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! ❤️

Thanks @ather !

@WinglessOne Beautiful manis. Love the shade combinations.

[WinglessOne]

Thanks @Mellmars1185 !

@WinglessOne 

I'm always in awe of your combos and creativity 😍😍 I love everything here! Layering and marbling and dotting, it's all spectacular 💖

[WinglessOne]

Thanks @RGbrown ! Coming from you, that says a lot! 😊

Your Cirque sandwich with 786 X'ian is beautiful @WinglessOne.

[WinglessOne]

Thank you @itsfi ! I wish Xi'an appeared more strongly through Navy Jelly (or that I'd used a black jelly instead), but it turned out well. 

[CookieGirl1]

@WinglessOne wow, you squeezed a lot of different formulas in there!  I loved hearing your thoughts on each of them.

[WinglessOne]

Thanks @CookieGirl1 ! I originally had maybe 8 polishes for my current mani, then added a few more while thinking about the final results I wanted. This might be the most polishes I've ever used in a single manicure. 😄 

[CookieGirl1]

I'm a little impressed, @WinglessOne.  Thassa LOT of polishes at once, lol.

[Titian06]

As always very interesting combinations, @WinglessOne ! 😍  I'm glad to hear the good results of 786 since that brand is on my list to try.  I don't know EDK, but that color is gorgeous.  Your middle finger is my favorite on the right hand.  I am absolutely loving the ring finger on your left hand.  

In the bottom mani, the marbling you did is awesome.  Thanks for sharing how you did it.  That's a method even I can do! 😄  Your index fingers with the dot designs are unexpected.  I like this!

[WinglessOne]

Thank you @Titian06 ! Jellies are very easy to marble with, thanks to their thinness. They’re also easy to ombré: no sponge required. There are other ways to get a marble effect without actually water marbling, like the old “paint plastic wrap and smush it onto your nail” method. That one works well with creams. Whichever method you try, I can hardly wait to see your results! 

EDK = Esmaltes da Kelly. In addition to stamping plates, EDK has some good looking polishes. I think I bought mine at Beautometry where they might still be marked down… not to enable of course, you know, I’m just throwing that out there. 😈

Your nails are so fun to look at @WinglessOne Thank you for sharing these two 😄 ooooh yikes looks like you got a finger injury?

[WinglessOne]

Thanks @CynthieLu ! I usually have fun with my crazy layering and/or non-uniform color schemes. Very rarely do I wear the same single polish on all 10 nails. 😄 

The finger injury is self-inflicted: I chewed up the skin fold and some of the skin below it. Sometimes my anxiety disorder still gets the better of me, though I bite the skin around my fingers much less often than I did when I began posting in this thread. I’m healing that skin as usual: hypochlorous acid* spray as needed, fragrance-free facial oil, and Aquaphor Ointment. It’s not sore anymore and should heal up with a few days if I don’t pick and bite at it again. 

*This is the main ingredient in the Tower 28 spray that does wonders for many people’s skin. Hypochlorous acid is antibacterial and anti-inflammatory. I buy SkinSmart’s spray because it’s much less expensive than Tower 28’s, and both sprays contain nearly the same ingredients. 

[CynthieLu]

(That's a hot tip about the spray, love a dupe at a better price. 👌 *I'm looking into Canadian availability right now*)

 Ooh ouch. I hope you have a speedy recovery and can avoid the chewing while you heal @WinglessOne 🍀🩷

@chelseareubel Fanatics mani. I really like how each nail has it's own unique look.

[itsfi]

@chelseareubel, your mint green, white and gunmetal combination is springtime perfection! 😎 Love the patterns on your nails, very cool!

Cool designs, @chelseareubel!
