I'm going to show you how to create this simple yet elegant mother-of-pearl opal
look it's simple but it's my most favorite that I have ever done so let's
get started first thing you're gonna do is make sure push back your cuticles
really well so you can file off any of the ptyrigium that's adhered to your nail
plate
I love these little knife and pushers they've got a little angled edge to them
so it's really easy to get under any little bit of adhered skin to finish
pushing it back far enough so not up your acrylic adheres to the skin the
area that I'll have trouble on my clients with lifting is right here and
right here so I've been trying to use this tip and really make sure that I get
any little bit of skin out of these little corners here
I think I'm concentrating too much at the back of the nail and I'm not getting
this little rounded part right here so let's make sure that we get those really
well I'm using a hundred and fifty grit nail files you don't want to dig into it
you can even use the edge of your file to finish pushing back any little bit of
cuticle that you didn't get I was playing with this one earlier so it's
got a little bit of gel topcoat on it Im just going to file that off too. The pink that you can
see through the white acrylic is some old pink acrylic that I had on my nails
before I added the white a couple of weeks ago and to get that
mother-of-pearl look you can either just do all white or now if when you're
filing you get a lot of dry skin here you can use your fingernail file to just
lightly file that they'll come right off okay
make sure that you dust really well you don't want any loose particles settling
down in the crevices of your nail If the acrylic stick so that it can lift
now when you're doing a fill the primer only needs to go on the nail plate not
on the acrylic
some acrylic lines that can cause it to yellow I've got a little bit of a
missing spot right there all right this is a custom mix it's half white and half
clear and white acrylic yeah it seems to dry really quickly when it's a little
bit warm so hopefully this doesn't set up too fast for me I'm gonna do because
I'm worried about the heat I'm gonna do it in two sections I'm gonna fill this
side and then I'm gonna fill this side
so I'm only gonna get a teeny teeny boat that's just too big
teeny bit I'm gonna sit it press it pull it teeny bit sit press pull tiny bit sit
press doesn't get more simple than that so this one needs a little bit of help
and it's got a little bit of missing actor look there so I'm gonna fill the
back and then I'm gonna work up to that side
tiny bit sit press
so if you look at this nail and you see the C curve you can see that the side of
the nail is just I filed it to get then on that side a little bit more
when you're directly sitting across from a client and I know I've said this in
other of my videos you know it's easy to get acrylic on straight because the
clients hands right in front of you but when you're doing your own nails it is a
little tricky because everything's twisted
now that I have it on that side I'm gonna have to add a little bit to this
side mm-hmm and then the file to make the shape right
don't get frustrated when you're trying to do your own nails if something starts
to get hard too fast just next time use a smaller ball maybe add a little bit
more liquid to your brush just so you have some more control okay so a tiny
bit
you want the nails to look like they're growing out of the cuticle area very
natural
you get any on the skin you wipe it off right away now when I'm picking up this
bead of acrylic I'm literally it's like a feather touch
I'm just like barely touching it and then lifting it up just the tips of
those bristles sit press pull
and this tip is a little bit thin I'm going to add a little bit more
oops
now when you get to the pinky it's a smaller surface area so sometimes you
might want to use the corner of your brush
see I picked that up on the corner
oh look I smashed that oops well remember this is real life real
situations for real learning I'm never gonna dub out my mistake
because everybody makes mistakes
all right now I'm gonna move this stuff out of the way because I always know I'm
really gonna try hard to explain to you guys my filing method I'd really love to
see more people trying it before we do any filing across the nail plate
we're going to shape our tip pull back our sidewalls file the sidewalls go
across the whole beautiful area when we're filing the cuticle area I'm
literally only using this little teeny tiny edge of the file did you really
want it to look like it's coming out of your beautiful area and then I'm gonna
change the pressure but I'm holding it to go across the whole thing now this is
what I called the bow method where you're gonna sit the entire file on the
nail you're gonna determine your Center I'm gonna draw a little line
I usually just you know I know how it feels so there's my line that's the
center of my nail so when I go across the top I'm always always really going
to be in the center and then I'm going off to one side and then back to the
other so you don't get a wonky looking nail constant pressure I'm pushing up
forward and down all at the same time and back across and down all at the same
time it's super quick super super quick
alright I'm gonna move that and hopefully stay in frame that's my little
marker I know right where I'm under the camera alright so this one is where I
got a little bit on the skin and tried to refine that shape it's gonna file my
tip I'm gonna look down the center at the nail
there's my center I'm gonna just my shape so it looks like I have the same
amount a free edge to the left and to the right I like a tapered Square look
but not too tapered like big hands using the edge of that file getting right down
in that lateral old area and now you can see I'm gonna sit the file right on top
I'm gonna go down to this left over to the right and I'm gonna go up and tape
with each other
see how easy that was so easy can't wait to show you how I got this look of
mother-of-pearl or opal what I'm doing on client sales it's usually like seven
strokes across and then I'm done I
really can't get the right pressure on myself Center the nail this way anybody
can lay acrylics perfect for good but the most important part is the filing
you know how to file properly you can fix anything and when you get really
good at laying acrylic you'll have the fastest service times ever a full set
you should be at an hour under
in a fill is 45 minutes to 35 minutes
depending on if anybody has any repairs or you know a lot of lifting but not
usually if you're applying it properly
my goal is to help you become a better nail technician so if you have any
questions
so when you're looking at a nail shape you know you're looking at the taper of
the tip you're looking at the taper into the cuticle area and you're also looking
at the tapper of the sides to make sure that they're blended in properly
especially if you're filing those sidewalls you don't want like that
straight line that's right here so you'll really want to make sure that
those blended in someone asked me if I ever used a pinching tool I don't you
know once somebody's natural nails are under the acrylic which all of my
clients nails are they can you know have a acrylic nails for so many years you
know their natural c-curve they they wouldn't even know to ask for me to
pinch their nails they're just you know everyday women with professional lives
mothers gardeners they really have no clue what an extremely crappy
all right these are my favorite buffers they are sanitized Abell I have these on
my online store in my description all right so I'm just gonna take one of
these little gauze squares a little bit of nail polish remover finish cleaning
off that dust
so I'm going to show you what I used this crazy tape
I might have to fight with it today because I've kind of used it up I was
having a hard time getting it off so I got a couple little extra pieces I
ordered more last night I'm excited I can't wait for it to come chic white
this is what I put on oh no that's not it
where's my little princess that's like a really soft pale nudie clear pink so
press those bristles out so you can get the bristles all the way to the edge one
then coat flatten your bristles all the way out I stare at the right-hand corner
and the left corner
to get the whole neon surface in just a couple of strokes now after we cure this
we are going to wipe it off because the little tacky it it's too slippery all
right I'm gonna cure this I'll be right back so you know that oily residue
that's it sticks to the paper you can't have that on there
now because this tape is clear it always takes me a second to figure out which
side is which that's not it over all right
so see how that came off on there okay so I think that one's worn out
so we totally your preference of how much color you put on but I like a lot
so looks like there's so much more right
next is my new favorite top coat it's a non cleanse top coat I got at the
Orlando Show
it's really thick you have to be careful when you put it
on don't put it too close or you'll blob your skin see how those colors just come
out
