Nail art is my therapy. All manicures by me, on my natural nails.

Mani number 2 after knee replacement surgery on 5/13/26. Still getting stronger every day.

Lurid Lacquer Paradise Found

Photos are not color accurate and I’m not good at color correcting! It a richer teal color with fantastic shimmer.

Pointer is wonky looking due to patch.

After steering clear of me for a week, Pumpkin sat with me yesterday and Pepper sat with me this morning, that’s the best medicine for recovery 😻😻😻

Mani in the wild ~ Business Travel Edition

Spent 3 great days working at HQ, I loved being in office with my awesome team and co-workers.

🛫📆🛬🕛

I chose this shade based on the brand’s inspiration statement - The Magician is tarot card 1 of the major arcana - symbolizing power, potential, and encouragement to achieve your goals. Very empowering 💪🏼

🧲 My magnetic technique was lacking so the effect was subtle but the holographic magnetic pigment and pink to orange aurora shimmer kept me smiling all week.

💅🏻 Description - a navy blue jelly base with holographic magnetic pigment and pink to orange aurora shimmer. This is Arcana Lacquer The Magician.

This held up very well during my grueling air travel ~ 1 hour delay outbound and 4 hour delay heading home. 😠😟😴

Thermal Thursday! 🌡️🌡️🌡️

❤️💚 Sassy Sauce Twisted Terracotta Tanzanite

Makers’s description - terracotta (cold) to bright green (warm) thermal with a strong green/blue/turquoise/violet glowing shimmer. Sister polish to Zion Sunset.

I added the topper Jen & Berries Magic Show on my left hand when it arrived in the mail this week. Who doesn’t love a little extra sparkle? ✨

Today's polish was inspired by Saphira from Eragon so of course I had to stamp dragons on it! 😁 This is also is a matching mani with @lesmotsdemoi, although this one is a little different. We both had the same stamping plate but different dragon inspired polishes from the same collection and maker. So they're similar but also different. Make sure to check out her mani too! The polish I used has a bright blue jelly base with aqua to blue to green iridescent flakes and a mix of blue holo and iridescent microglitters. If you zoom in on the pictures in direct sun, you can see the blue holo microglitters. They added such a gorgeous subtle sparkle, which you can see in the video. This is Saphira from Moonshine Mani.
