How To Sculpt Acrylic With Your Non-Dominant Hand

Hiya Ducks,
So, in this video, I am going to sculpt using my non-donminant hand. The thing I hate most in the world is doing my own right hand's nails. It's so difficult. I've been doing my own nails forever, so I have some hints and tips, that will help you to do them as best you can.
We are closer to releasing some new content here on this channel, please stick by us, it's been difficult transitioning and getting everything right. especially in lockdown. We will have beautiful content for you very soon.
Love Kirsty xxx

I’m digging these throwbacks but omg I can’t frickin wait for new content!!💕💕💕 please oh please tell me the wait will soon be over! 😂💕

[@barbjalcorn]

I had already watched Kirsty’s videos over and over but now I’m over that. Kind of boring and need the gorgeous designs she’s known for. Can’t wait either ❤️🇦🇺

[@billiewupori1404]

@@barbjalcorn yea, I’ve watch literally all of her content from naio and I can only re watch so many times. I’m super excited for a new Fay video too!!

[@LoraEB]

I know we are all keen to see your new videos but I am really enjoying the old archived videos! It must've been frustrating putting so much work into filming these and not being able to post them. Glad we get to see them now 🙂

[@KirstyMeakin]

Glad you like them! Yeah. New stuff landing next week.

[@niraaartist9009]

OK but can we just take a moment to appreciate Kirsty's gorgeous hair, please? OMG STUNNING!

[@shaz_66]

Missed you guys!!! Never abandon us again! 😜

[@NailsBySue]

Lovely video. Can’t wait for the new stuff Kirsty and Adam, definitely sticking with you. I’ve learned more from you than anyone x

[@paulakoncki4029]

Yippee!! The Queen of Nails is back!! Wishing you all the best on your new Adventure! So glad Adam and Fay is still by your side!! a change is like a good holiday!! Lots of hugs !! 💖💅🥂

[@allisonhodge4576]

I started doing acrylic on only myself so I am better at doing my dominant hand with my non dominant hand... but the secret that helps me is to always start your nails backwards! Use your non dominant hand to do the nails first and then use your dominant hand to do the nails. Love from MN❤️

[@domrner]

Missed u guys. Glad to have u back. I need more schooling!

[@LurchsSister]

I love hearing you say you like this one better! I like it better also!

[@NadyaBali]

I really enjoy listening ur british accent

[@amylong76]

I love all the videos. Miss you bunches Kristy!

[@marmite.]

Love this nail more than the other.

[@HaH3nry]

I did a whole set on myself this weekend. I've been using my left hand for a long time doing my own nails. When it came to sculpting with acrylic, somehow I had mountains of product. When I filed it down, I had to file the cuticle area all the way down and reapply the acrylic. Otherwise, there would have been lifting. Next time, I'll play this video while I work :). Thank you.

[@nicoleaho7262]

I think you did very good with your left hand

[@miranda_f_m_360]

I miss watching ur new VIDEOS Ive watched them all already, More than once!

[@KirstyMeakin]

We'll be releasing brand new video's very soon here. But we have a couple more of these previously unseen videos.

[@motherhorror5225]

Finally her own channel. She’s the talent she’s absolutely GORGEOUS!! And I’ve learned so much about doing my own acrylic @home from her. You are a goddess Kirsty!!! 🖤🙇🏻‍♀️

[@spicymum4010]

Hello Kirsty thanks for all ur videos i love them 😘😘😘

[@Brave_As_A_Mother]

Kirsty: “I can’t do anything with me left hand.” ...and then she sculpts a perfect nail with her left hand lol

[@opalfruitcake]

I know, right! 😁😁😊😊☺☺😊☺

[@countrystrong3848]

I know I was thinking, if she saw the horrible situation I have mine in when doing it with my non dominant hand. 🤪

[@Trekkyygirl]

So, SO good to have you both back :). And we’ll done Kirsty :)

[@ssc4153]

After many years of doing my own nails....it has taken a while but I am able to sculpt a pretty decent nail on my non dominant hand. It takes practice! I went to a catholic school and was a lefty to begin with....but was "corrected" to use my right hand. I'm pretty sure I'm ambidextrous because I shoot pool left handed ....but my right hand is the dominant one. Like I said....it took a while to get my non dominant hand perfected so that I didn't have a crap ton of filing to do....it does take practice!

[@Brave_As_A_Mother]

This couldn’t have come at a more perfect time! I did my left hand on Saturday and haven’t gotten a chance to do my right hand! It’s Tuesday now! It will be done by tomorrow...or Thursday lol

[@adamkib18]

Omg I love your videos. Can’t wait for new content.

[@CraftyLoops]

In Northern Ireland, we call a splinter, a skelf. I think the Scottish call in that too. I've never heard of the term Adam called it but I suppose its pretty close, lol. I'm left handed and am lucky that I can do quite a bit with my right hand too, but doing my nails on my left hand sometimes turns out a bit disastrous. So this video was fantastic. Thank you Kirsty. Lee xx

[@martineleygue2316]

Bravo super magnifiques gros bisous Martine 👍👍👍👏👏👏💅💅💅😙❤👄🥀⚘🌷🇫🇷🇫🇷

[@sandi-midnight-mueller6550]

I was one of those "old timers" up until I was in 3rd grade I got in trouble for being left handed... but in the end having to go back and forth when the teacher came around... I am now ambidextrous.... which is great for doing nails on myself 😁 its still a little awkward using right hand, but no where near as hard as it is for true one handed person.

