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! ❤️

Thank you @CynthieLu! They’re super adorable. My girls started watching Hello Kitty clips on YouTube as a result. It also takes me back to my childhood and even my teenage years. I proudly used a Hello Kitty wallet in high school/university.

@JoSometimes Beautiful Hello Kitty nails. Thwy do not look false.

[JoSometimes]

Thank you @Mellmars1185! The Crème shop does not disappoint. 😊

These are so cute, @JoSometimes !  The length is very flattering on you.  I love the red thumb with white French tip--great idea. 🙂

[JoSometimes]

Thank you @Titian06! I do like the length, though I’m quickly realizing why people with long nails sometimes do tasks a little differently. 😅

@JoSometimes 

Ooo, these are adorable, and the length is great for you!

I've seen the question of wider widths asked a few times, but haven't really seen anyone answer it 😕 The ones you saw at the drugstore, maybe check their website and see if they offer any other lengths/styles there? And if you feel up to playing, you could always repaint the meh styles to something you like better.

[JoSometimes]

@RGbrown For the drugstore ones, the width works but the length is the same as my actual nails. They don’t list anything longer online.

Thanks for letting me know I could just repaint the meh ones. I found one set on Amazon, but it gives me cow vibes and I’m not about it. I’ll just paint them to suit my style!

Oh yay, fun project!

I received this message today from Polish Pickup 

 
oh so many beautiful polishes this month!

[Mellmars1185]

@Cissy63 So exciting! I just received my order today. I posted it in Astonishing August Hauls 2023 

[Cissy63]

@Mellmars1185  Oh good!  Mine is at home unopened yet.  We left for our RV Campground when it arrived so I will open and post later.  They have so many colors and types to search 🥰

[Mellmars1185]

@Cissy63 Enjoy your trip!!!

Feels like an eternity since I've started with a purple, so that was my first pick for this one (though in reality, it's only been a month since I've done a heavily purple mani lol) 💜💜 I'm also a bit tired of layering multiple coats of jellies and toppers for the moment, so I went for a couple of quick and easy shades this time.

Glisten & Glow Bing Bong Bing Bong: vibrant royal purple base with pink/purple and green/gold shifting flakies, hot pink glitters, and a dash of holo dust. My camera didn't pick them up really at all, but the green flakies are pretty vibrant IRL, providing a nice contrast against the deep purple background. Super super easy two coater.

Zoya Vega: medium grey pixie dust with chunky holo glitter and the signature matte textured finish. Perhaps a touch dirtier than I realized, and I might have appreciated something a hair brighter/cleaner with this vivid purple, but all in all, it's a fun shade even if my pairing wasn't perfect. This was a three coater for opacity, but the lack of need for topcoat saved me a step at the end and balanced things out.

I'm horribly late to replying (eeek! So sorry!) but this mani is making me super happy @RGbrown! Two of my favorite polish shades ~ purple & gray. That there's so much fantastic sparkle to each? Well, I'm grinning from ear to ear at this beautiful mani! 😍

P.S. Your comment that Vega was "Perhaps a touch dirtier than I realized" made me love it even more! Ha! 💗

[RGbrown]

@itsfi 

There you are! Was starting to wonder if you'd abandoned us lol (but I know life gets in the way sometimes)! Thanks so much!  🖤💜

[itsfi]

Abandon y'all? Noooo! Life's hiccups pop up at the most interesting times. 🤣 I'm almost caught up with posts on this thread - so many beautiful mani's - and will try to put up a mani post before the day is over. 🤞

@RGbrown  So pretty! Vega is so fun and the halo!!! 

[RGbrown]

@ather @makeitup305 @jaaayp 

Thanks so much y'all! 💜✨

[jaaayp]

Omg @RGbrown we really are in sync! LOL I took a break from jellies for the same reason 😂😂🤣🤣😅 I love your sparkles! I actually bought sparkles to try next week. Imma tag you hehe 🥰❤️

[makeitup305]

@RGbrown I love these! Sparkles for days!

[Cissy63]

@RGbrown  Oh sooo gorgeous!
