How To Straighten A Wonky Nail | Reshaping a natural nail

[@tamalacampbell-innes5957]

Hi Kirsty! About a year ago during lockdown I came across one of you videos and watched you sculpting a set of nails...I was hooked and wanted to try it...i tried it and totally fell in love with the whole process...a year later, at the age of 42 I'm now a qualified tech with nearly a full clientele. I only sculpt. Thanks is all I can say for helping me find my way in life! I'm now saving up for a set of Kirsty Meakin brushes to take my art to another level! Cheers duck xxx

[@sharonwheeler6220]

This is fantastic great job getting qualified I wish you lots of success in your business xx

I love watching Kirsty. I do gels on myself at home - Kirsty makes me feel like I could just jump in and do acrylics

[@tamalacampbell-innes5957]

You are such a natural in front of the camera. Just a joy to watch

[@christivbosch565]

I'm forever a Kirsty Meakin fan. For the past year and 1/2, I've watched every video you've released, liked and shared. Watching you create such beautiful designs...you gave me such inspiration. With covid shutting down the world, I was forced to do my own nails. I've sculpted my own nails, done amazing nail art, encapsulated flowers...used hard gels, and then progressed to acrylic. I have a long way to go to perfect the shape and filing shapes, but you've put me on the right path. I'll say it again, because it's so true, your an inspiration to me. Also, a shout out to Adam, Andrea, and of course our fav worst client ever...Faye. 💕 Thank you so much for teaching this old gal some new tricks!! 💕💕

[@katrinasheets2997]

I love this technique and find it so much easier than removing the entire nail every time. You're absolutely right about this being a great introduction to using forms, and this is exactly how I learned to use them in the first place. I have 2 nails that grow wonky and I have to correct them pretty much every time I do a fill, but it's very quick and easy to do. Thanks so much for sharing this technique!

[@collettemcquaide1662]

Corona and Alpine pop. Wow! Takes me back.

[@itsacarolbthing5221]

Kirsty, would it be possible to do a single dedicated video on how to file the nail to achieve all of the shapes? I have no issue doing straight square, which is what I prefer, but I'd like to know how to file each of the other shapes for when I'm qualified, in an easy way, rather than having to spend ages correcting!!

[@TallulahFoxxx]

She did one a while back on the Naio channel ☺️ It’s really in depth! It’s called How To File Nails Like A Professional Nail Technician. She goes through the most popular shapes requested by clients.

[@CryTides]

This is really helpful. I’ve got a wonky nail and I’d never considered using a nail form to build out the missing side! Thanks so much!

[@jessijacobs8]

It's Adam's laugh for me 🤣🤣🤣 Please tell him that his laugh is infectious 💗😁

[@itsacarolbthing5221]

I know we don't see him often, but I have quite the crush on Adam. I think he's gorgeous. And that voice!!

[@cynthiahazebroek4281]

Great to see how to fix a wonky nail instead of taking it all of and do a complete new nail. Some of my nails are pretty wonky to so I’ll try next time to do it this way.

[@hollybyrd6186]

Coffee and Kristy nothing better this early on a Monday.

[@caradooley2836]

I been wondering when we were gonna get a new nail video bc there hasn’t been one in over week! The last one was just about that nail expo.. so I been kinda patiently waiting for a new nail video!! I missed you guys!! Thanks again!! 😘😘

[@manfredfails7485]

[@nevacoleman1361]

I love this video because I have two wonky nails on both hands and wondered how they could be straightened. Thank you.

This is a great video. You are so talented and an amazing teacher. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge.

[@meridithderaps3362]

Love your videos!! They are very educational!!! That will definitely help me out!! My pointer fingers both do the same and now I know how to correct them!! Thank you for continuing educating us all 🥰🥰🥰

Please come to So. Calif.

[@bonniebernido8510]

Good tips. I really enjoyed that technique

[@joannahelmer5637]

It's my ring finger that has a wonky nail it kinda grows to the left lol. Its more noticeable on my right hand than my left. Love your videos Peace and love to you and your family 💙💜💙💜💙💜

[@mariadunn3188]

Thank you Kirsty I found this video very interesting 🤔

[@teaganwheeler4330]

Omg I love you. You are so helpful and inspiring with designs. Xx

[@sewingSue]

In Canada we had The Pop Shop, you could get lots of different flavours and return the bottles.

