Jawbreaker Nails (I drilled my nail)

wow wow oh my god well hello everyone ow it's me christine again and in today's video i painted my nails many many times because we're going to make jawbreaker nails i mean the big balls that i used to suck for days as a child it's where you paint multiple layers of nail polish and then either file or drill down from the surface level so you can expose the layers underneath this technique has sometimes been referred to as geode nails same kind of concept where you drill down and see the layers like a rock now what isn't always clear here is that usually the nail tech is using gel nail polish to do this technique which means that they are able to paint each layer and then dry it very quickly using a uv slash gel lamp this allows them to pile on the layers because each coat needs to be completely dry before you add on the next or else you're just going to drill into a pile of mush but the average person doesn't have a bunch of different colors of gel nail polish or a special uv gel lamp or a drill kit at home but you know what the average person does have these days time so i'm gonna sit here and paint my nails with regular nail polish and wait for each coat to dry this all sounds a little too familiar put on a layer of every single polish that i stop after this one because it's my last holo taco amazing hot new trend get it now on your nails um i will not be sitting at this desk and recording the existential crisis that i experienced last time basically live on camera i already made that video it's called 100 layers of nail polish a trip to polish mountain you might have heard of it instead i recorded the lengthy nail painting process already alright so how did we get here i started off with long lasting base coat because i want the polish to stick to my nail and not peel off when i apply pressure from filing and then i got to brainstorming how many layers of nail polish do you need to make this work definitely not a hundred right right i've seen a couple of examples of people attempting this with regular nail polish including a thread on reddit that turned out really well actually but i couldn't find an in-depth tutorial on how to do this with regular nail polish guess that's why i had to make one myself obviously i have a lot of nail polish so there's so many different layering and theme options to go with here let's start with the metallic foil nail i'm using the holo taco frosted metals collection i applied just one coat made sure it was dry and then oh what's that on my other hand look at that it's a wonderful royalty blue creme which may or may not be coming back soon okay okay it's coming back soon ah what were we doing i waited at least 10 minutes between coats of the same color to make sure that every single layer was dry then i applied a nastic coat a glass of taco if you want your nails to dry quick and go then you need a nice thick glass taco i also know from doing polish mountain part 2 the clear adventure the glossy taco did dry a lot quicker than just regular nail polish so i think this will help secure the rock hard mountain to have a layer of glossy taco in between each shade with all my experience i feel like i'm qualified for this job finally my resume comes in handy after a coat of glass of taco i set my timer for a full hour before applying the next shade and then on to the next color of the frosted metals you get the method now not that anyone's gonna repeat this are they so 23 layers of nail polish and eight coats of glossy taco later i ended up with this mountainous travesty she looking like i got a feel and i should have asked for a refund let me take you through the next nail which is plain cremes started off with this green screen polish i thought for simplicity's sake i should have a straight up crumb nail just in case diving down through the layers of complex special effects nail polishes didn't really translate basically i have a problem where i just go overboard with things so this is my safeguard nail against that and wow she was looking thick when i was only halfway through i did continue my daily activities while painting my nails by the way because your girl still has things to do i did not just sit in this room for 24 hours straight on day two i woke up went straight to paint to coat a nail polish and then i went on the treadmill for a bit and then i went back to paint another coat of nail polish and then back on the treadmill and then back to add a glossy taco all the while being very careful and making sure my nails dry and by the end of this one i was wearing 16 coats of nail polish and eight glossy tacos okay next nail rainbow hollow you know i had to try i'm using all seven polishes from the hollow taco linear holo rainbow collection we actually sell all seven of the rainbow hollows together for a bundled price isn't that great you can do this with them if you want i did two coats of each linear holo i started with the blue and then came back to finishing with the blue for a total of 16 coats of nail polish and eight coats a glassy taco then i had to try a multi-chrome nail i started off with some blue ain't slick and what is what is going on here what is that a menchy hair we gotta paint it out has that ever happened to you you have to just paint the hair out good thing i'm adding 800 layers on top because no one will notice anyways in case you didn't know multi-chrome nail polish shifts colors depending on the angle of the light so i thought how