Why it worked

The video taps into the popular 'mystery' or 'surprise' trend, creating intrigue around the nail design and the artist's skill. The creator's engaging personality and the detailed, yet fast-paced, documentation of the nail process, combined with relatable elements like food delivery and a day 3 update, likely contributed to its shareability.

Summary

The creator visits a mystery nail artist found on TikTok who charges $55 for a set of nails, with the artist choosing the design. The video documents the process from arrival to the final reveal, including the nail artist's studio, the application of acrylics, charms, and gems, and a day 3 update where one nail has fallen off.

Original caption

The fact these were only $55 honestly shocked me… would you trust someone else to choose your nails? 💅🎀 For reference: it took a little longer because we were filming TikToks together and chatting the whole time 😂 She did such an amazing job! 💕 One nail has since come off, but that’s because I spent hours tying balloons for an event. 🎈@clawedsalon #nailtok #nails #nailart #BeautyTok #fyp
