Overview

The creator, a nail artist, takes viewers through her busy day preparing four clients for the Met Gala. She starts by introducing her schedule, shows herself traveling between appointments in a Lyft, and displays the finished manicures for her first clients. She then details a specific Korean ink-art-inspired design for a client named EJ, showing the concept board and the final look with Swarovski crystals, before concluding her day by traveling back to her hotel at night and expressing satisfaction with her work.

Transcript

Let's have a four client's day with me for Best Gala. This year, I had nine clients for the event, which means I had to work on a weekend. All of my clients were staying at different hotels from near Central Park to downtown. Luckily, Lyft made my travel way easier. First client of the day, done. No, on to the next one. As you can see, it was EJ and we did this Korean rank art inspired manicure using the Swarovski crystals from her actual dress. Here's the sum of the concept designs. After my last two clients, I finally bad to my hotel. All my girls looked stunning on a red carpet, so mission accomplished.
