hi everyone welcome back to my channel or welcome

if you're new here i'm back with another tutorial

and i will be doing my client's nails today my client is coming in around 10 minutes

so i already prepped my desk i already prepped my whole salon

and i'm going to show you guys the whole process from beginning to end of an appointment

and i always say this in every video i always start by prepping the materials

that i need so that i don't have to do that

while my client is waiting for me i usually ask for my client's nail inspo a day before

or the day of it helps me to stay mentally prepared for what their expectations are.

For today, my client asked for a mix of these two in Spos, and it's super cute, super girly,

a little bit of 3D details going on.

I'm gonna try my best to mix these two and come up with a really cute and stylish set, but I already have my materials prepped.

Like I said, my desk is clean, sanitized.

The materials I'm gonna need are probably already near my desk.

I already have my 3D gels and all the nail art tools that are my essentials.

If you guys want to know what my favorite nail products are, what my nail desk essentials are,

products that I have beside me at all times, go check out the recent video where I posted what my must -have products are,

and I break down everything from removal to nail prep to cuticle prep to the GelX application and everything.

Let me know if I forgot anything.

I think we're good without further ado let's get into the tutorial

and i'll show you guys every single step my client is usually a diy girl

so she removed her previous set by herself at home she soaked it off she said

so these are the conditions of her natural nail she wants a gel ex set today

so we're gonna start right away with the prep

i'm grabbing my 240 grit sanding band going at a speed of 5 000 rpms at a forward direction

and lightly buffing and scratching the surface of her natural nail to remove the shine

if you want the retention to be good

and your extensions to last over a month

you have to be really detailed with the step go around those corners as well around the cuticle

if you're going at a really high speed

and adding too much pressure to the natural nail you're going to end up burning your client

so make sure that you're controlling your pacing

when using the e -file now i'm going to go in with my diamond

and flame bit i'm going at a speed of 6 ,000 RPMs.

Make sure you're holding this almost flat to the nail and not digging into the nail.

You want to control the motion of that nail bit so

that you're pushing back the cuticle and not digging into the nail plate.

I try not to go over one area for more than three swipes and then I move on to the next area.

This constant change of movement helps you to control that nail bit so you're not over filing in one area.

You can always come back to that nail later on

and continue on lifting that pocket up but just give it a rest every now and then.

Every client has a different cuticle type so you have to change your prep method.

Also the bit that you're using depending on your client's cuticles

but the thing I love about the diamond and flame bit is

that it's so versatile you can use it on almost every single client and it gets the job done.

The next cuticle bit that I'm using is this tapered bit and I'm going at the same speed.

I love this bit because it's super gentle on the cuticles

and it's that perfect last step before you go in with your cuticle nipper

and it really helps you to clean up around that area.

I recommend starting off with just this tapered barrel bit if you're a beginner.

What you could use instead of the diamond and flame bit is first go in with a cuticle pusher, maybe even some cuticle softener,

push back that cuticle and then use this tapered barrel bit to kind of polish

that skin and really lift up that pocket.

Then I'm going in with my sharp cuticle nippers and I'm using the stainless steel nippers.

I get these from Amazon and I love the stainless steel material just

because it doesn't rust and it's really easy to sanitize, sterilize.

I recommend replacing your nippers every two to three months.

Once they become dull, it's really hard to cut precise

and cleanly and can be really dangerous for your clients

because you're just tugging on that skin

so that's just a little tip for you guys

if you've been struggling with the cuticles and it's a really detailed

and high skill work to work with the cuticles

so don't give up just be careful and always follow regulations within your state or within your country.

after doing some minimal filing to tuck in the corners of her nails

we're going in with the sanitizing alcohol i mixed some water

and isoprophil and then scrubbing that off all the dust

and all the dirt that's on her nails i try to go in with the sanitizing alcohol quite a lot

so that i can make sure that every step is sanitized

and hygienic for my client

if there's some gel on her skin i always try to wipe

that off as well also one thing

that you could do for your client is to ask

if it hurts when you spray the alcohol and

that way you know

that you did the cuticles correctly here i'm going in with the model ones dehydrator

and this is just concentrated mix of alcohol

and acetone just to make sure that you're stripping

that nail of all its natural oils you don't want anything to be interfering with the gel nail glue

so after i've applied that and let

that dry i'm going in with the gel nail glue

and applying a very thin layer of that on all of the natural nails.

