[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! ❤️

@Saradestin , that's cool... That polish gives it a holographic effect

[Saradestin]

Thank you so much @danielledanielle ! 😘 This polish has surprised me so much! I am loving it much more than I thought. It will work as a gorgeous topper as well.

[Kim888]

Wow that’s so unique @Saradestin ! 

[Saradestin]

Thank you so much @Kim888 ! 🤗 I love it! 😃

@Saradestin 

Geezus, this is stunning, amazing, fantastic, gorgeous! 😍😍 Love love love the glowy base, and your stamping is phenomenal! 

[Saradestin]

Aww, thank you so much @RGbrown 😘! It looks very pretty. And it was so easy to do! Both plates and the polishes behaved perfectly and made the entire process so easy and enjoyable.

@Saradestin, you keep surpassing your own bar! That pearlescent polish is a perfect base for your stamps. 😍 The stamps you chose are perfect. I especially like the ones on your middle and index fingers - the script adds such a romantic feel to the entire look. Gorgeous!!  

[Saradestin]

Thank you so much for your always nice words @itsfi ! 🤗🤗 I had in mind something like this even before having the stamping plates. It took me so long to find a text plate with different kinds of calligraphy, and this one was just exactly what I was looking for. IRL it looks more pearly and, therefore, more romantic. I love it! 🥰

[itsfi]

Thank YOU for your always amazing works of art! 💅🏼 You really did outdo yourself @Saradestin! As always. I think it was a great idea to wait until finding this calligraphy text plate. It really is perfect! ♥️

@itsfi 😘😘😘😘

I made the mistake of filing down my index fingernail. It was on the longer side and I thought that would give me more surface space to work with, but I was on auto pilot and ended up filing it down to line up with the other nails. It's the oddest looking football I’ve seen. Lol. I tried to be fancy and should have just kept it simple. Lesson learned. And noted! 📝 Not sure if I'll keep this through Super Bowl Sunday. May try my hand at some Valentine's Day nails. 

Accent Nail: 

• Nails Inc. Find Me in Fulham from the Nails Inc. French Mani Hack Nail Polish Set -  bright white creme 
• Nails Inc Don’t Be Bitter from the Nails Inc. I Like You a Choco Lot Quad - dark brown creme. The polishes in this set are chocolate scented. 🍫

Thumb, middle, ring & pinky: 

Smith and Cult Ponies Dancing In the Snow is a clear base with lots of very fine pink and silver shimmers and glitters. This is 3 coats; I could have probably gone for 4. I'm thinking I should have used a white or nude base. Will try that another day.

@itsfi  Awww I think this football looks perfect! I love your take on Super Bowl Sunday!

[Titian06]

I think it looks wonderful, @itsfi !  You probably noticed how short my nails are...well, that was because I got carried away, so I know how that goes! 😄

[itsfi]

Thank you @Titian06. Yeah, I started filing the index finger and then realized “whoops” I wanted to keep it long. By then, too late. Maybe my nails will just be naturally longer all around the next time I do a football mani. Doubtful but a gal can hope. 😂 

[RGbrown]

@itsfi 

Ahhhhh, this is flipping adorable! I love your football, so cute! 🏈

[itsfi]

Awww, thanks so much @RGbrown! 😊 It was a fun one to do, and got me to use another brown polish. Those don’t get much love from me very often. 

[Kim888]

love that it themed @itsfi ! 

[itsfi]

@Kim888, thank you. It’s a football 🏈 and Valentine’s Day 💕 theme in one. Ha! 

[CynthieLu]

This is a really cute mani @itsfi. Your football is great even thou it's a different shape than you invisioned. 😉 💗 You're so creative!

I love the look of Don't be Bitter, it's a cute jelly looking polish. I would love to see what it looks like on top of different bases

[itsfi]

Awww, thank you @CynthieLu! Don’t Be Bitter, the fake brown polish, smells like chocolate. I was skeptical but the polishes in that Nails Inc chocolate collection are good. Then again, it’s chocolate, right?!! 🍫 

I found a pink-ish polish in my shop my stash bin that doesn’t seem to have other polishes to pair with so I may just use that as a base color for the Smith & Cult polish. Yaaay, more ideas. 💡 

[CynthieLu]

Ooops @itsfi I didn't mean that one *embarassed* 😳 That one is nice though, What? yummy! It smells like 🍫, that's cool! 

I did mean the jelly looking one with the pink sparkles ✨️ 💗  my mistake when I scrolled up to catch it's name I read the wrong finger 🙅‍♀️
