I am so fascinated by that radial gradient!!! I didn't even know that was possible
Oh yeah it's so fun but it's hard 🤣 I really want to master it!
@@KelliMarissa I'll have to try it on a day when I have a ton of time to kill 😂😂 I feel like I could put a planet in the senter and it could be like it has its own little aura!
Glitter is my go-to. It can be touched up in a snap
And it's a great way to cover up any chips from a previous mani haha!
@@KelliMarissa I've lost track of how many manis ended up with gold trim because I chipped something. It's a feature, not a bug!
Kelli as soon as I saw the glitter gradient I knew I wanted it for my daughter's wedding in May
On the radial, cut your sponge to match the curve of your cuticle and put one edge of the sponge right at the side of your nail. You will line it up perfectly every time.
That is a BRILLIANT idea!!!
I'm so happy you made this video because after seeing your gradient nail look that won you that OPI competition I realised you're literally the gradient queen.
Oh my gosh you are far too kind haha! It did revitalize my love for gradients though!!
The tie dye gradient is definitely my Easter look now! I love how inspiring this video is! I can’t believe I never thought about doing gradients differently from the classic horizontal!
Great tutorial! Radial gradients are my favorite! Mostly for stamping like you said! Especially for creepy moons at Halloween! 👻
YES they're so cool for like a spotlight on a creepy nail art look!!
Watching this at 5:20am on Monday morning in Australia!!
126 im the afternoon on Sunday in the US
Haha oh my gosh early bird!!
loved this video! gradients are my favorite nails to do
I usually think they're a pain because of cleanup but these barriers were awesome!
Gah! I love seems my favorite nail folks interacting! Love you both so much!
Love this video! Thank you! I am so impressed by gradients, but I’ve always been intimidated by them.
Oooh, I love the radial gradient! I don't think I knew that one existed!! I'm going to have to try that one of these days. Thanks Kelli!
Kelli your eyeshadow is so pretty! 😍
I've always loved using nail polish, but I just did my first gradient last week - a horizontal one - and I was so amazed by how gorgeous it looked! I did a mint green into blue, and I'm looking forward to trying out more combinations!
Just the basic gradient always makes me feel super fancy, even though it's way less work than stamping or nail vinyls or whatever. I'm trying the radial next. Thanks for the good ideas and tips!
Mitigate is a great word. We didn't do gibberish when I was a kid, but I would think that kind of thing is regional. We spoke pig Latin. I remember being bad at it and having to practice to get it right lol.
I work in anti-money laundering and I mitigate risk all day!! 😂😂 love that word too! 😂
Oh my gosh I need a job where I hear the term mitigate every day 🤣 I try to throw it into convos as often as possible hahaha
@@KelliMarissa LOL 😂 I went from using it not at all to using it at least 5 times a day 😂
I really love when you do videos like this so much ❤️ you make techniques like this feel so much more beginner friendly, and not quite so overwhelming and intimidating
Oh gosh thank you so much Sierra, I'm so happy you find them helpful 💜💜
You are crushing it with this content! 💪 Loving the uploads. I haven't had the courage to attempt a radial gradient. And I totally forgot about that variation on the vertical!
Also, yidiges tidigo Gidigibidigeridigish! I spoke that Ubbi Dubbi, Pig Latin...all of them.
Haha! I could never get the hang of pig Latin but gibberish was the coolest in my school!
I love the colors you picked for the third one. Would be so pretty for Fall. Never knew there was so many ways to gradient, but My nails are tiny too. Glitter gradients are my favorite. Love your eyeshadow look.
I love the metallic gradient!
Thank you so much!!
I had always been wanting to try the same combo of Holo Taco polishes! Yours turned out amazing😍 All the 6 are so pretty to be honest😀
Agreed! So fun for gradients!!
Love this video! Will definitely try the radial and splotches/tie dye methods. I bet they'd look good with some moon and galaxy themed stamping!
I loved this video. Definitely looking forward to a sequel. My favorite gradient was the vertical gradient with the darker edges. I've never seen that one before. In my area, we didn't speak the gibberish you referred to. We spoke "pig Latin". It's where you take off the first letter of a word and put it on the back with an added long a sound. ("Kelli" would be elli-Ka)
Oh, my, that radial gradient! WOOF! The colors you used and the way you did it looked amazing!
I love these holo gradients….they look stunning. I can’t wait to be able to start painting my nails again…. Hopefully in a few weeks. Not game to until my lifted nail has completely grown out 💜
I love gradients! I normally just do a horizontal one, but I like the look of the vertical too.
