♡KEY POINTS ON HOW TO MAKE AMAZING NAIL VIDEO TUTORIALS:♡
♥ Camera/lens:
– I film my videos with a Nikon D5300 camera:
– Nikkor 85mm f/3.5G AF-S DX ED VR lens:
– BUT it doesn't necessarily matter what brand of camera you use (Nikon, Canon, etc.), what matters more is the lens and that you know how to USE it 😉
– (this video was shot with a Canon Powershot S110 point-and-shoot – )
♥ Tripod:
– MeFoto travel tripod kit A0350 (table-top and extendable) = good metal tripod –
– Optex T120 minipro tabletop tripod = crappy plastic tripod
♥ Lighting:
– 2 x 5200k 28W compact fluorescent lighting (CFL) bulbs from your local photography store, screwed into two regular desk lamps
♥ Editing software:
– iMovie for Mac (v. 10 or higher)
– There are alternative programs for Windows PC, just Google it!
– Don't use an app to edit your video, apps suck
♥ Exporting videos:
– Exports from iMovie as .mp4 file, compatible on all social media for sharing
– HD 720 or higher, but larger file sizes may be too big to send to yourself to email to easily post on Instagram
– I have been told that Android phones kill video quality when uploading through the IG app, sorry Androiders 🙁
♥ VoiceOver mic – Blue Snowball USB mic:
♥ Get more followers on Instagram with your nail videos:
– Watch the video above for which key hashtags to use 😉

This is THE BEST and THE MOST USEFUL nail art tip video EVER! Thank you so much for putting this together! I know it must have taken forever. I use tripod, 5500K studio lights, actual camera (a small digital camera), and Windows Movie Maker for my tutorials, so it looks like I’m in the right direction 😀
I was so curious about your sparkly background. I need to get those glitter papers now 🙂 I use lightbox for winter time and not happy that the holos don’t show up at all. Do you simply take your nail photos against black foam board? I follow you on IG and your pics & videos are always droolworthy!
+Cassis P Awesome yay!! Ya anything between 5000-6000k is fine really. I used to take my nail photos against a white foam board but a couple months ago started using glitter paper! And I save the black foam board for the videos – through I have a black glitter paper I’ve used in some polish pics too! Sparkly backgrounds are key for pics 😉
So cool of you to take the time to show others how you do this, so that anyone who wants to try it, can. Awesome job!?⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
+candice bergstrom Thank you! Yes it took me forever and killed my computer so bad I bought another one right after lol 😀
Simply Nailogical This is ancient, Im weeping.
Great now I know how to make the videos!

How I knew this was gonna be good: “use a real camera, don’t use your phone”
imovie seems too complicated to me… Is it actually hard to use?
omg your username is life, i also agree it isn’t difficult haha
It’s super easy. I started using it when I was 12 and after all these years I still think is the best and easiest editing video program.
Lydia Belouli maybe watch some tutorials, or play around with it. It looks confusing from the start brut it’s easy
Karen Maslow do u use iMovie on ur phone or MacBook, because i used both and phone is much more harder than the macbook
I am watching this in 2016 and she sounds so serious in this video??
M M ??
Addie F. I’m watching this in 2018
Addie F. I’m watching 2018
Addie F. How about 2018??? Hmmmmm
IS IT WEIRD THAT I’M CRINGING AT CRISTINE’S SERIOUSNESS??
+YeolDaFire (FireLight19) mine is Lay and Chanyeol, wth
she is probably pretending XD
Srslyyyy
Jinsoos no its not cause i am too
Jinsoos sAmEeE
You can use an iPhone and edit on iMovie lol I did it for two years (makeup tutorials) ?
+Caitlyn Osborne true but it’s a good way to start if you’re on a budget lol or inexperienced
Exactly, that’s why I said it was a for the time being way.
iMovie for mobile devices is not as good as iMovie for computers.
For my nail videos I use my iPod touch 5 to film and iMovie for iOS or an app called Perfect Video to edit
Iysm you helped me with editing! ❤️❤️
OHMYGOD THE FIRST EDITING VIDEO IVE SEEN THAT ACTUALLY SAYS HOW TO DO IT
ikr
YES IKR
I knowwwwww❤❤❤❤
Abagail Mack true?
Where is the sarcastic Cristine? Why so serious
Woah she does not sound as confident as she does now. The evolution of Christine.
Lizzy krueger YES
Cristine, CRISTINE!!!
Cristine*
H
Lizzy krueger cristine ur judt like sb
I dunno why but I feel like I should sit up straight and be taking notes o.O??
when school memories come back.. xD
planetbrown eyes Your still in school .-.
Do that then
Seven petals held by my heart same
I see comments saying how serious she was in this video. I can still see the humor she puts in it but maybe she wasn’t sure how much joking she could let there be in fear of the internet’s reaction. She had to “warm-up” us to her. Or I could be looking too much into it and she was just awkward/nervous lol
same
Please update this! I know no body can get what you have, but it would be cool to show tips and what you use to edit.
