    In today’s video, I will show you how to paint a Snow Tiger in Gel Polish and then finish off the set. I'll start with the base coat then I'll add some of the Netty Gel to the thumb and pinky and I'll follow that up with Lisa-Lisa on the index and ring finger I'll create a curve shape along the outer edge with Netty and then give the nail a full cover layer of Lisa-Lisa and on the middle finger ill give a coat of just the Lisa Lisa and then ill go over that with the matte top-coat so my mechanical pencil we take.
    Now I’ll draw out a 3x3 grid on the nail to match the 3x3 grid I have layered over my reference image and transfer the pencils.
    Now I can paint out the tiger I’m starting in the middle of my contrast range with grey and creating a silhouette of the design that I can then add contrast to using black and white I'll paint in the fur with tapping motion and switch between black and white as needed then ill use the black to create the markings and give definition around the face and then ill go back to the white and add detail ill use Dan for the Tigers Nose and then for the eyes ill use Lucy and void and also a touch of Night Glow a blue glow in the dark gel polish.
    I'll finish the set off with some black and white lines on the index and the ring finger and I'll add some stars to the blue areas using the Night Glow Gel then I can seal everything in and that’s it! I hope you enjoyed the video and I’ll see you in the next one! T’Rah Duck!
    Lots a Love KM xoxo

    I can barely draw a stick figure and then there’s Kirsty. You are amazing! So incredible at painting, such detailed, miniatures.

      Lmao I mean I get it, but she did have years to practice and perfect her trade. But she's definitely a fantastic nail artist, one of the best I've seen from online videos. Heck she does her own nails! Now that I still don't know how the heck, I can barely do much with my left non dominant hand let alone try to put nail polish on, but especially sculpt acrylic & do highly artistic things on my own nails 😂

    Back when I was a kid they used to have characters and the boxes like you did in a magazine called Highlights and I would draw them all the time! I’d forgotten about it until I saw this. Amazing work Kirsty! I love this set!! ❤

    I can barely draw a stick figure in 4 hours 😅😂 I have told you so many times, “these are my favorite set” 😅 I know these are definitely MY FAVORITE 🎉❤ absolutely incredible artwork 🎉 It’s so inspiring and incredible what you can do on such a small canvas 😮 The snow leopard is one of my absolute favorite wild comments ❤ When you said it would not come out perfectly the same…girl…you made it look even better with all the shading, dimension and the colors you used ❤ Not to mention you hand drew yours. The image you used was made with a layer printer. Outstanding job Kirsty 🎉 And yes, I was literally giving Carry a round of applause just like you did 😅😂 She is one lucky gal to be wearing the most fabulous nails in your part of the UK 😊 When Adam asked the fill in the blank with his question, “I’m going to the netty.” My sentence went like this, “I’m going to the MALL” 😅😂 WAY OFF 😅😂 the word “netty” in my mind the word sounded much fancier 😂 I really enjoy all of Adam’s tidbits of information. I’m literally a tidbit/fun fact junky and appreciate learning about different cultures ❤ I think the lions, tigers, leopards, panthers, bob cats even the domesticated cat are the most regal and majestic of animals. I follow a group on TikTok named, “living with wildlife”. They are from South Africa and rescue all sorts of wild life. The lions she has were rescued from poachers and people that were trying to capture them illegally. She has 3 adult males that are stunning and because of the care they provide they are now healthy. Happy New Year’s to you guys ❤ May 2024 bring you good health, new fun filled memories and prosperity 😊❤

    White tiger is my absolute favorite animal, when you said there's not much more I think I could do you were right I'm no where near experienced and I mean no where near, but if you had some small blue bling for the eyes would've been cool looking I think but love the way the are!! You always amaze me!! I check UA-cam everyday to see if you have uploaded a video love watching the thoughts in your mind come visual!! 👍👍 Thumbs up for both of y'all!!

    OMG! That design is absolutely stunning! I'm a cat lover and this set needs to be on my nails 💅
    I wish i had a smidge of the talent Kirsty has, but i don't. My drawing/painting skill is about the level of a 8 year old...lol
    I've tried many times, but it never turns out good. If i lived close, I'd be a regular client of the amazing Kirsty Meakin. Since I'm all the way on the other side of the planet, i guess my best choice is nail decals...lol
    Happy New Year to Kirsty, Adam and all the beautiful ladies getting their nails done on this channel.
    As always, sending positive vibes and blessings from Northern Indiana USA 💀 🌹
