How to do an Infill Using Dual Forms and Acrylic - Nail Tutorial

Hey Guys
In this video I'm going to be showing you how to fill in this set of nails, these toppits nails have been on for 7 weeks and the ones I did with the duel forms, and you guys have been asking how to fill nails that have been done with toppits, so today I'm here to give it a go.
So first I'm going to have to remove the stones and gel polish, I'll use a big pair of nippers and crunch them all off. After I have got all of the chunky bits off I'll use the E-file to get the polish off then move onto the cuticles as it has been a long time. So now I've done the cuticles I can neaten up the nails before adding product, I do this by filing where the acrylic meets the nail to smoothen it out.
Now the theory behind using dual forms is to sweep the product back and also a little forward as well as making it quite thin in some places and a little thicker in places that need filling the most, you can now add this to your nail and get rid of the excess acrylic which will also be on the underside of the nail.
After some time they will have set and you can take the dual forms off, you do this by wiggling them side to side and they should come free from the nail, some of them might be a little off depending on how well you applied the acrylic to the dual form but this can be fixed up later on which you can see in the video.
Right guys so that is how you infill a nail using dual forms, I hope you enjoyed the video, Leave a like and Subscribe for more Videos like this one, Drop a comment below on what you think of this nail and maybe even tag us on Instagram or Twitter if you give this a go yourself.
Love,
Kirsty xxxx

[@Longhairprettynails]

Great tips! Thanks so much for sharing your techniques.

[@happyloveray]

Kirsty, you should absolutely do live-steaming sessions every month, where you give us all a 3 hour lesson on specific techniques or competition techniques etc. I would live for those! Like if you agree!

[@jenniferhoward2127]

Beautiful as always! Thank you so much for your tutorials. About 3 mos ago, after being a nail tech for about a year and a half, I was discouraged because of lack of business and feeling like I wasn't good enough to do nails, and I decided I didn't want to try anymore. So I packed up my stuff and stored it all and decided to go back to medical transcription for a job. Wellll, I started watching your tutorials and it made me miss doing nails so much! You inspired me to go back to being a nail tech, which I really do love! I was hired at a very nice spa this past Friday to do nails. I feel like I've won a prize! Starting tomorrow and so excited to give it another go. Thank you!

[@carol29carnegie]

Good 😊 luck, x

[@lilied1]

Hey, i just read your comment. I've been struggling to find a job for a while now and your post was quite uplifting. I hope everything turned out well for you.

[@maryduff8831]

How goes you skills a year later?

[@hibernatingmummabear]

Being able to use dual forms for back fills is just flipping brilliant, a great help when using non-dominant hand!

[@Sylk505]

Sara Hughes How would you use a dual form for backfills do you mean a French backfill?

[@KAMALAISHERNAME]

hibernating mummabear very well said!!!!

[@PahFavaro]

Girl, what r those magical hair strings???!!! 😍😍😍

[@Fairjayne]

I love your voice/accent. Also thank you for your honest reviews. Much love x

[@heathera7195]

Could you do an ombre/fade with a dual form please?? I just got the acrylic starter kit and some dual form to start learning on myself. Love your videos, I watch all the time!!

[@nailsarelife]

I know I'm not Kirsty, but I think you could do an ombré. It would basically be the same as doing it the normal way. I would suggest starting with the free edge, bringing that down then do the cuticle area and blend it up. Just my two cents. Hope it helps.

[@strawhat6363]

I would start at the cuticle first like. blend it to the middle of the nail then put the white on the tip and blend. just try it out and see if that works. good luck!

[@avaerena2927]

I found it works best to do a white or other French white base then blend the pink down from the cuticle as you can use brush strokes that lift at the end towards the free edge so easily.

[@LadyEzaMoraShade]

I like the idea with the Dual forms and acrylic I've been trying to use the Dual forms and this generic gel I got from China I got the generic I say Loosely because I wanted to at least try it to see if I liked it the slip solution does not work with it it does not move right it does not hold still when you put it on and it's an absolute mess and then minute heat it touches it it turns to liquid and I've had the worst luck so I'm going to try your acrylic idea thank you for a wonderful video as always... your biggest fan

[@jessalovely9931]

Thank you Kirsty for making a video on my question. They turned out great!!!😄

[@Uquityabtchn]

I would love to see a full gel nail done with Dual Forms, as well as a infill. I greatly enjoy your tutorials and find them extremely helpful, as instruction and design inspiration for doing my own manicures at home.

