Trying Stencils for EASY Nail Art + Nails By Dev Haul

[@courtneybartlett97]

Float your top coat to help with the bumpiness of the edges! Also when I do stickers I will top coat them and then cure for only like 10 seconds and then take a silicon tool and rub over the sticker. It’s helps to push the little bit of uncured gel under the edges of the sticker and then finish curing. Then do a second layer of top coat and it works perfectly! So maybe a couple of options to try

[@ravenskye4893]

I do a matte top coat first then a thick type top coat for stickers, I think doing 2 layers is the way to go in either case

[@ElizabethJackson-bd3jz]

What does that mean float your top coat?

[@Heljhammack]

@@ElizabethJackson-bd3jz floating is where you put a thin uncured layer of topcoat and then do a thicker layer on top that you “float” over. It’s a technique often used for rubber bases. 😊

I looove how you didn't put any song over the nail prep and everything!! so satisfying to hear it :D

[@pamluxford5854]

I share your fear of spooky scarys. They hate peppermint. So soaking balls of cotton in the essential oil and hiding near access points is a great help. Love your work so much! ❤

[@livhuji733]

Thanks for ze tip😅😅

[@jessferatu671]

It works, but is toxic to cats & dogs. Just a heads up! :)

[@miau.marina]

Wow!! The things you can find on a nail tutorial 😅 I hate those creepy-crawly too, so I'm going to take this advice, thank you!

[@amberisrad]

yes but be wary of essential oils around pets, it can harm them

[@amberford300]

I think it would be fun to use those stencils and also Emily has gotten so good especially with acrylic

[@EmilySusanah]

Thank you 🥺

[@jenniferjones2579]

We're do I find these sheets of art?

[@andressaoliveira7755]

I just love how I’m always painting my nails in the moment you post or just finished painting them

[@SlumCut6661]

Same!! Watching Emily’s videos helps me come out of my depression funks and do my nails!! 🩷🩷🩷 always have her in the background and she’s taught me more than any KZbinr over the years ✨🩷🩷

[@shaunacorrigan9372]

You could try using plastic wrap to hold the decals flat while curing. That's what I do when trying to get stickers or decals or whatever to lay flat, just take a strip of plastic wrap and stretch it over the nail to hold everything down, then cure. The gooseneck lamp really helps, too! Edit: A clear jelly stamper works really well, too!

[@Alishaxbabex]

So here's my top tips for making your own decals like this! Use a matte top coat for the decal itself, it's more flexible and thinner than base or top coats Use foil gel to stick them on your nails, apply the foil gel and cure for 60 seconds Use a silicone tool to press the decal onto the foil gel 💕

[@azyadethvelez]

Or use plastic like Saran Wrap for “wrap” the decal around the nail and cure it! (Sorry for my poor english!)

[@mooncrafternailsandmore7907]

I made a video about doing these stickers with regular nail enamel years ago,. I have since done them with gel and I have a few tips for you. First before you do anything else, use a regular air dry enamel top coat and paint on a thin coat before you do any painting on top with gel. Why? Because that stuff peels up so much easier than a gel. After all isn't that why we all prefer gels over normal nail enamel? Then instead of using a gel top coat to apply it to the nail use a foil glue, whether that be a gel or a regular air dry. Obviously, it's sticky and will hold it down better. And before you try to stick it to the nail roll the sticker over a brush handle a couple of times to get the shape of the nail, even if it's far curlier than your nail it will lay down better. You can always use a little plastic wrap or zip lock bag stretched over the nail to hold it in place while curing it if you don't have foil adhesive. I've also used builder gel. I apply just a little then wipe the majority away. It leaves a sticky layer on the nail. If you have any areas that still did not lay flat you can always apply a coat of Builder gel on top before top coating.

[@roseaye8198]

I like your lisp because someone pointed out that I had one too, and I never noticed and I think it’s so cute now lol yay us

[@tumeeraparsard310]

Always get super happy when I see an upload from you!!

