The video is a tutorial on how to deal with nails that have grown out from using full cover tips. The main steps involved are:
1. Preparing the nail: The presenter starts by preparing the nail by removing any lifted areas, using a safety bit to file away any bulk. This process is crucial to ensure the nail is ready for the fill.
2. Preparing the natural nail: The natural nail is then prepared to absorb the product. The presenter uses a gentle rubber band to buff the natural nail and push back the cuticle.
3. Applying the adhesion: The presenter then applies a product called Bridge, which is used to create a gap between a natural nail and a product or between two products. In this case, it's used to adhere another product to the nail.
4. Filling the nail: The nail is then filled with a product, in this case, a clear product. The presenter uses a method called "filling," where a small amount of product is added and flattened on the nail. This is done until the nail is fully filled.
5. Blending the product: The product is then blended into the nail to ensure it blends seamlessly with the natural nail. The presenter uses a method called "blending," where the product is moved around and worked into the nail.
6. Curing the nail: Once the product is applied and blended, the nail is cured under a light. This process is important to ensure the product adheres to the nail and dries properly.
7. Filing the nail: The final step is to file the nail to ensure it's smooth and even. The presenter uses a hand file to create a smooth surface on the nail.
Throughout the process, the presenter emphasizes the importance of taking your time and not rushing. The goal is to create a seamless look that blends the product with the natural nail.
