I definitely fell off the nail art wagon pretty hard, haven’t posted anything in almost two years! In that time, I have found a renewed love for traditional art though. I was pretty proud of how this one turned out, being my first attempt at Mylar balloons, so I wanted to share it! My first piece of July ‘21. Done with Ohuhu alcohol brush markers in an Arteza 5.5x5.5in watercolor sketchbook. Happy July! #arteza #ohuhu #ohuhumarkers #ohuhubrushmarkers #julyart #artezasketchbook #mylarballoons #alcoholmarkers #drawingballoons #balloondrawing https://www.instagram.com/p/CQyIVH9gtfl/?utm_medium=tumblr
Using @p2cosmetics_us Breakfast with Tiffany, I created a simplistic negative space striped design for the @digitaldozen’s patterns week. #p2 #digitaldozen #thedigitaldozen https://www.instagram.com/p/B1RURbtAEqO/?igshid=1gcc2vh51efd6

Another pattern mani for @digitaldozen week. I used @sally_hansen Canary for the base, and @zoyanailpolish Vallory for the stars. #zoya #sallyhansen #digitaldozen #thedigitaldozen https://www.instagram.com/p/B1RT0obgRb1/?igshid=rjn5gi1j9lcc
Meh. They were supposed to be tone-on-tone raindrop-style nails for @digitaldozen’s patterns week, but they didn’t turn out the way I imagined. #digitaldozen #thedigitaldozen https://www.instagram.com/p/B1RTlyjA7bz/?igshid=1eb7bhbfxcacj
This month the @digitaldozen created patterned manis. I used @chinaglazeofficial Violet-Vibes and Hot Flash for a little #tbt Interconnecting Dots design. #digitaldozen #throwbackthursday #chinaglaze https://www.instagram.com/p/B1RTcYagdVW/?igshid=uh80a8stym
Some stripy business for the @digitaldozen’s week of vacation themed manis. I used @justricarda Whiteout, @sundays_studio No. 45, and @virtuouspolish Chastity for this fun, summery look. #ricawhiteout #virtuouspolish #sundays #digitaldozen https://www.instagram.com/p/BzJuon6gm2J/?igshid=1kqszemf7hwxb
For June the @digitaldozen did vacation themed nail art. I used No. 45 by the brand @sundays_studio from an @Ipsy bag, and @zoyanailpolish Aspen for a dry marble attempting to replicate crashing waves. #zoyanailpolish #sundays #ipsy #digitaldozen #zoya #ipsyglambag https://www.instagram.com/p/By-zn_mAbnN/?igshid=1gbq3mypsg9vc
This month the @digitaldozen did vacation themed manis. I used @zoyanailpolish Stassi and Tilda with @justricarda Whiteout to create some fun lime slices. #zoya #digitaldozen #ricawhiteout #rica https://www.instagram.com/p/By74r18AljI/?igshid=opg90sqg3uxm

I didn’t actually do a ton of nail art last year, so I didn’t have a lot to chose from, but I wanted to post a #Top8of2018 anyway. So here they are! #topeightof2018 https://www.instagram.com/p/BsUOMbcA6tV/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=q9tczoxgrgni
Last but not least, catching up from my slacktastic mani posting ways, for my final design from last month’s “holo” @digitaldozen theme, I created a strand of holiday lights against a brick wall background. #digitaldozen#thedigitaldozen https://www.instagram.com/p/BsUMcuzA9fJ/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=wpbyiovc42rx
Catching up on posting last month’s @digitaldozen holo manis, this is one my daughter came up with. She picked the @colorclubnaillacquer Halo Hues for the background colors, then wanted chocolate and vanilla frosting with sprinkles. ☺️ #digitaldozen#thedigitaldozen https://www.instagram.com/p/BsUIXaNgMOE/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1d0bog8s3gwzb
I slacked on posting our @digitaldozen holiday manis last month! Our theme was holo so I did a fun snowflake design in non-traditional colors. Although the holo bits in the background did get pretty lost, I like how it turned out. #digitaldozen #thedigitaldozen https://www.instagram.com/p/BsUIHwcgoqB/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=iolxa6hcroya
