Kelli as soon as I saw the glitter gradient I knew I wanted it for my daughter's wedding in May
I am so fascinated by that radial gradient!!! I didn't even know that was possible
Oh yeah it's so fun but it's hard 🤣 I really want to master it!
@@KelliMarissa I'll have to try it on a day when I have a ton of time to kill 😂😂 I feel like I could put a planet in the senter and it could be like it has its own little aura!
Glitter is my go-to. It can be touched up in a snap
And it's a great way to cover up any chips from a previous mani haha!
@@KelliMarissa I've lost track of how many manis ended up with gold trim because I chipped something. It's a feature, not a bug!
Amazing video Kelli!!!!!
These are all awesome ☺❤
On the radial, cut your sponge to match the curve of your cuticle and put one edge of the sponge right at the side of your nail. You will line it up perfectly every time.
That is a BRILLIANT idea!!!
loved this video! gradients are my favorite nails to do
I usually think they're a pain because of cleanup but these barriers were awesome!
Gah! I love seems my favorite nail folks interacting! Love you both so much!
Watching this at 5:20am on Monday morning in Australia!!
126 im the afternoon on Sunday in the US
Haha oh my gosh early bird!!
I'm so happy you made this video because after seeing your gradient nail look that won you that OPI competition I realised you're literally the gradient queen.
Oh my gosh you are far too kind haha! It did revitalize my love for gradients though!!
Oh, my, that radial gradient! WOOF! The colors you used and the way you did it looked amazing!
The tie dye gradient is definitely my Easter look now! I love how inspiring this video is! I can’t believe I never thought about doing gradients differently from the classic horizontal!
This was a great tutorial! I learned more watching this one video than I learned in cosmetology school! 💅
Love the glitter gradient!
Wow! Maybe I will try a diagonal gradient now. Great tip!
I love gradient nails! I love the horizontal!
Ohhhhh NICEEEEE STUFF !
Hehe 😄
I love the metallic gradient!
Thank you so much!!
Ohhhhh that radial gradient 😍😍😍
Kelli your eyeshadow is so pretty! 😍
That color on your nails and those holo tacos on the diagonal gradient!! Love! And holy cow that radial gradient, I never knew that was a thing!
Haha YES it's tricky but it's so much fun when you get it right!
Love this eyeshadow look so cute!
Thank you so much 😀
I’m probably going to attempt a radial gradient today, so I’m here to refresh myself on the technique!
Love this video! Thank you! I am so impressed by gradients, but I’ve always been intimidated by them.
I love gradients! I normally just do a horizontal one, but I like the look of the vertical too.
I really love when you do videos like this so much ❤️ you make techniques like this feel so much more beginner friendly, and not quite so overwhelming and intimidating
Oh gosh thank you so much Sierra, I'm so happy you find them helpful 💜💜
I've always loved using nail polish, but I just did my first gradient last week - a horizontal one - and I was so amazed by how gorgeous it looked! I did a mint green into blue, and I'm looking forward to trying out more combinations!
I love these holo gradients….they look stunning. I can’t wait to be able to start painting my nails again…. Hopefully in a few weeks. Not game to until my lifted nail has completely grown out 💜
You are crushing it with this content! 💪 Loving the uploads. I haven't had the courage to attempt a radial gradient. And I totally forgot about that variation on the vertical!
Also, yidiges tidigo Gidigibidigeridigish! I spoke that Ubbi Dubbi, Pig Latin...all of them.
Haha! I could never get the hang of pig Latin but gibberish was the coolest in my school!
I'm not great at gradients, so I'm super pumped about this video!
Great tutorial! Radial gradients are my favorite! Mostly for stamping like you said! Especially for creepy moons at Halloween! 👻
YES they're so cool for like a spotlight on a creepy nail art look!!
Yes, vote for sequel here!!
Totally enjoyed this video. Will be trying all of these gradients!!
I had always been wanting to try the same combo of Holo Taco polishes! Yours turned out amazing😍 All the 6 are so pretty to be honest😀
Agreed! So fun for gradients!!
Excellent!!! Definitely rooting for a sequel on this one!!!💜💜💜
I think gibberish might be my favorite word... or gefile-fish. I have no idea how its spelled but I notice the two rhyme though. Lol!🤩
Your current hair reminds me of Portal, haha. Awesome video as usual! :D
Haha thank you!!!
