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! ❤️

Oof, yeah, water is a nail killer, and all the extra hand washing (and sanitizer) needed these days certainly doesn't help! If you can, keep some cuticle oil and/or hand cream handy...it can help counteract the drying effect a bit.

Yeah I can’t stand the feeling of dry hands, or dry skin on fabric @RGbrown 😳 I’ve also been using the Dashing Divas and they are fantastic but I feel like my nails need to breathe after a few days! 

I don’t use cuticle oil but maybe that would be a good nighttime nail mask. I’m just gonna be lazy and use olive oil for now, but I’m guessing there are some nice ones out there to try👍🏼

@eshoe 

Nails don't need to breathe...that's another myth 😋 They're already dead, there's no breathing going on there.

I make my own! Jojoba (the closest oil to our natural sebum, so it soaks in the best) plus a bit of vitamin E, and some essential oils for scent. Olive oil would probably be a great night time option though...nice and thick! My night routine is cuticle oil, immediately followed by foot cream, and the extra foot cream gets rubbed into my cuticles to really lock that oil in. I started with the oil I guess about a year ago, and it has made a world of difference, even with just once a day most days.

@RGbrown I so appreciate your insight! I haven’t used cuticle oil in years, never thought to apply it pre-foot cream/mask. I will try that next time, I only give myself a pedicure every couple of weeks, this gives me some inspiration to try something new😊

My nails and I aren't ready for Fall yet.

 

[eshoe]

This is so pretty, @CookieGirl1 - I love it!

@CookieGirl1 

Every time I do fall colors, I have to balance it out with a bright, summery manicure 😋 This is great fun; love the pink! 💕

[RGbrown]

Tried layered stamping for the first time today! The plate has two separate designs; first you lay down the dots for the ladybug color, and then go back over it with the outlines of their bodies. They're tricky to line up, and I'm not sure absolute perfection is even possible with a squishy stamper, but I like the resulting imperfections. 🐞

Since I've been sick I had the chance to do my nails. They've since chipped away before I could get a decent photo.

[2manyperfumes]

Pretty shades @Samtian ❤  I know its so hard to keep them from chipping 

[RGbrown]

@Samtian 

Pretty! Love the combo of the orchid-y pink with the blue sparkle! ✨
