Unlike Cinco de Mayo, the Day of the Dead is a holiday that people from Mexico actually celebrate. And it’s not only five million times more fun than Memorial Day, it feels more meaningful too. The most we ever did was go to the graveyard and clean the family tombstones. Read More
Some days I truly miss having long, natural nails. But then I remember how it was only one hand that ever got very long (because I’ve got things like yardwork to do) and how much I hated that lack of symmetry. And scratching myself and my loved ones. And having Read More
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
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
Happy Valentine’s Day! While I much prefer the sales on China’s Singles Day, the nail art for this holiday is much prettier.

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
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
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
