I like how the camera man is genuinely interested in what she is doing. Next I want to see the camera man show us what he has learned by doing a set of nails!!! Like this if you agree!
By my pitiful calculations, there are approximately 158.3 hours of video for your channel. That's a lot of time and I've seen them all! Is that a devoted fan or what????
Yes! I would give anything to have a nail friend near by! My left hand always looks great; no lifting, no weird or asymmetrical nails, and no sloppy polish to have to clean up before curing. It would be so much fun for us each to trade doing each other's dominant hand! We would do our own non-dominant hand, and then the other would do our dominant hand to match. We would just bring all the supplies we used for the non-dominant hand and let the matching contest begin!
I had 3 of my nails crushed in a car window. I picked out the broken pieces, cleaned the nail and applied new acrylic over it and it worked better then a bandage. In my opinion you are doing exactly what’s needed to protect the nail that is left. Great video.
And all girls who love to apply nail polish. I’m ambidextrous when I do my manicure but my sister is always mad when she does her right hand (right handed) and applies nail polish all over her skin and cuticules 😂
I removed my acrylic over lays on 29th December 2018. My real nails were over an inch out from the nail bed, following 11 years of using acrylic tips and over lays. I developed severe onychylosis on my left index finger and such a bad fungal infection on my right thumb, i had to cut the nail off to the cuticle, and soak my 'stump' in tea tree oil. It's now almost August and all of the damage is nearly grown out. I'm desperate to have long nails, but I'm going to try and grow them without acrylic or gel. Wish me luck!! Xx
I'm so sorry that happened to you! Good luck with natural nails, no overlays. But know this, a very light buff is all you need for gel polish, and gel polish will add some support and protection to your natural nail.
I was going to a salon. I spent a year trying to grow strong nails, without success. So, I'm back to acrylics. Luckily, I can infill and rebalance them myself, now the salons are closed due to covid.
I’m a self taught (only my daughter’s, her 2 friend’s and my own nails) nail tech. Let’s see....I was about 15 when I started teaching myself and I’m a few months shy of 40. Doing my dominate nails with my non-dominate hand was the most unnatural feeling EVER! I forced myself to continue using my non-dom hand like I used the dom hand. Seeing a PRO such as Kirstie struggle with the same thing makes me not feel so bad! Truth be told, I think (maybe because I spend more time?) I like the way the nails that I do with my non-dom hand look more! Maybe I’ll start experiment with doing a full set with my left hand! I love all of your work!!
I'm right handed and also self taught. I work so much better with my left hand. I think it's because I'm confident with my right so when working with my left I hyper focused on what I was doing and was able to hone the skill. Now I prefer to work with my left.
I had no idea you could put the acrylic right on the skin. I get these injuries every so often because I have really short nail beds and I wear really long extensions. But I always put a tip then acrylic. So next time I’m gonna try this way.
I wouldn't do it. Every time acrylic touches my skin it itches and hurts later (while it's setting, because it kinda shrinks) but, maybe that works for some people! Although I recommend you do a test before doing the actual nail
Kirsty has previously said that you can put acrylic on the nail plate but not your skin! As the nail plate heals from the inside out whereas our skin heals from the outside in.
You can see her nail bed has hardened as she has let it dry out and left it for a few days. Every once and a while on the skin is fine. Over the years people develope contact dermatitis from the monomer slapped around from untrained or lazy techs. Not from this
@@natasialarsen4297 before when Kirsty broke her nail she said you can put it over the skin when it's healed and when it's dry. Here's the video. m.ua-cam.com/video/pPPlrfHU-Kw/v-deo.html I BROKE MY NAIL AGAIN!!! - UA-cam
Please, please do an update? I learned so much from this tutorial. I particularly struggle with filing with my non-dominant hand, so this was incredibly useful. Thank you so much for all your time and effort bringing us these terrific videos! Much love to you both.
Hello Naio Nails Naiple (nail + people).. blessings to all. Adam... was so nice to see you featured for a change. You are so very cute!!! ... far different from what I'd assigned to you in my minds eye. Glad you are back safe. It was fun watching your antics and visits. Kirsty... this is so timely as I had a nail weaken and pop off taking a big part of the natural nail with it. So thanks doll, you are a real nail -saver. Hugs to all. Oh, Kirsty when is your mom coming back? Sept 1st will be 25 years since my mom was murdered... if your mom could get her nails done around then... it's a great comfort watching her as they act much alike. Hugs to all from Richmond Va, USA.
