So today we're going to do a quick and simple design. I mean it requires a bit of technique not for it's kind of cool. So we're going to do it anyway.
So I am using Aleana Hand, she has come out to play.
we're going to use the base coat. Now the base coat is going to give you maximum adhesion. It would help if you barely had any. So you need to splay the brush and let that go on super, super thin And then we're going to cure that for 30s.
And I'm going to use two colours today that are from a brand-new collection that I absolutely love. We're going to use these two colors so New York by day and L.A. by night.
I'm going to use a fade brush as well in this design, which is our ombré brush. So it's dense at the bottom. And then you've got these feather-like tiny bristles at the top which can help you create a ombré. So I will show you the ombré. I'm here and I'm going to use the L.A. colour at the top. And I'm going to bring this down about halfway then I’ll cure that and move across to New York by night and I’ll do two coats of each of those.
Then I’m going to mix some Acrygel with some topcoat I’m using my spatula to mix that up and then spend that across the nail then I can use my Pammy Picker upper and score some texture into the paste and I'll cure that.
Now I'll use my chrome with a Rubber Dubber and I'll use the reverse side to remove any excess then I can use the base coat to fill in the spaces left by scoring I'll cure that and then finish this design off with a layer of topcoat and that's it! I hope you enjoyed the video and I’ll catch you in the next one! T’Rah Duck

You have such a pretty voice I like it when you sing when you’re do your stuff.. ❤ I usually hummmm😅

[@PyynkBOB]

I'm not in LA, but I am in Orange County, and it's only an hour from my place to your favorite Melrose shopping, so come on over!

[@alexandraframe6493]

You are so inventive, and I love it. What a gorgeous nail, the way the light plays with colour. You want to go to L.A. I want to come to England, I’ve been once. ❤

[@samleighton4165]

I love the way your creative brain works and what you come up with. This looks amazing!

[@carronmoreton9385]

I stayed in Bel-air (I don't remember how to spell) for 6 months. I used to cycle a lot, and liked West Wood.

[@tammywillis2623]

Very cool. Can always count on you for something different, unique, and educational. Thank you.

[@stefanbeltlaut]

Kirsty, you look so pretty with the shorter hair!❤

[@ambararreola5198]

Visiting Venice and living in Venice are two different things. You don’t want to live there lol. Take it from a California resident

[@babyblue806]

The only La I've been to is Louisiana lol....I would definitely love to go one day and Bora Bora oh my goodness but top on my bucket list is to come to you and let you have free range on my nails....nail techs here that I've been too kill my nails. I already have flat weak nails and they always burn me and it's never what I want that's why I quit having my nails done

[@rhondatucker4217]

[@xinemarie3687]

OoooO look good!!!❤❤❤!!! I love using Kiara Sky's monomer. I was wondering if anyone tried La Palm Mango Acrylic Solar Liquid? I see La Palm's spa products in stores, and see great reviews. But I haven't heard anything on their monomer. Thoughts???????

[@eileenjohnson3151]

So cal local for 63 years here, Venice is a s**t hole. Please visit the giant sequoia trees in Seqouia National Park or Yosemite about 6-8 hour drive north of LA, its gorgeous and worth the drive.

[@Nails_By_Kimberlee]

The nail art is gorgeous (of course!) but I'm really curious about the tip you used. It's such a gorgeous shape! Was it already that shape right out of the package or did you shape it yourself? If it's that shape already, I've *got* to have some for myself lol

[@susie6635]

The grass is greener on the other side. My dream is to retire in the country in England, I was born in and I live in L.A

[@naomipask1809]

LA was so overhyped. It looked so run down compared to what you see on TV. Venice Beach was interesting but the sand was dead flat and hard. Compared to the fluffy white sand here in Australia. It was okay to visit but would never live there.

[@riamapeach4714]

before the last coat it was kinda discasting! :}

[@riamapeach4714]

i will try it, it looks trippy!

[@meganshillinger8294]

You wouldn't want to live in those parts of Cali. The fun parts get old and then you have to deal with the unrated truth of how scrappy that state is. Beautiful parts of the state... but those aren't near LA. Fun place to visit though.

[@jasonhernandez4839]

FIRST🎉

[@babyblue806]

It went from 2 vibrate colors to a dull blueish gray...yes not very appealing for these beautiful colors

[@iplaywaytomuchogwartslegacay69]

wait did she say 45?
