How To Fix A Severely Bitten Nail | Back to Basics Ballerina Sculpt

Hi,
Today we've filmed by Back to Basics course so I have Cheryl as my model. Cheryl has a problem with picking at her nails and the ring finger is really bad, she's asked me to sculpt a nail out for her and because she's a nail technician and knows how to look after it, I've agreed. I would not do this on a new client or someone you don't trust to get regular infills and be careful with the nail. I'm doing a ballerina nail for this one.
I hope you enjoy this video, don't forget to like and subscribe.

This woman is so damn fascinating and photogenic. I don’t even paint my nails with regular polish but I’m here glued to the screen while she talks about short bitten nails. Which I don’t have either haha.. but she’s so captivating. And I say this after binging MANY Naio & Kirsty videos. 😻 I really appreciate a woman being bold and doing her thing. Incredible talent 💚✌🏼

[@MichelleJ1822]

She’s AMAZING!!!! I could watch her ALL day!!!

[@nathalielandry5194]

"You don't need to hold my finger that hard" LOL my clients tell me that all the time. Glad I'm not the only one ;)

[@jesswd]

Nathalie Landry omg me too. I kinda always suffocated my poor nieces fingers when I first started off, I kinda still do it tho without noticing 😓😅

[@ekaterinashtager2681]

[@1DaDivaUnstoppable]

I do think u get the corners better thou.. worse when you barely have nails.. lol

[@blububblebish]

When I used to get my acrylic nails done as a nail biter it hurts way more if you loosely hold the nail during filing at the end, since the nail is weak and fragile it feels like it’s pulling it off with the file 🥴

[@jenninstitches]

Cheryl is such a sport! I do love her honesty and personality.

[@Binkybagwan1]

Hi sweety. I love your video's so much and I am learning so much. I am 61 years old and trying to learn again. And you are my best teacher. Better than the lessons I get from internet school over here in the Netherlands. And above that you make me smile. And in these times every smile counts. Lots of love Yvonne

[@WorthyMissJ]

I had this problem with a toenail after banging it. I HAD to have something to protect the nail bed where I lost the nail and I had about ¼ of my nail left so I tried it. I had to infill and file every week for 6 months before I had the courage to remove the acrylic for a look. That nail had grown in so beautifully that I now have to slip a light layer of acrylic over the other toenails so they all look good together because that one looks like acrylic when it's bare!

[@moniquegonzales9191]

Do you think this would work on my husband he has a crack half way down and the nail always falls off it wasn't like that before until he ran into our door and stumped his toe

[@veranunley4375]

@@moniquegonzales9191 try it and tell us.

[@sasililly2523]

I’m glad Cheryl said that when an actual client walks in with a nail like that, you wouldn’t make that extension this long 🤣 I was watching and all the way through i was wondering; isnt that extension way too long for a short nail like that? 👀🤣. Love ya Kirsty!!

[@user-mk1qg8ud5h]

Sanne Vos tbh I was here because I acc want to do my nails this long myself and have a bitten nail so yeah some clients may want it like that 😂

[@user-mk1qg8ud5h]

And it’s useful to know it’s doable

[@TaniaSpies]

Poor Cheryl I feel so sorry for her. Not that Kirsty is hurting her, just that she bites her nails so badly. I used to bite my nails like that when I was in high school I remember making them bleed but still wouldn't stop biting them.

[@pambrooks5373]

I’m a nail biter but Not that bad 😢 I know it hurts

[@amandah2866]

Cheryl is a great model and it was very nice of her to show that even a nail tech can be a nail biter. It made me cringe a bit when Kirsty was going around the cuticle because I know when I was biting my nails and skin around the nail my cuticles were always sore.

[@SarahLBanks]

Bless her Cheryl sounds like the a ‘back to basics’ Fay. Great video, loved it ❤️

[@kimlindsey5178]

I used to bite my nails just as bad as Cheryl. I had acrylic nails put on in effort to break the habit. It worked! That was 30 years ago.

[@sararomans9626]

Me too! So glad I did it!

[@myahsaundersss2752]

Wow really. I got acrylics put on and my nail bitting was that bad I chewed the actual acrylic nail off. Glad it worked for you

[@adrianetornetto8737]

I have a strong grip too. My mom has multiple sclerosis so the filing process sends vibrations that feel like electrical zaps to her so gripping hard reduces the sensation but I'm so used to holding tightly my daughter complains that I hold her fingers to hard...lol

[@patriciamyers4503]

All those years of putting up with Fey resulted in kirsty's vice grip. :P

[@Rebecca-bp2kk]

I dont even do nails but I love watching your channel . You're insanely talented!

