French Manicure On My Mum - Sculpted Nail Tutorial

[@aunnaw7134]

Kirsty’s mum has such nice natural nails

[@meghanworkman6449]

I was just thinking the same thing.

[@shellbellexx3]

What a lovely video! I love how verbally and physically delicate you are with your mom. You can tell how much you love and respect her and how proud she is of you. Her nails came out beautiful. This video made my heart very happy ❤️😍🥰

[@laurenhibbitts952]

I love how different Kristy is with her mom around she was so quite and relaxed vs when days in the seat :)

[@carltongirl95]

Kirsty you need to do your Mum's nail's more often I love the banter between you both...beautiful set of French nail's ty for sharing 💜💅💜

[@vivianlewis7230]

You're mum's nails look so pretty afterwards! She seems to be humorous just like yourself. How fun it must have been to do your own mother's nails.

[@shanithompson5131]

Your mum sounds lovely!!

[@jadepflug2312]

Oh my gosh I'm glad I found this video. I'm in nail school now and we're working on sculpted French nails, but they're teaching us to put the white down first. I've been struggling a lot with getting my smile line right so I'm gonna try it this way and see what happens!

[@marvadavis8194]

So cute the way you did your mom nails 💅 and did not fuss. Love it. 💕

[@mrs.diannalynn1383]

You r the best ? I soo love all your videos and technique but, u r a riot also, when I am down I can count on u to bring me to a happy place. Thanks for all u have given me during a really hard time in my life,, I am dealing w\ cancer and u r a great support for me. Luv ya bunches and basketful s.

[@calichef1962]

Best wishes to you, Mrs. Annie. I had a malignant tumor once, so I understand how low one can sometimes feel about it. I was lucky and the surgeon got all of the tumor, accidentally because he didn't even know it was a tumor when he removed it. After I got the pathologist's report I had to go to an oncologist and he said the surgeon managed to get all of the tumor with two cell walls between the incision and the first malignant cells. I was very lucky that day, both because I had the best son in the whole world, and because he refused to be born and forced a cesarean. The surgeon would never have been involved, and would never have seen my "funny-looking" appendix if my son hadn't refused to come out into the world, and I'd probably have been dead a long time ago. I mean, they don't check 20-somethings for colon cancer. My son is 34 now and is not just my son, but he's my best friend in the whole world, too. I've been lucky and never had any other instances of cancer.

I love your moms voice. Sounds so lovely

[@damarismelinaferrera]

She has lovely hands and great natural nails!

[@molinateresa44]

I lost my mama back in December... you made me remember the times that i did her nails. Really good memories, thanks to bring them to my attention. Love you mum's voice very sweet. Beautiful set as always!!!

[@virginiacuevas4259]

Your mum is adorable... i live that you are so loving with her. Beautiful as always ❤ 💖 💕

[@VioletsVisions]

I enjoyed this video. You are so sweet and lovely with your Mom. I appreciate how you explain exactly why and how you are doing her nails. Thank you! I love watching and learning from you.

[@ryandeakin5878]

How lovely to see what a loving caring relationship Kirsty has with her mum 😊

[@pipr5070]

Love your Mum’s sense of humour.

[@Nutka456]

Fascinating about the Wedgewood and other pottery! Maybe someone watching this has a family heirloom gilded by Kirsty's mom!

[@cynthiat6505]

I used to do Mama’s nails. She loved 40’s style pointy nails. So sweet! I miss it. She was totally adorable!

[@michelleadamchak1330]

And now there's another reason to visit Stoke-on-Kent....for Wedgewood pottery, and get my nails done by the world renowned Kristy Meakin. Bucket list goals for sure! Your Mum is simply delightful!

[@donnielledavis6643]

Beautiful job Kirsty. I know your mom feels proud to wear your creative art. And you do have your mom's lovely hands.

[@leonagoodison5415]

Can't go wrong with the classic French it suits all ages and is a timeless classic, amazing job as per Kirsty xx

[@donnal.roberts2097]

You two are just precious!!! LOVE LOVE LOVE!

[@ChrystalMagic]

I just watched the one stroke purple and lime green Russian almond set from last year. Mind blowing. Your grand dad was right to think you'd be an artist! You're amazing!

[@samanthamoseley9450]

Aww your mom is so precious!!! And she was right your an amazing artist

[@suzejohnify]

I really wanted to see what Kirsty's mum looked like cause I reckon they might be peas in a pod! 😍

[@cp1487]

I'm picturing pink hair for some reason. 👩‍🦰💓💅

[@kathbeth43]

Still the best teacher ever! *HUGS* I remeber putting the white on first. But only if I were doing a beige color french. I'm going in September so I know all about putting the white on first if doing a french style nail which I still love to this day.

[@beanybigguns]

I'm still stuck in the dark ages...still do the white first! Been doing nails for 26 years, so I'm struggling swapping techniques. I'll keep trying 😊 lovely set on your mum 👌🏼 have a great day xx

[@gymeni]

justine brownlow I actually prefer the traditional way of doing it but am not against the reverse method. I think it takes longer to do it the reverse way, also.

