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! ❤️

@CynthieLu Ah ok maybe I will try that out! Thanks!

[RGbrown]

@Mellmars1185 

Thanks so much!

Oh, no, these are from the mystery bags they did around BF...I'm just way behind on trying everything  🤣

[Titian06]

Another great set of colors from BDL, @RGbrown !  I love Backwards and Mystery 9, but they're all great! 💖💖💖

[RGbrown]

@Titian06 

Thanks so much! It's perhaps an eclectic mix for a mani, but they're all really nice and worthy of attention! 💖

Pretty nice sale over at I Scream Nails, 35% off plus free (US) shipping at $50. I still haven't tried this brand...I have some other planned purchases for the nearish future, so I'm not really looking to spend right this second, but I may have to go have a look-see anyways 😬

I am unsure when this ends, I don't see a date (ETA: ends Monday night per their IG)

@Cissy63, you’ve used polishes from this brand before, yes? You may have already gotten a notification about this sale ⬆️ but if not … 35% off!!! 💅🏼 

[Cissy63]

Oh I went back and changed my mind!  I have scented polishes coming to me. Vanilla, peach, lemon and berry🍋🍑🫐.  I will let you know what I think about them!

[itsfi]

Those sound like they would be delicious cream flavors @Cissy63. And polish shades too for the warmer weather. 😊 

[Cissy63]

Oh yes @itsfi I did get the message!  But I’m passing on it now (bought too many polishes lately)😆. Thank you for thinking of me 🥰

[RGbrown]

In honor of the BDL Lucky Bags coming back around, I pulled a bunch of my unused polishes from them. I've got one set of five today in the pink/purple family, and then another set of five for my next mani that's a little more of a mix, more purple plus some green, blue, and grey 💖 Most of these are mystery polishes, and I think all the named ones were limited, but I still wanted to show off some of their range if anyone is curious what might be in a mystery bag. 

Mystery PPU (pinky): they do sell overpours from PPU and HHC, though they slap a mystery label on it (or at least they did on this one...it's the only mystery PPU I've ever ordered, so I can't be sure they do it to all of them). I could probably try and figure out the actual name by scrolling their IG or something, but I haven't yet. In any case, it's a very pretty strawberry red, slightly pink leaning, that I think is supposed to be a linear holo, but the holo isn't super strong. There's also some gold reflective glitter, but the base is so opaque that it doesn't show through much either. Gorgeous color nonetheless, and a super duper easy one coater. 

Rose Friday (ring): this was their LE doorbuster for BF IIRC, and it's a gorgeous rich berry jelly with flakies that shift blue/purple/pink/red. I'm sad the sun isn't bright today, as I think a little better lighting would show this one off a little more clearly, but it's a lovely squishy jelly with really nice depth and dimension. Three coats for opacity, easy though, not fussy.

Mystery 1 (middle, and numbers are mine just for differentiating them in my collection): looks to be exactly the same as Rose Friday, just in a deeper purple base. Same notes as well, really lovely in person, easy three coater.

Mystery 16 (index): bright orchid purple base with contrasting blue shimmer and red reflective glitter. Maybe a little holo too? I see some other colors under flash, so maybe so. Easy two coater, pure summer fun.

Mystery 15 (thumb): soft dusty pink jelly, slightly blue leaning, loaded with aqua/blue/purple/pink shifting flakies and silver reflective glitter. Three coats for opacity, but this was another easy one.

BDL tends to run their polishes on the thick side, so I was mildly surprised none of these needed thinner to make them easier to work with. 💖

So beautiful @RGbrown! I love them all but your index is specially beautiful! 💜

[RGbrown]

@Saradestin 

Thanks so much! That was my fave of this bunch too, such a happy color 💜

[CynthieLu]

Those are gorgeous @RGbrown ❤️ 🩷

Ahh you pick such good mixes for your skittles. These colours and sparkles are just prefect together 🙂

I was very tempted to try out a mystery bag but maybe I'll bite BF... 🤗

[RGbrown]

@CynthieLu 

Thanks so much! Their mystery bags are great; whether you get one now or wait, they are totally worth it!

[Samtian]

@RGbrown Ooh I love that thumb color!

[RGbrown]

@Samtian 

Thanks so much! 💖

[CookieGirl1]

That's a super-pretty skittle, @RGbrown, and a good way to get through some untrieds. 

[RGbrown]

@CookieGirl1 

Thank you, and I definitely need to get back on the skittle train instead of just using 2 or 3 at a time. I have way too many backed up over here!

[Mellmars1185]

@RGbrown So beautiful! ❤️🩷❤️🩷💖

@Mellmars1185 

Thanks so much! 💖

[Titian06]

I love all these colors, @RGbrown ! 💖💖💖  I ordered my bag yesterday.  I listed a couple of product types that I did not want, but anything else was fine--a true mystery! 🔎❓
