How to: Infill Without Flooding the Cuticle!!

Hi Guys!
In this video I'm answering one of my most asked questions. I'm going to show you how to fill a nail without flooding the cuticle area!
This video should be a big help to all of you out there who struggle with lifting and I also give you a quick refresh on how to properly pick up a bead which will help enormously when it comes to not flooding those cuticles.

So that's why my nail guy smacks my hand and yanks my finger down 😭

[@shesheshe22]

I came for the nails, but stayed for the accent!

[@wildfire2108]

Yaasssss

[@mollydooke]

My teachers never once told me to hold the nails pointed down. I always have trouble with flooding the cuticle even though I use small beads and now I know why. I always tilt the nails up or hold them flat.

[@NaioNailsOfficial]

We are so glad that you found this video helpful! :)

[@luluangeles2902]

Me too!

[@jazzyluv8404]

Same here. And I'm new at the nail technician business! I cant believe we didnt learn it, but I'm glad we have amazing technicians that help us new ones! I appreciate everything they do for us! 💜💜

[@Eyeshaveit]

I used to do nails years ago.. And I always had trouble with lifting and didn’t know why... It drove me nuts! Now I know why and it makes sense..

[@christybennett8095]

I have taught myself to do acrylic nails all by watching your great videos it seems like everytime i start have a problem with something you post a new video telling me what im doing wrong! lol Love your channel and all your videos too you seem like such an amazing person with such a fun personality! I'd love to meet you someday!

[@bevsartsandcrafts715]

"Just smack em" 😂😂😂

[@NaioNailsOfficial]

😂

[@mimifranzosin]

The place I used to go they'd actually tap (not nicely) my fingers with the file everytime it wasn't relaxed 😂 (which it obv wasn't because my nailed was getting hot af) 😂

[@natalyargueta4522]

My fav part lol

[@dianavillegas1323]

Yeah she is funny

[@bellavvgrwm]

When she said she doesn't know one person who doesn't pick at lifting I looked at my thumb which I had just picked at lol

[@leannes1083]

No, when she said that I nearly shouted "me, me! I don't pick at them!" at the screen. But I bit my nails 🤦🏼‍♀️til I was 16, so I've spent the last 20 years trying to keep them nice! I taught myself gel, and kirsty has taught me acrylic (though I do still get the odd frustrating issue every now and then!) My friend's nail tech daughter used to do her nails, until she asked me to try doing them, (eek was I nervous!) now she won't let anyone else do them, so I'm thinking about doing a proper course now, just not sure what course would be best. Kirsty is sooo booked up every time I look!😩😩😩

[@cellla7652]

You are a great teacher. I went to school years ago and they never showed me the things I have learned from you. Thanks for sharing your skills.

[@Rubyannperez1229]

I flooded all my nails lol ! I guess that’s expected as a beginner ! Thank you I learn something new today!

[@NaioNailsOfficial]

Keep practising and you will get better, I promise!💅😊

[@MellaBell]

That's why I stopped getting my nails done cause they always flood my cuitcle and burn my nails when filing with the electric filer and cut the crap out of my nailbeds. the nail Tech's here in the US suck they need to pay you to come across the pond and teach this here.

[@sheluvssmokedupeyes1]

Not all of us suck honey

[@AlexandriaGalileo]

A lot of nail places are actually shady and don’t even have a license. Next time you go into a nail salon and you think it’s fishy, ask to see their nail tech/cosmetology license. They legally have to show you and if they refuse just walk out. Usually though you know they’re the real deal if they actually have their license plastered next to their work station or in the salon, if they don’t then that’s questionable

[@mrsdisney5320]

MellaBell1970 This is so true!

[@addyphoenix2655]

across the “pond”!?

[@simmerfreek3501]

@@addyphoenix2655 its a common saying when referring to the UK and USA.

