Blue flower in vase nail art


I wasn't sure if I wanted to post this one. I really like the way how I make designs fit my regular hand pose, instead of the boring 'four nails lined up straight' pose. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't! I'm still pretty proud of the way I painted the water, and the flower came out pretty, so I wanted to share anyways. I managed to record a video tutorial too, click to see more!

Freehand purple snake skin nail art


No real snakes were harmed during the making of this mani! LOL Only drops of acrylic paint were (ab)used. I figured I hadn't done snake skin nail art in a while and it's something fun and easy to make, so there's a video tutorial for you to discover and enjoy! Click to see more!

Aquarelle tree nail art


Do you know that feeling, when you've made something new, and you're not exactly sure if you hate it or like it? It's like that for me with this particular nail art design. I like the little gradient shapes but I don't like the way the tree spreads out over the nails. Click to see more!

'Cheeky' midnight fairy nail art


Pardon the butt! But she turned out too cute not to post. This is my midnight fairy, you can name her if you want. A friend of mine called her 'cheeky' because of the bare butt and I think that's actually kind of perfect! I also managed to make a video tutorial so click to see more!

Little cabin in the clearing, freehand nail art


I might have gone a little overboard with these twin nails with @bombchelenails ... I didn't plan on spending 7 hours on it but I was having so much fun just painting and putting a lot of detail into it! All freehand with acrylic paint. I wish I knew who the original image belongs to, it's really dreamy. Click to see more!

3D galaxy nail art (glow in the dark)


Here's a fun idea! 3D galaxy nail art that also glows in the dark! This is actually not at all inconvenient to wear, it didn't bother me at all (unlike some other 3D nail art designs I've done in the past). The idea came to me last time I was working with my foil gel, it's thicker and it makes nice 3D shapes so why not? Click to see more, plus a video tutorial!

Fisherman's sunrise nail art (glow in the dark)

Gift 

With summer fast approaching, I get reminiscent of those warm summer sunrises. I had two polishes that I really wanted to use together and this nail art design is the result! I used the one stroke technique for the background using polish instead of acrylic paint, so I have a video tutorial to show you how that works. Click to see more!

Autism Awareness nail art


I have Asperger's Syndrome, which is a form of Autism. I'm proud to be aut, as the saying goes, because I feel like it's given me a special view on some things, even though some other things are hard for me. Today is World Autism Day so I've done some puzzles pieces nail art (inspired by a gummibear mani by CDB Nails) to support our cause! Click to see more!

Big news, I'm so excited!


I am SO excited to finally be able to share this with all of you! I have been contracted by MCA Official to go on a world tour to do nail art for politicians! It's like my three dreams are coming true in a mix of awesomeness, I get to do my beautiful nail art while talking politics and meeting important people, plus I get to travel all over the world <3 Their rep Christine is just the most amazing woman, she's set all of this up. It's been SUPER hard to not tell anyone, I'm just awful at keeping secrets :-p This wouldn't have happened without all of you, thank you my girls (and guys)!!!! Group hug!!!

EDIT:
I just... can't... I feel so guilty for tricking you! April Fool's!!! I'm so sorry... You are all way too smart! Most of you were just playing along, weren't ya ;-) ;-) I'm not going on a world tour to do politicians' nails. I'm staying right here, on my couch, bringing you new nail art every other day. I'm still in for that group hug though!!!
