Hi it's Kristy Meakin from Naio Nails.
In this video it's all about Halloween.
I am going to do a really extreme nail and it's going to be a bat wing.
[vocalizing…music in background]
Batmaaaaaannnn
I am going to use the extra-long forms.
Sculpting form on the back.
I mean the tab on the back, give it a roll.
Close the end.
Like so.
I am going to anchor this, so I may have to cut this smile line a bit.
I am going to cut that a little bit.
Let's see what that's like.
Oh yes.
Like a dream.
It fits like a glove or like a marigold like my dad would say.
So, I've already prepped the nail.
I've already removed the surface shine the cuticle work and all of that.
I am going to dehydrate.
I have got the acid free primer.
I am going to do two coats of this.
If you are doing a full set you may want to do your next finger.
Prime that, prime that and then start again at the beginning to do your second coat.
I use quite a big brush. Quite a sparkly brush as well
It's nice that brush isn't it?
We've got a video showing you how to do that.
I am going to use soft beige.
Going to go quite low into the powder just so I get quite a big bead.
I am chase it down.
There's a bit of glitter or something in there.
Tip the finger down.
Not going to worry too much about the cuticle area.
I am going to get the main bulk of the nail done first.
Then I will come down the side.
Have any of you seen the butterfly nail?
It is a very similar process to learn.
So, you are going to come down the sides, and if you look at a bat wing it's got those
sort of loops at the side.
That's what we are going to create.
You can create the loops.
You got two sections that jump down onto the form.
You are going to do that on both sides.
This first drop will be deeper and bigger from this one.
You can graduate it to a point.
Now I am going to make sure that I've got the correct thickness towards the top.
Make everything a bit more smoother.
I've now got [vocalizing] in my head,
we can do this cuticle area.
So, you can see I got a little bit of a dip here.
Let's get rid of that.
When that starts to set you will need to pinch this bit short of product over here and add
a little more over there, it's enough, it's equal.
Okay pinch this.
Because we are going to add more product here.
And that's going to take a while to set. and everything else will be set.
Just pinch this in, and put the pinch tool on.
I am going to pinch towards the end and then I am going to add this extra bit I want to
put around it.
This needs a bit here.
Once it is completely set, you are going to remove the form and you are going to remove
it this way by pulling it down towards yourself.
[electric file in background] that's my electric file.
I am going to thin it a little bit.
So, I aiming to get it quite smooth.
And take off any thickness.
I'm looking down the barrel of the nail as well as the sides.
I am going to use the e-file to go in and create that curve to make it sharper.
I am going to create the same curves on each side.
Once you have done one side you can use that as a guide.
So, when I look at that I can see that we just need to come a little bit more here.
Alright I am going to change this bit.
We are going to use a flattened off cone bit.
So, we can get a little bit tighter to the finger.
A little bit more gentle.
A little bit more controlled.
Now we got to file and make sure it's nice and smooth.
So, over the top we want it to look like it's just a stiletto nail really.
It's all about that side view, the side view is going to make it amazing.
You do need support the nail while you are filing it, because it attached to a living
person and they will feel pain if you don't support it.
That right Dina?
I am going to buff this, make it smooth.
You want to be careful when you are buffing that you don't catch these edges.
Now I need some pure acetone.
I going to use mega gloss, a nice generous top coat, because you want it all smooth.
Starting at the tip first.
It's easier to do this first.
I can start at the cuticle and pull down.
Put that into the lamp for me.
Now, I going to use some mega gloss take a long brush.
First of all, I going to do a line from that side, this is hard, this is the hardest bit.
Because it has to be quite clean.
Straight down.
Put it under the lamp.
Then we are going to go from this point here down to the tip, you will see when I come
back to do the other side.
You have to flash cure between each layer.
This one we go from here to here, up to there.
This is going to create the detail of the webbing of the wing.
Put that in.
Right what I am going to do with the edges is I am going to give them a lot of frame.
I am going to put a long along these edges.
Then we are
going to give this a little more detail.
Basically, make this look like it is wrinkling and folding a little bit.
So, you can come up and do a little sweep.
They are like Veins going through
Yeah.
So, there is a blood supply.
You are like the expert of bats.
Right, what I am going to do now is go over some of the parts that I have done already
just to make them a little bit more raised.
Now, to make this more bat-like we need to make it black.
So, what we are going to do is use the metallic black.
I love this it's super [undecipherable 00:15:05].
Just do one side at a time.
I am going to drag any excess, it is really pigmented, so don't think you got to layer
it off or anything, you really haven't.
So, one coat of that is plenty and you can now start to see the design of the bat wing
coming through.
We need that to dry.
I am going to pop it into the lamp.
It will air dry.
I encourage you to let it dry.
We pop it into the lamp.
The heat from the lamp will make this strong.
And as it dries it will show up the design even more.
Now you're going to make sure it is all dry.
And then we are going to use the Urban Graffiti top coat.
I am going to top coat the length first.
Make sure that you cap the edge.
It will make it last longer.
Make sure you take off any excess as well.
Now, we are going to add some bling.
Because it wouldn't be a Kristy Meakin nail without a bit of bling.
So, I am going do this with a bit of acrylic, so clear acrylic.
Just there
Place that exactly where you want it, you don't have to use this kind of stone.
I am just using this kind of stone because I love it.
With mega gloss.
I am going to adhere the tiny, tiny stones and do a little slither or so.
So, I've put all the stones on now.
What I am going to do is finish with some Freesia Cuticle Oil.
I'm not being funny but that's a bit of Fabulous nail.
I wonder if she can fly now?
You'd need another one on the other hand.
Yeah, just flying with one wing