[@rhondaarmstrong1405]

Great video!

[@samwoodman9936]

9:45 Would love to see how you corrected the pinching tool collapsing the sides 😉. I feel like as nail techs one of the most important things to learn is how to fix your mistakes. We’re not robots and only human so it would be great to see and learn from. And also comforting to see a mistake from one of the best nail techs! Sending so much love and admiration for your work 🥰🥰🥰

[@teresasides8820]

Omg,I'm so glad you are back,I can set all day and watch your amazing nail art..you are so amazing ❤❤ also I love your hair

[@kathytarman2302]

Thank you for teaching this.

[@Emmawilliams83]

Thank you Kirsty your work is always absolutely amazing... I do the same as you when doing my non Dom hand I file moving my hand not the file 🥰❤️

Awesome hunni this tutorial helps alot thank you xxx

[@victoriabristol8524]

Please do a video explaining what happened to Naio nails. I have been a long time if you were Ben was so sad when you stopped making videos until I found your personal channel, but I’m very curious as to what happened… Please spill the tea

[@justaname7045]

Yeah me too!! Curious I mean 🤦🏻‍♀️!! Please let us know. I didn't actually know what was happening, and then saw one of these videos and read some comments! Thanks. Much Respect 🌹‼️

[@sandi-midnight-mueller6550]

Naio is still there... she is just not doing videos for them now... she's working for herself... which will give her a lot more freedom to create with any brand she wishes.... and I'm hoping for more items in her own brand 😍

[@justaname7045]

@@sandi-midnight-mueller6550 thanks for answering. I still hope that Kirsty will fill us in on the reason why she left and was it nasty or nice?? 🌹‼️

[@AaronW-ww4ds]

She's come out with her own line of drill bits , gel polish and files

[@kristicollett7887]

I take at least twice as long to do my right hand. And I definitely don't sculpt, tips for me!

When my daughter was small, I believe the babysitter taught her to use her right hand. We are all left handed except for her thanks K & A 😻 Sue Ellen from WV🇺🇸

We call it a skelf :o) x

[@lorrainemacgilchrist4269]

I live in Scotland and we have always called a splinter as a skelf, no idea how to spell it right, only posh folk called it a splinter, Dr’s and Nurse’ called it a skelf🤣🤣🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🥰💕💕

So excited

[@NikkieChikkie11]

Spelk? Never called it that either it’s a SPINTER ADAM! Lol

[@lyssabella922]

I file the same exact way with my left hand. I move my right hand and keep my left hand almost still. 😂😂

After all these years. I think you could do that with your eyes closed Kirsty, like you, I’m a pro. 💖💖💖

[@louisejohnson6767]

I'm 59 years old, so elementary school was quite a while ago. I was ambidextrous as a child. That's until my 2nd grade teacher made me put my left hand behind my back, now I'm firmly in the 70%.

[@Beckyib.]

Whoop whoop !!!

[@hshwhitten]

It’s a splinter Adam. Is that a woodworking term Adam? Spelk

[@aqua_Laura]

My 10 year old daughter is a lefty and my 2 year old could be too, my son is a righty though like his mama lol. Trying to do my non dominant hand with acrylic looks like I've let my 2 year old do it 😂

[@jackihunter8685]

I need to get myself an efile, which do you recommend 🤔🥰

[@AaronW-ww4ds]

One to avoid is anything melodiesusie as they break within 3 times of using it one I use now is from aokitec affordable and brilliant aswell as portable

[@mariahjane7969]

I can barely sculpt a nail with my dominant hand. It's the one thing I struggle with is properly shaping a nail using a form.

[@deiwilliams6590]

👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾💘

[@wendymoyer782]

I had never heard a splinter called a spelk (?sp?) before, so there, I learned that today.😶

[@hshwhitten]

Are those forms as sticky as the pink one? People with dry skin get stuck. Urghhhh🤪

[@jenoflaherty3134]

I don't understand why my non dom hand does better than my dom hand, it's crazy. Seriously, my non dom hand works better, i think it's because I try harder with my non dom hand.

[@blingaway]

Same here!! I think it slows me down so I can be more careful.

[@thedandyone6546]

Wondering where you have been. Haven’t seen anything from you. Is this a new channel?

[@DebraKadabra]

Kirsty and Adam are no longer with Naio. They didn't go out of business. K & A decided to do their own thing.

[@kayleighbradford9978]

It's called a spelk😂😂

[@SarahNRizk]

What is going on with naio nails channel .. all those are old videos !

[@CarrieVogel77]

Its actually only 10% of people are left handed, and left handed women are an even smaller percentage of that. Im a lefty, we tend to look up silly facts about ourselves. You can now say you have read what a unicorn typed, lol

[@kristacox5054]

I unsucribed naio nails. It reflects nothing on to the product. A company that will not allow you to expand and grow (using other company's products and so on.) That is not a company that i will contribute to. I don't know all the reasons you left; but the fact that they took everything you built says a lot. Good luck; i will be here watching.

[@thedandyone6546]

Ik when she said cjp I already knew it’s over

[@Nails_By_Kimberlee]

Isn't that called your "Cindy hand"? As in Cinderella's ugly sister? 🤣 Your dominant hand that you do nails on with your non-dominant hand? Or am I the only one who's heard that term lol
