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! ❤️

My first clematis bloom is starting to open, so I grabbed a little natural inspo for this set 💜💚🌱

Glisten & Glow Get Excited: deep purple cream with silver Holo flakies. The holo isn't super strong, I struggled to get a halfway decent shot under flash, but the color is gorgeous enough that I don't really care. Easy breezy two coater. 

Essie You're Scent-sational: pastel yellow with a touch of green, or in some lights, a pastel green with a touch of yellow 😂 Lovely shade, slightly dirty, perfect for fresh spring growth. Typical yellow though, sadly...chalky, streaky, a bit of a pain. I was in a hurry last night and didn't have time for three coats, but it probably would have come out better if I had. I slopped on the second coat pretty thick, and dropped dots of extra polish over the thinnest spots, and while it photographed passably well, it looks a bit lumpy and streaky IRL. 

"Full sun" is a cloudy, overcast day 🌥️

Indirect light

Flash for a hint of rainbow sparkle ✨

Your clematis is spectacular @RGbrown and the mani you created inspired by its beauty looks gorgeous! 😍

@Saradestin 

Thanks so much! 💛💜

I love flowers in bloom @RGbrown! What a fabulous inspiration for your mani. The flash really brings out the brightness of the yellow and sparkle in the purple shades. Purple & silver holo make for a stunning combination - it almost looks like there's some pink glitter in it in some lights - that G&G polish is gorge! 💜

@itsfi 

Thanks so much! This has been a fun combo! 💜💛

[CookieGirl1]

@RGbrown That's a unique yellow!  (And I love clematis!)

[RGbrown]

@CookieGirl1 

Thanks so much! It's a great color, even if it was a bit of a pain 💛

[WinglessOne]

@RGbrown  Purple and that pale yellow-green are one of my favorite color combos in any medium. Sorry the Essie was a pain to work with. It still looks lovely in your photos.

@WinglessOne 

Thanks so much! I keep buying yellows knowing they're probably going to be difficult, so it's not like I play no role in my troubles some days 😂

@RGbrown  Ooooo these are beautiful!! That yellow!!!! 😍

[RGbrown]

@ather 

Thanks so much! That yellow is such a fun color if you're willing to put up with the formula lol

@RGbrown  I haven’t met a yellow that wasn’t annoying to apply and I still wear yellow!! 

[CynthieLu]

I've never seen that kind of plant before @RGbrown it's so pretty! Beautiful idea to use it for inspiration for your nails, they turned out soo nice 😄🪻

[RGbrown]

@CynthieLu 

Thanks so much! They'll last about a month start to finish; slowly over the next few weeks, these will turn into the most glorious purple ruffled-y blooms 💜💜

Here's what it looked like in late April last year 😍

[CynthieLu]

Oooh look at those lovelies @RGbrown, they really are soo pretty! I would look forward to that bloom too 🙂

[Titian06]

Ooooo, pretty purple flowers!  I'm envious, @RGbrown ! 💜💜💜

This has been my all time favorite plant puchase...it was a sad clearance purchase I was sure wouldn't make it, but it has been 7-8 years now and it's still going strong!

[Mellmars1185]

@RGbrown Gorgeous mani inspired by your clematis! The deep purple is so pretty and the yellow green shade goes so well with it! 🌸

[RGbrown]

@Mellmars1185 

Thanks so much! Seeing this one bloom is one of my favorite things about spring 🌱💜

[Titian06]

Very pretty, @RGbrown ! 💜💛💜💛  I love purple and yellow together almost as much as purple and green so that yellow/green is perfect!  Your pic in front of the flower is so spring-y. 🥰

Thanks so much! Nature makes some amazing colors combos 💛💜
