The next nail we're going to do is an encapsulated
lace.
[21]
I've already cut a piece of lace off and I've
already decided I'm going to use that section
[27]
there because it's got quite a nice bit of
netting in it.
[30]
We're going to start by creating our smile
line using our cover pink.
[35]
Remember to take that bead out the back.
[76]
Now don't worry if that cover pink isn't fully
covered because we're going to put another
[79]
bead on after we've put our netting or lace
on.
[84]
For the next bead I'm go to do a thin layer
of our pink,
[101]
covering the whole free edge.
[117]
So that we can then get our piece of lace
and hold it down.
[136]
We can then work on our cover pink again and encase the whole nail.
[178]
We're going to encase that whole piece of
lace now.
[195]
Still working on those side walls, otherwise it will take too much filing if we don't.
[293]
Make sure you check your apex of your nail.
Make sure it's all nice and smooth.
[325]
Let that acrylic set a little bit then this
nail's ready to pinch.
[332]
I'm going to pinch this nail now. Make sure
you pinch the free edge then place your pinching
[340]
tool on to pinch the rest of the nail.
[349]
We're going to take this pinching tool off
now and release the form.
[365]
We can cut off the excess lace.
[381]
Then this nail's ready for filing.
[428]
We're going to finish this nail off with a
little bit of hand-painted so we're going
[431]
to smooth the surface down with a white block.
[459]
Then this nail's ready for hand-painting.
[480]
We're going to do some very fine detailed
black paint work so we're going to water down
[486]
the black paint a little bit so that it's
nice and thin.
[504]
Basically what we're doing is extending the
lace down onto the nail bed area.
[569]
That nail's now ready for a gel top coat.
[597]
Get your client to place that finger into
the lamp for two minutes.
[606]
This nail's now done. Just to finish it off
a little bit of cuticle oil and don't forget
[612]
to go underneath when it's a transparent nail.
[624]
And that's a lace encapsulation done.
