What's Up Nails Holographic Powder!

Hi lovelies! I'm back with another awesome product from What's Up Nails! I'm my last post featuring WUN I used the mermaid flakies, if you'd like to see that post you can find it here. Today I'll be showing you the nailart look I did using their Holographic powder. I don't know how I've lived so long without it in my life. Seriously.

What's Up Nails Holographic Powder

This little jar of powder might not look like much now, but don't let it fool you!

I started with 2 coats of Madam Glam soak off gel in Perfect Black. I applied a liquid latex barrier to help with the clean up. Then one nail at a time I applied a coat of Madam Glam no wipe top coat. As soon as my nail was cured I applied the powder. I, like most applied mine with a foam eye shadow applicator which works great. I also then scrubbed it in a little more with my Purjoi silicone nail tool. I'll include a photo I took from my phone showing it later on. After removing the latex and excess powder from my fingers I applied one more coat of MG no wipe top coat and cured for 30 seconds.

Here's what my finished manicure looked like.

I moved my lights back a bit for a better idea of the holo I was seeing with my eyes.

I literally can't even. Hello holo!! A little of this goes a long way my friends! And I can't wait to use it some more. I wore this Mani for a bit and decided I wanted to stamp over it.

But first here's the insta pic showing the Purjoi silicone tool I used!

For easier clean up I slapped on some Purjoi Liquid Nail Tape (one of my favorites because it dries to a green apple scent)! Here's a before the peel action:

And after peeling two nails worth:

Excellent aid if you ask me! Hardly any clean up left for me to do.

Loving the final look, using UberChic Beauty Texture-Licious 02 mini plate for the splatter image.

flakies

What's Up Nails Mermaid Flakies!

Hello lovelies! I was sent some beautiful products from What's Up Nails and I am so, so excited! In today's post I'll be breaking down and of course sharing photos of the manicure I came up with using their Mermaid Flakies!

The first thing I noticed is that these mermaid flakies are very thin... this makes me so happy! There is nothing worse than having a flakie or shard that is too stiff and just pokes right through your top coat. Well no worries because that won't be happening with these!

To start the base of my manicure off I applied a coat of white polish and allowed it dry. Following that I applied a coat of quick dry top coat. When that was dry to the touch I applied a liquid latex barrier for easier clean up! Next I applied random spots of a dark blue and purple polish to a make up sponge and pounced it on my nails. Once I had all of my fingers done I went back in with a piece of airy foam kitchen sponge to add some touches of white.

I'm glad I decided to add some spots of white to my darker base. It really shows off how awesome the Mermaid Flakies are!

Once the base nail art was dry, it was time to apply my flakies! To pick up and apply my flakies I cut down the make up sponge I had used earlier. Now to adhere the flakies.... I applied a very thin coat of my sticky base coat and allowed it to dry for a few seconds. Dipped my make up sponge into the flakies and pressed it onto my nail. Repeat! This made things so easy. It pressed them nicely into the sticky base coat with little effort. I removed my liquid latex, cleaned up and top coated!

Finally, a pic of the manicure! 😅

As you can see over the darker colors the flakies pull blue, green and teal and over the white they turn pink and yellow! Ugh so beautiful! These look amazing over black with a nice glossy top coat. And I bet they'd look great with a Matte top coat as well!

I couldn't stop here, I just needed to add one last touch....

Just a little mermaid tail inspired stamping using a fishscale pattern from UberChic Beauty Mermaid Life plate. And Topped it with Hk Girl top coat from Glisten & Glow.

I think it's easy to say that I am in love with this manicure and the flakies themselves! Fantastic. The mermaid flakies retail for $21.75.
