Water Decal Foxes

September 23, 2023 Lisa 0

It’s funny how we associate different things with different seasons even though they often exist all year round. Like…pumpkins being a fall thing makes sense because that’s when they are ready to be inserted into your face or plopped on your front stoop (this year I’m seeing a lot of Read More

Autumnal nail art on a yellow/orange/brown thermal polish with skull, candle, and autumn leaf water decals on top.

Autumn Skulls

September 20, 2023 Lisa 0

I meant to post a different nail art with autumn leaves today, but I I realized it fit a different prompt better and I luckily had this old design waiting in the wings. I painted this fall look clear back in 2020 on my cindy hand using the same base Read More

Valentine's nail art in white, red, and pink with water decals of cute white kittens and their love for balls of yarn.

A Yarn Love Story

February 14, 2022 Lisa 0

Happy Valentine’s Day! While I much prefer the sales on China’s Singles Day, the nail art for this holiday is much prettier. Today I decided to highlight other kinds of love by featuring kittens and string/yarn instead. Possibly it’s also because beyond adding hearts to things, I rarely highlight romantic Read More

Teal/blue-green nail polishes with soft watercolor-like water decals of yummy ice cream dishes (sundae and milkshake) on top.

Teal and Ice Cream

July 17, 2021 Lisa 1

Today’s look really shouldn’t have been so hard to get right and I’m not entirely happy with it, but it’s time to post it and move on. I had the nail challenge prompt ice cream and a few water decal sheets that fit. I figured it was time to use Read More

A super mustard-y nail art with a stamped plaid background pattern and cute grey cat water decals sleeping, playing, and talking to you.

Modes of Cat

It has been a week-ish. Mostly because life got busy. I’m very sad to miss a few of the monthly prompts for @glamnailschallenge and just kept crossing off challenges that I wanted to paint for one after another all last week. So thwarted. Well, that’s life. Today I have a Read More

A soft tan and caramel wood texture nail art with bright water decal bugs on top.

Bugs in the Woods

March 26, 2021 Lisa 2

Last year when my husband and I went camping, the wildlife that we saw the most were the flies. It certainly helped to keep us eating our food quick so most of them would go away again. Anyway, when the xyloid (relating to, consisting of, or resembling wood) prompt came Read More

A cupcake nail art with a cupcake water decal accent nail and creamsicle-like water spotted nails in white, orange, and coral.

Creamy Cupcake + Water Spotting Tutorial

March 21, 2021 Lisa 1

Today’s nail art was brought to you by cupcakes, the water spotted technique, and water decals. Today’s tutorial brought to you by my desire to figure out why I wasn’t getting larger spots. It’s funny how things come together. I could have done advanced/reverse stamping cupcakes as I have tons Read More

Bird nail art with red bird, robin, and bluebird water decals placed on a white and blue thermal polish with shimmering ferns stamped on top.

International Bird Day

January 5, 2021 Lisa 3

It’s International Bird Day today, so of course it’s time for some bird nail art! Now I don’t have a bird feeder because I don’t want additional bird poop around my house, but I do love little song birds. Particularly in art. They’re just cute little pops of nature and Read More

Baby boomer french tip nails with a Wonder Woman water decal.

Wonder Woman

March 10, 2020 Lisa 2

I went even simpler with my simple nail art today with a single Wonder Woman water decal and one little row of stars to follow my french tip. Why? Because I’m still steeped in my delusion that I can also finish #liganailistachallenge’s March prompt list. Only two to go, right? Read More

The Brilliant Trees - Hermit Werds - lovely holographic green and red background with water decal trees on top

The Brilliant Trees

January 19, 2018 Lisa 0

The collage for #NailAddictsCollab posted yesterday and I was completely unprepared! I need to get caught up on (mostly) writing my blog posts when I finish everything else. This was a fun one and, for once, easy. The prompt was Untried, Unused, Unloved and you were supposed to get in Read More
