Video Blog: Girly Gamer: Ep.1 - Gradient Nails by Brookelyn

For a second I thought you photoshopped your fingernails. Then I clicked the link.

That was awesome! I can't wait to do my nails like that

Your intro is so cool and looks really great - the glittery letters rock!

That was a very helpful tutorial
Thanks for doin all the dirty work for us and I can't wait to see what's next!

Oh, and you look haaawt

Edit - is that your wedding ring?!?!

Holy crap Brooke! That was freakin' awesome!!! Not only if your video great, those nails are smokin' hot!!!!

Can't wait to try it

I love it. I have soooo many shades of pink/red/blue/green... this will work very well for me.

Now to just see if i can find a makeup sponge.

I love the girly blogs, brooke.

I'm with Booty Start the sparkle letters at the beginning is a great intro!!!! well done.

I am so going to buy some nail polish and try this out. Your nails look amazing.

FABULOUS!!

Yay! Im really happy you ladies enjoyed it. It was a lot of fun to make, plus everytime I make them I learn more about Premiere.

@Kat- Yes that is my wedding ring. I designed some of it myself. It's a puzzle ring so I can take off the side pieces to make it not so flashy or weighted.

@Angel- Oops I should've put where you can buy the materials in my blog. You can buy makeup sponges at any grocery store, Walgreens, CVS, Target (Basically anywhere) and non-latex works best. Also, I tried gradient nails in pink shades and it look amazing, but I choose to use blue for my tutorial because it showed up better on camera.

@Everyone- Make sure to post pictures of your nails after you try my tutorial. I want to see all the pretty colors.

I'm glad you girls like my glittery letter intro. I remember watching children shows as a child and they would always use stop motion for their intros. I knew I wanted to do it as soon as I came up with Girly Gamer.

Oh shoot! I forgot an important tip that Im going to go back and put in my blog.

If you find yourself messing up, you can hide all those flaws by applying a clear glitter to the nails instead of a top coat. The glitter reflects light and hides the flaws.

Wow!!! I am so excited, that was amazing! I'm going to buy some more nail polishes tomorrow so I can try it, I'll get some pics (I think an orange gradient would be awesome!).

I am so excited to see more tutorials and tips. You really do well with demonstrating and explaining, I can't wait to try it! I love your bracelets too, did you make those? I used to make bracelets like that all the time, now I want to start doing that again as well.

I also love the gaming touch you added with the different titles on the paper. Splinter Cell FTW!

Please make more, I really enjoyed it.

Oh, wow. It's gorgeous, and the fact that you can change it up makes it even better. Great idea.

That's exactly what came to mind when I saw it. Luv it.

Those look great Brooke! Definitely going to have to try that out

That's awesome! I'm terrible at doing my own nails..especially on my right hand, since I'm right handed lol but I'm definitely going to give it a try! Thanks Brooke!

I didn't even know you could do that with nails; they're very cool. Next time I'm given some sort of feminine wind I'll remember this.

The video was done well, I agree with the others and also loved the way you spelled everything out- all was cute and girly (fitting).

That's pretty awesome but I know if I tried to do it I'd end up with polish on my face and cats.

genius. I'll show this to my girlfriend, she'd really like this

This girl does some wild stuff!

Check it out! Neon Leopard Nails

I tried doing it last night but failed miserably. My hand shakes way too much, but it was my first attempt.

I should've added the pink in like hers and my green isnt as bright as the one she was using. I guess practice makes perfect.

it.

Yup I make all my bracelets! I even have sold some. I dont really make profit off of them, it's just enough to support my hobbies.

I call them Brookelets! You can check them out here. I made a little facebook gallery of them.

I'm glad you like because I will cover how to make my favorite one (bordered Chevron) in a Girly Gamer episode. I was going to do it next but since Halloween is coming up I was going to do somthing dedicated to that. I was thinking, how to put a gothic lolita outfit together'? How to carve a princess peach pumpkin? hahah I have no clue. Any suggestions?

Great job Brooke! I love the video. I am definitely trying this! You went over ever step so well. I would have never known how to do this until now! You rock!

Cool video Brooke. I'm going to try this and I will post a pic afterwards. Wish me luck.

@Skellz

Good luck!

I think you'll do great!