[@kerimccall7846]

I have an autoimmune disease and it makes my nails suuuuuper thin and they peel and break allllll the time super far back and I’ve recently started experimenting with different types of nail product to do exactly what she was saying about the nail recovery. And started using cuticle oil because of your videos and it’s insane how much it helps. I’ve gone my whole 27 years haaaaaating my cruddy nails and your videos help me so much. Who would have known taking care of your nails is actually important!!?!

[@justjulesoriginal]

Yesss! Glad you have older footage to keeps us educated & more importantly entertained, thanks Adam. Hope you are both keep safe and well at home. I've watched for ever! Last week I ordered everything I need to pamper my mother with acrygel extensions with vibrant gel colours. My mum is a cook in a school and cannot have nails usually. Now she is off work & on lockdown she will be my guinea pig. Once I've tortured her with my practising I'll do it on myself 😆

[@itsacarolbthing5221]

You're 41??? Shut the back door!!! I thought you were about 27!!! Xxx

[@meghan0129]

That surprised me too! I thought she was in her early 30s at most.

[@simonenz3889]

Botox, lip fillers, caked on makeup does help

[@haleyt3754]

simone nz it helps but that’s not the only reason she looks young

[@jarricah7920]

She look 50 wow

[@Jennifer85987]

I won't add any comment on how old she looks or not, because I'd need to see her face to face to have an opinion, but with everything she's done to her face, she no longer looks natural and that's just never good ... makes me sad because I think she must have been quite a beauty before all the transformation

[@sararomans9626]

She has such a soothing tone to her voice that I'm sitting here like all warm and cozy and dozing off. Not that I'm not enthralled in this video, just that her voice is really calming to me. Then she screams and I'm like,"oh F$#@! Nope I wasn't sleeping! you're sleeping! 😝😂👌♥️💁‍♀️

[@mexicangains1069]

I love it! An award winner doing an award winners nail!! This is the best!

[@elliea.2519]

An incredible transformation Kirsty! Wow! Bravo!! 👏🏼👏🏼 Thank you for sharing this! 😍

[@carlycharlesworth1497]

As a lifelong nail and skin biter, I had no idea it was self harm. Wow. Interesting. Now I am growing my nails and learning to leave my skin alone. It's wonderful and I feel like my hands are much prettier and more elegant.

[@sharonmcgregor2781]

What a talented lady you are, I'm learning so much from your videos, thanks for keeping me sane with all your ideas that I'm trying, especially in this crazy time, stay safe 🙏

[@muffinfluff2476]

I have a condition where my nails grow like paper, it's a variety of ehlers danlos syndrome. I use acrylic to protect my natural nails and it is so good. They're healthier than they have ever been, and if I do damage one, I just need to use short acrylics to act as armour til it heals up.

[@Aki-ht8qb]

Wait someone else has this problem? My finger nails are think like paper on most fingers and so soft and they get flaky? Like the layers don't stick together. O have given myself papercuts with my nails a lot. They are so soft I can't evwn keep nailpolish or gel or acrylic on because it just comes off because my nails are so soft. I somehow believed it was my diet or something and I'm always nervous getting my nails done since it only last like a week or 2 on me

[@Ahmgcats]

I don't have EDS but I also have suuuuuper thin nails. Once lockdown started my fingers were killing me for weeks because I had bitten time down so much to the point where I learned how to do my own.

[@shredbow]

I have the same issue! I've tried acrylics but I think I'm allergic so I'm on to Polygel overlay now but my fingers are itching again. 😣

[@yancyperez7154]

Thank you so much for this series of videos, literally going back to basics.

[@nsjak4ever0413]

Im absolutely in love with the dragon scale leggings on the girl with the black "Be Kind" t-shirt behind you. Hard to focus on nails because now I just want to know where I can buy those at🤣🤦🤦🤦

[@unickatobye]

Sheri S I think it's more of a mermaid, right? 👀

[@cameo86]

Same here. And I love what is written on her Shirt.