My favorite gradient to do is a glitter gradient or one with sunset colors as a background for palm trees in the summer. Specific, I know lol.
I've never done a diagonal one, which I have to say is a great idea. I have very small nails and they're short, so I always struggle with fitting gradients and nail art on them.
I LOVE the colors you used on that diagonal gradient. Stunning!
Dang, the radial one looks so interesting! I already have an enchanted forest idea to go along with it!
Yessssss more gradients!!! I love any video when you show us techniques and I would love to see more. It would also be cool to combine a gradient followup with another stamping video 😏
Glitter gradients are definitely my favorite! Would love to see more stamping videos, I'm always looking for more fun ideas to expand my stamping repertoire :-)
I work in anti-money laundering and I mitigate risk all day!! 😂😂 love that word too! 😂
Oh my gosh I need a job where I hear the term mitigate every day 🤣 I try to throw it into convos as often as possible hahaha
@@KelliMarissa LOL 😂 I went from using it not at all to using it at least 5 times a day 😂
I tried some of them.they are easy to do and look gorgeous
Haven't done a gradient for a long time and I love them! Every once in a while I think about it, but then do something else. I have done the horizontal and vertical only so far, but love the side angled and the circular one. Will have to try next! Thank you for the refresher course!💜👍💅
Glad you enjoyed it Vickie!!!
The radial gradient is so cool! Will definitely be giving that a try.
Love this video! Will definitely try the radial and splotches/tie dye methods. I bet they'd look good with some moon and galaxy themed stamping!
Just the basic gradient always makes me feel super fancy, even though it's way less work than stamping or nail vinyls or whatever. I'm trying the radial next. Thanks for the good ideas and tips!
Mitigate is a great word. We didn't do gibberish when I was a kid, but I would think that kind of thing is regional. We spoke pig Latin. I remember being bad at it and having to practice to get it right lol.
I love the colors you picked for the third one. Would be so pretty for Fall. Never knew there was so many ways to gradient, but My nails are tiny too. Glitter gradients are my favorite. Love your eyeshadow look.
Thank you for this video! I've got so much inspiration for different gradients now 😁
Yesss do it!!!
I need to practice more on gradients. They always look so great!
I loved this video. Definitely looking forward to a sequel. My favorite gradient was the vertical gradient with the darker edges. I've never seen that one before. In my area, we didn't speak the gibberish you referred to. We spoke "pig Latin". It's where you take off the first letter of a word and put it on the back with an added long a sound. ("Kelli" would be elli-Ka)
Great video, Kelli! I tried a rainbow gradient for the first time (two different colors on each nail) and it was really difficult! I want to try it again! They look so pretty! Thank you! XOXO Heidi
Great hints and ideas on doing gradients. Thanks Kelli.
I’d love to see more gradients please
Okay! 😁
These are so fun, love gradient nails, great video 🥰💖
I tried doing a gradient for the first time a few days ago. I didn't realize there were so many different kinds. I did the horizontal and could only get 2 colors on with my short nails. I will have to experiment with these others. They're really pretty. I struggled with the liquid latex, so I think I will give the nail barriers a try. Thank for posting this!
Yeah sometimes I really mess up that latex just sticking my fingers together by accident or getting it on my actual nail haha! i'll def be buying more of these barriers.
Waw this is even better than school😍girl your my teacher
😁💜💜💜💜
This was so useful! I would love to see more! And videos using them with nail art!
I haven't done a glitter gradient yet, I need the tools, but it looks so cool! My favorite word is dilapidated 💖
Ooh that's a great word for the tongue haha!
I've only done the standard horizontal and the glitter gradient. I definitely want to try the radial and splotchy.
Definitely would like a part 2!
Yesss try them, it's so fun!!
I love the nail art videos and hope to see more! It would be really cool if you did a video talking about how you get ideas and inspiration and decide what to do when you're doing nail art.
