Despite knowing about this hack, I was still WOWED when you pulled away the sponge from that first contact! I honestly don't think any glitter has EVER had THAT MUCH of a deposit on the nail...ISN FLAKIES FOR THE WIN!!!!🏆🥇🏆
@@1SilentRiver the sponge absorbs most of the liquid solvent that makes up the nail polish but the flakes (and glitters, since this technique fits those polishes too!) are too large so they just stay on top and keep just enough polish that they can stick to your nail. when you brush polishes like this on your nail there's only so much you can put on before the liquid part of the polish starts dripping off. you can get flakie polishes like that which are packed enough that you only need 1-2 coats (i have some small flaky duochromes in the same colors as the one in the video), but i'd guess that collection was formulated to also be worn as a topper
I love using this kind of sparser sparkly ones as toppers on shimmers or solid colors. I love how versatile they are including being able to just pack them on there like sardines with this trick.
Yesss definitely! I just reviewed the collection this polish is from and showed them as toppers over black and white too, they look so gorgeous over other colors 😅
Oh that makes me so happy to hear 🥰 and it was the start of my fave series on my channel - Nail Polish 101! It's been such a pleasure to be able to share tips and tricks with this community 😅🩷
But if I have to use a sponge to apply it opaque,why can't I Scream nails just show honestly what it looks like in their swatches? I don't think I should have to pay 14 bucks for a polish that I have to use a special application method? Am I being too picky? I know that I scream Nails CAN make fully opaque polishes, so why don't they? I love a lot about that brand, but see a lot of room for improvement in how they show their products. I notice they have been using less of the press on nails on their website, that's a start. Really enjoy your content Kelli, thank you.
@@fighttheevilrobots3417 that's one of the main reasons why I like to apply my swatches as normal (not sponged) for my reviews, so you can see exactly how they perform! But I would love to see them show different swatching options on their site too!
Do this and then one last coat with the brush to bring it back to life and THEN the top coat. Preferably a diamond top coat and it will look like the galaxy. Use a black base for a huge shadow effect.
I love doing certain glitters on a black base!!! Makes them look so much better when they weren't as opaque as they looked in the bottle like the Sally Hansen Hyp-nautical I just got recently
Well I only had a minute to show it and it took more than a minute to do lol. You can see a full video on this with no jump cuts on my channel, it's not a short though because it takes longer to apply with a sponge 😅 I didn't cut it after the first dab on the sponge so you could see exactly how much comes off the sponge onto the nail at each dab!
When your glitter has a very runny base, you have to let it sit for a few seconds on the sponge, or else it's going to make a gummy mess over your fingertips (yes, I learned it the bad way lol).

Flakies really do the best with a sponge, it's incredible to see!!
It helps that the sponge absorbs a lot of the jelly and just leaves the glitter on the surface to go on the nail 😂
Isn?
@@minagica Ice Scream Nails
It’s almost like flakie polishes were made for this technique🙀 I was not expecting that level of payoff on the first dab.
Right?! It's amazing 😂😂
Same! Like how in the world did the glitter barely apply on the nail but was super dense on the sponge? 🤯

I had completely forgotten to check it out despite adding it to my watch later list. Curse you, ADHD...
@@Call-me-Al haha! No worries, I think you'll especially like them over white!! 💅
That trick is how I found your channel like 10+ years ago! I've loved your channel, and especially you, ever since!

SAME!!! This and the remove glitter trick were what made me subscribe. ❤
I love that you're reposting this tip because some of your newer followers may not know! 💖 And this gorgeous flakie is perfect for this technique! 🤩
All these amazing I Scream Nails toppers recently has me breaking out the sponges haha! I figured it might be helpful for the newbies 😜
@@KelliMarissa ABSOLUTELY! 💖
exactly!! several years back everyone knew this technique, but now lots of people do gels and might not know about this or forget

