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! ❤️

That's too bad, @missjeanie !  Sorry about your broken nails too!

[missjeanie]

@Titian06 @Thanks! I’m going to try again. And luckily mine grow fairly quickly!

@missjeanie  Oh no bummer! Which brand do you normally use? 

[missjeanie]

@ather  I hate to admit it, but it’s Gelmoments, an MLM brand a friend was selling. I quite like the product normally, but have never tried using them beyond a basic one n done mani/pedi.

@missjeanie  Never heard of that brand! I’m sure you’ll find something that works!!

This is the last of the Clionadh Cosmetics Deep Sea Treasures set. This one is Sunken Treasure. It’s a gorgeous blue-purple shifty polish with 24k gold flecks. I didn’t know that at the time of purchase and now I almost don’t want to use it and keep it safe and stashed away! Really nice formula that could have taken 2 coats but I went with three for a really deep colour. 

Accent is Sinful Colours - Black on Black topped with Miniso Gold Cap - Bright Gold. Two coats of black and one quick swipe of topper.

OMG that teeny tiny baby bottle is so flippin' adorable! 😍 And the color is gorgeous! 

So funny that you mention real gold...I discovered a couple of weeks ago that OPI did some 18K toppers several years ago, found one fairly cheap, and ordered it immediately lol. A few other brands have done other 18K and 24K polishes over the years too, and Glitter Unique has some real silver flakies I'm debating picking up at some point. Luxe ingredients can be so much fun! ✨

[JoSometimes]

@RGbrown I didn’t even catch that it was real gold until I saw a little sticker on the bottle! It’s part of a trio of little mini bottles. 

I can’t wait to see what you picked up! 

[CorgiMommy]

@JoSometimes your nails look awesome, love the blue

[JoSometimes]

Thank you @CorgiMommy! Blue is such an interesting colour to wear. It really stands out!

[caitbird]

@JoSometimes  omg look at that shift 😍 beautiful!

[JoSometimes]

@caitbird It’s so hard to capture it fully! It can go to a really deep purple at certain angles. And even the tiny gold glitters can fully disappear or shine brightly as I move around. 

[CynthieLu]

I think you saved the best for last out of your trio from Clionadh @JoSometimes, the gold pieces really sparkle ✨💖 

[JoSometimes]

@CynthieLu I think this might be my favourite one! The drive home today was so amusing watching it shift and change in the sun.

@JoSometimes Beautiful mani. Wow actual 24k gold?!? The bottle is soooo cute.

[JoSometimes]

@Mellmars1185 I know right!? It’s little flecks of gold leaf. I feel like I will need to keep the cotton balls after I remove this polish because of the gold. 

[Saradestin]

These are stunning @JoSometimes!! 😍 They combine perfectly!!!

[JoSometimes]

@Saradestin Thank you! I had something different in my head but had to pivot. I still love the end result.

[CookieGirl1]

Those colors are really pretty, @JoSometimes.

[JoSometimes]

Aww thanks @CookieGirl1!

@JoSometimes  So fun!