Mil gracias aprendí mucho con la traducción del video🥰🥰🥰

[@BajaRosie]

can kirsty show us how to infill a gel edge nail, or are they meant to be taken off at every fill? where i live in canada acrylic nails are out of fashion, its all gel, so whenever possibly it is so appreciated to see when kirsty also does the nails in gel aswell as acrylic thanks!!

[@Khloe_dancer_model]

Good question, I want to know too!

[@bevsartsandcrafts715]

That's the exact reason for my lifting issue! Far too much at the cuticle. You're such a good teacher. I'm saving the vids I need to a playlist I can refer to when I do my own nails xx

[@NaioNailsOfficial]

So happy to see that people find our videos helpful! x

[@leannes1083]

I've done that with nearly all kirstys videos that I've watched! And cos Adam always puts bloopers or funny bits at the end, I'll watch them over and over. Case in point "tiger" wave......watch out any 🏄🏼‍♀️🏄🏼‍♀️ lol

[@suelawson3042]

I am a newly to all things nail related and have learnt so much watching your videos. Thanks for being so down to earth and keeping things simple and straightforward. Back to practising.

[@tancalex]

The ending is so good. 🐅🌊

[@phmaximus]

ok, im a guy with lots of experience with painting miniature dioramas, cars people etc and im wondering why does painting nails look so hard??? and whats with the paint??? I reckon with a decent hobby paint u could get perfect coverage in one stroke? IDK, what am i missing???? PS great work... ive got sucked into airbrushing with stencils on my wifes nails

[@jocelynbeavan]

RC Revelation it is!! Lol 😂

[@ElegantSkies]

I think it's because nails are much more smaller surfaces lol

[@slamfwarrior]

It might be because it's a human body part so it's harder to control lol idk tho lol

[@lipschom]

I love your work SO much😍 You always make everything look so easy, thank you xx PS: Gotta love those "Tiger Waves" pmsl 😂😂

[@She_is_Marcii]

I’m currently in cosmetology school and you are a lifesaver! Thank you.

[@robloxfan9272]

Hey Kirsty, can I ask what brush you use, I’m struggling to find one that I love, thanks xxx

[@ms3rotica]

Omg my biggest problem ever is getting it to stay off the cuticle and still be flush. Thanks

[@MB-lk1hg]

You are so precious..!!!!!😻 Thank God for creating people like you. You give hope to my life.!!! You make me feel that I can do the job. Thank you so..so...much for your kindness. God BLESS YOU always 🙏🏼🌹

[@IzzyP5529]

Love your work.. have learned so much just by watching your videos!! Much love from Kodiak Alaska

[@Sonia1504]

Loved that! When you say making nail flush I'd love to see more of an explanation in a video. I find its either too thick or I remove it altogether? x

[@ElizabethCxo]

Omg so happy here🤗😁😁 I lost my job due to Covid-19 and between doing my nails at the salon and watching your video about 10 times, I am feeling confident in doing my fill at home until I find a job,,,,,thank you sooooo much for explaining with such precision ,,,,,🤗💞😁👍💥💯 I am ready to take on the challenge😂 DO NOT FLOOD!!😡🤪😜

You make the most epic nail designs I have ever seen!!!! Thank you for sharing your passion to all watching your channel!

[@laquintalin]

my nails are long and i always crack my nails on the side, (the divide where the free edge begins) I don't know how to file, without messing up the Apex. any suggestions? can you do you a video on a long nail and show me how to build the side wall and file it appropriately​

[@mrstica82]

Love your work i have a question do you remove or file the natural nail growing underneath the acrylic because once star getting lift under i do my own set from scrash if file is need it can you link a video please thanks 🤗

[@hearit]

You make it look so easy. I have gel all over. My cuticle looks like i have done my nails with my feet :)

