Bubbles work better if you do a layer of topcoat or base on top of the color and add bubbles on top of that. This way you don't have to worry about messing up the color underneath. I find that using regular dishe soap works best. I love the eyeshadow design and hearts 💕

[@michhmushh]

Naio Nails did a video a long time ago about Dragon Nails with a similar bubble technique - she made a mixture that had some cuticle oil in it which helped make bigger bubbles. It was a mix of soap, oil, and water I believe.

[@ella_cinder4361]

I really like the look of clear "holes". But yes, usually the bubbles are on a top or base

[@coolbeans1435]

dish soap works the best for me to get big bubbles

[@Stef_T-G]

I did mine that way too! I tried many soaps in a video, and the dish soap was the best 😁

[@carveylover]

This was good information. I feel the original video didn't show or specify what they did. I feel they could have, TT allows 1-minute videos now.

[@nguiklian]

Oh my god you have to do like a lisa frank inspired 90s fuzzy velvet poster design with black flocking, imagine how sick that would look!!!!

[@Murfmunkmarine]

I love this idea!!

[@hollypierce3076]

Great in theory, but it will be ruined as soon as it gets wet.😉🖤💚🖤

[@mandimani]

@@hollypierce3076 you can definitely use flocking powder on your nails and still wash your hand without ruining your nails. It’s all in how you apply the flocking powder

[@hellohologram]

The flocking nail gave me an idea for spring themed nails, you could try static grass or diorama moss for a grassy/foresty look!

[@livhuji733]

Great idea!

I know the acrylic one didn’t turn out as expected, but it is honestly my favorite! I love how you improvised & it turned out so adorable! 💜💗 Also, I am loving this lavender/grayish hair color on you! Absolutely stunning.

[@sarahmallonee]

​@@EmilySusanah u can get metal clay cutters u just might not find what u want on Amazon but hope to see u try it again with metal cutters. I saw round ones on Temu cheap that would look cool over laying the circles and stuff. U got this❤️

[@glorygloryholeallelujah]

Ok I know I’m “double texting” here- but I’m actually a FLOCKaholic and use it on my nails a LOT! (I make puppy paw nails with blobby hard gel as the paw pads/toe-beans and use flocking as the fur around the pads -and they’re one of my favorite designs to do…obviously lol). I rarely buy “flocking powder” because it’s expensive and hard to find (especially in crazy colors)-so I go to the craft shops and find fun types/colors of yarn and turn it into flocking. I used to just snip it by hand into a tiny dish (then keep it in sealed containers like they sell it in)…but I have a dedicated coffee grinder for crafting now, so I just use that. 😂 It’s definitely worth the little bit of extra effort, because they make every kind of yarn you can imagine, which means I have glitter flocking, glowing flocking, neon flocking, textured flocking etc. It seems like it would feel weird wet, or be unhygienic to have fuzzy nails (or that it would come right off) -but nope to all! They wash normally, dry quickly and I’ve never had it chip off even when I’m going at it with my nail scrubbers many times a day. ❤

[@jessicadavis5444]

You should try selling your colored flocking on Etsy.

[@saskiagordon92]

I want to seee your designs!

I’ve been toying with the idea of _finally_ joining the 21st century and starting an instagram to share pictures of my nails…and I think you might’ve just given me the confidence boost to finally stop “tHiNkiNg about” doing it and to just *DO* it! Thank you! ☺️❤️👍 Like Emily, I’m not a “professional,” I just do nails for fun (although I’m nowhere near her talent level yet!)

[@shawnalynn5198]

Love your "trying something new" videos. Makes me want to leave my comfort zone. Thanks!

Hey Emily!!If you like the polymer clay cut outs design/idea I googled "metal polymer clay cut outs" and there were soooooo many cool ones! Wish I knew how to do acrylic cuz could do some cool stuff! I love your outlook on trying new things! I agree in your take with the acrylic heart design. I also think it would last longer than a stamp as well. Thank you for your informative and fun videos! ❤

[@autism_inc.]

I found some cool metal cut-out stamps under leather, wood, and metalworking!

[@katiecatnails]

The flocked hearts are my faves!!! I always love your renditions of the designs, you inspire me to be more organic with my nail art.

[@TheJonsiko]

alsooo the blob nail turned out so good! i almost wish you had kept the ombre on it because I liked that look too. if you do a full set of blobs I will most definitely watch lol

[@midnightkay131]

I totally agree that a design done in the acrylic vs. done with gel is such a different look! Also techniques like that can really showcase a nail artist’s skill and techniques

[@WatermelonCatermelon]

I agree with the heart acrylic cut vs gel stamping, it’s definitely a different look and very pretty! Also, someone may have something like these cutters around and not have stamping plates, or may be allergic to gel, etc there’s so many variables

[@shorty21vi]

This was a breathe of fresh air that I needed. Designs I have not seen before. Can we do more fluffy designs like a fluffy animal. That would be so different and cool!!

[@rachellovesyarn9106]

Try dish soap bubbles instead of hand soap for larger bubbles. Dark green base with black overtop makes a cool snakeskin effect!

