How to Sculpt Hard Gel Nail Extensions

[@justmeashley7923]

Yes! Finally a video where we're building a nail, I'm so excited! I've been waiting and waiting for a video where there's some sculpting going on instead of nail art, not that those are bad, they're great as well, but I just love watching her form nails. The kid series was also my favorite, that was hilarious.

[@cindyjoy5147]

Sculpting Gel is such an interesting product. Thanks for showing us the basics, Kirsty.

[@RoguesWhisper]

love that wall with acrylics and gel in the background :D

[@RoguesWhisper]

lol no matter what, loooove it :)

[@emyquintanilla2466]

+RoguesWhisper I know I thought I was the only one. those shelves are what dreams are made of.

[@Tata-iu3fy]

lol. only 2 LARGE shelves that take up the WHOLE wall. I would be in heaven .

[@Tata-iu3fy]

+Maddie Cooke we get it, it may or may not take up the wall. What we really care about is all the stuff on the shelves.

[@RoguesWhisper]

Miss B totally agree :)

[@dontcallmeelin]

do you think you could do a video comparing gel/acrylic extensions? lasting time, infills all that sort of stuff? struggling to find that much information!

[@chantelleswanepoel3455]

That could be interesting

[@isabellamcniven2650]

kirsty you are wonderful love the way you have close ups of what you're doing with no air brushing I'm nail technician just learning keep up tutorials. izzy

[@denischabriddell986]

I was very impressed with this process. I am not a nail technician. However you made this so easy to understand.

[@pego9955]

seeing you work with hard gel is even more fascinating

[@louiseholmex]

your hair is lush and fab video I haven't used gel I'm years but you inspire me

[@bonniew1992]

Beautiful job as always :) You mention in the description that you are planning a series on gel nails, which I am really looking forward to. Please don't forget brush selection and care as applicable to gel. Thanks for everything you do!

[@azellaneya]

Whenever I do gel extensions I cannot talk. It's so hard to instruct and do it at the same time so props to you

[@daylight8208]

The makeup and hair in this video is stunning!

[@thefairynailmother]

I LOVE this video! I swear I watch it daily (.followed by the pink/white gel sculpt) and it has improved my gel sculpts so much ! Thank you for your amazing vids! Xxx

[@rheaglover1501]

[@kimberlyyoung9668]

[@kkbabygirl420]

I couldn't understand her quite did she say do two coats if I have lifting??

[@kathbeth43]

[@lindarodgers2476]

[@jacqulinespencer5870]

Huge fan from Florida, love your enthusiastic personality and your very educational, im in school doing nails and love all your tips n secrets,😉thank you

[@chrishedrick292]

You have the CUTEST ACCENT!!!!!! I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS!!! I’ve been trying to do my own with acrylic, but this looks like it would be much easier, since it doesn’t cure and harden on its own and I can spend as much time on it as I want!!!

[@CharieVanWits]

Your hair looks unbelievably gorgeous today!

[@lesleystorey3917]

I am addicted to watching nail technicians and was wondering if you could do a stretch with clear nails with loads of different fancy tips and loads of details Gothic does highlander

[@aprilla94]

you made this look soo easy from what i was shown in school, so giving hard gels another try

[@MsBleau]

It's so awesome to find another chic with "working hands" . I'm not alone

[@MsCatCart]

[@claudiadragusanu1437]

Guardando i tuoi capolavori sono contenta che hai messo sottotitoli 😚 bravissima 😘😘😘

[@BonitaMorena83]

killer stillettos💅 i was wondering can you use the forms only for stilettos ? because i have 2 big thumbs and no single tip fits also the forms barely stay on to make a good nail . i saw a video of Greg from young nails where he cuts the 2 forms and stick it together to make it wider but sometimes im just lazy to do my nails and prefer a fitted form. thanks so much 🤓

[@ayselbars-asenova6769]

You are the best professional nail teacher thank you❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸

[@NaioNailsOfficial]

Thank you! x

[@adinajones802]

[@adinajones802]

[@pinkkatie84]

Kirsty fab as always! So informative and really easy to follow! Still building up the courage to try acrylic! Currently use extensions and builder gel over top! Love what you do! Would love you to do mine! You're so talented!!!!!!

[@fleur19888]

Could You make a video about lifting problems? How to fix and why they are forming? especially on the sidewalls?

[@y1988126]

thank you Kristy for doing this tutorial

[@rayemma9]

you look absolutely STUNNING!!!

