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! ❤️

Thank you @AMK721 ! The weather definitely has an effect on how often you get your nails done. Time to start doing them at home?!?

[Mellmars1185]

@jaaayp Gorgeous Velvet nails! Did you use a magnet to create this effect? 😍

[jaaayp]

Thank you @Mellmars1185 ! Yes, I did! I did use a magnet! It's a type of cat eye gel nail polish that has ultra fine glitter which makes it look more velvety vs cat eye! 😁

[Mellmars1185]

@jaaayp You did an amazing job! I still need to figure out the magents I have. Is it hard to do? Do you use the magnet before or after you apply the nail polish 🧲 💅?

[CookieGirl1]

@jaaayp those look fab.  Did you do them yourself?

[jaaayp]

Thanks @CookieGirl1 ! Yes, I did do them myself, as always 😆

[CookieGirl1]

@jaaayp they look too perfect, lol.  I honestly wasn't sure!

[Shosh85]

@jaaayp  Oooh, so beautiful! They look magnetic! 🤩

[jaaayp]

Thank you @Shosh85 ! They are magnetic! technically. It's using the cat eye gel nail polishes! 😊

My nail beds are a bit neglected. Any suggestions for nail care ? I do have a bottle of unopened cuticle oil.

@Mellmars1185  So gorgeous! They look like fancy little Easter eggs! 
I don't have any profound advice for your nail beds, except for just trimming the cuticles and adding cuticle oil..... using cuticle oil is never a bad idea! 😉

[AMK721]

@Shosh85 I was thinking the same thing - Easter eggs.

[Mellmars1185]

@Shosh85 Thank you. Since Sunday, I have been using cuticle oil. I received it in a sub box and never really thought to reach for it, until recently. So far, I have enjoyed using it in the evening before bed. I put it on my beside table (inspired by @itsfi ). I haven't noticed any difference yet but I am happy about creating a new habit!

[jaaayp]

Such an awesome combo @Mellmars1185 I love the speckles!!! 

[Mellmars1185]

@jaaayp Thank you! I am a fan of speckles. These ones are very subtle. Good eye!

[peculiarzmakeup]

Gorgeous mani! Your nails looks stunning and I love the colors and sparkles it’s so cool to alternate shades! Looks beautiful 🤩 @Mellmars1185 I think nail oil is great!  

[Mellmars1185]

@peculiarzmakeup Thank you very much! This winter I have been reaching for darker shades, so I thought it would be fun to change it up a little bit ✨️
