New Year 2022- Glitter Gradient Nail Design

Hello everyone! Happy New Year 2022! (almost New Year) I still can't believe that I am saying that, time is just going so fast. So for this year we are doing a New Year same Munchkin design because this design is very similar to the one I did last year and the year before, a glitter gradient using a silver holo polish and not gold, that really is the only difference. I just find doing black nails with a glitter gradient to be time less and a great class look for New Years. Plus I did use two of the topper from the Holo Taco toppers collection, which was part of the very first collection, which I just got not to long ago.

Here are the polishes and nail art tools used to create this glitter gradient for New Years:

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

Polishes- Sally Hansen- Hard as Nails- Black Heart, Holo Taco- Scattered, and Holo Taco- Flakie.

Other- Makeup sponge for the glitter gradient. 

Apply a base coat.

Let that dry.

Polish all of the nails with a black creme polish.

Let that dry.

For this glitter gradient we will be using two types of holographic glitter polish, a flakie holo (larger holo glitter pieces) and a scatter holo (smaller more sparse glitter.) 

For the glitter gradient we will be doing this on all of the nails except the ring finger.

First take your silver flakie holo polish and polish that a little bit on the tip of the nail. Then take a makeup sponge, polish that same flakie polish on that sponge and dab that on the tips of the nail, focusing most of the glitter on the tip of the nail.

Repeat this for all four nails.

Then take your silver scattered polish and polish over the flakie and going a little past the glitter that you dabbed on to give a gradient effect. Basically larger glitter more at the tip and small glitter near the middle of the nail, for that gradient look. 

Then for the ring finger nail, polish the whole nail with both the flakie and scattered silver holo polish.

Their you have it a beautiful silver holo glitter gradient, that looks great for the new year, kind of like the ball that drops in New York ever year at midnight? minus the holo glitter, I'm pretty sure the ball is just sliver with lights on it. 

Also don't forget the apply a top coat to add more of shine and to help your polish to last well into the new year. 

Hope all of you enjoyed this glitter gradient design.

Have a safe and Happy New Year 2022!

See you next year for more nail fun! 

Merry Christmas-Holographic French Mani

Hello everyone! Merry Christmas and Happy Holiday's! I can't believe that it is that time of year again and the this year is almost over with! Today on the M.M.M big we will be doing a classic Munchkin mani design, that I use to do back when I first started growing my nails out in high school, for the holiday's. The Mani we will be doing to day is a French manicure with a holiday twist, using red holo polish, gold for the tips on the left hand, and then silver holo on the tips for the right hand. The only different between this mani and the one I use to do years ago, is I used a creme red and just a gold or sliver. 

Here are the polishes used to create this Holiday French mani:

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

Polishes- Holo Taco- Red Licorice- Rainbow Collection, Holo Taco- Green Taffy- Rainbow Collection, Revlon- Gold Coin, Fun Lacquer- Million Dollar Dream, Holo Taco- Circuit Breaker- Electric Holo Collection, and China glaze mini- Grinch- Resting Grinch Face.

*No nail art tools required!*

First apply a base coat.

Let that dry.

Polish all of the nails except the ring finger nail with a red holo polish, going almost all the way up the nails stopping almost near the tips of the nails. 

For the ring finger nail, polish that with a green holo polish, then once that is dry using a colorful glitter topper polish over that green, this will give the nail a Christmas tree look.

For the left hand we will do the French mani with a gold polish. When I do French mani's I just follow the nail line with the polish brush, starting from one side, to the other side and meeting in the middle.

For an added holo touch apply a gold holo glitter polish right over the gold polish on the tips of the nails. 

Now for the right hand, do the same thing, this time use a silver holo polish on the tips of the nails. 

As with any of my designs, for this you can do all of the tips of your nails with gold or silver, or mix it up and do one hand gold the other silver. 

As with any mani apply a top coat to seal in your design to help it last and to shine all Christmas long. 

Hope all of you enjoy this Christmas French mani! 

Merry Christmas and Happy Holiday's!

See you next time for more nail fun!

First Snow Fall- Snowflake Nail Design

Hello everyone! Today on the blog we will be create a snowflake nail design on our nails. If you live somewhere cold like I do, then it has already snowed some because it is December, which is still hard to believe, that it is December and the year is almost over with! Time has just been going way to fast!

Here are the polishes and nail art tools used to create this beautiful snow design:

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

Polishes- Zoya- Splash- Maren, Zoya- Estelle, Zoya- Twinkling- Alessia, and Holo Taco- Scattered. 

Acrylic paint- White.

Nail art brushes- a very small dotting tool and a thin stripper brush.

Other- a makeup sponge and water to clean off your nail art brushes.  

Apply a base coat.

Let that dry.

Polish- 

Thumb, index, middle, and pinky- A creme blue (Zoya- Maren) This is your base color polish. 

Ring finger nail- A shimmery blue (Zoya- Alessia) 

Let that dry.

Gradient on thumb, index, middles and pinky nails: 

On almost all of the nails we will be create a gradient except for the ring finger nail, that nail will just stay as is with a shimmery blue. For this gradient I decided to go with three polishes that are very close in color that way they will blend well. 

For the gradient take a makeup sponge and first polish Zoya- Alessia, (a blue with silver shimmer in it) and then polish right next to that with Zoya- Estelle (a shimmer blue.)

Then dab the sponge on to the nail, all of the nails except the ring finger nail. You will need to do this twice on each nail to be opaque. 

Snowflakes on the nails: 

On all of the nails except the ring finger nail, we will create a simple snowflake design, staring off with a big snowflake, then smaller star shape snowflake, and lastly small dots for snowflakes. 

For all of the nails I stuck with the same looking snowflakes which I usually don't do, they are just placed different on the nail.  

First take a thin stripper brush with white paint on it and make a star shape and then add small lines on each line. 

For the smaller snowflake, with that same stripper brush with white paint on it, just make star shapes for that snowflake.

Then lastly take a very small dotting tool and make small dots around the larger ones, making sure to leave space around the larger snowflakes.

For the final touch apply a scattered holo topcoat to all of the nails for an even more glittery holo look!

Once your snowflake nail design is ready for the first snow fall/ many more snow falls, apply a top coat to seal in your design and to help it to last all winter long or at least until you want to change your nails.

Hope all of you enjoyed this snowflake nail design! 

See you next time for more nail fun!