Please keep us up to date with the growth of this nail, it helps us (the viewers/fans) to learn how to treat, fix, what to look for and how to keep it healthy and strong for it to grow. Please make up date videos about it, thank you in advance 🙋♀️👍
It’s the same nail you broke last year and the same reason! Your one tough lady! I love watching your nails. I do mine but not near the quality at all. I just started with other than just plain nail polish. I’m having fun learning watching your channel. Acrylic nails, not yet.
I'd love to be able to do this someday. My nails break a lot and being able to repair with acrylic is genius! I'm 2 months into nail school and I still suck. Acrylic is so hard for me.
Just keep practicing and you will get better! I was so so horrible when I first started with acrylics about 3 years ago. Now, I am what people call,an "acrylic snob", LOL. I prefer it over any other product. Good luck in school! If you truly love the field and industry, don't get discouraged and before you know it, it will come natural to you!
I wacked my ring finger a few times & had the same issue. I went about the same shorter length you have there... But instead trimmed away the end and I gel attached a full cover tip but I leave a space at the cuticle area (like 2 weeks fill ins worth) and file it even to my natural nail and then acrylic overlay over that. Its grown out nicely now.
thanks for doing this.....I broke my nail 2/3 way down right across....i have been making own nail up with acrylic..hoping it will eventually grow out ...so was glad to see how you treated such a trauma Kindest Regards
I had a nail split vertically, right down to the nail bed. Unusual for me, since my nails are normally really strong (I'm getting a blood test for anaemia) and I've NEVER had a vertical split before! Trimmed it as far as I could but it was still going to catch on something. Since I have only ever done one set of gel extensions (just for fun), it was not easy but I managed to do a hard gel extension on it, with my non - dominant hand. It took a couple of attempts but I got there in the end! Like you, I opted for a clear version. so that I could keep an eye on it. A week later and I trimmed it a bit, the natural nail is almost grown out. It has saved my natural nail, since it would have been torn otherwise!
Love watching your videos I had my first overlays after watching you , thank you and I am 70 years old 😳 never had nice nails but have learnt so much just watching you 😊
That’s so cool to be able to watch your nail repair itself 😎 I’m not getting notifications for every new video posted....but I love your channel so I check often 👯♀️
That looks like it really hurt when it happened. I learned so much. Thank you Adam I must thank you to for asking all those questions so we all learn. You two are a great team.
That looks like my pinky right now. I have a sore were my fingernail and nail bed was. A bad sore. I have to wait before I can put anything on the poor nail.I feel for that poor nail my sympanthies. Love your work as always Kirsty!
Almost a year ago 2 of my fingers got slammed in a truck bed tool box (it was an accident but I did not let my fiance live it down) and one nail was fine, it hurt, but was fine for the most part, my other finger seemed fine, but then a couple days later I found I had maybe a quarter of my nail bed attached. I did exactly what you are doing (with gel) and it helped it so much. I also know if I did not have the gel on it when it happened, I probably would not have a nail at all right now. Love your Kirsty!
Hi Kirsty. I have psoriasis and my nails lift. So I cut the lifted piece off and do what you are doing. They are also paper thin and without my acrylics on it is sore doing everyday things. So I am pleased I am doing what the goddess of nails does. It also means I can put on my scuba gear without pain and dive for a whole fortnight without lifting using only Naio Nails supplies. Thanks for all your great tutorials I have learned so much 💋
I miss when you had daily videos! I know it’s a lot of work but it was such a delight to see on my feed. I’ve also found that the channels I’m subscribed to but not actively interacting on (liking/commenting/sharing etc) I’m seeing less notifications from. And my notifications are on so I believe it’s also in part the viewer needing to interact with the channel more. 🤷🏻♀️ thanks Kirsty for another awesome tutorial. The only video you haven’t done yet is an in-depth efile tutorial. That would be great to see! Lots of love and blessed be!
Agouveia1285 i think you have figured out an algorithm mytery. When i think about it i indeed see more of the channels I interact with on my recommend but on my sub page some channels just never show up....i might have too many channels in there.....
Thanks for this video 💗 I'm also prone to onycholysis (likely as a symptom of a chronic health condition) and for myself it really does speed up proper regrowth to apply an extension. Without it the fingertip itself just mashes against the damaged area, but an extension prevents that and keeps the skin flat instead of puffing up around it. Sometimes I'm sensitive to monomer so if I don't even have a little layer of nail bed growing I'll use hard gel. Doctors probably would advise against it but the alternative is often vulnerable nail beds and as long as I don't extend it enough to exacerbate lifting it speeds things up and helps me look human 👽👸🏻
Adam, my buffer is 1000/1200 grit, compared to the 100/180 grit of an acrylic file or 320/400 of a natural nail edge file. I think the grits are the same as sandpaper, tbh
You're right I didn't get notifications yet mine are certainly turned on. Since I've had acrylics on my nails appear to grow fast I need an in fill almost every 3 weeks or I get painful lifting. I've tried to do it myself but I'm just awful at it .
