00:00I swear, these are the strangest nails I've ever done in my entire nail career.
00:04And we're not going to build a claw as you might have thought, but we'll use it as a base.
00:08I have these claws from the brand Iminka.
00:11By the way, all the materials from Iminka are sold on the Imin L's website
00:15and it's definitely cheaper there than on marketplaces.
00:18Here I'm going to use a black stained glass gel from Iris K.
00:21With it I'll be modeling our claws, which will be the base for our future extensions.
00:27First, I place this strange little drop, cure it and then prepare the upper form.
00:32I also apply the material to it step by step because the upper form of the claw has a lot
00:37of space
00:38and no matter how good your curing lamp is, it really can happen that it won't cure properly inside.
00:44That's why I play it safe and do this extra step.
00:47In my experience, building the claw shape is much easier than any other.
00:51I don't know what the secret is, but it really turns out to be much easier.
00:55It always sets and always holds well.
00:57Our base is already ready and now we move on to the nail shape.
01:01And yes, on some fingers we will file off these sharp tips and on others we will leave them.
01:06That was my model's reference.
01:08Of course, I don't specialize in trash style nails and I don't know how to file sharp geometric shapes,
01:13but I tried to do it the way she showed me in the photo.
01:16I tried to file some edges, although, to be honest, I think that the artists who make
01:21these unusual gothic trash style nails with beautiful sharp edges are just nail gods.
01:27For the design, we used a textured silver paint here, also from Iris K, and I'm applying it with my
01:33finger.
01:34And for the design, my model asked me to add these black beads, which I made by mixing thick gel
01:40with black gel paint.
01:41And with black gel paint, I'm drawing these lines along the edges here,
01:45and with a gradient brush, I'll blend them a bit to create a messy effect.
01:50And this is the nail design we ended up with.
01:52Yes, it's definitely an acquired taste.
01:54Yes, it's not for everyone.
01:55But in my opinion, there is definitely something special about it.