I say this in every video but

if you accidentally get some gel on your client's skin or even on your own skin,

make sure that you immediately clean up with a brush and some acetone.

Cleaning up is so important and sanitizing is so important when you're working with uncured gel.

So what happens when you don't clean that up

and you just let that gel sit on the skin you can get contact dermatitis

or any kind of infection just from that chemical sticking on your skin so make sure that you're being very careful

in applying the gel and then cleaning up the gel

so we're going with the natural medium almond from appraise

and then i'm applying that curing it for around 20 seconds and then moving on to applying the next nail.

I try to hold my thumb over that nail sometimes to feel the heat.

My flash gear light is very concentrated and strong

so I just try to cover their nail to prevent that heat spike from happening or just even to feel it coming.

So that's just one trick if you don't want to give them a heat spike.

You can either constantly move the light or just cover their nail.

Before applying these Gell -X tips, I actually buffed the inside of the extensions with the 240 grit sanding band

I always make sure to buff the inside so that the nail extensions can also have a good grip on them

100

And then i'm applying them at a 45 degree angle

101

and then slowly pushing it down to see if I added too much gel or not enough gel

102

Most of the time I already kind of got used to my client's nail bed

103

So I know exactly how much glue I have to apply but you can always reapply them.

104

The great thing with gel is you have time to constantly retry.

105

It's never going to dry on its own unless you put the curing light on top.

106

After she's cured her whole hand for 60 seconds into the big lamp,

107

I'm going in with my 240 grit sanding band again and then buffing the whole surface of the extension.

108

Up until this point, I've used my buffer three times

109

and it definitely saves a lot of time to be using an e -file to do all of this step.

110

Now I'm going in with this ceramic bit that's also kind of on the finer side

111

so it's quite gentle to use

112

but I'm being very careful as I go around the cuticle area

113

and blending that extension into the natural nail and this process is called sealing the cuticle.

114

This step is so important if you want to prevent any liftings from happening.

115

By the way, I'm going at a higher speed here i'm going at around 7 000 rpms with a forward motion

116

and i'm doing the same technique where i don't go over one spot too many times

117

i constantly try to move

118

that drill ever since i started incorporating this step into my routine

119

i've noticed a huge difference in my client's retention also the aesthetic of just the finished look it looks

120

so natural it doesn't look like an extension anymore because it looks like it's coming out of their natural nail.

121

I'm grabbing this mini buffer that I have

122

and then making sure everything is smooth around the corners

123

and dust it off and then I'm going in with my cuticle brush and blending that extension in using some acetone.

124

All the brushes that I'm using in this video is from my new collection of nail art brushes that I just launched.

125

I've been working on this project for over a year

126

and each of these brushes in the collection is handmade in Kobe, Japan.

127

Each brush that I chose to include in this collection is specifically for everything I teach on YouTube,

128

the whole Jell -X process to the intricate nail art that I teach as well.

129

So if you are a DIY nail artist or professional nail artists who want to invest in good quality products, then the link is down below.

130

Thank you so much for everyone who already pre -ordered and have been supporting me on this journey.

131

I love each and every one of you.

132

Thank you so much, but let's get back to the tutorial.

133

I'm applying some base coat after rubbing in the acetone around the cuticle area.

134

and this is just to make sure that I have a really good base

135

and foundation so I can go in with my builder gel nudes.

