 I'm calling you out. For what? You incessantly go to that beauty store and you don't have a membership there? I do, every time they're like, do you have a Sally beauty card? And I'm like, no. She's like, it'll save you like $20. I'm like, you know what? I found out about myself that I like to take my money and chuck it into the toilet and flush it. Hey, what's up you guys? Yes. Just a couple of days ago, I was sitting on the couch with my friend, Shan, and we were trying to find something on YouTube to watch that was relaxing. So of course I was like, here, I'll turn on nail career education. Here I was thinking that Suzy of Nail Career Education did a lot of acrylics, but she's doing this thing called gel nails. Now, forgive me as a person that does not go to the nail salon very often, clearly. I thought gel was just like the gel polish. I had never seen anything that was like gel acrylics, but it's basically like, instead of the acrylic powder and acrylic liquid, it comes in a gel form and it just fucking stays like that until you put it in a UV light. So we were sitting there watching it and I'm like, damn, that looks so hard, so frustrating. Why would anyone do that? I go upstairs, I like go to the bathroom, change my clothes, put my contacts in, come back downstairs, and Suzy's still crafting one fingernail out of this shit. So I'm like, you know what I wanna do? Is I wanna try it and then compare it to on a normal person scale, the level of difficulty it is compared to acrylic nails. So I know this is a similar video, but to me it's very different because I did not know that this existed. I think I'm gonna dip right into this rose. Look at that. What the fuck is that? But that's the pink. Let's open the translucent, very curious. So something I struggled with so much with the acrylic nails was the liquid to powder ratio. So maybe I'm thinking a way to bypass that and to have beautiful acrylic nails is to use a gel because there is, this is everywhere. I'm gonna do a little primer. I don't know what it does, but Suzy says we need it. So I'm reusing these kiss nail forms. I'm doing good already. One mistake I made in my first video was that these were pointed down. I ended up with some hot ass witch nails. You know what I'm saying? What I like about gel nails already, just from my first impression is that it seems like you started to just dip your brush in here and go for it, which I'm all about. So I'm just gonna grab some of this nasty, disgusting, whatever this is and jam it on my finger. Now usually with the acrylic, like you can clean it up with the acetone, but I don't know how that works with this. Do you, Julian? Are you serious? No. You just spread it on there and then you're gonna have a nail at the end. I don't know, it's not really looking like a nail yet. Gotta get a little more. That looks like a good amount, right? Okay, that seems like it's getting out of hand already. I wanna make it like hella long. How the fuck are you supposed to, like maybe if I just let it chill, it'll go into a nail shape. I don't think that's a good method. How is anyone supposed to work with this? It just goops onto your brush more every time you touch it. Unlike the acrylic where you can just like dab it on there and then get some acetone and like shape it, there's no hope for this. Like look at that. So then I take my goopy brush and jam it back up. Who thought of this? It's so uneven everywhere, but the length is amazing. Let's get it under there. See what happens. Ooh, ow, it's hot. Like is it gonna penetrate when it's that thick? That's what she said. Julia! Ow, yeah. Oh my God. See the side how it's all like drip down? That's what the fuck I'm talking about. You know when you were a kid and you used to take like your Elmer's glue and you used to put it in your desk and let it dry until the next day and then peel it out and you have like a piece of glue? It looks like that on a finger nail. So it looks like we need like another layer or something. Like this isn't right. I mean, I'm very pleased with the length. I think the length is very reasonable, very natural, very Kylie Jenner by my lip kit. How are you putting more? You need longer nails? No, I'm making it thicker, dog. How many Cs? With three Cs. I gotta fill in these gaps. Trying to polish a turd, dog. Let me live. There is a big gap right here from where it couldn't quite get the gel in. Yeah, okay. It doesn't look amazing. It looks like an icicle on the finger. It's a little thicker at the