I have taught myself to do acrylic nails all by watching your great videos it seems like everytime i start have a problem with something you post a new video telling me what im doing wrong! lol Love your channel and all your videos too you seem like such an amazing person with such a fun personality! I'd love to meet you someday!
My teachers never once told me to hold the nails pointed down. I always have trouble with flooding the cuticle even though I use small beads and now I know why. I always tilt the nails up or hold them flat.
Same here. And I'm new at the nail technician business! I cant believe we didnt learn it, but I'm glad we have amazing technicians that help us new ones! I appreciate everything they do for us! 💜💜
I am a newly to all things nail related and have learnt so much watching your videos. Thanks for being so down to earth and keeping things simple and straightforward. Back to practising.
I love you!!!!! Your so funny but yet so talented, I'm a nail tech for 32 years, even now, I'm still in love with doing nails. Watching you inspires me so much!!!!
That's the exact reason for my lifting issue! Far too much at the cuticle. You're such a good teacher. I'm saving the vids I need to a playlist I can refer to when I do my own nails xx
I've done that with nearly all kirstys videos that I've watched! And cos Adam always puts bloopers or funny bits at the end, I'll watch them over and over. Case in point "tiger" wave......watch out any 🏄🏼♀️🏄🏼♀️ lol
I’ve only had one nail tech in America who has not cut me or given me a lumpy mani; ur videos have inspired me to do what I’m interested in and my supplies will arrive tomorrow and I’m gonna get my Liscense so people don’t have to save money like me to get a expensive mani and have to be disappointed like me ❤️ you inspired me to make a difference thanks
Omg so happy here🤗😁😁 I lost my job due to Covid-19 and between doing my nails at the salon and watching your video about 10 times, I am feeling confident in doing my fill at home until I find a job,,,,,thank you sooooo much for explaining with such precision ,,,,,🤗💞😁👍💥💯 I am ready to take on the challenge😂 DO NOT FLOOD!!😡🤪😜
you are a wonderful teacher, in addition to a great artist. I've started learning acrylic nails at 56! It just fascinates me. I hope I can be just a small amount as good as you. You're inspiring. THank you for all the great advice you share!!
You are so precious..!!!!!😻 Thank God for creating people like you. You give hope to my life.!!! You make me feel that I can do the job. Thank you so..so...much for your kindness. God BLESS YOU always 🙏🏼🌹
Thank you , thank you , thank you , now I know what I've been doing or not doing to get my nails to look right . Something so simple makes all the difference THANK YOU ! I don't know why I never caught onto this lovely tip .
You are awesome!. I'm no nail specialist but your explanation of flooding nailbed is so helpful. I love getting my nails done and I noticed they flood my nailbed every time, they don't tip my finger down and I get a reaction of dryness and swelling. Thank you for your expertise! Love your tutorials!
This is the best most informative video of 2017! Seriously. Everything you said was on point! I tried to do my own nails and IT LIFTED AND I PICKED AT IT JUST LIKE YOU SAID! You need the UA-cam play button for this video!
I am sooooo struggling with this at the moment. Ive almost finished my qualification but I'm always over flooding the cuticle and sidewalls. I'll definitely try this technique!! Love your work btw!
I’ve learned so much from this channel. That I didn’t learn in nail school. UA-cam taught a lot of my classmates. It’s crazy we spent so much money for school to learn more outside of it.
You're the most helpful video I've watched and I wish I watched you 30 minutes ago when I did my nails. I flooded my cuticle so bad I don't know what to do cuz I don't have pure acetone to get it off so I'm just going to hope that nothing too bad will happen and if it starts to affect me I'll go to the salon and get it removed. THANK YOU
I just love your work!!!! I literally binge watch all you videos!!! And you have taught me lots of tricks and ways to beautiful nails!!! I'm self taught and for anything I want to know I always go to your videos!!! Thank you sooooo much!!!!
Hi Kirsty, I'm near your neck of the woods just outside Stoke-on-Trent. All your work is amazing. Love watching your videos and always purchase my products from Naio Nails. I've only been doing nails for the last 2 years and am always learning. Your video proves bad habits set in at any time. Thank you for helping me and everyone else correct our mistakes. 💋
Kristy you are without a doubt my favorite nail educator on UA-cam. you are such a wonderfully talented artist and I love how you are always teaching us how to be better. thanks so much for all your help!!!!! Watch out for 🐯👋's....lol
It took me years to stop myself from picking at just my nail polish. Even if it was fresh and had absolutely no ridges, I still scraped and peeled at them. I finally got out of it, but picking at acrylic ridges is far too tempting. This video definitely helped with my application, reducing the actual things I want to pick at. Thanks :)
