Show Me Your Nails 2.0

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!

Re: Show Me Your Nails 2.0

@Saradestin mistakes?  Nope, can't see any 😉.  Seriously, though, I need to get better at nail art because y'all are inspiring me.

Re: Show Me Your Nails 2.0

@CookieGirl1 😘😘🤗🤗🤗

Re: Show Me Your Nails 2.0

@Saradestin Awww I absolutely adore this blue floral design. Such unique colors, fantastic job! 😍

Re: Show Me Your Nails 2.0

Thank you so much beautiful @QueenMarceline!! It came out very cool!

Re: Show Me Your Nails 2.0

@Saradestin Wow you did an amazing job! So beautiful and suited for the weather!

Re: Show Me Your Nails 2.0

Thank you so much @Mellmars1185 ! I need to buy myself some tools, because the way I do this is just too complicated 😅

Re: Show Me Your Nails 2.0

I am curious how you do it without the tools! @Saradestin 

Re: Show Me Your Nails 2.0

@Mellmars1185 Well, so you laugh a little, I am using as dotting tool an old pen that doesn’t work anymore 😅 I use the round tip as a little dotting tool, but it takes too much work because it is not a tool but, as we say in my country, a “chapuza” 😂

Re: Show Me Your Nails 2.0

@Saradestin That is a great idea! It proves to be working 🥰

Re: Show Me Your Nails 2.0

Hey y'all, didn't know what better place to ask this but in this lovely thread: has anyone tried Lights Lacquer (the brand of Kathleen Lights). I own a couple of her previous brands polishes from KL Polish and was wondering if anyone has tried out the new one? What are your thoughts? 🙂

@QueenMarceline 

Google "Kathleen lights racism" and see how you feel about a 2017 incident with her using the N word. She apologized, blah blah blah (and part of it was "I said n***a, not n****r", as if that matters 😳) but when the controversy resurfaced in 2021 during BLM movements and folks brought it up again, as best I can tell, she just deleted comments and refused to say anything. I certainly don't pretend to be a moral arbiter, and I don't seek out the ethics of every brand I purchase from, but when I hear about sketchy behavior, I generally try and avoid them these days. 

 

On the flip side, who am I to say she wasn't truly sorry about it, and now maybe she deserves to be given the benefit of the doubt? I dunno, it's a tough call. 

Re: Show Me Your Nails 2.0

@RGbrown  Ugh, I forgot all about that. She's never on my radar, so any news about her has always in one ear and quickly out the other. My brain never makes room to retain things about her. 😂 To be fair, I can say that about nearly all "beauty influencers" on YouTube and Instagram. Anyway, thanks for the reminder! 

Re: Show Me Your Nails 2.0

@WinglessOne @QueenMarceline 

Ha, yeah, I don't follow YT or IG influencers at all either, but I pick up bits and pieces of controversy in the polish world over on Reddit from time to time. I think this one was mentioned again recently somewhere over there which had it fresh in my mind, and is the only reason I even thought to bring it up!

Re: Show Me Your Nails 2.0

@RGbrown Oh wow, didn't know about any of that. Admittedly, I've been off the YT beauty sphere for quite some time and haven't seen anything regarding her or by her for around 5 years at least. My friend who was in nail school really loved these polishes and recommended I pick some up a few years back and I did. Thanks for bringing it to my attention. 

Re: Show Me Your Nails 2.0

I haven’t tried them so, sadly, I can’t be of any help @QueenMarceline 

Re: Show Me Your Nails 2.0

@QueenMarceline  I haven't tried any of her branded polishes, but now I'm curious. What did you think of the KL Polish shades you tried? 

Re: Show Me Your Nails 2.0

@WinglessOne I actually really liked them, the applicator was super nice. 

Re: Show Me Your Nails 2.0

It's been a rough couple of days. LuCkiLy this LoVeLy polish is a small bRiGhT sPoT in the middle of animal tRoUbLeS

 

(Flippant much? Nope, just emotionally drained and thoroughly exhausted, coupled with a terrible sense of humor...sorry y'all)

 

Spent a good chunk of yesterday at the vet with my cat (still sick, but we have new meds now, fingers crossed), and I managed to carve out a little time last night after we got home to do a quick one-polish mani as a pick me up.

I rarely take an indoor shot because my fluorescent lights throw off colors too often, but I could not resist snapping a pic of the shift on this one as soon as I got done.

I was looking forward to a quiet day today, get some office work done, maybe go out for some errands and/or shopping, until I saw one of my sister's dogs have a seizure, so I've spent the day watching her closely, finally ending up at the emergency clinic, where she was admitted for observation and (hopefully) stabilization (sis is on vacation right now, so I'm the surrogate parent for now, and this sucks). 

 

Daylight, shade I think? I don't recall it being bright and sunny while I was waiting for word at the clinic...I was just killing time, trying not to think too hard about anything for a minute (which is what I'm trying to do now too, coincidentally).

 

The polish is Alchemy Lacquer The Lion Witch, a stunning purple-red-orange multichrome base with green-blue-purple shifting flakes. This one definitely falls into my faves of all time list, all the best colors, all in one! Like many multichromes, the base is a bit sheer, so it took three coats for opacity but they were easy.

 

If you have pets, give them a hug tonight. We get far too little time with them before it's over ❣️🐾

Re: Show Me Your Nails 2.0

@RGbrown  Oh no. Is your sis pup ok??? Poor thing.  I really love this set it’s so beautiful! 

Re: Show Me Your Nails 2.0

@ather 

She's better (-ish). Sis is home and got her to a regular vet today, and has a better idea of what to expect and how to treat it. Sudden onset of seizures in an older dog (she's 10) is never a good thing (cancer is apparently a top cause, though there are lots of others, I'm sure), but the goal for now is to control them as much as possible and make sure she's stable and happy before starting down the path to diagnosing any underlying issues. The vet said there's no sign of cancer in her chest or abdomen, so in a way that's good, but it also means there's no indication yet as to what caused these in the first place. The seizures are mostly controlled now, though she had a couple last night and today, quite possibly exacerbated by the excitement of her mom getting home yesterday 😞
