Jes almost cut her butt doing this challenge. RIP Jes' butt

[@Kuurajin]

@@cashmerehazel21 it’s just meant to be a challenge

[@hamburger_milkshake1585]

@@kimmyKEY17 I don’t think their aim was to show that nail extensions are good or bad. It’s just a challenge and in the meantime giving a home based Salon some exposure. don’t think it was warning people not to get extensions... if someone wanted to get them they wouldn’t let this video change their opinion lol

[@kyliecustodio9154]

can you pls tell me the song at 4:40

When hafeez stopped for a moment while combing his hair and then proceeded to use his nails instead of his comb I laughed damn loud my mother asked me what was wrong with me lmaooo

[@agentkb2]

[@austen98]

I've been living in Australia for some time now and when I see Hafeez go, "Bad bod your head, Bodoh!" I couldnt stop laughing for 10 minutes.

[@AngeloTime]

Anyone else notice how bolin is struggling the most because he has the longest extension HAHA

[@cindyhuiqing8610]

She is only 17?!!! And that means she is a year younger than me with her future secured and here I am with my future being blank?!! WHAT AM I DOING IN MA LIFE 😭

Nothing secure in future dear.... she still want to finish her degree and live her life to the fullest..... btw i am her mum🥰

[@nadziskandar]

Nobody: I mean nobody: Bolin: LET ME SHOW YOU AH......

[@ElleAlly5590]

As someone who gets extensions constantly to actually keep my actual nails intact (I’m anemic which makes my normal nails extremely fragile & prone to breakage without extensions), these tasks are normal & also it just takes getting used to. If it’s your first time, start slow and just have it slightly longer than your actual nails.

[@ChanMinYin]

You guys should try those thick and long eyelash extension..thats even annoying..!

[@xueying2210]

So proud that none of them chip their nails. Im a girl and I can't even have mani pedi for the love of god

[@samiao90]

Jes's nail fits her so well. So hot

[@ezracerez920]

Totally understand the frustration with long nails. My manicure sessions is usually once a month which sees my nails growing to a good 2 cm. Typo errors on messages, opening a can with a spoon as lever and baby's poo stuck to the nails is parts and parcel of being vain.

[@snorlaxDjoker]

TSL please please please just 1 episode also can, please have julian, hafeez and Bolin in the same video must be full of laughter

[@aliciachin4183]

thank you for making my day tsl

[@yuugoldfish5159]

This just reminds me of... Try guys OwO (edit) Watched the video, and its time for tips~ From someone who watched too much nailart video, too much hacks video ;P 7:41 - Loofah. AKA sponges to scrub your body. PRobably gonna make you feel cleaner too since you literally scrub your skin ;) 8:52 - Stretchy pants plz ;) 9:14 - For me i like to hold the chopstick, top part wth my index and thumb, the other chopstick rests on my middle finger, so it won't be blocked! 9:38 - OH GOD DO NOT- I REPEAT DO NOT USE YOUR LONG NAILS OR EXTENSIION THEY GONNA BREAK. use a spoon. Or knife. or fork. Pry it up, release the pressure in the can, then use your fingers to open all the way! 11:04 - Pour it on the lid and use your thumb and index to pick them up! Well, you gonna turn your hand a little but it works ;p I've had slightly long nails. and there is one thing that long nails can affect., WRITING, with a pen and paper! THE NAILS LITERALLY DIG INTO YOUR PALMS. So if you see someone with long nails, give them some help if they need it. Please XD

[@rachelthio3444]

Omg...I would die in this challenge. Tried putting nail polish, no extensions, just nail polish on my nails to try once, and by nightfall at the end of that same day, I had grown so irritated by the strange weight on my fingers that I peeled the nail polish off [side note: my first time trying nail polish, so I didn't know the existence of a miracle liquid called "nail polish remover"] X'D

[@beepbloopbeepbloop]

YAH I UNDERSTAND! it felt like there was something trapped between my nails and the layer of nail polish and i hated it
