The best part of a nail salon visit (aside from a minimassage or picking the color) is watching the artist work. It's especially entrancing when you're witnessing the masterpieces of nail technician Yire Castillo.

I came across Castillo's creations after Huda Kattan regrammed one of his videos. From there, I spiraled down a rabbit hole for hours, often watching the same clips more than three times in a row. I'm utterly captivated by his work. He seems to specialize in techniques using acrylic powder to sculpt elegant talons and designs. The results are dramatic, flawless, and seriously covetable — in fact, you'll crave a set of acrylic nails after seeing these videos.

Read on to see what I mean. Once you watch how he creates a rose out of practically nothing, you'll be hooked, too.