5,287,515.50 minutes as of the time I am watching this video. This computes to 88,188 hours of viewing on just this one since it was put up. We love watching you!
I did a "free form" on mine... super dry bead and patted and sculpted it into shape. I'm pretty sure I got that from you. I believe it was from a "short, bitten nails" video - extending the free edge in order to apply a form
Great video you guys! I had a pointer finger nail ripped right off in a truck door years back and I agree....it's like a bandage when you can finally put an enhancement over top. I had to wait awhile until I actually healed up and grew a wee nail again....but I was a happy camper after that 👍. Hope yours grows quickly for you Kirsty!! 💗🌸
K: "Not as bad as Fay" A: "you taught her" 🤣🤣🤣 I miss Fay! Hope to see a new video with our favourite worst client soon x Also I would LOVE an update video about your nail situation it
Oh man, that looks SO painful! Please update us on how it heals. OMG, now I know why I'm constantly cutting my cuticles when doing an overlay with my non-dominate hand! I keep moving the file and I'm not resting on anything. Well, I'm a bit of a twat lol. Edit to fix typos.
"How much better is buffing? than with a 240 file" the guy ASKED. her answer 👏 very clear and she shows why, TY. 😊 TO THE GUY, ty you to because newbies like Learn asking questions such as these TY BOTH😌 💯 👌
I'm very new at doing my own nails and i was a little insecure that I wasn't shaping them quite right because most videos i see are with much much longer nails (I usually do mine the length as this one in the vid), but I shape mine EXACTLY like Kirsty does! I'm so glad I translated the motions correctly onto a short nail.
I would LOVE LOVE LOVE to see you put a complete set on your dominant hand. Because for a students like I am, that would look like someone who's doing nails for the first time. And also teach me how to do my dominant hand. Now I'm using tips on my dominant hand because I can't do it any other way..... So please... Make that video for me... Please 😁🙄😘
I love it reactions, lol. Love it better when it's the middle finger, that one u make really funny! RIP ring nail. Welcome to the world, perfect new ring nail!
Adam, the nail grows from cuticle region. It's a very queratinous tissue. The nail bed grows like skin, it's an epithelial tissue, that has 3 layers: endoderm, mesoderm and ectoderm. When she ripped her nail off, she exposed her endodermis (and maybe some conjunctival tissue, underneath epithelial tissue).
Think if this is the second time you should try a nail tip with a deep ridge so as it sticks to the undamaged part of the nail, still allows the air to reach the damaged part of the nail and allowes the nail to grow not telling a professional what to do but I had the same prob
I think the feeling is actually sensitive to exposure it doesn't usually get. Brilliant call with the clear! Fantastic, as always, luv 🤗😊 Love to see the progress. Get well soon lol❤ Let's see the man off camera try a set. He's learned a lot, I wager. 😁
Naio Nails has a lot of videos but the ones with Kirsty are 740 of them, it appears. I think at 10 minutes that's only about 123 hours. I've watched all of the Kirsty videos.
THANK YOU!!! That's awesome that you took the time to answer this burning question! I came looking for this answer and if you hadn't beaten me to it I would have tried to figure it out. But I think Kirsty's videos average more than 10 minutes.
I have problems with shaping my nails on my non dominant hand, they tend to look abit misshaped 😢😢 but I remember having a poorly nail a few years ago an i wouldn’t put nothing in it because I was to scared to but now I just suck it up an do a Kirsty and just stick a nail on it an have it nice and short xxx
Ouch Kirsty!!! I’ve done exactly the same thing and it bloody stings 😩 look how much your nails have grown out!!! I wanna get my hands on them! Lol when mine grow out after two weeks I’m taking the buggers off! Then re design! I can’t cope with the regrowth 🤣🤣🤣
Poor nail 😩😥😢 hope it's better soon! I did the same to my thumb recently. Can I do the same thing but using polygel instead? Love you and Adams banter back and forth and love the channel. You are a beautiful & gifted artist for sure. Love from California!
Idk if you should use polygel bc gel gets pretty warm under the lamp, and you can feel it really hot if it touches any skin around the finger, I can't imagine feeling that on the nail bed🤔 anyway if you try it let me know how it goes!
What I’ve always found fascinating is when I’ve got acrylics on my natural nails grow so fast! But without the acrylic my natural nail grows so much slower.
