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! ❤️

@ather, I wonder if perhaps my hasty application was a factor in my hair getting caught in these press-ons. I’ve worn a couple of pairs from this brand and didn’t have a problem with those. Hmmm … more research needed. 🧫 🧪 🔬 

[ather]

@itsfi  I could see that being the issue but it’s hard to say! I’m sure more testing is needed! It’s good these ones seem to fit and the length is perfect 😍 

[CynthieLu]

Press ons to the rescue! @itsfi They look great! I would never have guessed you put them on in a hurry. 🩷 

[itsfi]

So true @CynthieLu - press-ons are a good thing to have on hand. I'm less scared of them as I once was, though I'm still trying to figure 'em out and how they fit into my mani routine. Awww, thank you. I've been feeling rushed and hurried with all sorts of things these past few weeks, so the last minute press-on shouldn't have been too much of a surprise, but I have given myself a little "time out" since being back home and am working on getting back to a cadence that is more comfortable for me (and more preferred by me). 😆

@itsfi  these are so cute! Very classic and classy with the French tips. Glad I could inspire your press-on journey, haha!

[itsfi]

I love how much inspiration is to be had on BIC @caitbird. Your idea for using press-ons was a great one and so fruitful too. I know it's helped me with my own nails. Thank you, thank you!

[Mellmars1185]

@itsfi I loved your SEPHORiA nails! They kept catching my eye. I need to try these soon. I will keep an eye out for this brand! 

No, I didn't take a pic of my nails when I first got them done...but I should while they are still on! Thanks for the reminder! More to come above!

[itsfi]

Awww, thanks @Mellmars1185! I was bummed I wasn’t able to do a Sephoria mani but this turned out fine. I’m working on paring down my nail polish collection; well, I’ve been working on it for years now 😝 ideally I’ll have a mix of go to polishes, designer and indie brands, and some press-ons. I haven’t tried shellac before but I hear people really enjoy them, and dip too. So many options. 

[Mellmars1185]

@itsfi I hear you on trying to reduce the collection. I need to do the same. If I didn't have so many polishes, I would probably do shellac more. I probably won't redo it when it grows out just because I need to use what I have. I also don't like using nail polish remover on my toenails when wearing shellac because it ruins it.

[Titian06]

These look pretty, @itsfi !  I still haven't tried press ons even though I have a couple of sets. 😅

[itsfi]

@Titian06, French tips are classic; and the press-ons are easier to work with than doing French tips myself, so these were great for that. 👍🏼 

[ather]

So I got bored of the other nails and decided to try another set! These are also Olive and June and this time I tried the glue! 

 hard to see the design but it is called Smoke signals I believe! 

[peculiarzmakeup]

These are gorgeous on you! Love how they look with your shirt beautiful color and design @ather 

[ather]

@peculiarzmakeup  Thank you! I’ve been having fun with Halloween inspired manis! 

[CynthieLu]

I can see the design! @ather, this is very pretty with a mysterious kind of vibe. 🔮😍

[ather]

@CynthieLu  Thank you! 

[Titian06]

This set is gorgeous, @ather ! 🥰  I love the color and design.

[ather]

@Titian06  Thank you! 😊 

[CorgiMommy]

Spoiler

@ather those are lovely 

[ather]

@CorgiMommy  Thank you! 😊 

[caitbird]

@ather  beautiful set, perfect for fall! I am also curious to know how these work for you, and if you end up preferring the stickers/tabs or the glue. I just ordered some stuff from Olive & June, so looking forward to trying this brand!