[@sarahjoex]

you can get them at blackmilk for example, but they're currently sold out.. blackmilkclothing.com/mermaid-leggings try googling for "mermaid leggings" you'll find loads :)

[@tithihalfbloodqueen5384]

Exactly you're right. My focus was there too. Quote is beautiful on the tee. Love the leggings too. 😍

[@natashacrawford4146]

lol very correct

[@vonkatartistry]

Love this vid, was great having others in there asking questions that we ask as we are watching via KZbin haha

[@calichef1962]

I had a pinky nail that acquired a fungus-- on my non-dominant DISPLAY HAND, no less. I was afraid to do anything to it but polish it to hide the fungus until KZbin nail tech Sarah Burchett showed her mother-in-law's nail that had the same white fungus I had. She was putting clear hybrid gel on the nail and watching it for any changes. It didn't change a thing with her MIL's nail fungus over months, so I put clear hybrid gel on my nail with the fungus and watched it closely. A month later I filed all my nails down to do a fill, but I didn't quite get to the one with the fungus before bed time. Overnight I broke that pinky nail off, halfway down my nail bed, and didn't even feel it! The next day I noticed what had happened. The whole part of the nail that had the fungus had broken off. Now it's been a couple of months and my nail is now growing past it's natural free edge, and get this: THE FUNGUS IS GONE!!! It broke off with the nail! It seems that the near-constant alcohol cleaning of the nail bed that I did while the nail was growing out seems to have cured the fungus! I still can't believe it!

[@mekaferguson5246]

I love how cheerful you are. Thanks for another very informative video....

[@shanithompson5131]

Great job on that nail! You are an awesome nail tech too.

[@lizniland1428]

Thank you for these videos I love them 🥰

[@goldiestacy2650]

You do such beautiful work. I love your videos.

[@P3Nails]

Why did you put the form so far away from her nail? I thought you should put it right up against the nail, but you’ve got a good amount of skin between the form and the nail. Is this because the extension would be too far up with the side walls and such if you put it back up against the nail? Thanks for doing these back to basics videos, I’ve been enjoying them and absorbing all the tips and tricks 😊💖

[@suzannebaggins1537]

I, too, have learned more from Kirstey than school in the U.S. This nail is ridiculously long. Bad, dangerous choice. Cheryl is ridiculous.

[@sharandhillon1138]

I love how non- judgemental Kirsty is 🧡 She creates such an open atmosphere. I am surprised she didn't use silk first before going into acrylic, like in previous video?

What kind of powder are you using?

[@meghanh2511]

I have very short nails due to them being genetically brittle and always break. During quarantine I wanted to start doing diy nails (yes not the best I know) and bought a diy polygel nail kit. I don't want to spend even more money on nail forms and as you apply the gel into the plastic nail, will I need nail forms at all? And would it matter if the gel nail adhered to my skin/nail bed like in this video? Thanks!

[@skarletrose8443]

Ballerina sounds so much better than coffin

Kirsty, a good grip is an admirable attribute to have. 😃.

[@lindagreyling769]

I've been doing this as well. If a client walks in with short bitten nails I fix it with acrylic. And it last longer and they tend to not bite anymore. I have saved so many clients nails by applying acrylic even though people bash me. I've learned doing this on my own nails, because for some or other reason I love chewing the acrylic off my own nails. And I can't stop 😢

[@hanimarsh5275]

Never been this early 😱 First commenter 😜 Hi from NZ 👋

[@goldienelson]

I love watching Kirsty do the nail thing. LOVE the videos. But please, please, I'm begging you guys, after all of this time and these videos, can you please give her a mic on her shirt or something, so that when she is super quiet we don't have to turn the sound super high only to turn it way down 2 seconds later when it's LOUD. THANK YOU!!!

[@leannayovanov4490]

This video is actually surprising me so much. I have worse bitten nails then her, and I go to the salon to them all the time, and different places too, and never been turned away or had to sign anything. About the only issues they had was my cuticles Being too hard and that I don't relax my hands😂. I've never had that experience, and actually even with my nails growing so fast I've had sets last for over 2 months before, but I also have very dry nails so it had great adhesion, and mine don't grow any faster than others nails. Also I just ordered nail supplies to do my own while on quaratine, and I'm glad to see that I can use a form with bitten nails and not have to use glue and tips while risking mold and bacterial growing under my nails which happens a lot with me because of glues air bubbles trapping liquid.

[@sheilabailey7725]

I have severely bitten nails. I have been turned away more than accepted and I've only had 2 stylists not completely butcher my fingers trying to do my nails. Needless to say, I don't have em done now...

[@sandratrowell8473]

I just want to say, I haven't even started the video, but I've been following your videos since I started doing nails! And this is the first one I've come across tailored to nail biters so thank you Soo much!! Gonna watch the video now, I'm sure you'll do an amazing job like you always do
