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! ❤️

@Saradestin 

Ahhhhhh, these are fab! I love the "perfectly imperfect" vibe here with the overlapping colors flowing this way and that over each other. Gorgeous! 😍

[Saradestin]

Yes, they are a little (quite) messy but they look cool even that way. Thank you so much @RGbrown 

gorgeous!

This is great, @Saradestin !  It looks like a free-hand design.  Love the colors you chose for this mani as well. 🥰

Quick swatches of a few Pear Nova polishes I recently picked up. These are without a top coat.

I just saw that the brand is having a sitewide sale - 25% off with code LOVE. Their regular polish usually run $13.50 (with code, $10.12). The shades on my index and middle were already marked down to $8.10 so with the promo code, it's $6.08.

Pear Nova

All 2 coats except for the middle nail which was 4 - one initial thin coat and then dabbing the polish on 3 other times. That "technique" seems to apply this particular color / formula better.

from index to pinky:

Rub My Temples - described as a cranberry with gold shimmers. The shimmers don't show up in the photo and it's actually hard to see them IRL but the color is a beautiul, deep red. 

Thick Dip & What Not - sheer blue shimmer shade shifter. It is very sheer. First layer goes on very thin, dark grey-blue in hue. I'm aiming to redo swatches with this one over the weekend to get some pics in outside and see if I can capture the shift.

Rooftop 'Til You Drop - described as a grape purple with blue shimmer. The purple is beautiful and this has a loely finish to it. I don't see the blue shimmer in it, either in the photo or on my nails. May need to see how this shows up whven the sun's out.

Kissu Miss You - bright red creme. This one to me leans warm, with some orange undertones. It's a pretty red. 

I'm not a huge fan of the brush on these polishes - it's your regular size brush and that I could make work but the long handle on it made it a little harder to control the brush application. Not the most difficult set up I've seen but it takes some getting used to.

Love these!!!

[itsfi]

Thank you @Rachilla! I picked up a couple more polishes - a couple of sparkly ones. Can't wait for them to arrive! I wasn't expecting a sale and took that as the nudge I needed! 😅

[CynthieLu]

Lovely swatches of your new polishes, you got a really good selection of colours to play with here ‌👌‌

I'm glad they all turned out @itsfi I love the sheer one the mostest! ‌😁‌‌💙‌

[itsfi]

Thank you @CynthieLu! The colors are so vibrant. 😍 The sheer blue one came through beautifully. 💙

@itsfi 

Ahhhhh, yay for new brands! These are so pretty, I'm especially digging that blue! 😍

I don't think I've heard of it before, though I feel like a tiny bell is ringing somewhere in the recesses of my mind, but in any case, you got me with "sale" and I ordered a few to try for myself 😂

[itsfi]

Thank you @RGbrown! I was initially was worried about how sheer the blue applied. Then I thought “dab, dab, dab” and voila! All better! 😊 I don’t think the sun will make an appearance this weekend so I’ll try to do a mani with it another day and take a photo of what it looks like in better lighting.

Excited to see what colors you picked up and your thoughts on the brand.