[@sierram9573]

The little ghost is so cute!!

[@vitoriamarconcin9121]

her hair gets more stunning each video 😩

[@aprilshorty4094]

Hey Emily you're looking absolutely beautiful as always and I have never seen these templates before so tfs and I hope that you and everyone watching has a wonderful day 😊❤

[@EmilySusanah]

Thank you lovely!! 💗

[@Pungus_forever]

May I just say *chefs kiss* to your ASMR nail application ❤

[@tattoedpassport]

Love seeing you laugh Emily! Haven’t heard a laugh in a while ❤

[@saygypsy]

I've used regular nail polish before and it came out much thinner. i also put a clear topcoat on and then used a nail brush in acetone to help melt the edges down

[@TotallyKayla]

Your hair is just absolutely everything in this video! It looks so stunning 😍 you're so beautiful Emily 💖

[@Shelby-lv4jo]

oh i LOVED the music-free nail prep section

[@fattakan]

The face looks so good with the glow in the dark 😍

[@roseaye8198]

I’m so happy for you I like this channel ❤

[@aicirtkciub9167]

Wow that paint sheet is super cool. I would have never thought of doing this. The wolf is calling to me for some reason. I really like that one.

[@melissageorge2915]

Nailz by dev Heavenly French set would give you an amazing range of sheer pinks!!!! ❤❤❤❤

[@soniac.9162]

Love your videos . I started doing polygel over a year ago because of you . On a side note your look stunning, love your hair colour ❤

[@jellydae]

i loveee the little asmr section at 11:00 - 12.07 !! the result is really cute too, made me excited to do my nails 😍

[@Hortonscakes]

I'm all in on glow in the dark rn! Aaaaaaahhhhhh lovin this! 💚💚💚

[@Sharonsmakeupjourney]

the stencils were really good makes life easier i love watching your content x

[@adriennemceuen5603]

Whenever I need to find the motivation to do my nails, I watch your videos. Your nail videos are the only ones I can actually get into and pay attention to. ❤

[@VanillaFace.]

I feel like the brand definitely got hit with a cease and desist letter which is why they took everything down. There are Nightmare before Christmas characters on that mat and Disney is extremely protective of their intellectual property.

[@GetPressedNailsByC]

Hi Emily! Not sure if anyone recommended it yet, but Mod Podge works wonderfully as the base for these stickers. I think I saw Dash Nails use it, but it dries clear and super flexible. I also just tried Makartt's 3d no wipe sculpture gel, and it's also really flexible when cured in thin layers, so I image it could be perfect for this technique. As for the spooky scaries, I totally get you. Mine are slugs, and I was going to enter Dev's nightmare contest, but even thinking of sculpting the fake slugs gives me actual shivers haha

[@ursopunk]

you are my comfort youtuber 🖤 I always love watching your videos!

[@ripple_TV]

That's wonderful nail art. The ghost that looked like something out of Mario was especially cute. We are rooting for you from Japan.

[@happy_123_sophia]

Emily I'm sure you could have drawn them all yourself freehand... You never give yourself the credit you are owed as you are a very talented nail artist and one of the best out there and you always come up with such creative ideas... ❤👍🏻

[@ainteenysnails4110]

You should get a flash cure light with a clear stamper attached to it. Works great.

[@Kgmoana9903]

I so needed your video today, you always make my days so much better thank you Emily ❤️

[@heidikuusisto3602]

Yay new video!!! Perfect timing as in I am going to sleep soon so I can watch this as a bedtime story! 🎉🎉

[@_.isabellalyn._9274]

i really live how this video was edited!! it’s so different from your other ones and i love it

[@KayBaby-fo6hy]

Your hair is actual perfection.

[@marionhenderson9702]

I found that using a peel off base coat as the base for this technique makes them super flexible and they lay down perfectly when you apply them to the nail! I use the Daily Charme peel off base

[@EmilySusanah]

I cannot believe I did not think of that 😵‍💫 thank you!