[@katcuzzi]

It's nice to see it properly done! I got gel overlays at a local salon to fix cracks and prevent further breakage, and they didn't prep or clean the nails properly (didn't push back my cuticles or wipe off the dust from removing previous gel polish, didn't create an apex...). It hasn't even been a week and two nails have already rebroken plus the gel is lifting by the cuticles. I think I could have done a better job myself. :( Next time I'll try!

[@julietamachincuepa318]

que hermosos tus trabajos te admiro que bueno que ya allas incluído subtítulos me encanta lo q haces

[@maddalenalippolis1588]

[@raearnawestgate4376]

[@iloveyoujbxx1]

You’re amazing Kirsty. Vids are so easy and informative. I have loads of your products but I’m clicking the link for the builder and sculpting gel and it’s telling me the pages no longer exist! Have you stopped selling the gels in this vid?

[@helenevans776]

You really are a fantastic nail artists enjoying your videos love he'll you explained in great detail thank you for sharing x

[@alexandraayeone1470]

Thank you for the video-lovely work you do,really beautiful xAny tips on how to stop my gel nails peeling around the edges/tips after a few days?I use gel on natural nails and follow all the right preparation procedures. Maybe 5 coats aren't enough?I use my hands for lots of manual outdoor work,and they are often submerged in water,lifting heavy stuff etc.Any tips would be great,thank you:)

[@FlowerNewsQueen]

Finally! Thank you Kirsty ❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@beyondhelp666]

Thank you so much for this video. I have waited forever for this one video since you first started making videos on KZbin and its finally here!! Will you be making more videos using hard gels? I'd love to see that 💕

[@amandaclarexx8455]

LOVE your hair kirsty 😍😍😍

[@sarahrenton4187]

Hey Kirsty love all ur work .. can I ask what do u rather use gel or acrylic xx

[@TinaBallerina]

Die Farbe ist so so schön 👍👍👍👍Tolles Video. 👍 👍 👍 🌞

[@yarilandia]

wow this video is amazing all I'm wondering is if i want to start with my natural mail but do the tip with glitter or something like that, how do i go about?

[@Bexi222]

Beautiful nails as per usual! Is it possible to over-cure gel?

[@brandym784]

I love that it looks like glass

[@simone897]

SO PRETTY!!! um what are your thoughts on those mini flashlight LED for curing cause I`m cheap and that`s all I got

[@zorja342]

Simone H I do my gel nails in a led lamp 9W and with curing time of 90 sec the nail is perfectly fine

[@bethwilliams7769]

really enjoyed this video as I do with all you videos but could you please show how yo do a gel infill please xxx

[@godsdaughter9006]

Lots of personality here! Love it!👍🏻😄

[@Creepynightmarre]

i love your nails ♥. i wish i could see how you doing you make up and hair cuz you look so pretty.

[@m.harman-parkrn2098]

Would you do some encapsulation with hard gel? Also how about a polygel application? I would just love to see your application.

[@rosesweetheart8031]

love the pink and grey ! my nails really need a break from acrylics but i get my "nail fix " from watching you doing nails lol

[@cathicks9084]

Thank you this video was so helpful if I could send you a pick of the set I just did on myself I so would!! 🖤

[@InfinitelyASMR]

What happens when this nail grows out? Do you add more product in the growth area or take it off and start over?

[@ashcashcarter]

You do a fill.

[@mrsp7481]

what is the difference in strength between hard gel and acrylic? I've never had hard gel nails. I'm sort of heavy fisted but I love how these look when done in french style

[@purplasaurus.toaste]

Just want to say, hearing you call your little fingers sausages is SUPER relatable! I definitely feel like my fingers look like sausages a bit when i have really short nails! XD

[@anonymousunnamed3026]

You are such a talented nail tech. I bet you are in demand in the UK. Whichever city you are in (England, lol?). I would drive a hundred plus miles to get my nails done by you

[@lesliedanelles_nails5260]

Now let's see some designs on gel nails! TFS! :)

[@Kirsti-nt9xw]

Great tutorial Kristy could I ask a question I did my nails and my sisters yesterday and today both of our gel polishes just peeled right off in chunks and I don't know why as when I usually put gel polish on it stays put until I file it off any tips would be greatly appreciated xx

[@southernfury01]

love your videos, wish we could get the product here in the US :(

[@NaioNailsOfficial]

you can! :D simply head to www.naio-nails.us

[@joanani40]

Me encanta tus trabajos Dios te bendiga siempre

[@Jayna7]

'pleeeease would you do a tutorial on how you do your left hand with gel? (not acrylic or tips) ? you are so informative and helpful! thank you soooo much!!

