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! ❤️

Ohhh!!! There's something about each of these polishes that I am loving @RGbrown! I'm not always a super fan of gold shimmer but the deep purple of Lachrymae looks gorgeous with the holo and gold shimmer. 💜✨ Zoya Liza looks like a color I think would be a perfect mixture of red (ahhhhh!!!), rose, pink and purple and, of course, it's muted so that almost means an automatic love for me. Ha!

The MT duo are the surprise for me - is it the season? I ordinarily prefer silver shimmers but these two Morgan Taylor polishes are really standing out to me in this mani - is it MT doing it again?! Is it because neither of these polishes lean too warm? They're very pretty! 😍 Ahhhh, Marlowe - one that has been on my Zoya list for some time. Really happy I can see what it looks like on someone.- I didn't know how I'd feel about the jelly base, they're a big hit and miss for me, but this looks good and I really love the blue base and fun microflakes on Marlowe.

I actually waffled pretty hardcore on Lachrymae because of the gold, but figured it would be a good addition to my collection since I just don't have much with gold (and it was on sale lol), and I'm glad I got it! I've got lots of other purple holos, sure, but this one still offers a little something unique for me 💜✨

"...is it MT doing it again?!" Ummm, when is MT not doing it? 😂 They definitely make some stunners 😍

[itsfi]

Hahaha! Good point on MT @RGbrown. I don’t think I’ve ever been disappointed by them. Glad you decided to pick up Lachrymae; she’s a beauty! 💅🏼

Oh no! You removed your gorgeous vote day mani @RGbrown ! I know that today is not vote day anymore but it was so beautiful! 😅 

But this new one is gorgeous as well. Those shades are so beautiful. I really like Enchanted Patina 😍

[RGbrown]

@Saradestin 

Ha, yup, it had to go...too many air bubbles around the stars and the rest of the imperfections were bothering me, so it was time 😋 Thanks so much! 

[Titian06]

Very nice, @RGbrown !  Really like MT Enchanted Patina.  I've looked at it a number of times, but thought it would be too sheer.  Now I'll have to give it a go.  Love A England...probably because I have that color and think it's gorgeous! 💜💜💜

[RGbrown]

@Titian06 

Thank you!

I've had it in my head that Enchanted Patina was "just" a topper, but I really wasn't much of a fan of it that way, it was a bit too streaky/uneven for me, and evening it out was starting to lift my base color, so I had to stop messing with it. Whenever I take this one off, I'm gonna do up one or two test nails of it without anything underneath to see how it looks without a pink base; there is a pink shift in the bottle, so I don't think it'll be too terribly different, perhaps a bit softer. Looking back now at old blog posts from the release of this collection, it was billed as a topper-slash-standalone shade, though the topper aspect was pushed pretty heavily, and some bloggers didn't even swatch it alone...I guess that's how I got "just a topper" stuck in my head 😋

Have been testing out some polish pairings over the last couple of weeks trying to figure out what Thanksgiving Day nails will look like, and I think I’ll go with this combo after I've finish making my contributions to the dinner. At least that's the plan ... for now. 😉 

Thumb, index & middle fingers - Zoya Cinnamon is a chocolate-y brown metallic. Very pretty. This is two coats, but one would have worked out nicely too.

Ring finger - China Glaze 50 Shimmering Years, 2 coats. It's a shiny pale gold-brown holo glitter - looks great worn alone or as a topper. 

Pinky - Zoya Cinnamon topped with one coat of China Glaze 50 Shimmering

@itsfi  Cinnamon is so pretty. Perfect for thanksgiving! 

[itsfi]

Thank you @ather! I just needed to find the right shade of brown polish for me! 🤎

[ather]

@itsfi  What type of brown are you looking for?

[itsfi]

Oh whoops, I may have misspoken @ather. Sorry. I like the browns here, along with another Zoya brown polish that I have (Zoya Autumn) so my previous aversion to them was more the result of not finding ones like Cinnamon and Autumn (and the topper here). 

[ather]

@itsfi  Ahhh you didn’t miss speak at all. Apparently I can’t read 🤣 

[itsfi]

@ather, 😂 that is me so often! 

[Cissy63]

@itsfi  Excellent combo from Thanksgiving.  The brown Zola Cinnamon caught my eye.  I’m not usually a fan of the color as it doesn’t look good on my nails But I like the gleam coming from it a whole lot!!

[itsfi]

@Cissy63, thank you! You know, before this year, I had maybe, may be, one brown polish. 😬 And now, I have … more than one. 🤣

I was a little nervous about picking up this Cinnamon one  (and the Autumn shade from Zoya) but I’m happy with both. Will post Autumn another day. The metallic in Cinnamon really adds a nice gleam to it that is lovely and keeps it from being just a brown polish.   

[Shosh85]

@itsfi  This is such a great combo! Definitely giving me fall/Thanksgiving vibes! So pretty! 😍

[itsfi]

Thank you @Shosh85! I can’t believe Thanksgiving is coming up so quickly. Will be fun to have these shades on my nails for the holiday! 🦃 

[Saradestin]

I can understand why are you leaning on this mani as the winner for your Thanksgiving Day @itsfi . It looks both elegant and festive. Great color and texture selection! 

[itsfi]

Thank you @Saradestin! I'm not usually a fan of brown nail polish - in eyeshadows, they make up the vast majority of what I own, but when it comes to nail polish, I rarely pick up any and if I do, it has been more because I felt like I needed a shade in my collection. lol. I'm certainly very happy that I picked up these two polishes, at some point, to have in my collection. The sparkly one makes such a pretty topper - part of me wants to see what that particular color looks like on top of all my brown or brown-leaning polishes. 

[Saradestin]

@itsfi I don’t have any brown polish and I have picked a few brownish tones today taking advantage of that Zoya bundle sale. I will wait for BF for more potential picks 😁
