This is such a great technique. I really love the color acrylic you used as well 😍

Hi evie! I started watching these because of you! And it's great because I'm in the UK so I know I can get these products

[@roguefox2639]

oh my god I WISH MORE NAIL TECHS WERE AS TALENTED AS YOU

[@StopSelfDoubting]

Rogue Fox They’re talented, they’re just lazy. They rather throw a tip on because it’s less work for them. Annoying.

It's beautiful, and a way for people who only want a little bit of length and strength to their nails.

[@Zenzele50]

I really hope that I can find someone here in Columbus, OH, USA to do this for me. I believe this will be the best nail for me. I have thyroid problems and my nails split and "I want pretty nails too!!" Thanks for all of your awesome videos. Just fabulous.

[@mariazahedi7444]

Hi Grammi Z, have you ever heard of Vitry Nail Treatment? I use it and it does wonders for me. My nails used to be very weak before I started using it.

[@carrie-948]

The joys of thyroid disease!

[@MissShila]

Did you find someone in Columbus?

[@boxypunkchick3357]

I too have the same thing happen to me thanks to Hashimoto's. I have tried to use acrylics before but every time I had acrylics they always had tips. Which is not what I wanted. So you aren't alone.

[@clarehughes1543]

I love how natural this nail looks. I’d like this nail on myself.

[@sharonbaxter1336]

I do this too. Saves wasting a tip or a form for such a tiny increase. 😃

[@pecansandy34]

Oh my gosh! Kirsty is so talented!! Every video I see of hers blows me away!! It would make my life if she could do my nails but it won't ever happen. So talented Kirsty, really impressive.

Thank you for showing us how to extend a nail without form, without polyforms and without tips.....I will try this sometime.😊

[@michellegreen2994]

I ALLways get my nails professionally sculptured, so THIS tutorial is much APPRECIATED for me to TRY with confidence. TFS😁😁

[@amyt6527]

I can’t believe you can do that. Most ppl need at least a form!!! I love love love your videos. Sending you love from Cali!!

[@marycook3541]

YES!!! I have been trying to figure out how to explain the length of my natural nails. I train horses for a living and can't have too long of nails, for obvious reasons. My natural nails are very strong and I never have an issue with them breaking. I also love having them pretty. I'm getting ready to purchase a bunch of the Naio Nails stuff (thanks to your amazing videos) but I would love more ideas for this length of nail (the one in this video). Fun stuff without needing gems added as they catch in my work. I would LOVE a video series for those of us with a more athletic length nail.

[@shawnagreen6823]

Mary Cook Hi Mary.. I'm a nail tech and you can take your nails to a hole new look.. You can encapsulate just about anything.. She has many vids to show ya what I'm talking about.. Just make sure you order yourself some clear powder.. Its so much fun when you can have blingy nails .... Just take your time figure out a pattern and go.. If you are a beginner don't buy the rapid set monomer there is no fun filing and filing... If you have any questions is be more than happy to give you advice.. Kristy is an amazing nail tech... I love her sparkling personality and she does make It look real easy.. Your non dominate hand is a challenge.. Another reason why you shouldn't order the rapid monomer.. Have fun with it..

[@CyraWolfire]

Omg yes! I take care or horses to goats so I like an active length too

[@faithsunderland329]

I play hockey and growing my nails is IMPOSSIBLE! I always wait until hockey season is over to do anything to my nails :)

[@lucyskippings574]

faith audrey I have the same problem but i play netball and our nails can’t come over the tops of our fingers

[@Kiayya_-.]

Mary Cook I train horses aswell. When I started out I had gorgeous nails. Nice length... within a week a horse spooked and the lead ended up snapping my middle finger nail because it was dry and naked and brittle, hurt like SIN!!! Now they are just naturally incredibly short just from always doing stuff...

[@jhonnetta78]

She does such a beautiful job. Very patient with her clients in her models I like her and she knows what she's doing she enjoys doing nails and does them well. Very artistic and creative, I admire about her... Wish she was my nail tech..

[@eon730]

Kristie, you have totally renewed my interest on nails. I am learning so much by watching your videos, thank you for sharing your knowledge.

[@veggietuneslover]

I love using this technique on clients because they are so shocked that it works. It's my go to technique for when I'm working on extreme bitten nails (I also did it on myself when I broke my nail halfway back - I let it heal for a day or two then covered it. It felt SO much better once I got the acrylic on... it didn't hurt to touch it!).

[@beelierver]

I love watching your videos because you explain how n why as you go along. I don't do nail or hardly wear them but find the process n end result interesting.

[@xoxo0k]

I dont know anything about nails, i dont have the patienc to do my own nails.. but your videos are soooo satisfying to watch.. and i learn new things so.. trats good! Great job. Love your accent’ ❤️😘

Also I'm glad to see a tutorial, with you being the boss again and not having your loud hand model (AKA Fay) taking over. I just like listening to you and Adam, if I'm honest. 😊👌🏼💅🏼

[@shonamcbride6200]

That colour is gorgeous!

[@NativeNYerChicHK]

Many moons ago, before the gel craze, there weren’t many options or many places to learn DIY so I used to use silk, glue and acrylic to make an extension without a form. It was just a matter of making the shape right, so the silk had to be just right, couldn’t wrinkle and had to extend out to where I wanted the length. Stiffened that with glue, but obviously still really flimsy. Then I would apply the acrylic and build the integrity of the extension, but before the acrylic could dry I would pinch it to give it the nice curve. Then just file it all out to shape. Worked really well. And usually lasted as long as I needed it to.

[@doraswisher8616]

[@tarriakilee2979]

It would be really cool if Kirsty explained how much she would usually charge in the salon after all of her tutorials. Gives idea of cost of services and designs??

[@lolareddy5117]

Love ur work Kirsty.

[@greener336]

Oh hon, everyone pays something different 🤣

[@carrie-948]

I agree it would be interesting but since her work is so personalized and she doesnt really do the same thing all the time she probably wants freedom to charge whatever she sees fit for each design. If she discussed the cost of each design people would find ways to nitpick and get mad and say she charges too much or too little.

[@joervin2927]

LOVE YOU! when working do you use a mask or source capture system for fumes & dust?

[@Mandivargas_]

I’m going to be attempting this on myself because I legit have zero nails, I’m hoping for the best. I miss nails having a normal length nail, mine have been so brittle

[@amandadapanda4952]

You make this look so easy , I’ve bought the products but it takes me hours and hours to achieve something nowhere near as good as yours . Seem to have a problem with lifting (the nail) within a few days but I’m determined to get this mastered - help 😵‍💫

[@kiki29073]

This is how I would do toenails almost 30 years ago before it was a thing. Had a couple clients that had no toenails from injury and 1 from a birth defect. They wouldn't wear sandals or open for shoe because of it. I did their nails regularly and they told me about it so I decided to try it for free on a few. Well, it worked out perfectly after some test runs.

[@olusha]

Lovely. Can you do this if the client has no c-curve (spatulate nails)?
