♡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 😉

  1. 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!?⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

    LOVE your videos!! Thanks for sharing <3

  5. you know why she is my favorite nail artist on you tube? because she gives you the truth other channels give you “simple tutorials” that you want to shoot in the face. Simply Nailogical gives you the TRUTH

    Lol menchie in the light box

  7. Is this the same camera & lens you use for your nail pourn videos?

  8. How I knew this was gonna be good: “use a real camera, don’t use your phone”

  9. 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

  10. I am watching this in 2016 and she sounds so serious in this video??

  11. IS IT WEIRD THAT I’M CRINGING AT CRISTINE’S SERIOUSNESS??

  12. Missphotogenic Baby April 20, 2016 @ 12:51 am

    You can use an iPhone and edit on iMovie lol I did it for two years (makeup tutorials) ?

  13. OHMYGOD THE FIRST EDITING VIDEO IVE SEEN THAT ACTUALLY SAYS HOW TO DO IT

  14. Cage The Madelaine May 29, 2016 @ 12:47 pm

    Where is the sarcastic Cristine? Why so serious

  15. Woah she does not sound as confident as she does now. The evolution of Christine.

  16. Seven petals held by my heart July 21, 2016 @ 5:12 pm

    I dunno why but I feel like I should sit up straight and be taking notes o.O??

  17. 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

  18. 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.
