Patriotic Holographic Star Gradient

Hey Y'all!
I've got another patriotic design! This is a recreation of a design I did a year ago I believe, with different colors and I really wanted to try a patriotic version. 
I started with a holographic base of Color Club "Harp On It."

I used these star stickers I got from GW supply or walmart. They're just basic stickers.

Tweezers help a lot in trying to pick up and place the stickers.

I placed them alternating on each nail.

like this.

 Then I filled a makeup sponge with red and blue polish for my gradient. I used Salon Perfect "Indigo-go" and "Salsa Dance."

Then I taped my finger up for easier cleanup.

Then I sponged the gradient onto my nail. Just pat the sponge onto the nail up and down and all around til you get it blended and opaque enough.

It'll look like this.

 Then it's time to remove the stickers. Immediately after finishin your gradient, so the polish won't dry over the stickers. Use the tweezers to carefully pull up the stickers.

And you get this! 

Last remove the tape and 

Clean up any excess polish on the skin. 

Use your favorite top coat to seal it all in. I use Salon Perfect.

And that's it!

Classy Holographic Stamp

Hey Y'all!
Today I have a classy holographic stamp design for ya!
I have been itchin to use this base color since I got it at nail pro! It's China Glaze "5th Ave." 
It's soooo beautiful and classy I just love it! And it's a 1 coater! 
I just wanted to do a subtle classy design over the top so I chose to use a holographic silver and a new stampin plate I just got. 

Here's How:
I started with a base of China Glaze "5th Ave."

I'm usin this plate JQ-04 I got on etsy.

Start by puttin the holographic polish onto the image. I used Color Club "Harp On It."

Then with my creative shops scraper I scrape the polish towards me. 

And pick up the image in a rollin motion with my creative shop stamper.

Line your nail up with the image and press into the stamper.

And there's the image on the nail.

Clean your stamper with a piece of tape.

Use your favorite top coat to seal it all in. I use Salon Perfect.

And that's it!
Here's the video:




Hope y'all enjoyed this subtle classy look!
