Developing a Video Tutorial on Combining Gradation and 3D Techniques in Nail Art

Abstract

This research is motivated by the need for innovative learning media in the increasingly complex field of nail art. The objectives of this research include three main points: (1) to produce a development design for video tutorials on the integration of gradation and 3D techniques in nail art, (2) to produce development steps for these video tutorials, and (3) to test the feasibility level of the developed media.  The methodology applied is Research and Development (RnD) by adopting the 4D procedural model (Define, Design, Develop, Disseminate). This research was conducted in the Wonogiri region, Central Java, involving local nail art practitioners as trial subjects within the 2025 to 2026 period.  The results showed three crucial findings: (1) the video tutorial design was systematically validated through detailed storyboard preparation, (2) the video production process successfully integrated Full HD visuals with clear instructional narratives, and (3) the feasibility test results showed scores of 97.50% from material experts, 98.00% from media experts, and 96.50% from users. In conclusion, the video tutorial is declared highly feasible and effective for use as educational media in enhancing nail art technical skills.
