Rainbow Scratch-Off Nails (stress-relieving nail art search)

imagine just being able to scratch off just the top layer of your nail and reveal beautiful colors underneath without damaging your natural nails it could be beautiful and stress relieving is it possible we'll find out today on this episode of simply illogical does nail art [Music] well hello everyone it's me Christine again and I don't know about you but I've been feeling a little stressed out lately so today for a change we're gonna check out some of the most relaxing distressing nail art acts that the Internet has to offer because it's certainly not on this channel alright internet stress relieving relaxing manicure me home a manicure can be a great stress reliever it's too bad you can't get one at a salon right now how does a manic oh no I don't want your special offers how does a manicure relieve my stress when you go into the spa facility you are able to sit down you can sit down you can take your mind off of everything and focus on feeling good get a manicure today okay maybe I will give myself a manicure just like I already do every week I relieve stress every week that must be why I'm just so chill all the time hmm aside from these nail massages that you might get at a nail salon or the relaxation you might feel if you yourself are painting your nails and just like the simple strokes of the Polish hitting the nail I wonder if certain colors maybe are more relaxing than others if the color we choose on our nails is supposed to reflect like our level of relaxation then that explains why I'm always crazy I do believe that painting your own nails can relieve some stress assuming the manicure doesn't take that long and you're not you know going to polish mountain or anything just simply painting your nails can be good for the soul Hey look according to a psychotherapist painting your nails can help to alleviate stress boost your mood and give you confidence sitting down to paint your nails is a simple gesture that tells you I'm worth it okay well I don't need a psychotherapist to tell me why I like painting my nails I just do but are there any nail hacks or nail art techniques that are particularly distressing ASMR doing your nails relaxing manicure exactly okay I know that ASMR is a huge honor on YouTube and a lot of people really like it I just personally can't get into it I don't know what it is it kind of freaks me out it makes the hair on my arms stand right up and I just want to run away Gibby seems like a really nice person I just don't find ASMR relaxing at all glossy top coat so we're gonna have to move on and see what else is on the Internet nail distressing tack the last time I clicked on a trim trim video I saw a grown woman put her entire body into her pants and walk around pretending to be a dinosaur don't step on my nest but nine weird nail hacks anti-stress nail art I need to know you see what they do I can't help but click it this young woman he doesn't know what she wants she has the ton of problems can relate a very exciting oh my god my ami Watts has been taken hostage in true true we hope our best knit lady will help do you think trim trim is practicing social distancing right okay this video is from a while ago I wonder if trim trim is still making videos in quarantine or did they just film all this content years ago and they're slowly releasing it it's like there's nothing topical but what they do maybe this was filmed seven years ago and they're all dead now we'll never know and attach the caps to the nails with multi-purpose glue why does trim trim have so many empty drug capsules actually don't answer that she ruined my nails this is a childish toy exactly this doesn't relieve stress at all so cut a rubber ball cut a strip with little tips out of the balding up children's toys so relaxing especially when you do it in front of their faces a real artist is always covered in paint bye bye manicure yeah that does suck but while I was ripping paint off my nail I came up with a new kind of nail or acrylic paint hack apply colorful nail polish and random patterns spread them over with a thin brush sure rub a candle into the nail when the Polish is dried dilute a graphite shade of gouache paint with some liquid soap what the heck is going to all the nails with a knot she was gonna use acrylic paint let it dry I have miniature scratch art on my nails but no way I don't see he's matching hold on go back watch that again [Music] she's just dusting the paint brush over the nail too bad I can't put them into a frame and display them in a museum she's winking at me she knows she cheated or something went wrong all right thank you trim trim you know most of those don't really seem like they're gonna relieve my stress however the scratch off nail art though is promising think about it it could be really satisfying for people who like to pick up their nails and instead of picking out your cuticles what you shouldn't do imagine just being able to scratch off just the top layer of your nail and reveal beautiful colors underneath so I've actually done or shall I say attempted scratch off nail art before back in 2017 but I never ended up making a real video on it it ended up in my nail fails video because I couldn't get it to work the way I wanted so I'll link that nail fail video down below if you want to see me it bears myself but I've taken what I've learned from that fail and I'm gonna try it again today not using trim trim this technique because like honestly it didn't even really turn out that good and I don't have access to gouache paint whatever that is I'm gonna use acrylic paint because in my experience if you recall from 2014-2015 simply illogical videos I used to do this toothpick trick where I'd use acrylic paint to draw fine details on my nails and then after the acrylic paint was dry you could easily scratch it off the surface of the nail so long as whatever you had underneath was sealed and dried with the mastic coated glass and tako so in theory you should be able to do scratch off nail art by applying a layer of acrylic paint overtop of nail polish that has already been fully dried and coated with a nice thick coat of glossy top so I did these colorful nails last night and they've been dry for a full 24 hours simply voiceover where are you alright today we're working on my other hand because the other one is busy don't ask questions okay please don't be shocked by my short less well-kept nails on my bad hand she's got eczema she's seen and done things and life that she regrets that's why we call her my other hand this is what we're going for a random hodgepodge of rainbow colors so no matter where you scratch it's like a surprise which color you get I'm starting off with hollow tacos long lasting base coat because I want the base to stick so I don't scratch it off and oh my god is that a Minji hair yes yes it is now we gonna add a fresh