Let’s kick this week off right, friends, with a manicure inspired by Yzma, the bad gal of Disney’s animated movie The Emperor’s New Groove, and a woman described by just about everyone who meets her as “scary beyond all reason.” If only she could shake that pesky llama problem! And that lever problem. And that […]
Bahahahahaha – or perhaps baaaaaa-hahahaha? – Bo Peep on my thumb here looks like a nun! I maintain, I am utter crap at painting characters, they ALL come out looking like black market, carnival-grade nylon nightmares. I do think her three-headed, one-body sheep are rather fetching, however. And in case you’re curious as to this Disney […]
Well, would you look at that – actual nail art on this nail art blog! However, owing to the fact that my brain now seems to be permanently stuck in Disney auto-pilot mode, you know there’s gots to be some House of the Mouse in here somewhere. This is Vampirina. She may be blue, with […]
…Makes me sick! As Winifred Sanderson of Hocus Pocus might say, here represented in tiny lacquered form alongside her witchy sisters, toady Mary and nitwit Sarah. I am a late, late convert to the Cult of Hocus Pocus, much to the chagrin of a number of friends (hi, Jessica!) who swore up and down that […]
For non-Disneyphiles, Madame Leota is the spirit of a deceased clairvoyant who lives in the Haunted Mansion. She’s remarkably chatty, dramatically intoning all sorts of wisdom from beyond the corporeal realm, although she don’t get around much – Madame Leota is naught but a head in a crystal ball. Which made these nails for day […]
Looks like third time’s the charm for these charming Ariel nails that borrow quite a bit from a previous design, while adding some serious infrastructure upgrades in the form of new shells – a couple of nail charms from Daily Charme – for one Miss Mermaid. I love these nails! I think this manicure turned […]
So Finding Dory is going to make allllllll the movie money this weekend, yes? Not bad for an animated Blue Tang with short-term memory loss. And so in honour of the little blue fish that could, I thought I’d update an earlier Dory design of mine that I always felt was not quite up to […]
Here’s a random bit of Disney amusement park trivia for you: Sally Shine is the name of the little Shirley Temple-esque girl who becomes a permanent resident of the Twilight Zone on the Tower of Terror ride. Or she was – word on the street is the Twilight Zone Tower of Terror is getting re-zoned AND […]
Someone really needed to warn me that Lilo & Stitch was going to be the gut-wrenching, emotional sucker punch that it was. I watched it this afternoon for the first time while completing these nails inspired by Lilo’s DIY dolly, Scrump, and by the three-quarter mark, I was sobbing so hard – big, heave-y, choked-out […]
It’s all aces for Alice in this mani inspired by the Disney animated movie, Alice in Wonderland. My preferred Alice is actually this super messed up version (but really, is there any other kind?) from 1985. It was a two-part musical TV special filmed entirely on a set with all your favourite film stars of […]
