Pink Holo Ombre | DIY Nail Art Tutorial

[@dragonluvher]

I liked that you included the trial and error process. It makes me appreciate the process more. :-) thanks for another great video!

[@dragonjoy1313]

This is one of my favorite looks you've done, and that's saying A LOT! I'm so thankful you show the trial and error, it doesn't make me feel so bad!

[@MSLP]

Almost every mani has a ton of trial & error, even the ones that get that part edited out LOL

[@holly8320]

I honestly enjoy seeing the trial and error process! Love the way it turned out though, absolutely gorgeous!

[@nikki333Vault]

Holly P Me too

[@g-max2810]

Me 4 😂🤣

[@yolandamunoz8548]

I'm so happy you kept it real, it's frustrating when your vision doesn't turn out the way you want, but this is really awesome, i love the way your mani turned out, it's really beautiful.

[@Vidgamechx]

I really like how you showed trial and error. Most nail videos only show the perfect run. Much appreciated!

[@jamie514]

The pink ombre base was lovely and the final silver holo being more subtle, works really well!

[@sherriesteller5905]

Love that you showed all trys. Everything turned out beautiful...

[@tinamartyn2575]

I love that you show that every thing you tey doesn't work out but you keep going to get the beautiful nails . Love the nails

[@WP.Orzabal]

This is very reminiscent of Lisa Frank's designs! So pretty Colette!

[@coconutjkita]

Thanks so much for showing when you have issues! It makes me feel less frustrated and I give up less easily knowing I'm not just a failure, it's normal and that I should keep trying. Love it!

[@beviwaphillips3328]

Cant believe ive been with you since 2009. Im 17 now and Im ADDICTED to nail polish and your channel ❤😍

[@karriecurtis8298]

Gorgeous!!!! It's nice to know I'm not the only one that hits bumps in the road! Thank you for sharing the journey!

[@emicperfume]

I like that you show the whole process, what goes wrong as well as what goes well. It's much more helpful and interesting than the unrealistic vids where they pretend that everything is always perfect! The nails turned out great though!!

[@nailsbyosta1269]

Omg. This is literally how I do my nails every week. I mull over ideas in my head and then when I sit down to create, I find issues with application and end up redirecting to what's easier and what works! So glad you left in the blooper. Makes is more relatable. I think this would have been pretty with a sheer gold holo. Would have had a sweet retro vibe to it. Let us know what the issue was with the gold when you find out! Thanks

[@jaykb6587]

When I get into problems, I like to pull out a pop stick. Experimenting on a throw away is so less frustrating. :-)

[@3rmbt81]

I'm so glad you posted the part that showed the gold not working because I was having the same problem with a holo powder that I tried and I didn't know what was causing it not to work if it was the holo powder, the light or the polishes. I loved how urs came out!

[@AbbeyKat]

Love this! I have a color club pink holo that looks like this but without the gradient obviously. It's a nice frosty pink. I love it for the 'holodays' when I get sick of red and green. lol

[@handsomebynatasja2947]

I'am glad you show us the whole process, not funny for you but it is the reality and for me a bless that I'am not the only one😅 Love the result!!💖

[@ChaosCatsClub]

I think it's really likeable that you even show us when something is not working like it should.

[@gwenturner4612]

It looked good with the gold holo had a marble feel to it even though that wasn't your desired look the finally look was so cute 😍

[@ssue4q]

hey Colette I love the pink ombre number one and I actually liked the spotty gold I haven't watched the whole video yet but I know it's going to turn out marvelous

[@kattay11]

So worth it in the end! Absolutely gorgeous!

[@mauramaige1833]

I absolutely love the way it turned out, way better then before, gonna try this for sure

[@kaeliannmarie7630]

Even though this isn't what you wanted in the beginning, I absolutely love it 😍

[@jaykb6587]

I apologize for laughing at this, but... It is just so nice to see someone else have a bad nail day. Actually, doing a video like this is so educational. It shows how someone else problem solves. Today I have tried to trim my nails down about 1/3 of their length. It was one of those days here, too. The nails just kept being uneven, so my clippers and file kept on clipping and filing... I was due for nails down to the tips of my fingers... Shortest in years! So I was glad to see this one work out for you! (Beautiful work on that ombre!) Me? Another month or so... 😂

[@mrs.schrado7421]

JayKB I never use clippers on my nails. Too unpredictable. I've had days that I just left my nails a bit crooked and came back to them with a file the next day.

