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! ❤️

@jaaayp  Aww that sounds perfect! I need a digital detox!!! 

My hair feels better but I’m not sure if the serum helped. I used the OUAI Hydrating Scalp Serum for Healthy, Fuller Looking Hair 2 oz / 60 mL  before and I think I noticed way more difference with it!! 

Did you travel for work or fun??

[jaaayp]

For fun 🙃 celebrating my birthday. You only age once a year! Hehe. OMG @ather I'm picking this up today when it goes on 50% off. GOOD TO KNOW that you like it!! You do.. like it...right? LOL

[ather]

@jaaayp  It’s soooo good. I love it!! 😍 I also believe @itsfi  loves it too!! 

[itsfi]

You know it @ather! I went through a bottle last year - it was part of my picks for last year’s pan it! challenge @jaaayp - started seeing results (and others, like my hair stylist, did too) about half way, a little more than half way through the bottle. Picked up and working through my second. 👍🏼 

[ather]

@itsfi  Yay! I’ve got it in my cart! 

[jaaayp]

YAAAY @ather @itsfi we will be OUAI sisters. I think we should recruit @itsfi to join our haircare journey this year @ather 😂😂😂 BTW have you guys heard of divi? That's going on 50% off too (I can't fathom spending regular price) and was wondering if I should pick that up. I assume OUAI won't last a whole year 🤔 divi has a crap ton of great reviews but.. you know, I need a real person to confirm 🤣

[ather]

@jaaayp  Yay!!! We should! I think the Ouai lasted me 6 months! But maybe longer. I’ve never heard of Divi but I’m in Canada and we don’t always get the cool stuff. I don’t think we got the 50% off either. 

[jaaayp]

What! 🫨 I didn't realize sales and promos are different in Canada @ather ! Do you guys also not have Ulta?!?!? 

[ather]

@jaaayp  very different sales. We get the big ones like the 20% rouge sales but not the others. Sometimes we will get some but not usually the 50% off ones. Theres no Ulta where I live. I don’t believe we have one in Canada but maybe in a bigger city. The closest Sephora is 2.5 hours from where I live. I use to live in the big city but my husband is military and we got moved to a small town! We don’t have much here. A couple grocery stores and a Walmart. There’s not even a Starbucks where I live 🤣 we had a super cute downtown shopping but sadly most stores closed last year. Which is super sad. 😢 I’m stuck to online shopping now! 

[jaaayp]

Whaaaaa 😮 @ather I think it hasn't crossed my mind that folks live in small towns! I mean I am very privileged and live in urban city where I have like 4 targets in 5 mile radius... I live like 1 mile away from a sephora kohls and 4 miles from a sephora. So there's no ulta.com in Canada?!??! HOW DO YOU FIND YOUR SHADES ONLINE?!??!! although ngl, I feel like small town living us the dream (I'm imagining people baking their own bread and growing their own fruits) 🤔 I mean as convenient as I live, I order 90% of things online anyway, I'm there with you sista!

[ather]

@jaaayp  Shade matching is so hard. I normally buy a shade and hope for the best! If I go to the city I could get matched but I’ve found a few different brands I know my shades for the most part! I do make my own bread. And I have a garden where I grow my own veggies and fruit!! But it’s good! 😊 

[jaaayp]

OMG!!! @ather I'm very jealous. I always see/watch these bloggers living in the woods or out in the farm and they have a very quiet/calm life while I'm just like hearing traffic outside, trying to fall asleep LOL YOURE LIVING THE ROMANTIC LIFE BAKING BREAD AND GROWING THEM FRUITS 👏👏👏👏👏

At least sephora offers great returns... who care about foundation when you have the luxury of city-free life 😂😂😂😂

[ather]

@jaaayp  I guess that’s a great way to look at it! 

[itsfi]

@jaaayp @ather, digital detoxes are great! It take some getting used to, but I look forward to them now. I went through the Ouai serum in about 8 months the first time I used it. This second bottle may take longer because I’m rotating other products into my hair care routine.

Time for something bright and colorful after my last set 💜🩷🧡

These are all from China Glaze's Deserted collection (fall 2023 iirc) and were mostly all three coaters

Bring The Heat: gorgeous orange shimmer, smooth easy formula but a touch sheer. It bubbled a little on my pinky but not my thumb, so I'm not sure what to think of that...perhaps I just didn't clean enough off the brush for my smallest nail and got it too thick?

Alpenglow: rich fuchsia shimmer, another smooth and easy one, and this one only needed two coats.

Sky Of Lavender: dusty lavender with glass fleck bits that can look pink and blue under certain lighting (this won't be something obvious to anyone but you most likely, but I spent a fair amount of time out in the dark last night, standing near my outside light and admiring the tiny colorful pinpoints lol). Another sheer one, this took three coats for opacity.

Twilight Desert: hubba hubba, this is the most vibrant royal purple and I am in love 💜💜 same glass fleck as in the lavender, giving it a lovely sparkle in the right light. Three coats as well.

Gloomy overcast daylight

Indirect light 

[jaaayp]

Wow the sheen on these @RGbrown ! They somehow still remind me of skittles but maybe like the dark version 🤔🤔🤔

[RGbrown]

@jaaayp 

Thanks so much! 💜🧡💖

[Saradestin]

 Very beautiful @RGbrown! Your colors are always so perfectly combined! ❤️

[RGbrown]

@Saradestin 

Aw shucks, thanks, but CG deserves the credit for picking out this mix 😂💖💜🧡

[itsfi]

Ohhhh, the glass flecks are gorgeous @RGbrown! Love how vibrant these colors are and how well they go together. Like with so many nail polish combinations, I'm pretty sure I wouldn't put these together on my own, but when I see your mani's, they just naturally go together!

@itsfi 

China Glaze did all the color coordination for me on this set 😂 They did a nice job with it!
