Original caption

Who knew I was doing my own engagement nails. Timing was insane. My client renetta found @OPI “bubble bunny” and gifted it to me. Ive been wanting to try it on myself for the longest. For a week before getting my nails done, I was biting them off. Angela spare her time for me to help again. The universe knew 😉 #engagement #engagementnails #bridalnails #fiance

Product placement

OPI (nail polish brand): ACTS - used to paint the client's nails. Removing it would change the video's outcome. It is a product being used to create a visible result. Squarespace (website builder): APPEARS - the creator's bio link leads to a Squarespace site. Removing it would not change what happens in the video, but it would remove the destination for potential customers. It is a platform used to host the creator's business website.