[@Themissaprillynn]

Nice.. what would be cool, if they came out with the different shapes in dual forms, ballerina, stiletto, almond...etc

[@morethanjustamumakamummabe6241]

Oh my goodness! I wish I had waited another day to fill mine. I did mine the other way because I wasn't sure if we could fill with dual forms. I struggle to do my right hand too and that's why I bought them and I love them! I will know next time that I can not only use them but it's sooo much quicker and easier. Thank you! You are the best 😘

[@bflmps77]

Amanda Jayne why you just didn't test it yourself? Kirsty just experimenting with these and try, what she can do, but you can do it as well :)

[@morethanjustamumakamummabe6241]

I was going to test it myself but then at the last minute I decided to do it the other way to see if my refill technique has improved which it has when I do my left hand but not my right lol

[@charleypink8380]

How do you do dual forms so you don’t get air bubbles - I did a full set the other day and think they are real pain in the bum!!!

[@TallulahFoxxx]

charley Pink don’t lay them down horizontally- you’ll trap air ☺️🤓 just like when you put a screen protector on your phone screen, if you lay it down flat right away you trap bubbles! You need to place it almost vertical on the cuticle area, then slowly lower it down smoothly to the tip. This “rolls out” the air and reduces the chance of bubbles. Also, I’ve noticed people getting bubbles if they don’t like their placement, they take it off and reposition (this happens more with acrygel/polygel I find, because acrylic sets too quickly for people to remove it and try again). If you take it off and reposition it without cleaning the excess product off the nail it causes lumps and bubbles. Hopefully that helps ☺️🤓

[@mirandaburlingame8634]

Love your work!

[@samaycruz1567]

I am a manicurist I love seeing his techniques but I do not understand what you say you could do them in Spanish. I am a faithful follower of yours.

[@estockton1982]

I’ve been waiting years for someone to do a video like this. I’ve had my dual forms for years but I have never done a fill with them. Thank you. I’d love to see the full process with gel both a set and a fill. 😁

[@KAMALAISHERNAME]

Adam is obviously learning A LOT as he goes along, considering going into depth as far as the detail of the product filling in certain places using the dual form. He's really thinking like a nail tech!

[@tonisbeautys]

Could you please tell me what drill machine is you using because mine is absolutely shit.

[@tiaxo2951]

i don't know how i missed this video as i'm one that was asking for an infill video. but now that i've watched it, i can't wait to practice and perfect this! thanks so much!! xx

[@ijuhygvf]

Kirsty! i was thinking.. before filling the dual form with acrylic, you could place it onto the nail and use a marker to draw out guidelines to where the free edge is, right? :D i mean, it might make it easier so you wouldn't put too much product on there.

[@johnnettvinson2285]

Liz Zard that’s a great question. Yes you can mark them out. Or you can purchase forms that have the guidelines already provided like your sculpting forms that you use as well.

[@Mrsnunyabiznezz]

The ones she are using are a knock off version of dual forms. The original ones have the guidelines on them. I have been using the original dual forms for 6 yrs now. She is pressing way too hard on them when applying. You need to allow the product to become matte before applying. The originals are also not flat! They arch just like a dragon lady nail.

[@primalmojo9599]

Even easier (and less messy than a marker, cuz it will rub off or run if the acrylic touches it) is to use those stickers that are made for painting your smile line. Put it on the outside of the form and you can see through when applying product to it.

[@heathermacfadgen6369]

Not sure I like these as much as sculpted nails. Do you like them the same? They don’t seem to have the deep c curve that you always aim for with your sculpted nails.

Hiya!! Its called an Dental Aspirator lol not a mouth hoover 😊. Love ur videos!!! Xx

Great tip on using the e-file with your non-dominant hand. I’ve really struggled doing my own nails but hope that it will be a bit easier now. Love your videos, you’re such a talented artist.

Omg!!! O Loved the vídeo and I love you and your work. Congrats! You're my inspiration. ❤️❤️

Hi Kirsty can you do a video on acrygel application please, I've seen others do you it but I would prefer to see yours, regards Carol

[@Its.Nerisa]

Thank you!!! I started doing my own acrylics about a year ago, and started with forms! Loved them for a new set, but my nails would end up so thick trying to use them for fills. I’ve since started doing my nails without them, but this makes me want to dig them out and use them again! Thanks!!!

[@lorenalombardi4710]

hello I follow you from Milan, thanks to you was born my love towards Acrylic. I watch all your videos, thank you very much for all the suggestions! I'm sorry but do not speak English well

[@maryjflanagan1922]

I'm do happy to try this. I've never looked forward to my full set growing out! I know this is going to be so easy.

