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! ❤️

Love the colour @itsfi! I had this exact blue in mind for the future. Taking note of this one. 💙

[itsfi]

Thank you @JoSometimes! Blues are such a beautiful polish shade. I feel like with this one, my stash of blues is good - though that might not stop me from picking up a few more blues along the way. 😄

@itsfi I love this mani! The blue is soooo pretty 🩵. The daisy design looks just perfect with the blue. I like the round nails. I personally always end up filing my nails round because when they are more square, the corners always chip on me. 

[itsfi]

@Mellmars1185, finding a baby blue I like is usually a challenge - some are too pale, others not pale enough but this one is beautiful. 💙 I also like that it has a semi-glossy finish before a top coat.

Your nail length is always an ideal one and I love the look of yours with a rounded look. Nail care is something I've been working on for a while and I'm hoping to get back to a place where the length can stay consistently on the long-ish side. 🤞 Usually I go with a square-round shape (or is it called squoval?); it works best for me when my nails are just a smidge longer than stubby but not something I'd characterized as long, which is most of the time. I've tried a square shape but for some reason, it's the shape that on me tears the easiest and fastest. 😕

These two don't quite fit together the way I thought they would in my head, but I think they are a fabulous pairing nonetheless 💖

Orly Dynamism: bronze shimmer with contrasting pink aurora. I thought the pink would "flash" a little more, but it gives this otherwise brown polish a nice warm glow that I'm really digging on. Easy two coater.

KBshimmer What's Poppin': bright pink jelly with silver holo flakes and aurora gold/green/blue shimmer. I am head over heels for green/blue shimmers lately, and it's a fantastic addition to this bright and sunny pink. Three coats for opacity, not fussy though. 

I missed the sun by about 10 minutes, so I guess this is "bright dusk" lighting lol

Indirect light

Another angle of indirect light helps show a little of the pink in the Orly and some green in the KBS. The blue shift is a bit shy, sadly, can't seem to catch it on camera, but it's gorgeous...it gives a purple cast over the pink ✨

[Saradestin]

Wow... that shift.... 😍😍😍😍 Gorgeous @RGbrown!

[RGbrown]

@Saradestin 

Thanks so much! They really played off each other pretty well! 💖

[CynthieLu]

These shifts are subtle and like have this somehow gentle transition but are sooo amazing @RGbrown it's cool you were able to catch so much of the way they change in the different lighting. I really like these ones 😍

[RGbrown]

@CynthieLu 

Thanks so much! This has been a fun set to wear 💖

[CookieGirl1]

I wouldn't have thought to pair those, @RGbrown, but somehow they just work together.

[RGbrown]

@CookieGirl1 

Thanks so much! I pulled the Orly and started digging through my pinks for just the right one to help highlight that shift...it's still not quite as strong as I had hoped, but I'm happy with how well they paired up 💖

@RGbrown  I like this colour combo! What’s poppin is such a great spring colour!! So fun and the bronze paired with it is so pretty!! 

[RGbrown]

@ather 

Thanks so much! I am loving this mix! 💖

[itsfi]

Ohhhh, I like this. I like this a lot @RGbrown! 😍 The pink plays so well with the bronze, both in Orly Dynamism and the pairing of the two polishes in this mani. There's almost a bit of a pewter tint to the Orly in certain lighting. What's Poppin is a great name for the gorgeous, gorgeous pink jelly. I'm not sure what you had envisoned for these two polishes but I think your mani looks absolutely spectacular! 

[RGbrown]

@itsfi 

Thanks so much! Dynamism definitely has a dusky tone to it some lights...pewter is an excellent comparison. I'm loving how they both came out! 💖

[Titian06]

Both colors are very pretty, @RGbrown !  I can see what you were going for.  Too bad it didn't quite work out, but it still looks lovely. 🥰

[RGbrown]

@Titian06 

Thanks so much! It's definitely a little different than I had pictured, but it's certainly not bad by any stretch of the imagination ✨

[Mellmars1185]

@RGbrown Amazing combination. I am noting down the shade Dynamism by Orly. It is so unique. I have not seen a shade like it ! 🩷🤎

[RGbrown]

@Mellmars1185 

Dynamism turned out to be gorgeous! I wound up snagging this entire collection with a really nice deal, but if I had been picking out just a couple from the set to buy a la carte, this one likely wouldn't have made into my basket, so I'm thrilled that it's much more lovely than I had imagined ✨

[JoSometimes]

@RGbrown Bronze and pink is a great pairing even if it wasn’t what you intended. I was thinking to do an accent colour for my next try, but I wasn’t sure what fingers to do. Thanks for the inspiration! 

[RGbrown]

@JoSometimes 

Thanks so much! 

I mix up my accent fingers all the time...sometimes it's thumb and ring, others I'll do ring and middle, but my current kick is like I've got here, with middle and index. There are no wrong answers!