Thank you for this video! I've got so much inspiration for different gradients now 😁
Yesss do it!!!
Haven't done a gradient for a long time and I love them! Every once in a while I think about it, but then do something else. I have done the horizontal and vertical only so far, but love the side angled and the circular one. Will have to try next! Thank you for the refresher course!💜👍💅
Glad you enjoyed it Vickie!!!
Great video, Kelli! I tried a rainbow gradient for the first time (two different colors on each nail) and it was really difficult! I want to try it again! They look so pretty! Thank you! XOXO Heidi
My favorite gradient to do is a glitter gradient or one with sunset colors as a background for palm trees in the summer. Specific, I know lol.
I've never done a diagonal one, which I have to say is a great idea. I have very small nails and they're short, so I always struggle with fitting gradients and nail art on them.
I LOVE the colors you used on that diagonal gradient. Stunning!
I love that diagonal gradient, it looks so good with those colors! But I admit, my main thought when watching this video was that you would fit right in here in Green Bay with that eye look😅 I can't say I've ever heard that kind of gibberish, we always spoke pig latin when I was a kid. Mitigate is a fun word, though!
We need more options for peel off base coats, no store ( even sally beauty supply) sells them. I had to order on the internet. I'm excited to use it! 💜
Ooh yay you're gonna have so much fun!!
Yes. They seem to work differently depending on your own body chemistry. The best for me by far is Unt, which is getting hard to find. I think it's discontinued. It stays on until I remove it. Holo Taco is similar but I get more pop offs.
There's one - angel something- that literally ripped my nails coming off. It was actually scary. I want to warn anyone who uses a peely base but chemistry does make a big difference & it might be great for some people. There's got to be a reason it's still on the market.
@@gypsydonovan thank you, I didn't even consider that. I just got the unt ready for takeoff. 💜💅💜 Gonna probably use it Friday for an Easter gradient.
I do not like nail polish remover, it drives me crazy especially with glitters.
LA Colors has a peel off base coat that's very affordable and easy to find in dollar stores and it works pretty well for the price.
@@alwaysaroundproud I can't find it??? 😢
Dang, the radial one looks so interesting! I already have an enchanted forest idea to go along with it!
Yessssss more gradients!!! I love any video when you show us techniques and I would love to see more. It would also be cool to combine a gradient followup with another stamping video 😏
Your makeup is beautiful
Oh thank you so much :)
Wow! Maybe I will try a diagonal gradient now. Great tip!
That's a clever way to remember which way you're holding it up :D I always use the flat end of the wedge because it's easier to cut them off to use the rest of the sponge, I've never tried using the fat side like you're using here!
I do it the same way.
Glitter gradients are definitely my favorite! Would love to see more stamping videos, I'm always looking for more fun ideas to expand my stamping repertoire :-)
HAH! What timing, I just did a gradient this morning. :D Also, I am so glad you say Gradient instead of Hombre. I could never get on the hombre train. Been using Photoshop too long I guess. ;) As for barriers, I swear by tape. Latex just does NOT stick to my skin for whatever reason. I dab the sponge on the nail, and the latex sticks to the sponge, comes RIGHT up off my skin. So tape works much better. I did go without any barrier a while back, and was like "I always have to do cleanup anyway, what's a little more?" except it's NOT just a little more.. having used no barrier like.. quadrupeled the time it took to clean up. So yeah, HIGHLY advise using some form of barrier around the nail to make cleanup easier!! And finally, I'm surprised you didn't cover reciprocal gradients in this video! I know you've covered them before, but I thought you'd show one here. No biggie tho, it IS a slightly more advanced technique!
Haha yeah tape is my go-to lately because it's easy and cheap. But I really liked these barriers, they really got close to the skin. I'll have to order more!
Also, I spoke Pig Latin growing up, rather than Gibberish. ^_^
I attempted a gradient for the first time last weekend!! It was only partially successful but I feel that was more due to constant distractions than anything else. I'm hoping to attempt again soon!
Once you get the hang of it, they're so much fun to create! I bet you'll rock the next one!!
That color on your nails and those holo tacos on the diagonal gradient!! Love! And holy cow that radial gradient, I never knew that was a thing!
Haha YES it's tricky but it's so much fun when you get it right!
Ohhhhh that radial gradient 😍😍😍
I’m probably going to attempt a radial gradient today, so I’m here to refresh myself on the technique!
I love gradient nails! I love the horizontal!
