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! ❤️

@RGbrown Love the sparkly pink.

[RGbrown]

@tjffc 

Thanks so much! 💕

@RGbrown  Perfect sparkly pink!

[RGbrown]

Thank you @ather! 💕

[PrettyPaint]

@RGbrown  So gorgeous, and your nails are so nice and long! 😍

[RGbrown]

@PrettyPaint 

Thanks so much! I've been trying to see just how freakishly long I could grow my pinky 🤣 But it all came to an abrupt end tonight when I caught it in the waistband of my pants and tore it pretty significantly. Sigh, shorter nails here I come 😥

[PrettyPaint]

@RGbrown  Oh no, that actually sounds like a pretty painful tear. Your nails must be super healthy, though.

[RGbrown]

@PrettyPaint 

'Twas painful indeed; it tore below the quick 😖 I cut a bunch off (and probably should have gone shorter still), patched it up with some glue and teabag, and am just hoping it grows out enough to clear the nail bed without further incident 🤞 

They're definitely much stronger than they used to be (thank you, cuticle oil!), but I still get some breaks and such. I spent three days installing some flooring for my sis last week and wound up with small tears in a couple others that are also now glued together with a teabag and a prayer 😅

[PrettyPaint]

@RGbrown  Oh wow, I don't think anyone's nails could survive the job of flooring. I hope the teabag patches work successfully! I still need to try that trick!

"Hot pink holo sparkle bomb" ~ enough said! This is such a fuuuuuun color! 

Perfect timing with the post, too; I was doing some homework with the little, and showed her your mani after she finished. Moment of truth . . . "That is so beautiful." 😍 You nailed pink as a color of the rainbow @RGbrown! 👊

[RGbrown]

@itsfi 

Awwww, yay, I'm so glad she liked it! ☺️

@lnum  Oooo so pretty 

[itsfi]

@lnum, I love DL Mermaid's Dream! Such a pretty pale green glitter! 💚 And that blue pixiedust sparkle - gorgeous! 💙

[lnum]

@itsfi Thank you!

[RGbrown]

@lnum 

😍😍It's a sparkly dream!

While I really like the Pixies bare, as I love the texture and matte finish as-is, if you get bored and want to mix it up a bit later, but aren't ready for a whole new mani, Liberty looks almost like a completely different polish with a glossy top coat. I was floored when I tried it, as for the few I've done that with before, it didn't make a significant difference, but Liberty gets so much richer, with the silver standing out more ✨✨
