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! ❤️

I've had a burning desire to do a French mani and @itsfi pushed me over the edge! 😄

For the base, I used Morgan Taylor Ambience.  @RGbrown wore this color not too long ago, and I commented that it would make a great base for a French mani.  I agree with my statement!  It's a pearly, shimmery sheer pink with maybe a hint of peach.  No issues wit the one coat I used.

For the tips, I stamped the tips on with the Maniology M-052, Pardon My French, plate and using Morgan Taylor Artic Freeze.  I went back and free-handed a second coat on the tips.  Both coats went on easily.

@Titian06 OMG THIS IS SOOOO CUTE!!!!! I love how clean the lines are! Also short frenchies are so underrated. You're inspiring all the short nail clubs!!!

[Titian06]

Thanks, @jaaayp !  You are too kind! 😘

[itsfi]

@Titian06, your French tips are exquisite! I’m so impressed by your use of stamps for the tips! 😍 Love the delicate thin tip, it’s an added layer of elegance to a classic French mani. So pretty!! 🩷

[Titian06]

Thanks, @itsfi ! 💖💖💖

@Titian06 Beautiful french mani. The base is so pretty. I did not realize you can stamp on french tips. You did an excellent job!

[Titian06]

Thanks, @Mellmars1185 !  Yes, this plate has a variety of widths and heights to accommodate different nail widths and lengths.

That turned out so nice, @Titian06!

[Titian06]

Thanks, @CookieGirl1 ! 💖💖💖  I like how they look too! 😄

@Titian06 

Ah yay, this looks fabulous! French tips are such a classic and timeless look 🤍

[Titian06]

Thanks,  @RGbrown ! 💖💖💖

@Titian06! This looks so timeless and chic. And even more impressive is the fact that you free handed some of it!

[Titian06]

Thanks, @JoSometimes !  I used to free-hand my tips, but my tremors are too bad for that now.  Touching up the patchy spots was still a challenge, but it wouldn't be noticeable if I messed up on the second coat.

[JoSometimes]

@Titian06 I’m sorry to hear about your tremors. I’m glad you found something that works for you though! 

[CynthieLu]

@Titian06 these turned out great!

If I'm reading this right you did this with a stamping plate? And you freehanded the second coat?? Wow! Skills! 🤩🤍🩷

[Titian06]

Thanks, @CynthieLu !  There were some patchy spots on the tips so it was easier to just swipe some more polish on to fix.

[Saradestin]

Great job @Titian06 !! I love your French manicure, so chic! The base you used is just perfect, you were right 😊, and the tips came out great! 😍

[Titian06]

Thanks, @Saradestin ! 💖💖💖

Time for a Memorial Day manicure!! This was a complete disaster. I tried so many times and the results were so disappointing. I erased 4 nails twice until I got something good enough. I am very pleased with my right hand, not that much with my left one, but it is good enough. The previous attempts were completely different. 
I used Orly White Tips as my white base.

I used Morgan Taylor Good Gossip, my favorite red color of all times, packed with micro glitter that makes the nails sparkle in a breathtaking way.

I used Red Eyed Lacquer in They’re Heeeere! for the blue. I would have used the same blue polish that I used for stamping (which is L’Oréal 598 VIP Blue) but this is the one that glows in the dark and I couldn’t resist. To get the best glow I needed to put it under direct light for a minute before going to bed and it glowed so nicely! So much fun! 
As stamping plate I used Moyou London Flower Power Collection 23.

@Saradestin AMAZING!!! how long are these manis taking you?!?! Work of art 🎨 ✨️ 💖 👏👏👏

[Saradestin]

If it was not because of the failure, it would have taken me very little time @jaaayp . Once you get ahold of stamping, it is very quick (because you need to, basically 😅), so it is a fast process.
