Welcome back to my blog!

Today I want to show you the results of a challenge that I asked myself.

Last time I made a very long 10 cm nail, I leave you the video link here.

This time I focused on time.

I chose to reconstruct three nails with the nail form, with different time: one in an hour, one in 30 minutes and one in 10 minutes .. yes you read that right, read on to find out how it ended.

Let’s start!

1 hour

During the making of this nail I took all the time I needed to do a precise job.

I carried out the preparation of the nail using 3 efile bits, to remove the cuticles and opacify the surface of the nails, I used a delicate file to shape and further opacify the foil.

I applied all three preps and measured the nail form with extreme care, so as to put it as correctly as possible.

I applied a base using a thin brush and respected the polymerization times.

I extended the nail with the gel.

I then removed the nail form and created the structure.

I chose to file with the file because I had so much time and I wanted to have maximum control over what I was doing.

Once I finished filing I switched to color.

I applied two pink hands with extreme care, reaching the cuticle with a very thin brush, without ever touching the skin.

Once catalyzed I degreased the color and gently passed the buffer to opacify the surface.

So I made a French with red, I was very careful to make it precise.

I catalyzed and created a flower and a twirl, going later in the lamp.

My hour was about to end, so I applied a pearl to the center of the flower and sealed it with a dispersion top coat.

Once degreased I applied the cuticle oil and here is the nail made in 1 hour.

Do you like it? I am quite satisfied with the result.

30 minutes

To make this nail I had enough time but not too much to get lost in the details.

The procedure I have done is the same as before but a little faster and eliminating some things.

I skipped the nail opacification with the file, I filed the structure with the e-file to be a little faster.

I applied the color without using the fine brush.

I made the French, but I wasn’t as precise as the first and without catalyzing I already made the flower and the twirl.

I then applied half a pearl and a polish without dispersion to be faster.

I applied the top coat and that’s it.

So how is it?

In general it’s fine but I could have filed more on the sides to deflate the structure and on the central part the French is a bit shaky.

Now there will be fun.

10 minutes

Are you aware of all the rules that must be followed to correctly reconstruct a nail? Well forget them all. 😂

I ran against time.

I opacified the nail with the file quickly, and measured the nail form.

So I applied the nail prep and the binder which is a little faster to dry.

I put the nail form and applied the monophasic as a base, without catalyzing I perform the extension and also the structure, then I send in a lamp.

Obviously the product was quite a lot and therefore it went a little where it wanted.

I quickly filed with the e-file and switched to color.

I didn’t apply pink and directly with the color brush I drew French. Without catalyzing I made the flower and the twirl.

I catalyze only for 30 seconds and put the top coat without dispersion and I put the half pearl on it.

I catalyze for only 30 seconds and apply the oil.

I finished just in time and here is the final result.

This photo speaks for itself.

Although I had just made it, the nail already had lifting, the French is disproportionate, badly catalyzed and even the flower is not well done.

So is it possible to make a nail reconstruction in 10 minutes?

Yes, but the result will not be well done.

Here are the nails in comparison.

I had a lot of fun doing this challenge.

I also made a youtube video so you can see how I did it, I leave the link here.

This article is finished, I hope you enjoyed it.