[@kateyoung24]

“Mouth Hoovers” are called suctions... and there is a big reservoir that gets cleaned out daily. Yes, it’s disgusting.

[@Voltigiermaus]

Dear kirsty, Don't they are called popits do they? Well in Germany we call them popits or dual forms. Lots of love

[@ofthebeanvariety]

I saw some use these to make their own tips.

[@ertfgghhhh]

Yes. I have thin ones and cut where the smile line would be. I lay the product up to where i want the nail to end. Hope u understand

[@mom23js]

"my hoover does not sound like that!" love u kirsty!😂😂 the out takes are my favorite n im so happy u keep em in! THANKS ADAM!😍

[@kristinebaker5477]

The nails look great, but you didn’t put Clear Acrylic on the nails to give it strength 😍💜

[@nickyslifejourney192]

O my wooord. Do you know if it can be done with normal full tips maybe?. I have done my own nails for years bur because of lupus and fibromyalgia I have rheumotoid arthritis and struggle so much but here in south africa we dont have those dual forms. LOOOOOVE your channel xxx

[@allisonhodge4576]

I’ve tried dual forms several times and from several places. My issue is that the side walls while they fit my natural nail well as they are supposed to, the extension part of the side walls aren’t straight like they are when I just sculpt them instead! So how could I account for that??? I REALLY love the acrygels and it seems you can’t use them on sculpting forms?? Is that correct?

[@lifelove6164]

I tried using polygel with dual form and for some reasons it's not working. I'm not a nail tech. Being doing gel for years but new to polygel. I'm using madame glam. Can you give some pointers for a non nail tech like myself. Thank you

[@tararainone5060]

Can you do a fill using duo forms but a French?

[@jessicafrongia5128]

Would you actually use this technique on paying clients? I currently do Gel X and I feel as if I get a lot of backlash simply because people don't know what it is. I would like to offer acrylic but its so hard for me to get is smooth and the perfect apex. I would rather do this! Not sure how they would feel though but this looks so easy and you get the same outcome!

[@lisapalmiero3527]

You’re not only filling in, you’re re-balancing the apex. I only use dual forms. They give me professional looking nails.

[@cathlong3246]

Yes I am one of those who struggles to find dual forms for my thumbs. Ended up having to use a form after one, and adding onto it then filing. I found one set so far that was even too big! But the apex was silly high and too curved. If anyone has found any other dual forms with a large size 0 please share a link, I’d be so grateful

[@LETTYR1956]

Would the fill be done using the same steps but filling with the Acrygel tube gel? (Instead of acrylic and monamer)

[@jonidamakeupartist158]

Yaaaay Thank you for doing this video❤ i managed to do it like this 2 weeks ago :D

[@MsTtrujillo]

Got my nails done today for the first time... he was rough. My cuticles and sides are cut and bleeding! They sure dont do nails like you do...

[@missnurseeri]

So so so very awesome! I'm glad I decided to see of you had done a video on infilling acrylic with a dual form. I wanted to know before I start doing my sister's nails.

[@jessylissette8427]

I watch so many of your videos I notice you use more acrylic than uv gel. All though they are both acrylics do you prefer powder acrylic than a uv gel if so why

[@donnabards7057]

Hi kirsty I just wanted to let u n ppl no that you can design ur nail in poppet leave it to dry and then go bk later use thin clear acrylic as a glue and ur design from earlier will be perfect when you put it straight onto your nails hope this tip helps you and lots other ppl xxx love your tutorials ty 4 doing them xxx

[@luciewhitcomb5850]

Perfect, thank you so much. I’m in Los Angeles so I had to learn what topic are.

[@cherylleblanc6515]

Love your videos. Can you tell me what dual nail forms you are using? I like those! Thank you 😊

[@ruthcooke636]

Omg the saliva part at the end 🤢😂

[@MerryKayMilam]

Do you ever re use the stones you take off when you re due your nails?

[@christiewong9142]

Ok so I'm bad at nails , so do you use a specific type of nail and do you put anything on the nail before putting on the acrylic on it

[@ilenemurray9492]

I have two different size thumbs my left thumb is quite large to the point it is very rare to find a nail that would fit it with this gel form how would you deal with that

[@leopardllama6439]

Yes!!

[@HelineBekker]

Amazing!!! Can anyone buy these products?

[@NattiC94]

Got my first set coming in the mail! 👍🏼 very excited to try them out. QUESTION!!... could you use the dual-forms to do layers of acrylic to build up the apex of a nail??