Just wanted to say thanks for your eyeshadow/nail polish video. My four year old daughter and I did it and she enjoyed it. She loves nail polishes and eyeshadow (which I hated until after I had her) and was on a science experiment kick so it was fun. Of course, she threw a tantrum that we only did a few, but hey. It was fun and the BH Galaxy eyeshadow palette gave us a nice polish
Girl u r So Creative and Helpful is a Spectacular type of way! I have learned so much from u and I appreciate ur helping the world of " Not-So- Great-Non-Imaginative " World the easiest, most beautiful ways of doing things. I will 4Ever be a Fan as long as u Grace our World with your Know - Beautiful Presence . Thanks so much!! Your Amazon!
That's a clever way to remember which way you're holding it up :D I always use the flat end of the wedge because it's easier to cut them off to use the rest of the sponge, I've never tried using the fat side like you're using here!
I do it the same way.
You read my mind Kelli! I was thinking about doing this yesterday! 😆 Your tutorial on gradients was the first one I watched when I decided to try it out and now I love doing them! 😍 All of my nails have gradients on them right now 😄. The holo diagonal is definitely my favorite. Could you do a tutorial on a creme to holo gradient? I've tried it in the past and I think it turned out ok, but some extra tips would be super helpful 😊
That yellow eyeshadow tho 🥰🥰🥰
Your makeup is beautiful
Oh thank you so much :)
Omg, everyone always looks at me like I'm insane when I mention gibberish from childhood! So glad I'm not the only one!
Thank you for a tutorial!!! Polish brands and swatches make me spend money so tutorials give me ideas how to actually use it.
Super informative as usual! Thanks Kells!
Glad you liked this one!! 😜
We need more options for peel off base coats, no store ( even sally beauty supply) sells them. I had to order on the internet. I'm excited to use it! 💜
Ooh yay you're gonna have so much fun!!
Yes. They seem to work differently depending on your own body chemistry. The best for me by far is Unt, which is getting hard to find. I think it's discontinued. It stays on until I remove it. Holo Taco is similar but I get more pop offs.
There's one - angel something- that literally ripped my nails coming off. It was actually scary. I want to warn anyone who uses a peely base but chemistry does make a big difference & it might be great for some people. There's got to be a reason it's still on the market.
@@gypsydonovan thank you, I didn't even consider that. I just got the unt ready for takeoff. 💜💅💜 Gonna probably use it Friday for an Easter gradient.
I do not like nail polish remover, it drives me crazy especially with glitters.
LA Colors has a peel off base coat that's very affordable and easy to find in dollar stores and it works pretty well for the price.
@@alwaysaroundproud I can't find it??? 😢
I attempted a gradient for the first time last weekend!! It was only partially successful but I feel that was more due to constant distractions than anything else. I'm hoping to attempt again soon!
Once you get the hang of it, they're so much fun to create! I bet you'll rock the next one!!
I love doing gradients as well! You explained everything so good! I love scaled gradients, even though they are pretty hard haha
Kelli: Super sheep 🤭
Me: just got hooked to your channel🥰
These are my favorites kind of videos ❤
Yay glad you enjoyed!!
I love that diagonal gradient, it looks so good with those colors! But I admit, my main thought when watching this video was that you would fit right in here in Green Bay with that eye look😅 I can't say I've ever heard that kind of gibberish, we always spoke pig latin when I was a kid. Mitigate is a fun word, though!
Glitter gradient!🥰🤩😍
The best!!! Haha
Never tried these before because I always forget to buy the stuff, but this video reminded me that I should. I have a feeling wide square cuticles are going to work a lot better with liquid latex than those pre-shaped tape guard things.
I have to do some more gradients again, they're so much fun and super pretty 😍💕✨
They really end up looking so gorgeous, I just love combining different colors!
Hi Kelli! All these are great ideas for today. As it's Holi today, the festival of colours, in India 😊
Happy Holi!
Happy Holi, Kamna!!!
Loved this video. Thanks for all the ideas. I've done the first 2 lots of times but definitely going to try the smoochy one. You're the best!! Love your hair the way it is now
Oh gosh thank you so much!!!
Such a cool video! Thanks for sharing your gradient tips!
Glad it was helpful! 😁😁😁
All of them are so pretty, but my favorite is the glitter. I have never tried it yet and have tiny nails. Looking forward to see how my first one comes out.
Nice technique
Thanks Diana!! 💜
After there's colorstreet strips come off I'm totally going to try a gradient! I've done stamping and hand drawn art but not a gradient yet! Now I really want to!!
