February is upon us and Valentine's Day is nigh. While most people are making plans with their significant others, be it spouses, sneaky links, beaux, etc. I've been planning the some pretty spicy nail art. 

So where does that lead us? Welcome to Nail Your Kink. A new series that's runs the next four weeks where I where do some pretty kinky things to my nails to celebrate a holiday made for especially for love coitus. So, with no commercial interruption, I present Fetish Rabbit Mask Nail Art.

As far as the manicures that I've got planned this month, this one is definitely on the tame side. However, I'll humor you with the reactions this set got from others.

Most people looked at them and said, "Cute! A bunny!" Oh sweetheart, it's a lot less innocent than you think. 

In fact, the only person that "got" it (and acknowledged it out loud) was one of my fellow spicy friends. So I'm pretty sure this manicure qualifies for the-girls-that-get-it-get-it category. 💅🏿

Fun fact. My department's HR rep asks to see my nails every single time she sees me. I'm absolutely certain this month's encounters will be interesting to say the least. I'll keep you posted on those reactions too.

Care to take any wild guesses at the other XXX manis I have planned this month? Leave them in the comments.

Tune in. Drop out. Love polish.

It's finally Spooky Bitch Season and that means it's time for some fun & festive Spooky Bitch Nails.

I actually did this design last year, but my nails were short and I wasn't actively blogging. So obviously I had to recreate them.

How does the adage go? If it didn't happen on the Internet, then it did it happen at all. Right? Right.  

What Did I Use?

• Base color: two coats of a VHTF gem. An original formula OPI Bubble Bath--the girls that get it, get it.
• Bloody hand prints: Sally Hansen Insta-dri The Un-Red & What's Up Nails Bloody Hands stencils
• Cha Cha Covers Crime Scene Tape decals
• Quick dry top coat
• Illamasqua Boudicca on my Cindy Hand (not photographed)

You're about to witness NaCD history. For the first time in this blog's 11 year history, here's photo of my dominate & my Cindy Hand in the same photo. Setting up and posing for this photo was harder than actually doing these nails. 

Are you excited for Spooky Bitch Season? Did you pick out your Halloween costume yet? Let's chat in the comments.

Fall is here! If it wasn't official before, it is now. Summer may be over but my obvious love for neons isn't going anywhere. Well, today they are because I've got a How I Wore It and a review of select shades from Zoya's Cafe Creams collection for Fall 2022.

Cafe Creams is a 6-piece collection that consists of five richly pigmented crèmes & one glitter topper. 

I have some fun nail art planned for the noticeably absent Biscuit and Ophelia. Which is why you don't see them in today's post.

• Thumb & Index: Kahula under two coats of Bonnie
• Middle: Remington under two coats of Bonnie
• Ring & Pinky: Constance under two coats of Bonnie

Each of the three crèmes have the same smooth formula that reach full opacity in two coats. 

Bonnie is the glitter topper of the bunch and is described as a "sheer and luminous" rose gold glitter.  It's a fun topper for sure and I would love a gold shard glitter topper like this. *nudges Zoya*

The entire Cafe Creams collection is Big 10-free and available now on Zoya.com. Catch the full press release HERE.

I guess I'll get today's post started by announcing that I'm a Plant Mom now! I also have zero green thumbs, so it's been interesting to say the least. There have been many a close call and one fatality.  RIP Pointy the Poinsettia. You were the biggest drama queen in the house, but I loved you all the same. 

Eulogies aside, let's get into my plant inspired nail art.  

1. I started with two coats of Enchanted Polish The 90's and applied a layer of quick dry top coat.
2. When my nails were dry enough, I placed a What's Up Nails Tropical Plant vinyl on each nail.
3. Next, I performed a gradient using Absolute One Shot Neon Pearl Pink and Wet n Wild Black Créme.
4. Once I reaching my desired gradient opacity, I removed the vinyls and applied top coat.

Is now an opportune time to say that my only tropical child is an aloe plant I named after Miguel? 

Anyway. Let me know if you've tried a plant-inspired manicure before. Or tell me the names of your plant kids in the comments.

I've been having a moment with marbles of all kinds. Fluid marbles, marble drags, and smoosh marbles. So today you're getting a fluid marble featuring the Zoya Pink Palette collection. 

So how did I do it? I did a fluid marble using Joanie, Maddy, Shannon, Kay, and Gigi. Once I used all the cremes, I applied a layer of this collection's special topper, Angel.

Zoya Pink Palette is definitely a collection for the pink gworls💮.

To say it's been awhile would be an understatement. And if I had a dollar for every time I used that line after a hiatus, I'd be rich have more dollars than I currently do. 

As the title suggests, I've got a smooshed marble featuring Zoya's entire Metallic Dreams trio

This four-step mani took less time than it did to edit the content required for this blog post. Yup, it was that easy.

Step 1: Lay down two coats of Matilda as a base color.

Step 2: Apply some blobs of Matilda, Moki, and Amara on a nail art mat (plastic wrap or ziplock bag is fine). 

Step 3: Smoosh polish blobs with a stamper and roll the stamper on the nails. (Repeat steps 2-3 until desired result is achieved.)

Step 4: Apply top coat.

Are you feeling metallics for fall? Let's chat in the comments.
