[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! ❤️

Gorgeous mani, @ather , and it looks great with your silver ring! 🤩

[ather]

@Titian06  Thank you!  Everything needs to match!!! 

[RGbrown]

@ather 

This is flipping fantastic! 🤍✨ Bless you and your patience with chrome powders 😅

[ather]

@RGbrown  I think it’s less patience and more I am stubborn. I spent the money on it I will make it work. Lol. I’m pretty stubborn like that. I was just at a winners and I saw an opi chrome effects no wipe top coat. But it didn’t say gel on it. I assumed it was regular polish I kinda wish I grabbed it but I figured I would just continue the way I’m doing it. 

[RGbrown]

@ather 

This one? 👀 It works well if you want to try doing it with regular polish, but honestly, I think gel is the easier route with powders. I never pull mine out because I don't have a gel setup, and it's just so fussy to mess with 😕

 

[ather]

@RGbrown  Nope. It was different. I bet it’s the gel version maybe? 

 It was this one! 

[RGbrown]

@ather 

Ah, yup, that's the gel version! I had it too (I found a set at Burke's with the one I posted, plus this one, and two of their powders), but when I went to play with it, it was cured solid in the bottle somehow, and I wound up breaking the brush stem out of the top trying to get it open 🤣 AFAIK, it's just a no-wipe topcoat, which you've already got under control!

[ather]

@RGbrown  Ahhh ok I figured as much. Cool to see. I normally don’t see gel at winners. 

[RGbrown]

@ather 

I found a 6pk of an OPI red gel at TJM the other day 🤔 And have seen the occasional bottle of other colors here and there, but it's rare, and normally only 1 or 2 at a time. 

[ather]

@RGbrown  Oh wow. Crazy. I’m an hour from any of those stores so I don’t go often. But I’ll have to start looking when I’m close to one. 

[itsfi]

Winter vibes indeed @ather! The silver and white look beautiful together. 

[ather]

@itsfi  Thanks! If only I could do some snowflakes on my nails they would be perfect!

[itsfi]

Oooh, snowflakes on this mani would be  would be so fun @ather! ❄️ I have snowflakes on my list for nail art but that’ll be for another day, when I have more time and patience. 

[ather]

@itsfi  maybe I can try it when I am on my Christmas break and have more patience!

Thank you so much for letting us know @WinglessOne ! Every day there is a new sale popping up! It’s quite exciting! (and almost scary 💸 😂)

[ather]

@WinglessOne  Oooooo thanks for sharing!!

[Saradestin]

I received my first Mooncat order from their recent sale.

These were my choices, from left to right:

Smokescreen: grey magnetic lacquer filled with silver micro holographic glitter they reveals a pink to orange multichrome magnetic stripe. 

If Frogs Had Wings: Aqua Nelly lacquer filled with bright pink shimmer and soft yellow and green iridescent flakies.

Supervillain: a multichrome flakies Lacquer filled with holographic glitterthat shifts between shades of blue and purple.

Raven: black matte lacquer with subtle glints of purple and pink shimmer.

I applied the first of the polishes, Raven, the simplest of all, thinking on maybe playing with stamping later on. It was opaque after the second coat but I applied a third one. 

It is a very matte formula that looks almost black in the shade (very very very dark eggplant) and has a hint of purple in the sun. Exactly what I wanted, so I am very satisfied with it and happy i got it. Now I want Dream Within a Dream and Rue Morgue 😅. I have six months to save for their next sale 😁.

I love that how beautifully the purple (and eggplant base shade) comes through in this mani @Saradestin. The matte finish looks lovely on your nails! On mine mattes look so flat but they look fabulous on your pretty, long nails. 🖤💜🖤💜

[Saradestin]

Aww, thank you so much @itsfi! I had a couple of casualties a few weeks ago (that pinky nail that lost the Halloween googly eyes, and the ring one that I successfully “patched” for several weeks until it grew long enough), but now they are getting there. 😊

[ather]

@Saradestin  Great choice!!! Raven is beautiful I love the purple with the flash!!!