Never tried these before because I always forget to buy the stuff, but this video reminded me that I should. I have a feeling wide square cuticles are going to work a lot better with liquid latex than those pre-shaped tape guard things.
Totally enjoyed this video. Will be trying all of these gradients!!
You read my mind Kelli! I was thinking about doing this yesterday! 😆 Your tutorial on gradients was the first one I watched when I decided to try it out and now I love doing them! 😍 All of my nails have gradients on them right now 😄. The holo diagonal is definitely my favorite. Could you do a tutorial on a creme to holo gradient? I've tried it in the past and I think it turned out ok, but some extra tips would be super helpful 😊
I need to practice more on gradients. They always look so great!
I tried doing a gradient for the first time a few days ago. I didn't realize there were so many different kinds. I did the horizontal and could only get 2 colors on with my short nails. I will have to experiment with these others. They're really pretty. I struggled with the liquid latex, so I think I will give the nail barriers a try. Thank for posting this!
Yeah sometimes I really mess up that latex just sticking my fingers together by accident or getting it on my actual nail haha! i'll def be buying more of these barriers.
Love the glitter gradient!
Using glitter polishes, I can overlap the color lines with the brushes. Really easy.
Ooh yes smart trick!
Loved this video. Thanks for all the ideas. I've done the first 2 lots of times but definitely going to try the smoochy one. You're the best!! Love your hair the way it is now
Oh gosh thank you so much!!!
I love doing gradients as well! You explained everything so good! I love scaled gradients, even though they are pretty hard haha
Just wanted to say thanks for your eyeshadow/nail polish video. My four year old daughter and I did it and she enjoyed it. She loves nail polishes and eyeshadow (which I hated until after I had her) and was on a science experiment kick so it was fun. Of course, she threw a tantrum that we only did a few, but hey. It was fun and the BH Galaxy eyeshadow palette gave us a nice polish

Haha thank you!!!
Excellent!!! Definitely rooting for a sequel on this one!!!💜💜💜
I think gibberish might be my favorite word... or gefile-fish. I have no idea how its spelled but I notice the two rhyme though. Lol!🤩
I have to do some more gradients again, they're so much fun and super pretty 😍💕✨
They really end up looking so gorgeous, I just love combining different colors!
After there's colorstreet strips come off I'm totally going to try a gradient! I've done stamping and hand drawn art but not a gradient yet! Now I really want to!!
I do really want to learn advanced techniques for gradients
wow..i never had so good gradient on my nails...wow thank you for teaching me....ok wait my english is so bad and my money just goes brrrr bc i buy to much nailpolish.....anyway have a good day/night and stay safe and keep the good work going :)
I'm not great at gradients, so I'm super pumped about this video!
Gradients are sooooo pretty but something I'll have to build up to--I can barely avoid deluging my cuticles with nail polish, feel like I need to master that before I attempt anything else. Thanks for the liquid latex/nail protector tip, will look into them.
Well I was just wondering what to paint my nails tonight or tomorrow and looks like I’m doing a gradient as now it’s on my mind 😂
Last one I attempted was for Valentine’s and I was so out of it I only added the new color to the sponge. Dabbed it on my nails and it was so bad! I need to redeem myself lol.
The difference between using both or one on the sponge is HUGE for smooth gradients.
I've only done the standard horizontal and the glitter gradient. I definitely want to try the radial and splotchy.
Definitely would like a part 2!
Yesss try them, it's so fun!!
This is so crazy! I just happened to do a gradient last night with a different glitter from the Breakfast at Tiffany's collection. I was wearing Icelanded a bottle of OPI and dabbed on Champagne for Breakfast with the brush (because I'm lazy). I thought it looked very elegant and perfect for a special occasion. Now I want to practice doing sponge-on gradients.
Great hints and ideas on doing gradients. Thanks Kelli.
I tried some of them.they are easy to do and look gorgeous
I use the square/rectangular end of the sponge and then once it's dry, you can cut the top off and use the sponge over and over until it's too small.
This was so useful! I would love to see more! And videos using them with nail art!
I haven't done a glitter gradient yet, I need the tools, but it looks so cool! My favorite word is dilapidated 💖
Ooh that's a great word for the tongue haha!
The radial gradient is so cool! Will definitely be giving that a try.
Yes! My mother taught me gibberish and pig Latin, lol. So much fun! My favorite word is 'putrid'. You can feel that word. You don't have to understand English to know something is nasty when you hear putrid. It's a fun word, lol
All of them are so pretty, but my favorite is the glitter. I have never tried it yet and have tiny nails. Looking forward to see how my first one comes out.
