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!

@KelliMarissa 7 лет назад

+Zaina_1124! LOL! You're not the only one who has told me that, I'm so happy you enjoy them :)

@KZ-dp7rb 2 года назад

That and spend waaay too much on it all and then never get the motivation, time or confidence to actually do it lol . It seems to never get used much

@GYPS33 2 года назад

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.

@TheBentNeedle 5 лет назад

I love that you have short nails and still do all these videos.

@kaytlynjackson684 7 лет назад

"Started doing gradients and then got into other stuff" Yeah. That's actually exactly correct😂😂

Returning to nail art after a 20-year hiatus (hello!) Your video is extremely informative. You are very easy on the eyes with a great smile and perfect white teeth. You are a natural at your videos.

@KelliMarissa 5 лет назад

Oh wow thanks so much Kelly! Hope it went well :)

@GYPS33 2 года назад

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.

@lozzylols 7 лет назад

I have finally found how to do fab nails! I'm sooo off to get all the supplies tomorrow, liquid latex already ordered online! Thanks Kelli, can't wait to watch more of your vids x

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!

@KelliMarissa 3 года назад

@Gotaluvpolish 7 лет назад

This is so in-depth! I love it. I already knew this but mostly from trial and error on my own or some blog tutorials. This is great for someone who doesn't have a clue how to do any of this. Question: do you have video tutorial on how you get your latex from the jar to a nail polish bottle?

@KelliMarissa 7 лет назад

+Gotaluvpolish hey! Thanks so much :) I do actually have a video on transferring liquid latex, it's linked in the cards!

@Plantje1999 7 лет назад

btw you did a video about the dry brush technique (i think i spelled that wrong😂) but i really liked it but every time i do it, it just looks weird.. maybe you could do a video about that?

@KelliMarissa 7 лет назад

@Barbara7810X Месяц назад

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

@KelliMarissa Месяц назад

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 Месяц назад

@@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!).

@HavenLily 7 лет назад

I just found your channel from the 25sweetpeas blog. She listed you in her top 5 nail youtube channels. This video is so helpful. I have done my own acrylic nails for years, but I am just getting into nail art. I want to do a gradient of orange and yellow and stamp a monarch butterfly on it and this will definitely help me. You have the best personality and your eye shadow is gorgeous!!

@KelliMarissa 7 лет назад

+HavenLily hey, yeah I saw that! I was so honored to be on her list :) but I'm so glad you found me! I hope this video helps you out with your gradient, you'll have to let me know how it goes! And thank you so much :)

@notapapaya8393 7 лет назад

@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!

@KelliMarissa 7 лет назад

+Not A Papaya haha can I say I love your username?? I am glad you clarified you're not a papaya because honestly I wasn't sure from the comment! It sounded very papaya-like. LOL. Anyway, I'm so glad you enjoy my videos! I'm definitely going to tackle a black and white gradient again, I don't remember why it's always failed in the past for me!

@toodlerue 2 года назад

Thank you for the great video. With the process be the same to do the gradient with gel polish? Do you think it makes a difference if you get the sponge wet and squeeze out most of the water?

@frozen-marvel8301 7 лет назад

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 7 лет назад

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

@frozen-marvel8301 7 лет назад

+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

@curly6098 7 лет назад

I'm glad I subscribed! You are so funny and I love your tips,also btw I love clouds too & I'm also from NJ originally,Lawrenceville to be exact and I miss cloud watching(which is not dumb) your videos are awesome!🤘☁💖😊

+Curly 609 haha hey I'm glad you subscribed too! And I swear the clouds here in Georgia are so much prettier :P but maybe it's just that I never appreciated them before when I was in NJ!

@nhillborn2 4 года назад

Love this video! A lot of helpful information. Can’t wait to try it. Can/should you put a top coat on your base before doing your gradient?

@KelliMarissa 4 года назад

Hey Nicole! Skip the top coat until you've got the gradient finished - otherwise it'll keep the colors from fully blending!

@michellelyman7092 7 лет назад

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.

@KelliMarissa 7 лет назад

+Michelle Lyman haha it's surprising how small changes can make such a difference! I hope you try it again :)

@mrskrys4572 4 года назад

Love your videos. Thank you. Question: would you say all these same principles apply to gel nail polish? Also, do you know if the latex can go under LED/UV light? Thank you😍🧡🤗

@KelliMarissa 4 года назад

To be honest, I don't know the answer to either :( I'm not very well versed in gels, still a beginner with them and I don't know how latex might react with led/UV!

Hi Kelli! Loved this video! Would this technique work with gel nail polish?

@KelliMarissa 5 лет назад

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

Great tutorial! can you explain how to do a circle gradient? some people call them radial ombre. thanks for sharing your hints!

@KelliMarissa 7 лет назад

+Debra Quenqua ooh yes I did a video on that a while back but it was a sponsored one and I think that upset a lot of people LOL so I really should do another!

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. 💅

Ooooh! I have been using colors that were too far apart to make it look good! I'll have to try again with closer colors. Thanks!

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!🇨🇭🙋‍♀️

@KelliMarissa 7 лет назад

+Cheyenne Aguirre hey Cheyenne! Welcome to my channel :) :) I'm sorry to hear you're not allowed to have painted nails at work but I guess that makes sense for a hygienic environment, haha! 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!!!

@danielasarmiento30 7 лет назад

Thanks for all the tips! I've found kitchen sponges are good for applying glitter, but it does leave horrid results for gradients. I like looking at shapes in clouds, I think it's fun

@KelliMarissa 7 лет назад

+Daniela Sarmiento ooh thanks for sharing Daniela! I love looking at all the different shapes of the clouds too :) :)
