hi everyone welcome back to another tutorial today

i'm really excited to get into autumn nail designs

i'm gonna be recreating this look i found it on pinterest i thought it was really cute

and soft and feminine i often see so many dark colors

and tortoise nails and it's super cute and classy

but i wanted to do something like i said soft

and feminine so i'm starting off by sanitizing my nails

and removing any dust then i'm going in with my jello jello peel off base coat

this is an optional step

if you guys want your extensions to last over a month then replace this product with any extend gel

or nail glue that you have and cure it for 60 seconds I'm going in with my appraise almond in medium.

I'm going to use my 240 grit sanding band to buff the inside of the extensions.

This helps give it some texture so

that the extend glue is really going to work and your retention will be better for it.

I am using the Tomica nail glue.

This is one of my favorite nail glue.

The retention is great and it's super affordable.

All the products that I'll be using in this video will be linked down below on my Amazon storefront.

If you look closely you can see

that I'm leaving a little bit of a gap between my cuticle and where I put the extension.

This is called the overlay method and I find

that this technique really helps with the retention

and it also leaves the perfect space for you to go in with your buffer

or drill to blend in and seal the cuticle.

Now I'm using the smooth top barrel bit from Erica's ATA.

This is a really good beginner friendly drill to use.

I would say it is a bit of an investment since it's not too affordable

but this drill bit has lasted me for over a year

and I constantly use it for either builder gel removals

or just sealing the kiroko like I am doing right now

and it has that perfect safety top barrel so even

if you touch your skin it's super safe to use it doesn't hurt you at all.

Now I'm going in with my 240 grit sanding band I'm going at a speed of 5000 rpms

and I'm just buffing the whole surface of

that extension especially around

the cuticle area

the last

step of prepping your extension is to shape them

so i'm just grabbing my 180 grit nail file

and shaping it to a skinny almond i really like my almond a little bit more on the pointier side

but this is personal preference now it's time to officially seal the cuticle using my cuticle brush

and dipping it into some acetone

i recommend using a hundred percent acetone for this to be really effective acetone melts plastic

so that extension is just going to melt into your natural nail

and blend seamlessly and this is going to be the key factor in your extensions lasting and not lifting for four weeks.

Here's a pro tip for my baddies on a budget.

If you guys want to save a penny, don't buy a base coat every single time.

Just use the extend gel.

It works the same so I'm just going in with my Atomica nail glue and using it as a base coat.

Once you get into the gel application you want to make sure

that every single coat is as thin as possible while covering still the whole surface.

So every layer you want to cure for 60 seconds.

Here I'm going in with my 8 millimeter liner brush and also the paint and pat palette.

These padding gels are super pigmented

and I like to use them as the base before

I go in with any nude gel polish

I have

a pinned board on my Amazon storefront of all of my favorite nude gel polishes

but definitely one of my favorite brands is rareism.

I hope I'm saying that right but I am applying two coats of this shade.

I think it's in 540 but I think rareism is really affordable

and yet highly pigmented and so I love the quality of their nude gel polishes.

I applied two coats of that and cured each layer for 60 seconds

and now i'm going into the nail design

so i picked out this vanilla white color

and also this reddish chocolate brown

you definitely wanted to have a hint of red in it for any straight lines

or symmetrical lines i always use my 16 millimeter french liner brush i don't have a specific technique

when it comes to doing my french nail designs but I just let the brush do its thing.

I go from one corner to the other.

One of the most underrated techniques

when it comes to doing your nails is knowing how to clean up and having the right tool to clean up.

Honestly, the amount of times that I use my cuticle

or angular brush to dip it into acetone and clean up a line or a smudge that got on my skin.

I do it so many times and I feel like it's not talked about enough.

People just say practice a steady hand

but naturally I just don't have a steady hand

so I need to heavily rely on these specific tools to help me clean up and get a clean finished look.

So if you have been struggling with the same thing then definitely go check out my website.