I caught my hand in a drawer pull a few weeks ago and cracked my nail across the top of the nail by the cuticle, I was so glad it only cracked my acrylic and my real nail was safe and sound breaking a nail just the thought makes me cringe and want to vomit. 🤢
Yes do an update Kirsty as I have broke a nail before never thought to do a clear acrylic makes sense now! I bought a lotus dish too from Asda!! 🤣🤣 £3 bargain 😁😂
Please do an update I’m weirdly invested 😂
Me too! I want to see the different stages of growth. Maybe photos each day and then a video when it's grown to the edge again.
@Miriam Murillo So am I!!!!
yesss we need this lol
she just uploaded oneee!
Yesssss
I like how the camera man is genuinely interested in what she is doing.

westernbelle he just did I case you didn’t get a notification xxxx
They actually have a video of that if I recall. I think it was a couple months ago. I'll try to find it and post a link here. 😊
@@simmerfreek3501 Yes they have it was hilarious!
It's like Adam said type in camera man does nails.
That looks like such a painful break :(
Thanks for sharing this fix up
That's happened to me before and it actually bled
@@JadenYukifan28 💅⛑😫😬😬👅jikes that must be hurts 😟
@@randjegorter8174 Yeah, it did and I don't use Acrylic or Gel either....I use normal Nail Polish
By my pitiful calculations, there are approximately 158.3 hours of video for your channel. That's a lot of time and I've seen them all! Is that a devoted fan or what????
Right it's totally different doing your own nails- especially when using that non dominant hand- than it is doing someone else's!
Yes! I would give anything to have a nail friend near by! My left hand always looks great; no lifting, no weird or asymmetrical nails, and no sloppy polish to have to clean up before curing. It would be so much fun for us each to trade doing each other's dominant hand! We would do our own non-dominant hand, and then the other would do our dominant hand to match. We would just bring all the supplies we used for the non-dominant hand and let the matching contest begin!
I had 3 of my nails crushed in a car window. I picked out the broken pieces, cleaned the nail and applied new acrylic over it and it worked better then a bandage. In my opinion you are doing exactly what’s needed to protect the nail that is left. Great video.
Holds up hand, “this hand is an expert” holds up other hand, “this hand is a student”. All nail techs in the world feel that quote 😉

I had to wait awhile until I actually healed up and grew a wee nail again....but I was a happy camper after that 👍. Hope yours grows quickly for you Kirsty!! 💗🌸
Don’t know the watch time, but I have seen every single video that Kirsty has done. 🥰🥰
Same
I'm getting there. She is just fabulous!
Working on it!
166+ hours of content, so there's plenty to watch!
Same! I'm almost there and have spent literally days just watching her videos! I love her so much!
K: "Not as bad as Fay" A: "you taught her" 🤣🤣🤣 I miss Fay! Hope to see a new video with our favourite worst client soon x
Also I would LOVE an update video about your nail situation it
Thank you Kristy for your info on acry gel it has helped me so much
Oh man, that looks SO painful! Please update us on how it heals.
OMG, now I know why I'm constantly cutting my cuticles when doing an overlay with my non-dominate hand! I keep moving the file and I'm not resting on anything. Well, I'm a bit of a twat lol.
Edit to fix typos.
Brilliant idea. Keep us updated!x
Kristy i love listening to you! You're amazing. I hope to see an update soon on your nail!
Video idea: doing a full set on another person with your non dominant hand..... give that student some practice!!
😂😂😂😂👍🏻great idea YES awesom❗💅
Yes, as your other viewer requested, please do a follow up on your nail’s progress. 👍😊❤️
"How much better is buffing? than with a 240 file" the guy ASKED. her answer 👏 very clear and she shows why, TY. 😊
TO THE GUY, ty you to because newbies like Learn asking questions such as these TY BOTH😌 💯 👌
I'm very new at doing my own nails and i was a little insecure that I wasn't shaping them quite right because most videos i see are with much much longer nails (I usually do mine the length as this one in the vid), but I shape mine EXACTLY like Kirsty does! I'm so glad I translated the motions correctly onto a short nail.
I would LOVE LOVE LOVE to see you put a complete set on your dominant hand. Because for a students like I am, that would look like someone who's doing nails for the first time. And also teach me how to do my dominant hand.
Now I'm using tips on my dominant hand because I can't do it any other way.....
So please... Make that video for me... Please 😁🙄😘
I love it reactions, lol. Love it better when it's the middle finger, that one u make really funny! RIP ring nail. Welcome to the world, perfect new ring nail!
