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! ❤️

Congratulations, @Mellmars1185 ! 🥳 Looking forward to you modeling these! 🙂
@Mellmars1185, let the fun begin! 💅🏼 Enjoy your new treats!
Squee, congrats! I can't wait to see your results!! 🦇
Such a beautiful, sparkly and fun mani @itsfi! I am sorry that the toppers were a little bit of a pain to work with, but the results look gorgeous! 💙💙💙
@itsfi The star topper is the best!!! And the teal is also gorgeous!!!
Thank you!! The combination is a pretty one @ather, especialy since there are different colored stars in the topper. 🌟
@CookieGirl1, thank you. A little more effort for these toppers but they do make for a fun look. 🙂
@itsfi Beautiful base shade. I also have troubles with a star topper by Nails Inc. There are so many stars but it is really hard to get them on the brush!
@Mellmars1185, IKR?! You'd think with all the stars in the bottle, you'd have the opposite problem. 😂 I've found it helpful to pour out the stars into a small dish and pick them up from there, with the brush or a pair of tweezers.
Ugh, I hate fussy toppers 😣 The result is a fabulously sparkly starry mani, but I feel your pain!
If you don't have a glitter grabber topcoat, and don't want to use multiple layers of true topcoat, you can use a few layers of clear polish as a filler over the topper before adding topcoat. Another thing that can be helpful with particularly slippery toppers is to place the bits where you want them, then let them dry for a while before adding anything else on top, giving them a chance to set up where you placed them and reduce slippage. It's a PITA though, and like you, I'd just as soon avoid it!
@RGbrown, this is the fussiest topper I've used. I have 2 more from the brand and I'm a little nervous they'll need a lot of attention as well. But thanks to you and folks here, I have plan B, C, D... to address any fussiness. 😁 I'm pretty sure I have a glitter grabber top coat, though I may have lent it to a relative; will take a look into that. If not, time to pick up a glitter grabber top coat. Ha!
Sorry about all the pokey bits @itsfi I have no knowledge of topper troubles, there's alot of information in all the replies. I'm very intrigued as I read, amazing community knowledge 💙
I love the way the stars look on the teal, fyi. it's very magical evening.
@CynthieLu, this is such a fabulous thread! Made so by all the folks here - beyond the great mani's that people share, folks are super encouraging and kind, and as you said, so knowledgeable and helpful.
@itsfi This looks great save for the snagging stars. Is there any way to curl the stars before application? Maybe stick a few in a plastic bag and give them a quick blast with a blow dryer to see if warmth will make them more pliable so you can give them the shape you want. It works with lashes so maybe? 🤷♀️
Another option is to put a generous clear coat over the blue and press the stars into the clear coat as far as they’ll go before coating them
