How to File Nails Like a Professional Nail Technician

Hey, guys. So we've got a super super special surprise in this video. We are going to be working with our Polish translation voice actor, MALGORZATA!!! OMG!!! I know a bit of Polish. Jen dobre, that's about it but that's because my dad had a Polish girlfriend at one time!
So, I know you've all been asking for a filing video for a long time and I've listened. I'm going to be showing you five different forms of filing in this video for various different nail shapes; So, first of all, we have a pipe shape; a stiletto; an almond nail; a ballerina and then we have your traditional square nail.
I'm gonna go through each nail and show you how I would file them. So I'm going to be using an 80 grit file and also a 100 grit file. These files should never be used on a natural nail. they are far too coarse. The lower the number, the coarser the file.
So, I hope you've enjoyed today's video and please if you are Polish or can speak Polish subscribe to Gosh's lovely channel where she will be translating my nail videos in Polish!
Love ya!
xxxx
Kirsty

OMG YOU TAUGHT ME HOW TO DO NAILS WHEN I WAS CHILD😂 your the reason I never brought a drill you took your time and used a file the entire time. Nice to see your still doing videos.

[@yrcarter]

The Adventures of Mi I agree with you. If I’m using my e-file it’s because I’m trying to get rid of to much product. If you lay the acrylic like butter their isn’t much to need a drill for. She just taught me so much

[@sharexoshowxo]

Oh yeah. I paid six grand in nail school to get my Washington state education for a nail tech license. We didn't even have a teacher at all. KZbin videos was my education even though I had to go to a school to get the 600hours needed to be able to take the state tests: A Written test and then the practical test. Of course, the tests are $200.00 apiece., so $6400.00 USD for a nail tech education in the USA. I just paid money to sit in a room, read the book, and watch KZbinrs teach me how to do nails. Thank GOD I found Kirsty!!! She taught me how to do it!! The others never said how to build a nail, just a parade of gel colors after a quick acrylic application without explanation. So I am thankful she does a great detailed examination of every step and procedure. I love her!!!!!

[@annettemooney3031]

@@sharexoshowxo Well she an educator, as well she is just awesome and can anything people can dream up

[@jadeoreilly2711]

If kirstys willing to just do a whole video dedicated to the sound of buffing and filing I’d definitely be up for that... the sound of this video is actually so relaxing 😂

[@catherineechevarria8972]

Hey Jade that is called ASMR. Search on KZbin for ASMR nail filing videos, I bet you'll find some ;)

[@Nails_By_Kimberlee]

DEFINITELY saving this video for repeated future reference! I'm teaching myself to do my own polygel nails at home and shaping is my biggest problem. There's no better teacher out there!

[@manicur911]

This is such a great teaching tutorial! Could you do this same type of video but show how you file your own nails on both hands? Since I’m not a licensed nail tech, I only practice on myself and struggle with filing, especially contouring. It’s hard to maneuver the file and/or my hand to get the right angle when filing.

[@anak9827]

Yess 100% agree. I’m struggling to shape my own nails!

[@evanvasquez242]

I'm so thankful for these lessons. I'm learning to do my own nails and these are soooo so helpful. I can't wait to get my first naoi nails products!!

Loving the almond filing technique.. I was always told side walls, free edge, cuticle then barrel of the nail.. I have wondered why I keep getting lifting. Going to try this way now xx

[@jenwyatt3912]

Same here!! I'm going to try this technique on my clients as well. Thanks!
