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! ❤️

@makeitup305. Phoenix is one of the polishes I'm debating over - it looks very pretty; so many to choose from.

I may have just spent some time creating reviews on ILNP's site to earn a few extra points 😁 I don't typically care for what I consider "paid reviews", but hey, that's a few more dollars towards polish, so I'll get over my disdain 🤣

I've narrowed mine down to 6, should be about $57 after the discount, just enough to get free shipping ✨

 

[Saradestin]

@RGbrown So beautiful! Looking forward to seeing what you create with them!

[itsfi]

@RGbrown, I’m impressed you narrowed it down to 6! Loving your choices too! 😍 I have Fully Loaded (the description sounds fabulous!) in the cart, with a host of others. Need to go through my stash in the next few days to cross reference what I have. 💅🏼 I can see myself picking up shades I already own. 😆

@itsfi 

I love that they gave us a heads up, but I also hate that I have to wait...now there's time for me keep browsing and add more back in 🤣

[itsfi]

Hahaha! I really understand what you mean @RGbrown! I started a cart 🛒  and told myself I need to hit “pause” and just build out the cart the night before - the last ILNP sale I took part in started with 6 polishes and I added at least 2 more every time I went back to “whittle it down”. 😂

No picture to post... yet. I'm overdue for a nail appointment so I'll be posting something soon. I'm thinking of what color I want for my nails this time. My initial thoughts are a bright hot pink 💅  I've had on a beautiful navy shade for the last few weeks so now I want to switch to a bright color.

Do any of you change the color of your nail polish to go along with the seasons? 🌺 🌳 🍁 ❄️

[itsfi]

@AMK721, a bright hot pink manicure sounds lovely any time of the year. 😍 Looking forward to seeing what you decide.

I will pick a polish based on the season from time to time, but I don’t always do that. I usually have a handful of shades all with the same few color families that I reach for. Seasonal colors usually come into the mix when I want to do some nail art and it usually coincides with a holiday more than a season.

@AMK721  I'm not a seasonal makeup/nail polish person. I might theme my manicures for a specific holiday or event, but not for any specific season. My motto for both nails and makeup is "all of the colors, all of the time." 

A bright hot pink sounds fun, regardless of season! 🙂 

[AMK721]

@WinglessOne  I love your motto! It's a good one that I think we all should adopt 😁

[Titian06]

@AMK721 - They're your nails--do what you want! 🥳 It's never the wrong time of year for any color! 💖💖💖

[AMK721]

Right on ✊ @Titian06 

[Saradestin]

Oh yes I do @AMK721 ! I love to match everything to the seasons but sometimes I need to give it a break because three months of similar shades in a row is too much! 😂

[AMK721]

OMG I totally agree @Saradestin  I usually go with darker colors during the winter (except at the holidays). And that's kinda why I want to go bright right now - so tired of the dark shades.

[RGbrown]

@AMK721 

YAY for new nails! Hot pink is an awesome way to kick off the (hopeful) return of brighter days and warmer weather!

I don't really consider myself a "seasonal" person for the most part...I'll save my dustier or more muted fall-ish type stuff for fall, but other than that, I'm all about brights and summer stuff year 'round 😎

[AMK721]

@RGbrown  yes, yes yes I'm in the Midwest so the winter season seems to go on and on and on. I'm over it LOL. Time for spring!

[RGbrown]

It's here folks, the end of the polishes I've neglected for entirely too long! Of course while playing catch up, the newest stuff was aging too, so it's not really over 😂 But, unless I've overlooked a polish here or there (which is entirely possible), everything I've got left to use at least once is from around Black Friday or newer! 

Right hand: red yellow green...traffic lights, I guess?🚦😋

Zoya Logan

Deep green with gold shimmer, this would be an excellent holiday shade. Super duper easy two coater with a wide brush.

Enchanted Polish Sunshine and Rainbows

Yellow holo, and quite possibly the easiest yellow I've ever used...I guess the holo overrides the typical fussiness of yellow? Easy two coater. The rainbow itself isn't very bright, it seems muted, maybe pastel, but I can see where it would be quite easily, as in I can see the lines where the color changes...the colors just don't show well against the yellow background or something. Not sure that makes sense (even to me, and I know what I'm trying to say lol).

Revlon Get Lucky

Warm red, just a hint of orange in it. Easy two coater, though it's more of a crelly than a full cream, and I've still got a bit of visible nail line. No streaks at all though, and the formula reminds me a lot of Ciate Snatch, one of my favorite reds ❣️

Left hand: this started off as another version of red, yellow, (bluish) green, and morphed into a rainbow 🌈

China Glaze Yule Jewels

An orange-leaning red filled with lighter and brighter shimmer (pink and/or gold maybe?), and I'm pretty smitten with it. This one was a touch sheer, so I did three coats for full opacity, but they were easy peasy.

Pacifica Buena Fortuna

Gold shimmer that works well on its own (3 coats on middle) or as a topper (1 coat on index and ring). I see a greenish tilt every now and again, and a darker bronze likes to hide around the edges. 

Enchanted Polish Galactic

Green-leaning teal base loaded with blue and gold holo glitter. Super easy two coater, and the gold topper really punched up the green, leaving me with an unexpected rainbow.

@RGbrown  great colors and your application is flawless 😍

[RGbrown]

@AMK721 

Thanks so much!! 💖

[Saradestin]

@RGbrown another gorgeous display of color and creativity! I am anxious to see the new “aging” acquisitions in action!

[RGbrown]

@Saradestin 

Thanks so much! I'm excited to move on to some of my newer stuff! ❣️
