[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 so much I looked at the bottom of the polish and it read “Amore at the grand central 5” such a unique name! Yes it’s beautiful I love the rush of pink and design! Great eye! 💕💅 @itsfi

Wow, you are going all out, @peculiarzmakeup !  First a non-brown lipstick, now red nail polish.  What's next?

[peculiarzmakeup]

Your comment made me 😁 thank you so much! Stepping out of comfort zone is so rewarding 💕 @Titian06

A huge cheer for you stepping out of your comfort zone! @peculiarzmakeup 🥳💖🥳

It is not easy but sooo rewarding. A bright red mani is a beautiful one to try. I love yours! 

[peculiarzmakeup]

Thank you so much! I love the deep red of this shade it doesn’t look so in the picture but it’s really rich it was certainly fun! I appreciate it ❤️💅 @CynthieLu

It's great that you stepped out of your comfort zone @peculiarzmakeup. It's not always easy to do. 👏👏

Here's my next mani.

Thumb & Ring:  Glisten & Glow Earth Angel.  A gorgeous dusty rosewood cream.  Two easy coats.

Index:  Zoya Adina.  A stunning violet metallic that shifts from green to reddish-pink.  Two super easy coats.

Middle & Pinky:  Mooncat Freudian Slip.  A lovely purple-mauve cream.  Two fussy coats.  This was more of a brush issue I think.  It seemed rather fluffy, so held on to a lot of polish, applying too much polish while at the same time applying with streaks.

DND Pearly Pink - I'm still on my quest to find a “not too sheer” but “not fully opaque” polish that is a mix of a slightly milky and slightly pearlescent finish. I know, it’s a very specific shade I’m looking for. This isn’t quite it. One coat of polish left some thin spots so a second coat helped with evening the look of the polish. This shade at 2 layers is a pretty one, but a smidge more opaque than I was hoping for. 🤔 The search continues … 

Added some gemstones from the Deco Beauty x Sephora Collection “Flirt” Nail Art Stickers (Rewards Bazaar - 100 points) 💅 Looks like it might be out of stock now; maybe more will resurface at another time.

@itsfi  I love this mani! I know I commented on your post in the Rewards Bazaar thread, but I'll say it again - the combination of simple and chic nude/neutral polish with the fun sparkle of the rhinestones/gems is a winning combo! Love to see what you're doing with those Deco Beauty stickers!

[itsfi]

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?
