Creating an Acrygel Ring & Matching Nail with Encapsulated Shell

  • Heya Duck in today's video we will be getting crafty! I'm going to be making a ring out of acrygel and of course, a nail to match, lets's get crafting!
    I'll start by sizing up my ring and to do that I'm going to take a piece of backing paper from a nail form and cut a slice of that off about 2cm in width then I'll wrap that around a Gelica Gel bottle lid which is my size and I'll stick that down with a nail tab.
    I'll take some clear-as-day Acrygel on my spatula and I'll start to apply that around the lid of the bottle then I can use the Mr Buttons brush with a splash of clean-up solution to smooth over the Acrygel and refine the edges and then that can go in the lamp.
    While that’s in the lamp I'll start on the nail going in again with a bead of acrygel and I’ll create a thin layer of the nail but don’t cure it yet.
    I'll add another thin layer of Acrygel to my ring so we can place some Shell into it I'm using some white and some pink I'll take my hammy picker upper and just press some pieces of shell into the acrygel when I'm happy with the placement of the shell I'll pop that into the lamp and I'll do the same with the nail.
    Back to the ring I'll add another thin layer of Acrygel to encapsulate the shell and cure that and then I'll do the same with the nail except I'm going to be using pink marshmallow at the cuticle area.
    On the ring again I'll use my BabaCass Gel Polish to add some sparkle and cure that and then I'll do the same on the free edge of the nail.
    Now I'll give the ring another coat of clear Acrygel, then I'll use my BrenDek Brush to clean up the edges and smooth over with the Mr Buttons brush, then that can go in the lamp.
    Now I'll encapsulate the nail with the Clear as Day Acrygel and we can give that a cure.
    Now I'll wipe over the ring with clean-up solution on a lint-free pad to remove the sticky layer and then remove the right from the bottle lid and ill file that into shape.
    Now I'll use my E-File with the pink Swarovski bit to smooth the inside of the ring and then we can give it a buff over.
    Going back to the nail I'll remove the sticky layer and file the nail into shape
    Now we can use the Gloss topcoat on the inside of the ring and give that a cure and I'll gloss top the underside of the nail to cure that
    Now I'll take Chewie my SFX topcoat and I'll use this to seal in both the ring and the nail.
    And that’s it! I hope you enjoyed the video and I'll catch you in the next one! T’Rah Duck!
    Lots a Love KM xox

      @@merisamartinez9838 right?!?! And Kirsty is second to none in her own right. She could make the molds for 3D art from all her own hand done designs over the years. We nail lovers follow many for all their uniqueness and the quality of their work and art and willingness to share their love and experience with us so that we all can learn and grow too. How about the time she did the teeth? For fun of course. One of many of her art projects she’s shared with us.

    Hi Adam. I hope doing you're ok. It's one of the hardest things to lose a beloved pet. 💔
    They are part of the family. I'm still not over losing my horse, Pilgrim.
    I kept a big lock from his tail. You've inspired me to braid a little bit and encapsulate it, making an acrygel ring like this.
    Thanks Kirsty! 💓 xx
    Ps. LOVING your acrylic 👌🏾 ..I got the big size full collection.. Perfection!
    It's amazing to work with, results are fab and the pots are stunning! 💎💕
    Would love a cool toned dark pink/nude cover powder for dark skin tones, if you ever expand on your cover colours, please 🙏🏽🥰 xx

    Hi Kirsty and fellow nail peeps! Bought your acrygel and I’m in LOVE. Just a question- If you have a warm room and warm hands (I’m in Australia) would you recommend popping acrygel in the fridge for a few minutes? I find it gets very soft and sticky once applied to my nail.

  • @manfredfails7485

    love this idea, would it work using the fake hand or would Acrygel stick to it to size it? My practice hand is roughly same ring size as me. I'm hoping on getting your products for my Birthday soon too. love watching your vids and Adam is so funny 'Kirsty's Arts and Crafts Channel' 💅

    • @Nails_By_Kimberlee
      @Nails_By_Kimberlee Рік тому

      Gel bottles are opaque so the gel inside doesn't cure over time just from daylight so it should be fine. You could always wrap something around the bottle to protect what's inside just to make extra sure.
