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! ❤️

Okay, hoping this mani stays intact through the weekend. 

Christmas 2023 Mani

Base Coat - Canmake Colorful Nails NNH Nail Hardener, a clear polish intended to protect nails from cracking and chipping.

Red - this is from Zoya, but I don't know which one specifically, because the label came off. Doh!!! It's a pretty, slightly shimmery red. 

White - Essie Blanc, a snowy white creme. I typically use a dotting tool but I jammed up a couple of fingers on my right hand (ever the klutz!) and it hurt to pick up the dotting tool, so I used the same nail art brush to do the white trip on the Santa hat, which is why it looks less crisp dots and more blurry and blobby. 

Top Coat - Glisten & Glow Top Coat

@itsfi  Oh I love your Santa hat !  It’s so perfect 🧑‍🎄🧑‍🎄  I can’t see anything wrong with it!  Your red is for sure so shiny ❤️❤️

[itsfi]

Awww, thank you @Cissy63! That is so very kind of you. This red is super; I need to wear it more often. 😍 

[Saradestin]

Wow! How stunning @itsfi!!!! ❤️❤️❤️ They are going to last for sure!! Merry Christmas!!🎄 

[itsfi]

Merry Christmas @Saradestin! 🎄 One more sleep; it’s holding on.

Out of all the injuries, hands and fingers are so hard because we use them for everything. I hope they are no longer feeling sore  🤕 💙@itsfi 

Okay a Santa Hat Mani is what's up 😀🎅 How cute are your fingers right now? This turned out great!

[itsfi]

@CynthieLu, thank you. It’s a fun mani to do. Hoping my nails are longer next year; I’ve never done a full hand of Santa hats … yet. 

[JoSometimes]

@itsfi A Santa hat French tip!? How cute! I actually like that it’s a brush. It gives the impression of being soft and fluffy like an actual santa hat. 🎅

Sorry to hear about your fingers. Hopefully it’s nothing serious! 🤞

[itsfi]

That's really kind of you to say @JoSometimes; thank you. The Santa hat mani will become an annual tradition - if I remember, that is. I nearly forgot about it this year. I'm always managing to do clumsy things so hopefully, it should be fine - just a little odd that the one finger is still sore and feeling strained. I'm sure it'll go away if I have a few days of not using it as much, which is the plan for the holiday weekend.

@itsfi You did an awesome job on this festive mani. The red is beautiful and the Santa hat 🎅 is super cute. Sorry to hear about your injury.

[itsfi]

Thanks so much @Mellmars1185! I wish I could find the label for the nail polish. 🤔 

I was moving things in and out and around with the remodel and had a momentary lapse of carelessness, but it just takes one, and my poor fingers took the brunt of it. It’s just the one finger now; the other two seemed to be all better. 

[Mellmars1185]

@itsfi Isn't that always the case?! I bet your remodel will be so nice when it is complete!! 

[itsfi]

Fingers crossed that the appliances arriving today will get into the house without a hitch @Mellmars1185! 🤞🤞 It'll be nice to be back in my own space. There will likely be a major declutter as I unpack; I'm actually hoping so.

Great Christmas mani, @itsfi ! 🎄⛄❄  I love the Santa hat! ❤❤❤

[itsfi]

Thank you @Titian06. The Santa hat is a fun one every year.

@itsfi 

Love love love.love.love.love the Santa hat accent! 🎅 Every time I see that design, I make a mental note to try it and then promptly forget 😂 so I'm thrilled to see it here. And your red is gorgeous! 

[itsfi]

Thank you @RGbrown! I almost forgot to do a Santa hat mani this year. It’s a fun one to do and gets a lot of smiles. I wish I knew which red this was. I think it might be Zoya Sarah??? 

[makeitup305]

@itsfi I love the little hat! Merry Christmas!

[itsfi]

Thank you @makeitup305; I may try to make a it a tradition to get in a Santa hat mani every year. 🤔 Merry Christmas! 

[happyskincare]

Wow I love these @itsfi ! And hopefully they’ll be in place for Christmas morning!❤️❤️❤️

[itsfi]

@happyskincare, thank you. Keeping my fingers crossed for that. 🤞🏼
