Holidays At Hogwarts: Day 1

Holidays At Hogwarts: Day 1

Hello & Welcome to December's first blog post! I am going to try undertaking some daily blogging this time, and share some magical designs!

The Digit-al Dozen Presents: Look Up - Day 3

The Digit-al Dozen Presents: Look Up - Day 3

Another mani in the Digit-al Dozen week, with the theme of "Look Up" - a scenic sunrise.

The Digit-al Dozen Presents: Look Up - Day 2

The Digit-al Dozen Presents: Look Up - Day 2

It's technically Wednesday, but I was slow to start the Digit-al Dozen week so I'm running a day behind. I've got my second look today - is it an obvious one?

The Digit-al Dozen Presents: TV Shows - Day 4

The Digit-al Dozen Presents: TV Shows - Grimm

Day 4 is here! I feel like I saved up two of my favorite designs for this Digit-al Dozen week for the end, so I hope you enjoy them!

The Digit-al Dozen Presents: TV Shows - Day 2

The Digit-al Dozen Presents: TV Shows - Game of Thrones

I started my posts a day behind for The Digit-al Dozen week, so I'm double posting today and hope to stay on track after this. I saw a Game of Thrones mani in the link up for Day 2 and decided to use mine today as well!

The Digit-al Dozen Presents: TV Shows - Day 1

The Digit-al Dozen Presents: TV Shows - Doctor Who

Who's excited for The Digit-al Dozen to return once more?? Our theme for October is "TV Shows" and I'm eager to see what everyone comes up with this week. I struggled initially to come up with 5 and recruited the help of mu husband, but the more I thought about it, the more I realized I'd have to cut some out! Let's take a peek at today's look...I hope it's an obvious one!

Back to Hogwarts!

It's been a little while since I've just done nail art, and I had the perfect plates, prompt and inspiration! So let's take a peek at how this was put together!

The Digit-al Dozen Presents - In My Garden; Day 4

We're getting closer to wrapping up the week with The Digit-al Dozen and I've got an eye searing number today!

The Digit-al Dozen - Inspired by Each Other: Day 1

Welcome to another Digit-al Dozen week! The theme this month is called "Inspired by Each Other" and this has soooo many possibilities! The ladies participating are so talented, and I get to have a go at nail art inspired by them!

The Digit-al Dozen does Indie Love: Day 5

Ta-da! The very final Digit-al Dozen design from me, comes in at the 11th hour lol. Actually, it was supposed to have been done last week so I'm definitely late but wanted to see this idea come to life and not give up! Hope you enjoy it :)

The Digit-al Dozen Does Mythical Creatures: Day 5

The Digit-al Dozen Does Mythical Creatures - Koi

We've arrived at the finale for this week of mythical creatures, and I'm sharing my last one. Blogging day after day is taxing, since that's not my normal schedule, but I've enjoyed the manicures I made quite a lot. It was also awesome to see what everyone else brought to the table and take inspiration from them for the future, because nail art doesn't stop!

Swatch & Art: Anchor & Heart Lacquer - Andamooka

Hello and welcome to another post! I'm excited for this festive nail art, and the polish is pretty sweet too, so let's dive in!

Swatch & Art: Fair Maiden Polish - Room 13

Fair Maiden Polish - Room 13

Hello & Welcome! It's been a quieter week or two for me, lots of irl stuff happening that's been taking up polishing time. But I do have some things lined up this week, so let's see the first of them!

Art: Tonic Polish - Unicorn Pee Collection

Tonic Polish - Unicorn Pee Collection - the nail art portion!
If you haven't see the swatches already, then please take a look at my post here! In this post I will focus on the nail art I did with these polishes because I wanted to keep it separate from the main swatches. Hope you enjoy!

Stamping Saturday: Fall Sweater

Welcome back to another Stamping Saturday post! I've missed the last couple ones so I'm trying to catch up. I did an obligatory sweater print mani this time and wish I had one like this for myself, haha

Swatch & Art: Cupcake - Blue Orchid

Welcome to my Swatch & Art post - today's star is a lovely teal holo from Cupcake Polish called Blue Orchid.

 
This was an exclusive polish to the Holo Hookup box for the month of August and a lot of firsts for me!

#THELACQUERRING: Chevrons

Hello and welcome to today's post! The second prompt for July in The Lacquer Ring was chevrons and I do realize this is week one of August already but I did my chevrons and then procrastinated doing the actual typing. And then when I was ready to blog, my computer decided it didn't want to cooperate with me. For a moment there I thought I might lose everything and there's so many manis I have not shared yet!! Ack, that was a good reminder to back up and actually post more often ;D

Can you spot my chevrons there? They were disguised...read more for the details on this mani! 

Swatch & Art: Fairytale Finish - Beastquake

Welcome to a Swatch & Art post! Today's polish is called Beastquake, by Fairytale Finish. This polish is from last year's Seahawks duo, and is not available for sale, but I poked Amanda (the maker) to see if another set will be released this year. I'm not a sports fan, but found myself collecting her Seahawks polishes....I just love the colors!

*Purchased by me* *Affiliate link* 

I've been wanting to do a navy & pink combo for a while, so the third July prompt for the IG #clairestelle8july challenge was perfect for it. The prompt is splatter, but once again I went for stamping to assist me with the effect ;)

#THELACQUERRING: SEAFOAM

Hello and welcome to June's first #TheLacquerRing post - the color choice is Seafoam! Sorry it's been quiet around the blog - I promise I've been painting my nails, but I got a couple easy peel base coats to play with, and well...they're a little too easy. I end up shedding my manis a lot faster than I expected, and not all of them make it to their photoshoot, lol.

So I got a little ahead of myself and thought the link up was happening last week, and tried to figure out what seafoam is really supposed to look like. 4 seafoam-ish manis later, and I'm still posting a day late! How did that happen?? I guess inspiration didn't find me till the last minute, but let's look at my mani!
