It's nice to see a video that's a fail, and that they're honest about it. I don't expect every attempt to be successful the first time out of the gate. It also means they're not cherry picking stories for the ones he can replicate.
Nitrocellulose (also known as cellulose nitrate, flash paper, flash cotton, guncotton, and flash string) is a highly flammable compound formed by nitrating cellulose through exposure to nitric acid or another powerful nitrating agent. When used as a propellant or low-order explosive, it was originally known as guncotton.
I love this series! One thing that people who have shellfish allergies should be aware of: some nail polishes (not just the "peary" ones) contain shellfish proteins. I found this out the hard way after a trip to the emergency room.
I'd like to see episodes about: soap (like hand soap); dish detergent; laundry detergent; and hair conditioner (like what you use after shampooing your hair).
@@bharatdev6309 sir please help me is there any chemical free nail polish available in the Market? I like the smell of nail polish .so before buying i see dbp formaldehyde DBP camphor and resin toulene acetone free nail polish
@@deepshankhitudu4414 do you mean you don’t like the smell? You could try a water based nail polish, there are several brands. I can’t tolerate the smell of regular nail polish, so it’s perfect for me, there is almost no smell. It doesn’t bother me at all. 😊
You can use alcohol as a solvent to make it dry quicker and you want the color to be bounded to a non water soluble medium so you might to use tree resin or gum as the main ingredient. If from what I know about shoe polish, the wax is there to protect and give the finish. Unlike modern polish you probably need to buff the nail after.
I wonder what would have happened if you let it dry longer? I use water based nail polish, and it will dissolve like that if you get it wet right away, but if you wait several hours (preferably overnight) it stays like a regular nail polish.
I'm pretty sure natural shellac is non-toxic as it is made from the lac bug and the flakes are mixed with ethyl alcohol. Looking it up I discovered that some places are making shellac nail polish!
I realize this video is almost 5 years old, but at 6:54, the non-dissolved stuff is probably egg which got cooked due to adding hot liquid to it. Tempering the whites or something might prevent that
Great video, thank you! Which ingredient keeps the polish water and oil resistent? Nitrocellulose I'm assuming... Can you please do a follow up video? :)
Thank you for doing this stuff. Are you looking at just beauty/hygiene products in this series? Or can you add anti-bacterial ointment and insect repellent to your list?
What if you added a drying solvent, like pure acetone, to the recipe? I don't really know how to prevent the nail polish from being water/oilproof though. Sorry 😆
But how would that react to the polish itself? I know acetone is used as an intense nail polish remover, but I'm not sure how it works (Lit major, no science background sry). Maybe a better alternative could be found?
George Zaidan I hope you do! I love these videos and while I'm happy you posted one that didn't exactly go as planned, I'd be even happier to see an update. Either way, good luck! I look forward to seeing more fantastic content!
It's so sad that I can't use nail polish because I have an extreme weird allergy from it. When my skin comes into contact with any nail polish kind of thing, my skin starts to itch and within few minutes, small blisters start to appear. And if I don't treat it as soon as possible, the itching spreads to my whole body and eventually my hands turn into some kind of alien's hand full of blisters 😱😱
What are the most harmful ingredients in nail polish? There are lots of brands that are "7 or 3 free". is that just a marketing tactic or does it have some validity?
The "smell" of nail polish are the esters he was talking about. They're used to help keep the solution "liquidy" until you apply it. Then it evaporates off the nail and into the air, allowing the nail polish to dry. (It's a solvent.) And those esters are why your nail polish smells like a spilled bottle of rubbing alcohol.
***** I figured that Moises Flores probably was more familiar with rubbing alcohol than paint/varnish removers, so that's the reason I went with it. And for those who don't know, nail polish remover has acetone in it as well. (Wonder what it's affect on nails and nail beds are.)
Can I inhale nail polish daily m kinda addicted to inhale nail polish...i used to huff for half n hour daily...m afraid what will be the causes ..i try to sniff camphor formaldehyde DBP toulene acetone free nail polish
this is almost impossible for me to watch. i'm dutch and my english is quite good, but this guy talks very fast (and with an american accent but he can't help that) and the ingredients he sums up are all named up too quickly. i have no idea where he was talking about.

