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've got 4 other solid blacks that I can think of, and they're all somewhere between just ok and frustrating. OPI Black Onyx, Orly Liquid Vinyl, Butter Union Jack Black, Zoya Willa...they're either super thin, requiring two+ coats and potentially streaky, or just a bit too thick or gloopy to work with easily. Sinful Colors is easy, even with the tiny brush, but a wide brush made it absolutely perfect. Such a dream to apply! I got it from my sis when she destashed a bunch a few months back, but it'll be on my rebuy list when I run out! 🖤

@RGbrown, I have a black polish from Sally Hansen - it’s goopy and streaky. 😧 That’s so great how you came about your fave black polish - it found a new home and you found a new fave! 🖤

@RGbrown I just got my first two magnetic polishes in my latest polish haul and on my first attempt I definitely didn't get the technique quite right, lol.  I think I need to hold the magnet in place just a tad longer but I LOVE the polishes that I chose and judging by pics that I've seen other people have of them I'm excited to finally "get it right".  I'm sorry that yours were disappointing :(.

[RGbrown]

@CookieGirl1 

Yeah, I've about decided magnetic isn't for me, at least not in regular polish. Even with a quick dry top coat, the polish stays wet for a bit and the effect fades as they solidify, and I do not have the patience to magnetize each nail for eternity as they dry out. I think magnetic may be best served by gel, where you can cure it immediately, but I don't have the patience for gel removal either. I'm damned by impatience either way 🤣

[CookieGirl1]

@RGbrown I hear ya, girlfriend.  Patience isn't exactly one of my virtues 🙄.

@CookieGirl1 @RGbrown  I’m with you. Zero patience 🙄

@samkeaysxo  Love this combo!!

[RGbrown]

@samkeaysxo 

I love these! ✨

[RGbrown]

I fiddle faddled around enough the day before NYE that I didn't have enough time to get my New Year's nails done before New Year's, but hey, better late than never, right? Two days behind is a great start! 🤣

Base color is Essie Gel Couture Embossed Lady, a gorgeous deep purple with silvery shimmer. Nice two coat coverage, though I hate the twisted brush stem. Darn shame because the formula was nice!

Glitter accent is Morgan Taylor It's My Party, a champagne glitter with a few pops of pastel pink, green, and blue. The glitter is dense, and I bet it would be easy to get full coverage out of it ✨
