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! ❤️

Wow! There are a lot of beautiful nails on here!

I’m almost embarrassed to post this here, but we all had to start somewhere. This is legit my first time painting my nails. I know I have a lot to learn and I hope I can get better at it with the inspiration of some of the artists on here! (And please excuse my eczema-riddled hands…)

NO embarrassment here @JoSometimes ! Your mani looks amazing and the polish you chose looks gorgeous! Looking forward to more manis! 😍😍😍

[JoSometimes]

Thank you @Saradestin! It looks fine in photos thanks to all the compression and blurring that happen when uploading photos, but it was rough in real life. I flooded the cuticles, had nail polish dripping down the sides, and it was streaky. Glitter top coat to the rescue! ✨

Gosh, don't be embarrassed, @JoSometimes!  It's funny to think that doing your nails can take "practice" but it totally does--and a lot of patience, lol.  You picked a beautiful color and I hope that we see more manis from you 🙂

[JoSometimes]

Thank you for the vote of confidence @CookieGirl1! It definitely builds patience!

@JoSometimes  I think you did a great job! We all had to start somewhere!! This pink is beautiful and the added glitter really gives it that extra pizzazz!

[JoSometimes]

Thank you for the encouragement @ather!

Is that pink and sparkles I spy in your pretty mani @JoSometimes?!! 😍 That’s only one of the best pairings ever!!! 💖💖💖 You did a fabulous job with your mani. Is that one color or did you use a pretty pink with a sparkly topper? Either way, fabulously fun!! 

[JoSometimes]

Thank you @itsfi! It’s a pink base with glitter on top. It’s got a bit of a story behind it, but I ended up liking and keeping it on.

@JoSometimes Beautiful nails! You did an amazing job...especially for your first time. I like the bright pink shade with sparkles 💖

[JoSometimes]

Thank you for the compliment @Mellmars1185! The bright colour makes me happy. 💗

Welcome, @JoSometimes !  I'm so glad to see you on this thread!  Your mani looks great! 💖💖💖  We all are learning from each other, so don't hesitate to ask questions.   We also shop each other's posts--we're very enabling here. 😁

[JoSometimes]

Thank you for the warm welcome @Titian06! I’m open to any tips or tricks you might have for improving. 😊

@JoSometimes 

Nope nope nope, do not be embarrassed!! We love seeing new folks and new nails here, and skill isn't important! But even if you are a beginner like you claim (I have my doubts 😋 )...this looks fantastic 😍 You did a fabulous job, and glittery pink is always a great choice. Welcome, and we can't wait to see more! 🤗

[JoSometimes]

Thank you for your words of encouragement @RGbrown! It really is my first time though. This is my non-dominant hand and it’s somewhat-kind of-maybe-semi-decent-ish. The other hand taking the photo is… let’s just call it rough.

[RGbrown]

@JoSometimes 

Aw, I know how it goes! I've been painting mine for years and still make quite the mess some days, so you're in good company 😄 A clean up brush and some acetone will work wonders though! If you have an extra lying around, any small eyeliner or other makeup brush will work for starters...acetone will eventually eat the glue, but many folks are perfectly happy to stick with $1-2 elf brushes since they are cheap and easy to replace. 

[JoSometimes]

Thank you for the tip @RGbrown! Gonna pick one up for the next time I try.
