If I had a nickel for every time Emily used hair in a nail, I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice

[@dchan4836]

What a weird comment just as weird as hair in nails 😆

[@carinagoldstein9085]

Are you referencing Phineas and Ferb lollll

[@airyannathomas5770]

Omg this comment wins

[@dianarios6837]

Wasn’t it when she was encapsulating things inside her nails and her followers requested random things and one of the things was dog hair lol.. that was a few years ago 😂

[@victoriasewell7630]

This comment wins 😂

[@kuntucky]

the ‘like’ counter had me crying laughing but extremely relatable. i need one of those counters irl

[@emmawillis3947]

“I’m feeling…slightly unhinged today so I’m gonna save this and reincorporate it” I love her 😂😂

[@L.oh.ph.]

My mom finally let me get press on! She used to say it was inappropriate for a boy to use ‘em but now she’s ok with it😎

[@christeencato]

Ayyyye congrats

[@EmilySusanah]

Progress!! 💗 happy for you!

[@shannonhadley1135]

🎉

[@Law-_]

let's goo I'm sur it will look fire on u !!!

[@jamiecampbell486]

❤❤❤

[@brrrly77]

Hi Emily! Love your videos! I feel like it would be really cool to do a “shopping in my stash” video where you use up things you haven’t touched in a while or have never barely used that you already have and incorporate it in a cool design.

[@heidikuusisto3602]

Great idea! Really hope that Emily does this!!!

[@shaunacorrigan9372]

Can I just say, I'm loving the purple and black hair!! It's giving major Halloween, witchy vibes, especially with this makeup look and it just looks SO GOOD!💜🖤💜

[@merioceann]

yess, for me it gives monster high vibes especially Clawdeen

[@2389allyd]

​@@merioceann😮

[@sleeepy7]

me too! it fits her so well very pretty

[@halfwen4575]

Purple is so flattering for everyone imo, there's always a shade that will work

[@crackerjackif1466]

In the 80s and 90s, when nail techs were only found in hair salons, acrylic brushes were the the size of eye shadow brushes and a full set appointment was 2 to 2.5 hours.

[@Marta_Maeldeis]

With the neon smoke - dont go over the same areas with the alcohol ink, just one smooth movement - don't go over the same areas with the ink 🖤

[@blaah9999]

Would alcohol inks work similarly over like a white stripe?

[@ThatBetchEllie]

Oh interesting good to know so just 1 smooth motion and then fight the urge to keep going lol

[@wateryoupaintingmichelle4122]

That's what I was thinking 🤔 still cool!!

[@Chronically.sarahdayton]

Yeah, the original creator said to go in fluid motions. So, I think going over the same area again and again, made it so the pigments couldn't stick properly?? I think that's it, anyway.

[@phenomenalwoman6111]

Yea, it kept getting cakey from all the thick layering.

[@M3gacvnt]

“I’m feeling slightly unhinged today..” Me: I *LOVE* that for you.

[@CherryBerry48]

everyone is entitled to come unhinged and go off the deep end, it refreshes the soul

[@alyssak4356]

hear me out, a full hand of the aquarium nails exactly like you did in this video and the smoke nail but only red pigment!! that would be STUNNING

[@Its.Jessica.]

yay so excited for this. I don’t have TikTok, so I really only see viral nail designs when you or long hair pretty nails re-create them. PS love all your Instagram posts about Mabel, she’s so cute.

[@EmilySusanah]

Thank you 🥰🫶🏻

[@lyricdemers8203]

Also also (sorry for all the comments) that aquarium nail might be the best one you've done yet in terms of execution, it looks lovely and everything flowed inside really well

[@CR-px6er]

Your videos always calm me down when I'm anxious. It's great to come home from a horrible day and see a new video at the top of my feed

[@jostrad]

Unhinged Emily makes me so happy. Loved this video. I know your aquarium nail techniques are 6 months more advanced now with your 3d-printed tips, but dude. That knife aqua was EVERYTHING. So good.

[@ErikaTheChaosManagerx4]

Unnecessary like counter 🤣🤣🤣🤣 I feel that in my soul. I really love your channel! Finishing the video now....

[@lilyem97]

The Halloween aquarium nail is everything

[@Its.Jessica.]

The nails with the hair are definitely giving me glam Wookiee. Lol.

[@LeeLee86]

Also, the acrylic paint pens work great on nails but I use ultra fine top ones. The brush tip is just too big for me. Try the micro tip ones!!

[@Neonatnoon]

The first nail screams 90s horse girl to me. So cute!

[@JustFaving]

I love the hair in the nail honestly xD It looks like tiny stems or branches especially with the flowers on top!

