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! ❤️

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. 😂

@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 🙅‍♀️ 

[itsfi]

@CynthieLu, not a problem. I make mistakes often when reading posts and am answering, mainly when it’s late at night and I should be asleep or early in the morning when my coffee has not kicked in. 😆 I’ll do another mani with the pink sparkles. Not sure if it’ll be this or next week.

I love it!! You did awesome @itsfi !! Perfect for Super Bowl Sunday!! 

[itsfi]

Ahhh, thank you @Saradestin! That's very nice of you to say. We shall see if this mani actually lasts through Game Day. I keep finding so many looks I want to try for Valentine's Day and if I wait until after Super Bowl Sunday, that's just not enough time to get to all of them. 😂

@itsfi Fun Football Mani! 

[itsfi]

@Mellmars1185, thank you! Having my nail longer for the nail art would have been ideal, but now I have a host of ideas and photos of manis for next season. lol. So many mani ideas out there on the internet. 😆

[Titian06]

Hey, all!  Bonus pics because not only did I polish, I stamped!  Woo-hoo! 😄

Thumb & Ring:  Zoya Normani.  Lovely medium-dark taupey mauve cream.  Easy two coater.  Next to purple, this is my favorite nail polish color family.

Index, Middle, & Pinky:  KBShimmer Cubicle Pusher.  Dusty gray lavender with subtle holo.  Easy two coater.  Great color and I love the name! 

I actually thought both of these polishes were taupey purples.  Even IRL it's hard to see the difference.

For the stamping, I used Maniology So Metal and the Brushworks plate.  This is the first time I've been able to get So Metal to work!  Guess my skills are improving. 😁

@Titian06  These are so pretty! 

[Titian06]

Thanks, @ather !  I can't believe this mani is still going strong even after doing some serious house cleaning yesterday! 😄

[CynthieLu]

I really like the effect of this @Titian06

The silver looks so cool in these stamps. 🤩 It's very visually appealing 💜 Well done girl!

[Titian06]

Thanks, @CynthieLu ! 💖💖💖

[itsfi]

@Titian06, dusty purples and silver!!! A color combination that makes me smile. The shades look so cool together, literally and figuratively. Those stamp designs look fun - you did an awesome job with stamping! 

[Titian06]

Thanks, @itsfi !  I'm glad the combo turned out well.  The stamping polish is super shiny.  I want to try it just as an accent nail color at some point. 🎆
