Dollish Polish Expecto Patronum Black Roses

I love contrast in nail looks. It's fun to do and fun to look at.

For today, I took the delicateness of Dollish Polish Expecto Patronum and switched it up a bit by stamping a black rose design over top.

I have owned my bottle of Expecto Patronum since 2012! The formula is still great though, and fortunately for you Dolly still makes this polish.

Shore Bright Crackle Nail Art

For today's manicure, I decided to do a throwback to crackle polish. It's not trendy these days, but it's still fun to use :)
I love a bright color under black crackle so I went with KBShimmer Shore Thing as my base and topped it with a black crackle.

Subtle Sparkle Nail Art

For today's manicure, I went with a subtle sparkly nail art design inspired by The Nail Network. She hasn't blogged in a long time, but I still wanted to give credit.

I used Zoya Hadley and Zoya Storm for this mani.

Leopard Print Valentine's Day Nail Art

Happy Valentine's Day!!! Are you doing anything special? We're not. It's a weeknight, and my husband works until late like usual. Oh well!

I did do some fun nails for today inpsired by @mayasnailart.


For my base, I went old school with OPI Canberra'T Without You, but any nude polish would work. I really like this one because of the super subtle gold shimmer (check on the last macro shot).

Valentine's Day Hearts | Zoya Everly

Valentine's Day is fast approaching. Do you celebrate? My husband and I like to have a nice dinner out, but we usually try for sometime during February. The date isn't super important :)

Today, I have a quick and sweet Valentine's Day theme manicure that I did.


I used Zoya Everly from the new Winter Holos collection for my base. After applying top coat and letting it fully dry, I used heart decals and Zoya Isla to complete my accent nail.


Everly has that formula that Zoya has in all their holographics. It went on easily in two coats and was easy to remove.

a-england Saint George

a-england Saint George is one of my favorite polishes of all time. It's an absolutely stunning dark teal polish. It goes on easily in 2 coats, and possibly one coat depending on your application but I prefer thinner coats.

I've purchased this polish a few years ago, but it's still available. The a-england website has a list of places where you can buy it.

Sunday Football Nail Art

Anyone watching the Big Game today? We will be here. I'm not too interested in either team playing, but it's still a fun time and we've got a bunch of appetizers to munch on :)

Since I'm not rooting for either team, I went with just a generic football theme on my nails for today. I was easy to do, and I love them with matte top coat.



I used Zoya Jace and Zoya Emilia for my base. I added details using a white and yellow polish. After my fast dry top coat was applied and dry, I used Zoya's matte topcoat over the whole mani.
