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!

Patriotic Bag Marble

Hey Y'all!

It's time for more Patriotic mani's!

Today I have a bag marble, which I haven't done in quite awhile! 

The bag marble is so easy and quick, it's the perfect on the go design.

Here's How:

I'm startin with a silver base of Salon Perfect "Titanium." 

You'll also need a plastic baggie, like a ziplock.

When the silver is dry, I add a blob of red polish. I used Salon Perfect "Salsa Dance."

And a blob of blue polish. Salon Perfect "Indigo-go."

And also a small drop of silver polish on top, so we don't lose the silver base in the background.

Then immediately place the baggie on top of the nail and smoosh it around until you get the desired look.

It will look like this. 

I used a q-tip with acetone to cleanup any big splotches of polish on the skin.

Then I went in with my small brush and more acetone to get in closer to the nail.

Finish up with your favorite top coat. I use Salon Perfect.

And that's it!
