How to: Salon Style Acrylic Application - One Bead Application

[@Longhairprettynails]

This is my favorite acrylic application method. I love the Naio Nails forms as well.

[@presleyb01]

LongHairPrettyNails love your videos!!!!

[@rosannebanda9456]

LongHairPrettyNails here in my town, they look at me like I'm asking for the impossible when I ask for my nails to be done like this. They act like they don't know what I'm asking for. Its really really frustrating.

[@k.atkins2908]

@@rosannebanda9456 Yeah I see where you're coming from but it can be preference no one wants shit nails or a bad rep so a nail tech might not do it cause taking small beads = good nails = good business

[@trintropicana5405]

this is so satisfying

[@psychofairynails2937]

@naio nails please can u do a video on how to use an electric file and what all the different drill bit things are for please x

[@carmencaraballero4635]

Me ha encantado el vídeo! Totalmente artístico!

[@sandraraituma]

In the thumbnail it looked like the fingers were cut off :D (painted like that for Haloween)

[@Mandyzfelix]

I came to the comment section specifically just to see if I'm the only one who clicked on this video because it looked like her finger tips were cut off in the thumbnail, haha

[@jaydenharris7383]

I also came to look for this comment!

[@joylegon84]

I was looking for this comment!

[@carveyandemilylester7843]

Would it be possible to do a video with someone that has wide nails with uneven sidewalls? Like her index finger. With tips and forms? My first set was n someone like that :/

[@NaioNailsOfficial]

How odd, we have just filmed something similar to this today, but it was an natural overlay

[@carveyandemilylester7843]

I'll still watch. Lol I have learned soooooooo much! Your guy's videos should be a requirement for school! My only other issue is smile lines in the polish.

[@karmicfenix]

A tip that my instructor gave me. If you need to make nails straight measure from the nuckle down to the nail bed, that would give you the exact middle of the finger nail, I would always use a nail file since they are long enough, once you figure that out put the nail forms in the clients fingers and work your magic. Hope this helps. Always use as reference the nuckles to make straight nails. I had to learn this for my own nails. my finger tips From my pointer and middle finger are crooked to one side, so to make my nails straight I use my nuckles as reference.

[@MM-bj8rn]

Thank goodness for files to perfect the shape. The acrylic has a nice consistency

[@s.ildiko1341]

That was a perfect , educational vid! Thanks so much! Greetings from Hungary💝

[@DierMe00]

Every time I see the thumbnail, I think I'm seeing severed fingers.

[@rheaandmichael7958]

DierMe00 same

[@lisasutton7435]

DierMe00 I noticed that too. Ha!

[@lollylove1107]

The optical illusion gets me too 😂

Grazie per aver messo i sottotitoli in italiano, Ti seguivo già da un po', adesso mi hai facilitato la traduzione, Complimenti per ogni lavoro, davvero impeccabbile👍😘

[@stardust528]

Can you do a video on how you pick which brush you want to use and why???

[@Ritercrazy]

Adorable freckles.

[@gabriellacatharinamaria160]

This woman doesnt ageeee lookin so youngg

[@AylieRose]

How does someone train with Kirsty?? I’m planning on training with CND but I’d rather go and learn from Kirsty! 😁 live in Scotland and I would so travel down just to learn from her!

[@siancalderwood6113]

Aylie Rose I'm pretty sure Kirsty does 1-2-1 training. If you message her on Instagram or Facebook she will give you more info. I know lots of people that have done training with CND and didn't like the product ( myself included) and then had to change to a different brand. Hope this helps xx

[@lorra-mariecampbell9383]

She has a video on short ballerinas already

[@EdieSexwitch]

That’s amazing. You are truly skilled.

[@wendywoo545c]

The model is your hand twin!

[@veyroncabrio]

Kirsty is a genius! 👍👍👍😃

[@kimtown]

You make it look so easy! Love your brush too. As others have asked, I'd like to know which one you're using.

[@chaddstarzz]

Am i the only one who keeps hearing a women say thanks realy low when she puts the third form on

[@robynchuck444]

Check it out!!!! Theres sum1 that loves & is tryin 2 talk 2 Kyrsty!! No doubt!!!! Theres another video of sum1 tryin 2 say sumthin 2 her but i cant understand it.

[@chc717]

Robyn Hebden I heard the “it’s me” thing as well

[@zsanettbodrogi5902]

OMFG I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE HEARING SOMETHING 😭😭😭 This freaks me out

[@zsanettbodrogi5902]

[@Chesca99]

[@sandrawilber1315]

Thank you so much for your videos.. I can finally do my own Nails .. So much cheaper!

