- [Destinee] This is a whole hot mess right now.
-
- Oh girl, why?
-
(man sighing) Her acrylic is very watery.
-
(upbeat music)
-
- Hey y'all what's up, I'm Destinee.
-
Staying at home has forced me to become my own beautician.
-
I've learned how to do these braids.
-
I've learned how to do strip lashes.
-
I am now at the point where I can longer look like this.
-
(upbeat music)
-
I'm going to do my own full set of acrylics
-
without any guidance.
-
I don't even know if I have all the tools.
-
No matter what happens,
-
my nails will be done.
-
The world could end and my nails will be done.
-
We gotta go.
-
We're getting length, darling.
-
We're getting length.
-
- Hi my name's Anthony,
-
I'm a nail artist and I'm going to be reacting to Destinee
-
doing her nails for the first time.
-
So before I ever decided to get into nails
-
I was actually in the military for six years.
-
It's very structured.
-
I decided to get out because I wanted to change
-
my creative appearance.
-
So I found my journey
-
to becoming a nail tech through school.
-
I always wanted to get my license.
-
So if you decide to take the school route,
-
it's gonna take relatively five months.
-
That's why I'm interested to see Destinee
-
create her own nails without any experience.
-
- I'm gonna have somebody like rip apart this tutorial
-
and I obviously don't know what I'm doing.
-
So I just cut my nails down and I filed them even.
-
- She has really good nail beds.
-
Probably because she's let her nails grow now
-
and she hasn't got nails done in a while.
-
- [Destinee] I just went back over and cleaned off my nails.
-
- If you do have polish on
-
you always remove the polish first.
-
You cut the nails and then you do file them down.
-
If they want their nails shorter.
-
So far she's doing pretty good.
-
Just gonna wait until she gets to the acrylic part.
-
- [Destinee] The next step was to figure out
-
what sized nail tips I need.
-
This honestly was the hardest part for me.
-
I don't really know what they're looking for.
-
Like this thumb I think is probably the right size.
-
This index finger I can tell you definitely was not.
-
- When we size nail tips to our clients,
-
we always look for the nail tip
-
where it doesn't dig into the side of your skin.
-
So us nail techs don't put the nail tips
-
back into the nail tip case when we're sizing our clients
-
because it contaminates our other nail tips.
-
And we don't want that.
-
- [Destinee] So the next step was to glue down the tips.
-
I realized very shortly after
-
that this was way too much glue
-
because the nail was slipping
-
and sliding literally everywhere.
-
And it took forever to get this first nail down.
-
But pretty much after I had this left hand done,
-
the right hand was really easy even though
-
I'm right dominant.
-
Adding more glue 'cause who ever said
-
more glue is not right?
-
- Okay so she did put a lot of glue on.
-
(Anthony laughs)
-
If you put too much glue
-
it's not gonna stick very well.
-
One thing that she didn't do was prep her nail.
-
Before you even glue your nail tip on
-
you wanna prep the nail.
-
So you wanna buff it out and get the shine off
-
that way your nail tip lasts way longer.
-
- [Destinee] And then the next step was to file the nails
-
so it would blend.
-
Come to find out later I didn't actually
-
blend it all the way right I don't think.
-
But I thought I did something.
-
I actually didn't have one of those like nail tip clips
-
so I just used these scissors
-
and I will file making sure they're like even
-
and matched up.
-
Now to the fun part that we've all been waiting on.
-
- So actually I'm gonna pause it right now
-
because I noticed that she missed a step.
-
And she forgot to prime her nail.
-
What primer does,
-
it actually helps the acrylic stick to your natural nail
-
that way your nails last longer.
-
And she did not do that.
-
- [Destinee] I didn't know how much or how little
-
to actually apply and so I just globbed the product on.
-
- Oh girl, why?
-
The reason why her acrylic is very very watery and gooey
-
is because she has too much liquid on her brush.
-
Then it's gonna flood your cuticles
-
and it's just gonna make a big mess.
-
I'm surprised.
-
I wanna see the end of this because (laughs).
-
- [Destinee] So of course what you do to the left
-
you must do to the right.
