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, what does it say that my initial thought was "oh good, there's a limit. That'll help rein it in." 😂🤣😂

This is tempting . . . 🛍

Going to look at the boxes in the corner that I still need to open; maybe that will help. Hahahaha!

@itsfi 

I built a cart last night, then remembered I've got a box of 23 from PolishPick coming in either today or tomorrow, and closed the tab real quick 😂 

[itsfi]

Hahaha @RGbrown! I think my first thought should have been “good on her for closing that window!” But what immediately ran thought my head was “oooh, I can’t wait to see what she ordered! 😍”

@itsfi 

The pic of shame is in the hauls thread now 😂

Not sure what happened to my index finger here; I didn't do much for a couple of hours after painting these last night, but then noticed it was wrinkled up after washing my face. I smoothed it back out as best I could, but it was fairly well set by that point and it was bedtime, so I didn't mess with it any further...and today is laundry day, so it'll be tonight before I get around to it. Ah well, just ignore it, the polish is pretty nonetheless 😋

Fiery Blaze from Live Love Polish is a gorgeous red crelly absolutely loaded with a rainbow of flakies. Three coats because it was a touch sheer, though not terribly fussy. The skinny brush can go jump in a lake though, I always make a much bigger mess with them than I do any other brush, and cleanup was tedious. 

It's a bit of a dull and dreary day, 48° and cloudy, and the lack of sun doesn't do this one justice, sadly. The rainbow of flakies gives off a really nice depth and shine IRL.

@RGbrown  This is a great colour!

[RGbrown]

Thank you @ather! 💖

[itsfi]

@RGbrown, the flakies look nice here so I can only imagine what they look like with a bit of sun. 👀 Love the shade of red on this one too! ♥️

[RGbrown]

@itsfi 

Thanks so much! It's such a pretty polish ❣️

A little skittle from the OPI Summer whoops, I mean Holiday collection 😋

My original opinion was that I could probably live without these, but then I went nuts gathering them anyways because I can't help myself 😂 And you know what? I was right, I could have lived without them. They are very pretty, yes, and I don't regret getting them (because that whole concept of "you'll never know if you don't try it" compels me to collect as many polishes as I can, to the point of ridiculousness), but they aren't that special, outside of being holo from a mainstream brand, which doesn't happen all too often. If you don't have holos in these colors, by all means, they are good and they are worth it, but if you do, there's no need for these. 

All were easy two coaters, a breeze to apply, and the holo is decently vivid in bright light. In lower lights, there are tiny silver microflakies that give off little pinpoint sparkles, perhaps attempting to add a second bit of interest, but they're pretty subtle, and not something that anyone but you will ever notice (and you'll have to look for them).

From pinkie to thumb:

Paint the Tinseltown Red, Mylar Dreams, My Color Wheel is Spinning, LED Marquee, Ready Fete Go

Full sun. I always complain about my camera not picking up everything, and that's the case here as well; the rainbows are decently prominent IRL. Perhaps not the strongest I've ever seen, but I've also seen much worse, so all in all, I'd consider these pretty good.

The silver flakies are much harder to pick up on camera; there's a hint of them near the tip and throughout the glare on the blue nail here, and IRL, they are easiest to see in the blue.

Thanks so much! ❣️

@RGbrown  Loving the skittles nails!!!

[RGbrown]

@ather 

Thanks so much! 💕

[Samtian]

@RGbrown Those are pretty!

[RGbrown]

@Samtian 

Thank you! They are great colors, even if it doesn't scream "holiday" to me 😋

[itsfi]

@RGbrown, a skittles mani is always fun! 😆 These are pretty colors, though I would have expected more sparkle for a holiday collection. I also wonder what OPI was aiming for with these shades versus more traditional holiday colors; maybe jewel tones?? All that said, these polishes do look good. 😍

[RGbrown]

They are definitely gorgeous colors 😍

I've got some of the MT and CG holiday sets on the way...hopefully they'll feel a little more sparkly and festive 🌟

Love those colors, @RGbrown!