[@naomipask1809]

Thank you for such a great educational opportunity. How do you correct a “wonky” nail when it actually the finger tip itself that is turned laterally/ bent out towards the pinky finger?

[@TallulahFoxxx]

Always try to give the illusion that the whole finger is “straighter” rather than just in line with the other nails ☺️ It’s more visually pleasing. However, if it’s a significantly bent finger, you won’t ever make it look totally “straight” and actually, if you try to straighten it too much, it might just look weird 😂🤦🏼‍♀️ I’d just explain to the client that following the natural shape completely will emphasise the bend, but equally, trying to completely visually straighten it will also look strange ☺️ Somewhere in the middle will improve it slightly but won’t completely “fix” it ☺️

[@tairahenry9398]

So love your energy lol

[@MyNailsandMorebyJohna]

they look great

[@michellebramble7678]

Hi you guys Thank you for this video it really helped you always make everything look so easy and love how you explain things and you guys are so funny you make me laugh love watching

[@SUGARDECLIPSENails]

Yay...thankgoodness I love these types of videos!!!

[@lisagood1272]

Kristy are you ever going to do your own line of acrylic? Love the video! 🌹

[@Leslie-karren]

Kirsty, my nails are warped, bend under, cure inwards, any suggestions on how to straighten them? Right now I'm heating the end of a metal nail file and melting, reshaping them, but I can't imagine that's a good thing. Thanks in advance.

[@TheAshesvondust]

I would also like to know! My middle finger nails grow in curved, almost capping my finger tips, and my ring finger nails grow in wavy, almost like a W.

[@Leslie-karren]

Ashes B all my nails are curving in one way or another 😢😢😢😢

[@teresamckeown5594]

I wish I had known about filing off the sharp edges years ago. I have given myself terrible cuts over the years. 😢

What do you do about twisted fingers?

That's a lot of growth for 9 weeks! I'm glad mine don't grow that fast lol!

[@vickyp7700]

What is the difference between 120 grit file and 120 grit buffer

[@queenbeemo42]

Generally buffers have a foam/sponge layer under the sanding surface so they mold to the curved surface.

[@Stephiems]

I have very wonky finger (it has a full arch), so I am always trying to compensate when I file my nails. Can you please do a video on wonky finger? Assuming the technique is different...

[@SarahLBanks]

Oh come on Kirsty 😊 Corona pop, then you got to take the bottle back for 10p and I’d always get 20 aniseed balls. Thems are the days of ‘the pop man’ 😂

But Elephants are pregnant for 11 months, so that makes them superior to us! Lol

Cats and dogs can also have multiple fathers of the litter. Thank cripes humans can't 😊

[@robinharding9919]

Humans can, it’s just rare. Superfetation. It’s fascinating

Watching these views is like spending time with friends. About the reproductive miracle of animals - where do all the babies to inside? How do they fit so many in???

Elephants are pregnant for almost 2 YEARS for just one baby. 18-22 months depending on the elephant. but still... 2 years 😭😭😭

[@TallulahFoxxx]

No wonder the females always stay with their mums for life! If I were an elephant and spent two years making my daughter, best believe she’s staying with me forever 😂👌🏻 “I didn’t spend two years pregnant for you to ungratefully move away! Now, look after your mam!” 😜

[@Cookie4811Mau]

@@TallulahFoxxx 🤣😂😂🤣 right!! invested!!! lol orca whales I believe also stay with their families, the babies have grandmas and they help raise the babies. Animals are way cooler than humans will ever be.

I wonder if her skin is delicate because of doing hair, I’ve just started to use bleach, hair colors, and other chemicals on my kids hair, their teenagers. Ugh… This is the first year their asking to go to their boyfriends or girlfriends house for thanksgiving. I am not prepared for that yet, I said no not until your in a more serious relationship. Luckily my oldest is 19, 16,15, and 11. All girls but unfortunately most of the girls were cursed with a larger bra size so my 6th grader has been having a go at it this years. New school but making friends with girls just not happening but boys she’s broken more than a few hearts, this problem is teachers, parents think she like 16. What was I talking about? Ugh my chronic illness are kicking my ass today. Anyway I hope I said something that makes since. My ADHD brain often doesn’t make since. I’ll start a new comment

[@cocoakittypow]

Like what you're doing. But, we aren't far superior beings compared to animals.