[@CandissCaldwell]

Hi Kirsty I love love love your videos. You are soooo talented and you have an amazing personality. What size brush do you use and do you use the same brush with all of your applications?

[@lizshakesheff3275]

Have you changed the consistency of your acrylic recently as it seems less runny and more mouldable than before which I like x

[@fififlowertot177]

Liz Shakesheff that's exactly what we wondering in the shop. We found the pigments would separate from the actual acrylic giving uneven finish but now the go on lovely!! I'm just waiting for the large port of warm beige to come back in stock!

[@mary.hanaie]

[@seal1237]

LOVE youre nail colour!

[@fabiolapantoja2138]

Can you put the link of where you purchase your brushes? And what size you use? Pls?

[@chrislaineroney9104]

Hey girl i like how your Nails form sticks together which brand are they please.

[@lvue85]

You never mention all the brushes you used in your videos or added in the description. Why? I would love to get them.

[@jo_tee]

Linda i was thinking the exact same thing. this is in all the videos....i even came this far back on dates to check.

[@saysikerightnow6300]

Because it’s all naio nails

[@taracottle8024]

The size of your brush doesn’t matter if your ratio is right

[@alexandraarnaud1957]

Just a question, what is the difference between start with one coat on the top of the nail and go down with the same product OR to start with a small amount in the middle of the nail, shape it, add an other small amount shape it again and finish by the cuticle ?

[@escobaralbiter6306]

9:33 there was a voice that said it’s me

[@meihwadeclerk3147]

Thanks so much! This video was really helpful :)

[@jmsomeillan]

I love your reasoning, acrylic is wonderful for reshaping the nails that tend to drop from a side or a finger that may not be in mint condition .... hehehehehe ;-)

[@aliciaclarke7399]

Love your nails!

[@dimplechuahan4167]

Niceeeee good job mam

[@ashleystonge86]

Kirsty, i was wondering if you can make your own color of acrylic powder by mixing dip powder with clear acrylic? I have some dip colors i would love to use for acrylic application...

[@kldubs2765]

nice job! is the model your sister or something? same freckles and same fingers as you!

[@ferrisfelter.4350]

Kimberley Laura the so called freckles are sun spots from the uv lamps.

[@patriciagallacher6741]

Ferris Felter. Kirsty has freckles everywhere all up her arm and on her face so don't think its the lamp

[@youngstaffswife2008]

Ferris Felter. Not from the lamp 😂

[@sierra2616]

So what’s the point in putting the tab on the back is it just more convenient to clean up or does it serve a purpose? Btw I love your channel ❤️

[@megberts4069]

Sierra it adds additional strength to the form

[@lovelykeylove6227]

Great job, love your work

[@NullitasAmare]

How would you handle ski-slope nails? Nails that raise up from the bed?

[@gigid7412]

I use curve tips.

[@denisefellows5335]

I apply thin on the nail bed a thicken the tip to even it out. With forms

[@christinaleister1387]

Tfs. Very informative. Love it!

[@KicksNLipsticks]

What size brush are you using? 😍

[@midorialexandros]

the real question is did she glam it up herself?

[@kerryhall5621]

midorialexandros Yes she did Glam it up herself she has a video on how she done it x

[@Krptkim]

Love your videos girl!

[@teresabrinkman7484]

Wow thats fast, but if I tried using that method,I would get alot of monomer on the cuticles..but love that u are using my newly decorated brush you made for me.. Lol

[@kathykov1]

Teresa Brinkman she did get monomer all over the skin.

[@shalvagoderdzishvili5206]

Teresa Brinkman bu

[@donnak939]

I love watching this method. What's your favorite brush?

[@Psalm119-]

Luv all your videos!😊 I'm learning a lot if techniques in a fun way, thanks. What size brush did you use here?

[@zoeradford4686]

BrideofChrist I think it was a 10 or 12 I’d say 12 more likely it looks too big to be an 8 and it looks bigger than my 10

[@acuteplusbeautypiercing3268]

What brushes do you use they look fab

[@vicsta6910]

Where can I find the acrylic brush?Thank you

[@kayleearchibald1922]

Vic Sta Amazon or sally beauty supply:)

[@lulu1977ls]

Hey. Wondering what brush u use. And where can I get one that is as good.