[@PRINCESSNAILSBYDIANA]

So i know people may come for me here but I've dun say french nails b4 laying the acrylic only using clear acrylic for the nail bed if the client wants a high smile line. Then buff that smooth paint the french and build the nail with clear acrylic. The end result looks more like the french was dun with acrylic. It DOESN'T yellow, chip or peel this way.

[@IunaIia]

23:56 RIP TRYPOPHOBIA

[@Madtigres]

Emily, I suggest that you find die cutters or metal stamping dies as they tend to be better for this type of stamping

[@PRINCESSNAILSBYDIANA]

I have NOT had a good experience with flocking powder. For ke i couldnt get it to cure with gel color. Ive had to use base or top coat to get it to cure and STAY on my jails after washing my hands

[@PRINCESSNAILSBYDIANA]

If u want bigger bubbles then put a drop or 2 of dish soap (thick (good soap)) and fluff the water and get u sum bigger bubbles. Also i think u went to close with the magnet. It looks like they wanted the magnet in the center but it isn't. They just go close to the gel to activate the magnets not to really move them to the center.

[@bored._.wilder9949]

I’m in the middle of doing a Dabi from mha inspired nails and this was soo needed for my motivation ❤

[@saintazepam]

I think the heart stamps in the acrylic would look so cool if the nail was clear! So you could see the colored heart through the clear nail

[@daniellerodgers6493]

I was afraid of tags when I was lil. Especially the ones on comforters and somehow they’d turn crunchy after being washed enough 😱 😂

[@ravenzkorner]

Omg this was exactly what I needed 😍 nail video time 👏🏼👏🏼 Those glow sooo bright ... And I feel like I absolutely have to do an Aura nail with eyeshadow now 😍 Thanks for the content!!

[@saffrontitus]

If you are still looking for metal stamps, look at leather stamping tools. And I think that they are small enough to fit on nails, too :)

[@ethanpschwartz]

The "blob" nails always remind me of those bleeding tooth mushrooms. Beautiful and... kinda creepy. Which is totally my vibe.

[@Hortonscakes]

It's the closeup I always wanted...I'm in love with the left hand middle finger! 💯💯💯❤️❤️❤️

[@lindawillis9460]

YOU ARE AMAZING in thinking through the process and making it work! Love your thought process and getting to something you can use. Today is the first time I have seen your channel and I am hooked. I can't believe how you can do this type of work with the length of your nails. I used to wear acrylic nails for years but stopped during the pandemic...debating if I want to make the commitment to start up again because I hate how my nails look now. I will keep watching!

[@hayleywillis6758]

Please do a video on affordable products! X

[@PRINCESSNAILSBYDIANA]

Let me start by saying I LOVE your videos. I also do videos not so much L8ly BUT in my experience I've noticed that instead of dipping in polymer, if u dip in monomer it works better

[@PRINCESSNAILSBYDIANA]

As u just said it's plastic 😆😂 and u already know about the monomer 😂.... My bad

[@AkiraxKitten]

You might be able to find small metal leather punches in the shapes you want. Might just have to file it a little to make the edges flat . But watching your videos makes me want to do my nails again..❤❤

[@PRINCESSNAILSBYDIANA]

Ive been told to use the wood stamps because their ketal and u can use monomer

The eyeshadow nails look like an infected pimple to me, thank god you chose blue, looks so much better.❤️

Omgg!!! Thank you so much for including my lil blob tutorial!!❤ the airbrush is definitely tricky, I try to use juuust a little bit of the thinner to make sure it doesn’t get stuck in there and isn’t too liquidy to spread out like it did in the beginning!! But yours turned out super cute either way!❤❤

[@AliciaLynn2]

As someone else said with the bubbles it’s best to use dish soap and mix it with water. It makes lighter/airier bubbles and it won’t leave as rough of a texture but the bubble details are perfect.

[@LisaAtherton]

If you had a Patreon and all you posted was super upclose pictures of nail art I would be the first patron lol. Those new lenses are going to make some excellent shots!!

[@EmilySusanah]

Thank you 🥺

[@d.on.in.a]

In order to make the bubbles deeper and the design mor evident, you need to mix the soap with water! By doing so you have enough thickness to file it down and reveal the bubbly texure underneath (basically the same principle as the heart shaped acrylic stampers in the first hack)

[@Gucciblackberry]

Thank you for these videos girl❤❤❤

I've made simple shapes with paper clips. They didn't look great but they didn't look horrible either lol Dish soap makes nice big bubbles. Especially if u blow in the straw n2 the water. Then put the bubbles n2 topcoat 😉 With the flocking powder... If u would've painted the hearts, not cured n grabbed a clump of the flocking with tweezers n dropped it on the hearts, cured n brushed off the excess. The would've felt like a sweater. How they feel depends on how it's applied 😘

If you know your gonna do a video like this where your working on multiple nails, why not just start with a clean hand, no nails or just tips so you can go straight in with trying designs?
