I agree with the other commenters... *Your channel is criminally under appreciated in the youtube nail community* 😱❤️ _edit:I was actually playing with this moldy concept (heh heh) the other day-but I reinforced the back of the decal with clear elmers/pvc glue... (because I don’t own any regular clear nail polish..weird, I know😆)-and it actually worked quite well! But now I want to try it with your topcoat method too!

[@tenlittlecanvases]

Ah, thank you for the kind remarks...I'm happy to share!

[@opalfruitcake]

You don't get enough recognition, you are fabulous and a genius!

[@tenlittlecanvases]

Thank you Sherry! I try to pass on what I learned and my experiences. Glad to share!

[@tenlittlecanvases]

You're welcome!

[@emsk260]

These are absolutely amazing! I’ve seen Japanese nail techs use “sand” like gel and I’m so happy to finally see a US tech use it. But on top of that the Sand gel was used with fascinating mold technique! I am blown away! This better become a trend !

[@tenlittlecanvases]

Yeah, I've been seeing the 'sand' polishes for a while too. It would be so cool to see stone nails catch fire!

[@MissJillian0309]

Yay!! I get so excited when I see you uploaded a video! I wish it was more often 😉😊😅 pretty please

[@nanfredman1991]

[@shellbellexx3]

Awesome !! 🤩I never knew these silicone molds existed. You always show us the coolest tools and mediums 🥰👏🏻👏🏻

[@tenlittlecanvases]

I just wish there were more scroll designs...maybe if they become more popular, they'll make different ones.

[@IndiOshun]

[@noonibeauty]

[@gogoasainfuriata762]

Love love looooooove your nails 😍

[@lunarlightdesign3023]

BRILLIANT as always. So excited seeing a new video. Thank you for sharing your hard earned knowledge...

[@tenlittlecanvases]

So nice of you, thank you!

[@josephinea.4708]

Thanks for showing us the products and application. I will order and try how it would work for natural nail application instead of a press-on.

[@tenlittlecanvases]

For doing on you own nails try trimming the decal to the size of your nail before following the rest of the steps. It's a little more challenging but totally doable.

[@jwiki1]

This is so awesome! I love your creativity. Thank you for the video! 🤙🏼🌺💕

[@tenlittlecanvases]

You are so welcome!

[@joedolceland]

[@tenlittlecanvases]

You're welcome, very happy to share!

[@jwon5614]

Can these designs be done on regular nails? This seems to be for press one. The work is beautiful 💕💅🏻🤗

[@simplysaida]

She mentions it's harder on actual nails but gives tips like trimming ahead of time.

[@Guylene325]

Ok, did you try or have any luck using Chrome Powder? I had a total fail with that method. Great video! Thanks

[@tenlittlecanvases]

No, not yet...still have to think on it some more.

[@gunsandroses243]

Thank you for sharing

[@tenlittlecanvases]

You are so welcome!

[@videokidz007]

Hello there - always love your videos! I've learned so much. I was wondering if perhpas a sticky foil gel would get the decal to stay. Or, have you already tried that?

[@tenlittlecanvases]

Do you mean applying onto the cured foil gel? I tried it once and it did not completely stick, I still needed to wrap in plastic to get all of the decal to conform on the nail. I used the matte as it was the look I was going for with the stone finish.

[@videokidz007]

​@@tenlittlecanvases Yes that is what I meant.. Iappreciate you letting me know. I just placed an order for these & I am excited for them to arrive. Thank you!!

[@ElisabeteDaSilva1]

Would you be able to show how u would do this on a client? Specifically, the plastic wrap wrapping part on a finger..?

[@tenlittlecanvases]

I'm not a pro and don't work on other people. To do on a client's nail I would suggest trimming the decal to the shape of the clients nail first then follow the rest of the steps. If you have a gooseneck LED curing lamp (like the Gelish Touch light) you can hold the wrap with both hands while curing. If you have an LED curing flashlight you can hold the wrap while your clients holds the flashlight for curing.

[@CrazyChickkarp22]

Wow wow wow!!!!! Mind blown!.... Subscribe..👌👏

[@Sassynbadassy]

Is there a reason for the clear nail polish vs using a gel base coat or something similar?

[@tenlittlecanvases]

I tried several of my gel tops and they made the decal a little too stiff ...the regular polish allowed for a more pliable decal, the better to conform to the curvature of the nail.

[@ChloeTheNailTechsCoachReed]

On a client you can press it doesn't with a clear stamper with a gel lamp on the back

[@tenlittlecanvases]

Great idea! Thanks!

[@TheCupofthea]

Hi ! For the mold did you took the 4 on the Amazon page ? I want the mold you took for the video.

[@tenlittlecanvases]

The link I provide is for the set of 4 molds...the one I used is the bottom right in the pic on Amazon...there are actually 8 designs on that one mold. So if you buy the set you will get the image I use.

[@jessicarobertsonsnailfanta8531]

This is super cool but i thought it was suppose to be used with the thick 3D gel

[@tenlittlecanvases]

Yeah, I did not use them as they advertise...you can certainly use the paste-like 3D gel but as you can see these work great using other methods.

[@jessicarobertsonsnailfanta8531]

Yeah i really love your method, thanks

[@evelynortiz50]

Hi didn’t find that espesific stamping mold where can I get it

[@tenlittlecanvases]

Link to the molds are in the info section.

[@vieldahkgatlhane3684]

❤❤❤❤

[@tenlittlecanvases]

Thanks!

[@edithelbourn7385]

Love the look! To many steeps for me, I’ll stick to stamping.

[@bellaarts7923]

😍😍😍

[@evelyncardiet6349]

Hi morning I am interested in that products.

[@sweeterthanpoison]

This looks really pretty but isn’t doable on actual fingers like that.

[@tenlittlecanvases]

It really is, I would just trim the design to fit around your own nail and holding plastic wrap with one hand to cure is not difficult. Totally doable.

[@simplysaida]

Another comment suggested using a clear stamper to apply pressure while under a lamp. I think I'll try it that way if/when I order these molds.