You can either look into the full collection or just purchase individual brushes

but yes you're gonna see me clean up so many times in this video.

So now that we have the base colors

and base designs done it's time for the second layer of designs

i'm going in with my 12 millimeter liner brush in

that vanilla white color i like to dot the petals first with my dotting tool

and then connect it at the center with my liner brush i find

that this is a lot easier for me i love using my dotting tool for

so many different nail art techniques it's really such an all -rounder tool

i'm just gonna add these floral details on some other fingers as well and add some thin line details here and there.

Since I'm doing really thin nail art details, I switched my brush to the longer one, the 16mm French liner brush,

and this really helps with me having a more steady hand

when it comes to doing these lines if

you guys struggled to get really thin clean straight lines

I recommend adding barely any product on the liner brushes themselves as you can see I'm adding the most product

when I'm doing the dotting tool and then just dragging

that gel into the middle

so I barely have any gel polish on my liner brush bristles you really want to keep it minimal

and do really thin light strokes with no pressure added to the nail.

I ended up not liking the details on the tip of the nail

100

so I just decided to clean

101

that up with my cuticle brush it's really nice just be able to delete

102

that part of the nail art and start over so i just decided to add a little flower detail so for the thumb

103

and the pinky finger I wanted to change up the design a little bit from the inspo photo

104

so I'm just doing stripes so on this french nail I'm doing brown stripes

105

and on the pinky I'm gonna do vanilla white stripes

106

and since this is more longer symmetrical lines I I switched over to my 16 millimeter liner brush.

107

Thank you. so so

108

now that we're done with the design it's time to charm it up I'm adding some rhinestones like diamonds

109

and little gold beads

110

and I also decided to add in some pearls

111

I recommend using non -wipe rhinestone glue I do the sandwich method

112

which is rhinestone glue first apply the charms then I top coat

113

and then I put a little bit more rhinestone glue on top

114

and I find that the retention for the gloss

115

and the shimmer of the charms lasts the longest when I do this sandwich method so that's what I did here.

116

Other than curing it with the flash cure light, make sure that you put it into the big lamp every once in a

117

while so that the design and the charms are fully cured for 60 seconds.

118

And now at the end, I'm going in with my Cocoist Ultra Glossy Non -Wipe Top Coat.

119

This is my favorite top coat to use to get

120

that beautiful shimmer and it just looks super glossy

121

so this is basically the finished look for the nail design

122

i really loved this soft feminine autumn look it has

123

so many floral details i feel like it's the perfect september

124

or october nail design one little trick i do before curing the top coat is flipping my hand over

125

so gravity can help me center that gel into the right place

126

and then cure it for 60 seconds don't forget to moisturize your cuticles

127

and give your hands some love after using acetone and alcohol

128

and so many different chemicals on your fingers so that's what i'm doing

129

and this is the finished look i hope you guys enjoyed this tutorial i hope it was helpful

130

and let me know what you guys want to see next don't forget to follow my Instagram

131

because I sometimes give you guys an option for the next design that you want to see.

132

Thank you for watching.

¿Qué es la Técnica de Shadowing?

Shadowing es una técnica de aprendizaje de idiomas respaldada por la ciencia, desarrollada originalmente para la formación de intérpretes profesionales y popularizada por el políglota Dr. Alexander Arguelles. El método es simple pero poderoso: escuchas audio en inglés nativo y lo repites en voz alta de inmediato, como una sombra que sigue al hablante con solo 1-2 segundos de retraso. A diferencia de la escucha pasiva o los ejercicios de gramática, el shadowing obliga a tu cerebro y músculos de la boca a procesar y reproducir simultáneamente patrones de habla reales. Las investigaciones muestran que mejora significativamente la precisión de la pronunciación, la entonación, el ritmo, el habla conectada, la comprensión auditiva y la fluidez al hablar, convirtiéndola en una de las metodologías más efectivas para la preparación del IELTS Speaking y la comunicación en inglés en el mundo real.