No, when she said that I nearly shouted "me, me! I don't pick at them!" at the screen. But I bit my nails 🤦🏼♀️til I was 16, so I've spent the last 20 years trying to keep them nice! I taught myself gel, and kirsty has taught me acrylic (though I do still get the odd frustrating issue every now and then!) My friend's nail tech daughter used to do her nails, until she asked me to try doing them, (eek was I nervous!) now she won't let anyone else do them, so I'm thinking about doing a proper course now, just not sure what course would be best. Kirsty is sooo booked up every time I look!😩😩😩
I just started doing my own nails and I keep getting so frustrated with flooding my cuticles! Now after watching this video I’m gonna do some practice beading as well as always keeping my nails slanted down! Thank you so much for having made this video! You’ve probably just saved my sanity 😂
I love u so much naio nails! I always come back to ur videos! Even ur older ones lol. U teach me so much as a new nail tech and I'm thankful that u are here to help with these problems! Again I love u and your videos! Your the best💜💜💜
ok, im a guy with lots of experience with painting miniature dioramas, cars people etc and im wondering why does painting nails look so hard??? and whats with the paint??? I reckon with a decent hobby paint u could get perfect coverage in one stroke? IDK, what am i missing???? PS great work... ive got sucked into airbrushing with stencils on my wifes nails
Thank you for this lesson. I have been practicing the beads and you are so right about the bead application. Please keep up teaching the techniques💕💕 you are such a blessing💕
can kirsty show us how to infill a gel edge nail, or are they meant to be taken off at every fill? where i live in canada acrylic nails are out of fashion, its all gel, so whenever possibly it is so appreciated to see when kirsty also does the nails in gel aswell as acrylic thanks!!
The place I used to go they'd actually tap (not nicely) my fingers with the file everytime it wasn't relaxed 😂 (which it obv wasn't because my nailed was getting hot af) 😂
You are absolutely amazing! I love watching your videos. This one had definitely helped me so much!! I’m teaching myself how to do nails, your videos are always a go to for me! Thank you 😊
I love your videos I have seen just about all of them and I have spent so much money doing all kinds of new things this last couple of weeks because of how amazing and educating your videos are! And of course you are just so easy to watch not boring and annoying! Lol I would literally love to come work with you I have been doing acrylic since I was 14 years old lol but I have always had a prob with flooding but I never tipped the finger!!!! So today I will be doing that! Lol I really do appreciate your videos 🖤 I just wish I had more peoe to practice on so I don’t have to keep changing my nails every two days! Also, have you ever done a video on extending week old gel nails?! I have weak weak nails and since I keep changing then every couple of days to do new stuff I decided today I will just shorten my gel nails and shape them like my reg short nails and the. Extending...hoping to save me more product and time lol we will see how that goes! I’d love to see you do it as I know you will perfect it!
wow thanks so much! I learned so much from your video! I am so new at this and I flood the nail. I need to learn that part! Thanks so much! I love this channel!! Thank you!
Un canal tan importante! Como puede ser que no este n todos subtitulados o doblados. ERES una maestra ! Sigo naio nail de hace mucho. Te admiro . Besos d Argentina.😘
That's why I stopped getting my nails done cause they always flood my cuitcle and burn my nails when filing with the electric filer and cut the crap out of my nailbeds. the nail Tech's here in the US suck they need to pay you to come across the pond and teach this here.
A lot of nail places are actually shady and don’t even have a license. Next time you go into a nail salon and you think it’s fishy, ask to see their nail tech/cosmetology license. They legally have to show you and if they refuse just walk out. Usually though you know they’re the real deal if they actually have their license plastered next to their work station or in the salon, if they don’t then that’s questionable
kirsty I think I need one of those smacks 😁😁 im learning how to pick up bead ratio correctly and I hold my nail flat so I can see it because I can't see the cuticle to know how close I am. Will have to try this your way, I'm slow in so slow getting this ratio right it's frustrating I'm not surr how much pressure I should be using when I wipe brush on the dampen dish and if I'm supposed to just leave the tip wet, iv tried all ways but I won't give up your my inspiration, I love your sense of humour can have a good laff as well as learn, thankyou BTW I love your hair colours
Wow Kirsty! That is pure perfection! Thank you so much for showing me....me the right way from the start so I don't have to learn the hard way. I'm doing really well in my course thanks to you and your videos. xxxxxxxx At my age I haven't got bloody time to learn the hard way LOL ;)
Thank you! This video is a God send! This is a big issue for me as I am starting to do my own nails! Again thank you! Well detailed, easy to follow! ❤❤❤ HAD TO SUBSCRIBE
This was so helpful! I’m doing my own infills at home at the moment but I’m struggling with lifting! And you’re right! I pick at them! 🙈 Could you tell me how wet your brush is when you get the bead? That nail was my idea of absolutely perfect! I now aspire to be that good!!

