Easy Nail Art at Home 🐾🎀 (Nail Inspo, Application Tips)

Welcome to Jessi's Nail Salon, or your salon, because I'm going to show you how to get the cutest nails by yourself. I present to you, Smarty Pants! Ta-da! This is my press-on collection with Nail Reformation. So the inspiration behind Smarty Pants is I wanted to dedicate this to the girls who feel like the only way to get things done perfectly is to do it yourself. That's like the entire reason why I started doing my own nails, is because I wanted to have full creative freedom. So today I'm going to talk a little bit about the collection, and then I'm also going to show you how to apply these to get them to last as long as possible. Because if you haven't tried Nail Reformation nails, they last just as long as gel extensions for me But you do need to know how to apply them properly. So let's start Okay. So first up we have Control Freak which is one of my favorites. It's the one I'm wearing right now I actually hand painted this originally and it took me five hours to do so now whenever I wear these I can look down At my nails and be like wow This would have taken me five hours to do and now it only takes me 20 minutes next up We have Black Cat. I often get told that I have a black cat personality So that was the inspiration behind this and then I also wanted a darker like lacy design honestly i'm really bad at using nail stamps like i tried to do lace nails before and they just never turn out right so i was like since this is above my skill set maybe i can ask Nail Reformation to make it for me so that i don't have to do it myself so now whenever i want black lace nails i can just wear these then we have Sweet Treat which i love sweets this one's inspired by the very berry trolley gummy worms purple pink and blue and then there's a cat eye in the center which gives that like sugary sparkly effect didn't ask is actually purely out of selfish reasons i I created this one. This is my go-to nail design whenever I don't know what to do with my nails It's just a simple blushing aura nail with a cat eye french tip just so pretty simple and sparkly And it's a design i've done so many times So I was like why do I keep on having to spend like three hours on this? I might as well make press-ons and then I can just wear them whenever I want and then we have Goody Two Shoes when I was brainstorming for this collection my friend Crystal told me like you should do something inspired by your red heels because I feel like when I think of those I think of you. So thank you Crystal because now we have Goody Two Shoes, which is so cute. Next we have Buttoned Up I started collecting buttons about three years ago, so I wanted to do a cute button design next We have Jaded which is inspired by my jade necklace that I wear everywhere If you didn't know jade is usually something that you gift people to protect them So I wanted to create this as a gift to you guys And then finally we have Sew It All which is a play on know it all This one is actually inspired by one of my favorite Barbie movies Princess and the Pauper. It's just a really pretty girly lacy set Next, let's talk application. I'm applying the style Black Cat. Each set comes with everything you need, including your 30 nails, instructions, these are the extra nails to make sure you get the perfect size, a cuticle trimmer, mini nail file and buffer, cuticle pusher, alcohol pad, nail glue, and cuticle oil. Start by prepping your nails with the alcohol pad. This helps completely dry out your nails so the press-ons can grip onto them better. Continue prepping the nails by pushing back your cuticles. You can also use the cuticle trimmer if you need, but I usually don't find it super necessary. Next, I'm buffing the nails using the 2-in-1 nail file and buffer. Use the alcohol pad again to wipe away all the dust. And now, it's time to measure the nails. You want to make sure the press-ons cover your entire nail without being too big or leaving any gaps. There was a slight gap for my thumbnail, so I selected a different size from the included bag. Next, apply your glue. We're going to apply this to both the press-on and your natural nail, and then wait 5 seconds for the glue to tack before applying the press-on. This creates a super strong adhesive layer that keeps your nails lasting for as long as possible. When you apply the press on, put it gently on your natural nail and make sure it's angled in the right direction before fully pressing it in. Once you fully press it in, it's not moving. This glue is really strong, so you want to make sure everything looks perfect first. This step is optional of course, but you can apply a top coat to protect the design and keep your nails looking newly done. Finally, apply the cuticle oil and that's it! Now for the durability test. My fingers hurt after this, but as you can see, there's no lifting. I do have to say, Black Cat is definitely, probably my favorite. just so pretty like the stripes the lace the bows what more could you want in a set and that's smarty pants wait i almost forgot to mention i designed this bag yeah they let me make a merch bag which was so cool so i created these like pants design and then you can also stick one of the nails in the pocket isn't that so cute it says Jessie Luxe heart nail reformation here this is the front i just love when brands give me full creative freedom i hope you guys love this collection i know i'm gonna be re-wearing these nails for a really long time so if you want to shop these and match with me, then make sure to click the link in the description box and I will see you in my next video.
