What a beautiful photo, right?

And you clicked because is that easy?

I'm telling you, we all love cat eye, but this is easy.

Bear with me, let me show you.

The hardest part about this design is trying to decide which colors you put together.

Now, I did all four before I do the thumb to show you in the demo.

What I learned, I was trying to do these kind of ways, like to do it this way and then to do it this way.

And I like that.

But my favorite, I think, is the progression from the dark to the lighter one.

I think that's what I established.

So all you have to do is make sure that your nail is built.

Now, this is freshly filled.

The white is grown out, but it's filled with a clear or a nude pink kind of thing, and I did fill it So it's fresh and ready to go It's just looks too different.

It looks like it's grown out, but it's not so this is just a finish now I'm gonna buff that finish now now

The only problems that can really arise with this kind of thing is

if you experience some sort of chipping with your gel polish

So you want to make sure

that you use a good enough grit to be able to hold on onto that gel colour, onto whatever nail you built.

If you've got a tip on there, buff the tip.

If you've got acrylic on there, you've got to buff it.

If you've got gel on there, buff it, because gel likes to stick to a buffed or a sticky gel nail.

Okay, so make sure you've got your shape down and you're happy with all of that.

And then give it a bit to the buff just to get rid of it, or wipe it with alcohol.

If you wipe it with alcohol, make sure it's completely dry before you put the product on again.

So the colors.

I picked these colors because I really wanted it vibrant.

You could do it with any softer, any type of gel cat I want.

But I picked this one because these colors are very, very vibrant and they have very strong pigment

and very magnetic bits in it and lots of them to get that real look.

So all I'm going to do is just I'm going to dump all the colors right on my table

so I can work quite efficiently and it's gel, so it's not gonna dry.

Okay, oh, one thing I wanna do before.

I don't generally do this because I don't really have a problem with lifting

because I buff it with a strong enough grit.

If you're using a 240, good chance it's gonna chip.

Don't use a 240, use a 180.

And if you're using it on product, at least a 180, right?

But if you have any problem with lifting, use an adhesion of sort.

And that's what I'm gonna do now.

I have buffed this nail and now I'm gonna put the adhesion on.

You apply it by putting it on kind of like in a little circular motion.

It's just getting into all the grooves and nooks and crannies of making it adhesive.

Giving it an adhesion to actually make the product stick.

The only reason why I'm mentioning this to you is because I had somebody message me.

I think it was on Facebook.

And they were having, oh, nuke it for 60 seconds.

they were having some really big problems about their polished chipping and this was

they have a clientele and only just maybe 10 out of all their clients were doing this

so we were troubleshooting back

and forth trying to get down to the bottom of what's happening

and she's very frustrated I felt so bad for her

because she was so frustrated

and she was thinking about giving it up all for just a few clients when everything else was she's doing great

so she sent me photos fantastic job beautiful work

and you could see that she was

and she gave me the list of what she was doing

and no problems whatsoever she's doing everything right

so the only thing she wasn't doing was an ad maybe adhesion

or a strong enough buffer so she's going to try that and see

if it works some clients don't need it that's that's what

can be confusing about this industry some clients need it some clients don't

so then there's a battle of no you don't need it well some clients do

so it can be kind of confusing so

if you have any trouble with lifting just try an adhesion between your natural nail the gel polish

or the fake nail

and the gel polish just try an extra adhesion i did

notice one of these colors can stain a little bit even on this silicone

so i'm gonna just put

that color specifically on this clear layer i'm laying down just

to protect this pad i mean that's getting really big you don't have to do that but And you know what?

I think I might just Almost like a little shield because I can peel this right off.

It just peels right off the thing, but it That one color is such a strong pigment.

It actually did a little tiny stain on my Little mat here, so I kind of just try to keep it nice and clean.

I mean it's getting picky.

It's a work area Okay, so my first color is called Ulti No Shade Love this color

And it's just one nail so you don't really need too much much.

Back rolls.

I think tongue pop is the one that can really cause a stain.

And then there's kitty girl.

And not today Satan.

Actually this could be the staining one.

Actually I think this is it.

And then good God get a grip.

Okay now Now you just need yourself a nice long, oh I got a short one just for the little tight corners.

That's a 7mm brush and I'm also going to have my 25mm brush and I also have my 15mm brush.

