    Luv U So Matcha | Set Stories

    Yes, I love matcha so much that I made a matcha nail art set. I’d been thinking about this set for months because I started making guava matcha lattes at home daily. And when I say daily, I truly mean I drank a matcha latte every single day. I didn’t just hop on the matcha…

    Summer is over, unfortunately, and I’m just getting around to posting these sunset ombre nails. But just because my favorite season has come to an end doesn’t mean we can’t carry the summer vibes into the fall. I truly loved this set and will likely re-do it next summer.  For now, let’s get into the…

    Calling all of my sneaker lovers with pretty nails! I’m finally back with some sneaker-inspired nail art. I went to the bottom of my closet to get inspiration for this set, not because I don’t love these sneakers, but because when I first bought them, I wore them so much they kinda became my beaters.  …

    What do you do when you need to create DIY press-ons but have no idea what design to do? You become your own inspo and recreate an old set! That’s exactly what I did for this glass nail art set, featuring hibiscus flowers, which is why I’ve titled this a “Re-Set Story”.  Let’s get into…

    I’d love to be the type of person to keep fresh flowers in my home at all times, but I’m not, so I made a flower press-on nails instead! It’s summer, I’m still into bright nails, and a floral nail art design is a great way to infuse tons of color into a manicure. My…

    Every time I looked down at this custom DIY press-on nail set, the tune of “Watermelon Sugar” kept looping in my mind. The funny thing is that watermelons weren’t even the main inspiration for this set, but I just couldn’t unsee it. This is a set that was inspired by some press-ons I did over…

    Knicks in 5 | Set Stories

    Go NY, Go NY, Go!!! I created this NY Knicks nail art set to celebrate the team’s historic NBA championship run (and win)! I actually had a whole other set planned to wear during this time, but I knew that I’d regret not rocking a blue-and-orange set if the Knicks happened to win. I’m not…

    Happy belated Mother’s Day to all the mothers, moms, mommies, muvas, and mamas – this graffiti art-inspired press-on nail set is for you!        My last few nail sets have been sneaker-inspired, so I wanted to try something different. These nails are colorful, bold, and very much give “‘round the way” mom, and I’m here for…

    Cloudy With a Chance | Set Stories

    So I’m seeing that some of the girlies want “regular” flats, not sneakers, for the summer… couldn’t be me! To prove my love for kicks, I’m bringing you another sneaker-inspired nail art set.  This set is round two of my New Balance x Salehe Bembury DIY custom press-on nails – we have several more rounds…

    Surprise! Surprise! I have a new sneaker-inspired nail art set for y’all! You’re welcome.  For these DIY custom press-on nails, my source of inspiration was the Asics x Cecilie Bahnsen collaboration Gel Quantum 360 VIIIs in the Silver/Black colorway. They’re the perfect slip-on tomboy femme sneaker, and I’ve worn them dozens of times since I…
