made the mistake of wandering outside to weed for a bit. The new yard is much bigger than the old and the abundance of rain has kept certain plants growing all winter. In other words, I was clawing things out Read More

A polka dot pig nail art with party pig reverse stamping decals and polka dots tucked between layers of a bright green jelly polish.

Party Pigs

February 23, 2022 Lisa 0

It’s time for a pig party where the pigs dance around in a vortex of polka dots while wearing crowns and eating cupcakes! Okay, it sounds a little strange to describe it in that amount of detail, but party pig nail art makes sense and has some alliteration, which I Read More

Baby blue Pisces nail art with two large purple and silver fish stamping decals marked with the Pisces sign and wave french tip stampings.

Zodiac Collection: Pisces

Late post today because I adult-ed and did some yardwork. I’m in the process of ripping out some of the invasive (but lovely) ivy growing in my yard. It’s super fun because I’m in terrible shape right now. 😆Today is the start of the Pisces astrological sign and so the Read More
