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! ❤️

Thank you @itsfi for your kind well wishes 🥰.  Yes, recovery is going well!   Oh I really do enjoy the classic yellow and the purple too 💜💛!

@Cissy63 

Ahhhh, these all look pretty dang fantastic! I hadn't paid much attention to this release, but these look awesome! Textured polishes are awesome when done right and Sally Hansen seems to have nailed these! Love them all!! 😍

I hope you are recovering well from your surgery 🤗

[Cissy63]

Oh thank you @RGbrown 😀.  Yes I am recovering well 🙂.  I think Sally Hansen did a great job with this collection! 

[JoSometimes]

These are intriguing @Cissy63. They do look like the sugar coating on the marshmallows! Did you notice any of the texture coming off before you had to remove it or did it generally stay put?

[Cissy63]

No the texture stayed on for the 48 hours I wore the polish @JoSometimes 😃 Hope it stays on for the rest of my mani!

[JoSometimes]

Good to know @Cissy63! I saw these today at the drugstore and thought of you.

I hope everything is going well with recovery!

[CynthieLu]

Oh gosh that is such a neat idea! I've no clue about textured polishes but I love how that looks @Cissy63 it's a total treat!

Wow, surgery! I hope you recover fast ❤️‍🩹

[Cissy63]

Thank you  for your good wishes @CynthieLu 😀.  I know I am loving how it result turned out!

Another nail collab between Jamba Juice and Color Dept.:

[Saradestin]

Those are pretty shades @CookieGirl1 ! Thank you for sharing! 

[RGbrown]

@CookieGirl1 

Have you (or anyone else!) tried Color Dept yet? I saw a few at TJM last time I went, but they only had a couple of creams, and I just couldn't get excited enough to lay out $4 for something I likely have a dupe of from a brand I never see anywhere else I tend to shop 😬

[itsfi]

I'm interested to know if anyone has tried this brand as well @RGbrown @CookieGirl1. I could be persuaded to pick up a few polishes, and smoothies 😉 for that matter. The smoothies would be for research, of course. 😅

[CookieGirl1]

@itsfi @RGbrown I haven't tried the brand either but I like the idea of trying the smoothies "for science" 😁.

This mani was inspired by a beautiful daisy matte blue nail design by IG: @osa.nails. I prefer glossy nails over matte so I exercised some creative license and went for shine. My nails were just a teensy bit longer than they are normally so I took it as opportunity for a rounder shape to my nails. 💅

2 coats of the aptly named Gucci Lucy Baby Blue. Such a pretty blue! 💙 I was a little surprised that the first coat went on a smidge streaky, on all nails. A second coat was enough to give this opaque finish, but this is the first Gucci polish that didn't give me a thinly opaque finish with one coat. It was consistent though, in that every nail, even the pinky, had at least one bald spot requiring a second layer. Not a dealbreaker, just unexpected given my experience with Gucci polishs.  

The flowers on the accent nails were done with a dotting tool and nail art brush, along with Sephora Collection L198 Yellow Car, a bright yellow that I actually mixed with a bit of the white polish to tone it down a little, and You’re My Sol Mate, a bright white creme polish, from the Nails Inc. Mykonos Set. 

[Saradestin]

These are way too cute @itsfi ! I may need to copy some day 💙💙💙💙

[itsfi]

Thank you @Saradestin. Definitely give it a try. It’s got a fun spring vibe - doesn’t hurt with the sun being out either! ☀️ 

[Samtian]

@itsfi Cuteness!!!

[itsfi]

Thank you @Samtian! With the sun out, I was all for a cute, cheery mani. 😃 

[CynthieLu]

These are flipping cute! @itsfi 

The blue is a beautiful colour. If it gave you a bit of trouble, you can not tell at all. The final result is soo pretty 🩵

[itsfi]

Aww, thank you @CynthieLu. I still have some learning to do to master fuller looking flower petals, but I am happy with how this mani turned out. 

[Titian06]

I L-U-V your mani, @itsfi , and your daisies are the best! 💙🌷💙  Your nail shape looks wonderful.  Too bad the blue polish was a little finicky, but what do you want?  Perfection? 😄  This was my avatar(?) For the longest time.  Enjoy a bouquet of daisies for your great mani!
