Show Me Your Nails 2.0

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!

Re: Show Me Your Nails 2.0

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

Re: Show Me Your Nails 2.0

Here's my next mani.

 

Thumb & RingGlisten & Glow Earth Angel.  A gorgeous dusty rosewood cream.  Two easy coats.

 

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

 

Middle & PinkyMooncat 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.

I love Adina...I can't stop looking at it, @itsfi ! 💜💜💜

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.

Re: Show Me Your Nails 2.0

@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!

Re: Show Me Your Nails 2.0

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. 

Re: Show Me Your Nails 2.0

@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? 

Re: Show Me Your Nails 2.0

@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. 😆 

Re: Show Me Your Nails 2.0

@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!! 

Re: Show Me Your Nails 2.0

@ather, I think I found it. 🔍 OPI Bare My Soul - this is 4 coats. It's described as a mix of sheer mauve and sheer beige - sooooo sheer meige? or bauve? 🤣 It's a sheer rosy-mauve-pink that can I build up to a milky, slightly opaque finish. 💗 Between this, OPI Baby, Take a Vow, Deborah Lippmann Iconic Treatment-enriched Nail Polish Naked, and Essie Mademoiselle (and the others in my stash I discovered while digging through my nail polish bins 😅), I should be good with my sheer neutrals. 💅 Going to set this one aside for a future mani.

Re: Show Me Your Nails 2.0

@itsfi  Is this the perfect colour you are looking for? 

Re: Show Me Your Nails 2.0

It’ll do @ather. I’m happy that 4 coats doesn’t make this thick and unwieldy. I’ll have to use it with some nail art to see if it gets me the effect I’m looking for. I really wish I had kept a pic of that Hailey Bieber mani. Note to self …
