Transcript
00:00Oh my god, what?
00:02Oh, these look like nails.
00:07Hey guys, today I am here and I am going to attempt to do a full face of makeup
00:12with whatever lies in here.
00:17It's a pe- I'm just kidding, it's not a penis.
00:20What?
00:21They're really long nails and I have the shortest nails ever.
00:30These are big nails.
00:32And there's regular makeup in here too.
00:36They want me to apply eyelashes.
00:39Eyelashes.
00:40Something I can't even do with my regular nails.
00:44There's some dark eyeshadow makeups.
00:48Liquid eyeliner, of course, because why make it easy?
00:51I'm trying to see the positive.
00:53White lipstick.
00:55This sucks.
00:56This is mean, this is bullying.
00:58I'm actually quite terrified because I could poke out my eyeball.
01:02Somewhere, Carrie Bradshaw is walking around without a heel.
01:08I'm going to start applying the nails.
01:10Once upon a time, I wanted my nails to be really long.
01:13I was jealous of the girls who had, like, long acrylics.
01:17This could literally poke an eye out.
01:19Note how I'm using my palm.
01:21You know what's going to be hard is applying the second set of nails.
01:25Let's just gaff it.
01:27Oh, yeah.
01:29Like, I'm going to have to literally do everything with a jazz hand.
01:34These would be really great for a back scratching convention.
01:37Okay, my nails are all done.
01:39I'm going to start with eyeshadow.
01:41I'm going to do a nice going out look.
01:44I think I'm going to start with the hardest.
01:49I'm just going to tackle this.
01:52The key here is to face your nails downwards.
01:59I'm poking myself in the eye.
02:01Ow.
02:02Ow, ow, ow, ow, ow.
02:03Switch it over.
02:04Left eye.
02:06Up.
02:07Lay down flat.
02:10Oh, my God.
02:11Oh, my God.
02:11I mean, it's not good, but.
02:14Oh, yeah.
02:15I think I'm just going to let that dry.
02:18Put some blush on.
02:23Oh, tools.
02:25I did a lighter color on the bottom.
02:28I did the dark blackish gray on the top.
02:31Now I'm going to attempt to blend a little bit using my finger.
02:36I didn't know it was that pigmented.
02:39Good to know.
02:42So next, what I'm going to do is I'm going to do a line of the liquid eyeliner.
02:52Liquid eyeliner.
02:53Oh, no.
02:54I'm afraid I'm going to literally poke out my eyeball.
02:57Start with this one.
02:59Cut eye it up.
03:01I'm feeling feisty.
03:02Maybe I can just cover up my mistake.
03:05Next is the lashes.
03:07Oh, wait.
03:08Hold on.
03:09Oh.
03:11If you were trapped on a deserted island and you needed to grow out your nails really long
03:15as tools, they could be used to be a knife.
03:22They could be tweezers.
03:24Tools.
03:26Ah.
03:27Long lashes, long nails.
03:29Very bright blue.
03:32I'm going to go with this goth look.
03:35I've actually, I've never worn white lipstick before, so this will be a first for me.
03:39It's very mod.
03:40It's not a phase, mom.
03:46This is a complete look.
03:48I think I'm bringing together two worlds that you would have never thought would go together.
03:54Long Island and goth.
03:58Step number one, apply really long nails.
04:00Step number two, open up eyeshadow, swivel, swivel, swivel, down, up.
04:05I've got my smokey eye, my 1994 blush.
04:12Last but certainly not least, choose a lipstick color that matches the color of your nipples
04:16or your favorite character's nipples.
04:18For me, I chose Casper.
04:20Blue lipstick, hair to the side, swooped perfectly.
04:24I'm ready to break some rules.
04:26I'm ready to go.
04:27Mom, can I get another piercing?
04:30This was so much fun.
04:31Thank you so much for joining me today.
04:34See you next time.
04:36Bye.
04:37Bye.
04:39Bye.
