today's tutorial I'm going to show you how to create a feminine optical
illusion to transform wide toenails that grow upward in addition a pressure point
trick to combat ticklishness and hard to polish toenail tricks plus we're playing
a new game for prizes so stay tuned
yeah okay, I'll take your foot on this side, yep just put it nice and flat, oh and my feet are very ticklish
are you ticklish, okay I have a way of holding the foot so it hits a pressure
point and it helps with that so hopefully I won't tickle you too much while I'm
applying this callus remover to the bottom of the foot let me tell you about
the new game we're playing in addition to the Comment Hall of Fame where I
choose a winner to post on my Instagram and the Random Comment Winner who wins
an item I use in the video I have a new challenge in the winner of the once a
month drawing wins a big prize all you have to do to be entered is post a photo
watching a video of mine tag @themeticulousmanicurist on Facebook or
Instagram let people know my channel name you can even copy the channel link
from your browser into the post and a cool opinion of yours about my channel
I'd rather reward my fans than pay to promote a post of my own this game was
inspired by a fan who did this very thing unsolicited and I was so pleased I
mailed her a gift!
what would you call the shape of my toenails, is there a term to describe that?
it might be ski slope yeah the way that there there's such an exaggerated like
convex shape so to get the optical illusion that it's not growing up you
kind of have to reverse that curvature so I'm gonna have you straighten your leg out a
little bit to create the illusion to reverse that curvature of the free edge
we have to cut the corners of the nails at a 45 degree angle so we're gonna cut
the corners off of them
that one is kind of embedded
is this one hurting? No
looks like it's pulled away a little bit right there in the center, Client: I saw that I didn't know what happened I may have stubbed it
yeah you probably got something stuck underneath there, Client: I usually cut it pretty short
I'm gonna tell you all about my new file when I get to the other foot right now
we're going to concentrate on shaping the free edge in the shape of a smiley face
instead of a frowny face how the toenails were originally and then we're
going to use the file to thin the tip of the nail plate just a little bit to
get rid of the illusion of it flipping up at the edge
someone's coming from Tucson in like two weeks Client: To get a pedicure? That is awesome!
I realized she's a little bit hard to hear so I've turned the volume up really
loud in this video and turn on the captions I've added the captions
I wish they found a place close to home that wasn't just really
Client: Do they have something special going on with their feet?
I didn't talk to her I don't know, Bruce talked to her
Ya know my toes have always been, kind of like
Pedicures I have gotten, whenever I have gotten a professional pedicure they were just ho hum, ya know, no big deal
But I know you know what your doing to make it really be worth it
Yes, I know that feeling you get when you're like you know that really wasn't worth
my money
I think I told you about the time she spent more time cleaning off the polish than she did putting on the polish
yeah, client: Which I appreciated so much, but it took her so long.
Clinet: Did you ever get your supplies to make the mold of your hand?
yes I'm finishing it tonight that's why I still don't have fun nails. I took all
my jewelry off the temperature in my basement, I was going to do it yesterday, but with
all of the rain and the yucky weather I couldn't do it because it says
specifically on the instructions it needs a certain temperature and my
basement was like under the temperature and I was like I am NOT hauling all of
those supplies up to my kitchen
and it was Mother's Day and I'm like I will just do it tomorrow when I get home from work
Client: How long does your hand have to be completely encased, yeah not for very long it's a fast setting product. setting
How was your Mother's Day?
It was really good I just went to my moms, that's nice
Client: I bought her a hanging plant, she really likes this tropical one I got her a few years ago.
I don't know what they do but they live here.
Me: Are they flowering? Client: Yeah, I know that some of them are Hibiscus but I can't remember the one I got I think it was Orange Flower
But they didn't have those this year. So I ended up going to Menard's they have a really good selection of hanging plants.
I got a really cool one that was purple and hot pink.
Oh pretty
you know we've just discovered that store a couple of years ago and I really
like it a lot
yeah
Client: Did your family take you out for Mother's Day?
we went out on Saturday because my oldest had to work yesterday so we went
to a movie we saw the New Avengers movie
Client: Do you go to the theater that is just up the road here?
yeah oh it's really nice
the are selling re fillable buckets of popcorn oh yeah you bring it like we took the buck at
home and the next time
you take it and it's a free you free fifteen dollars
Alright, I am going to sit your foot right on my knee.
Client: I apologize if my foot jumps. This is the ticklish part.
Maybe we'll start down here and let your foot get used to it.
when you have a really ticklish client the key is to keep pressure on a
pressure point that's right below the pad of the foot just slightly to the
left take your on the right foot of the ball
of the foot and succeed to the protruding areas like the heel of the
foot the ball and the pad of the foot try not to run the file right up along
into their arch and then you can go on the outside of the foot too but if you
hit that inside area they're likely to just you know jump right out there seat
I don't know how you do it, if my nails were bare like that they would not survive.
well I actually have a teeny-tiny layer of acrylic on top of them yeah it
doesn't look like it but there is. Client: It looks really natural.
like so, they are so hard, yep
How was that? Not too torturous? Client: No
I think we need a tan don't we? haha
Client: I am basically albino,
Me: So I am I haha
Client: When I am sitting next to my husband it is even more stark he is part Hawaiian.
Client: He has a lot of pigment where as I have none.
Me: A lot of good pigment
We are going to be going there is a few weeks and I know I am going to burn.
Ok, you can bend that knee and put that foot back in the water.
if you're interested in the brush I should have my inventory in about two
weeks so just check back and I should have added it to my online store I
thought it's really easy to clean through this part pops off and it is stainless steel
who's planning on entering the photo tagging contest
I hope lots of you but if you aren't just remember to leave me a comment so
you have a chance to win either the Commet Hall of Fame or the Random Comment
Picker game
Client: Is that a new kind of file Me: Yes, it is. I just got it.
