Like a work of art
Big Boo Boo
For this one, I actually got a big cut on my hand and was bleeding a lot of out if (but don’t worry, no “real” blood shall be shown on this blog, so I’ve taken the liberty to cover up the bad parts with emojis.
HOLO BAND AID OF COURSE!!!

Dragon Ball Nails (Behind the scenes)
Well, for people who don’t know, making these complicated nail arts takes time and often, it’s a mess. For these nails, I didn’t want to do them over my natural nails because it would take a long time and I needed both nails to work efficiently, so I decided to take some UHU Adhesive Reusable Putty:
And an empty plastic container and adhere the fake nails to it so I could work easily. This gave me the freedom to move around, gather supplies and work to my ❤️’s content.
Working on fake nails also gave me the liberty to let it dry by itself instead of worrying I’d ruin all the work I’d done while the nails were drying, and a tiny secret here: the amount of layers on these nails is a lot.
Then, I painted the nails with the base color:
After doing all the white nails, I realized some of the nails didn’t have a white base but rather a skin tone for the characters, so I repainted those and while they dried, I stamped on 2 tiny purple stars on the orange nail.
THERE!!! ONE NAIL!!! DONE!!!
4 more to go…
When I was trying to work on my first actual nail art, Cell, I was trying to draw on a silhouette so I could paint it later. BIG MISTAKE. You can see the semi-covered mistake here:
But! We don’t shy away from mistakes and decided to cover up the entire thing so I could pretend I didn’t make any mistakes. AAAAAND IT WORKED. (Don’t worry about the bumpiness, any top coat fixes that and smoothes out any mistakes 😉 )
The rest of the nails were surprisingly easier to make, but they did take a while to dry.
Once everything was done, it was just a matter of waiting for them to try and placing them over my own nails to take the picture!

My favorite candy
When I was little and we were at the supermarket, I’d always ask my mom to get this candy for me. It’s resonated so much that even to this day I ask for it whenever I go back home. The fact that the company that made it had my name as well made it so much tastier and better.
Life on Mars nails!
Ever since I heard of David Bowie’s passing on January, I’ve been nothing short of obsessed with his music and his fashion sense. He was a great person, artist, and performer and I found out he was part of many things I already liked but had no idea he was the creative genius behind.
Naturally, I took to Google to see if anyone had done any David Bowie nails and found one person on Instagram that had. She’s @monkeynailart and she was just the inspiration I needed to make my own, so here it is:
Life on Mars nails!
I know David Bowie didn’t pass away but merely moved to another planet.
I hope to meet you someday David!
Beatles Nails!
This was an old challenge that a buddy of mine asked me to do, here are the pictures doing the challenge!
Holo Butterflies
I had been meaning to do this for such a long time since it’s an old design that’s been floating around the internet. Holo polishes definitely make this stand out and it looks more realistic!
