Love To Be Lavish

This rose creme by Artistic Nail Design isn't normally a color I wold choose for a winter mani, but the warm, spring-time vibe is welcome.

The Original

Just because the weather is cold and dreary, doesn't mean your nails have to be too.

Wrap Remix

This is just a quick mani upcycle to a previous design I had on.

Pa-Rum-Pa-Pum-Pum Plaid

Mixing media is the use of a variety of media in a work of art. The same can be done with nail art.

Sapphire Scales

I'm hopping on the gel bubble/scale mani bandwagon. This design looks really cool and is surprisingly simple to do.

Purr-fect Purple

If you are like me, you always have some leftover nail wraps (or pieces or wraps) that you don't know what to do with. If it's not enough for a whole nail, you can always use pieces to add some accent designs.

Merry Muave

Even a mauve mani can be mauve-lous with the right embellishments. 

Kaleidoscope Kristmas

Christmas...disco style, with a lot of color and a lot of glitter.

Woodsy Winter

Who else is watching the non-stop Christmas movies on TV right now? It's hard not to get in the holiday spirit with Christmas everywhere you look.

Wicked Webs

I know Halloween is over, but here's one more Halloween mani for the road.

Ghoulish Glow

Happy Halloween everyone! 

Leopard Chase

BeneYOU has been doing these limited releases of Jamberry lacquer strips (which appears to be great marketing since they sell out in minutes), so I had to get in on some.

Lust In Time

Lust In Time is the final polish from the Wrapped in Mystery Fall 2019 Collection by Artistic Nail Design. It is a burgundy shimmer, but the pearlescent effect is very subtle so it adds a little mystery to the standard red mani.

A Jewel In Disguise

A Jewel In Disguise is a copper shimmer from the Wrapped in Mystery Fall 2019 Collection by Artistic Nail Design.

Twist of Fashion

With a polish name like Twist of Fashion, this mani needs some upscale glam. Twist of Fashion is a deep brown pearl from the Wrapped in Mystery Fall 2019 collection by Artistic Nail Design.

Mesmerizing Mauve

Mesmerizing Mauve is a dusty mauve creme from the Wrapped In Mystery Fall 2019 Collection from Artistic Nail Design. The collection is inspired by every woman's need to find their own version of glam.

Overdose Awareness

Today is International Overdose Awareness Day.

Ingénue In Blue

Ingénue In Blue is a dark navy pearl inspired by those dark autumn skies. But the darker the skies, the brighter the stars. So this mani is packed with iridescent rhinestones and pearls.

Madame Rouge

Madame Rouge is a rich magenta pearl from the Wrapped In Mystery Fall 2019 Collection by Artistic Nail Design. 

Hello Kitty

I can't believe it has taken me this long to do a Hello Kitty mani! Growing up, I always had the latest pencil cases and stationary supplies from Sanrio.

Canine Compassion

#adoptdontshop. There are so many cute babies at the shelter looking for their furever home.

Crimson Chrome

Queen of Hearts, Queen of Christmas, or just a queen..these nails are meant to rule.

Mystic Magnets

I didn't think "gel" versus "polish" magnets made a difference, but maybe they do?

Emerald Expression

Sometimes manis don't go as planned, but they still work out. This is one of those.

Silver Skynet

Silver chrome nails always make me think of the T-1000 terminator from Terminator 2: Judgment Day.

All-Powerful Genie

"You ain't never had a friend like me!"

Glow Big Or Go Home

Bold neon nails with gold accents are perfect for a summer mani that will have you looking "so fly."

Mine Mine Mine

They only said one word, but those seagulls in Finding Nemo sure made an impression.

Flying Fish

"A bird may love a fish, signore, but where will they live?...Then I shall have to make you wings." - Ever After

Appetizing Asian

If you follow me, you know I always paint each hand differently. These Appetizing Asian nails are the other half of my Appetizing Aji nails.

Appetizing Aji

If you saw my Instagram post yesterday, I went to the grand opening of Aji Dori in Sacramento. And never one to miss a good nail opportunity, I did a mani to match the occasion.

Don't Be Shady

Get ready to make a splash with this fuchsia shimmer polish from the So Fly 2019 Summer Collection by Artistic Nail Design.

Electric Epcot

Even though there aren't a whole lot of rides at Epcot, I really enjoyed that park for all the food! I wanted to eat everything, but my stomach was at max capacity. These nails are inspired by the iconic Epcot geosphere.

Stitch and Scrump

Stitch is an obvious pick for one of my Disney/summer manis. They live in Hawaii after all.

Glow Get It!

Choice waves and neon rays, this mani is ready for a day at the beach.

Mistress of All Evil

For an oldie but goodie, I recreated my Maleficent nails from 2014. 

Shaded Not Jaded

Shaded Not Jaded is a green neon creme from the So Fly Summer 2019 Collection by Artistic Nail Design. This polish is BRIGHT. The green is akin to Slimmer from Ghostbuster, or the ooze from TMNT.

Purple Poison

If we learned anything from Snow White, you should never accept food from a stranger. Especially fruit. Eww. They obviously hate you and wish you harm. 

Ultra-Violet Rays

You'll be looking "So Fly" with the new summer collection by Artistic Nail Design.

Mickey Munchies

I recently went to Disney World for the first time, so I had to do Disney nails! 

Love Laced

A lace mani is probably my favorite for weddings. So classic and clean, you can never go wrong.

The Big Re-veil

A pearlescent finish on a nude polish adds just a hint of glam.

Chiffon & On & On

Chiffon & On & On is a dusty pink creme from the Sheerly Devoted 2019 Wedding Collection by Artistic Nail Design.

Gorgeous In Gossamer

Get ready to "tie the knot" with this simple, yet symbolic mani.

Tulle Death Do Us Part

I know weddings are all about the big white dress, but the name of this polish gives me a goth feel.

It's Going Gown

Say "I do," to the new Sheerly Devoted Wedding 2019 Collection by Artistic Nail Design.

Brushed Brilliance

With a collection inspired by painting, a dry brush mani is a must.

Savage Seas

Clear nail wraps looks great over plain or polished nails. If you're looking for just a pop of color, only paint one or two nails.

Abstract Abloom

This mani was actually a mess up, but abstract art is very forgiving. I originally did some dry brushing, but it didn't turn out as planned so I added some smoosh art over it.

Pop Perfect

With a polish collection made to inspire works of art, I couldn't pass up an opportunity for some pop art.
