Video Tutorial: Essie Winter Nail Art

Happy Thanksgiving All!
Here’s a little winter nail art design i created on a whim when i recieved the new Essie Gel Couture Holiday Shades for 2017.

These nails turned out to be a perfect blend of sparkle with a simple winter snowflake design.  A fairly simple look to achieve too!

Here’s what i used:

I always use Proclaim – Super Bond Hair Bond Glue—to mask off my skin when i use a sponge for stamping gradients.  It’s a great #beautyhack for liquid nail masking fluid for 1/2 the price.  You can this latex hair bond glue at any Sally Beauty Supply store.
It comes in white or black.   It makes clean up a breeze and a lot less expensive then buying a “nail masking fluid” by a nail polish brand.  Plus it lasts longer.

Clear Base Coat – Probelle Nail Maintanence

• 1 coat of Gold Gilding (Essie Gel Couture)
• Sponge gradient with Gold Guilding & Born Pretty Store Holographic Powder at the tip
• #M59 Snowflake Stamp Plate (my plate is an older model… newer plates with snowflakes are now available)
• Clear Jelly Stamper – Born Pretty Store
•  amethyst noir (Essie Gel Couture)
• Non-reactive clear top coat – Sophi Top Coat (Piggy Paint)

Take a look at my video tutorial below.