[@haleyandlesley]

I love that right side. Haven't made it through the video yet.. you look like a magic fairy 🧚‍♀️ ✨️

[@Rumle88]

I use acrylic paint pens a lot for my nails it works perfectly, as long as you topcoat or seal it of course. You can get any kind, even tiny ones. Just look for any acrylic paint pen. You can marble with them too, if you use a brush with a little alcohol. :)

[@nirzara7176]

Is this emilys consistent era im losing it omggg so so grateful for u ily

[@youtubegirly98]

That aquarium nail looked SO SICK 😵 like WHAT??? Love you and your vid’s as always 🥰

[@error404webpagenotfound]

The "like" counter had me rolling. I do that sometimes too.

[@lacytaylor1501]

I say 'Like' so much I start feeling like Shaggy from Scooby Doo or something

[@G_100]

That first nail, looks like you has a fight with a magical yetti. Lol ❤

[@ItsLeiaxo]

Looking so beautiful Emily 😍 that like counter almost killed me off omg 😂💀

[@aliwilson4130]

The ring finger is my favorite. I love that you found a good aquarium nail hack, but the art on the ring finger is just too cute

[@anya8940]

The hair nails are reminding me of doing my nails and no matter how still I stay I always get something stuck in/smudge it 😅

[@LeeLee86]

Yes the alcohol inks need to be put on with one smooth motion. That’s where you’re getting the splotchy spots and it not working correctly. It does work just fine with other pigments and inks, you did great ❤

[@shaunacorrigan9372]

I've used acrylic paint on nails before and it works great! It just really needs a good couple layers of top coat to really seal it in🤗

[@melissageorge2915]

Can you do a video/series where YOU re-create nails of YOUR favorite artists and their work?!?! Maybe include where we suggest artists and/or a set to try to do! Like ballpit nails, nailzbydev, tino vo, and so many more!!

[@Alystu]

The counter. 😂😂I didn't even realize you were saying it a lot.

[@TheMunchyelena]

The best way for French tips with dual forms is use the lines on them to measure each finger and where to stop….I’ve also been doing nails forever so it’s easy for me maybe not as easy for others to carve out the shape and know how much to use so the nail bed part isn’t too high. Practice makes perfect!

[@mellinsomnia1]

The aquarium nail, the stuff will move around better if there's a bubble. The bubble will push the glitter around. I had a phone case that was full of glitter and some liquid, and it had some empty space so the glitter would go up and down nicer. But loving the nail, this way too 🖤

[@Tastykake83]

That aquarium nail came out amazing!!! Your rhinestone placement was *immaculate* ❤🔪

[@error404webpagenotfound]

It looks like the first video is using it to make the ombre easier to achieve. I still haven't mastered it tbh, I always pick up too much, and that little brush doesn't pick up a lot so I might try this to do an ombre with.

[@Leaveyouinstitches]

OMG, the "like" counter. 😂 I am dying and laughed so hard lol. 😅

[@Spicynails_essex]

New Emily video means my Friday night is a Friday night well spent 😍 also the “like” counter sent me 😭 relatable ✨

[@Vikkilatterman]

I love the hair and I’m so happy to be here within an hour! Emily I love all your videos and appreciate the effort you put into them all. ❤

[@EmilySusanah]

Thank you 🫶🏻

[@pamluxford5854]

Your entire attitude tonight just really lifted my mood! A kinda “ i have no F’s to give” with a dash of awesomeness.

[@hellohologram]

I prefer your rainbow ink accident nail, it looks like a lava lamp or something. 💖

[@vonkatartistry2390]

What a wild set 😹🥴🩷🩷🩷🫶🫶🫶

[@colourfulsouls]

I rarely even do my nails, but I love to watch your videos! As an artist, I can appreciate it Love to see what you come up with

[@Honeybatcher420]

I don’t know why but the set looks very good together , a bit Halloween and creepy with the hair I like it 🥰 and very cool designs you Tried . Always a joy to watch your videos ❤️❤️

[@TastySchu4]

Love them all SO much. But the white sticker one is my fave. You are so talented & make such great videos, sweetie 😊🩷

[@Ay-B]

I love the aquarium nail! Those knives are awesome.

[@gabbygutierrez9377]

Recovering from Covid rn and that hair nail is absolutely amazing, might have to do that when I’m not sick😂😂

[@lizzym8773]

I liked your version of the smoky nail, is more like smoke like at least in my eyes, lol. The tank nail turned up nice too. Great video really enjoy it.❤

[@sineshange]

The like counter is so funny, need one in every video 😂😂🥰

[@sheila933]

The “like” counter kind of made me sad!! Say “like” as many times as your heart desires, it’s adorable! ❤

[@jeanniefromtahini5197]

The second design reminds me of these crayon pictures I made when I was kid. We would use neon crayons to draw some bright bright design then cover it all in black. Then we would scrape off the black in shapes revealing the color underneath. Awe. nostalgia.

[@ThatBetchEllie]

Your hair looks so good i have black on top and purple underneath but i love yours better I'll have to let it grow out and then try that

[@yesenianieves7832]

Pink flower tip was my favorite. 💗

[@DiscoPrysm]

Holy heck! You look so pretty Emily! I love this glitter eye look on you! And your hair! Gorgeous🥰

[@brendanelson5734]

I love the look of that aquarium nail!!!! It doesn't look so thick and bulky, and you did an amazing job at making it.