[@jleaclark]

Love the asmr moment! And those stencils are a game changer for us that can’t draw! ❤

[@ginnyvirginiabuchkoski54]

Emily, please would you share with me what you use to glue on your nails? And even more importantly what you use to just pop them off like you do? What's left of my natural nails would appreciate any help you can give me!! I don't sleep well so I turn you on the tv. It's so comforting to have a friend sit with me when I can't sleep bc of pain!! You are Amazing! Never Forget How Much You Are Loved! 💜 💜

[@aureamber2789]

I was literally just checking your channel for a new video hehe

[@nailzbydev]

Loved watching this!!!❤❤❤

[@heidikuusisto3602]

Oh how I loved the nails!! ☺️☺️☺️ You are so talented!!!

[@sarahbullock7973]

Those are so cute! Love them!

[@chantellemaddock2234]

My favourite time of the day I love your videos ❤

[@laessigzone]

Soooo cute! You could warp the stencil sheet a little so it cures with a slight curve so they lay better on your nail (:

[@hollycosmic]

Yaaaay a halloween video!! I am loving the little asmr parts!! Hope you are doing good💖

[@Angelique_V]

These are absolutely amazing !!!!

[@Gucciblackberry]

16:44 for “not doing acrylic in a while” YOU DID SO GOOD GIRL OMG! Love theseee so far! And I feel you on crooked nails, worst thing is deciding to start fresh or not 😂❤

[@Tastykake83]

Those nails you made your friend for the wedding is soooooo beautiful!! Omg Emily. You're such a sweet friend ❤

[@ptszpwr783]

These are freaking adorable!!!

[@skylarmetz1225]

Absolutely love your hair color!! So beautiful 😍 ❤

[@munozfam5198]

Emily you look soo gorgeous in this video!! I'm OBSESSED with your hair!! I wish I could do my hair like that! Loveeee youuu

[@jaimeb400]

your makeup looks gorgeous!!

[@ellaa247]

my dog and i love watching your videos

[@cristinevenice1308]

currently binge watching your videos to get an idea of what i should do with my nails!!🫶

[@kristinebaker5477]

They came out super cute 💙🥰💅🏻

[@corbyhoelzle1774]

Turned out so cute❤❤❤❤❤

[@Tastykake83]

I am so happy to see you doing an acrylic set ❤❤❤ I have been loving all your videos but I do miss acrylic sometimes ❤❤

[@karinasalazar6919]

You can also try using a clear stamper to hold down the sticker and cure... There are clear stampers attached to a uv flashlight. So you can try that?

[@PositiveVibesChangeLives]

LOOOOOOOVE your hair like that. Color and style 🤌❤️

[@sikejae]

I adore this neutral hair and makeup on you queen. You look so gorgeous

[@fozzeeroo]

I love the idea of stencils! Now I’ve gotta go look for some. This set is awesome as always.

[@OladBeauty]

These nail design ideas for Halloween are great 🥘 Thank you for sharing and inspiring me 🤩🤩

[@alesha_leigh]

emily you inspired me to start doing my own nails!!!! you’re amazing. 🖤🖤🖤 what’s a good drill to start with!? i did my first set with no drill but i’d like to get a good first one that’s inexpensive 🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤

[@Kilikasnails]

❤❤❤ Thank you for another amazing video! I was actually watching your videos from 6 years ago when you uploaded 😊

[@EmilySusanah]

Such a long time! Thank you 💗

[@Sarrianna1001]

A great trick I've used is to use a clear stamper to smoosh them down flat while you cure!

[@ExoticasEmpire]

Very cute design "Emily" and thank you for sharing these templates luv and also thanks for sharing and showing much love always 💅💕💕💕

[@lovefelixrichter]

i will probably never get my nails done but at this point i might know more about nails than my loved ones that always get their nails done. ANYWAYS… always love watching your videos. so therapeutic. ❤️

[@alikc25]

Great haul and template on nail.

[@Persiaminx01]

Those turned out awesome!