-
So here's me doing the other side of my hand.
-
Again it was just literally all over the place.
-
Shaping it, getting the right amount of powder,
-
I think I used more products on the paper towel
-
than I actually used on my nail.
-
- You never wanna get your paper towel to look that messy.
-
It damages your brush and then all that acrylic
-
just stays in your brush.
-
- [Destinee] This is a whole hot mess right now.
-
Now's the time where we're like,
-
get heavy into this filing.
-
- So this is something similar that she had.
-
This is a 150 by 150 coarse grit.
-
So the more coarse you use for acrylic nails
-
the less coarse you wanna use for your natural nails.
-
- It's all over the place but I mean I think they pass,
-
right?
-
Like until you get real close up on it
-
then that's a different conversation.
-
I'm gonna go wash my hands.
-
All right time to get to a design.
-
- Now she's getting into the creative heart.
-
Which I'm so excited for to see what she's gonna actually
-
do to her nails.
-
- I had this one style a while back
-
where it looked like paint running down my nails.
-
But instead I'm going to make it the pride rainbow colors.
-
So I started with my base coat and I cured it
-
and the next step was to use like these dotting tools
-
with the polish and kind of like start making
-
the base of what was supposed to be the drip.
-
It made sense in my head and it looked good in my head.
-
But then when I started to look at it
-
I was like I don't know what I'm doing
-
this doesn't look like the design that I had in my head.
-
- It's very creative, it's cute.
-
I love the colors that she chose.
-
They're very like neon pigmented.
-
- [Destinee] I don't think I had the right brushes
-
I know I for sure didn't have the right technique
-
but y'all, your girl tried.
-
When it came down to it and I had put on this last top coat.
-
I was not happy.
-
- I mean for her first time, honestly it looks really good.
-
It looks cute.
-
- [Destinee] I was over it so I was like
-
I'm gonna try a different design.
-
So I filed this off.
-
And went with an ombre.
-
I just put the polishes on like this little sponge
-
so they would ombre through and then I just ran them
-
across my nails like so.
-
- I knew she was going to do a rainbow look.
-
I knew it, I knew it.
-
It came out really cute.
-
And honestly that's a technique that I use sometimes.
-
Is you wanna get one of those like makeup sponges
-
and you wanna layer your polishes
-
and you can literally do the same exact look like that.
-
And they turned out better than I had anticipated.
-
I did get polish all over my fingers.
-
But they turned out good.
-
They turned out good.
-
After I applied all of the colors
-
I cured it again for the last time.
-
- I noticed that she cured her gel before cleaning
-
around her cuticles.
-
In order to clean that you would just get like a
-
any brush with acetone and you just wanna clean that up.
-
Gel polish doesn't dry until you cure it under the light.
-
So I don't know how she took that off
-
but I'm pretty sure it wasn't easy.
-
- [Destinee] What is pride without a bit of sparkle?
-
So to top it off I added like this sparkly coat,
-
that I felt really brought some texture and fun.
-
- That's really cute.
-
I love the glitter.
-
- [Destinee] And here is the design.
-
But the nails itself like when you get real close up on it
-
it's like girl you definitely did this by yourself
-
and you had no kind of help whatsoever.
-
This is truly my first time ever doing it
-
so I think in passing it works.
-
(upbeat music)
-
- I like that style.
-
The glitter that she put on
-
actually like brought it out even more.
-
If I had to rate her nails from a scale of one to 10
-
I would have to give her a six.
-
Her creativity was on point.
-
Her overall application on putting the acrylics
-
she didn't do too well.
-
It came out lumpy.
-
She overflood her cuticles.
-
Probably caused a lot of filing to do
-
and then her nails are eventually going to start lifting.
-
But for her first time not even having a tutorial
-
in front of her, she did pretty good.
-
I love doing what I do.
-
And I love making people feel good about themselves.
-
For all my males out there,
-
if you ever thought about becoming a nail tech go for it.
-
There's not enough males in this industry.
-
We gotta represent.
-
At the end of the day you gotta do what makes you happy.
