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! ❤️

@ather 

Thanks so much! It's such a good holo 🌈✨

@RGbrown Amazing skittle mani. I am in awe with all of the shades but my favourite is ILNP in Underground 🩶💛🤎🖤

[RGbrown]

@Mellmars1185 

Thanks so much! I hate that Underground doesn't tickle my fancy because it is so well done...I do have to admit it's pretty, even if it isn't something I'd reach for 🖤✨

Outstanding mega skittle, @RGbrown ! 🥰  I prefer silver to gold as well.  I was inspired by @itsfi to purchase Deborah Lippmann Wow.  I have been trying to get Cirque Colors Tahitian Pearl, but it's always sold out.

@Titian06 

Thanks so much! 

I feel like I have a couple of close contenders for Tahitian Pearl, though they aren't necessarily easy to source either: Butter London Knackered looks extremely similar though is loooong discontinued, and I think OPI Not Like The Movies is probably close, minus the scattered holo (also long gone, but widely available on ebay, Mercari, etc). If you want more opaque coverage instead of sheer, Essie For The Twill Of It or Londontown Skyline Reflect have the same purple to green shift with fuller coverage. (Or ignore me always chasing the dupes and just get the one you want when you can... it's likely cheaper to just buy one and call it a day lol)

@peculiarzmakeup 

Thanks so much! 🤍🩶🖤✨

[itsfi]

Oooh, these are gorgeous. Like you, I prefer silver to gold @RGbrown. I only have a few silvers - Deborah Lippmann, Revlon and maybe one or two others. I don’t reach for them often with the Revlon being for stamping, but I love the look of the silvery right hand mani - I would buy ‘em all. Well, if I didn’t already have the DL and I wasn’t on a nail polish no buy. 😉

I love how the purple pulls through so strongly in the Tahitian Pearl. It’s like it wants to just stand out among the darker shades. 😝 

[RGbrown]

@itsfi 

Thanks so much! 

Good luck on your no buy! I've got no rules set for any sort of true low buy, but with nearly two months down, I've only purchased 20 polishes so far this year (well, and three more from HHC this month, but I don't officially tally them until they arrive). Woohoo!

[itsfi]

@RGbrown, I keep finding unopen packages with nail polish in them 😲, in addition to the polishes I know I still have to use. There must have been a time when I was packing things up when I went "forget, I'm just putting these in boxes and will deal with it later" instead of being more thoughtful and organized about where I put things. Well, now is dealing with it later time and it seems to mean finding polishes I forgot i ordered last year. 😂 Good news is that I haven't run into any duplicate orders. Ha! 

[RGbrown]

@itsfi 

Oh man, I couldn't even begin to imagine finding hidden treasure like that...the second I get nail mail, I'm ripping it open and swatching them up because I have no chill 😂 It sounds fun though, a little hide and seek present from past you!

[CookieGirl1]

@RGbrown I love the black holo polishes!  Those make such a statement in the sunlight.

[RGbrown]

@CookieGirl1 

Thanks so much! Black holo can be tricky; too much holo and it turns grey, but too little and it doesn't sparkle well, so I think Besame did a really nice job balancing this one perfectly 🖤🌈

[CookieGirl1]

@RGbrown totally agree with you, a lot of brands can't seem to get the base-to-particle ratio right on black holos but this one looks great.

[jaaayp]

So cute @RGbrown ! We all hate those dents..... 🫠

[RGbrown]

@jaaayp 

Thanks so much! 

I don't even know how it happened...I painted the middle nail next as usual, and then boom, there's a big old hole right smack in the middle of my index 🤦‍♀️

Me with naked crusty nails:🫣

[jaaayp]

White nails always make me feel so put together, even when Im not 😂