[@MommyOfZoeAndLiam]

Interesting, as a non nail person it looks much harder to do white first. Does it make it easier because the white is setting white you start the pink and then the pink it's faster due to the heat from the nail bed so they are ready to pinch at the same time?

[@deltasaves]

As of when I went to cosmetology school (2011) they were still teaching us doing the white first. I struggle with changing up myself.

[@michelleparker9919]

I hit like before I even watch...yer that’s right 💪🏼 I’m bloody confident I’m going to loveee it

[@calichef1962]

I always hit the "like" or thumbs up right away, too! Even when I don't like the design or colors the model has chosen I still hit the like button because I learn just as much from the videos with styles and/or colors I'm not so fond of as I do sets I would wear myself.

[@iladybug57]

Beautiful and your Mum seems so lovely! I love you precision when you do nails. I think your one of the best! Too bad your not in the USA

[@sueho688]

Love, love, love your mum's gorgeous nails and your marvelous laughs!!!

[@gilliansalmon6812]

Kirsty girl you did it again another knock out set of nails and on your Mom, it would of been nice to see your Mom just to see if you look like her I love your work and you have inspired me to have a go which isn't easy being disabled but I love my nails they aren't very good but I love them and I have you on my laptop with you teaching me step by step every time I do them many thanks for being ssssooooo good and patient take care cos I care hugs to your lovely girls Jill xxx

[@lucyespino2342]

Just love watching you do your mom's nails and hearing Adam ask the questions that some people probably won't even ask he's so into it it's awesome

[@rosemiller2511]

Very cool. I love it when you included your loved ones, it makes for a lovely video.

[@andreawhisenant2718]

Beautiful!! I’ve been waiting to see a whole pink and white set done.

[@miriroses1563]

I love you doing your mom's nails!!!!

[@WintrBorn]

Omg... the more things change! I work in a factory now, and for a long time I’d work and watch KZbin. I’d love to hear more from Mom. I saw Time Team dig up the old Wegewood factory, love to hear more about it!

[@calichef1962]

I'd love to hear more about the Wedgwood factory, too. Wedgwood china is a big status symbol in the US. Many brides pick a certain pattern of Wedgwood china for their bridal registries.

[@tinalicouze]

I still like old fashion way of doing. I prefer both. Ur mum's nail looks so beautiful 😍😍

[@Brave_As_A_Mother]

This video was extremely helpful for me! I have taught myself everything I know about doing nails from watching your videos. Thank you 🙏🏻

[@wightqueen3419]

[@danaaaaax2540]

I’m training to be a nail tech and I love your videos! Aspire to be as talented as you xxx

[@maggieonsecurity]

[@LadyFrosti]

[@amichellep82]

I want these! But I would ask for some cute flowers and some bling. Just a touch. So beautiful! ❤️ I love watching you and Adam. Y’all seriously make my day. Thanks so much for the laughs and the out takes. 😂🥳

[@dinalou8827]

Love how your hands are like your mums, mine are identical to my mums too, give or take a few years. And I’m mega freckly too! Love your work x

[@pinkfluffybananaify]

Love these, I miss the plain but beautiful nails, nails that look like nails. Lovely to see x.

[@carrieemery9974]

Your Mum has such a Sweet voice

[@SuesPilesOfShame]

Aww lovely nails, and lovely time spent with mum. x

[@Sonailicious]

Pure perfection! I'm sure your mum received lots of compliments on her beautiful nails 😍

[@juliejarrett6866]

Thanks this video will help me with my sets I have to do for my course.... And I can't wait to receive your products to do it with

[@dawnstephens9751]

This was beautiful! I lost my mom to cancer... I miss her daily. Y’all are so cute together it reminds me of how my mom and I were together. Special ❤️😁 I love your artistic talent and the fun videos! You inspire me.

[@Imokanurnot]

An absolutely beautiful job (as usual), and your mom is just totally adorable!!

[@franshoemaker3904]

Kirsty, just wanted to let everyone know that uses foil to try your nail foil glue. I purchased it just recently and it is amazing! I was having so much trouble getting my foil to stick and come off clean with out some of it not sticking and looking patchy. With your nail glue no problem at all. My foil was absolutely perfect. Props to Naio Nails for continuing to come out with great products, please keep them coming.

[@feliciajolly9964]

I so wish I could come watch a session in person! I taught myself how to do nails during this covid 19 pandemic strictly by purchasing supplies on Amazon and watching mostly only your videos! (A few others because you do a lot of sculpting and I use tips currently!) I've gotten pretty good, although I've only ever done my own nails, and one other friends nails besides my rubber practice hands! I love your technique, your personality, and your products!! I owe my nail tech journey to you solely! Thank you love! All the way from New Jersey, USA!! ❤️❤️❤️

[@sandyj1561]

Mums hands look so pretty xxx

[@jennifercabreros5422]

I’m such a huge fan of yours Ms.Kristy

[@BreathofSpring24]

Awwwww Mum is so sweet! 😀

[@mreneekennysqueen6137]

I actually learned something besides nails in this video. Thanks Mum

[@pinkbutterflies1679]

Beautiful. You’re mom is adorable. 😃❤️

[@tamaraR164]

BeAutiful set! I love me a classic pink and white French !!!!😍

[@cynthiawebber6468]

Hi to your mom, Kirsty! She sounds like a lovely lady. I can see where you get your loveliness from. Her nails are fabulous! Adam, you've learned quite a bit, haven't you? I like how you've been involved, even when you're behind the camera, asking questions, making some suggestions, etc. You could probably do some nail sculpting yourself, with Kirsty guiding you.

