The “100 coats” challenge is in full swing on social media, which began when a YouTube star took on a challenge of painting 116 layers of nail polish on her nails. As reported by The Inquisitr, that #PolishMountain challenge went viral when beauty vlogger Christine Rotenberg took hours to paint the 116 layers of polish on during one sitting.

As seen in the Instagram photos and videos posted under the #100coats hashtag, at least 190 posts appear as of this writing that display all the creative ways people are displaying their results of 100 coats of beauty products piled onto their faces or hands.

Jenna discovered that not all of the eyelashes would fit on her eyes, so she decided to place 50 eyelashes on each eye, calling the monstrosity caterpillars on her eyes.
According to Marbles’ viral video, the first thing Jenna washed off was the spray tan. Jenna updated her viewers after applying several layers of makeup, saying that her face felt gross from all the of layers of cosmetics.
The video, titled “Ultimate 100 Coats of Things Video” has swelled to nearly five million views on YouTube since it was uploaded on July 21.
