00:00life definitely didn't prepare you for this but for me just dropped almond dual forms just so you
00:04know i pinned what a real almond shape looks like in the corner and now at long last our clients
00:09who asked for that exact almond shape are finally going to get it i get that these dual forms might
00:14really outrage nail techs because to us real almonds are so sleek beautiful and architectural
00:20and then there's this usually we call this shape a sunflower seed but on the other hand the client
00:26demand is there so why not give it a try and create nails just like this i pick out the
00:31right size
00:31dual form take some milky gel and my model and i decide to combine it with a red colored gel
00:37i'm using these shades from shock me yes i agree it's an unusual combination but let's see how it
00:43turns out i created a small reach in the cuticle area and flash cured it yes i know you noticed
00:48the
00:48new mini lamp but it's currently only available for pre-order on the website but that's totally
00:53not the point right now anyway i apply the gel to the dual form in these wavy layers in a
00:58pretty
00:58freeform way two gels because i'm planning to have them blend together nicely and neatly right on the
01:03finger when i press the form down i check how it could potentially look and we can move on to
01:08the
01:08application and since i had already created a reach i applied the form leaving a little space at the
01:13cuticle that way nothing flows out to the sides then i flash cure it with my mini lamp and turn
01:18it over
01:19i add the necessary amount of gel from underneath and pinch it slightly and pinching here isn't so
01:25much to make the nails narrow but simply to make it easier to pop off the dual form and here's
01:31the
01:31little almond we got in the meantime you can write in the comments what you think about the release of
01:36these specific dual forms and how often your clients ask for such a tapered almond shape meanwhile
01:41i'll file all of these and coat it with a no wipe top coat and now i present our result
01:46for your
01:46judgment personally i think the nails are a bit too tapered but on the other hand i remember how many
01:51times i filed this exact shape for my clients of course there is some internal resistance but
01:57nevertheless if the client wants it why not give it to them
