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! ❤️

Love love love your mix here! 😍 And your ombre is fantastic, I love that it's not the typical sponge look...it's got this intentional "oopsie" vibe of "whoops, dripped some polish in the wrong place and wiped it off but couldn't get it all in time"...artfully disheveled and simply delightful 💙💚

@WinglessOne Great nails! I like the neon and blue theme 💙💚. You made a really cool effect on ypur thumb and ring finger on your right hand.

This smile-inducing, blurple-leaning purple cream is Glisten & Glow, Beaches & Bikinis.  An easy two coater that was almost a one coater.  A few nails looked off compared to others.  A second coat fixed that.  The polish was a bit thick.  I added several drops of thinner, which made it easier to use.

@Titian06 I mention this EVERY. TIME. but omg I love your short nails and this color is dreamy and creamy!

[Titian06]

I don't mind you mentioning how much you love my short nails, @jaaayp ! 🤣  You are too kind! 😘

[CynthieLu]

Oh a lovely purple! 😍 

Very pretty @Titian06 💜

[Titian06]

Thanks, @CynthieLu ! 💜💜💜

This is a perfect blurple shade @Titian06! Another win for Glisten & Glow 💜

[Titian06]

Thanks, @itsfi ! 💜💜💜  I didn't think I got this color, so I must have vacillated when stocking my cart. 😄  I'm glad I got it though!

@Titian06 

Ahhhhhh, gorgeous! Love love love this bright and sunny purple! 💜💜 I've tried two of their creams now, and they were a tad thick too, but gave me a wonderfully plump end result, almost gel like. I've been staunchly against paying a premium for indie creams when I get most of my mainstream ones for under $5, but I might have to grab some shades that catch my eye from her again at some point!

[Titian06]

@RGbrown - Interesting you mention the plumping.  I hadn't noticed that until I looked at the tips head on.  I know this shade is on the sale page, but it's still more than $5. 😄

[RGbrown]

@Titian06 

Yeah, it's definitely a wait til a sale situation for me 😂

[WinglessOne]

@Titian06  I LOVE blurple. That one is beautiful on you! Glad you were able to thin it out to make it behave better. The payoff is worth the effort. 

[Titian06]

Thanks, @WinglessOne ! 💜💜💜

@Titian06 Beautiful shade. I never used nail polish thinner before. I wonder if they have some at Sally's?

[Titian06]

Thanks, @Mellmars1185 ! 💜💜💜  I use KBShimmer thinner; it was recommended by @RGbrown .  I looked on Sally's website and they do carry the OPI thinner that @WinglessOne recommends.

[Mellmars1185]

@Titian06 Thanks for your help 🙏

[WinglessOne]

@Mellmars1185  If you shop for thinner, look for OPI Nail Lacquer Thinner. I'm pretty sure Sally's still carries it. There are other thinners on the market, but OPI's is the most reliable for me, plus I don't have to worry about it eating away at glitter/flakes/confetti in certain polishes. Polish thinner is also a great way to make goopy top coats more usable again.

@WinglessOne Thanks so much
