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! ❤️

That’s why I decided not to say such a thing anymore @itsfi ! 😅

@itsfi 

I harbor no illusion that any haul before December 31 is my last haul of the year 🤣🤣🤣 I just wanted at least a couple of weeks off before then, but I'm not sure it'll happen at this rate 😋💸💸💸

[itsfi]

Yeah, I'm not sure those 2-weeks will come easily @RGbrown! Holiday sale season is upon us! My goal is to "buy / spend less than last year" and my stretch goal through year end is to pick up no more than 2 polishes in November and December. I kinda chuckle when I read that back - that's gonna a really big stretch becuase I do love me a good deal. 🤣 The damage has already been done fun has already been had for this month - in addition to PPU, and the recent BP haul, my GMA - Deborah Lippmann polish haul extravaganza arrived 💖💖💖💖💖 - it was a pretty polish party in a box, filled with beauties to add more "variety" to my reds and purples. ❤️💜❤️💜 Because my reds and purples need more variety. Hahahaha!

@itsfi 

Oh yay, I can't see what all you picked up from the DL/GMA deal! I built a cart, but ultimately passed (though I'm kinda kicking myself for not going back for the sparkly purple one, whatever it was, sigh).

Two polishes? Over two entire months? That's something I can't even comprehend 😅 Though I am rooting for you make it happen if that's what you want!!! You can do it! 

[itsfi]

Oh whoops @RGbrown, I misspoke. 😬 Stretch goal would be 2 polishes per month, so 2 November and 2 December. I have such a backlog of polishes and stamping plates / nail art projects. It’s just easier to push those things to the side when I see deals and polishes. 😆

I’m not at a polish per day for backlog inventory (yet) so I want to make my way through some I picked up before the holidays. Friends and family are in town too at year end so things I decide to pass off can go to them. I’ll try to hold out unless there’s a deal I just can’t pass up.

It's time for another 50% sale at LynB! Code CUSTOMS through the 18th

 

[Saradestin]

Yay!!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉 although... 🙈💸💸💸 But I am going to check it out, because I think I had some items in my wishlist and I needed a top coat anyway. 😃 Thank you for the heads up @RGbrown ! 🤗

[Saradestin]

@RGbrown I have a problem with LynB... I just can’t resist to buy their polishes 🙈 I already placed my order. I purchased two top coats (the only thing that I really needed) and I couldn’t resist to get three magnetic polishes (@WinglessOne short video is to blame/credit 😜) and a sparkly one. Looking forward to receiving them and see if I am able to make the magnetic magic happen! 

[WinglessOne]

@Saradestin  Looking forward to seeing your magnetic polish adventure! 

I might buy another LynB magnetic since I only have 2 from the brand (both came in my Halloween mystery bundle) and wanna see if Jenna's magnetic formula is subtle across the board. I'll probably grab either Best Buds or Dammit Janet. The former will show more obvious pull than the latter, thanks to the contrasting colors, so that'll likely be the one. 

[Saradestin]

@WinglessOne I picked:

MAGNETICS

- The Brat Prince: green/gold

- Space Was Cool Before It Mattered: dark blue/silver

- Best Buds: burgundy/blue

OTHERS

- I Do Not Forgive: black base with red, orange, yellow UCC flakies

- Two top coats.

I still have polishes I purchased from previous sales that I have not used and I am adding more 🙈🙈🙈

@Saradestin 

"I still have polishes I purchased from previous sales that I have not used and I am adding more 🙈🙈🙈"

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha welcome to collecting 🤣 I'd have to do a deep dive to double check, but I'm pretty sure I still have at least a couple of polishes from last BF that I haven't gotten to yet 😲 I don't have time to do that right now though, because I'm building a cart over at BeyondPolish 🙄😅 They pile up so quickly! 

[Saradestin]

@RGbrown 😂😂😂😅😅😅 BeyondPolish got you!

Final mani after yesterday's play session 💀

I decided to do at least a little clean up of the blood spatter session and removed anything that made it past my knuckles, and the super large smear down the outside of my thumb. Then I put topcoat over my nails, and lost a little more red around the sidewalls while cleaning a few shiny spots off my skin, meh. Lost a little more red while washing my face last night, and I'd imagine more will wear off over the next few days, but I am loving the mess ❣️ I'd never be able to get something like that giant blob out of the sidewall and proximal fold around my thumb anyways...it's gonna look bloody no matter what, so I'm perfectly happy to leave it be 🎃

I forgot to mention in yesterday's post that I did a coat of Orly Glow With The Flow under one layer of Revlon Sheer Petal. It works great and there's still a nice glow! 

As much as I love my right hand, I'm having a hard time picking a fave after finishing my left hand 👀

Orly Clover and Over is an amazing golden green. Practically a one coater, though I always do two. So shimmery it positively glows 💚

Orly Smoke Jelly for the base under the cat eyes, and stamping on thumb and pinky done with MT Little Black Dress. Eyes done with vinyls from What's Up.

One coat of Glow With The Flow under one coat of Smoke Jelly...this was a 100% fail. No matter how much I charge it, I can't see even a hint of glow in the dark. I tried to keep my last coat of Smoke sheer, but I guess it's still too pigmented to work this way.

Most of the time, I'm jonesing to change a mani after a couple of days, but I'd be happy to wear this one all the way up to Halloween. I have peaked 🤣

@RGbrown  I agree with you. I’m good for 2-3 days and I want to change up my nails. I popped into a Sally’s today and got some new colours. And I’m itching to change mine but I might try and hold off till Halloween!! I love both sets. The blood spatter is awesome. And the green eyes is also the best!! 

[RGbrown]

@ather 

Thanks so much! And hooray for new polishes! 💖

[ather]

@RGbrown  Thanks! I got a green and it will be perfect for Christmas and I’m itching to do red and green now 😬😳

[RGbrown]

@ather 

Ain't nothing wrong with that...red and green can fill all sorts of themes! Can I offer up blood spatter and cat eyes? 😂👻

[ather]

@RGbrown  Can you do them for me!!!!

[RGbrown]

@ather 

Come on down and I'll do my best! I make no promises about how good the end result looks, but I'll certainly try 😂

[Samtian]

@RGbrown I'm obsessed with both of those!

[RGbrown]

@Samtian 

Thanks so much! Definitely one of my favorite manis to date 💚💕
