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! ❤️

Thank you! @itsfi  I think I'm going to save a lot of money by doing them myself.

That's great @AMK721! You save money and your nails look amazing!!!

I picked up some dip powder products late last year (eek, didn't realize it was that long ago; where does the time go?!) after seeing and being inspired by @SAlyFitz and your gorgeous manicures have been reminding me that I need revisit dip powders. You lovely BIC'ers (and your marvelous mani's) are going to be my motivation.

This is HD from Olive and June.  And while I usually don’t use any stones or stickers or any details I had these stickers sent from a cosmetic store with an order.  I don’t have a steady hand to do any detail work.   I gave these a try.  Applied 2 coats of top coat to secure them in place.  The white is 2 coats and was very creamy.  After the 2nd coat the nail looked well covered so I did not see the need for a 3rd .

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.