[@jacquelinedimattia774]

Great video Kristy! 👍

[@angelicasantana9175]

If you don’t put the dehydrator will it mess up the process

[@gissellebrendis1391]

Me gustaaaaa todo lo q ases de las uñas😊

[@balancebykayla]

Where is your brush from? I'm struggling to find a decent one x

[@MonaroMel1]

What on earth is going on in the audio at 2 mins 20....... that freaked me out 😲

[@bonniebohannon5368]

Oh how I wish you could do my nails! How do you find a salon that does forms not tips? Around me all the nail salons are Asian people and I think the language barrier keeps me from getting this exact type of nail.

[@shllewis9]

Bonnie Bohannon u are so right i doubt they get updated in the nail world cause they doing the same stuff, your actually better off trying it on a pratice hand yourself...

[@kilipaki87oritahiti]

Bonnie Bohannon the Asians you refer to are usually Viet. And ues many doesn’t use forms nor pinch because it’s not how they are taught, BUT doesn’t mean that some does it according to the book. You just need to find the right one. Don’t judge a whole group by a few bad apples.

[@kilipaki87oritahiti]

Shelia35 You of all people should know better than to judge another minority!

[@solsticequeen]

Same where I live. All the nail places are "in and out" cheap ($20 full set/$45 pink & white) Asian salons. No hate, just not for me. They grind your nail bed with a freaking ELECTRIC FILE!!! I had to learn to do my own nails 4 years ago because if this. Still haven't tried sculpting on my self, probably won't even try.

[@florencedionne6926]

Also most asian salons use mma which is very toxic for you. It can lead to the loss of the fingers its no joke

[@JVonD88]

Do you find the one-ball method easier or more difficult than using multiple ball methods? I feel like it might be easier because it somewhat levels out on its own, and you just need to control the shape, and be mindful of the liquid to powder ratio. But I've never done it because I'm a novice and I'm too chicken.

[@zoeradford4686]

Jessica Durant if you’re a novice I’d recommend more of a 3-4 ball method because you REALLY need to have the perfect ratio

[@bottom8135]

Does it dry up on its own or you have to cure it ?

[@stephanielucero9692]

You never use a fake nail underneath? What is the pinching for? I love your work!! 😍

[@jacquelineguajardo1332]

Stephanie Lucero pinching is to give it a nicer shape and give it the c curve

[@wendybishop9366]

Love your work ♥️♥️♥️ Do you ship products to Australia? And where do i order that brush ? Love the bling on it ♥️♥️♥️

[@alexgxzman3345]

Do sculpted nails last longer than acrylic nails?

[@zoeradford4686]

ALEX GXZMAN sculpted nails are acrylic nails, some people just use glue on tips and you need to do more sculpting with a form. Tips you still need to sculpt the apex but they shape is already there for you

[@oraliamontano9164]

Enjoy all your videos...does Naio Nails ship to the US?

[@angelacuthbert9923]

Oralia Montano there is a US site.

[@TheMoonfeather]

naio nails has a u.s. website too. so i would assume yes

[@gracelove2774]

Omg in the pic it look like her finger tips were separate from the rest of the length of her fingers lol love your videos!

[@user-ds5fr6ob3i]

Where’d u get the nail pinchers ?

[@SpaDazzle236]

How long does it take for you to complete a full set including filing?

[@DavidsHairDesignEssex]

god i am hooked on nails.

[@justacommentism1]

Do you have a video for beginners on regular acrylics? Not just the one bead?

[@audreymoose6127]

I love that brush what size is it?

[@zoeradford4686]

Audrey Moose a ten or a twelve

[@marinam7026]

What size brush have you used in this video Kirsty ? Thank you for your time 💜

[@missnatcula]

Thank you for another informational video! But like others said, can you at some point do a video on nails that are uneven and alike? My own nails have nail beds that are crooked and very thin and often curve up.

[@bandrader]

What brush are you using?

[@1amazingj]

💚 💜 ❤ 💙 💛 I Love Your 📹's. They are so Educational. You make it look so easy. Can you do a 📹 creating a shorter Ballerina Nail? I am unable to wear long nails & when I try to create a shorter Ballerina Nail it doesn't come out right. Could you also do it in the 3-4 ball method? I need to practice more before my final exam? Thank You In Advance. @naio Nails

[@pilitt]

How do you know when the acrylic is ready to be pinched? How does it feel to touch?

[@Janjanmartmart]

Pili Pilar When the acrylic goes matte, isn’t sticky, squish-able but doesn’t alter the shape and still hot.

