Hooks and Nails by D

No new nails, I've been rewriting curriculum for my AP world course I teach and enjoying summer with these two. We went on a water ride at the amusement park and got SOAKED. I hope they remember these fun times as they grow up.

Love the subtle fourth look of these floral decals. I wasn't really feeling a full out ♥️ 🤍 💙 look this year. So a combo of popIts layered with Xtra ice was perfect. They have a great glow!!!

My floral decal Let Freedom Bloom is so pretty!! It went on like a dream.

I used gel base, top, and matte top from for this Mani!!! They are fantastic 😍 and no reaction as they are HEMA free.

Added Forever Romance cuticle oil from .

The glow on these is out of this world!! Communication is a blue sparkle that glows a teal blue. And under my decal is popIts!! That's just one dip on popIts. I added icee for a fun play on texture with the same color way.

I used the lavish gel base and top coat!! It's amazing. I like that it's a bit thinner than another product I was using so it didn't get too thick. I'm sensitive to HEMA and this gel on my pressons gave me no problems.

The decal is from July exclusive bundle!! It's my favorite sheet.

I'm literally obsessed with this color from . I was going to wait for one color Wednesday, but I just couldn't. I love the simple beauty and the splash of blue on the taupe base gives beach sand & wave 🌊 vibes without being too bright.

Parliament is gorgeous.

The duos of the month are limited and sadly it looks like this one and its pair are no longer available, but, a great reminder to sometimes let that FOMO and YOLO win. I grabbed the most recent monthly duo of two fun Gray 🩶 🩶 vibes and they arrived so I'm excited to use them.

Loving this fun, giving me a bit of bridgerton vibes (I haven't watched yh newest yet, so no spoilers 😉)

I paired fuzzy socks 💜 and a really fun glitter bubbly. It has a yellow tint but picks up the color of the dips around it making it so easy to pair.

I put bubbly and the decals over Pop-Its a white dip with a wonderful glow!!

The decals were so fun and added a little extra to this Mani. Spring Blossom is such a fun mini sheet.

Happy Anniversary to !!

A few years ago I saw posts from a new Black Woman Owned small dip company that was opening on Juneteenth. The grand opening collection was 🔥🔥 and sincerely still some of my most used colors.

I'm so glad I grabbed those and every order I've made since has been a fantastic package of nail joy and self love.

Today is the last day of the anniversary sale- grab a lot of colors at as much as 35% off!! (My order arrives today and I'm so excited).

This is royalty and it's a perfect purple. I used it with a gloss top and matte with a little fun subtle stamping accent.
Paired with Orchid chunky fun glitter. (I've gotten so many compliments on this set!!)

Anyone else grow up in the 90s? These dip colors from (formerly iDT) were a whole 90s vibe. The fun decals from a past exclusive bundle were the inspo. I love the trolls!!! My high school kids were obsessed with this set, so I'm going to call it a win!!

I reverse painted the decals for the darker dip colors and got a lil sloppy on the middle. Oops 😬.

I'm loving the contrast of the matte decal with the fun sparkle of Blue Me Away.

I decided to put the decal on a light off white/cream Nood from (formerly iDT) to give a more soft background. To make the light pink and blue flowers of the decal pop on the slightly darker colored background I did reverse painting with a little white polish.

Blush & Navy is one of my favorite decals. I've almost used the whole sheet and I think I've had it close to, if not longer than a year. Worked perfectly. I used the sticky base coat!!

I took pictures with and without the stamping.

I'm obsessed with the addition of the peachy orange round glitter on this chunky mix. So fun. The base is a bit more clear/milky so I put it on top of a white layer to help it all pop. I also added the white layer under the yellow 💛.

So beautiful 😍❤️

This is a super simple Mani but I just love Ava from .belles.nails. it's a soft muted pink shimmer and was a perfect color.

I'm headed on spring break starting tomorrow and needed a fun set, but we are also doing some family photos so I didn't want anything I'd get tired of and 😳 rip off 🤫 before next friday.

Love Ava with the little bunny ear charm (thank you Tasha 😘) on the thumb 👍🏻 and the bunny butt I stamped on the ring finger using CjS H107. You can't see it in still pictures but the tail is AT-02 and shifts to a fun pink.

One more st. Patrick's Day set!

I used liquids and dips to create this fun set.

I was gifted their four liquid set, tools, and 20 colors. They are a mix of great pastel spring colors. I love the more muted colors and they are perfect for stamping on!!!

The liquids and powders worked well. I did three dips to get the color to be more opaque. The liquids do have a stronger odor so avoid if you've got dip fly or are sensitive. This set would be wonderful for travel or if you're like me and don't have many solids because you're always grabbing the chunky shiny girls.

Happy birthday 🎈🎈
I hope it was a great day full of all the things you love.

Happy St. Patrick's Day!!

Chicago goes big for st. Patrick's Day, so although I'm not Irish myself I do enjoy celebrating and wearing my green!! (If you've never seen it, Google dye Chicago river green, it's fun! (And safe for the fish... At least that's what we are told).

These two .belles.nails colors have been calling my name since they arrived in the mail. I was going to add some stamping but decided I didn't want to middle up the clean curves.

I got to pair the Belle Bundle this week for .belles.nails !!

These three colors and the decal give me fun spring vibes perfect for this transition season. I've used Naughty Nightshade so many times and it's a perfect color and pairs with so many things.

And I'm Tealing You is a bit jelly, so fun for a peekaboo glitter effect. In this set I did 3 dips to get a bit more opaqueness on the pinky finger. I left two on the thumb (2nd pic) to show off the versatility (a white first coat would also increase opaqueness).
