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 Thank you for information!

A bit of an unconventional mix, except maybe around Halloween or for Clemson fans, but I thought they'd be fun together 💜🧡

Orange: Orly Misfit Mentality

Why oh why is neon orange so hard to photograph accurately? This is a flaming bright, neon orange highlighter shade that my camera wants to dull down to a bright peach. Neither pic really even comes close to the eye-searing glow this one gives off 😅 Three moderately grouchy coats, this one was streaky and didn't self level very well. It's also apparently quite old, as it's got a skinny, round brush instead of Orly's normal flat, rounded one, and that didn't help at all...perhaps a better brush would have saved me at least a bit of the trouble. 

Purple: Morgan Taylor You Glare, I Glow

Neons can be tricky to formulate, so I was ready for this to be a less than perfect MT polish, but nope, perfect as always 💜 Easy two coater, no streaks or bare spots to fix up. 

Accent nails are Morgan Taylor Lots of Dots, multi-colored dots in a clear base. Pretty aptly named, and a cute little topper for the funfetti fan club 😋

They say that using a white background can help balance colors, getting them more accurate. It did help a bit...my usual outdoor pics came out much paler than this, but this is still nowhere close to how bright the orange is IRL.

Dialing down the light via camera adjustments helped some too, in a somewhat different manner, but it's still off a good bit.

This mani would be perfect for Halloween, @RGbrown !  And those dots are so much fun!!!

[RGbrown]

Thank you @Tamara76! 💜🧡

You guys are just so talented @RGbrown and all. I just love to come on here and see your creations! So fun. 

[RGbrown]

@Sunnysmom 

No talent here, just slapping on colors 🤣 Thanks so much!

[Sunnysmom]

Nope @RGbrown , not buying it! 🥰😂

@RGbrown  Loving the colour combo!!

[RGbrown]

Thank you @ather! 💜🧡

[tjffc]

@RGbrown I love the two shades together.  The designs are cute as well.

@tjffc 

Thanks so much! 🧡💜

@RGbrown, this is a fun pairing! Love the topper mixed in there too! It brings it all together! 🧡💜 Clemson fans just need a tiger paw print on one of the nails! 

[RGbrown]

@itsfi 

Thanks so much! The topper was a fun addition, even if I decided I disliked the color combo 😋

[itsfi]

Hahaha! I did wonder, is @RGbrown a Clemson fan?

[RGbrown]

@itsfi 

Nope, not really! My ex was though, so I always root for them to do ok, as long as they aren't playing Auburn 😅 I'm not a big sports fan either way though.

@RGbrown, if nail art were a sport, you'd take the gold! Deservedly so! 🙌🏅🥇

Ummm, not even close. Have you seen nails on IG? 🤣 I wouldn't even make it to qualifiers for the team 🤣

[itsfi]

@RGbrown, I stand by my previous post!