Just found this series . oh my god. This is everything I ever wanted..thaaaank youuuuu
Thank YOU!! Tell your friends about it :)
Tell your friends, tell your neighbors, tell Ricky Gonzales!

"We'll figure something out." Says a man who has never needed to take a shit after painting his nails.

Having a chemistry degree, this is absolutely my favourite series ever! Also, great and smart eye candy. So I come back for both!
When he started blow drying his nail, my cat attacked the screen. I guess she was trying to save him. ^_^
@@tiffles4492 can you please help me with chemical free nail polish
@@tiffles4492 i like the smell of nail polish...nd want to huff for 1-2 min
Working on my chemistry degree now! I'm here trying to figure out how I can extract the dyes from the matrix for determination in my lab.
I'd like to see episodes about: soap (like hand soap); dish detergent; laundry detergent; and hair conditioner (like what you use after shampooing your hair).
Hair conditioner is coming this season; soap & detergents are on the list for future seasons!
Nice sir, it is based on my syllabus about chemical component in nail paint

Hope you keep doing these 'break-downs' it's interesting and informative to find out what stuff is in stuff.
You left out a requirement: Non-toxic.
Otherwise, Shellac starts to look good.
Alcohol as a solvent is a reasonable choice.
I'm pretty sure natural shellac is non-toxic as it is made from the lac bug and the flakes are mixed with ethyl alcohol. Looking it up I discovered that some places are making shellac nail polish!
It's a skin irritant, eye irritant, and toxic if taken internally... cnd.com/sites/default/files/images/MSDS-Download-shellac-color-coat.pdf
I get what you're saying now. Yeah, and regular nail polish is the same.
I realize this video is almost 5 years old, but at 6:54, the non-dissolved stuff is probably egg which got cooked due to adding hot liquid to it. Tempering the whites or something might prevent that
I know I'm incredibly late to the party but maybe evaporating the beet juice as much as possible might help a bit?
Great video, thank you!
Which ingredient keeps the polish water and oil resistent? Nitrocellulose I'm assuming...
Can you please do a follow up video? :)
Thanks alot for this rich informations , I taught cosmetics in pharmacy college , and you have reapted all my lessons .
Thank you for doing this stuff. Are you looking at just beauty/hygiene products in this series? Or can you add anti-bacterial ointment and insect repellent to your list?
I had seen it before, and then never saw it again. Will you ever make more, it`s awesome!
My girlfriend is gonna think I'm so smart when I casually mention that benzophenone-1 is a UV blocker while she's painting her nails.
Would you make a video about nail polish remover?
Well since you mentioned it...I'd like to see a video on Sunscreen and Sunblock (and if there is actually a difference :) ) Keep up the awesomeness!
Great idea! We had sunscreen on the list but great question - is there a difference between "screen" and "block"
This series...
😱😱😱💜💜💜
I LOVE IT!!!!

Thank you very much for this video its awesome👏
I Love this Series so much!!!!!!!!!
What if you added a drying solvent, like pure acetone, to the recipe? I don't really know how to prevent the nail polish from being water/oilproof though. Sorry 😆
Good idea. Have to figure out how close acetone is to nature...
But how would that react to the polish itself? I know acetone is used as an intense nail polish remover, but I'm not sure how it works (Lit major, no science background sry). Maybe a better alternative could be found?
Shelby M. I'll look into it if we do a follow up to this episode!

A lot of polish has shellfish. Might be allergic to that.

Good question. I'll look into it -- we might do a follow up on nail polish.
Cool. Thanks!
how magnitic nail polish is made?
Simplynailogical is not impressed. But I am!
A makeup brush would have worked nicely to brush it on!! lol nice job
lol...George is definitely NOT a manicurist... hehehe!
Why is the smell so strong? Does the homemade one have a distinct smell?
The "smell" of nail polish are the esters he was talking about. They're used to help keep the solution "liquidy" until you apply it.

I am in love with him, well his mind :)
His mind is in love with you too.

a paint brush would have been more effective than a qtip
I think you should have put some Elmer's glue in it!
Does knowing Chemistry always come with a quirky sense of humour? Haha

Too much Beet juice I think XP
add more gelatin
