Show Me Your Nails 2.0

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!

I'm definitely hoping for another 70% off deal! Last year, it was the day after Xmas, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed between now and then 🤞

Re: Show Me Your Nails 2.0

@RGbrown, I thought there was some ridiculously good deal near the end of the year but didn’t know the timing. 70%?!! That’s even better than I thought it was. 🤩 Day after Christmas. Got it. Thank you!!! Will keep on the lookout for info about it mid-December. 

Re: Show Me Your Nails 2.0

You have that creative flair @RGbrown 🤩❤️ Love this combination

Re: Show Me Your Nails 2.0

These were my nails last Sunday:

Base Coat = Infinite Shine 1 ProStay Base Coat/Primer  |  Polish = Essie Angora Cardi  |  Top Coat = Poshe Super Fast Drying Top CoatBase Coat = Infinite Shine 1 ProStay Base Coat/Primer | Polish = Essie Angora Cardi | Top Coat = Poshe Super Fast Drying Top Coat

 

The polish was starting to show some chipping on my middle, ring and pinky nails so I decided to do some stamping tonight:

Used a couple of stamping plates. Stamping polish = Revlon Molten MagicUsed a couple of stamping plates. Stamping polish = Revlon Molten Magic

I'm discovering that I do better stamping with small, single designs as opposed to larger patterns / graphics. Revlon 135 Molten Magic is a fabulous polish to use for stamping. Huge thank you to you, @RGbrown for recommending it! 💖

Re: Show Me Your Nails 2.0

@itsfi Gorgeous. Love the stamping.  

Re: Show Me Your Nails 2.0

@itsfi 

Ah yay, glad you got the Revlon! These look great; such a nice way to perk up a mani midweek! 💕

Re: Show Me Your Nails 2.0

Thank you @RGbrown. 🤗  You’re always so encouraging! I completely understand why you love this Revlon polish so much for stamping. Wow. It not only comes out nicely but the entire stamping process was easy breezy with it. 😍 

 

I think I may try to do mid-week stamping more often; it makes for a nice break from daily demands.

Going for ocean vibes today; I really miss the beach 🌊🏖

Re: Show Me Your Nails 2.0

@RGbrown, it’s very calming looking at this manicure - the polish, the stamping! The silver pairs so nicely with all the polishes! 😍

Re: Show Me Your Nails 2.0

Magnetic polish, take two!

I used a bigger magnet this time, and tried to be a little more patient with holding times, and...I'm still somewhat underwhelmed. I think part of it is that the shift in color in this one is fairly subtle. It is cool to look at up close, but golden olive to slightly darker golden olive isn't all that dramatic. Perhaps my expectations were too high? I may keep an eye out for something with a bolder shift, but I think this might be a situation where gel is the better choice. I do also think it'll be worth investing in a nail magnet for me (or finding a rectangle one that's strong enough around the house)...I'd really like to try a diagonal line, as that's always my favorite when I see pics online. All I have are circles though, and my hands shake a bit...I bumped my thumb (again) today trying to wave back and forth in an attempt at a line, so I backed off that and just went with holding the magnet steady. 

 

Even if the effect is subtle, this color is still gorgeous, and I'm sure I'll come back to it again at some point 💚

Here are a couple of different angles to maybe help illustrate the shift a bit

(BTW, it's more olive-y IRL...my camera wants to brighten it a bit, lime it up 🙄)

 

And on my other hand!

Orly Valley of Fire (copper) plus Revlon Divine

This feels unfinished now that I'm looking at it. Not quite sure what to add yet though, if anything 🤔

ETA: added a little gold stamping, and now I'm slightly annoyed that the horizontal lines covered up my ombre, leaving it looking more like a color block than a fade. Ah well, perhaps I'll change them now 😂

Re: Show Me Your Nails 2.0

@RGbrown Wow.  I love all of the looks.  The ombre is gorgeous.  The green is a bold vibrant shade that looks fantastic on you.  Your work is amazing. 

Re: Show Me Your Nails 2.0

Thank you @tjffc! 💕
