Heya Duck in today's Video I’m going to be doing a nail that Adam has been banging on about for like as long as we have been making videos… an Aquarium Nail, Keep watching x

Okay so I'm going to be doing this one on the Aleana Hand… Aleana is actually the only one of my clients I trust for a nail like this and I'll start by giving her a nail and then I’m going to create her extension tip if you have a tip that is a little bit flatter you probably won’t have to do this I’m using a 1,2,3 go tip from Max Estrada and ill file a smile line fitting into this that will line up with the free edge of the Aleana nail more or less ill reduce the thickness of that tip and then ill stick it on with some nail glue and then ill blend that in with a file.

Now I'll prep a second tip this one has more of a c-curve and this one with be layered over the top of the other one to create a chamber for the liquid so I'll cut off the smile line as we won’t need that section of the nail and then ill thin out the edges of this nail as well.

I’ll clean over my extension with the clean-up solution. Lint-free pad and then I’ll take two of my Jelly Top coats Hugo and Les I’ll paint a very thin layer of the Hugo and then place it into patches of Les to create this Aquatic Colour and I’ll give that a cure.

Now I can position and secure my second tip using some nail glue to start out and when the glue is holding that in place I'll use my acrylic to complete the structure of this nail starting with the free edge and cuticle area using the Strip tease acrylic powder and then ill use glass slipper to seal the edges of that tip and ill give a thin transparent layer over the tip as well.

Now I'll create a cap for the end of my chamber using the glass slipper clear acrylic on a sculpting form and I'll just make a super thin disk with the acrylic and then where that sets up we can measure that mark it with a pencil and just cut out that shape to create the seal with.

Now I'll file my nails into shape ill take them off the Aleana's hand so I don’t damage the hand and ill go through my normal filing routine then can use some canned air to remove any dust from the inside and I'll also clean over the nail with the clean up solution.

Now I'll create a whale to go inside of my Aquarium and to do that I'll pencil out the contour of a whale on the back of a sculpting form and then I'll take my white-out gel polish and my Cassidy detailer brush and paint that initial shape ill then add a couple of layers of the white out to each side curing in-between to add mass to the whale, then ill clean over the whale with a clean up solution on a lint-free pad and then I can peel the whale from the form and paint their markings using the Void Gel Polish and then ill give them a top coat and cure that.

Now I can add some bits and bobs to the chamber and I want some seaweed in there so I'll cut up some pieces of this dryed out leaf that I have I also want to add in some glitter and I have here Holo unicorn ultra by Sparkle Nail Supplies and a couple from Lecente, Pegasus Chunky and Iridescent Blue Skies and ill whack some of them 3 in there then ill pop the little whale in there and some cuticle oil using a syringe and then we can take our cap and glue that into place before using the Glass slipper acrylic to complete that seal and then I can let that set up and file that distal point into a nice shape.

I'll give this one last clean-over with the clean-up solution and then I'll give it the final topcoat to seal everything in and that’s it! I hope you enjoyed the video and I'll catch you in the next one T’Rah Duck!

Lots a Love KM xoxo