[@stefaniegimbel8547]

Nathaniel Collura I don't think so. By layering the acrylic you would create a thick, heavy nail. For a more prominent apex you need to create it with a brush... But just try it - maybe I'm wrong ;) Good luck!

[@TallulahFoxxx]

If you want a larger apex (and in my experience, dual forms last perfectly fine with the built in apex they already have!) simply use a dual form that is too large for the nail. You can trim away the sides before it sets and that way you get a larger apex. I personally don’t find you need it, and I also hate the look of a prominent apex. Personal preference though ☺️

[@suzanne6894]

Since your first dual form vid, I’ve tried doing my own a couple of times but I seem to be getting air bubbles problems on application at the cuticle then they lift straightaway. Am I applying acrylic too thin maybe? Xx

[@johnnettvinson2285]

Suzanne H I struggled with this at first as well. Now I apply a thin layer of acrylic over the whole expanse and length of the nail and firmly press it into place then I come back with the amount of acrylic needed for the now and then turn it over and check to make sure that there’s no air bubbles before I apply it to the nail bed. If I see that there are air bubbles and by pressing down on that area with the belly of my brush it does not remove them. Grab another form and do it again it’s still way quicker than the original way. I absolutely love dual forms. Hope this helps you

[@reneesinnott6083]

Yes I have fat fingers haha so the dual form is too small for my thumb, its so annoying

[@YorkshireLassWithClass]

Ok so I’m a northerner but who else finds it funny when Kirsty says “Dint itt” she has me and my daughter howling when she says it.

[@melissatrevino8456]

So I guess with this technique you can’t pinch the nails as you would with traditional application?

[@TallulahFoxxx]

Melissa Trevino you can most definitely pinch them! 🤓☺️ when it starts to set, you can put a pinching tool on OVER the dual form (or pinch by hand if you prefer), OR, you can remove the dual form slightly earlier than normal and give it a pinch before it fully cures. It’s not quite as curled as it would normally be if it was a sculpted nail but it does the job. These are quite a bit thinner than a sculpted nail so having it a little flatter doesn’t affect the aesthetic

[@elzannenel4400]

I've done a set on myself with dual forms which I've had for one week now without any problems or breakage thus far (and I am rough on my hands, being a mother of two teenage Staffordshire terriers...) I am so curious to see how they will last to the three week mark. This is just so much easier than trying to sculpt on yourself, I absolutely love how fast and perfect they magically appear! Kirsty you are such an inspiration, I refer back to your videos whenever I try something new. ❤ PS: Mouth Hoover is really called a suction or dental vacuum 😂

[@lesleystorey3917]

Bit of intuition common sense and skill maybe

[@fernandarebelo5937]

Hi, I tried put It on, but didnt work, the nail dont fix. I make all steps, put in cabin but dont dry. What can i do to it works? TKS Kisses from Brazil!!

[@lnuma92]

I dunno. I still don't think I can easily be a fan of Dual Form. It looks more tedious that it's worth. Maybe it's because I'm a nail tech myself, but I'd rather just build the nail and go from there or do an ombre on site on the nail instead of depending on a Dual Form to do that for me But, hey. To each their own. They look decent, but I'd rather a customized pinched look. 🙃

[@sylviaabad-kiefer8999]

Anyone know what drill bitt this is?!

[@adrienmartin6395]

Thank you Kristy. I am doing my own nails at home as it has become very expensive to go to the professional now for me. I am using dual forms and your tutorials have helped me a lot. It actually convinced me to get dual forms. I am not a professional but with your help and guidance I have been able to wear nice enhancements nails. The end result was perfect the 1st time and I used hard gel. I do not like big apex so this is perfect for me.I have them now for 3weeks now and I cannot help admiring the result every time. Again thank you 😘😘😘😘

[@Twinkley1981]

You're a clever lady Kirsty. I actually love the look of these nails as I'm not keen on a big looking apex. Considering you've had them on for 7 weeks and managed to do everything you have must mean the pop its still have enough of an apex built in to cope with everyday life. Btw do you have a removal tutorial with tips and acrylic? If not is it possible to make one for us please?

[@GypsyTarot]

This is a fabulous Video! This has answered a great question. xx Thanks

[@sharonkeller7397]

[@amandah2866]

Mouth hoover is the funniest thing I've heard all day! I'm surprised Kirsty is in favour of these, there's no way to pinch a dual form nail.

[@PRINCESSNAILSBYDIANA]

Did u reuse the forms after the 1st go round and sanitizing them???
