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, I know, right?! I can't figure it out, but I'm using it as the curve / slant for a round shape nail on my next mani. And my longest fingernail broke this morning, while I was heading out the door. 😕 I took a pic so I could see how long my nail had grown. Bright side, it'll grow back.

I love the CG, @itsfi ! 💞  I think LBD Aries is gorgeous...I might be prejudiced since I have (and worn) that color. 😁  I agree that a sponge/makeup wedge may work better for the gradient.  You'll have a bigger surface and be able to load up (and dab off) the excess polishes.

If you have the Maniology Pardon My French plate, you can try using the large rectangle:  stripe all your colors, scrape over a few times to mix, and pick up with your stamper.

@Titian06, thank you. China Glaze Roses Are Thorns is a fun and fabulously vibrant shade; I’ve gotten asked about it by random strangers in store.

I started doing ombré nails a couple of years ago and I am sure it was beginner’s luck. Top coat is one of the keys for me. I used makeup wedges and latex polish on the skin around my nail bed until early last year I think it was and then went with these makeup sponge sticks worked better for me. I’ll go back and try the wedges again with some adjustments.

Thanks so much for the tip on stamping; I’ve made a note but I’m not ready quite yet to try ombré with a stamp. I’ll give stamping in general another try at some point before the year is over. 🤞🏼I did more of it in the earliest days of the pandemic; it’s on my list of things to re-try. That is a lengthier list than I expected. 😂

@itsfi that China Glaze pink is gorgeous!  That's definitely a perfect Summer pink 🙂

[itsfi]

It’s definitely a summer shade @CookieGirl1! 😊 Perfect for days like this when the sun has decided to hide. 🌥️ Not unusual for the city but hopefully the sun will come out later this afternoon. It made me think of you when I was applying it. It’s a CookieGirl1 neon in my mind!

I’ve never seen an orange nail polish that’s unique like this one before @Cissy63 ( it’s like a mix of orange and coral ) lovely nails 🧡

@Cissy63  This shade is so pretty! Do you find the polish lasts a lot longer than other brands? 

[CorgiMommy]

Those nails look amazing @Cissy63