[@Atlasintokyo]

Ur videos calm me down when my life is messy ily

[@kristena5825]

The "like counter" was so funny, I know I do the same thing but it's so hard to stop!

[@sele1122]

omg perfect timing! love watching your vids while in bed and that's what im doing rn lol

[@leahsoldat4118]

That aquarium nail is sublime 👌

[@beccarose4930]

Obsessed with the hair it’s amazing I love it, it suits you perfectly!!

[@effieboo9275]

The like counter with the Imma work on that after made me giggle ❤ love you. I cackled when you out the brush hair on your nail (waking my dog who was sleeping on my lap)

[@itswhitneywatch]

Perfect timing for my Friday night in ❤

[@Stef_T-G]

The "unnessary like counter kills me!😂 In quebec french canadians of the same age say "genre" the same amount of time 😅 It's not the same word but context is similar.

[@Kree.B.]

The hair could be really cool in a fall nail. Use it as like hey/grain/tall grass field with pumpkins and leaves and/or wild flowers.

[@Toast_ey]

Love your vids they always make me smile also love your hair

[@SadGurl_00]

Love your hair and the makeup is on point as always. SLAY QUEEN💜💜

[@Creppycookies]

The middle nail is everything, I'm so ready for Halloween 🎃🎃🎃🎃

[@shweeleigh1616]

I love your eyeshadow, Emily! Especially, the glitter/sparkle on your lower lashline. ❤

[@michelleguadian5041]

Omg Emily 😂 I’m living for the unhinged mail 🙌🏼

[@jordinplayzz]

Thank you Emily!!! I needed this ❤

[@KCMO1994]

The "like" counter though 😂😂

[@user-lu7dq3kp6k]

I enjoy polygel nails. I just ordered the nail stickers. Thank you I am so excited to use. I enjoy your videos so very much.

[@deedavis6981]

When I first started doing my nails I used a tiny brush for the cuticle areas to help keep them neater... not sure I could do a full nail like that though!

[@laessigzone]

One of my fav aquarium nails! 🔪 it flows so good!

[@Honkey-Donkey]

Taking it waaay back on that aquarium "hack" ❤️

[@tessaelto1472]

When you randomly decided to put the hair in your nail I LOST IT 😂😂😂 You are the best ever

[@daniellethibault3645]

i like the hair nail lol the flowers set it off

[@alisassmannshausen6808]

Seriously, you are just so beautiful and talented. I enjoy your content so much

[@julieinthedesert420]

Loving the hair, it looks so amazing on you! Thx for another great vid. ❤❤

[@AceKaci]

They all turned out great! I especially love the aquarium nail. The thumbnail should be called Rapunzel. 😂

[@denimeier8675]

Omfg I'm ☠️☠️☠️☠️ not the (like counter)😅😂😂😂 you're so funny Emily 🥰💙

[@pixievitalis_xs]

the stickers on the lamp are so cuteeee definitely joy bringing

[@rubyspolishednailz]

They all came out Great, very Creative 🥰

[@lyricdemers8203]

I'm pretty sure I read that they did a study on people who say "like" and "uhm" a lot and it showed that they thought about their words more before speaking, and usually were better communicators because of that!

[@EmilySusanah]

That makes me feel better ty 🥺

[@ginahires7378]

love your hair always my fav color 💜 i love all of them but the black aquarium one is fire love the pinky too. great work .

[@bunnyjeans.]

Woo early! Loving the hair, the dark colors look so nice on you! ❤️

[@shannajenkins6289]

Youve 'nailed' the aquarium nails with that one! Slay!

[@leggi_bois4eva]

I have that Keroppi sticker on my phone!! 💚

[@nettybrown8831]

Vee nailed it and kirsty mekins have great tips on the neon hack you were doing.

[@tattoedpassport]

Loving your makeup ❤

[@brandiswafford6501]

The hair of the brush works. It's like dry grass ❤

[@lavendertownvip1908]

Wow, Ispent yesterday comfort watching some of your old videos and dang your camera quality looks amazing now. Your set up is perfect!

[@agds91078]

Sweet Emily no matter if something turns out exactly how it does on the inspo vid you my dear still do an amazing job. As for me you are an inspiration and you teach me so much about doing fun, cute and unique nails ❤ Hugs from Kentucky

[@christiana3515]

[@jill9405]

Emily you look gorgeous as always

[@ncruz1607]

Come through with your art in nails 💅🆗! Like always fantastic Emily...I always enjoy your videos... So great for the soul to me!!!!!😍❤👍👍👍

[@dawnlee1155]

Love these videos ❤

[@Dasha_2019]

I think with neon pigments you supposed to rub it right after you take them out of lamp, when they still warm. I heard this rule for all types of powder pigments.
