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! ❤️

Here's my next mani.  I tried something a little (OK, a lot) different for me.

Thumb & Ring:  Hearts & Promises Costa Hummingbird PPU February 2024.  A gorgeous dark dusty purple-gray with rainbow holo and purple flakies.  Three easy coats.  Two was probably enough, but I went with three since I would need three for the Cirque.

Index:  Deborah Lippmann Love Hangover.  A beautiful deep plum cream.  Two easy coats.  One was enough, but I added a second to even out rough areas on my nails.  It did a great job doing so!

Middle & Pinky:  Cirque Colors Deja Vu.  A pretty light purple-gray with scattered holo.  Three easy coats.  A very sheer polish that required three coats for the  opacity I like.

All nails topped with Glisten & Glow Matte top coat.  Aside from trying on one nail once, I've not used a matte TC.  I like how it looks on H&P and DL; the Cirque is not the best finish to use a matte.  I'm glad I gave this a go! 🙂

@Titian06  I love these purples! The colours look perfect together! 

[Titian06]

Thanks, @ather ! 💜💜💜  You can't go wrong with purples! 😄

@Titian06  Oh my these look great.  I'm not a fan of matte tc, but it works on these colors. 🙂

[Titian06]

Thanks, @Cissy63 ! 💜💜💜  Yea, I'm not crazy about a matte tc either, but it's fun to play around. 🙂

Such a gorgeous mix of moody purple shades 💜💜✨ I love the matte topcoat on them as well! I don't use mine very often either, maybe I should pull it out soon 🤔

[Titian06]

Thanks, @RGbrown ! 💜💜💜  Are moody purples anything like The Moody Blues? 🤣  OK, bad joke!

Feeling aligned with @Mellmars1185 mani 💅🏼 great minds think alike! My first time in a looong time with short nails - I’ve officially taken a break from acrylics and am prioritizing my natural nails health ☺️
