*Intro to 'Gold Digger' plays*
Now I ain't sayin she a gold digger
But she ain't messin with no broke-
holographic foil... on your nails....
*nervous giggling*
nail porn intro
Hey hey holo everyone; it's me Cristine again and
today I've got some bomb ass gold holo nails
yes HOLO yes GLOWING yes
I also have some very important news! I'm on Twitter!
I'm a bird... you should follow me there
I know I'm really late to the twitter party, but you should tweet me and I'll tweet... twitter you back? Eh?
I'm also on Snapchat- have been for a few months. I'm pretty much an expert at using all the filters there
so you should also follow me there.
Yes. Join the snap fam.
First off, it's base coat time.
Other nail artists be like 'add a regular base coat to make your nail polish last!'
Simplynailogical be like
'Add a peel off base coat cuz we're gonna peel that motherf*cker off your nails'
Next up, make your nails black. I'm still using my favorite black from 'what's the best black polish- drug store edition'
but I am running out, the bottle is like half empty
or half full- depends on how you look at it.
Either way I may just continue my search for the best black again so let me know down in the comments
if you have a suggestion for one I haven't tried yet.
Ohhhhh green multichrome awwwwww I think I'm multichromesexual right now
So you can stare at this multichrome porn that I ended up putting on my nail, but
in the end I didn't really need it at all so this step is completely unnecessary.
but I wanted to show you the porn anyways.
So pretty though rawr I'm a reptile.
Next up is the gold holo foil YES
I got this super holo gold foil along with the foil glue from Bundlemonster
I put a link down below. It's in a kit of different foils
And don't forget: you can use my code SIMPLY for 10% off
Get some holo and save some money, then buy some more holo with that money you just saved.
Life cycles of a holosexual
So after applying one thin coat of foil glue you just gotta let it dry until it's a little tacky
You'll know it's completely dry when it doesn't look blue anymore and it just looks clear
then you just cut up a little piece of foil and press
the foil down on the nail with the patterned, colored side up.
If you do it the other way, it's not gonna work. I fully admit, I did that my first time
and I was like 'what the f*ck am I doing wrong?'
See I teach you life skills on this channel. You're welcome.
When it's all pressed firmly on the nail you're gonna rip it all off like a bandaid.
If only bandaids were holo...
Now originally I thought there was no way this gold foil was going to completely cover my nail
and that's why I painted the green multichrome underneath, cuz I thought you'd see like lines of it.
But yeah, everything underneath this was pretty much unnecessary.
WHO CARES- LOOK at the holo.
Honestly if you're feeling lazy, just slapping on some holo foil like this is
super easy to do and everyone will be amazed at your nails and ask where you got them done.
And then you'll be like 'bitch I do my own nails!'
But wait. If I put a top coat on this, will it kill my holo vibe? Cuz I ain't gonna let that happen.
And now it's time to do some tests in simplynailogical's nail experimentation lab.
First I'm applying foil glue on a white piece of paper. Very pristine environment we require in this labratory.
Transfer the foil onto the paper. Peel off the foil.
...
Now add more, cuz that didn't really work.
Oooh, pretty shiny rainbow colors yas
Last time around, some of you guys suggested that I try out Picture Polish's foil top coat
Why didn't I think of that earlier? I don't know...
And you can sorta see a tiny bit of clouding, but I'm not really sure
Let's let it dry and try another experiment.
Peel off base coat! Yes. Sounds weird I know...
Again, maybe a tiny bit of clouding? but it's really hard to tell
so I let them dry a little bit and
I think it's pretty clear that both of them did cloud the foil just a little bit.
Maybe the Picture Polish one clouds the foil a little bit less?
But let's add a regular quick dry topcoat cuz we know how shitty that is and then we can compare
Yeah so the regular quick dry taco ate my holo -____-
I still think having no top coat on the foil is best and leaves it the most holo
But you gotta put some kind of top coat on it, or else all the foil is gonna flake off.
I'll just go with the Picture Polish one because it's called a foil top coat...
And the peel off base coat one, I'm not really sure how that's gonna work as a top coat.
Maybe it'll just peel off the top of my nail? Does that make any sense I don't know.
Before I did the tests I was an idiot and put a regular quick dry top coat on one side of my pinky and
yeah well you can see it's garbage
And ooo we haven't discussed quite yet- what's on my other hand?
It's a pretty nontraditional simplynailogical color, I admit.
But I was kinda feelin some happy spring time colors okay?
This is also a Picture Polish polish
a Picture Polish polish
Oh my god
It was designed in collaboration with Kelli Marissa; you guys should go check her out on youtube.
She does some pretty awesome nail art tutorials
And I'm just gonna go ahead and finish top coating my nails with the foil top coat.
I also just wanted to talk for a minute about how I've been doing some kind of stupid videos lately
Yes yes I have.
Some of you guys are actually scared that I was actually turning into a makeup channel?!
Have you never heard the sarcasm in my voice?
But no, silly, I'm not turning into an actual makeup channel. And even though I like to throw in some
punny videos sometimes, I'm not deviating too far from nails so don't worry
I'm just having a little fun, okay?
And it looks like there's a lot of you who actually enjoy this random fun that I have on this channel
I find that I get quite a lot of comments from you guys saying that you don't even do your nails or you don't like
nails and you still watch my weird shit. This is all anecdotal of course.
So how about we gather some imperical evidence and see if that statement is still supported?
If you didn't know, I'm a data nerd. That's what I do in my regular, full time, conventional office job.
So let's do a quick survey. It should have popped on youtube right about now, so you can click that little
info card thing and answer the question. I will share the results on twitter.
cuz now I have it. And I will use it, I will. So make sure you vote and make your voice heard.
Now let's make my nails into cats. Next I'm going to freehand paint- weird I know right?-
some cat eye shapes onto my nails. I got this idea from @nailsbycambria on instragram
who got this idea from @krbnails on instagram
Thank you to my fellow crazy cat ladies for inspiring me.
Despite being a self professed not-so-good-free-hand-painter
these were actually pretty easy to paint. I know right? Weird.
And then I just used a nail polish brush of course- cheating anywhere I can
Paint on the little eye sliver thingy
and then add a white dot with a dotting tool
I didn't know how to draw tiny evil eyes on these tiny cats so I just dotted on some eyes.
Now I added another coat of the Picture Polish foil top coat cuz I was really trying to protect
the foil before adding an actual regular top coat
But then on my thumb I added that regular quick dry top coat over the foil
and it RUINED IT
Um, so yeah what the hell man?
Whoever said that you could put a foil topcoat and then a regular quick dry topcoat was WRONG
My nail looks like a scaly reptile
and not in a cute way.
So NEVERMIND the regular topcoat. I think I'll keep my holo cat eyes holo, thanks.
These are so evil and badass, I love them
I wore them for like a week.
I didn't find I had any early chipping with this topcoat so that was great.
BUT
then I did this:
put. on. makeup.
*slow motion*: noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
which got into MY NAILS
for whatever reason, the baking powder wanted to bake inside of my topcoat
so then I peeled them off, obviously, cuz they were no good for me anymore
and yeah, this time I'm not gonna play peel porn music cuz this peel is not worth the peel porn music.
I find one of the things that makes your nails peel off super satisfyingly and perfect in one shell
is when you've added a really thick glossy topcoat on top of your nails, but in this case I didn't so it didn't peel off in one nice solid piece.
I'm still gonna keep these peelies though

Alright guys, thanks so much for watching
