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! ❤️

Lovely polish, @CookieGirl1 !  Sorry to hear about your broken nails!

[CookieGirl1]

*Sigh* thanks, @Titian06.  They'll grow back (slowly) and in the meantime I guess it means that I use up less polish due to having less real estate to work with, lol.

[WinglessOne]

@CookieGirl1  Sorry about your broken nails. 😞 But also, congrats on waiting til the Black Friday deals spin up! You have more willpower than me. Six of Crows is such a beautiful shiny multichrome. 

[CookieGirl1]

@WinglessOne Trust me, as soon as BF hits, all bets are off on being conservative 😂.

[RGbrown]

@CookieGirl1 

Oh no, not a rash of broken nails 😞 I hate that! However, they still look fantastic with that gorgeous shifty polish, stunning!! ✨

[CookieGirl1]

Thanks, @RGbrown!  It's not a very "Fall" color but I don't need to be on trend, lol.

@CookieGirl1, as a West Coaster, this is on point for this time of the year! ☺️ I feel like we generally have 2 seasons - the warm-hot season and cold season. Six of Crows fits perfectly! 

[RGbrown]

@CookieGirl1 

Nah, there's never a need to stay seasonal! I have been buying up allllll the white crellies with colored glitters for BF, very summery looking stuff mostly, and I plan to rock them all out pretty much as soon as they show up 😁

[CookieGirl1]

Can't wait to see what you got, @RGbrown!

[RGbrown]

Color4Nails BF sale!

Apparently I'm behind on checking their site, since it started 3 days ago, whoops lol

Exclusions apply, but I don't see a list...I know they've been fairly significant in the past but don't remember specifics off the top of my head. Free shipping with 5 items.

I think I'm done with BF shopping 😮

OK, maybe not, still waiting to see what Zoya and What's Up come out with (eta: oh shoot, and ILNP!), and I haven't fully browsed C4N yet, so there may be more in my future, but G&G and Night Owl are both live and I've placed my orders...went way overboard, sigh (the Night Owl LE polishes are stunning though, had no trouble adding every last one to my cart, worth it!).

Was debating a small KBShimmer order, but 15% kinda deflated my sails on that one, so I ordered a couple of polishes and 2 bottles of topcoat from Sleek Nail yesterday for a sliiiiightly better price (and no shipping fee, big bonus). KBS changed the limit from 300 to 50 every 3 months for their brushes (also a bummer because I'll eventually need around 350-400)...I might see if they're in stock once their sale goes live tomorrow, but considering it'll take me two years to get what I need at that rate, I'm in a bit of a funk over that too 😋

Don't forget to check the PPU sale list, it's linked right at the top of their home page!

Whatcha getting? Am curious to know where everyone is shopping this year!

[Titian06]

@RGbrown - My purchases have been from KBShimmer and G&G.  I'd like Maniology to have a sale, but haven't received an e-mail yet.  Unless something unbelievably awesome comes up, I'm done, and back on a no/low buy.

[RGbrown]

@Titian06 

A short and simple list, I love it! 

[WinglessOne]

@RGbrown 

Color4Nails sale exclusions, per their IG post: 

• Not applicable for Final Sale Items. 
• Not applicable for Gift Cards 
• Not applicable for previous purchases 
• All KbShimmers are Discounted 15% off
• Polish Molish Friends Don't Lie Discounted 15% off

Night Owl Lacquer got me tonight, too. 🤦‍♀️ Also ordered more G&G top coat refills + a few more brushes, since I'm at KBS's revised brush limit and I'm too impatient to wait til 2023 to get more brushes. 

I have an All Mixed Up cart of mostly plain jellies, just waiting for tomorrow. Might also see if there's any more Crystal Knockout I'd like to have. And of course I'll probably pick up another polish or 2 from LynB. 😄 If Zoya has a good discount, I'll grab a couple things from my wishlist. Surprisingly, I haven't heard anything from ILNP yet, at least not that I know of... I should probably check my promos inbox more closely. Haven't picked through C4N yet, but I wanna see which Cadillacquer and Phoenix/M&N polishes they still have available (and hopefully discounted). 

[RGbrown]

@WinglessOne 

Ahhhh, thanks for the C4N list! 

I sent KBS an email over the weekend asking if the new lower limit would be permanent or if it's just for the holiday season (maybe they do it for the sale so more folks can get some?)...fingers crossed it's just a temporary thing 🤞

ILNP started on Thanksgiving last year, so that's my guess!

Plain jellies, you say?! I shouldn't, but I might have to check that out too! 🙈

[CookieGirl1]

@RGbrown I'm really hoping to pick up something from BKL since it's going to be their absolute final launch and there's one specific polish that I want but I doubt that I'll snag it fast enough.  I'm also vaguely considering checking out Emily de Molly since they're doing 25% off and I haven't tried any of her polishes.  Oh, and I just snagged my first peelie base from Black Dahlia so I'm excited to use that with that Orly x Kelli Marissa topper (which I love but I find painstakingly difficult to remove).

[RGbrown]

@CookieGirl1 

I'm sad to see BKL go 😞 Is this it for her for good at this point? Seems like I heard she'd still be doing PPU and HHC, just not doing direct sales on the site anymore, but I that was a few months ago and I dunno if that's still the case or not. In any case, yup, it's definitely worth checking them out!

(I should have known better than to ask this question, as I'll now be looking at BKL on Friday 😂)

I bought some silicone nail cover/fingertip thingies last year for removing polish; similar purpose to clips (but better IMHO, as there's no hinge, they're soft, and they provide a bit of a seal so the remover doesn't evaporate) and they have been AMAZING for glitters. I've got the Mitty brand, called Soakies; the only place I see them online now is eBay for $12-14, or Amazon has cheaper versions IIRC, but they are worth every penny!

[CookieGirl1]

@RGbrown I honestly don't know if Sarah will continue with Bees Knees for limited HHC and PPU or not because it sounds like her health has really taken a nosedive, which is so sad.

As for the finger thingies--I've never seen those!  You have me so intrigued now.

[Saradestin]

@RGbrown 🙈🙈🙈 I am waiting to see Whats Up, Zoya and Maniology deals, and leave the rest for random sales later on (unless it is something at 50% or more) I have to be targeted and keep that way!  “Sara, stay focused!” 😅

[RGbrown]

@Saradestin 

I hear that! The PPU list got me in trouble, I was looking through it the other night and wandered over to Anchor & Heart and placed a totally unplanned order...it was small, only $33 with shipping, but considering I was only on the "A" section of the PPU page, I realized I needed to close it ASAP and stop browsing every brand on the list 😂 

I spent way too much at G&G and NOL, but both were on my must-shop list; I adore both brands and don't feel terrible about it. Besides those two, I've done small orders at Orly and Sleek for stuff I wanted anyways that were decent enough deals. 

My wallet hopes Zoya and WUN have terrible deals so I can call it quits for the year (hahahahahahahaha 🤣)

[CookieGirl1]

@RGbrown you're right; that PPU list IS dangerous.  So why am I looking at it on the daily? 😂

[RGbrown]

@CookieGirl1 

I keep closing the tab, it keeps reappearing. I'm at a loss, dunno how to rid myself of it 😂