This is the prototype file and I'm sure many of you saw my
post on Instagram or Facebook that the official The Meticulous Manicurist files
have been added to my online store. The file is an eight inch stainless
steel diamond grit file you can use it on your toenails or your fingernails it
is easy to disinfect and won't give you the heebie-jeebies when you use it it's
very smooth and very efficient you can use it to file the dead skin on the ends
of your toes as well and it should last you a lifetime at home as the grit will
last for over a thousand uses you can use them on fingernails too yeah
remember that in addition to cutting the edges of the toenail at a 45 degree
angle to create this optical illusion you do need to file the top of the nail
plate a little bit to remove that slope where it starts to round upwards so
we're going to use the nail file just to file a little bit of the nail plate off
don't file too much because you can thin the nail plate out and then your nail
will bend easily and your polish will buckle and it'll chip off I'm sure
you've noticed also that I'm using my thumb or my index finger to feel the top
of the nail your fingers are always your third eye if you're having trouble
visualizing something if you run your fingertip across a nail plate you'll be
able to feel any imperfections that there are and you'll know exactly where
you need to run your file across again to make it just right
it doesn't take much to create that optical illusion of it being a little
bit flatter on the tip
Client: Do you think you will be able to get pretty close to the cuticle? Me: to polish? Client:yeah
Me: oh yeah
and you can cut or file your toenails with the polish on because the polish
will stay on for a long time like you'll need another pedicure before your polish
we'll start to chip
how long can you go before the length of your toenail starts to bother you?
Client: Well, this was 5 weeks, I only remember that becuase that is how long you told me to wait after I cut my nails last.
But it is mostly just the edges that bother me, Me: which I got rid of so hopefully you can
go like six weeks we will make your next pedicure for six weeks
with it being springtime your nails might grow faster than they did during
the winter
Me: Alright, straighten out your leg.
rest it right on my knee everybody thinks that their leg is heavy but it is not.
Client: Are you sure? Me: I'm sure
it's just really your foot. Remember to always rub the foot with the towel before you
start to use your angel foot file to get all of that callus remover off the
bottom of the foot it dissolves all of that dead skin and when you start to use
the foot file if you don't rub it off with a towel it's just really slippery
and it clogs up your file and you have to keep filing and filing and filing and
filing until it dries up the skin and so it can rub it off so rub the skin first
and then let the file do all of the work I'm not pressing hard into her skin the
grit of this file is so amazing there's a coarse side and a fine side and it all
comes off and it just falls right off
Client: I know I probably shouldn't have but I used one of those callus shavers before. Me: oh yeah, no
yeah those are bad
Client: I need to get one of those for my husband.
Me: Will he use it or will he make you use it on him? I put a link in the upper right-hand
corner of the video where you come by this file and other tools that I've used
and it is trade show season in our industry so in celebration of that the
file is going to be on sale so make your way on over to the store so you can pick
one up today and I do hope if you've learned about the file from my videos
that you will purchase from me and not elsewhere I'm sure you can understand
how disheartening it can be to invest myself in producing these videos and
answering hundreds of questions a day just to have people turn around and buy
elsewhere so I do hope you allow me to reap the benefits through my online
store and purchase from me in exchange for my hard work okay rant over hugs and kisses
thank you
okay you can put that foot back in the water now to learn a few tricks about this
type of toenail for polishing techniques
if you look very closely it's really hard to get underneath that cuticle
because it goes quite deep these cuticles kind of roll up onto the nail
plate so if you can't get your cotton ball way down in there I'm going to show
you a trick to use with a nail art brush to make sure that there aren't any oil
still stuck down inside of that kind of cubby hole that's underneath the cuticle
and then I'm going to show you a trick on how to pull that skin up so you have
room to get your polish brush down underneath the cuticle so you can get
the color all the way back to the back of the nail plate
so one thing that I will share is that if people can't get the cotton
underneath that a lip of the cuticle when there a little bit congested
like that
take a nail art brush with some acetone on it and then slide that right
up underneath the cuticle and that will dehydrate the nail so the polish stays
on really well because that is quite deep under there
one good thing is that you don't need toe separators
so you'll feel me put my finger on the side of your toe and I'll just bend down
a little bit on a few of them just to get a good angle
the polish brush on this base coat is pretty thin so I'm not having too hard
of a trouble sliding the brush underneath that area if we were talking
about when I use the nail art brush to clean from underneath that that skin
that rolls up onto the nail plate but when I get to the Polish it's a very
different shaped brush and I do have a hard time and I don't know if you heard
her talking in the beginning of the video about the last place that she went
to have such a difficult time polishing her toenails that it took them longer
just to clean up the skin around than it did to polish her nails so you'll see me
taking my thumb and pull up on this skin at her cuticle line and that just
creates enough space for me to slide my polish brush right up and into that area
so I can flatten out my brush and polish that nail plate
pretty isn't it
arose by noon broke by Dawn
Rose by dawn broke by noon Rose by dawn broke by noon
I'm gonna use my index finger on my left hand
- to touch press and pull down on the skin to pull that skin away from the
nail plate so I can get some nail polish applicator on the nail plate and get a
nice smooth line down in that nail wall
of course without my nails on I feel like I can't do anything because I used
to use them as tools you know they're like my little assistant sometimes
Client: Lori now I have heard you say they are jewels not tools.
Me: guilty as charged
what do you think so far?
Client: I love them.