Now sometimes you might not use them all but you just have them all ready just in case.

Then I'm going to have an alcohol soaked pad right nearby so that I can just rub my brushes on it.

Sometimes I'll fold them like that so that I can press it

and then get rid of all the stuff inside of it.

Okay.

Now you're ready to go.

Once you've got everything set up, believe me, when I did this hand, this table didn't look as neat and tidy as this.

I cleaned it all up for you guys.

So I've got my adhesive on there.

Now don't worry about those dry looking messy cuticles.

That'll all be fixed once I put the oil on them.

Okay.

Now the big question is, which color do I start with?

100

The middle color seems to be the orange and the green

101

and that is always seems to be where I start and I think that's because

102

starting on the edge in the center at least I can move out.

103

I think that's why I do that.

104

Okay, so green seems to be sort of the middle bottom.

105

So let's start with that.

106

Now one great thing about gel when you're working with gel is If you don't like it,

107

you can simply take it off.

108

And when you do it, pull it right down over the side.

109

I'm going to move it up over here.

110

Sort of like a swirl this way down the nail.

111

I hope that looks good.

112

Making it kind of thinner in the center.

113

Now I'm gonna just flare this out.

114

Okay, I'm just, yeah, I think I like that.

115

Okay, this is where you want to get your magnet.

116

See what effect you want to create played with cat eye before you know what it can do for you

117

so you're just gonna play around

118

and see what kind of effect you can get on it

119

and then move it a little and see if it does the shifting

120

that you're looking for I think that's pretty effective I like that let me just sharpen it a bit

121

See how it's really moving and really shifting?

122

See that?

123

You can really just sort of select what you want.

124

I want it a little sharper.

125

A little sharper.

126

Oh, I could play all day.

127

Okay.

128

I just want to give it a flash gear because I'm going to do it all at once at the end.

129

I just want to hold it in place so it doesn't move.

130

Or if I bump into it with another color, it doesn't bleed into each other okay

131

so now I'm going to clean my little pen we're going to get this little alcohol pad here

132

because it needs a little bit of pressure if you go like

133

that it doesn't really get rid of all of it

134

so I usually fold it over press a little

135

and then pull it out so the next color I did is called Kitty girl, it's the purple.

136

And you're going to put it right beside.

137

Oh, a little tiny hair.

138

Oh, you know, I really didn't leave enough room.

139

Okay, so I kind of think that maybe I made the...

140

This is just a personal flair, but it gets you a chance to show you if you made a mistake.

141

So I think it's maybe just a little bit too wide there, so I'm just going to eliminate that a little bit.

142

so yeah you can see that if you do something you don't like and maybe it's a little too

143

yeah I think that I prefer that look so I just made it a little bit narrower in the center

144

and flaring out this way on the end.

145

I might have made the green too wide, overestimating the width of the finger.

146

So now I'm going to just sharpen up the cat eye effect.

147

I love that.

148

It gives like two different shades.

149

So yeah, you're working with one color, but you've got like, it looks like two different colors on there

150

because it gives the darker side of the color and the shimmery magnetic side.

151

Okay, now if I'm just moving it a little, I can see that shimmer.

152

That's pretty effective.

153

I like that.

154

Let me just see if I can knock this back a little.

155

Make that a little, yeah, yeah, yeah.

156

Now I don't want to touch that end, but I just want to affect that a little.

157

That's pretty good.

158

Maybe just a little dab in the center, make it a little bit more sharp.

159

Yep.

160

Okay.

161

I'm going to give that maybe three or four seconds.

162

I just want to hold it.

163

Okay.

164

Now I'm going to clean off that poipel.

165

And now I'm going to go in for some good God, get a grip.

166

It's this beautiful, rich blue color.

167

So when you're putting it on, make sure that you put the gel polish right up to the previous color.

168

Make it real crisp and strong in there.

169

That's lovely.

170

So then I'm going to take my little...

171

You can see why.

172

If you don't nuke in between, they can bleed between the colors.

173

And also, it'll shape-shift your.. like the magnetic will get affected.

174

So you have to freeze your magnetic color or you don't get that look, right?

175

Let me just try another shape See, that's interesting, we could cause that like,

176

but I find that really boring I don't really like the line I like this where it kinda

177

Causes that when you move your nail You see it kinda shifting on both sides

178

I'm gonna cause it really blue down there and see if I can See how blue that is?