[@NicquiMadden]

Hey Kirsty - thanks for the video. I have a quick question: I have a completed gel nail, which happens to be a little too short for me, and I want to make the nail longer using a form. Once I have removed the gel polish and attached a form, do I need to apply a thin layer of the base gel over the existing gel that is already there OR go straight in with builder / sculpting gel?

[@shellsnailz78]

really enjoyed this would love to see more Gel videos please x

[@yard2homepropertymaintenan843]

Is there a sculpting gel that can cure in an led lamp

[@sabraeast]

Your makeup is amazing!! Makeup tutorial....?!?

[@xomanikaxo]

Your videos are amazing ! I was just scrolling through the videos (maybe I missed it) and couldn't find a removal for hard gel. I saw how you remove it for acrylics. But how bout hard gel? That would be so helpful to see how you remove it! Another video maybe? :) Xoxo

[@abbeyratchford]

Whats the grey gel polish called Kirsty is wearing on her other fingers?

[@ingridhvar30]

Me encanta tu canal me gustaria que hicieras un videos con subtitulos para saber todo a detalle bello tu trabajo

[@cealcharlo1146]

Would it help to refrigerate the gel if I'm in a hotter area?

[@NaioNailsOfficial]

it might help :) the colder the gel is, the thicker it will be (and vice versa)

[@cassieLBscoville]

Ceal Charlo Did it work? Mine runs so much. I was thinking about putting it in the fridge.

[@amandamoo4009]

What is the grey colour you have on your other hand?!? I love those colours together xx

[@Snarpips]

I adore that grey and pink combination Kirsty! could you tell me the names of them please and if they are available to buy over in Switzerland? xx

[@NaioNailsOfficial]

they are :D simply head to www.naio-nails.us

[@brandym784]

Amanda Kavanagh gray and pink always look classy, one of my favorites

[@polaplatek668]

I really like your videos. I just have a quick question, can I cure your builder gel in a led lamp? if its possible to cure your builder gel in led lamp, how long would it take to cure? if not, do you guys make builder gel for led lamps? Thanks in advance :)

[@Stripedburbuleta]

hi there Kirsty i work with gel and I really love seeing you doing hard gel because I really learn a lot from you. i also like seing you work with acrylics but gel is my thing 😀 kisses from amsterdam 😗 #PortugueseinAmsterdam

[@tlomax2768]

can you make a video on how to do hybrid nails with acrylic and hard gel? Thanks

[@fadingcadence4764]

She did a video with a 3D rose that was painted grayscale where she makes hybrid.

[@jotinaballard7810]

T Lomax.

[@kriswurst6216]

first off you are so talented, your nail work is brilliant. I could watch your videos all day and in fact I have. I'm super new to the gel world. I bought a kit of Sina gels, no matter how thick I made my nails they kept breaking. I kept thinking that I wasn't doing something right. almost gave up but I didn't. I looked on your site and priced a uv gel and could of sworn it was 40 bucks. however I see that you have them for around 10 bucks. I'm upset cuz I wouldn't have spent money yesterday at the beauty supply store.. I would of bought from naio..do you sell any hard gels????

[@mariepontgerard-leccia9951]

hello superbe vidéo j adore ta façon d'expliquer et la qualité de ton travail à bientôt. Mariie

[@nazneenfatima4334]

Hi Kristy! I've been searching your channel for a specific video but can't find one! Please can you show the best way to use chunky glitters when sculpting a hard gel nail?? I've got a huge collection of glitters which I love to encapsulate in acrylic but don't have a clue how to do it on gel nails!! Please help!!

[@MrsKeane25]

If you were doing all ten how would your steps differ? I remember you saying about applying the form one finger at a time when doing acrylic because they can shift around and the angle would be off. Would that be the case with gel?

[@cassandra238]

Your hair looks really pretty in this one! 😇

[@BrandoCommando55]

Awwwww baby Kirsty! 💕💕

[@Wheeler1123]

Love watching you. I have learned a lot! Thank You!!!!

[@rerekisses6549]

I'm getting an acrylic kit for Christmas can u make a video on the basic

[@MoonChildTarot8888]

You definitely should do a hair and makeup video to I love how you do it

[@pampinese3641]

Your hair and makeup is perfect in this video! Thx for the video informative as usual !