136

One thing I'm really careful with when I'm doing the base coat is

137

that I apply a thin layer and not a really bulky

138

or slippery layer and honestly that's what I do for each layer of gel that I put.

139

I don't want the end product to look bulky and thick.

140

After the base coat is cured for 60 seconds I'm going in with my beetles builder gel.

141

This is the shade D056 i believe

142

and it has this beautiful pinky shade

143

it's honestly one of my favorite shades to use the reason i use a builder gel

144

and i've explained this in several of my other tutorials i just love the strength

145

and durability that builder gels provide

146

and you could obviously go in with a soft gel just a soft gel nude

147

and apply to two to three layers for it to be pigmented enough

148

but here obviously i'm gonna use a builder gel nude instead of soft gel

149

and i also love building the apex so that is a beautiful shape at the end.

150

So that's what I'm doing here.

151

I'm applying a slip layer of that builder gel.

152

I do two fingers at a time so I'm working with two fingers

153

but if you guys want to just start with one finger that's completely fine.

154

You can be a little bit more detailed.

155

After making sure

156

that the slip layer is perfectly laid I'm gonna put a little bit more builder gel around the cuticle area

157

and then drag it down and you want to make sure

158

that you apply not too much but not too little enough

159

so you can kind of move the gel around once you flip the finger over.

160

The best length of brush to use here is a 12 millimeter brush

161

and that's what I'm using here my long liner brush

162

and I use this every time whenever I do a builder gel application.

163

It's made exactly so it can carry that heavyweight builder gel

164

and you can move it up and down the nail until you like the area where the builder gel sits.

165

If you ever want to get into doing natural nails this is the same technique you're going to use

166

when building the strength on natural nails.

167

You're going to have to use hard gel or boulder gel

168

and then kind of maneuver that gel to sit in the right area.

169

This is one technique with nails that is a make

170

or break if you don't do the builder gel application properly and the apex is not strong your nails can easily lift,

171

crack, or just lose its shape and balance.

172

So not only is this important for the aesthetics of the nail,

173

it's also very important for just the structure of the nail so that they last long.

174

And that's why I say I love

175

Builder Gel for their strength and durability.

176

It definitely makes the nails look 10 times better and also makes the nails last a lot longer.

177

here I'm grabbing my lint -free pad with some alcohol

178

and wiping down

179

that stickiness after curing the builder gel the beetles builder gel tends to have this tacky layer afterwards

180

and if you want to go in with some nail art you want to remove

181

that tacky layer so I'm wiping it off I'm starting with the middle finger

182

and doing a french design I'm gonna be doing two to three french designs on one hand

183

and i'm grabbing my 16 millimeter french liner brush

184

and this is perfectly designed to give you that steady hand

185

and precision that you're going to need i don't have a specific technique

186

when it comes to doing french nails i've gone through many phases of using different techniques

187

but i always just end up being lazy

188

and just drawing out the smile line first making sure that's symmetrical

189

and then i fill in everything else with the white gel polish

190

or any kind of polish color that i'm using

191

so i focus on the smile line and the precision of

192

that first and then i fill everything out

193

and depending on the gel polish that i'm using i will only need one coat

194

and sometimes instead of doing a proper second coat

195

i will just apply some gel polishes around the corners of the smile line

196

so that the lines are super crisp

197

and refined i'm gonna repeat this step on the thumb my camera stopped at a moment

198

that i didn't realize so i forgot to film this line, this pink line that I made on the middle finger,

199

but we're going to use that same shade of pink and do another French nail on the index.

200

Here I'm going in with the high pigmented gels and then putting it at the center of the nail.

201

I picked a pink shade that is very similar to the shade of Frenchie

202

that I did and then I'm just going to build up those layers.

203

at least two to three times and just dab

204

that color high pigmented color in with a little sponge and then blend that out.

205

I'm also using my flash cure light and curing

206

that layer for five to ten seconds and then doing

207

that in between each layer and then at the end I make my client put

208

that hand into the big lamp so that I can fully cure

209

and this kind of makes the process a lot quicker and easier for me to control the layers that I'm putting on.

