00:00I felt bad about redoing these nails. The girl signed up to be my model, but as you can see,
00:04they haven't grown out much and still look pretty good. The undersides are clean, everything is fine
00:08and even, but she said she wants them a bit sharper. So we remove the old polish, do a manicure,
00:14degrease the nails and move on to the extensions. We'll be building on what's left after removing
00:20the old material. These nails will serve as the base for the new layer. We apply dehydrator,
00:25primer, base coat and then move on to the gel. I'm using Pro Gel by Emmy in the shade Taub.
00:32It's a nice cool beige shade. Basically it's perfect for any occasion, because I think it's the most
00:37neutral of all the nude beiges. I'm going to apply it directly into the dual form, without any extra
00:42curing or anything like that, because we already have a good base from the previous nails. We've
00:47applied it to the desired lens, now we place the form on the nail, cure it a bit with a
00:51handheld
00:52curing light near the cuticle area, then flip it over and fix everything from the inside. We remove
00:57the dual form and evaluate our result. I think it looks really beautiful. We even got a little bit
01:01of a gradient, but my model said she dreams of having chocolate colored nails. I took shade 496
01:08and I'm going to apply it all over the nail. By the way, I think that nowadays people hardly use
01:15colored
01:15gel polishes anymore and mostly just work with gels, but personally I sometimes get nostalgic and I think
01:21it's great to just cover the nails with color. I'm covering the nails in two thin layers and after
01:26that I take and I'm using the base here not because I want to, but because she brought a reference
01:31and
01:31told me to. Here in the video I'm showing you the base is applied and then glitter is put on
01:36top of it,
01:37but I thought that in general I could have just applied the glitter, but since she asked for it,
01:42who am I to say no? We covered everything with a matte top coat and after that, using a glossy
01:46top coat,
01:47I add this glossy stripe somewhere in the middle of the glitter. Next we finish the procedure with a
01:51moisturizing cream and I show you our result. We ended up with fairly long nails in a matte finish with
01:57a bit of glitter, basically just as my model asked. And you, write in the comments what your model asks
02:03for!