[@jeannehaile8465]

Hi Kirsty's Mum! Beautiful set; and they DO suit you. Lovely. My mother and I have very similar hands as well. But, my grandmother and I had/have identical hands, right down to our slightly crooked pinky fingers. She said it meant we're as dumb as foxes 😄 Thanks for the fun video. Hope to see more of you, Kirsty's Mum. It'd be great to see more ideas for women with "mature hands".

[@calichef1962]

Oh, Kirsty! Your mother is LOVELY!!! Please bring her back! I'd love to hear more about the Wedgwood factory, and your childhood! I also LOVE how this French mani came out! I'm not a fan of the whole "extended nail bed" thing. I don't like when the "nail bed" pink extends past the fingertip. I guess I just like my acrylic nails to look like they _could_ be my real nails, just without the ridiculous cuticle to tip arch that would wrap all the way around my fingertips if they were allowed to grow five or six centimeters long. A few of them also twist in a sort of corkscrew fashion. I only know this because I have worn acrylic overlays for years at a time without breaking them. I always feel sad when I have to cut them back because the curve and twist are just too much to look nice.*Edited for clarity.

[@korinaslack9733]

Aww Your Mom's voice was so precious.... Next time would love to see her .If She is shy thats ok . Do you two look a bit a like? Love this video with your Mom. Your Mom's and Yours hands are just beautiful . You sure made her hands sparkle❤

[@JodiesSideEye]

Hi Kirsty's Mum! Beautiful nails. I've not watched the full video yet but I wonder what your mum thinks about her daughter being a teacher and inspiration to millions around the world?

[@Mrzsandy1980]

beautiful nails and your mum is lovely she sounds so sweet

[@jennifers9016]

My dream is to have Kirsty do my nails... Lovely video with your lovely mum! You sound similar too!

[@julianneaitch]

Awwww wanted to see your Mum!

[@brandyjenkins1429]

Love the video!!! Beautiful nails !! Very classy look for your mom!💯💯 loved the bloopers at the end!!! 😂

[@annjones3672]

Favorite thing about Mum's work was break time! Mine too! She's great!

[@TheSiobhan12]

Mum and you both have such lovely hands!!! Loved her natural nails as well ( a wee bit more to be honest) to be fair though you did a gorgeous job. Mum is lucky to have you at the ready to make her look like a true stun hun. 😉💖💅🏻

[@holly5122]

I wanna come across the pond from America to have you do my nails 😍😍😍

[@ProserpinePomegranate]

Very beautiful set of nails,so pretty and feminine. I agree that Kirsty and her Mum have the same hands, people say that about my hands and my mum's very similar. I think Kirsty and her mum sounds very similar too.

[@thatswhatshesaid.literally737]

😄👍 *I always wondered why this was called the "reverse" french method. The other way being the "original" method seems odd, like putting the cart before the horse type situation. Lol* 😂

[@MommyOfZoeAndLiam]

She Who Knows All me too, when I hear reverse, I actually expect it to be the original way before I remember that's considered original. Because why on Earth would you do it the other way? All I can think is that it was about setting up the length first and maybe having the dry time be the same since the heat from the nail bed would cause the pink to et faster than the white..?

[@justjona3968]

Love this video. I like short nails and you've explained so much. Can you please do more. Like shaping

[@lanettecox7442]

Wow, your mom worked at Wedgewood applying guilding. Thats so awesome❣ Both my kids are artist like me. Great nails too.

[@susan3448]

I've never commented on your videos before (although I love them...not a nail professional, but love to see your techniques). This was lovely.

[@kjakjames3523]

Can I just say thanks for being awesome 😎 and can I ask if there is ever a chance that you would ever come down under to Australia 🇦🇺

[@esmeraldahutchinson7319]

Love you Christy. You do beautiful work. Wish you were in the US, Corpus Christi, Texas. Sparkling City by the Sea.

[@davidsueellenking456]

💕 this. Your mum is a good sport 😸

[@LbEternity]

I wish I had your mum’s natural nails. They’re perfect. Love the set u did but given I’m now allergic to acrylics and gel I’d def love those. 😋

[@marytapia8024]

Wonderful tutorial. Educational for sure

[@ladyscorpsmom]

I love the clean and simple look. Hi Kirsty's Mum!!!

[@PipsNails]

Your mum sounds so sweet ❤️

[@pamelarenee5294]

Kristi, that pink on your left hand is so vey complimentary to your hand and skin tone, I love it! I didn't think red heads could wear pink but now I'm definitely giving my Mom a set (if she'll let me🤣)!
