xoxoJen's 3D Technique with KBShimmer: Happy Camper

PR Sample

Hi ya'll! I created a really cool 3D look with KBShimmer's Happy Camper polish last year and had totally forgot to share it! I love the effect, and it's so subtle that it would still be appropriate in formal settings. It can be done with any cream polish that can stamp!



1. Do your nails as usual with a light cream shade. (dark ones may hide the shadow effect)
2. Top coat or use a glitter tamer three to four times.
3. After completely dry, stamp with the same cream polish.
4. Top coat over that.
This technique can be done over a few days or several hours to allow the extra layers to dry well. It creates a shadow for a 3D effect and is not a double processed stamp. :)

I noticed the 3D effect in 2015 when I was doing the black lace saran wrap nail art in a challenge and just never tried to replicate it until 2021. I'm regretting not having attempted it again sooner because it is so cool and easy to do! I hope you enjoy the xoxoJen 3D technique!

Pink, Purple, and Black Nailart

May contain PR samples

I did some nail art back in May for the closing celebration of a year long leadership program that I was selected for at work. The swag we got was black and pink/purple, so I did nails to match. I cannot recall what products I used, but thought I'd share since its different from the usual swatches I do. Photos of both hands, ya'll! Enjoy!

Nabi: Hologram Effect (magenta)

Time for a throwback and walk down memory lane!
A dear friend of mine, Connie, and I used to travel to visit each other on the regular (the pandemic changed that). On one of her first visits to my city we made the rounds to all the drug stores and beauty supply shops to see what new and interesting polishes they had available. During this time, holos were very hard to come by, indies or mainstream alike.
At a Walgreen's near her hotel, we discovered Nabi. The polishes came in an array of shades and were all holographic! The price point was quite affordable as well, if I recall they were around $4-6ea. You'd have thought we were kids in a candy shop! The polish display was, get this, an acryllic candy jar with all their polishes tossed in. We quickly went through them and I ended up with this magenta holo.
I had never worn it, so it was high time! Surprsingly, it has not faded at all over the years I have had it. It looks just like it did when I purchased it. I took a few photos to share, and perhaps create a bit of nostalgia for some of you who may remember these.