210

Sometimes I will have my client put it into the lamp

211

and then I lose track of how many layers I've done

212

or what I need to do on that hand so in that case I use my flash cure light.

213

On her pinky nail I'm doing a white ombre

214

and then on her middle finger I'm just dapping a little bit of

215

that pink in to add a little something

216

and then I'm grabbing my white gel polish with my french liner again and adding some a few detailed thin lines.

217

This was on the inspo photo so I just decided to do what the nail artist did and it was definitely cute.

218

It was my first time doing something like this where I do an ombre on a front sheet

219

and then some detailed lines on top and it looked really really cute.

220

now it's time to do the 3d flower designs

221

and I'm using the lime girl solid gel here

222

and I really love the solidness of this solid gel I don't know how to describe it

223

but it's very moldable

224

and it kind of stays in place it doesn't melt I just made four beads for those four petals

225

and then I applied them using this silicone tool that I have.

226

I'm molding the shape of each petal.

227

I really enjoy working with solid gel.

228

I feel like I can create anything I want.

229

They feel like play -doh and I'm really excited for all the summer flower designs

230

that I'm gonna have to do and I'm really really excited.

231

for the rest of the nails i'm adding some finishing touches using hard gel

232

i'm using the water gloss hard gel from amazon

233

and then i'm swiping it with my 12 millimeter brush

234

and this is again a brush that controls that heavyweight gel perfectly so you don't have to do much work.

235

You just have to swipe that on.

236

Don't overthink it.

237

I see a lot of people just pushing that brush into the nail

238

and it makes the gel go a little bit more flatter.

239

So make sure that you're just trusting the brush to do its work and don't apply too much pressure.

240

Just swipe it off.

241

I also make sure to flash cure in between so that hard gel doesn't melt and kind of flatten out.

242

I like for the hard gel to keep its shape and make it look more voluminous if that makes sense.

243

I'm doing the similar technique on the index finger

244

but making those swipes come towards each other so that it looks like beautiful waves.

245

The last design that I'm doing is on the thumb and I've applied some blooming gel,

246

a thin layer, and then without curing that layer I'm going in with

247

that same pink shade using a dotting tool I applied five dots in a floral shape

248

and then using my 12 millimeter brush I'm just grabbing some of

249

that pink again and swiping it so

250

that it looks like a very tropical flower

251

and that's it for this nail design

252

but we're gonna go in with some charms

253

I love adding these little small details I try to choose smaller beads

254

and smaller charms just so that it can look more intricate instead of adding big charms

255

that kind of overpower the whole design one tip

256

if you guys have been struggling with your charms not lasting

257

or that they're chipping off their color to prevent

258

that from happening i recommend going in with non -wipe charm glue

259

and once you apply the charms and you cure

260

that you apply some more on top make sure

261

that you're not applying too much glue so

262

that it kind of like looks bulky but

263

that extra step is definitely going to help your charms to last longer

264

and look a lot better to seal everything in

265

and to make these nails last a good four weeks

266

we're going to go in with the glossy top coat from cocoist

267

and i love this top coat

268

because it has a beautiful finish you don't have to wipe it after afterwards

269

and i've tested this top coat with everything with chrome with charms

270

and most of the time this top coat still looks super glossy at the end of four weeks.

271

After curing everything for 60 seconds, making sure that the thumbs are cured as well,

272

I'm going in with my alcohol again one last time to make sure that everything is sanitized and clean.

273

I'm scrubbing off any dust that could be on her fingers

274

or under her nails and then I'm applying some cuticle oil to make sure that her hands and fingers are moisturized.

275

this is the finished look

276

and the end of the tutorial let me know what you guys thought of this design

277

I really like it super girly and cute make sure to like

278

and subscribe and I'll see you guys in my next video

¿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.
