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! ❤️

Thanks @Tamara76. I feel like a new born foal or something trying to get used to doing simple life things with my new claws. My friend who has the same style says it’ll take a few days. I can’t stop staring at them. They’re SO outside of my style comfort zone but I loooove them!

@starsandbucks,

Loving the bright nails for summer!

Beautiful design and colors @EELINAA! ❤️

You are so creative @EELINAA! I love this look - the hot pink and white are great for summer and that parakeet is so pretty.

[DaneeBT]

I agree with @itsfi! So creative and pretty @EELINAA!

Just a simple design this week 💖

Zoya Morgan (pink)

Zoya Blake (navy) this one is so dark in the bottle that I thought I had grabbed a black; I was a bit shocked when the first coat was a dark blue 😋

[Tamara76]

I love this pink/fuschia shade, @RGbrown!  And the navy pairs quite well with it! ❤️

[angel7594]

So pretty @RGbrown!! Loving the color combination! ❤️

[itsfi]

What a fun color combo @RGbrown! This is perfect for summer!

[RGbrown]

@itsfi thanks so much! 💕

[bakeamuffin]

That’s such a pretty and fun shade of pink @RGbrown!! Your nails look fabulous enough to take out for a cosmo 🍸

Can we talk about how nice your

nail bed is?! Do you use a cuticle cream?

[RGbrown]

@bakeamuffin thanks so much!

I'm actually pretty bad about cuticle care; this just happens to be a good week (for one hand at least lol). Every time I change polish, I drench my cuticles/nails with oil after removing the old color, let it sit for anywhere from 10-30 minutes, push them back and do any filing/clipping/buffing, then soak with oil again and let them sit for another 30 minutes or more before putting on the new polish. That's pretty much the only time I think to do much of anything with my nails, though I do use hand lotion pretty frequently throughout the week and always make sure to rub it all around my nails when I do. 

For some reason, my right hand looks better than my left hand 99% of the time, which is why I always picture it here, even though I'm right handed and taking the pic with my left hand is nothing short of awkward 😄 I guess since I'm more coordinated with my right hand, I can use it more often to keep picking at my left one, and it stays chewed up because I can't seem to quit lol.

Penny Talk by Essie is still a summertime favorite for me! Bit chipped, but such a forgiving neutral (even though it’s metallic!!) that the chips kinda blend in!!

[bakeamuffin]

Oh this is such a pretty colour @KrishAtl! I love that it’s metalic but still looks neutral! 😍

[IndyQT317]

@KrishAtl The shade is nice for the summer.

[Tamara76]

So pretty!  I think I have this color - will have to check my stash and give it a whirl! ❤️   @KrishAtl

[keana1]

@KrishAtl I also have this nail polish! It’s beautiful on your nails but my hands are so light coloured that it’s not as nice looking than on yours! If you want to extend your manicure you can apply a topcoat like the Essie gel setter which is great and you don’t need a UV lamp and is very quick drying.
