Only one stamping plate was used to create the entire manicure!
[press sample] Give me three pendant banner strings and I will abuse the heck out of them. This entire design was created from one full nail image on Beauty BigBang’s XL-020 stamping plate, which I am reviewing today. Quality and Test Samples Yesterday’s review was really, really long. So today Read More
[Press Sample] A new package from Beauty BigBang arrived this week and I’ve been champing at the bit to start using the new toys. Sadly, I was delayed by a couple bad days and my first planned out design not working. *sigh* It happens. But all that meant I could Read More
I tried a new Instagram challenge this time: @ColoursWithinWomen. When this group goes with a color theme, they want to see three nails of only that color and an accent nail. (No rules for thumbs though. Woo!) I have a lot of neglected brown polishes that for some reason I’m Read More
[press sample] Summer is not over yet (even though people are already starting to talk about fall). I’m happy to hang onto summer a little bit longer with my final review of the stamping plates that Beauty BigBang kindly sent to me: BeautyBigBang XL-002. It’s a little bit tropical, a Read More

Just a quick, simple nail art today. Sometimes I complicate things too much and end up staring off into the distance because it’s too much work and I don’t wanna get started. Plus the first version of my other nail art didn’t turn out the way I wanted so I Read More
When I was younger what I called “turquoise” was a much more vivid and blue-leaning color than the shade that most people think of when they hear the word. Instead, I think people think of the actual gemstone which tends to be lighter and much more green-leaning and so I’ve Read More
The concept was simple: a kite for #GlamNailsChallenge and a sunset (with “Jamaican Out”) for #beautometrynailchallenge. Somehow I thought I’d be able to finish this nail art more quickly, but I didn’t want to just throw a gradient on my nails. So I found myself using sharpie ink with a Read More
