Acrylic Overlay Soak Off - Natural Nails 6 Months Growth

[@joannahelmer5637]

This video was very educational your not just doing nails you are explaining everything in great detail. I truly enjoy watching your videos because you go in depth and do more than just entertain. Thank you for being awesome Peace and love to you and your family 💙🧡💙🧡💙

[@dear_totheheart]

Was surprised at how informative this was, fantastic tips and advice in general whether a professional or doing it at home. Oh and if you haven't already, I would highly appreciate advice/guidance on how to grow strong, long nails because no matter what I do they are brittle/crack and are naturally very weak, like paper-thin. Looking forward to your future videos, thanks so much for your great teaching

[@OmneyasWISH]

OMg, my heart was beating so fast when you were pushing on her nails and they were bending.

[@CraftyLoops]

My natural nails are pretty long like Andrea's but mine are a very even colour....but boy of boy do they twist! You only think Andrea's twist....mine are mental, lol. They twist so, so much, it's crazy. So I am glad to hear that adding product can actually help with that. The twisting in my nails drives me absolutely bonkers. Fantastic video, thanks so much Kirsty. Lee xx

[@Nails_By_Kimberlee]

Omg just imagine you're doing nails in a salon and THE Kirsty Meakin walks in! 😱😱😱 I'd be nervous af lol 😅 Edit - am I the only one who sees a screaming face in the free edge of Andrea's ring finger (at about 28:50)?

[@liliq219]

I've been hoping to see more pre-prep (product removal, etc) tutorials so, thank you so much for this. I absolutely 💜💙💜 your work!!!! ✨💅🏽💙

[@izzyforever4760]

I've had long natural nails for a long time over 8 years maintained them without acrylic or gel I use really good oils good basecoats for my nails I know my nails so I know what work for me

[@cynthiahazebroek4281]

Such a great video. My nails are as soft and bendy as Andrea’s, maybe even softer. So I need to take of the product very carefully, otherwise I wreck my nails completely. The other day I took my Christmas nails of and my own nails were looking better than ever before. Maybe because I have a new and better e-file that takes of my acrylic better than my other e file.

[@krismonty1234]

Oh my goodness how I LOVE your outfit!! Pink and pearls against your hair color and pretty face! .. and the background.. you’re so esthetic, today and I’m here for it!! Oh and even the mannequin!! ALSO yes, I truly enjoy your nail videos! Have one awesome day today ! .. no , I’m done now.😂👋🏻💕💅🏻

[@camellasoupen7042]

Awesome video very good analysis on the natural nail... kirsty just 1 question for you tho. Do you advice that we should keep a thin layer of acrylic on the nail as a protective layer? Would really love your perspective on that. Thank you

[@michellesutton202]

Thank you so much for the great informational video. I was told long time ago that the twisting was from pinching while the acrylic was being sculpted. I'm so so happy to learn otherwise, I only had two that twisted like Andrea's nails. I no longer got my nails pinched, and I always have had tips put on ever since.😓😓🤩🤗🤗🤗💅🎨✨💓💓

[@jennylawley2956]

hi kirsty i love watching your videos since ive been watching ive started an on line course i started last year and im just got one more assignment to do so far ive passed all the ones ive completed then have to send in my work what ive done im 62 and thought i was to old but iam really enjoying it just love watching you work xx

[@martineleygue2316]

Bravo super magnifiques kristy bisous de la France bisous Martine 👍👍👏👏💅💅😘❤💋⚘🥀🌷🌹🌹🇫🇷🇫🇷

[@georginaarnold9232]

I'm trying to grow my own nails. Glad I watched this video. So like you said keep short and build my nails if and when you wish.

[@alexandraframe6493]

That was very informative and I enjoyed it very much. What if on your thumb nail has raised lines going up the base of the nail. Is it bad?

[@PaolaHernandez-xo5vr]

Seeing you bend the nails gave me so much anxiety 😂

[@hollybyrd6186]

I would love to stroll through Kristy's closet, that outfit is just too cute

[@f.e.8313]

Love all the info in this video! Andrea and I must be related, my nails grow just as hers do 🤣❤️.

[@babiik711]

15.04- nail porn lol I been watching you for soooo love I love everything about you an your channel! You are so beautiful! Soo wish I could get my nails done from you😊💜😝

[@that11girl]

I’m going to show this video to my client who has acrylic overlay on her natural nails but the pointer fingers really curl in and the longer they get the harder it’s becoming to correct the shape but she’s so proud that her natural nails have gotten so long 🥲

[@Menbob1997]

Thanks Kirsty really useful vid , and very educational and very well explained in depth how to file off , soakoff nails thanks x

[@ettajames4303]

I love watching your videos ever since you were naio nails. Could you please tell me what would you recommend underneath I get an acrylic overlay on my 1in natural nails as well. But they never put it on thick enough. I am going in for a soak-off in 2 weeks. So I'm wanting to know what could I ask them to put underneath to add more strength?. Thank you love you do very beautiful nails

[@SarahLBanks]

Great advice Kirsty ty. Is Andrea right handed? Is the twisting where the pen would be resting when she writes? 🤷🏼‍♀️

[@amyh553]

My index finger nails are SO twisted it does my head in because I love square nails and they always look off😭😭 so annoying

[@ladyessexlioness]

This as really been educating I think if my nails ever got that long and I had to cut them off I’d cry but then again I see what u mean starting from scratch but then I was thinking what if u do this and 2nd time round they keep growing the same would it mean they could never have own nails unless keep short square mind I wish it was u doing my nails awesome video thanks so much 🥰🥰🥰💅🏻

[@nickydavidson5549]

I could use many words but none are better than "THANKYOU" 💐😘

[@loukalicious]

Yess extremely usefull! Thanks so much Professor Meakin. Really appreciate the knowledge.

