How to Correct a Fanned Nail with Natural Acrylic Overlay - Naio Nails Tutorial manicure transparent

Hi Guys,
So, my cousin Kelly CLEARLY gets neglected by me, in the nail department that is! So in today's video I am rectifying that little issue. She has a few nails that, when they grow, they fan out a little. It's a problem that a lot of people face, and honestly, it's not the worst problem ever and I'm going to show you just how easy it is to fix!
It's so easy to do AND you won't even be able to tell that it's got any acrylic on, it will look so natural it will deceive even the most Eagle-eyed of you out there!
If you have any other issues similar to this that you think I can help you with make sure to leave a comment below and if we get enough people asking the same question, we'll do a video!
Love,
Kirsty xxxx

Do any of you guys have any issues similar to this that you think I can help you with? If we get enough people asking the same question, we'll do a video on it!

[@Hannah-yf2yr]

Not at all to do with nails, but my question is how have you got those gorgeous holo strips in your hair and how can I do it to mine?

[@michaelpaul92]

Have you already done a video on short/bitten nails? If not then I would like to see that one! :) Love your videos.

[@Arianrhod33]

Is it the same fix with gel?

[@SgathaichFey]

I’d love to see a video of how to manage nails with extended hyponychium (not sure if I spelled that right)

[@sophiebell4758]

Naio Nails mhm maybe i have something u can help with. I do my nails for a year know but there is always one thing that bothers me. The c-curve of my thump and index finger isn't very strong but these of my other fingers are different. They have a really strong c-curve and when i do an almond shaped nail or a stiletto thats not really really long the side walls just Look like... I dont know how i can call it... Imagine a cake or something and u part it in three the corner in the middle. I dont get the tipp of the nail low enough that i can keep the side walls straight. I hope u can understand what i mean ^^` and maybe give me some advice how i can fix this Probleme

[@Emiliapocalypse]

Dang, my nails are even wider than hers. Now I have something new to be self conscious about haha

[@BrbFeedingMyUnicorn]

When I first started growing out my nails, they would fan out to the point where my c-curve would be flat...I fixed this by always wearing a coat of nail polish and moisturizing my cuticles and under-nail with oil. I noticed that if I didn’t wear nail polish, my nails would feel super flat and would start to fan out again, so I always kept a coat or two no matter what. Now they grow out nice and straight with a defined c-curve!! Don’t give up, there is hope! 💅🏼

[@Sweetrihanna1]

Marta Girina thank you !!!!!

[@curateddaisies4128]

I think it's because of soaking in water too long that they fan out. Like baths, long showers and washing dishes without gloves. But nail polish stops to much water from getting in and is a hardened layer itself

[@4Teresa4Ever]

Mine too!!! When I wear polish the curl normally!

[@UnicornsPoopRainbows]

@@curateddaisies4128 It's a natural nail shape. A very weak one. I don't take long showers or baths, hands don't see much water outside of washing them a few times a day and they are VERY fan shaped. That being said, water definitely does NOT help the issue in the least!

[@marlousv]

Now I finally understand why my nails break easily. I file the fanned part off 😱

[@Twiholic913620]

So THIS is why my acrylic tips always looked odd. Some of my nails are fanned and the tech either files the sides down so my natural nails are inward under the tips or they dont do it at all and my nails look so wide. NYC nail salons for ya. Need to learn to do this myself LOL

[@Longhairprettynails]

Great tips! Thanks so much for sharing.

[@ceciliamaben]

All my nails are like this and my nails tends to bend and grow deformed when I gain length. The sides fan out and the center curl downward it’s so aggravating

[@esthermeabh3771]

Mine is the same. And I have wide nails too.

[@beckie1384]

Omg my do the exact same thing they are so ugly when they grow long but I have noticed that when they get wet in the shower they look perfect like in the video when they dry they look ugly.

Brilliant!!!! I’ve searched everywhere for the answer to what’s wrong with my right thumb - I’ve mastered forms on everyone else’s nails and 9 of my 10 fingers lol! Turns out my right thumb is naturally FLAT 🙌🏼 Thank you so much for your informative and entertaining videos! 💖

I have this problem on both my middle fingers. I’ve always wanted to fix it but didn’t know how. It’s like the nail gods blessed me with this in my suggestions today!

[@TheChelseaCate]

I would KILL for Kristy to do my nails!!! 😍😍😍💅🏻💅🏻💅🏻

[@jacoda]

I have fanned nails. I always called mine duck nails lol. When I get a new set they are pinched and perfect, but once they fully grow out and become and overlay, they look like surf boards lol. I always have to completely remove them and start over every few months to maintain the pinched look.

