Hawke Blood Stripe


Hawke: Med Light
Today's nail art is inspired by Hawke, the player-character from Dragon Age 2 - or more specifically, it's inspired by his/her blood stripe. This one was super simple which was nice. Sorry for the crappy lighting. It's winter and Canada, so it gets dark fast these days.

Happy Day of The Doctor

Heart of the TARDIS: High Light
Celebrating the Day of the Doctor with some TARDIS inspired nail art! 

Unfortunately though, I'm not super happy with this one. I was up late doing this one and it ended up a bit sloppy. :/

Anywho, more details after the jump.

Tali'Zorah Inspired Nail Art

Tali'Zora Nails: Medium Light

I've recently started another playthrough of Mass Effect and my brain's been swimming with Mass Effect inspired nail art ideas for weeks. Here is the first! Details after the jump!


Here goes nothing...

Hello, and welcome to my humble blog!

My main reason for starting this up is that I've recently become re-obsessed with everything to do with nail polish, nail art and manicures. In the past couple months my collection of nail polish has gone from about 12 to 150 and is ever growing (I have no self control...), and I'm changing my mani at least 3 times a week. I love this hobby! Since I've started I've only wanted to get more involved with the community (nail bloggers, indie polish makers, etc.) - another reason I'm giving a blog a try.

I'm also a fan of art, comics, video games, and various other "nerdy" things. I've always been interested in arts and crafts - drawing, painting, even a brief foray in 3D modelling in college - but I had trouble staying with it regularly. I hoping this might be my happy medium since being creative and making art of some kind takes me to a happy place. Since I've started my brain has been filling up with "themed" ideas for my nails (example below, sorry for the crappy quality).

N7 stripe, crappy photo taken on my phone. Sorry!
As you can see from the image above there's room for a lot of improvement still - photo quality, nail/cuticle maintenance, mani tidiness, etc. Hopefully if you've stumbled across this small corner of the internet, and you stop by again later you'll see some improvements and some cool ideas. I'll also be updating on my tumblr.

Here goes....