Oh my goodness, that looks so painful, was it?. I love all of your videos/ tutorials. You've been a great help to me. God bless you guys.
Adam, the nail grows from cuticle region. It's a very queratinous tissue. The nail bed grows like skin, it's an epithelial tissue, that has 3 layers: endoderm, mesoderm and ectoderm. When she ripped her nail off, she exposed her endodermis (and maybe some conjunctival tissue, underneath epithelial tissue).
Well done. But be more careful missy.
Great video!!! Very educational and entertaining!!💅🏽💅🏽
Please do a video with your fingernail’s progress!
Your skin looks flawless! 🤩
Think if this is the second time you should try a nail tip with a deep ridge so as it sticks to the undamaged part of the nail, still allows the air to reach the damaged part of the nail and allowes the nail to grow not telling a professional what to do but I had the same prob
Absolutely love your work.... sometimes I want to ask questions but don't know if you'd reply 🎉
Kristy, whenever I need a good laugh you sure do make me laugh!!! Love ya!
I think the feeling is actually sensitive to exposure it doesn't usually get.
Brilliant call with the clear!
Fantastic, as always, luv
🤗😊
Love to see the progress.
Get well soon lol❤
Let's see the man off camera try a set. He's learned a lot, I wager. 😁
Heal well soon Kirstys favourite nail 💐💐💐
Naio Nails has a lot of videos but the ones with Kirsty are 740 of them, it appears. I think at 10 minutes that's only about 123 hours. I've watched all of the Kirsty videos.
spleengrrrl me too 😂
THANK YOU!!! That's awesome that you took the time to answer this burning question! I came looking for this answer and if you hadn't beaten me to it I would have tried to figure it out. But I think Kirsty's videos average more than 10 minutes.
Oooooh you an OG! *fist bump* it has been fascinating seeing her confidence (crazy?) grow over the years. Love it!
This was a very helpful video. Thanks!
Perfect tutorial Kirsty 💕
Get well soon! Lol Please do the follow up video so we can see how it progresses.
One more thing. What grit is the pink buffer?
I have problems with shaping my nails on my non dominant hand, they tend to look abit misshaped 😢😢 but I remember having a poorly nail a few years ago an i wouldn’t put nothing in it because I was to scared to but now I just suck it up an do a Kirsty and just stick a nail on it an have it nice and short xxx
Ouch Kirsty!!! I’ve done exactly the same thing and it bloody stings 😩 look how much your nails have grown out!!! I wanna get my hands on them! Lol when mine grow out after two weeks I’m taking the buggers off! Then re design! I can’t cope with the regrowth 🤣🤣🤣
I loved that you made a clear nail
Great idea to rest the left hand on the table. I never thought of that. Silly me.
Poor nail 😩😥😢 hope it's better soon! I did the same to my thumb recently. Can I do the same thing but using polygel instead? Love you and Adams banter back and forth and love the channel. You are a beautiful & gifted artist for sure. Love from California!
Idk if you should use polygel bc gel gets pretty warm under the lamp, and you can feel it really hot if it touches any skin around the finger, I can't imagine feeling that on the nail bed🤔 anyway if you try it let me know how it goes!
You aren't alone this week. Smashed mine cooking for a party. I am wondering what drill bit you used in the beginning. I need it in my life.
I actually like the length , shape and the soft apex ( as u said Kirsty) !
What I’ve always found fascinating is when I’ve got acrylics on my natural nails grow so fast! But without the acrylic my natural nail grows so much slower.
Poor little nail get better soon
I caught my hand in a drawer pull a few weeks ago and cracked my nail across the top of the nail by the cuticle, I was so glad it only cracked my acrylic and my real nail was safe and sound breaking a nail just the thought makes me cringe and want to vomit. 🤢
I cracked my acrylic right at the stress point and it in turn cracked my natural nail on my thumb that was 2 week ago and it still hurts!
Yes do an update Kirsty as I have broke a nail before never thought to do a clear acrylic makes sense now! I bought a lotus dish too from Asda!! 🤣🤣 £3 bargain 😁😂
i dont wear nail extensions but i love watching your videos anyways because they're so informational and funny
166+ hours of content! I always learn something here!
Fascinating Kirsty ty for sharing just wondering could you also repair damaged nail's with Acryogel as well ? And lol you and Adam crack me up 😃😃😃
Lol I hate using my non dominant hand too. This video should help.
Hi! I love your work. I live in Mexico very, very far away. Where do l find the product you usually use? Are there expensive? We love you !!!
I’m addicted to this channel
well i hope it will growing back soon and it takes time love David