[@TanyaScorpio]

You just saved my life..i have a few nails that are fanned.. and I'm a beginner and tried hard gel. My nail looks like Fred Flintstone big toe.. fat and fanned. Also, I purchased this tool and watching you helped me understand what to do. Thank you again.

[@tamikajackson3044]

This is the best video I have ever come Across in regards to flat nails. I have flat nail beds and my nails are wide and grow upward. They are also week. I want a very natural overlay like you just did and enhanced c curve but can’t find anyone to do them yet. I learned a ton in 10 minutes. Wish you were in Maryland to help me!

[@janeayers6628]

That’s really nice to see it looking so natural

[@1974KAAR]

You just totally explained what is different from my fat fanned out nails compared too my mum's and sisters beautiful curved ones... who knew???

Thank you for all your videos! I'm learning how to do nails for just me and my family, and your in-depth technique videos are informative and incredible! I sincerely appreciated every video!!

[@beckie1384]

Ugh I can't wait to get this done on my nails whenever I file down the sides my nails always break now I know why this tutorial is a life saver for me my nails fan alot and they are wide, really wide. 😐

[@valkolakk]

Kirsty! You have explained my entire nail life in this video! My nails always crack or wear at the sidewall and now I know why. I've been trying to correct by taking away instead of pinching. Unfortunately I've switched to dip systems and I don't think they can be pinched really. Maybe since it doesn't seem to set up immediately even after the cure step.

[@brittanynichole5970]

This was EXACTLY what i needed. My middle and ring fingers fan out and look so ugg. They are also thin and break a lot. I dont want long nails tho, its just easier for me to have shorties, exactly like your model has. Using gel to shape and strengthen them is a fantastic idea, one that i can even do at home. Thank you ❤

[@mommylovesreality]

Thank you for posting this. I have this problem with mine, as well as a couple that arch downward as they grow out. So again, muchos gracias!!

[@sonyagower1720]

I love this tutorial and will be doing my natural nails soon. Hopefully this will help strengthen my fanned nails

Hi Kirsty, so glad you made this video! My mother in law has really fanned nails and I wasn’t sure what to do with them, but now I’d do! 🤓 thanks x

[@rafofocas]

This is so interesting! The difference from person to person. It’s absolutely beautiful to me the softest C curve possible, but some people don’t like it

[@Mibs-Mibby]

So that’s what it’s called! Fanned nails. I’ve always noticed my nails were shaped so weird compared to everyone else’s and never saw anyone with their free edge like that.

I need this right now! off to the nail salon!

[@Sister_Felinity_Imaculata]

Thank you so much for this. I've gotten acrylics for over 10 years, but I'm rarely happy with the c-curve that I am left with. I also have a couple of nails that fan, and they're the biggest culprits. I have never once seen 'pinching' done at the local salons, so I didn't even know how to explain to the nail tech what I wanted (there are serious language barriers). The shape of the finished nails are wide & flat, making my fingers look wide and stumpy. Not cute on anyone. Now I know the terminology to use that will hopefully communicate what I want to the tech. Better & higher arch, and a tighter c-curve by pinching. THANK YOU!

[@jacquelinedimattia774]

Great tutorial ☺️

[@polarbear9848]

can you do the same video in gel please? can you do a video in broad flat nails too?

[@cassieLBscoville]

Polar Bear It’s the exact same process with gel. Instead of letting it cure for the full 60 seconds, flash cure it, take it out and pinch it while it’s still pliable.

[@RandeT73]

I love your work. I keep natural nails. I normally have a natural tight C curve. But I shut my middle finger in my truck door one day a couple years ago and ever since that nail grows fanned out a little. I went to file it to make it look like it used to, 3 days later its snapped. So I learned the hard way, not to file it out.

How do I blend the acrylic into the back of the nail making it lool natural after cleaning up my cuticle? It doesnt blend well cause that fold is so deep.

[@emtims1670]

Use some kinda cuticle oil every time you get your nails wet. Also, keep some kind of polish on you natural nail.

[@MZB80]

Zinc and iron are really important, as is adequate protein intake. Your body can't grow strong tissues without a good foundation of nutrition (yes, I spend my days teaching people to eat vegetables and drink enough water).

Thank you for sharing thats very helpful

[@brittanywong-boleman627]

My nails are super fanned and flat, and the ones that do curve have a more severe c curve, looks more like a v than a c, then have an angle to them and fan out rather than coming out straight. Is that fixable? Fanned nails that appear to tilt? Assuming that if i fixed the fanning it would mostly solve the problem...

