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! ❤️

My nails are on the short side too @gremsnpusheen  They are long now but I'm returning to work soon and that means short again 🤗

I will defintley try this,  I love sparkly toppers and the effect @RGbrown makes with them 🤩🤩

"I'm about tired of jellies" says the woman that won't stop buying jellies 😂 I managed to snag a decent deal on the Ella+Mila jelly set not too long ago, so of course I snatched it up (even though I had easily talked myself out of it several times before. What is wrong with me? 🤨)

Jelly means sheer, and oh boy did E+M take that to a whole new level; I would agree with the argument that most of Cirque's jellies are actually crellies...they can build up to decent or even full opacity at three coats, but definitely not the E+M ones...most of these fall into the clear with a hint of tint category and will never ever get opaque. Knowing that, I started off all nails with one layer of Londontown Illuminating Nail Concealer (and I wish I had done two for better stain correction, especially on my left hand).

All nails are 

1x Londontown concealer 

1x jelly

1x Ella+Mila 9th Street roughly 3/4 of the way up the nail (confetti glitter topper in various colors and sizes)

1x jelly 

1x China Glaze Fairy Dust roughly halfway up the nail (fine holo glitter topper)

1x jelly 

From pinky to index on my right hand, then index to pinky on my left, the colors are:

Suga Suga: red-violet, and the best pigmentation of the bunch

Pink Sand Beach: light bubblegum pink

Watermelon Jelly Rancher: deeper pink with a hint of coral/melon

Spread The Love: soft orange sherbet 

Lemon Drop: bright yellow

So-lime: green, but kinda sickly looking; I think my staining affects it a bit

Tooti Fruiti Lover Boy: bright blue, also a touch sickly from my staining

PB Jelly Time: bright lavender purple

I nearly forgot to take pics today (what?), so dusky late evening light it is

@RGbrown  Omg you are so funny!! Done with jelly’s but keep buying them 🤣 I love it! This mani is so fun. I love that it is showcasing all kinds of pretty jellies! Tooti fruiti boy is my fav! 

[RGbrown]

@RGbrown Stunning jelly rainbow mani. The name alone for Watermelon Jelly Rancher would have sold me! 🌈

[RGbrown]

@Mellmars1185 

Thanks so much! I definitely love the name of that one in particular 🍉

@RGbrown, I find myself going back and forth on jelly polishes a lot - I'm a fan, I'm not a fan. I want another one; I'm done with picking up any more. But whenever you post a jelly mani, I'm all on board. Same here - this jelly mani is sensational. The toppers really add a whole extra layer of fabulousness to them. 😍

[RGbrown]

@itsfi 

Thanks so much! I want them all, but I'm tired of layering 😂 Looking forward to some easy two coaters soon, then I'll break some of these sheers out again lol

[Titian06]

Beautiful, @RGbrown ! 🤩  You may be getting tired of jellies, but I'm loving your jelly sandwiches! 🥰

[RGbrown]

@Titian06 

Thanks so much!

I dunno what's wrong with me, I can't stop buying them...just got my Cirque order in today too, and hey, it's five more jellies 😂

[makeitup305]

@RGbrown your hard work paid off, they look so fun!

[RGbrown]

@makeitup305 

Thanks so much! I wasn't super happy with it last night, but it has grown on me! 🌈

First time doing my nails in months. ILNP Rainshower, using their base and top coat also. It's held up so well. 5 days and barely any chips. Excuse the cuticles.
