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 

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!

@RGbrown So beautiful! ❤️🩷❤️🩷💖

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! 🔎❓

@Titian06 

Oh yay, I hope you love it! Their bags are always so much fun, and the ability to customize them a bit really makes a huge difference! I shy away from most mystery offerings, but BDL really goes above and beyond with theirs 💖

I love all these colors @RGbrown. Right up my alley! 💗💜💗💜 

I like that you can indicate color or finish preferences with your Lucky Bag order. They don’t guarantee anything but I’ve found they do a nice job of trying to accommodate those preferences. I’m torn whether to ask for a certain color family or finish or to go for a complete surprise.

@itsfi 

They do a fantastic job at going along with notes, and I love that about them! My very first one, I wrote a dang novel about what I liked and didn't like lol, and everything was awesome, perfectly matched. After that one though, I was much more laid back, basically "no creams, no browns/nudes/neutrals/gold, I love all things sparkly" and they've also been mostly perfectly matched...I've got one polish I'm sitting on for a bit longer because it's not quite my style, but who knows, maybe I'll be surprised and love it. 

I've got way too many polishes to work through right this second to even consider ordering one right now, but I'll probably do the BF mystery bags again when November rolls around 💖

[itsfi]

Ohhh November @RGbrown!!! That’s when it gets crazy with all the sales everywhere!! I’ll be extra good in the summer, to save up for the damage to come! 💸💸💸 😂

Hey there! I've been working through a cold (I've not been sick for over 3 years!) and a loss, and haven't been online much, or doing anything with my nails until this past weekend. My Easter nails didn't pan out the way I hoped 😥 so I ended up going with a simpler look with this spring mani. 💜

LynBDesigns Capicorn, described as "a pale green base with purple shimmer, purple flakies, and green to teal to pink to purple UCC flakes," photographs as more of a pearlescent sheer white base. The pale green hue is visible in real life, but it is pretty faint and shows up more of a tint / undertone to the base. 

Since the green base wasn't as noticeable to my eye, I opted to top off Capricorn with Habit Belladonna, a vibrant royal purple, on the tips, with the help of some stickers. 

[Saradestin]

I am so sorry for your loss @itsfi 😓. You created a gorgeous mani! 💜

[itsfi]

Thank you @Saradestin. 🙂

[Samtian]

@itsfi Those are cute! I'm so sorry for your loss. 

[itsfi]

Thank you @Samtian. 🤗 

[ionianblue]

I'm sorry for your loss! 💞 

Spring mani reminds me of Easter speckled eggs Capricorn is looking really nice here! 💜

[itsfi]

Thank you @ionianblue! Spring brings rays of sunshine. 

Easter spreckled eggs was the look I was going for so these have made a nice substitute for that. There's another polish in this collection that has a similar effect but with different shades; will have to see about doing a mani with that one soon.

[CookieGirl1]

That turned out cute, @itsfi!  I'm sorry that you've been having a rough go, though 😥.

[itsfi]

@CookieGirl1, thank you. These turned out better than I hoped and it was good to do my nails again. Getting back into my usual routine has helped all around.
