Year of the Dragon

If you’ve seen my other Chinese New Year nail art designs, you’ll know that I like to bring out my longer falsies for this particular holiday. (And for some reason I favor shorter falsies for the end of December one…huh…) This year I kept my classically colored red/black/gold set very Read More

I actually posted this mani last year and saw, too late, a gingerbread mani by Megan (@two.peas.and.polish). It had an element in it that I wanted to steal so bad. I even mentioned it at the end of the 1.0 gingerbread blog post. I’ve embedded her Insta post below the Read More

A pink boozy ho ho hammered nail art with wacky-acting Santas who may have had a little too much eggnog while getting ready for Christmas.

Two years ago I purchased a set of pink jelly gel polish from Born Pretty thinking that I loved jelly polishes and pinks are so pretty so for sure I’d use them. This is…the first time. Yeah, it’s been a rough two years for spending time on this hobby so Read More

Today’s look is veeery simple. Although if you haven’t worked with stickers before, it can be a little difficult to get it off you and onto the surface you’re trying to apply it to without destroying it. Confessing for a friend. *cough* Anyway, I bought these cool rainbow holiday stickers Read More

Today’s look is so simple that I felt a little lost when I was done so quickly. And yet…it totally didn’t go as planned. I found these cute Christmas nail art stickers in 2021, and I was determined to use them this year. There’s more on the sheet than just Read More

A book/tv/movie inspired Anne of Green Gables mani with stamping decals of the book cover and Anne with gold decorative nail stickers.

March 2022’s ManixMe box was all about classic literature and reading. They did a bunch of little sets for each book they decided to feature. I decided to base my nail art on Anne of Green Gables. I do remember enjoying reading the series in elementary school, though it was Read More

Mexico-related nail stickers (hot peppers, sombreros, maracas, and a cactus) with the word "fiesta" decorating a bright mustard crelly with iridescent flakes to celebrate Cinco de Mayo.

Happy Cinco de Mayo

While the original holiday was celebrated over a military victory in Mexico, it has come to be associated with celebrating Mexican-American culture in the states for over a hundred years. I doubt there will be many parties or festivals due to the pandemic, so we’ll probably all just focus on Read More

Last month’s challenges included doing nail art, which apparently set off a bug in me. Namely, I had a feeling that my Sinful Colors’ fluid art polishes were not longer able to create cells and I decided to test a few of them. Sadly, I’m pretty sure they have died Read More

A pond mani with glow in the dark snowflake stickers and a white panoramic cityscape using a dark blue jelly polish.

It hasn’t taken me long to make my second glow in the dark pond look. I mean, time was running out since the glow in the dark stickers I bought were snowflakes and we’re heavy into spring nail art season. (I bought some Christmas ones too. They will have to Read More