179

No shimmer almost And then just pick the shimmer up on this side and see what that does.

180

Okay, let's go in for just a few seconds.

181

And let's squeeze another color over here.

182

I'm going to go for this sort of a deeper pink.

183

It's called Tung Pum.

184

And now, it's not much.

185

You're not going to see much with this, but I can see it a little bit.

186

Did you see that move?

187

Just that little tiny spot.

188

It definitely moved a little bit.

189

And yes, I am going to give that just a couple seconds nuke.

190

Okay, and then I'm going to clean my brush.

191

Okay, so now I'm going to go in with this orange color and the green together.

192

It's called Back Rolls, this orange.

193

So I'm going to put the orange right next to this.

194

I got a little bit on my skin, I just noticed.

195

You get a little bit of product on your skin.

196

Just take some alcohol on a pad.

197

Let's get back to me orange.

198

And I think I'm just going to make the orange just a little bit skinnier up in here.

199

and I'm gonna just magnetic up that cat eye effect on the orange.

200

I like to get it kind of sharp.

201

Does that work?

202

Yeah, that's what you want it to do.

203

You want it to have a good shift.

204

Okay, then I think we can only really fit one more color on there.

205

And that's gonna be not today Satan.

206

This nice really intent.

207

This is the staining pink that I was talking about.

208

that it might stain your matte.

209

Oh, I love this color.

210

So I finally didn't really need the other brushes, did I?

211

Because this is a bigger finger, but the smaller brush that I had ready, I had them ready just in case.

212

You never know.

213

Okay.

214

Now I can give the whole thing an oops.

215

So I gotta change that.

216

Let's give it a 60 second complete full nuke so all the layers will cure properly.

217

Now I will put the reveal on there to protect and bring out all the colors.

218

Okay, and now I'm gonna give it a full 60 second cure for that top coat.

219

When you're doing it with a customer you want to make sure

220

that you paint every green color on one hand completely Do

221

two hands separately then do all the purple then do all the pink

222

So you're not cleaning the brush in between because

223

when you clean in between it really does suck up time

224

But it goes much faster if you do one color on the whole hand Okay, let's take oh hang on.

225

I just about forgot.

226

Oh, oh here it is.

227

I almost forgot it Look at this.

228

I made a little ring to go with it it.

229

So when I'm doing the photographs, it's on the ring too.

230

Okay, now let's check out the photographs.

231

Like I say, when I did this, it was a mess.

232

When I do the YouTube channel and my customers, I make sure that it's all nice and clean because a mess can be very chaotic.

233

But I'm just going to get back to this and now see if this will peel up.

234

Okay so I'm just going to pick up a corner here because it won't.

235

Oh look at that.

236

Oh my goodness.

237

I'm brilliant.

238

That worked really good.

239

Look.

240

Look at that.

241

Okay just fold it and toss it away.

242

That worked awesome.

243

That was really cool.

244

Okay one thing I did want to mention, I think looking at the patterns, I don't like the thumb as much.

245

It's okay.

246

It's pretty.

Phương Pháp Shadowing Là Gì?

Shadowing là kỹ thuật học ngôn ngữ có cơ sở khoa học, ban đầu được phát triển cho chương trình đào tạo phiên dịch viên chuyên nghiệp và được phổ biến rộng rãi bởi nhà đa ngôn ngữ học Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Nguyên lý cốt lõi đơn giản nhưng cực kỳ hiệu quả: bạn nghe tiếng Anh của người bản xứ và lặp lại to ngay lập tức — như một "cái bóng" (shadow) đuổi theo người nói với độ trễ chỉ 1–2 giây. Khác với luyện ngữ pháp hay học từ vựng bị động, Shadowing buộc não bộ và cơ miệng phải đồng thời xử lý và tái tạo ngôn ngữ thực tế. Các nghiên cứu khoa học xác nhận phương pháp này cải thiện đáng kể phát âm, ngữ điệu, nhịp điệu, nối âm, kỹ năng nghe và độ lưu loát khi nói — đặc biệt hiệu quả cho người luyện IELTS Speaking và muốn giao tiếp tiếng Anh tự nhiên như người bản ngữ.
