How to Create the perfect French Smileline

Hi everyone,
It’s Kirsty and today I’m going to show you how to get the perfect smile line using gel polish.
I’m starting on a white, almond shaped nail. The nail must be perfectly shaped. Then we’re going to find the middle and place a small mark. Then think about how high the smile line is going to go and then do a straight line horizontally. Then find the half way point on the nail and mark that point, draw two straight lines to match up the two points, creating an A shape on the nail. Round off the corners and then you have the perfect smile line.
Do two coats of your base coat across the nail and cure. Take off the sticky layer to get the smile line perfect. Put the white onto backing paper and use a detail brush to make the marks we made before. Then fill in the sections of the smile line before adding in the curves. Cure the nail and then add a second layer of white. Cure and top coat the nail.
Hope you enjoyed this video, don’t forget to like and subscribe.
Love Kirsty

Please do more of these "idiot's guide" to nails. You just made creating a deep smile line absolutely fool proof.

[@jenniferhogan7347]

Thank you for breaking down the steps to create a French tip. I wish you would do the same thing, but on a shorter nail, and maybe not as deep a smile. Happy day to you all 😊💜

[@femketjeNL]

This is the most clear I've ever heard a french smile line explanation ☺️💕

[@mandicoleman7433]

My drafting instructor always told us the best way to make a straight line freehanded was to put ur pencil at ur starting point but look at the finish point... Works every time! 😉

[@rockinrobin932]

Were you here yesterday when a future client and I discussed a smile line? You are amazing!!! Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Now I can really do the perfect smile line thanks to you. I will show my future client that I can do it.

[@funkiichiicka]

Good visual for beginners. I find it so much easier and quicker to use the brush of the polish to try and get it as neat as I can and then use a small square nail art brush slightly dampened with alcohol/wipe off solution to swipe any mess and get the smile perfect.

[@juliasulinska1730]

finally straight theory about french smileline on youtube! i'm so happy that somebody drew a "smile construction" and it's amazing

[@KicksNLipsticks]

I need to see a salon style full set video using this method. Classic French needs to make a come back anyway 😍🔥

[@defythefunk3900]

I find any time is having trouble with something you have a video for it and it's so easy. You really are the best!

[@lauravaldez9715]

Hola hermosa me encanto esta clase del dia de hoy Agrafesco mucho tus enseñanzas te mando mis saludos y bendiciones desde la ciudad de Durango Mexico Bendiciones hermosa☺🤗

[@paulakoncki4029]

Ah! That is now a clever idea to mark it with little spots!! Why did I not think of it!! 🤗💞💅🏼🇿🇦

[@patriciagallacher6741]

Always said this using a pencil to mark out stuff is a great idea.the simple things are sometimes the best.

[@ilanasoussana9249]

thank you so muchhhh amazing tutorial 💅👌👌 will you consider to make a shaping tutorial as well? I am struggling with the shapes and I would highly appreciate any help I can get thank you

[@kozettestrauss1387]

Thank you for the clear explanation. I believe I will have better looking smilelines going forward. ❤️

[@lorainegreenhalgh5391]

Looks great but this would be much harder if done on an actual person

[@calichef1962]

Why? I'm genuinely curious. Is it because a person's nails are connected to a person's hand and arm? What can I say? Wrists turn, fingers break. ;-P jk, obvi.

[@lorainegreenhalgh5391]

@@calichef1962 it's easy to paint a nail when there's no side walls to get paint on. There for you and get really sharp corners and cleaner lines

[@patriciagallacher6741]

Just use a cork even s dancing band would work for a deep smile line.

[@emslyfe2613]

THANKKKK YOUUU‼️

[@vicki0145]

Kirsty that was blooming marvellous, I've been a nail tech for donkeys years & I gave up trying to do the '' perfect smile lines '' years ago, haha & I mean many years ago, I just cant do French nails. Its always been my weak area in nails, so I gave up, but I'm inspired again because of what you've just shown, its such a great idea, so I'm going have another go, keep those fingers X'd misses. Thanks hun Xv

[@margostephenson9048]

Love the white tips. ⛄️⛄️⛄️✨✨✨⛄️⛄️⛄️⛄️

[@gemachavez1283]

Everything on your hands looks pretty easy. Thank you 😊

[@Victoria_bunn_85]

I use French Nail stickers to get my smile line lol yes cheat but needs must haha xxx

[@calichef1962]

I have done French manis on myself freehand, but one or two are always off. It's easier with virtually any sort of round sticker, even one meant to reinforce binder paper holes.

[@patriciagallacher6741]

Such a great video!

[@reginal.thomas3709]

Oh suuuurrreee, make it look so easy lol. I better chill out on the coffee before attempting this lol.

Maravilhosa! Você é uma inspiração!

[@uschiweis5386]

Wow, thank you for explaining so detailed. So will this technique work with all nail shapes and lengths?

