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! ❤️

@CynthieLu  Ah, the S magnet. That's my favorite magnet. It's versatile: it can push metal bits to create a void, and it can pull an X, a traditional single band/stripe cat eye, and kind of a curved cat eye. When you get it, just hold it against a bottle of magnetic polish to see what both ends do—and note that different sides of either end have different effects. 

Christy Rose (KBShimmer owner) has a short YouTube video showing how to use this magnet: just search YT for something like "kbshimmer s magnet" and her video should be the first or second result.

My choice was influenced strongly by not using amazon or going across the border. I was also very curious to make a purchase and try a polish by Clionadh lol. 😉

Now I'm soooo extra excited. I had no idea it could be so versatile. I'm going to check out the video for sure, I super appreciate that tip 🙏@WinglessOne. I know it will take me time to figure it out but using the bottle to see the reactions is genius to me.  Thank you!

@CynthieLu This shade is so magical!

[CynthieLu]

I like this one, and it looks like how I pictured it would from the photos on her site. 🩷 She just announced another sale... but I'm ignoring it, it's hard becuase her polishes are sooo pretty 😱😉

[Titian06]

This color and your magnetization are so pretty, @CynthieLu ! 💜💙💖

[CynthieLu]

I feel good about how it turned out this time @Titian06. Thank you 😊 This is a pretty mix in a bottle 🌌

@CynthieLu 

That's a gorgeous color, and your magnetization looks great! Very cosmic looking! 🌌

[CynthieLu]

Thank you so much 💕 I've been much happier with how the magnet is working for me @RGbrown but I did place an order for a true nail magnet which may be easier than the make shift one I was using 😉

@CynthieLu  It’s got some space vibes, which I’m absolutely loving!

[CynthieLu]

Please don’t mind the steering wheel 😂 the lighting was perfect in the car!! 

[WinglessOne]

@cuterme  Hey, we all grab the best (at the moment) lighting when and where we can! 🙂 That's a very pretty rose polish!

[CattyT3]

My favorite nail shape : )

[Mellmars1185]

@cuterme Beautiful nails and nail polish shade!

[CynthieLu]

Very petty mani! Your nail length is so impressive! It's true, in the car has excellent lighting 😉 all those windows letting the light in 🌞

I hear ya about the lighting in the car @cuterme! Many of my best nail photos are in the car! Love this shade - it’s gorgeous! 

[JoSometimes]

I’m all for a car pic @cuterme! You get enough daylight without all the glare. And that shade of pink/red looks perfect! 

[Titian06]

That color is so flattering on you, @cuterme ! 🥰  Pink and gray is a great combo! 💖💖💖

[CookieGirl1]

@cuterme Lol, I do a lot of my nail pics in the car, too!  Gorgeous shade of pink.

[RGbrown]

@cuterme 

That color looks fantastic on you! And cars always seem to have fantastic light, it's a great place for a pic 😎 Welcome!

Found some orange polishes in my stash, new and old, that caught my eye.

Thumb: Two coats of Danglefoot Polish Zoltar Says Make Your Wish, an orange reflective glitter polish. The glitter/flakies in this are gold, copper, orange. I've applied two coats of top coat to make it extra glossy. Without the top coat, the polish feels textured.

Index: Essie Make No Concessions, two coats, a fun, glossy and shimmery, rustic pumpkin-y red-based orange.

Middle & Ring fingers: Gradient / ombre nails, done with the sponge tool. Both nails involved 3 different polishes - essie Make No Concessions and Danglefoot Polish Zoltar Says Make a Wish, and Atomic Gak (from PPU August 2020), a bright, glowy, neon orange with gold micro flakies.

Pinky: I tried layering / combining polishes like @WinglessOne  but it started getting glompy quickly. I should have exercised more patience and let the coats dry thoroughly before applying another layer of color. This is one coat of Danglefoot Polish Zoltar Says Make a Wish sandwiched between two layers each top and bottom of Atomic Gak,and topped with one-and-a-half coat of Sweet & Sour Lacquer Love That Chicken (Sandwich) (from PPU May 2021), an orange jelly base with orange, copper, green, gold and white holographic hex glitters scattered throughout.