Just painted my nails last night but I'm so tempted to do a new gradient mani :)
Yes! My mother taught me gibberish and pig Latin, lol. So much fun! My favorite word is 'putrid'. You can feel that word. You don't have to understand English to know something is nasty when you hear putrid. It's a fun word, lol
GREAT VIDEO THANKS
Hi Kelli, I just recently started getting into nail polish and nail art (one of my ever-expanding list of pandemic hobbies lol) and I love watching all your videos! I'm an astronomy enthusiast too, and my bf ordered two of the Starrily planets polishes for me and I'm soo friggin excited!
I don't know if it matters much, but which clear top coat do you usually use/prefer?
Damn, I'm late today. Where you at notification squad?
🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
🙌🙌🙌🙌
I like the words fiduciary and tertiary. I’m so going to try some of these even though I’m not good at gradients.
also did you ever tried using essence nail polish? it's the only good one that i use and buy here in germany :)
An easy trick to blend gradients is to use a light iridescent topper! Works like magic!
Can you please tell us more about the barriers you used to prevent polish from getting on your fingers and cuticles? Are they easy to use? How do you like them? TIA. I'm a new subscriber and I just love your videos!
I use the square/rectangular end of the sponge and then once it's dry, you can cut the top off and use the sponge over and over until it's too small.
I have a hell of a time using a brush to cleanup around my cuticle because I also have deep nail beds. This is my biggest frustration, and after having been using polish regularly for over 10 years, I still struggle to get a clean line around my nail. Whenever I use a brush to clean up my cuticle, it just smears it around and ruins the entire nail. I have used a real hair brush (like a paint brush), an eye makeup brush, and an artificial type brush. Am I using the wrong type of brush or too much polish remover?
When you use the little peel off polish thingies, do you roll them down your cuticle? As in, does it sit flat on top of your cuticle or do you kinda push it down and wrap it around your cuticle to keep it clean? I have an issue where I just approach my cuticle and don't get it on there, but my cuticles harden and then the polish gets all bunched up in there.
I would love to see a nail polish 101 on all the different ways to keep your cuticles clean (not how to care for them, how to deal with polish in/around or chipped from the cuticle).
I think a cool video would be a compilation of some of these gradient techniques with different colors or types of polish.
Using glitter polishes, I can overlap the color lines with the brushes. Really easy.
Ooh yes smart trick!
This is so crazy! I just happened to do a gradient last night with a different glitter from the Breakfast at Tiffany's collection. I was wearing Icelanded a bottle of OPI and dabbed on Champagne for Breakfast with the brush (because I'm lazy). I thought it looked very elegant and perfect for a special occasion. Now I want to practice doing sponge-on gradients.
wow..i never had so good gradient on my nails...wow thank you for teaching me....ok wait my english is so bad and my money just goes brrrr bc i buy to much nailpolish.....anyway have a good day/night and stay safe and keep the good work going :)
HAH! What timing, I just did a gradient this morning. :D Also, I am so glad you say Gradient instead of Hombre. I could never get on the hombre train. Been using Photoshop too long I guess. ;) As for barriers, I swear by tape. Latex just does NOT stick to my skin for whatever reason. I dab the sponge on the nail, and the latex sticks to the sponge, comes RIGHT up off my skin. So tape works much better. I did go without any barrier a while back, and was like "I always have to do cleanup anyway, what's a little more?" except it's NOT just a little more.. having used no barrier like.. quadrupeled the time it took to clean up. So yeah, HIGHLY advise using some form of barrier around the nail to make cleanup easier!! And finally, I'm surprised you didn't cover reciprocal gradients in this video! I know you've covered them before, but I thought you'd show one here. No biggie tho, it IS a slightly more advanced technique!
Haha yeah tape is my go-to lately because it's easy and cheap. But I really liked these barriers, they really got close to the skin. I'll have to order more!
Also, I spoke Pig Latin growing up, rather than Gibberish. ^_^
Gradients are sooooo pretty but something I'll have to build up to--I can barely avoid deluging my cuticles with nail polish, feel like I need to master that before I attempt anything else. Thanks for the liquid latex/nail protector tip, will look into them.
We called that language "gibberish" too! I never thought about how words like "mitigate" sound like gibberish
Haha well now you'll always think of it !
