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! ❤️

I can’t believe it either @WinglessOne ! It has never happened to me! And I wash, clean, dig.... I am applying a bunch of coats though... at least a total of 5. That is probably helping as well

@Saradestin Beautiful tropical vibes here! 

[Saradestin]

Thank you @Mellmars1185 ! These are very summery colors! ❤️❤️

@Saradestin 

😍😍😍

That orange is the perfect embodiment of mac & cheese chic and I love it! Also totally digging the coral phase of Shine Bright Like A Waffle (that name cracks me up 😅). Stunning all around! 

[Saradestin]

Thank you @RGbrown ! The coral is really beautiful! With these hot days it is showing up a lot 😁. I love it!

Love the colors you bought, @Saradestin !  Your mani is awesome--I love the orange! 🧡🧡🧡

[Saradestin]

They are all so beautiful @Titian06 ! (well, the black is just plain black, and the topcoats are topcoats, but the rest are gorgeous!) And yes, the orange is amazing! 🧡🧡🧡

I’ve been playing around with some nail stencil stickers I bought on Amazon - I feel like it’s just fun to have something a little interesting

Such a fun manicure @Kim888 ! When I use zigzag nail stickers my nails never look as good as yours! Congratulations on mastering the clean and well defined zigzag pattern! ❤️

[Kim888]

thank you @keana1 - it totally took me a few tries haha 

[WinglessOne]

@Kim888  Definitely fun! I love everything about your mani. 💖

Couple quick updates related to my Zoya orders: 

When polish chipped off my right thumb today, I slapped on a couple coats of Butter London Strawberry Rhubarb Jelly Preserve and topped it with Zoya Monet, one of the new-to-me 70% off polishes I bought. I assume the iridescent glitter in Monet is identical or similar to the glitter used in Zoya’s jelly holos. It’s definitely not rainbow holo glitter, but there are enough sparkly colors of glitter to give kind of a scattered holo effect. Kind of. (My other 9 nails are still full of LynB; I only changed out this thumb.) 

I used Zoya’s polish thinner (Renew Nail Polish Rejuvenator) to thin Glisten & Glow before using that top coat on my thumb. 2 drops worked great for a half full bottle. Here’s the thinner's INCI list, since Zoya doesn’t provide ingredients on their site (aside from what’s not in their products 🙄) : 

Remembering @RGbrown's note about heptane, I’ll use this thinner only for non-glitter/flake products. That means it’ll be used for top coats, base coats, creams, and plain jellies. Eh, also magnetic polishes that don't also contain plastic glitter/confetti/flakes. Sure, I could probably safely use it in a shimmer polish made of glass or metal glitter particles but c'mon, I won't always remember which ones those are vs. plastic glitter polishes. 😂 It’s easier for me to blanket-exclude all glitters and flakes from this thinner. It'll still get plenty of good use, especially in top coats and creams.

@WinglessOne 

Gorgeous! It's nice to see Monet in action, and I'm gonna have to go figure why I don't have it yet 🤔😂

[WinglessOne]

Thank you @RGbrown  @Saradestin  @Skunk12puzzola ! 

[Saradestin]

That one looks so cool @WinglessOne !! It will look gorgeous on top of colored bases as well! 😃 I received my first Zoya order yesterday and I am amazed at how beautiful they all look! My second order is still pending (it says that there are out of stock items) It will give me time to use a few of these new ones in the meantime! 😁
