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! ❤️

Aw, thanks @Saradestin ! I'm trying to convince myself to strip down just my right ring nail tonight and keep the other 9 as is for another day or 2. 🙂 

And heh, my polish collection's probably just 1/4 of @RGbrown's, if even that much. 😉  It's fun to see how much of each color I really have. I knew I didn't have a ton of yellows (distinguishing them from golds), but the lack of reds surprised me. I do have plenty of berries and not-quite-red rosy/red violet shades, though. Lots of purples. More greens than I thought. Fewer oranges than I expected. More silvers and golds than necessary. 😄 But the dominant color family is blue. That didn't surprise me, but the number of blues kinda did. And some shades are near-dupes. Swatching everything has certainly been eye opening.

1395 😱

Purple is my biggest offender...I had to break down my shimmer/glitter ones by cooler and warmer ones and separate them into two envelopes. Pinks and blues are getting close to overwhelming the envelopes they're currently occupying, but I've still got some time on figuring out how to divide those. Meanwhile orange and yellow occupy one envelope together because I don't have all that many, especially yellows (though I've been trying hard to rectify that lately 😋)

Meant to stick this pic in my other post instead of the one with an envelope on top, so I'll just stick it here instead...here are all of the swatch sticks for my used polishes 😲

You'd think this would help me stop buying so many, especially when I discover dupes as I file them away, but nope, it doesn't really 😅

[WinglessOne]

@RGbrown  Impressive! Also, this makes me feel better about my lipstick hoard. 🤣 I'm not surprised you have more purples than anything else. 💜 

[RGbrown]

@WinglessOne 

Ah lipstick, my other "I have way too much" collection (ok, eyeshadow too lol). I almost got motivated to go through them all a few months ago and declutter a bunch, and I was looking forward to doing it, but then my motivation just went poof and I never got around to it 🤣 One day though! 

[WinglessOne]

@RGbrown  I've been trying to do a 2nd major lipstick declutter for 2 years. 🤣 It... hasn’t gone well. 

I'm not at the eyeshadow declutter stage yet; eh, I don’t have that much... it helps that several palettes are minis or quads. And I'm not about to declutter any Motherships. I could probably purge some singles, though. I'm confident I have far less eyeshadow than nail polish, which itself is far less than the amount of lipstick I have. This reminds me to take another pass through all my eyeliners though. 

[Saradestin]

Wow @RGbrown ! I only have one word to describe your collection: IMPRESSIVE! 😍😍😍😍😍😍 And.... there is always room for a new polish here and there 😁

[RGbrown]

@Saradestin 

A new polish here or there isn't the trouble...I'm more likely to buy 20+ at a time 🤣

[Saradestin]

Well, relatively speaking, 20 at a time is not that much @RGbrown 😁

[Titian06]

OMGosh, @RGbrown !  This is amazing! 😯  Of course my eyes went immediately to the purples at the bottom right! 😂💜

[RGbrown]

@Titian06 

I go through periods where I force myself to stop buying purples, but I don't think it'll ever not be the largest color in my collection 😅💜

[Saradestin]

I can understand @WinglessOne! When you have so many polishes, you need serious organizational skills or you would get lost.

[Titian06]

Hi, all!  I polished my nails last night for the first time in a good 7 years.  Thank you to @RGbrown for gifting to me her extra bottle of OPI 7th & Flower along with a couple of other colors (so it wouldn't be lonely in its new home 🤣 ).

 

[CookieGirl1]

That's a great color on you, @Titian06!  Woohoo to painting your nails 🙂

[Titian06]

Thanks, @CookieGirl1 ! 💖💖💖  I have to admit, I can't stop looking at my nails! 😄

[CookieGirl1]

@Titian06 I can see why 🙂

[ather]

@Titian06  This is a beautiful colour!!! Happy you are painting nails again!!

[Titian06]

Thanks, @ather ! 💖💖💖  I didn't realize I missed it! 😄

[RGbrown]

@Titian06 

Squee!!! It looks amazing!!! Maybe this will be a new addiction? 😋 I hope you enjoy them either way, even if it's only a passing fling 💖

[Titian06]

I'm in love, @RGbrown !  I don't remember why I stopped, but my love for wearing polish is still there. 😊  I don't think it'll be an obsession, but it won't be a passing fancy either!

[CynthieLu]

That colour really suits you @Titian06 those nails look fab! 🦄🤩

[Titian06]

Thanks, @CynthieLu ! 💜❤💜❤