[@jaykb6587]

Mrs. Schrado I SO hear you! With my asthma so bad this year my patience... isn't! 😃 When I am taking them down that far, filing is too much to deal with. I had only shaped the rounding, not beheaded them for over a month. After that much neglect, clippers!😂. And repentance before morning. But... my typing speed is back up to 100+😂

[@cu4wur6023]

Great set ! Appreciate you sharing...and soooo patient too!❤️👏🏻💅🏻🙋‍♀️🌈

[@JamileSimao]

Thats the prettiest mani ive ever seen, im in love

[@caitlinjones6656]

Omg this is my absolute favorite one you've ever done!!! Perfection!!

[@casseyhill1926]

I admire you persistence and the end result was beautiful

[@tashkl60]

Turned out very pretty 👍

[@jennw6809]

I really love the way this came out, and the ombre showed up so well in the still photos! You are so calm, and it was so nice to know that even you get frustrated occasionally. We've all been there doing nail art!! I suspect it was the powder itself, it seems to be an unusual texture. It is strange that it came from a set that worked well for you otherwise, but it's possible the gold holo was just not good quality. It probably wasn't your fault at all. I will be interested to see if you can make it work eventually.

[@coyanikki]

They turned out gorgeous at least! Princess nails!

[@wnnabnrml]

Very pretty. Been following you for 7 or 8 years. I have LEARNED. A lot from your science experiments. 😂

[@ssperkins77]

I Enjoyed the video. Thank you for showing the ups and downs of nail art.🌸

[@robinhanff4248]

I think they turned out really pretty

[@msstarberry1]

Very pretty...I like your attitude about the gold..Never give up!!!

[@NailArtLove73]

you can even tell the difference between the two pigments. the gold is a glitter the silver is actually pigment. I learned this from trial and error too. I got a silver from wish and it ended up just like this gold. but it did still work. I just had a hard time with it. love the outcome of this one!

[@rachelhains4396]

So so beautiful 😍. I need this mani on my nails now!

[@michelle90104]

Love how it turned out.

[@SuHu62]

I know it isn't what you were looking for, but it turned out great. Thanks for letting us see all the frustrating bits. FYI - the gold pigment looked more like a brassy orange than gold on my end. How would you describe it in person?

[@MSLP]

I wouldn't necessarily describe it as brassy, but it is kind of a very dark yellow type of gold

[@katjaxxx7353]

PS: I love your clm voice - most people are so loud - thank you, your nails are awesome.

[@corynmay7463]

Brand new sub. Your really good and I’ve been watching all your vids but I also really appreciate you showing mistakes. Some youtubers don’t wanna show their mistakes so they seem perfect.i found you thru simplynailogical.

[@CherylMooreGlittersAndMoore]

I'm sorry that the gold holo didn't work. Your work is so nice. Thank you for showing us that it doesn't always work how you intend, cause that sure happens to me as well.

[@katjaxxx7353]

I live in London, have never seen nails like that, wow, would love to have them.

[@daciavue9404]

It's always harder to do your own nails. I'm wearing a set now that didn't quite turn out like I envisioned. Makes me a little furious, lol But it's all a learning curve right? You did a beautiful job! And the end result was just Gorgeous!

[@andreamislosky-garner5324]

Please please please do a colab with Cristine Simplynailogical where you marble her nails PLEASE!

[@donzagrant588]

Wow this was simply beautiful.

[@amandajh2280]

These look gorgeous 💕

[@silverart1224]

You always do perfectly..

[@nataliecook962]

Love that u also makes mistakes its alot of trial and error with some products, i had a similar experience with a chrome powder and found that if i slightly under cure the top coat i dont have any problems then a full cure once i top coat the chrome.

[@JJMedusa]

Another gorgeous manicure!!! 😀👍💅

[@karinasnaildesigns]

They turned out awesome I'm going to give this a try 😁 Someone probably has already put this but I had some like the gold one I used it on a tacky top coat and it worked not sure if that will work or not but worth a shot 😊 tfs 💕

[@afrikurl]

Sometimes with a no wipe topcoat, it becomes sticky again if you wipe it with alcohol right before you rub it in.

[@sharileighretsof4790]

Ok I thought for maybe a different video leave it patchy. It looked like marble or granite. Beautiful result!❤️😍

[@bigbirdshits331]

Wonderful work! Keep it up! 🤤❤️😍

[@itsjoanne.x]

Everything comes with trial and errors so don't worry if it isn't perfect at first, your nails looked beautiful in the end :) good job !! Xx

[@realisticskypearson606]

Sometimes you have to play with the curing time. I found that curing for half the time for bigger holo's like the gold seems to work. I hope this helps. I use this on all of my flakie and bigger glitters.

