A pink magnetic Christmas pun nail art with cute mistle-toads instead of just mistletoe and a couple kissing beneath the toad anyway.

Under the Mistle Toad

December 19, 2023 Lisa 0

Today’s second look is a marriage between two Instagram prompts and my ongoing interest in using all the puns on Moyou London’s Noel Collection-10 stamping plate. Picking my pun was easy. One of the prompts was mistletoe which perfectly matched the Mistle Toad. The next prompt was ornament. The toad Read More

A gingerbread nail art with a Christmas tree and gingerbread people, house, and reindeer stickers and frosted edges with rhinestone gumdrops.

Sweet Gingerbread 1.1

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

Universal Studio's Wolf Man nail art w/glow in the dark yellow nails, "wolf", full moon, & silhouetted Wolf Man plus crackle polish accents.

Wolf Man

October 25, 2023 Lisa 0

I’m scared to go back and try to watch the old Universal Studios movies since so many old movies just make me mad culturally speaking. But my brain apparently had no problem throwing my money at Moyou London so I could get my hands on every single plate from their Read More

A glow in the dark pink Alice in Wonderland nail art of Alice falling down the rabbit hole, chasing the White Rabbit, and changing size.

Down the Rabbit Hole

We wish Alice luck as she’s off on her adventure in Wonderland. Meanwhile today’s mani is in celebration of Mad Hatter Day; although ironically it doesn’t have a single image of the hatter himself. It’s a little weird that he gets a day when Alice doesn’t, but apparently a group Read More

A vintage Halloween poster nail art design with rockabilly skeletons and stylized haunted houses in orange, black, grey-blue, and cream.

Vintage Halloween Poster

Today’s burnt orange color is more orange and, oh, I’ve waited a few years to get to use this gorgeous color. Seriously, the cruelest part of having a large polish collection (aside from the cost 😭) is finding time to use them all! It made a perfect pairing with my 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

Scarecrow nail art with a bright blue & green background of flapping crows with cute black and white scarecrows stamped on top.

Scarecrow vs Crow

September 10, 2023 Lisa 1

The leaves are already turning in my trees so fall is here for me at least and the nail prompts on Instagram are definitely fall-flavored. Scarecrows can be out when a crop first starts, but it’s when we’re ready to harvest that they become relevant: scaring the birds away from Read More

Back to school nail art of a girl reading a book on a glittery purple jelly sandwich background and more book stamping images.

It’s the time of year when US kids are heading back to school. The kids back in my old state are already in class while the kids where I live now only have a few weeks of summer left. So I thought I should paint some back to school nail Read More

A toasty nail design that combines stamping decals of jamming out to rock music and jam on toast for January.

January Jams

January 7, 2023 Lisa 0

I do love alliteration and so does the host of the collab I painted this nail art for. And yet I’m such a literal person that I had to have both jam and a musician jamming in my design since they were both fair interpretations of the prompt. *sigh* I Read More
