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! ❤️

Probably the BKL one. It’s such complex polish that was just beautiful to look at. Unlike a lot of that brand’s polishes it was opaque in just 2 coats and it wore like iron–well over a week with no chips and not much tip wear under INM topcoat. I did love the sparkliness of the Shleee one though.

@barstr7 Ugggh, I'm jealous of your BKL!  I missed out on that one and I'm kicking myself.

[barstr7]

Yeah, PPU’s short buying window sometimes bums me out. They really make it hard not to spend every last cent on nail polish! 

[Mellmars1185]

@barstr7 All beautiful shades! I can't pick which one I like best. Also I really like your nail shape!

[barstr7]

I’m naturally pretty clumsy and rough on my hands. I got sick of breaking off corners on square nails when I bang them on stuff. The rounded shape seems to work much better for me. Bit of a pain to file them though.

@barstr7  I struggle with square nails as well. I can never keep my nails long with square. I tend to do better with round also.

@barstr7 - Gorgeous colors! 😍  I particularly like Bees Knees! 💖💖💖

[QueenMarceline]

@barstr7 Wow, all such stunning colors I totally agree with @RGbrown here. It's so hard picking a favorite 🙂 I think I have to go with the Bees Knees color, just stunning!

[RGbrown]

@barstr7 

Those are all gorgeous! I'm having a hard time picking a fave here (not a terrible thing lol), but I think it might be the MLF Lacquer...that contrasting shimmer really stands out 💙💜

[barstr7]

I only have 2 from MLF but they always manage to get a lovely depth to their polishes. That one actually had a cool green duochrome flash that was impossible to get a good photo of. Unfortunately, from the looks of their Instagram, they seem to have closed.

I finally got to finish up laying new flooring for my sis yesterday, so I am pausing my "colors I keep ignoring" sets for a second to celebrate with some purple holos ✨💜

From pinky to thumb:

• Colors by Llarowe Noble (Color4Nails exclusive)
• Turtle Tootsie Hatchling 22
• Live Love Polish Admit One
• Hearts & Promises Bustin' Down The Door
• Turtle Tootsie Hatchling 12

All were easy two coaters. The lightest, Hatchling 12, maybe could have used a third, it's a touch sheer in direct light, but it's not so see-through that it bothers me. All of these are just fantastic, with a variety of shimmers or flakies that really make each one unique. Similar but different 😋

I was gonna say I thought all but one would be unavailable by now, but no, looks like 4 of them are still available. H&P still has Bustin' Down The Door (it was a Black Friday exclusive), and they still have several listings for their old Turtle Tootsie Hatchling shades ($3!) as well. CbL came from Color4Nails ($5!). The only one truly gone is LLP, and I don't see an equivalent in the new Mooncat brand.

@RGbrown  crazy the difference in colour in natural light and flash. So pretty tho. 

[RGbrown]

[itsfi]

*squee purple!!! I'll take one of each. These are gorgeous, @RGbrown! 💜💜💜💜💜

[RGbrown]

@itsfi 

Thanks so much! All are definitely worthy of purchase if you are so inclined 💜✨

[itsfi]

@RGbrown, oh, I am so inclined. 😍💜 But I just saw a box from Black Dahlia Lacquers that is far larger than I expected for the mystery bag I ordered. 😲  I'm bookmarking your post and will pick up a couple of these polishes over time. 💅

@itsfi 

Squee!! A mystery bag! Can't wait to see what all you got! 😍