[@MzSanchez87]

They gorgeous!!

[@sharonbuchanan3123]

A beautiful ombré Colette 🌸😍 shame the elite99 gold holo didn't work but I think it would of been Slightly too dense anyway 🙂 I feel your frustration but in the end it came together beautifully 💅💝...great tutorial TY 😘xox

[@4theloveofnailbling308]

So different colour tacos have different rules ? So pretty in the end 💜🤍💙

[@4theloveofnailbling308]

Going to look for your purple one now as purple is my favourite 🤍💙💜

[@reinaestrella2010]

They still looks great even though that's not what you were going for! 😁😁

[@susidefour5257]

3rd time was a charm, Honey...ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS!!!!! :)

[@angelakostuch6776]

I'm kinda late to the vid but hopefully I can help someone with this problem in the future. Wipe the nail with a little alcohol or acetone just before applying powder. Nail has to be gel top coat to use acetone though. Always does the trick 4 me. Silver still turned out beautiful.

[@user-dm2te8cv1i]

Your videos are the best!!!

[@rrhopewell]

Beautiful colors

[@southpaw8276]

It came out Awesome!!

[@yaniraplasencia4011]

I just wanted to through the video and hug 🤗 you,it turned out beautiful, love ❤️ it

[@nicolehj8416]

Im sorry but I laughed when you were having a bloopers moment.These turned out great❤

[@rebeccacoddington4402]

Beautiful 😍

[@MSLP]

Thanks!

[@PRINCESSNAILSBYDIANA]

They ended up looking extremely beautiful. Im in LOVE with them Collette! FABTASTIC job!!! I have this problem ALL the time🤬😱🤯and I get a semi of wat u came up with. But it NEVER EVER works 4 me and I thought it was cause I had cheap holo powder so I ordered the born pretty 1z but I still have the same problem. PLEASE help me if u figure it out. Thanks again Collette💅👣🦄🦁💋

[@MSLP]

I'm still not 100% sure what happened, but I think it's that this particular jar wasn't actually a pigment, but just a very fine glitter. Sometimes it can be hard to tell which is which just by looking, at least for me

[@rebeccahodgson5742]

i had holo powder like that once, u need to pat it on first so it sticks then you need to buff it in to make it super holo x

[@AwesomeMandy]

This looks so cool!

[@sassyfamilie]

So sad for you to have this problem with the gold holo,but this sier holo?OOOOOOOOOO MAMAAAA ❤❤❤❤👏👏👏👏👏👏I LOVE IT,❤❤❤❤❤beauteful result sweety 😃 sweet greetings, sassyfamilie 😉 thump up for this video 👍

[@heidi6308]

Very pretty!

[@elizabethandersen6009]

Love it!! Good job!! Reality 😁

[@elainecordella1542]

Love the silver holo better great video

[@heatherwelberry1]

With that gold holo I have found that I need to put it over a WIPE top coat that I have only dry wiped LIGHTLY to remove SOME of the sticky layer. You have to have that semi sticky top coat for the gold holos.. don't know why. Happens every time.

[@MSLP]

thanks for the tip!

[@Adoriaclub47]

Looks so pretty and sophisticated

[@tookierl]

Bless your heart. At least it ended up turning out beautiful!

[@debragrimm6820]

I love this look😍😍😘 tfs

[@MichelleLewis1969]

I picked up the Sally Hansen's chrome today in pink. Have you tried it and if so, did you like it? Thanks! Love your videos :)

[@MSLP]

I have the whole set (if you mean the ones I think) but I don't think I've used the pink yet. I love the silver

[@MichelleLewis1969]

It's the "salon chrome" kit that has the no light gel in it and some chrome powder... I may try them over the weekend but it's my first ever try so...lol. :) I've learned a ton from you so hopefully my memory will do me right ;) Thanks

[@MSLP]

Oh, that is not the one I was thinking of at all! LOL I meant just the chrome polishes. I haven't seen that kit around here but I hope it works out well for you!

[@MichelleLewis1969]

bit.ly/2x1qeKx is what I got. I picked mine up at Walgreens on sale, but Target has it too... :)

[@MSLP]

I'll have to check it out if it ever shows up here ... I kept seeing those sinful transforming top coats on instagram for like a month, finally hit my local stores last week

[@pggysu]

I've had that issue. In my case, turns out it was one particular no wipe top coat with that brand of powder I was using. Very embarrassing since it was after numerous successes and I was doing it for a friend that one time. 😕😞. Beautiful result, BTW. 😍

[@elainetucker6960]

Even knowing your gold power was wanting to have a mind the look you had to go for is really pertty

[@Morjority]

Love this mani!