I love how 90s/00s trends are coming back around so the new generation can enjoy glitter too x
I'm so impressed! I love this idea! Thank you Kelli. 🎉
You are so welcome! 🥰🥰🥰
It’s been around for over a decade
@@goldenerkese yessss back when I did my original video on it! :)
Top tier hack right there!
It really makes such a difference to the mani haha!!
Dab dab dab til your nails look fab. Use liquid latex around the nail before dabbing for less cleanup 🖒
Or you can just use tape around your nails! Cheaper and quicker 😜
@@KelliMarissa very true! I usually have liquid latex because it's useful for other projects, but tape is an affordable/practical option
@@KelliMarissa tape is a brilliant idea! I'll try that instead of liquid latex next time I pack on the glitter 🎉
"Sometimes, you just want a bunch of glitter on your nail" SEEN! 💅 💜
So cool, Kelli!!! 🥰😘❤
🥰🥰🥰
This is the best nail hack I’ve learned! Gorgeous polish 😍😍
Oh, all the beautiful chunky polishes i gave up on before knowing this trick 😞 such a great tip! 🎉
tysm Kelli!
Happy to help hehe 🥰🥰🥰
Omg I cannot wait to try this!! I love chunky glitter polishes 🤩
😮Wow looks Amazing!! 🤩🤩
🥰🥰🥰
That polish is so beautiful
And great hack! Thank you
Totally agree, I love a good multichrome flakie and I Scream Nails makes incredible ones!
Love this color ❤
Me too, that whole multichrome flakies collection is to die for!!!
Works for eyeshadow/loose glitter too. Packing glitter on with your fingers/sponge tip is always gonna work better than a brush
I love doing certain glitters on a black base!!! Makes them look so much better when they weren't as opaque as they looked in the bottle like the Sally Hansen Hyp-nautical I just got recently
Awesome! Just got some really gorgeous glitter pollish so I'm sooo trying this, like today 😊
Just need some clear builder gel over it to smooth out that texture.
Thank you so much. This has always been a problem for me. I really needed this video. ❤
WOW! Thank you - I've never known about this (for 3 decades of wearing nail varnish) 😁
This is a fantastic tip! Thank you!!! 💜
simply fans have known this for years
💿💅❤️❤️
So have Kelli Marissa fans 😜💅 I posted a video on it almost a decade ago hehe
Dab dab dab make your nails look fab 😂❤
I was looking for this comment ❤

Simple but a game changer
Thank you so much for this video!!
Ingenious!
Thank you for the tip Kelli 🫶🏾🫶🏾🫶🏾🫶🏾💜👑

Very cool hack!

Flashbacks to galaxy nails 😊
Thank you, this was always a struggle with me 😅
Omg thank you!!
Thanks so much… I didn’t know this hack 😃… 😘
Mardi Gras nails!
So, my whole entire glitter life never knew this hack.
Yep it works. That’s what I do now.
Thank you
😮😮😮 wow i never knew!
Thank you ❤
Always happy to help!! 🥰🥰🥰
Awesome tip
I dont use nail polish, but this is amazing.
Genius 🎉
Love u!!!!
Does it dry down well?
Georgous ❤
What polish is this?
what nail polish is that?
Oooh is this from the fast lane collection? I had to pick that one up 😅💖💕💅
How cool is that?
It’s a jump-cut, pay attention and you can see where the cut is between putting the sponge on the nail and picking it back up.
Well I only had a minute to show it and it took more than a minute to do lol. You can see a full video on this with no jump cuts on my channel, it's not a short though because it takes longer to apply with a sponge 😅 I didn't cut it after the first dab on the sponge so you could see exactly how much comes off the sponge onto the nail at each dab!

Smart!!
🥰🥰🥰
I like your nails, and your name 😉
Omg hey Kelly! 😂👋
Epic info. Reshare because who knows? 😊
Yesss the people deserve the most sparkly nails hahah!
Whoa!!
Wow!
🥰🥰
I've always been disappointed with the coverage of glitter nail polishes. I gotta try this!
Yesss let me know how it goes for ya!!
There's some wax-like product to mask the skin area for a clean finish
Does it need to be sealed somehow?
I'd recommend top coat!
Use a foam eyeshadow applicator brush instead. No mess and you don't have to cleanup!!!!
Oh get out of here! Is this how it’s done? Love it ❤
Yesss it's such a game changer!! 🥰🥰
Vc pode usar um esmalte preto e esse glitter em cima.❤
what cleanup brush did you use?
I used the Orly Dry Brush!
Are you, by any chance, from US?
Wow
I wish I would have known about this in the 80s.
