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! ❤️

@Cissy63 

Thank you so much! Hopefully we'll get my kitty back to good soon 🐱

[WinglessOne]

@RGbrown  I love that topper over periwinkle! And I can't help but chuckle about your angry feline burrito: brings back memories of trying to give my cat eye drops despite her strong objection—yet she had no problem with me frequently poking her with a needle for subcutaneous fluids sessions. 🤷‍♀️ I hope your cat's in better health now! 

[RGbrown]

@WinglessOne 

Thank you! I'm pretty over the moon with the periwinkle/topper combo, and was sad to have to take it off so quickly, but perhaps that means I just need to repeat it soon 💜

We've been battling this infection for 9 months now, and while I try and stay at least cautiously optimistic about every new drug, I'm also battling that hopeless feeling that these won't work either (I've got two different ones I'm giving him right now, and they are drugs 9 and 10 to date). The next option is likely going to be injectable, and he likes those even less than nose drops, so I am definitely keeping my fingers crossed that the drops do the job 🤞

I really like the periwinkle color, @RGbrown , which is surprising since it's not a color I'm normally drawn to.  I love the topper, especially on the periwinkle. 💖💖💖

[RGbrown]

@Titian06 

Ha, ditto! I generally feel the same about periwinkle, but this one really drew me in. This is one of the polishes Sally cancelled out of my last order, and I made sure to go in store to purchase it before the sale ended 💜

Orly is raising prices effective Jun 1 😞

Code MAY20 for 20% off current prices (excludes Lisa Frank) through the end of the month, so stock up if they have some of your faves!

Unrelated side note: Jun 1 is National Nail Polish Day 💅 Ulta normally does a GWP full of nail stuff ($40 nail items was the requirement last year), so start pondering some carts if you think you might be interested! I pulled the email from last year, and sadly, they didn't advertise anything actually being on sale in conjunction with the gwp, but the gwp is usually pretty nice! I'll have to go through my emails and see what other places offered too...will update this when I have a chance to sit down and do some digging 😊

ETA!

🔹Beyond Polish: b4g1 select polishes

🔹Butter: free full size Patent Shine 10x of your choice with $40 purchase

🔹Cupcake: 15% off sitewide (July 1-4 is usually their bday sale, 30% off sitewide, so skip this one!)

🔹Orly: 30% off sitewide

🔹Target: 20% off some brands, B3G1 for some others, plus a 10pc nail gwp at $40 that gave everyone serious trouble and didn't work for most folks 

🔹Zoya: no special promo, but they sent out a reminder that it was the last day of their 4/$25 sale

I wasn't on Sally's or Color Club's or Londontown's email lists this time last year, so I don't know what they may have done. I don't have an email from ILNP or Live Love Polish (now mooncat) that day that I can find. I've purchased from China Glaze direct at least a couple of times, but don't seem to have ever received an email from them (other than order confirmations and shipping notices)? Weird. I'm trying to think of any other polish email lists I might be on, but am drawing a blank...surprisingly not many considering how much I love polish lol.

@RGbrown have you seen anything on if Cirque or What's up Nails is going to be having a sale?  I've decided that I need Cirque Kushy before it disappears.

[RGbrown]

@CookieGirl1 

Cirque did 20% off for the first day of summer (Jun 23, ran through Jun 30) and then continued the 20% off for their bday sale Jul 1-8. I don't see an email for national polish day though.

WUN (how could I forget them??) also had no email on Polish Day, but has their semi-annual sale in early June (though I sincerely doubt Kushy would be one of the sale items). For July 4th, they had 20% off all polish last year, not sure if that'll be a repeat deal this year.

Watch Beyond Polish too...Kushy is currently OOS there, but could restock maybe? 

[CookieGirl1]

Thanks, @RGbrown!  I knew you'd have at least some kind of input on the possible sales 🙂

[RGbrown]

@CookieGirl1 

I'm always happy to help enable, especially when a deal is involved! 😂

[RGbrown]

Fun little find at TJM today...Deborah Lippmann for $4 and $4.99! 💕

Shades are Wow (chrome) and I'm Coming Out (charcoal with a smattering of pink and blue shimmer)

 

[Saradestin]

Wow! What a deal! Beautiful shades @RGbrown !!

[RGbrown]

@Saradestin 

@Cissy63 

Thanks so much! I love a great deal!💕

[Cissy63]

@RGbrown  That’s a good score! 

[itsfi]

What a score @RGbrown! 😍

[RGbrown]

@itsfi @Titian06 

Thanks y'all! I was thrilled to find these; I've got a few DL's and really like them, but not enough to pay $20 a bottle 🚫 I love a good deal though! 

[Titian06]

Congratulations on your find, @RGbrown ! 🥳

[itsfi]

This has been holding up pretty well. 😁 

All color polishes are OPI Infinite Shine.

Base color: Marigolden Hour is a warm, orange leaning yellow polish; took 3 coats for full opacity. It looks a lot more yellow in the bottle and photos.

Nail art: Done with a dotting tool. Alpine Snow for middle of flowers, and two different blue polishes for the petals, though it's almost impossible to know that just by the photos. The variances in the blue are a slightly easier to distinguish in person.

• Tile Art to Warm Your Heart is the lighter of the two colors, a mid-tone royal blue.
• Ring In the Blue Year, a deep cobalt blue, is the polish on the flower closest to the nail tip.

[itsfi]

@makeitup305, thank you! 😊 This was a fun one! 

[CookieGirl1]

Awww, @itsfi, those are just happy summer colors 💛