coat of not milky white as the base underneath the rainbow colors and because we're doing some sponging and I don't feel like cleaning the house today we're gonna slap on some protective feel liquid latex on my skin so I can easily peel off the mess let that dry for a few minutes once it's dry it turns into a darker pink shade and instead of a gradient I'm doing a random blended smoosh of colors here and we're gonna dab dab dab to make the other hand fab the point is for it to be a little messy and unpredictable so I'm not too concerned with it being completely perfectly blended remember the entire rainbow base isn't gonna be shown anyways and now we're gonna peel it off and because I can't help myself we're gonna add some flaky hollow taco because I would like a hollow surprise and the most important step you got to seal it all in with the mastic coat of glassy taco to ensure that it protects your nail polish design underneath it cures and seals and dries it completely so that when we go to scratch the taco will essentially be the scratch resistant layer of protection so we don't dig up the design underneath so we've got my yogurt lid my black acrylic paint because we're gonna go for that classic black scratch off and now all I got to do is coat the entire rainbow with the black acrylic paint is an underestimated tool for nail art and you don't have to be an expert to paint with acrylic paint in fact quite the opposite I find it really paint really easy to work with if you want to draw a couple lines and make some designs it's also easy to correct mistakes because it's quite thin in formula and you can water it down I've used a lot of acrylic paint in my nail art when I was drawing some fine details funny enough it is harder to draw nail art details with nail polish than it is with acrylic paint I find that to be the case anyways oh it's so black it's like one go black we got some competition generally speaking though I wouldn't paint your entire nails with just acrylic paint because it is still thin formula and it's not gonna do very much to help protect your nails unlike nail polish once you've added up all the layers of base coat polish and topcoat is quite thick so it kind of acts as like a splint on your nail and prevent breaking the acrylic paint wouldn't really do that because it's just too thin this is so satisfying my stress is already floating away and I haven't even scratched the surface yet I need to get out but I can't go out alright that looks pretty good there's a couple polish spots so I'm just gonna do a second coat of the black okay now you want to let the acrylic paint dry to the point that you don't see any shiny or glossy nosov it I think the trick is to not let the acrylic paint dry too long either you want it to be dry but not so dry that it's impossible to scratch up you know okay are we ready I'm nervous I'm wet I'm stressed but I'm about to be distressed [Music] oh my god it's working trying to position my nails properly for the camera so you can see isn't the most ideal angle for me though cuz I'm like trying to look at my nail like this but oh this is so what design do we do oh my god this is so excited [Music] look look at the peace sign peace on earth feel like it's just like an adult coloring book except I'm scratching away the darkness in my life to reveal a beautiful pattern underneath that is just so unpredictable it's like I don't know what I'm gonna get I just have to scratch and find out it's kind of like life you know no would be funny if you forget what you painted your nails with and then you scratch it off and it's like a really fun surprise or maybe a not so fun surprise it depends what you forgot you did the other day Wow [Music] BAM look look I am stress-free it's amazing oh so you don't even need tea no no I need to over leave this trip oh wait hold on oh my bag you so tight because I've been scratching off my nails from just like 30 seconds so far but you've been what scratching off my nails okay what should I draw it kind of looks like you're like a hangman he's gonna die what I would offer you a chance to try it but I feel like you screwed up its crunch too much I get mad at you off the shoes it's like a lottery ticket yeah it's like a lottery ticket but instead of winning money when relaxation okay you're a funder I will I'll be down here for hours just scratching the night away okay well that's so cool you see kids if you fail at something it's okay just try again three years later the Sun rising oh no it's off center because I'm coming at it from a weird angle damn it okay I'm sorry but you're not gonna get the front row tickets anymore cuz I gotta concentrate cue the time-lapse of simply relaxation Mahler [Music] [Music] [Music] this actually turned out much better than I expected however my baseline was one of my old fail videos and a Truman video so one thing I did notice though as I was going from nail to nail and more time passed as the black acrylic paint was drying it became increasingly harder to easily scratch off the paint in a nice clean line so I would recommend if you want to do this at home to paint each nail just one at a time so that way you can take your time scratching each nail for me you can see by the time I got to the third and the fourth now the lines aren't as clean and I was having too much trouble trying to scratch with the wooden toothpick but I ended up switching to a metal cuticle pusher tool and it's still it doesn't look as good the trick obviously with this nail art if you actually want to wear it and have it look cool is to not scratch the entire black acrylic part off it's to create a design that looks kind of cool so this is crazy to say but I think I've achieved that I've achieved nail art status and relaxation in the same day what a wonderful day to subscribe to my channel if you're doing this for nail art purposes once you're happy with the design I would recommend adding an ass thick coat of glossy taco just so you could seal it all in so the design stays put or if you're not really going for any particular design any more or less just want to pick at your nails all day don't add anything after the acrylic paint interests you know have a good scratchy old time this was ultimately really fun and cool to do and satisfied two parts of me the stressed out part and also like the part that wants really cool nails isn't as cool look look look at it but don't scratch it cuz it's a work of art you know I think personally for me the best way to cope with stress is to be productive but that doesn't mean doing something you don't want to do obviously you got to pick a project or something that you enjoy maybe it's doing nail art maybe it's reading a book maybe it's reorganizing your 2000 bottles of nail polish into rainbow art or whatever it is that makes you feel good alright everybody thanks so much for scratching and I'll see y'all later [Music]
