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! ❤️

@PrettyPaint Love the sparkly pink. 

[PrettyPaint]

@tjffc  Awwww thank you! ❤️

[itsfi]

Yes @PrettyPaint! Summer is here and you are all set for it with this bright and sparkly pink! 😍  Yay for posting to the thread too! First post but not the last, right? 🤞😁

[PrettyPaint]

Thanks so much @itsfi. I feel like I'm really bad a taking nail photos, but I shall try. I painted my nails today, but totally messed them up. I thought they were dry, but the tips got messed up several hours afterwards...no idea why.

@PrettyPaint 

Ahhhhh, that's a gorgeous color! 😍 Definitely perfect for summer 🏖️ Happy to see a new face (errr, hand) here 🥰

[PrettyPaint]

@RGbrown  Thank you so very much. I always manage to find some fun ones from Polish Pickup.

PPU is always a dangerous but stunning adventure 💖

It's way past time for me to do a rainbow! 🌈

From pinky to thumb:

Sinful Colors Under 18

A bright red that looks like a true red, but also has the barest hint of a rusty/orange tone to it. Easy two coats.

3ina #212

S. Korean polish I found on clearance at Nordstrom Rack for $3ish. Always being open to testing a new brand, I opted for their yellow, hoping our SE Asian friends had maybe made a breakthrough in formulating them better than we can, but alas, it was just as streaky as any other I've tried. I found the formula a bit watery as well, and had to be extra careful not to flood my cuticles or sidewalls. For $3? Worth it to test it, even if I didn't find it spectacular. Three coats.

Whatcha Polish The Green

A stunning emerald crelly loaded with gold flakies. Pics do not do this one justice at all. Two coats.

Essie Tied & Blue

A gorgeous royal blue shade with a smattering of red, blue, and silver glitter, but the base is perhaps too opaque... most of the sparkle is obscured. It's pretty, but a bit lackluster, IMHO. Two coats.

Morgan Taylor Not Your Average Damsel

Simply lovely lavender holo; I really can't get enough of their polishes. Two coats.

@RGbrown  Perfect rainbow!!

[RGbrown]

@ather 

Thanks so much! 🌈

[tjffc]

@RGbrown Very nice.  Love the color selection.

[RGbrown]

@tjffc 

Thanks so much! 💖

[CookieGirl1]

Ooh, I love the Morgan Taylor polish, @RGbrown .

[RGbrown]

@CookieGirl1 

While I adore indies for their use of unique pigments, flakies, etc to make truly one of a kind polishes, MT is still my favorite brand for the more basic/typical mainstream stuff. Their brushes are superb and the formula is just perfect, and this one is no exception! 💜

[itsfi]

Such a fun rainbow mani @RGbrown! 🌈  Oh that green! 💚 I've been searching for a couple of crellies to try out. Love that you got such a great finish with just two coats. Going to add that one to the list of contenders! 

[RGbrown]

@itsfi 

@itsfi 

Ahhhhh, the green was either HHC or PPU, sorry!! 🙃 It is stunning though! 

[itsfi]

It’s all good @RGbrown. I can see what other polishes the brand offers. I’m sure I will find a crelly that I’m looking for. I’ll certainly keep looking until I do. 🤪 

[PrettyPaint]

@RGbrown  So beautiful. That Whatcha is amazing!
