00:00Millionaire's wife's nails, expensive nails, and a luxurious manicure.
00:03Basically, we are going to do what everyone loves to see on social media.
00:07Our starting point is natural nails, mature hands, but that won't stop us from creating
00:12that perfect, subtle, French manicure.
00:14Today I'll show you one of its variations and a way to slightly correct the nail shape
00:18at the same time.
00:19Our starting nails are oval, and today we are going to create a really nice, soft, square
00:23shape.
00:24I've already applied a primer and a hydrator as a base.
00:27Then I use a base coat to create a foundation and prevent any lifting.
00:30And after that I start working with gel.
00:32This is from the Handy Gel series.
00:34This gel has a consistency similar to cream or souffle.
00:37Basically, it holds its shape and doesn't go anywhere.
00:40So with this kind of product it's very easy to build up the corners and even create a
00:44sculpted French manicure in a sense.
00:45I flash cured it with a mini lamp and now we're choosing the base, meaning the camouflage
00:51color.
00:52I'm going to use soft gel.
00:53I chose color A, Umbra.
00:55It's a natural, very natural looking, but at the same time quite dense camouflage gel
00:59shade.
01:00And yes, this gel comes in a jar, but I decided to apply it using a gel brush because I
01:05need
01:05to do a slightly different application.
01:08I'm joining it right up to the French tip, slightly overlapping it.
01:12After curing, all I have left to do is file the shape.
01:15First I use a carbide bead to even out the surface, focusing on the lower two thirds.
01:19And to smooth out our French tip as much as possible, I'm going to use a milky top coat.
01:24You can apply the milky top coat in a thin layer, like I did, or for example by placing
01:30a drop.
01:30That way you'll get a dusty shade for our French tip.
01:33After curing, we adjust the length and if necessary file underneath.
01:37For aftercare, I use a special cuticle cream from Amy.
01:40And now you can admire the result.
01:42You can share your opinion about Mature Hands and this kind of luxurious French manicure
01:46in the comments.
01:47I think it turned out really cute.
01:49To be continued.