tip, but I mean, no one was ever mad at a thick tip. That's what she said. Ooh, it's starting to hurt. I feel like that's a good look. Julian, wouldn't you agree? No, I wouldn't agree. Agree with me. I would not agree. Let's keep going. All right, let's make a square one. That's how I eat spaghetti. I like to turn the fork like that. I mean, it's very similar to eating spaghetti. Smells the same too. Because it cures in the UV gel, in theory, you can just jam something in here and then put it under the light, no? I need something to jam in my nail. Julian suggested that I try putting a Sour Patch Kit. This is gonna be too hard. Like, is this how artists do like 3D nail art? Isn't there gonna be Sour Patch Kit in this gel now? Let me put that under there and see if this works. Cause I feel like this is an incredible medium to jam things onto your nail with. Like instead of, ow. I can jam anything out of my nails with the clear one. All right, so this one is baked and ready to go. Oh, it has a tail. But look at the Sour Patch Kit. This is my new favorite nail thing ever. Acrylic gel is amazing. The Sour Patch Kit is completely intact and stuck to my nail. Are you kidding me? So this nail did not come out square. I don't know how to get rid of it. Oh, oh, oh. Oh, okay, that worked. I just broke it. The rest of it is amazing. Look at that. A Sour Patch Kit on my nail. Do you think that the Sour Patch Kit is going to live through the acetone? Oh my God, dinner. I feel like this is my favorite beauty tool that I have found in a while. This is fucking magic. I love you, Christine, simply nail logical. But like, get on this fucking level, girl. You're missing out. This is where the fun's at. It is so bad. It tastes like poison. So now I've unlocked a world of possibility. Let's ditch the pink for a minute. Let's like use the clear. So it's like totally encapsulated in there. Does this Sour Patch Kit say to the Sour Patch Dad? What? I hate you, Dad. You're a dick. Like all you need is a pot of this and a UV light and the possibilities are fucking endless. Like Susie, I appreciate you, but you did not say how much fucking fun acrylic gel is. Trying to see. No, I think that's good. Okay, the clear one like wheelie burns. I think it's cooking my Sour Patch Kit. I'm just gonna take some of the acrylic gel. I'm gonna encapsulate. Oh, it's like, oh. So it's gonna be preserved in time? Yeah, but it's like, it's like folded up. It like actually cooked. It's like the fossil of, oh, because it's plastic. Oh. It's like the fossil of stupid. Julian, you know, I'm an archeologist and I'm digging for stupid fossils tonight, baby. Ah. It's hot. Do you know what pain is? Yeah. It's a physiological response to tell you to stop doing something. Never. All right, are you ready for this reveal? I feel like that's encapsulated enough. Look at that. This is what the fuck I'm talking about. It's completely encapsulated in the clear gel. This, remember how I said in my acrylic bit nail videos, like this is the most fun I've had with like nail stuff in a while? I lied. This is the most fun I've had with nail stuff in a while. This is some real 2008 hot shit. All right, let me, I need to get rid of this. Get it, looking real regular. Yo, that honestly looks fucking tight, except for the creepy weird like icicle tip. I don't get the icicle tip. In terms of saving you time, this is incredible. You can do this so fast. You're not worried about a piece of plastic. Like think of all the times that I wear like press on nails or something. Like I feel like I could do this kind of fast. You literally do press on nails in the car on the way to things. You could not do this that fast. Yes, I could. No, you couldn't. Yes, I could. And I would show up to wherever I'm going, looking absolutely beautiful. I'd be like, oh my God, let me see those nails. And I'd be like, yes, bitch, here they are. And they're like, damn. Excuse me, bitch, you have to go home, the event's over. You weren't invited. Yes, I was, bitch, look at my nails. Jen, is this crashing events to show off her nails late? Miss, miss, who are you? I look at my nails, bitch, let's see it. I want to see how buildable it is. I want to see if I can make it like actually 3D. Like I want it to be a little mouthful. Oh, shit. What? You build it, you bought the builder. In order to perfect this part, you do have to have some level of technique, which I sincerely lack. All right, so like a nice little bloop, bloop, bloop, bloop, bloop, bloop, bloop, go. Oh