These are so fun, love gradient nails, great video 🥰💖
For the radial gradient you could measure the general length of your nail and measure up from the fat edge of your sponge and know that's the length you have to work with. Then if you start your bullseye right from the fat edge you get a better idea how the circle should be sized. I hope that made any sense!
Love this eyeshadow look so cute!
Thank you so much 😀
An easy trick to blend gradients is to use a light iridescent topper! Works like magic!
Can you please tell us more about the barriers you used to prevent polish from getting on your fingers and cuticles? Are they easy to use? How do you like them? TIA. I'm a new subscriber and I just love your videos!
also did you ever tried using essence nail polish? it's the only good one that i use and buy here in germany :)
I have never heard of gibberish as a language like this. And then googling it found something similar but with different set of letters inserted. I suspect the different variants are regional (especially pre-internet days). I was a military brat growing up (dad in air force), and we got posted around Canada a bunch of times and I noticed subtle differences in childhood games (like hand clapping games and songs) in different places that we lived. Not huge, but the words or phrasing of one line would be a little different.
I've only done horizontal gradients a couple of times, but I've had an idea for a vertical gradient mani that I haven't actually tried yet that I think would be fun.
I always mess up my gradients! I need to keep practicing!❤
You can do it!!!!
I like the words fiduciary and tertiary. I’m so going to try some of these even though I’m not good at gradients.
That yellow eyeshadow tho 🥰🥰🥰
Waw this is even better than school😍girl your my teacher
😁💜💜💜💜
The radial gradient reminds me of water marbling in a way...I wonder if you could start with the darker color somehow...just typing aloud, lol! I haven’t been brave enough to try a gradient yet...someday.
Kelli: Super sheep 🤭
Me: just got hooked to your channel🥰
Just painted my nails last night but I'm so tempted to do a new gradient mani :)
I bought those sponges a year ago and have been afraid to try this! I have really small nails and am a guitar player so my left hand nails are really short and small. That vertical gradient is cool. I really want to try this! I remember there were these girls in my high school who spoke that gibberish language, haha... I never got it though but it seemed cool.
That’s what nail polish remover is for! You’ll probably screw something up and not be perfect; possibly even just suck your first time but it’s the fun and experimenting! You may even do something that’s totally different and unique to you!! Be brave!!
Cut the sponges down to a width that is just a little smaller than your nails, tap down on one side, tap down on the other, then do the middle.
I use an E.L.F. concealer brush (1821) ($2 at target) with pure acetone for cleanup, and wedge a cotton ball between two fingers so I can wipe the brush every time I dip, then I dab the excess remover off on the back of my hand and that leaves the right amount for careful cleanup.
I’d love to see more gradients please
Okay! 😁
These are all awesome ☺❤
We called that language "gibberish" too! I never thought about how words like "mitigate" sound like gibberish
Haha well now you'll always think of it !
I love to use a glitter gradient to cover up the chips on my creme nail polish manicures to make them look pretty for a few days longer. My friend sales color street and it works on them too.
Gradients have a special place in my 💙 bc they're what actually started my np obsession. I saw someone with a blue horizontal gradient, looked up how to do it on youtube, and the rest is history.😅 JC why don't you use the rectangular part of the sponge? That way when you're done you can just cut it and use again. Can't wait for the sequel!!
Personally I just use the one long side and then the other (and then I use the thin sides for glitter gradients!) So I reuse them that way! I don't love cutting the rectangular part because the jagged edges always seem to make my gradients look less smooth haha 😅 guess it's just personal preference!
@@KelliMarissa I use slices of the wedge on mine, and I have a dedicated pair of sharp scissors, so roughness isn't really an issue.
Thank you for a tutorial!!! Polish brands and swatches make me spend money so tutorials give me ideas how to actually use it.
Amazing video Kelli!!!!!
Thanks for this video! I think I'll try the center line gradient next. It might make my nails appear longer if I use the lightest color as the center.
I love the nail art videos and hope to see more! It would be really cool if you did a video talking about how you get ideas and inspiration and decide what to do when you're doing nail art.
These are my favorites kind of videos ❤
Yay glad you enjoyed!!
Glitter gradient!🥰🤩😍
The best!!! Haha
I think a cool video would be a compilation of some of these gradient techniques with different colors or types of polish.
Since you just did your favorite toppers over grey and black how about a video showing toppers over various colors as well as sponged on? Just to show the differences. You look beautimous as always. 😊
