Easy Holo Ocean Themed Nails

Hello lovelies & happy Monday! It’s the beginning of a brand new week, & I’m sharing a super easy look with you.

This was a super quick & easy look I did the end of last week, inspired by a request by my little girl. I had these cute ocean themed nail art stickers I picked up from Icing circa 2014-2015, though I thought they would be super cute paired with an ocean-y blue nail polish for some easy nail art.

The polishes I used for this manicure are: 

  • Base Coat: Londontown KUR Nail Hardener & Base Coat 
  • Top Coat: Seche Vive Fast Dry Top
  • Superchic Lacquer Throwing Shade
  • Icing Nail Art Stickers — can find similar styles on Etsy.

I’ve raved before about my love for nail art stickers for easy nail art, especially when time is an issue. You can use a whole bunch on the nail, or one on each nail for a simple look. I have quite the collection myself, so they’re fun to grab when I’m lacking time (or inspiration).

& there are some great brands out there to choose from.

What do you think about these simple holographic ocean nails? Are you a fan of simple nail art like this? Have you ever tried any nail art sticker brands that you absolutely love? Let me know your favourites down in the comments below!

Have a fantastic Monday!

  1. EEEP! How fun! I haven’t thought of using stickers in ages… I honestly had forgotten about it (and I even have some… not cute ones like this though). Adorable – and perfect “ocean” base choice color! Question: have you ever used the nail art “water decals” so many places sell and if so, do you have any pro tips? (I’ve got several sheets of those, too, and I’ve never had success applying them. Temporary tattoos on my skin as a kid were a piece of cake, but water decals are my nemesis…)

    1. I have used water decals & they definitely take a bit of a learning curve. You definitely want to soak them in water until you notice the image separating from the paper, & work quickly. I don’t use them very often but Adah’s recommendations sound like she knows what she’s taking about!

  2. Oh my, I love water decals! Just soak them in water about 30 seconds longer than they suggest and use tweezers to slide them off. I use them in like every other mani. Rn I’m wearing tulips! They’re definitely worth figuring out. 🙂

    1. Thank you!!! Maybe that’s been my struggle- I’ve been following directions to a T; next time I’ll soak longer!