cool would that be if after you drilled down to reveal the layers they each shifted in color thought it could turn out like an optical illusion i want to look into all the layers of the earth's core and then i can finally say look the tectonic plates are shifting even my grade 8 science teacher is cringing at that one so i did three coats of each multi-chrome polish and she was definitely looking like a mini polish mountain on that pointer finger with that little cliff edge to finish it off i added two coats of one coat black on top i thought that would be cool to discover the multi chromes through the black and that was a total of 20 layers of nail polish and seven glossy tacos you know i was keeping track every step of the way because it was very easy to forget how many layers i had applied and what color i was on all right last up we've got the thumbnail the most important part if you ask the youtube algorithm i also use black as the base because it helps the unicorn skins pop more when they are layered over black i used all six unicorn skins from hollow taco we now have the full rainbow in these iridescent flakies thank you by the way everyone for your support of the unicorn dream collection we are now sold out of the limited edition collector's box set and this is what layering three of them looks like though and i gotta try this for real like as a real manicure as opposed to this fake manicure so two coats of each unicorn skin look at that wow it looks so pretty wow i'm also adding two coats of flaky hollow taco because i want to and finally topping this one off with two coats of not milky white so that the nail really looks like some magic white opal that glows from within and also i guess because jawbreakers start as white on the outside right and so that was 18 coats of nail polish and nine coats of glossy taco overall i painted these over the course of two and a half days and as i sit here right now i painted the last layer yesterday so that the mini mountains got to sit overnight and i hope they are 100 dry if you're wondering how they feel they do feel a bit thick but they're not that heavy i guess that's because i've had heavier they're fun to type with okay i'm scared i'm not going to use a drill because these are my natural nails and we don't want an accident so i'm gonna try this coarse emery board nail file okay let's just do a corner don't mind that other nail polish i was doing tests on a swatch stick that was still wet so far i can see three different layers of the earth let's go deeper it does kind of hurt my nail underneath though like i can feel the pressure should have worn a mask [Music] okay i lied we are gonna use a drill it was taking too long leave a prayer for my nails down in the i comments if it'll get my eczema off i'm disgusting i never use these things because obviously i'm not not a licensed nail technician if you hadn't realized that by now okay low speed low speed ready help scalpel we're going in meredith okay my pinky is vibrating without doing anything now and we're going to move on to the crumb nail [Music] oh yeah we're getting to the next level levels levels levels [Music] whoa whoa oh my god that looks so cool it's fun you can kind of manipulate how much of each layer is showing it's a whole other art form that is so cool why is it coming out work safety hazard oh are you supposed to push it all the way in clearly i didn't take the training for this course break through the glossy taco we're making great progress just keep going look at that molten core we're doing great things for science here oh god oh god what did i start with is that my nail oh my god [Music] i'm not going to use a drill because these are my natural nails i think i'm gonna need to take a break i think this profession isn't for me by that i mean like construction work maybe don't try this at home it's dangerous okay you gotta be careful okay let's do the next nail multi-chrome or go home [Music] okay i'm gonna stop because i'm scared let's do the last nail wow who needs the discovery channel when you've got simply nailogical that is cool that is really cool look it's a rare artifact it's simply neological doing nail art okay i think i'm gonna put this drill away because as fun as it is it's easy to get carried away overall i think i like the idea behind these nails more than the end result and execution because if i'm being honest they're still very chunky they still feel very thick and maybe it's just me and my lack of skills and drilling but the grading between the surface layer and the inner bedrock you know isn't the smoothest should have had a geotechnical survey done on my nails now let's see what happens when i add a nice thick coat a glossy taco it's like painting inside a hole i think my favorite nail is actually the creme nail because it looks the most classic like a jawbreaker the rainbow hollow nail has the most potential to be done well uh just don't drill too far the opal unicorn skin nail definitely wins for the wow factor though in some ways these kind of look like a water marble without all the hard work actually wait this was a lot of hard work what am i saying fellow regular nail polish users let me know down in the comments below if you would ever try this if i could give one message of caution though safety first and mind the natural nail i'm gonna go soak my nails in acetone for the next 40 minutes now all right everybody thanks so much for watching and i'll see y'all later bye [Music] you