[@Swhoney2]

i see what I'm doing wrong.. it's like a iddy bitty smile.. i will try again.. thank.. u keep memorized on ur really difficult designs like the leopard.. oohhhh just there r no words to explain ur talent as an artist.. just wow i do have 3 ?? do ridges affect lifting and what to do about them.. and medication usage.. is it possible no matter what i do that they will always lift no matter what?? saddens me that i can't find a good tech since I'm disabled don't work don't drive anymore don't go anywhere.. lots of time on my bed dealing with pain.. nails is the last thing now that I do for myself.. and decided to learn.. no recourse.. hard on my to leave the house.. but now wondering about my meds, is there hope for me?? been following u and i am memorized just watching u do ur thing.. believe it or not but in an indirect way ur helping ppl like myself to watch something other than movies and such.. im sure there r others like me who haven't spoken up.. best of luck to u and God bless u and ur family.. *from across the pond* TEXAS here..

Gadget Gal no marijuana in the UK lol. She's from England and it's completely illegal everywhere here! But I agree she always seems extra happy lol!

[@traceyroche5570]

Hi Kristy, really enjoy watching your tutorials. Quick question when u are finished a set of nails do u discard the unused monomer or do u hold onto it for u next client.

[@MsCherade9]

Tracey Roche She always discards it, everyone should. It gets bits of the acrylic powder in it which will get into the new set and make a real mess.

[@divm8559]

Really need a similar video with gel

[@davinaanderson1692]

Gotta Love you .I like the way you tell it how it is. Love your teaching so simple and to the point.

[@cherry817]

You're the most helpful video I've watched and I wish I watched you 30 minutes ago when I did my nails. I flooded my cuticle so bad I don't know what to do cuz I don't have pure acetone to get it off so I'm just going to hope that nothing too bad will happen and if it starts to affect me I'll go to the salon and get it removed. THANK YOU

[@b3lov3dstrang3r]

Dumb question- but whenever I got my nails done/refilled they would take a drill (?) And sand the top of my nail and cuticle. Is this not normal? Even with a refill- they would sand down my new mail and some of the acrylic nail - clean it then proceed with the bead

[@IrishHndGrenade]

I love your videos I have seen just about all of them and I have spent so much money doing all kinds of new things this last couple of weeks because of how amazing and educating your videos are! And of course you are just so easy to watch not boring and annoying! Lol I would literally love to come work with you I have been doing acrylic since I was 14 years old lol but I have always had a prob with flooding but I never tipped the finger!!!! So today I will be doing that! Lol I really do appreciate your videos 🖤 I just wish I had more peoe to practice on so I don’t have to keep changing my nails every two days! Also, have you ever done a video on extending week old gel nails?! I have weak weak nails and since I keep changing then every couple of days to do new stuff I decided today I will just shorten my gel nails and shape them like my reg short nails and the. Extending...hoping to save me more product and time lol we will see how that goes! I’d love to see you do it as I know you will perfect it!

[@lindapelletier6834]

Love watching you work! Thank you so much for sharing it really helped a lot😊😊

[@yinete1991]

Hi Kirsty, I want to say hi to you from Puerto Rico, i love your work. I have 2 questions for you. Do you think nail polish gel is a good recommendation for people who bite their nails? How do you work acrylic or gel polish with very short nails?

[@mackybarr]

Why do some of my fingers get itchy after acrylic application? I know it's not too much monomer used, my nails are never flooded. And it's just a mild itch

[@heather1872]

You are very pretty and talented. I enjoy watching you I have a make up tip for you tho. Stop highlighting ur brow area. It makes ur eyes look heavily hooded and saggy (sorry)

[@karolwebster823]

kirsty I think I need one of those smacks 😁😁 im learning how to pick up bead ratio correctly and I hold my nail flat so I can see it because I can't see the cuticle to know how close I am. Will have to try this your way, I'm slow in so slow getting this ratio right it's frustrating I'm not surr how much pressure I should be using when I wipe brush on the dampen dish and if I'm supposed to just leave the tip wet, iv tried all ways but I won't give up your my inspiration, I love your sense of humour can have a good laff as well as learn, thankyou BTW I love your hair colours