[@queryalways]

Thanks for this video :) My nails fold vertically straight down the middle in the vertical lines, none of the Drs know why, just that they always follow the vertical ridges, then they become weak and eventually split down into the nail bed. I now have my natural nails either really very short all of the time, or I have gel overlay on to protect the nails. I wish I knew the cause :( Tip to matrix, I have a fault, same fingers (left hand pinky & fore fingers); right hand thumb. Been that way for years.

[@tessaferard7978]

My nails do that too and then I file them to fix it and ruin it because I end up over filing them because you can see the mistake when I add product. I thought it was just me

[@itsacarolbthing5221]

I think the twisting is from clenching our fists in the womb and as we sleep.

[@kristicollett7887]

My left hand has a really great curve downward, especially my pointer. I love my claw shape. My thumbs don't curve though. My right hand curves, but not as much. Some people prefer straight nails, but I hate when one of my nails break and I have to use a tip. Too straight for my taste

[@Baggins_lover]

Me too! I love my curved nails, I have good C curves too, they’re really strong!

[@mintyblue3819]

Right, most nails naturally curve as they grow. I like the natural shape most people seem to despise. I'm actually growing mine out just so I can have the right shape, extensions never look right IMO.

[@krisamontoya]

Such an amazing video. Very informative as always.

[@kezzabear87]

I am so excited for andreas new nails 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

[@pastelunicorn6981]

When are the metal centre boards back in stock 😭😭

[@rebeccarowlands3016]

I was amazed to find that Australia- in particular Western Australia has no laws about using MMA! Never again will I go to a salon! I was wondering why they always had a very particular smell! I’m hoping to start my own nail biz from home this year 🤞🏼 can you put up some education on your Insta that is shareable about MMA vs EMA? Love you! ❤️ obsessed with your videos xx

[@TheCupofthea]

Hi where is the update ? I wish to see this 😊

[@shaunacorrigan9372]

This is exactly why I gave up on my natural nails and started wearing full cover tips. I just couldn't deal with the wonkiness, it was too much!😅

[@blueautumn5058]

Its very sweet and kind of you to share your craft, Its lovely of you to be so generous and caring, Thank You - Your awsesomeness is so beautiful, You are a very pretty lady, Thank You Xx

Thank you for this education. It was like looking aty own hands.

Great video. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us. Can’t wait to see what is next.

[@lowndsjcb]

Great video! But can we just take a second to appreciate the outfit 😍

[@wildflowersnhoney209]

I usually drench the cuticle/finger with cuticle oil BEFORE the soak off to help keep away the witches fingers. LOL

[@carriefiddler4270]

My natural nails twist and bend in weird places when I let them grow out too.

[@shelleyjoseph226]

I don't know why you need to take the product off the nails every so many months. I have been having my nails on for 40 plus years and the product has been ofg three times.

[@carriefiddler4270]

The acrylic doesn't last forever. The product starts breaking down and weakening after awhile. It's suggested to completely remove acrylic and apply fresh acrylic at least once every 6 months.

[@MrsJolene-]

@@carriefiddler4270 so that's why! I was wondering why. But with shorter nails, and fast growing ones, it will never be on for 6 months. My nails grow sooo fast rn, I need to redo them every two weeks. I'm taking extra vit D and that makes a huge difference.

[@margaretgillham7737]

Thanks kirsty . Very interesting.

[@sheila7909]

It takes for at least two hours to soak off both hands 🙌 what am I doing wrong? They are a little thick

[@lynnrahl3352]

Remove most of the bulk with a file or efile, then soak off.

[@sheila7909]

@@lynnrahl3352 I do that but it still takes super long

[@lynnrahl3352]

@@sheila7909 are you using 100% acetone? That is a must. Also make sure you've removed most of it with a file leaving only a small amount to soak off. Make sure the pad is super saturated with the acetone. It shouldn't take too long.

[@sheila7909]

@@lynnrahl3352 yes 100% acetone and I always saturate the pad. It might be my eflie are the bit. I always see the Neil Tachs saying “that will be soak off for 10 minutes” and here I am waiting an hour, it’s super frustrating. Thanks for your advice x

[@KirstyMeakin]

Make sure you soak for 10, then remove anything that is soft. Then reapply pad and acetone and repeat. sometimes it can take a while. The other thing could be that it's MMA and not EMA

What advice would you give for brittle hard nails that won’t stop breaking?
