[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! ❤️

Fabulous! I love your starry lavender mix! 💜⭐

This is Art of the Swoon by LBD

A deep purple polish with magnetic shifts from blue to purple and pink. It has pink to green shifting flakes and a scattering of holo sparkle throughout. ✨️ 

I attempted the cat eye effect with this

You can see a bit of the blue shift 💙

You have a gorgeous galaxy on your nails @CynthieLu; so magnetic!! 😉 

[CynthieLu]

Thank you @itsfi 😄🌌

[WinglessOne]

@CynthieLu  Oh, nice to see this one in action! It was on my LynB wishlist for a short while. Good job with band (cat eye) pull: that really brought out the blue and fuchsia. 

[CynthieLu]

Thank you @WinglessOne I like this one alot,  I finally ordered a proper nail magnet. 🧲 I want to see my magnetic polishes done with something more better suited to the task. Lol 🙃 

Sidenote, I'd love to hear what is on your LBD wish list 😉

[WinglessOne]

@CynthieLu  Hope you have fun with your new magnet! What kind of magnet is it? 

Funny you should ask about my LynB wishlist: I just placed an order because one of my wishlist polishes was dangerously low in stock, so my list is now pared down a bit. 😄 

I already have and love a couple shades from The Sticker collection. The 3 on my list have been there for months because I'm trying to talk myself out of 1 of them—which is pointless because I know deep down I'll probably end up with all 3 anyway, eventually. 

Quoth the Raven's also a longtime wishlist resident. It's here mainly because I want to try another LynB cream polish. The only one I have is a thermal cream and it's wonderfully squishy plush looking, almost like a gel polish. I keep saying I'll add it to cart during one of the 50% sales but here I am, still not doing that. Probably because I know I don't need another black cream. 

The Brat Prince is similar to something I already own, so I'm still trying to talk that one off my wishlist. 

[CynthieLu]

I know it will have a learning curve, I ordered this one from Clionadh

 

It says it is double sided and has a cross pattern, it may take multiple attempts to get it down. 😄

Ooh thank you for sharing those @WinglessOne ! (Brat Prince does look good.🤩) I can't wait to see what you grabbed this sale 😁

All of her totally awesome collection (I think) say they can be used for water marbling, I would love to attempt that some day. 

[WinglessOne]

@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. 

[CynthieLu]

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 🌌

[RGbrown]

@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 😉

[JoSometimes]

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

[CynthieLu]

I'm drawn too this type of polish, I think i have 2 similar to this one and I just love this style and combo of colors togeather 💜🖤💚 @JoSometimes 

[cuterme]

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!

My favorite nail shape : )
