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! ❤️

Lovely as well @RGbrown 

[RGbrown]

@makeitup305 

Thanks so much! 💕

Wow, these skittle creams look fantastic @RGbrown! ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜💖 That topper really goes so well with all the shades. I’m particularly drawn toward that teal blue; very pretty. 

[RGbrown]

@itsfi 

Thank you! The teal is particularly pretty; it's a touch deeper IRL (as is the red), and is bright enough to work with a summer palette while having just that touch of fall smoke that works into the cooler months equally well 💙

[RGbrown]

I dunno if anyone else went as haywire as I did with the BF polish sales, but I have an embarrassingly large number* of bottles headed my way soon, and am feeling the urge to use up as many as I can before they start arriving. What does that mean? It's time for a few skittles manis 😬😂

Morgan Taylor has the bulkiest bottles, and I have plenty to make several cohesive looks, so here we go, it's an MT shimmer rainbow 🌈

From pinky to thumb

Best Dressed: gorgeous cranberry red, strong gold shimmer in the bottle that doesn't show directly on the nail, but really serves to brighten this shade up and help it glow. Easy two coater.

Sunrise in the City: stunning copper to pink duochrome that I am head over heels for. The sheerest of the bunch, this one took three coats, but they weren't fussy.

Gunter's Get Down: (from the current holiday collection) super bright yellow, almost orange leaning, gold shimmer. I waffled on ordering this one because gold isn't really my favorite, but it's a fun shade and while I likely wouldn't wear it plain, it'll be a great accent shade from time to time. Easy two coater.

Miss Crawly Chic: (also from the current holiday collection) vivid emerald green loaded with gold shimmer. Lovely color, easy two coater.

If Looks Could Thrill: when I say purple is my favorite color, this is the exact shade I have in mind. It's a bold and bright jewel toned amethyst, balanced perfectly between blue and red. Stunning, and another easy two coater.

A few pics, because I couldn't seem to get all the right colors in just one 😋

Shade shows off the orange pretty well, but turns the purple bluer than it looks to my eye

Sun helps light up the shimmer in all of them and shows the purple closer to real life, but washes out the orange a bit

Here you can see some of the pink shift on my ring finger

*45 😣

OMG such an awesome shimmery rainbow! It definitely reminded me of skittles when you mentioned it but I first though of multicolored Christmas lights. The feel super festive. 

[RGbrown]

@makeitup305 

Ahhhh, yes, I see that now too! Nostalgia is now setting in for the old school, fat bulb lights we had when I was a kid 💖

[itsfi]

I always love your skittles manicures @RGbrown! 🌈 These are all pretty but my eyes of course zoom in on that red! 😍 

Your BF haul sounds amazing! 🛍 About the 45, my first thought was, “it’s all good, you stayed under 50.” It’s a rationale only those on BIC can truly appreciate. 😉 

[RGbrown]

@itsfi 

This red is stunning! I had hoped, based on how it looks in the bottle, that it might have a touch of a golden shift IRL. Sadly it doesn't, but it's such a fantastic color nonetheless 💖

Just found Butter on GMA deals (50%+ off, free shipping) and ordered one more...I guess I might be able to stay under 50 by the end of the day, but it may be close 😝

[itsfi]

@RGbrown, 50 polishes per site. Not in total. Silly, RGBrown! We don’t aggregate purchases when it comes to counting these things!! 🤪☺️😂

[missjeanie]

@itsfi I always love your math!!  

[itsfi]

Hahaha @missjeanie! It’s an outside the box approach to math.

[RGbrown]

@itsfi 

Per site? 😲 Well, I am way behind then 🤣

[makeitup305]

I’m wearing Static Nails Mood with OPI All A Twitter With Glitter. I didn’t do a great job today, I was rushing and they look a little thick in person but hopefully they’ll last me the week. 

[itsfi]

Beautiful @makeitup305. 💅🏼  I love the iridescence in that OPI polish; so pretty! 

[makeitup305]

@itsfi It’s a great holiday shade from OPI I wish they did more toppers like this!

[RGbrown]

@makeitup305 

They look great! Soft and serene with a touch of sparkle is always a good choice! ✨

[makeitup305]

Thanks @RGbrown , I’m practicing for that ILNP order haha it shipped today! And it’s in Las Vegas so it should be here Wednesday or Thursday! So excited!

[RGbrown]

@makeitup305 

Ahhhh yay, glad yours will be there soon! I'm on the other side of the country, and tracking on mine hasn't updated from "pending acceptance" yet, so it'll probably take a few days longer to get to me. Hopefully soon though!!

PolishPick sale info

10% off all collections released this year, code BF2021. I'm kinda relieved that's it, as while there are a couple of polishes I wouldn't mind grabbing, I've gotten most everything from this year that I wanted already. I wound up with a cart of four and decided not to bother 😋 But! Considering PP is already half off retail, another 10% is a cute little bonus, so if there's anything you've been thinking about from OPI/MT/CG/Essie, this is a good time to grab it!

 

And a quick roundup of a few other deals I can think of while I'm here, because why not? 😋