You are a great teacher. I went to school years ago and they never showed me the things I have learned from you. Thanks for sharing your skills.
My teachers never once told me to hold the nails pointed down. I always have trouble with flooding the cuticle even though I use small beads and now I know why. I always tilt the nails up or hold them flat.
We are so glad that you found this video helpful! :)
Me too!

I used to do nails years ago..
And I always had trouble with lifting and didn’t know why...
It drove me nuts!
Now I know why and it makes sense..
I am a newly to all things nail related and have learnt so much watching your videos. Thanks for being so down to earth and keeping things simple and straightforward. Back to practising.
I don't know how I got here, but it was fun. I regret nothing.

Keep practising and you will get better, I promise!💅😊
I’m currently in cosmetology school and you are a lifesaver! Thank you.
That's the exact reason for my lifting issue! Far too much at the cuticle. You're such a good teacher. I'm saving the vids I need to a playlist I can refer to when I do my own nails xx
So happy to see that people find our videos helpful! x

Mil gracias aprendí mucho con la traducción del video🥰🥰🥰
This is the best vid I have seen that shows and explains that process. THANKS FOR SHARING!

I just love you! you're positively adorable and your videos make something that seemed so complicated...totally doable!! Thank you for your help!
You are the best and the baddest nail tech I have ever seen. Thank you so much for sharing and teaching.
Let me tell you that these nails are gorgeous and experience has made you an awesome artist girl
When she said she doesn't know one person who doesn't pick at lifting I looked at my thumb which I had just picked at lol
No, when she said that I nearly shouted "me, me! I don't pick at them!" at the screen. But I bit my nails 🤦🏼♀️til I was 16, so I've spent the last 20 years trying to keep them nice!

So that's why my nail guy smacks my hand and yanks my finger down 😭
I love u so much naio nails! I always come back to ur videos! Even ur older ones lol. U teach me so much as a new nail tech and I'm thankful that u are here to help with these problems! Again I love u and your videos! Your the best💜💜💜

M new to the business,your videos are making me more perfect day by day..didn't learn much coz in my country don't hav good training institute..
Thank you for this video. This is what I'm struggling with the most.
ok, im a guy with lots of experience with painting miniature dioramas, cars people etc and im wondering why does painting nails look so hard??? and whats with the paint??? I reckon with a decent hobby paint u could get perfect coverage in one stroke? IDK, what am i missing????
PS great work... ive got sucked into airbrushing with stencils on my wifes nails
RC Revelation it is!! Lol 😂
I think it's because nails are much more smaller surfaces lol
It might be because it's a human body part so it's harder to control lol idk tho lol
I just try this and it made a big difference!! So perfect! Thank you so much!☺️☺️☺️☺️🙏
Thank you for this lesson. I have been practicing the beads and you are so right about the bead application. Please keep up teaching the techniques💕💕 you are such a blessing💕