[@nawelaida1599]

Hi plz tell me.when we should use the extension on a client's

[@lzholtzhausen]

Great video as always!! Just one question... dis anyone else here a weird voice in the video when Christie wasn’t talking? I would recommend to watch this again and take the video more to your ear to hear it. Scary shit!!

[@KDJProductions]

You mean that started around 2:10 and on? Sounds like a loop of audio just edited in lol.

[@gatita600098]

9:33 I belive it says: its me 😲😨😱

[@lzholtzhausen]

Yes!!! About 2min in and a lil later on I heard that “its me” too! Whatever it may be its freaky and gives me the creeps lol

[@crazyboutonedirectio]

no need to be sorry :)

[@helenbutler4923]

Don't lie Adam your trying to scare the shite out of everyone for Halloween!! 😁 muuuuuhahahahaaaa

[@Neila..]

Where do you buy the pincher for the forms??

[@sarahsarah-ij6kc]

what is different between nail form and nail tips? ,pls answer im from phillipines

[@Cats-Dogs83]

My thumb nails have really deep grooves in them. Can I still get my nails done?

[@zoeradford4686]

Cassondra Neier yes it will fill in the grooves

[@leliemartinez5875]

[@sandraspackman4514]

Hi Kirsty what size brush are you using in this video???

[@zoeradford4686]

Sandra Freeman I think it’s a 10 or a 12

[@annmariemcgowan5810]

Do you have a tutorial for the strawberry nails your wearing?

[@lovechild4484]

You say to watch N see how long it takes to do it but you have three different videos so far, after filing is there another vid?

[@itsmanoune]

I might ask a stupid question, but I just bought what's necessary to do my own acrylic nails, I wanted to know if the monomer was toxic? cause the smell is really strong. thank you and lots of love from France

[@nesrinea6610]

Manon Je me permets de te répondre. J'ai posé la même question à ma formatrice, elle a répondu que c'était en quelque sorte comme de l'eau de javel, ça a une odeur caractéristique mais ce n'est pas nocif. Je ne sais pas si c'est convaincant, il faut faire ses propres recherches à ce sujet.

[@kilipaki87oritahiti]

Manon These days you get monomers that doesn’t smell...

[@89krx]

Well, you can't drink it and you have to work in a well ventilated area. That would make it toxic.

[@TheEmpressUnleashed]

I want to order your products soooooooo bad! But, you don't ship to the US. Why?? I'm so sad

[@silntkll]

AbbyChris Makeup they do, just change the uk part of the url to us ;)

[@crystalcici9467]

what brush do you use for acrylic? naio

[@TKRvenus]

Please do show to on how to apply acrylic smoothly. When I look at mine from the side the look uneven

[@Chris-xg3cv]

What size and make of brush is this you are using please kirsty?

[@emilyljoseph17]

Can the acrylic liquid be used instead of the primer?

[@zoeradford4686]

emmaJ no , monomer is strictly only used to form the bead with the powder and for cleansing the brush

[@nadslays6690]

Do you ship ur nail products to Canada?

[@kyrieeleison444]

I have a serious but weird question. Do all nail technicians know how to use nail forms? The majority of nail technicians over here use nail tips instead of forms So I was wondering, if I order a nail form online and then ask the nail tech to use it instead of the tips, will they know how to use it?

[@erinyoung8832]

Ok no, No the probably won’t know how to use them without some prior practice, a lot of training academies only teach how to do tips so many nail techs don’t know this method! Such a shame as (imo) it gives a much better structure

[@theresabennett9725]

OK I have a question I bought ur acrylic starter kit and it came with everything but primer why????

[@brittaj68]

Max Adhesion doesn't need primer as it has the primer in it.

[@charityworld261]

How do you know when the pinch it??

[@karolmaldonado1417]

Me encantan tus trabajos por favor puedes poner el traductor a español 🙈

[@alicjatyszkiewicz8288]

[@MsAutumnBreeze]

Do you use MMA or EMA ?

[@gissellebrendis1391]

Eres la mejor

[@hazelbui3483]

Can i know where do u buy ur nails pincher from?

[@hazelbui3483]

I mean the colorful one

[@royalneal3265]

What's the difference between max adhesion and high speed liquid?

[@zoeradford4686]

royal neal one causes it to cure quicker and max adhesion forms a stronger bond

[@smplyjenn]

I wish that is how acrylic nails were done here, my nails wouldn’t be a complete wreck.

[@Jennifer85987]

you should think about changing your nail tech
