    anybody else watch her vids but barely do nail art at all? The closest thing I did was use a dotting tool! I just think they're soooo satisfying to watch!

      You should really try some of it. I had a great time doing first time nail stamping today. It looked really complicated and I put off doing it but it was easy and really fun. And none of the stuff is really expensive. I’m a nurse and work all the time, recently divorced with a 17 year old son. Hard part for me is finding the time. But I loved the way it turned out. I love doing fun stuff with my nails and my patients enjoy seeing them.

    I love your videos. Yeah I started with hombres. Several years ago. Love them. Easy to do. I’ve been watching your nail stamping vids. Intrigued. So, today I did my very first nail stamping. Followed your directions, got clear jelly stamper, washed it with dish soap, got plates. Love laces and butterflies, so went with that. Came out great. I had put it off for a long time because it sounded so complicated. It was really easy did pale pink background and used black polish for the stamping. Loved it. Thanks a lot for these tutorials.

    Hi Kelli, I like your nail polish & nail art 101 series.
    YEAH, let's talk clouds!
    I guess I love clouds too. I like to bike ride 6-12 miles for fun and exercise. The #1 thing I will stop my ride to photograph is the sky, and clouds are usually a major part of that beauty.
    As a kid I thought the best job to have would be to be the architect who colors the sky! I have always been awed by the changing sky environment.
    Thanks for sharing what you enjoy with all of us. I hope you have a wonderful new year 2021!

    Hi Kelli, thank you for this video. I discovered and subscribed to your channel about 6 weeks ago. You've renewed my interest in nail art after a few decades! I used to do it with fine silver tape, diamantes, flowers and leaves hand painted using poster paint, sometimes with a diamante as the flower centre. But now I LOVE the gradients - my new favourite. So elegant. I'm getting better each time... My favourite is the black fade to blue. Love using glitter too. Your swatch videos are also excellent. I'm having fun learning and trying your techniques. Thank you and greetings from Sydney, Australia. Barbara

      Hi Barbara! I'm so happy you've found me and that you're back into nail art - I truly think it's the best hobby ever 😄 and gradients are just so much fun to create! Next you'll have to try doing a little floral nail art over a gradient hehe ❤️

    • @Barbara7810X
      @Barbara7810X 6 місяців тому

      @@KelliMarissa Thanks Kelli, I might try that, it didn't occur to me to combine both. I like having a feature nail on each hand, even if it's only something as simple as a full topcoat of glitter over my main colour. (Currently having an enforced rest as I wait for a couple of breaks to grow back!).

    @Kelli Marissa you are too funny - and cute as a button! I think I watch your videos for your personality as much as for the nail art tips! I started doing nail art 2 or 3 years ago and probably have done gradients dozens of times - and I picked up some useful tips from this video! (I don't think I've been fully saturating the sponge, for one.). And white to black *is* challenging - funny enough I think that was one of the first gradients I ever did. keep up the good work, young lady!

    @michellelyman7092 7 років тому

    you just solved my problem and gave me confidence to try again - I was getting so frustrated! Had bits of sponge coming off onto my nail and was pulling polish off the nail...apparently I was not saturating my sponge enough or refilling it often enough and I suspect also was not waiting till one coat was dry before going back over it - in short, pretty much doing it all wrong.

    I'm so glad that you did this more in depth ombre/gradient video. I need to google a color wheel image so that I don't make any mistakes on which colors go together...haha!

    • @KelliMarissa
      @KelliMarissa  7 років тому

      +Frozen - Marvel there are def some exceptions but I would say the color wheel is the best way to decide your gradients!

    • @frozen-marvel8301
      @frozen-marvel8301 7 років тому

      +Kelli Marissa Indeed because some colors are pretty alone, but would not work at all for a gradient...lol! Like your example of green to red for Christmas! Browns are nice for nail looks, but wouldn't be so good with those colors...hahaha! Oh and I forgot to mention before that I too love clouds; they are very cool to look at and take pictures of! :D

    Kelli, this video is so detailed and I love it. I attempted my first ombre. I think it's ok, but there's always "first times" for anything new. I'll keep working on it. I used OPI - Do You Sea What I Sea and Essie - In the Cab-Ana on a base of OPI Alpine Snow. Would love your feedback... but don't know how to send you a picture 😕. Thanks, you make polishing my nails fun. 💅

    Yay! you have a new subbie! I used to be so into nails. But now I am a nurse and I am not allowed to have my naild paint but I really enjoy doing my nails on my days off. I really like your personality and your 101 videos! keep up with the good and hard work!😘 If you don't have already a video about it, could you do one on how to remove glitter nailpolish without having to scrub like 10 minutes per nail? 😭🤤
    I wish you a nice weekend. Greets from Switzerland!🇨🇭🙋‍♀️

Anyway, I do actually have a video on some easy tricks for removing glitter nail polish, I think you'll find it pretty helpful! :) let me know if you have any other requests tho!!!

  • @remainingembers
    @remainingembers 7 років тому

    The artsy terms to describe what you mean about colors would be that complementary colors (like blue+orange, green+red) are on opposite sides so they make brown, but analogous colors (green, bluegreen) are more similar and blend together! Lol either way i'm one those people who save my lightly used make up sponges just for nail gradients and trim off the dry parts, but next time I'll have to try the flat edge. (love your videos)

    Your "bad gradient" examples are what I wish my best gradients could ever look like 😂 I always say that I want to bounce on the big fluffy clouds, if I wouldn't fall through and plummet to my death.

    Omg I just "discovered" you during our power outage from hurricane Irma. Couldn't watch tv so I found you! I'm now obsessed! You're so cute! You've made me want to try all your methods AND organize my polishes! I'm a polish hoarder but I never paint them. True story! They start peeling as soon as I remove the polish. But I keep buying polish anyway! HELP!!! (I'm 55. You're teaching an old dog new tricks!)

    Excellent video! 👍🏻 I don't like cosmetic sponges for gradients. I just don't have any luck using them. I use those round black/white sponges. I ordered them with a dabber from AliExpress. They have have a few perks! If you're super thrifty you can dip them in acetone and clean them off on paper towel and use them again. If you're less thrifty, you can use one side, then flip over and use the other, even after the polish dries. I find they use less polish and give more colour payoff. I only use sponges for glitter tips, since they absorb the base, they work better for that. I am totally going to get the jar latex tho. Much better deal! 😅

    • @KelliMarissa
      @KelliMarissa  6 років тому

      I don't think so, unfortunately it's a different formula so it can't be sponged on!

  • @saraa3418
    @saraa3418 2 роки тому

    Super old video, but yes, the cloud formations in NYC/NJ are really special, it also has better sunrises and sunsets than further south. I thought that I was just romanticizing the sky there, because I'm from Staten Island and I miss it, but when I was visiting my sister last summer, I realized that I wasn't. The skies literally are just that beautiful there, and the trees are taller and more lush here.