[@dessyvalcheva]

this is very useful, thank you

[@karijohnson3187]

[@ailaka1925]

Will this train the nail over time? I got a really bad hangnail on my left middle finger in grade school, and it got infected. It took so long to heal that the nail ended up growing in wider now on one side. So it makes it look crooked and wide when I get my nails done. Would doing this eventually train the nail, or will I still have to pinch?

[@lindsey9094]

all my nails have a nice c curve. until you get to the middle finger. the nail just fans out and it’s so annoying. i tried putting acrylic over to see if it would bend it and it worked, but then about a week later it fanned right back out. thank you for this video.

[@katedutchie]

I recently have got acrylic nails, for the first time, hoping it would strengthen and shape my nails. She did a beautiful job with the gel polish and design. Although, she didn’t do anything to help with my very flat and fanned nails. I asked for almond shape (because I thought it would additionally help with the appearance of the nail shape). She filed the side of my nails to give them more of a rectangle appearance and them applied the product. Then she finished by shaping them with a file and adding the coloured gel polish of top. I find the nails now look a wider and the fan shape more noticeable. And when I feel the under side of the acrylic it barely has any curve.

[@jillywilly6777]

Your amazing. I wont stop saying that

oh my god bless you for upload this i am absolutely plagued with fanned nails and i didn't know there was a fix at all for them. Will they start to grow with the proper curvature if you keep them like this long enough?

[@skyemarin9387]

Would the pinching tool work the same if it was put onto a natural nail with nothing on it? Or can you only pinch with acrylic???

[@hdb80]

So helpful. I have the most fanned nails I've ever seen.

does it train your nail to grow out as a C curve instead of fanned, or wilI be stuck with fanned nails?

[@NaioNailsOfficial]

Love you too!!! xxx

[@darktastee]

My nails are “fanned” to the point of having practically no c curve. They grow really long too, so when I just paint them they are much wider at the tip. I’ve thought about getting overlays to help make them look better, but how often would this type of correction need to be filled?

[@mercedesmartin1269]

Does anyone have any recommendations on how to find a good nail tech for stuff like this? Will any nail salon I drop into be able to do this for me and do a good job? Or should I be more mindful? I get like 3 manicures a year so I’m clueless on this. 😬

[@JulienArbor]

Can you use the pinching tool with a few layers of polish instead of acrylics? Thank you. 😊

[@hannalee8729]

Does this permanently fix the nail? Or do you constantly have to apply acrylic?

[@kristinasvubova2665]

Hi, I do have similar problem, my nails are really fanned and also I have a really short and flat nail bed. Actually I tried to fix it by filing but if I'm not careful I get more like a diamond shape because my nails are narrower at the cuticle. Could you please give me some advise how to sculpt them properly so they don't look bulky and wide fanned?

[@tessaferard7978]

Is there a way to correct it without acrylic?

[@cassieLBscoville]

Tessa M Ferard Gel! The natural nail won’t pinch on its own and hold it.

[@shinyshinythings]

Funny that's what I thought she was going to do when the video started. Never heard of pinching before!

[@kieralambert1579]

Use gel

[@kieralambert1579]

I think you can do this with nail glue and tweezers

[@Whatevsbabes]

Honestly, my nails fan a bit. If I wear just regular polish all the time they keep dehydrated and actually look pinched

[@NoeDactyl]

Whoops I always file my sidewalls 😅 Kirsty any advice to people who have nearly no nailbed? My nails always seem so short (even when the free edge is very long)

[@OG_HazelGrrl]

Noe Dactyl Same! I have short nail beds AND fanned nails- plus my natural nails are thin and bendy. I guess I won the genetic nail lottery. :(

[@l0rdofmisruleOFFICIAL]

Same here, fanned nails plus tiny nail beds means my hands always look childish and weird, plus they're always weak because until I saw this video I always filed my walls as well!

[@fai5734]

Fanned nails & soft. Using jojoba oil with a bit of pure vit e oil on nails (underneath too) plus always wear nail polish, even just one coat. I file my sidewalls & they’re not weaker

[@shinyshinythings]

Glad to know this. I use oil, always wear polish, and just recently started to gently file my sidewalls on a couple of fingers where they were sort of lightly fanning out. They have stayed really strong so far.

[@rfitz1238]

Where can I get the “nail pinching” tool and what is it called?

[@imalivetwentyfive]

Does this help long term or just while the acrylic is on the nail?

[@cooperwf2759]

Is the pinching something you have to ask for specifically? I have this problem too, and whenever I've had acrylics done, I've always kept them short, but always thought they looked too wide, but I've never had anyone offer pinching. Is it uncomfortable?
