Glow in the dark nail artist nail art


Way to state the obvious :-p But still, this seemed like a great way to celebrate our common nail loving-ness!

The base is A England Nocturne that I got from Color4Nails and I mattified it later on with a matte top coat. There's also some purple Holobae glitter in there, courtesy of Twinkled T ;-) I painted the design with white acrylic paint before adding Serum No. 5 Wisteria-ously Bright and Yes, She Can! to it for...
...the glow effect! It's faaaaaaabulous! Now even ghosts and spiders that watch me while I'm sleeping will know that I like to paint tiny things on my nails :-p












I received A England Nocturne, Serum No. 5 Yes, She Can! and the Holobae glitter from Twinkled T as a press sample. Opinions expressed are 100% my own and not influenced in any way other than the quality of the product itself.

I need a hug nail art


The Smaug in me is giving a little huf at the sight of all that gold! What would you go for first, love or money? (there's no wrong answer here ;-)

And then when the lights go out, the truth shows. Me, I'm always up for a hug!!! If you look closely, you can see the ascender of the h in honey in the light pic too! And yes, ascender is a typograhpy term and I'm a total graphic design geek. Can't hold it against me :-p
My black base is Madam Glam perfect black, because it shows off the flakies SO nicely! I applied Savannah & Treasure flakies from What's Up Nails in a sort of gradient for an extra 'rich' experience, pardon the pun.

Secret love letter nail art for Valentine's Day


This is kind of an anti-Valentine's design, until... the lights go out. Then it's actually pretty sweet!

The base is Serum No. 5 Glowin' of Eden, and it's one of the very brightest polishes I own! It makes the perfect base for this design.

How I did it is... I painted all of the words with white acrylic paint, but went over the smaller words using Artistic Nail Design Rogue Vogue. It has the exact same color as Glowin' of Eden and it blends right in! It took a few coats of top coat to get the end result really smooth, added matte top coat and there you go :-p Secret love letter!

All I want for Christmas... nail art


All I want for Christmas is you... with a little twist! I know it's naughty :-p

I feel this immense pleasure (wrong word for such a design? Hehehe) when I am able to match acrylic paint to the color of a polish and have it go 'invisible'. Can't see it in the light, but it shows up in the dark!

It's Serum No. 5 Wisteria-ously Bright, Laven-daringly Bright, Awesome Blossom & Atomic Peach, the last of which was a perfect match for one of my Apple Barrel acrylic paints.
I painted the words & the snowflakes with acrylic paint and a brush from the Berry Wine brush set from Winstonia. You can use my code PIGGIE for 10% off your Winstonia order :) Merry Christmas!


I hope you guys have the BEST Christmas, however you choose to spend it :)

The power of Autism


I promised you I'd be back with some of the upsides to my Autism, and I brought along some corresponding nail art! I have a few 'super powers' as I like to call them. I see things differently, because my brain processes and stores information differently from 'normal' people. Most of the time it just makes me seem weird, my kind of humor is way different, but at times it's also very convenient, like when I think of new nail ideas that you all enjoy :) Click to see more!

'A flower just blooms' glitter nail art


I can hear you thinking... here she goes again with her inspirational quotes. Yes, because I love nail art with a message! The whole quote goes "A flower does not think of competing with the flower next to it, it just blooms." and it's exactly what I need to remember. I interpret it as 'be the best you you can be' and don't compare yourself to others, because there really is no comparison! Click to see more!
