I had seen gel manis like this on the internet and wanted to try this out myself. My "blobs" didn't turn out as defined as I wanted, but I got the experience.

China Glaze - Hot Flash with IBD - Celfie in Amalfi
COATS:

COMMENTS:
I really liked this color in the bottle, but it looked a little neon on me and I didn't want to wear it just as a solid color. The IBD polish was nearby so I layered it over the red.

Holographic foil mani
COATS:
1
SOURCE:
Aliexpress.com
COMMENTS:
This was a really blingy one! I purchased a set of nail foils from Aliexpress and this one screamed to be tried out first. It's a holo background with a lace print in black - like foil and stamping in one. Application was fine using foil glue over 1 coat of American Apparel Hassid. I started topcoating them with a no-wipe gel topcoat, but that wasn't curing as shiny as I liked, so I redid a few nails and used a gel-like polish topcoat (Sally Hansen Miracle Gel Top Coat) instead.

These are supposed to be color change gels but they don't change much at all. I stamped for a bit of added whimsy.

Le Chat Mood Gel - Atlantis - over previous Gelaze mani
COATS:
1 over previous manicure
SOURCE:
Skyline Beauty Supply
COMMENTS:
Since I knew this temperature change gel would be sheer/clear when warm, I decided to combine it with my previous mani as the base. It was fun watching the color change!

This one was tricky to capture on camera because my phone and my camera didn't agree on what it looked like. It's definitely a subtle holo, and I'm a bit disappointed that it required 3 coats for full coverage.