my God, bloop, go? What do you mean, squirt it out? I can see it like falling. Like it's not staying blooped up. Just keep doing bloops until it stays up. Look it, that's as blooped as I got it. It's just blooped over to the side. Hey, mate. All right, let's try to bloop it. Sorry, Christine, I'm coming for your polished mountain. Well, maybe the way that works is because there's gravity and people aren't meant to do it. Whatever. Let's look at Bloop Mountain. It's bloop mowing, y'all. It came out a little hairy. This is the weirdest looking thing ever. It looks like you have an alien claw coming out of your finger. I'm gonna file off Bloop Mountain's hairs. It took me hours. Does this just come all the way out? All around me, all around me. It looks like it's giving me the finger. It looks how you say homemade. This one feels good. This one feels like how a nail should feel. What? That one looks the most absolutely fucked. You're pleased? Yeah. Let's name those styles. So you can put them on the menu at your nail salon. Bloop Mountain. No, that one's alien versus predator. Bloop Mountain. Sarapatch please, Sarapatch yes, fuck it all. One fuck me up fam. This is the fuck me up fam. So for my thumb, I was like, Julian, what do you think I should do with my thumb? And he was like, put a fidget spinner. So we're gonna try. I mean, I don't think it's gonna end up well. I'm not gonna use the nail form. I'm just gonna put the acrylic gel on here because there's no need to have a long nail at the end of it. Like I wanna test the limits of acrylic gel. Will it hold a full fidget spinner? I don't know if this is possible. Do you believe? Stop spinning it. I wanna see if it's gonna work. Like I've seen nail art with fidget spinners, like little ones. People are like, Jen, do this, do this. But like, I'm not sure I've seen this attempted. If anybody's gonna do it, it's gonna be me. If this does not get me a one-way ticket into the beauty guru community, I quit. Oh, my fucking God. Are you kidding me? Oh my God, it worked. Remind me, I did not embed candle hands with a balloon like let's try it again. We're just gonna keep going until it stays. I'm amazed that it worked even a little bit. Stop laughing. How did I do that before? Like, if I flip it over. Da da da, I've done the impossible, impossible. Now, something I am concerned about is how the fuck? I'm gonna get this off. Welcome to Diary of a 31 year old lady. Oh, it's for this shit to stop. Get me into the beauty classic. Like, hello, education, who? Get on my fucking level. Like, what if I showed up late to an event I wasn't invited to and I said, look at my nails. That's quicker than actually dialing 911. Like, they would come faster than if you just called 911. Hello, 911, what's your emergency? Yeah, there's a lady with fidget spinner nails. She won't get out. I'm just gonna go ahead and say what we're all thinking. Acrylic gel is the best invention that's ever been invented. I wasn't thinking that. Yes, you were. I have candy in my nails, candy wrappers, a mini mountain. One sad fuck me up and a fidget spinner nail. From a real nail perspective though, like, if you're looking to do acrylic nails at home, I feel like you could do this and get okay at it. It's very difficult to work with, but like, if you really sort of like filed this down and put some nail polish on it, no, you'd come out looking regular. And the fact that you can just jam stuff on them and then bake them under a light is like an added bonus. 10 out of 10 fun. Acrylic gel is the most fun I've had with my nails. Ever, ever, ever, ever. Read this look out of. 13. Dang it. Julien, you're walking past someone on the street. They walk past you and they go. What do you do? What do you do? I probably don't know one of, wow, I asked her out. I think Susie from nail career education sincerely downplayed just how wonderful of a product this really is. Would you like some? No. Why not? No, because I know I'm doing that with your thumb. It's such a shit. See, little bitch, you can't fuck with me if you wanted to. Get out, like leave. Make sure you subscribe to my channel. I put on new videos every Wednesday slash Thursday. I hope that you enjoyed this. I hope that it's giving you some nail inspiration and to go to your local fucking beauty supply store and get yourself a UV lamp in some acrylic gel because this is next level fun. How do I get this off? Ow, how do I get this off? How do I get this off? How do I, oh. Oh. Okay, bye. Okay, bye.
