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!

Neon Star Stamp

Hey Y'all!

I decided to join in on the nailartjune challenge on instagram and so I needed a neon design for the first day, which I'm late on but hopefully will catch up soon! I have been wantin to use Color Club "Hi-Tech Hibiscus" again, it's so beautiful, so I used it as my base color. And because I can't stop myself from usin Salon Perfect "Mer-Made Of Money," I used it for my stamp. Also Gol, I talked about this stampin plate in my monthly mani faves video and I was gonna link to a video I'd used it in and realized I hadn't done a video with it Gol, so I have now! 

Here's How:

I started with a base of Color Club "Hi-Tech Hibiscus"

I used this plate I got from etsy.

Also usin my creative shop stamper set.

I place the polish onto the stamp. I'm usin Salon Perfect "Mer-Made Of Money."

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

Pick up the image with my stamper in a rollin motion. I know it's slightly hard to see the image because the colors are so light.

Line up your nail and push into the stamper.

And there's the image.

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:

I hope y'all enjoyed this! I ended up really likin this despite the face that it was a random last minute decision. Also in person it's very hard to see the stars without good lightin so that's not my favorite but up close I like them gol.
