With celebrities like Lizzo [1], Kylie Jenner [2], and Khloé Kardashian [3] frequently making the news for their sometimes playful and often elaborate manicures [4], we thought we had seen all there is to see when it comes to wild and out-there nail art — then TikTok entered the chat. The social media platform is a treasure trove when it comes to discovering everything from pop culture trends to life-changing beauty hacks [5], but we can't say that anything on the app has puzzled us more than one nail tech's hilarious nail-art tutorials that see him making acrylic nails out of some pretty obscure objects.
The user, who goes by @brothernailtech [6] on the platform, is a professional nail tech who joined the platform to show off his work, which he often showcases on his partner, who also does nails. His page is a mixture of videos that see him creating everything from serious nail designs using neon and metallic colours to others that involve crazy materials like Hot Cheetos, grass, and even a whole tortilla. The videos are pretty entertaining to watch, and it's definitely a bit of a trip to see the end results. Watch some of @brothernailtech's craziest tutorials ahead.
