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 I agree with the others--that bronze is gorgeous!

[RGbrown]

Thank you @CookieGirl1! ✨

[ather]

@RGbrown  that bronze colour is perfection!!!

[RGbrown]

@ather 

Thanks so much! ✨

@RGbrown, I had the same thought about That’s So Monroe as for stamping. I think it would be stunning. You have a lot of fabulous browns in your collection. I don’t usually gravitate towards that color but this MT bronze is really keeping my attention! 🤎

[RGbrown]

@itsfi 

Ahhhhh, I totally forgot to go back and try it for stamping 🤦‍♀️ Will have to do that soon!

[Samtian]

@RGbrown Ooh I love that Monroe shade!!

[RGbrown]

@Samtian 

Thanks so much! ✨

Moving back into fall territory again 🍂

Butter London Brick Lane

A deep pumpkin/bright rust shade that's really rich and vivid. It's got some subtle gold shimmer that I can see if I look closely, but isn't super noticeable. Most every time I pull out a Butter polish, I am instantly reminded of why I love the brand so much...super easy application, no streaks or fussiness, an easy two coater (and this is an old bottle with a skinny brush, no less!). This is their old formula, the "regular" line before they discontinued it for the Patent 10x stuff, and I hate that it's gone; they always had such wonderful formulas and shades. 

Butter London Brown Sugar

I wasn't sure if I'd like this one or not before I put it on, and the name wasn't helping overcome my bias against brown lol, but I have to say, this is a fascinating mix of color and sparkle that I am absolutely smitten with. The base is a sheer deep plum, and it is loaded with a deep gold (perhaps copper?) shimmer. It's also got just a pinch of small light pink glitter. As I move through the light, I also see light pink shimmer pop up, though I can't tell if it's the copper shimmer shifting or if there's a separate pink shimmer added. The overall effect from a distance is indeed a brown shade, but up close, this is simply stunning to stare at and study 😍 Two coats

@RGbrown Ooh this is an amazing combo!

[RGbrown]

@Samtian 

Thanks so much! 🧡

[itsfi]

@RGbrown, this sparkly brown and pumpkin combo is pretty. I think I have 2 brown polishes but Brown Sugar is really making me wonder if I need to add it to the brown camp. Those cozy fall vibes are coming through with Brick Lane! 🧡🤎

[RGbrown]

@itsfi 

Thanks so much! Unfortunately, it looks like Brown Sugar is discontinued, and heck, I can't even find a listing on eBay 😓 

[itsfi]

That’s probably better for me @RGbrown! 😂

[ather]

@RGbrown  Loving this combo. I feel like brown is super popular right now. I ordered one 😬

[RGbrown]

@ather 

Thanks so much, and I hope you love what you picked out!

I have butter London Sloane Ranger, a grey-ish, khaki, olive green shade on my index and pinky fingers. It leans a smidge more grey in real life. This applied easily, 2 coats. OPI Infinite Shine Olive for Green on the rest of the fingers. It's a deep olive green that went on more sheer than I expected; 3 coats.

[ather]

@itsfi  Super surprised the green was thin. 

[itsfi]

Me too @ather. The first coat was super thin.  Was not expecting it at all. The second was better but there were parts of the nail where the color looked a bit thin, but all good with a third coat. I may leave the bottle open for a couple of hours later tonight to see if that thickens it just a bit.

[RGbrown]

@itsfi 

What timing...I pulled out a couple of Butter polishes myself last night, and it's always a reminder of how much I love them 💚 I love your mix of greens! 

[itsfi]

Yay! butter London polishes are getting some well earned love. ♥️ I only have a few polishes from the brand but you’re absolutely right @RGbrown, they are great. I really need to look into them more often. Said by the same person who said she needed to hit “pause” on picking up any more polishes! 😂
