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! ❤️

If you haven't started wearing your neon polishes yet this summer, we need to have a little chat...
Cirque Colors "Kushy" and Cracked Polish "Cheeky Bottoms".

[CynthieLu]

Thanks for the chat @CookieGirl1 I need to start wearing my fun neons, message recieved. 😊

Oh em gee thou, how stunning and bright is this mani girl!! 💘

[CookieGirl1]

@CynthieLu I feel like I only wear my neon polishes in the summer and the rest of the year they just sit so I have to show my neon collection a little love RN 🙂

[CorgiMommy]

Love the green neon, so unexpected @CookieGirl1 

[jaaayp]

@CookieGirl1 GUILTY! I'm going to go and dig them out now though 😂

[CookieGirl1]

@jaaayp it's like some unspoken Nail Polish Law--you have to wear neons in the summer.  Go forth and paint.

LOL, @CookieGirl1 !  It isn't summer without seeing you in CC Kushy! 💚💚💚

[CookieGirl1]

@Titian06 You know it! 😉

Here's another mani.

Index, Middle, & Pinky:  PI Colors Uranus in Bloom.092.  Purple-gray with a rainbow of shimmer.  Three fussy coats.  I changed the brush to another brand, but it's just a smidge too long so it became misshaped.  I'm going to go back to the much shorter Cupcake Polish brushes.

Thumb & Ring:  PI Colors Twilight Moon.068.  Dusty gray-purple chrome.  Two fussy coats.  See why above.  I love this color and finish, even with the wonky brush!

Outdoors direct sunlight ☀️

so cute @Titian06 ! This is absolutely lovely with your skintone!!! 😍

[Titian06]

Awwww, thanks, @jaaayp ! 🤗

Love the purple nails, it is a shame it was so fussy as they look awesome @Titian06 

[Titian06]

Thanks, @CorgiMommy ! 💜💜💜

@Titian06 Gorgeous purple mani. Sorry to hear about the brush. Cupcake polishes go on really well. I didn't realize you could buy the brushes separately!

[Titian06]

Thanks, @Mellmars1185 !  Yes.  Many indies sell their brushes separately.  @RGbrown has a Nail Polish Brush Replacement Guide thread showing which brushes are good replacements for which brands.  This was the first place I checked!

Here's my 4th of July mani.

Base Color:  Cirque Colors Soleil.  Sheer pearlescent white with red shift.  Two super easy coats.  One coat would have been enough.  However, with my nail ridges (even with a ridge-filling base coat), a second coat looked more smooth and brought out the red shift.

Tips:  Maniology Rudolph.  Metallic red.  One layer stamped with Maniology Pardon My French stamping plate.  The second coat I free handed to cover some places the stamp missed and make the tips more vibrant.

Stars:  Zoya Maren.  Bright medium blue cream.  The larger stars stamped with the Kads Immature stamping plate.  The smaller stars stamped with the What's Up Simple Shapes stamping plate.

Here's the Cirque Colors Soleil by itself.

@Titian06 Beautiful and creative 4th of July mani! Happy belated! The red shade is very unique and the blue stars make the most perfect accent nail. The base shade is really pretty too!

[Titian06]

Thanks, @Mellmars1185 ! ❤️🤍💙  I really enjoyed this one!

Great color combo, @Mellmars1185 ! 💜💚💜💚  Glad you liked the show too!

[Mellmars1185]

@Titian06 Thank you kindly! It made me realize how much I love the green shade. I would like to get more use out of it 💚
