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! ❤️

Thank you @caitbird! I love the pairing of a softer, simple neutral base color and the sparkly pop of the rhinestones. The former gives my nails a fresh, clean, sophisticated feel to them and the stones, well, add some oomph without being too much.

@itsfi  Oooo these are gorgeous! I love the decals! What shades have you tried? I’m trying to get a vision of what exactly you are looking for. Maybe we can narrow down what you might be looking for by crossing off the ones you don’t think match? 

[itsfi]

@ather, most of my sheers have more beige undertones to them. I have a couple with pink tones that I like - OPI Baby, Take a Vow and Essie Mademoiselle but even if I layer 4 coats they are more on the sheer, less on the milky side. Totally fine there as I love both for other mani looks. I have found a couple that I think will get me the look I want 🤞🏼 without having to pile on too many layers. Hailey Bieber did a mani similar to it; I’ll have see if I can find the photo again - it of course eludes me when I need it. 😆

@itsfi  Hmmm the hunt is still on. I wonder if I have seen that mani also. I will keep my eye out for the picture of that mani also!!

Try Essie Arctic jelly

[itsfi]

Ahhh, I saw this Essie collection in Target the other day and was intrigued by a couple shades. Adding this to the list for my next Target run 😉; thanks so much for the recommendation @07Yaya! Is there any other shade from their jelly line that you like?

[Titian06]

Gorgeous, @itsfi !  Did you use a top coat before or after adding the gemstones (or no TC)?

[itsfi]

@Titian06, thank you. I usually sandwich my nail art between top coats. I apply base coat, color and top coat and let that dry. Sometimes I let a day go by as well. Then I’ll add my nail sticker(s) and add another layer (or two) of top coat. For something that’s raised a bit, like these gems, I’ll also dab some top coat on top of the rhinestone(s). They last longer if I reapply top coat every other day but I’m not always so disciplined.

Thanks so much, @itsfi ! 😘

This is cute with a dash of whimsy @itsfi ✨🩷 You mani's are really beautifully done.

Oh I agree, I hope these stickers make a comeback! 

[itsfi]

I think there’s a chance they could come back @CynthieLu; I’ve seen rewards pop back up now and again, some at more frequent intervals than others. 🤞🏼

Beautiful mani! It looks excellent 💅 @itsfi 

[itsfi]

Thank you @peculiarzmakeup! I liked that these rhinestones could add a little something extra to my mani without too much time and effort. 

[CookieGirl1]

@itsfi those are so cute!  I love the little rhinestones.

[itsfi]

@CookieGirl1, thank you. The rhinestones added some pizzazz to my mani.

GLL "The Blind Bandit"

[caitbird]

@CookieGirl1  ooooh, this color is *gorgeous* 😍

[ather]

@CookieGirl1  Great colour! 

[itsfi]

@CookieGirl1, the way the light picks up the shift on that polish is nice.

[CynthieLu]

Hold the phone!! Those nails are a knockout 🤩🤩 @CookieGirl1 I saw this thumbnail from the main page and had to come check them out. That color is gorgeous. 💚✨

[CookieGirl1]

@CynthieLu awwww, thank you.  I hadn't worn it in a minute but it was calling to me.
