Munchkin’s Magnificent Manis: Holo Sunset using Holo Taco Rainbow Polishes

Hello everyone! I don't know about all of you but summer has gone by way to fast, faster then normal it seems, even though this year we could not do much this summer. Anyways today we will be creating a tropical sunset nail design using three of the polishes from the Holo Taco rainbow collection, as always in the summer time I love to create tropical designs, but this summer escaped me and I have only created one tropical design, even though summer is coming to a close I do plan on creating one more tropical design.

Holo Tropical Sunset- Holo Taco Rainbow

Here are the polishes and nail art tools used to create this holo tropical sunset:

Base and top coat- CND Stickey Base Coat and Revlon Extra Life No Chip top coat.

Nail polishes- Holo Taco- Lemon Sucker, Holo Taco- Orange Drink, and Holo Taco- Red Licorice.

Acrylic paint- Black.

Nail art brushes- Thin detail brush and stripper brush.

Other- Makeup sponge and a cup of water to clean off your nail art brushes.

Apply base coat.

Let that dry.

For your base polish, start off with the lightest color yellow (Lemon Sucker.)

The gradient will be done on all of the nails, the tropical design will be created on three of the nails.

Let that dry.

Red, Orange, and Yellow Gradient (Sunset)

First we will start off with the gradient with a clean makeup sponge, polish Lemon Sucker at the bottom, then Orange Drink, then Red Licorice at the top. Then dab the sponge on to the nails, to make the polishes blend into a gradient like sunset. You can repeat this step another time if you feel like your gradient is not opqaue enough.

For this design I did apply a top coat before I did the design just to smooth out the gradient, then after I did the tropical design I did apply another top coat.

Tropical Design on the index, middle, and ring finger nail

For the tropical design I will not be doing a step by step process because I have done multiple tropical designs that I feel that you can always refer back to. So I will keep the explanation simple.

On the Index nail make thick black strip for the land in between the yellow and orange and a thin strip for another piece of land in between the orange and red. Then make two palm trees on the thick black land.

On the middle finger nail make thick black strip again for the land on the right side of the nail on the orange part. Then make two palm leaves on each side of the nail.

On the ring finger nail repeat the same thing as you did on the index nail, just make the design on the other side (the right side, index nail is on the left side.)