[@TehKitteh01]

Am I the only one who liked the random spots of gold holo at first?

[@MSLP]

i'll say I liked them more when I watched it back than when it was actually happening LOL

[@petrescuework-difficultcas6581]

Looked a bit like gold leave flakes. I liked that too ^^

[@ChristinaVVM]

Any no wipe topcoat is right, however if the "chrome" sucks it sucks. I've bought some off of aliexpress and wish and ended up with glitter that doesn't stick to anything. I try and stick to companies that are tried and true, Wildflowers, Exclusive Nail Couture and the like. It's more expensive than the $2-$3 but it looks great every single time :) This is a gorgeous mani! I'm going to try and replicate it if you don't mind :)

[@MSLP]

I wouldn't mind at all, I'm always glad when I can inspire someone to try one of my manis =)

[@Chafalota]

THAT'S VERY TRUE. THE SAME THING HAS HAPPEND TO ME WITH THE ALIEXPRESS ONES. THEN I HAVE THE EXPENSIVE GOOD QUALITY ONES FROM DAILY CHARM AND SOCIAL CLAWS AND THEY ARE THE BEST !!!

[@MissG40]

Christina Matzen The Chrome you got off of wish that you find doesn't stick to anything I have a glittery holo Chrome one from wish and the elite99 brand will stick to that use your finger and Pat it on

[@231alphamale]

no, no, no, it's *taco*

[@VolumePerfection]

Omgg its so beautifulllll

[@joannamccloud]

Very pretty.

[@poldi2310]

I love them 😙😙💘

[@MissG40]

I have this issue with my sparkly Holo I find if I use the tacky finish and use my finger to Pat it on the nail it goes on good. ( try this and see if that works for you)

[@jenn13277]

I love it!!

[@jctexas6333]

ESPETACULAR *-*

[@cotyalvarado77]

Hello there! Is there any special base coat that you have to use in order to use this holo powder on your natural nails? I see you used a gel and cured it....but is it necessary to use a gellac base coat? Or would something like Essie Gel Setter base coat suffice? Thank you!!

[@MSLP]

I use my usual peel off base so I don't have to deal with the hassle of normal gel removal.

[@redsoxgirl51282]

Love the video's you do. Hey wanted to let you know that Defy & Inspire the polish line from Target has a holographic's collection. I was in Target yesterday and they had 7 different one's. They are on sale right now for $6.99 until tomorrow but they normally sell for $7.49. I posted a video on here of them, and mind you the flash on my video was used as they are only holo in direct sunlight or flash. The names on them are much similar to the china glaze hologlams collection

[@MSLP]

I'll have to check them out - I've seen that brand, but no holos the last time I was at Target

[@redsoxgirl51282]

They stamp and marble too. I got the rose gold one and the black one

[@natalieshort1678]

Oh i looove this!!!!!

[@potaterzjuice9270]

i want to do these with blue or yellow so bad!!

[@EssenceofPolish]

I liked the purple version and i could see the purple through the holo..the pink is more visible but i could still see the purple too..was this harder to peel off wit all the extra layers of gel

[@MSLP]

we'll see - I still have it on, although my thumb's polish popped off at the fair today. I'll probably peel it in the morning

[@ssue4q]

okay finished the whole thing that just came out really beautiful it's so weird right because the gold is exactly like the silver right how weird is that anyway I look so forward to your weekly tutorials I think you're like my very favorite again just beautiful but I did like just the spotted gold I mean if you were going for a different look

[@MSLP]

There was a moment when I almost went with the spotted gold, but it was so far from what I was going for I don't think I accepted it looked cool on its own LOL

[@JuMaRi615]

Thanks for showing us your fails. That's how we learn

[@mrs.schrado7421]

In the thumbnail I thought you had used a pearly holo pigment. I guess the pink really lightened up the silver. It did turn out looking good! Is the gold stuff actually a pigment? To me it looked less fine than the silver, but that could be the camera playing tricks. Thanks for showing the mess up. Obviously wish you hadn't have had to deal with it. It makes my mess ups feel a little less odd XD

[@MSLP]

Well, I thought it was, but I hadn't looked at it closely before I tried to use it. I think it is more of a fine glitter, even though it came in a set of pigments

[@SuperCripple]

Do you think the gold holo may have worked better if applied beneath the seche vite or pink gellac? Or does that ruin the holo aspect?

[@jaykb6587]

Holos usually need to be put on top of gel or maybe acrylics. At least my limited experience has shown that I have to put it on my gel topcoat to have any success.
