El Michelle's 'BOW' has viewers asking: since when does she do nails?
The one-word short drew more likes in 14 hours than her shorts usually collect in five full days, and a smooth transition is the other thing everyone mentions.
Why this story? The video opened at a pace of 160,095 views a day, 12 times a normal first day on this channel (13,796).
BOW
"UR A NAIL TECH???" is the most liked reaction under El Michelle's newest short, and it sums up the comment section. The video carries a one-word title, "BOW", and many viewers write that they had no idea nails were part of her repertoire. Some ask whether she does her own. One asks how to book an appointment.
The other subject is the edit. A string of comments, mostly in capital letters, singles out one transition as especially smooth. A few viewers joke that she seems to try everything, as if nails were another side quest for a channel her about text describes as lifestyle and beauty.
It passed 120,000 views in its first 14 hours. A new short here usually ends its whole first day near 14,000. The likes came in even faster, and the comments ran about three times past a usual first day, which is a lot for a channel whose shorts tend to draw only a handful.
It stands apart from the rest of her Sunday. Three other shorts went up the same day, including "I like this remix" and "Chronic over sharing", and none of them came close. The only recent upload in the same range is "This is funny" from the day before, and it took longer to get there. For the channel as a whole, the stretch has been quieter than usual, which makes the nails stand out even more.
