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! ❤️

@WinglessOne  Wow. 300!! I have maybe 100. When I was swatching mine my husband was like and how much is each bottle. I told him I don’t need his negativity in my life. He got the hint 😂

[WinglessOne]

@ather  🤣 

100 is impressive! It took me decades to accumulate around 80 polishes; I discovered that while pulling together all my old (pre-covid) bottles, mostly Essies and Revlons. Now I wonder how much nail polish the average person (who regularly paints their nails) has. 

[ather]

@WinglessOne  I agree. I have a friend who only has a few. But I like to do different colours all the time. I usually change mine once a week!! I wonder how much people normally have also! 

[Titian06]

@ather @WinglessOne - @itsfi  and @RGbrown were discussing the large increases in their collections this year the other day, and I jokingly said my collection increased from zero to 30 in one month!  I, however, don't consider myself the "normal" person due to this thread! 🤣  I already have more nail polish now than I did years ago before I stopped and tossed everything.  So eventhough my 30 is a drop in the bucket compared to 100, 300, or 1400, it's still a lot for a normally conservative person like me! 🤭

[itsfi]

@Titian06, zero to 30 is a great ramp up! 😆 And also a good warm up for more to come? Heehee! 😉 

[ather]

@Titian06  I think 30 is doing great! I have been only doing my own nails for 4.5 years now. I use to go get manicures all the time but when we got posted to a small town and I was on Mat leave I thought I should cut some of my expenses!! So I have been building my stash for a while! For the longest time I only had a handful of colours! And I also feel like I go through buying and not buying times. I’m sure your 30 will multiply!! 

[Titian06]

LOL - @ather !  I'm sure it will, but the good thing is it's a lot less expensive than my yarn addiction! 🤣🧶🧶🤭

[ather]

@Titian06  Awww I have a friend with a very expensive yarn 🧶 addiction as well!!!

@WinglessOne Spectacular shades. They are all really unique and pretty. You thumb is really catching my eye! 

[WinglessOne]

Thank you @Mellmars1185 ! 

[CookieGirl1]

I remember liking your initial swatch of "Flavorite" when you showed it and I REALLY like it on your nails.  That's my kind of color!

[WinglessOne]

Thanks @CookieGirl1 ! Forgot to mention I used KBS's quick dry top coat this time. 🙂 I haven't had to use much hand sanitizer since finishing this mani, but I will over the weekend—so I'll get to see if this top coat holds up better to hand sanitizers than Glisten & Glow does. 

[CookieGirl1]

@WinglessOne I HATE how hard hand sanitizer is on my nails!  I use a ton of it as well and I'm a constant hand-washer so I always feel like I'm lucky to get a few days out of a mani no matter what I'm using 😐.

[Titian06]

I love all of these, @WinglessOne ! 🥰  Of course my eyes went straight to My Fla-vor-ite color followed by Meet Me in the Dark.  Hidden Potential in the bottom pics is gorgeous!  Now I can't wait to try the KBShimmer I bought.

[WinglessOne]

Thanks @Titian06 ! I look forward to seeing your KBS! Which shade did you get? 

[Titian06]

@WinglessOne - I got Rock the Float.  It's described as a hot pink with color shift in gold and peachy orange in bright light and tangerine, rose, and fuchsia in soft light.

[WinglessOne]

@Titian06  Oooh, that’s going to look beautiful on you! 

[RGbrown]

@WinglessOne 

As is to be expected, I focused on the purple first, and was pleased to see it's one I already have, so no need for me to add it to my shopping list 😅 EdM and Shovelin' both catch my eye next, but really, all of these are gorgeous, and I love how you mix and match colors with your manis, putting together shades I'd never thought about combining. It always works! 😍

[WinglessOne]

Aw, thank you @RGbrown ! One fun thing about very shifty duo/multichromes is being able to make 'em work with so many other colors. 😄 I didn't even have a color story in mind this time; just "yay, let's throw all the newbies on my nails, even the green one!" 

[Cissy63]

Oh I’m lovin these colors @WinglessOne! That Icy blue and Grape are saying “come to mama “!!  Beautiful 🤩 

[WinglessOne]

@Cissy63  Those 2 shades compliment each other nicely. 🙂 Which is kinda funny since, according to KBS, My Fla-vor-ite Color was summer inspired while Everyday I'm Shovelin' was winter inspired.
