Show Me Your Nails 2.0

[Tamara76]

Due to some technical glitches with the original Show Me Your Nails Thread, I am starting a new thread with @vegchililover78's blessing (She says "hello," by the way!).

Please share your nail looks, nail art and manicures!

...And don't forget to check out @Beadshopgirl's Nail Stamping Thread for stamping inspiration! ❤️

I second this, @juliehnguyen!   I love ILNP, in fact I’ve posted a lot of nail colors from them on this thread.   And @RGbrown is correct - No light needed!❤️

[juliehnguyen]

ILNP really must be amazing if both you and @RGbrown love them so much! Definitely going to place my order asap! @Tamara76

[Tamara76]

Yay!  Please share your haul and looks once they arrive!💗💗💗. @juliehnguyen

[juliehnguyen]

Will do @Tamara76! 

[juliehnguyen]

Thanks for the recommendations @RGbrown! I've been into doing my own nails lately (it's such a stress reliever) and I love the holographic and chrome trend.

For the ILNP polish, do I need to use a LED light?

[RGbrown]

@juliehnguyen

Nah, ILNP just makes regular nail polish, not gel. No light needed!

[juliehnguyen]

Awesome! Thanks @RGbrown!

Here is a gel mani with ultra chrome powder I had done at a salon in Vegas last weekend (sorry - I don't know the brand or colors...):

Vegas Nails!!!!

Question:  When I get gel manis, they normally last two weeks without chipping.  I got my nails done at home the day before my trip and noticed my nails started chipping a day into the trip.  I got them redone at a salon in Vegas and these (sadly) started to chip 2 days later.  Could it be because of the dryness in Vegas?  I live in a super humid/swampy area and have not experienced this at home... 😞

Love all the colors coming through on that polish.  Very pretty @Tamara76!

[Tamara76]

[Tamara76]

Awwww - Thanks, @mezzotown88!!! ❤️ ❤️ ❤️

[RGbrown]

@Tamara76 simply beautiful!

I dunno if it's the real answer your question, but dryness definitely sounds reasonable. So sorry they didn't last 😢

[Tamara76]

Thank you, @RGbrown!!!  I got my hair done today and talked to my stylist - he wasn't sure, either, but said that can sometimes happen with wet manicures, even with gel polish, so who knows...  But now that the gel is gone, I can do lots of fun Christmas looks this week! 🙂
