Finally not suffering from gastritis and had the energy to play with some cute nails. Please enjoy this strawberry milk cow. It's so cute that I will absolutely be designing my next set around it. 🍓🐮 #NailArt #pressonnails #gelnails #cincinnatinails

Took today off and leaned into a slow, easy Friday. Played some Overwatch 2, visited a friend’s cats, started focaccia dough that’s now resting in the fridge. Noticed my thunbergia and rosemary are starting to germinate too. Glad for a quiet, no pressure day. 🌱

Leg day, best day! 💚🦵 I used the Hevy app for today's workout for the first time after seeing it here a lot. Definitely going to make tracking a much easier! I've had three press-on nails abandon me this week. Shockingly, not from abuse at the gym. Turns out the office is more hazardous. 🙃

Forgot my nice walking shoes at home so I wore my stinky, salt-crusted sneakers. My bad. 😅 Fitbit says I earned another climbing record? Not sure how, but I'll take it. 🎉 It also keeps giving me insane cardio load goals. Hopefully it'll figure out I'm on beta blockers soon and fix that insanity. 💗🩺

First time being this organized for the growing season. I'm in zone 6b. Got my seed-startong shelf set up with heat mats and grow lights. Got some rosemary and thunbergia planted to start things off. More vegetables to come next week, along with any germination updates. 🌱🌵🪴

Made this neon goth Valentine's set on Saturday and I couldn't wait to get them on. I think I need to do an entire set with iridescent flakes like the pinky nail. First time wearing rhinestones and I can't stop fidgeting with them. We'll see how long they last before I accidentally pick them off. 😅💚

Handmade neon green and black press-on nails. Designs include green marbled nails, black nails with small iridescent hearts, a neon green nail with silver rhinestones, and a black nail with reflective shard accents. Bold Valentine’s goth theme.

These are my most recent nail art creations. They took me all day yesterday between shaping the press ons to fit my nail shape, painting with gel paints, and sculpting with hard gel (and taking plenty of breaks for food and gaming). Hard to believe I only started this hobby this past January.

Set of handmade press-on nails in a coffee theme, with brown and cream marbling, white heart designs, gold caramel-like swirls, and tiny sculpted coffee beans. One nail is designed to look like an iced caramel latte with whipped cream and ice cubes.

Made a space to track the things I’m growing and building lately 🌱💅💪 Expect plants, press-on nail art, and “I lifted heavier than last month” updates.
