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

Ooh beautiful mash up of colors @NWW123 πŸ€Ž Did you paint these yourself? 

Re: Show Me Your Nails 2.0

No. Thank you ! 

Re: Show Me Your Nails 2.0

They look so natural 😍 @NWW123 

Re: Show Me Your Nails 2.0

@NWW123 Lovely mani. I love the shades you chose 🀎🀍

Re: Show Me Your Nails 2.0

@Mellmars1185 Thank you!
I always struggle with natural shades .. but this is fun! 

Re: Show Me Your Nails 2.0

I got my first Glow In The Dark polish from Lynn B Designs. It came as part of her Beetle Juice Halloween Advent Box this year.

The shade is a very sheer pink with a blurple shift, it's called Draw A Door.

This is just two coats, I think if I wear this again I would try it over a colored base to get some more opacity. I don't mind sheer but I think I would prefer this one less see through. πŸ‘» 

I didn't know what to expect, but look at that glow!

But I wasn't done, I have been itching to try out some Beauty Insider Stickers. I can't wear polish at work so this 3 day weekend is a great unmissable opportunity. 

Look at these cuties!  @itsfi posted some advice about using tweezers on her first post with these I believe. I did follow her suggestions and I put a clear OPI top coat over. They are so cute, I really hope these stickers come to the stores, they are just fun!! πŸ’–

Re: Show Me Your Nails 2.0

Love this! Gorgeous mani! So cool how it changes color or glows in the dark that’s amazing and so fun! @CynthieLu 

Re: Show Me Your Nails 2.0

@CynthieLu, the shift on that base color leaves a lovely irridescent shift. It glows in the dark?!! That's a fun extra touch. The heart stickers are super cute. Hope you had a fabulous long weekend!

Re: Show Me Your Nails 2.0

It was my first GITD polish, I don't know if it was a fluke or it is how this type regularly works, but yikes was this polish ever stubborn to remove. 🫣 Thank youuuu! They were such a cute and fun set. My niece loved them so I'm hoping we can have a mani night together soon. πŸ’•

Re: Show Me Your Nails 2.0

@CynthieLu  These are so fun!! Love the stickers. Bummer you can’t wear polish to work! 

Re: Show Me Your Nails 2.0

I make sure to enjoy polish when I do get a good chance at it @ather πŸ˜‰ 

Re: Show Me Your Nails 2.0

GITD polishes are fun, aren't they, @CynthieLu?  I haven't had one in years but I was so tempted to pick one up from Fancy Gloss this year.

Re: Show Me Your Nails 2.0

Thank you lady! I've never had one and definitely admired them in the past. The kid in me is thrilled about it. πŸ˜‰ @CookieGirl1 I think during spooky season it feels extra fitting maybe? I say go for it lol. They are just a smile waiting to happen. πŸ˜ƒ

Re: Show Me Your Nails 2.0

@CynthieLu This is such a pretty shade! The glow in the dark effect is so neat ✨️! The stickers make this mani extra special! I am looking forward to seeing the other shades that came in this collection!

Re: Show Me Your Nails 2.0

Thank you @Mellmars1185 I'm like a giant kid. I had so much fun with these!! Stickers and GITD, sooo rad!

 

Speaking of The Halloween Advent, She had 4 special effect polishes in this box I think. 

1 magnetic, 1 crackle, 1 GITD and 1 Thermal. 

There were 2 that I think are special effects a Reflective and a Solar but I'm not really what a solar polish is truthfully. πŸ˜…

 

I think I remember you saying you hoped that there would be more simple or one color shades and less glitter bombs? I can report there are no simple shades, some are less glittery than others but they ask have some kind of sparkle or shine.✨πŸͺ©

Re: Show Me Your Nails 2.0

@CynthieLu - A solar polish is activated by the sun.  It's one color indoors/in the shade and changes color when in the sun.  Like a thermal polish changes colors in hot and cold water or temperatures.

Re: Show Me Your Nails 2.0

Noooo waaaaay!! My mind's blown right now @Titian06 I've never heard of this before. Oooh I gotta try it this weekend! I hope it's sunny πŸ˜…πŸ˜€

Thank you for demystifying this! πŸ™πŸ™

Re: Show Me Your Nails 2.0

@CynthieLu You have a great memory! That is exciting there are 4 special effects polishes. That is new and exciting! I love the theme this year. Do you find that the names fit the theme of the movie? Or just the names? My plan in 2025 is to do some major panning and make some major dents in my whole collection. If I do make some progress, maybe I will allow myself to get the advent calendar next year.

Re: Show Me Your Nails 2.0

Ooooh that reminds me, I wanted to tell you, guess what? I had to pay duties on my polish for the first time ever. @Mellmars1185 It was a surprise.

I think it was about 35-40$. It ended up being a informative conversation with the ladies at the post office. 

They told me due to like Canadian government things, that we are paying duties and almost everything now. They said for thier customers getting mail this year, that people are getting dinged with duties on everything. 

It reminded me about your experience with Look Fantastic. 

 

Re: Show Me Your Nails 2.0

@CynthieLu Sorry to hear you had to pay duties. I have had to pay them on all of my LynB orders and all but one Polish Pickup order. Just another reason to shop my stash!

Re: Show Me Your Nails 2.0

Can I ask how long have you been paying duties? This year was the first year I ever got dinged on LBD. @Mellmars1185 

Your right, it's another great reason to shop the stash. It's just so hard when do many good things come from other countries right? πŸ˜…πŸ™ˆ