[@anitame85]

[@davidsueellenking456]

💅trying this today(polish chipped on one of my nails)thanks kirsty💝

[@davidsueellenking456]

Update-this makes the smile line so much easier to do. Thanks Kirsty💅💖

[@rosstocker1275]

Kirsty. I'm not no nail technician only what I've learnt from you(simply the best) doing these tubes..... My reason for learning is that my daughter 17 yr want' s her nail done all the time, "might i say is quite expensive all the time" and that's just plain old acrylics..... So hence me doing them for her myself..... Any way, my question it's????? What is the kindest way for her natural nails...... It's it tips with overlay? Or sculpting? I've ordered me forms to have a go at doing a Kirsty meakin sculpting nail...... "Well I'll have a try that is" in some fashion...... Hehehe😁😁😁😁😁

[@teresamorgan2192]

That makes so much sense!!! Is it the same when you're doing your own nails? You're amazing btw 😀

[@teressabetts913]

Omg this is so easy. Must try today

[@jacquelinedimattia774]

Thanks for sharing this technique Kirsty 😍

[@eddiezamora4335]

I love you videos Fom México 👌❤

[@TheLeaRaeShow]

So helpful! Can’t wait to try it

[@anitame85]

I did it on my own nails and it looks lovely

[@MsFresh619]

This has helped thanks Kirsty

[@juliechristie2105]

I used to use a dotted tool and it was easy to get a good smile, but I use a smal detailed brush now, it would be helpful if Kirsty would do a smile with normal polish as I struggle and refuse to do them, but would like a good explanation of how to do it. Its easier with gel as you've got time but with polish u haven't.

[@patriciagallacher6741]

Mix some gel with your polish,try a little and see how you like it.

[@Pappaspie1]

Thanks for the tutorial! It was very helpful!!

[@annaritacordovani5897]

Brava 💯👏

[@martawu1968]

Perfect😁

[@BABYGIRL4U1]

Please do on someone with small nail bed and short nail plzzzz also would u use acetone or alcohol to tidy? Xx

[@WorthyMissJ]

You would use gel residue wipe off solution or alcohol... This is in gel, after all.

[@jeksi303]

I love your videos ❤ you are the best 💋 please one video gothic almond with french and 3D acril

[@tuwandalopez962]

I’m going to try this technique 😍

[@cynthiawebber6468]

Excellent "how-to" video, Kirsty! You could do it, too, Adam.

[@bethschmidt1304]

Love it 💕🌸

[@joyceboston5536]

Thanks Kristy.❤

[@angelar.williams951]

If I was doing that on the fly I would sure enough mess it up but if I took my time and focused, I would be able to do it. Even though it's almond shape it still looks like the front of a ladies dress shoe missing the heal, very chique

[@jacky8843]

Very helpful Thanks

[@ladydragon6854]

Straight line ha I couldn't draw a straight line to save myself and yes I'm that bad LMAO but I must say this is the best tutorial for a smile line I've seen xxx

[@lilgrrl2001]

I totally just watched this already....

[@lilgrrl2001]

I mean, it was a good video, I learned a lot... But I snoop a lot, and couldn't believe I missed to alert about it, watched it, loved it.. Then was shocked that it JUST popped up!!

[@monicaprice2325]

Do you have a video of nail piercings? If not, I'd love to see your take on that.

[@jennydedman3293]

What actual detail brush do u use the lease ?

[@hennys5549]

Cool tip! TY :)

[@ezselita5412]

Everyone that’s going to follow this method is going to think of Adam every time they draw the A 😂😂🤣🤣🤣 Adam your famous lols

[@amandajingleheimerschmidt8986]

Hi Kirsty: If you and Adam are still taking questions for the Q & A video, here’s one... When you reacted to your BirdBox challenge video, you cringed at how much acrylic got on your hands and mentioned that it was super bad for your skin. My question is why is it okay for pedicureists to get it on your skin when they build an extension on or repair a toenail?? Try watching a video by Neo Trix on KZbin if you need an example. Thanks for your help 🤓

[@TreasureForeverOfficial]

Hmm I thought you called this baby boomer but what that is just an ombre... do you do ombré with polish ever or just acrylic?

[@patriciagallacher6741]

She has other videos of doing ombres with gel too.

[@jofearn245]

can you use this same technique with acrylic?

I love yours videos but i m french and i would like some subtitles 😩😩😜😘😘😘

[@aquarius9900]

can anyone help me ...when i apply gelpolish i always get a little bevel edge around the nail of the gel polish it seems... what am i doing wring?

[@WorthyMissJ]

Cap your edge first, then fill in. If you cap your edges last and then cure, they don't settle with the rest of the product, leaving a ridge around the edge of the nail. Also, be sure you have completely prepped the ENTIRE nail - bed, cuticle, any tip you've applied needs at least a thorough buffing and blending, cleanse, dehydration, primer... Then, work on your base, color/polish and top coat. If even one step is off, it'll sometimes cause rolling/edge ridges/lifting. And, remember, gel hates dust and moisture!

[@patriciagallacher6741]

The nail hub had a good video on gel application that may help. Instead of pulling the polish over the tip turn your brush around and cover the tip going from tip to near the cuticle. Or if its gel top coat before curing you can wipe away the excess gel polish before curing, seen Liz acrylic nails do this a lot. Let me know how you get on.

[@kathykov1]

The outcome is absolutely gorgeous. But I'm worried that this is going to take us an extra hour to do this method.

[@patriciagallacher6741]

Use a small cork or a sanding band is good for a deep smile line.

[@corasworld9636]

I can do it without using any pencil. This takes ages to do