[@realitea2491]

Gorgeous set, per usual 😍 When I need to cure stuff that is not curved or takes the shape of the nail, I use one of those little flash-cure lamps, with a jelly stamper attacked. The stamper forces the thingies to curve.

[@NailsxFifs]

so glad to be here early!! Love your videos and i can’t wait to see what you do today! 🩷

[@NailsxFifs]

also, YOUR HAIR!! Gorgeous and different from your regular colours but i love it!

[@MizzRivera86]

How cool!! The stencils..are awesome♡

[@PriyaKsNails]

Love your nails 🥰✨ I absolutely hate those spooky scarys too 😭😭 Thank you for sharing xx

[@saeeda2.092]

Emily you look stunning your absolutely gorgeous and your also my inspiration and because of you I’m learning how to do nails ❤️❤️

[@missamylynne86]

I made an amazing Contraption with a LED light flashlight and I put a rubber Stamper on the end of it and then you just push it down and cure it and it lays completely flat it's amazing for flowers and decals, and something metal decals. I'm pretty sure they sell lamps like that now.

[@melissageorge2915]

Or if you make your own you could change the color to light blue or something else so you can see the you outlined in black!❤❤❤ Amazing job as always ❤❤❤

[@patrickisqueiro4097]

Thanks for the ASMR btw I love It

[@rachelroscoe2821]

try the clear jelly stamper hack. cure while pushing down with a clear jelly stamper and it’ll make decals or glitter lay flat

[@Vikki089]

Just love watching your videos! It's so calming ✨🙏🏼 thank you for sharing and just being awesome 🌟 🙌🏼 Sending all my love and support from Norway 🇳🇴 ❤

[@dominika9695]

I loved the ASMR section ❤

[@buni9822]

Love this set👻🎃

[@GLITTERSPARKLEUKsouthampton73]

Hey lovely I've finally finished watching your whole channel from beginning to now lol , by the way keep your hard work up and I think that you and hubby are both amazing 😂

[@binaryjupiter]

Have you used Kupa’s odorless monomer? I really like it, and the smell is very minimal at most

[@Somashi481]

It was a base coat gel polish and honestly I found it easier to do that way because it lifts my whole image up in one. When I wasn’t putting base I had lots of patches and it wasn’t lifting easy

[@raewest7843]

Amazing!! Thank you for sharing this 🎉

[@mommydearest1]

once again your hair is beautiful 😩💙

[@ElizabethJackson-bd3jz]

Hearing your file and drill is the opposite of asmr for me js. Otherwise absolutely love your videos, you have helped my nail art hobby so much!

[@ElizabethJackson-bd3jz]

And without saying the s word, I really like when you put them on your nails and I put some on my nails too. Especially I really liked your recent purple set with the webs French tips

[@sierram9573]

The finger with prints is amazing 😂I never even could have imagined that

[@Nonnitot]

Have you tried the method of getting glitter smooth on the nail by using plastic wrap? Maybe that would work on these decals too.

[@CherryBerry48]

oh believe me, if one of my nails are crooked, i will saw it off and start new, you not alone, i love your nails super awesome

[@Rose_from_UK]

They look amazing!!,!

[@Larissadaawn]

Your hair !!!! 😍😍😍🔥

[@casandrapatton940]

Love this set and you❤

[@jcooper6504]

I love your necklace❤ great vid

[@S.Nicole]

I love love loved this set 🎃👻🔪🩸

[@christivbosch565]

Would those lay flat to the nail with a silicone stamper or plastic wrap technique? Very cute set. Love the Halloween vibe with the classic glitter. I gotta get some of those stencils! How cool!

[@jenniferfuller2254]

Figured I'd jump on here and tell you that both techniques absolutely work! The plastic wrap worked so much better for me, but either way the answer is yes!

[@Firesignnaildesign]

I get so excited whenever I see you’ve posted a video- and girl, that hair color, and whatever you’re doing with your makeup… slay! ❤ (and girl same with the arachnophobia over here…disproportionally huge fear of the spooky scaries)
