Holographic Nails

If you’ve been keeping up with Just Peachy, I did a post called Chrome Nails and I promised you a post about holographic nails. That day has come!

I purchased chrome pigment from Ocean Nail Supply and after being amazed with the results, I had to go back for more…but for holo. For those of you who don’t know how this product works, it’s a pigment powder that can be applied on top of any light cured polish of choice.

Follow these steps for a flawless, lasting set of holographic nails:

1. Step 1: Prep nails thoroughly (as normal).
2. Step 2: Apply base. Cure 30 seconds.
3. Step 3: 2 coats of color. Cure 30 seconds/coat. I find that brighter neons (pinks, blues, oranges) look amazing underneath the pigment.
4. Step 4: Apply 1 coat of Gossip Gel from Ocean Nail Supply. Cure 30 seconds.
5. Step 5: Apply holographic pigment thoroughly with a brush or makeup sponge to each nail. Do not cure, or wipe. Click here for tutorials.
6. Step 6: This step is optional. Apply a thin layer of soak off clear gel (I use Gelish Structure Gel). I like to do this step for extra protection and strength. Cure 30 seconds.
7. Step 7: Seal with top coat. Cure 30 seconds.

For my set (as seen above) I applied a periwinkle color as the base called  “Aim to Chill” by Artistic Color Gloss . One thing I will say about holo pigment is that it changes in different lighting. There are times when I catch my nails looking icy blue, or slate grey, and SUPER holo in direct sunlight. #mesmerizing 

Is this a look you’d try?
