Key lime nail art


Here's a little slice of summer for ya, just hold on for a few more months and it will be back for real!



It's so juicy looking! I made a base gradient using Serum No. 5 Kiwi Glow Now? and Day Glow, and then just simply painted slices on top of it with white acrylic paint.

And well.... what would a Serum No. 5 mani be without a gorgeous glow?! I freaking LOVE this stuff!

Fuzzy animal print nail art


Aaaaahahaha this has me giggling!! And it's totally hand washing safe ;-)

I used acrylic paint to lay down the basic design of the prints in the right colors. Then I went over the prints with a gel top coat, sprinkled flocking powder on top and cured it under a UV light. then all that's left is removing the excess and voila!

It feels a bit weird at first, bristly, but you get used to it fast and it holds up nicely during daily wear :) Plus I giggle every time I look at my hands!

Grab bags up for grabs



Did you know about my blog sale yet? I'm moving out of my parents' house and into my own apartment! I found a little studio apartment that is just big enough for one person, but since I'm tiny and only about 3/4 the size of a regular person, it's perfect XD So to make room and raise funds, I'm selling mystery grab bags!

When I say grab bags, I mean grab BAGS ;-) Each mystery grab bag includes 12 full sized beauties, I made sure there are a LOT of indies in there, and no drugstore brands.

Some of the brands include ILNP, Picture Polish, Cupcake Polish, Illyrian Polish, KB Shimmer, Cadillaquer, Tonic, A England, just to name a few. Each package also has a variety of other nail goodies. The possibilities include liquid latex, top and base coats, nail vinyls, multichrome powders, nail charms, glitters, brushes etc! Price already includes shipping to anywhere in the world, so wherever you are, hope you enjoy!

I took goooooood care of these polishes, I mean really excellent care. All of the bottle necks have been cleaned and the brushes checked, they are all in great condition and from a non-smoke home.

There's a Storenvy fee added at checkout, I have no control over this but it will be refunded to you after purchase. I don't like sneaky extra costs and you probably don't either ;-)

I'm hoping to show you my new place with lots of pics soon, so stay tuned. Thanks for reading and happy shopping!

Glow roses nail art


We haven't had a glow design in a while! There's a small hidden aspect about this one, because...

...even though it's white in the light, the stems & leaves glow green thanks to Serum No. 5 Budding Lights while the roses light up purple with Madam Glam After Dark.

I love how they almost seem like 2 different designs!

I have a couple of mystery grab bags left in my blog sale, to help me become an actual grownup with an apartment of my own :) Definitely check it out!

Lanterns in the night nail art


Follow the path of lights to get to where you're going! Just... don't fall in the water :-p

The mesmerizing night sky is Tonic Polish Huckleberry Sparkle that I got from Color4Nails, look at the stars shining!!! I painted everything with acrylic paint and a tiny brush.

It's a little bit different from my usual landscapes, but I like it. It's mysterious and a little bit magical :)

There's still a few surprise packages left in my blog sale right here!

Pool table nail art


Whaddaya do when it gets darn cold? You stay indoors and play pool is what you do! Teeny tiny pool as the case may be :-p

I used some green flocking powder for the 'table', it's so fluffy! I had these small plastic beads that worked amazingly well for the pool balls, I just had to paint them here and there. Aaaaand the cue is made from a wooden cocktail pick that I painted. Seems easy enough and yet the balls kept escaping! XD

Big changes for 2018!


Big things for me in 2018: I'm moving out of my parents' house and into my first real apartment! Yes I know, it's about time at 28. It was just so comfy at home, and me and my parents get along great. I have a tiny studio apartment and it's taken me a whole lot of effort but it's starting to look great! Tiny means cozy in my book, although it also means setting priorities and trying to fit everything I own into the little storage space I have available.

So, to cut to the chase... I have SO much polish and not all of it can move with me. I'm parting with a big chunk of my collection and sharing it with you in the form of a blog sale! It's been a while since I've had one of these so let me refresh your memory:

I LOVE surprise packages and it has gone over great in the past so that's what we'll be doing! I have a couple of mystery grab bags up in my shop that contain 12 polishes, most of which are indies, and a whole bunch of extra nail art/nail care/other goodies. The items are in great condition, most have never been used while some have been used once, one 1 hand. Price already includes shipping in a sturdy box with plenty of padding inside, to anywhere in the world!

I also have smaller grab bags, and a gel polish variety, so be sure to check out the listings and I hope there's something for everyone!

Circuit board nail art


Why did the capacitor kiss the diode? He just couldn't resistor XD

The base is Masura Sky Gardens that I reviewed a while ago. I used Madam Glam Perfect Black to paint the circuit board design, all of it, and then added some Green Menace & Silver Star chrome powders from Mitty for different parts of the design.

Be careful not to touch! This design is eeeeeelectric! High voltage!
