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! ❤️

So cute @Cissy63! You did a great job with your nail art; love the hearts ❣️ They look perfect against the white polish.

Thank you so very much @itsfi 🥰

Pacifica Fame: bright watermelon pink, crelly formula, super juicy looking 🍉 Three coats because it was a bit sheer, but it wasn't fussy. 

Morgan Taylor Water Baby: pale baby blue, a bit thin, had a couple of flooded cuticles to clean up, and this was a more challenging three coater that needed a careful touch to blot out bald spots. 

Phoenix Indie Polish That's What I Do: clear base loaded with a myriad of iridescent flakies and a sprinkle of reflective glitter. In artificial light last night, it looked mostly silver with some pops of green and purple, but in the (overcast) daylight today, I see lots of pink, orange and blue as well. Three coats on my thumb, and it's still sheer, but I had a feeling it would be like that going into it and am not bothered by this...the shifts distract from the nail line I don't generally like showing off lol (though I wouldn't use it on one of my yellower nails without doing some sort of blurring base first).

Flash to pick up a bit of that reflective goodness ✨

that flakie polish is calling to me @RGbrown !

[RGbrown]

@makeitup305 

Thank you! It is gloriously sparkly 🌟

[Cissy63]

These colors look wonderful.  Loving both the pink and water blue.  The highlights are so pretty too @RGbrown 🎉🎉

[RGbrown]

@Cissy63 

Thanks so much! I'm really pleased with how this one came out ✨✨

[Saradestin]

So beautiful @RGbrown!!! And that sparkle! 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

[RGbrown]

@Saradestin 

Sparkle sparkle sparkle, gimme da sparkle! ✨😅 Thanks so much! 

[itsfi]

Yes, yes, and yes! I love all three colors here @RGbrown! That watermelon pink jelly is summertime fun! 🍉 The flash really picked up the sparkly goodness in That's What I Do - am loving the green flakies coming through that polish!

Have you had much experience with Phoenix Indie Polish? There are a few shades from the brand that have caught my eye and am trying to figure out what to keep in baskets and which to move to wish list items in prep for my next polish haul.

@itsfi 

Thank you!

Phoenix = Esmaltes da Kelly!

There have been soooo many indie brands changing their name lately, and I'm kinda over it. Wish they'd cut that out 🤨 I'm about at the point where I assume a brand I've never heard of is actually just a new name for an established brand. I feel like I need to make a list for reference so I can stop wasting time googling every time I want to remind myself who is who anymore. 

(And I think I've only got one other EdK, but it's my all time favorite topper in the gold family ✨)

[itsfi]

@RGbrown, thank you! Ohhh, Phoenix is the new EdK?! Okay, well, I have used EdK polishes. That helps - thank you again. I'm with you - so many, too many name changes. It would be easier to keep track of if they didn't all happen around the same time.

@RGbrown  Oooo such a fun mani!! 

[RGbrown]

Thank you @ather! ❣️✨

[Mellmars1185]

@RGbrown Very beautiful 😍

[RGbrown]

@Mellmars1185 

Thanks so much! ✨💕

[Titian06]

Great colors, @RGbrown !  I love the watermelon color, and the topper looks great on both colors and by itself. 🍉🎉

[RGbrown]

@Titian06 

Thanks so much! I had planned to so some art, maybe stripes or dots or something, but decided I didn't have time...but even without it, I'm loving this combo and how it turned out! ✨

[Saradestin]

And, after a week since @RGbrown alerted us of the great sale at Lyn B, here are my goodies!! 🎉🎉🎉

They made a mistake and sent me the wrong nail polish (One Ah Ha Ha instead of Irresistible Onion) The rest of the order was correct. I alerted customer service and they replied immediately with a solution. Such a great service! 

All the shades are so beautiful!! I anxious to try the thermal polishes as these are my first ones. 😃😃😃

Here you can see the names (hopefully)

This picture was taken with flash.

can't wait to see all of these @Saradestin !
