How to Strengthen Natural Nails with an Acrylic Overlay

Hey Guys,
In this video, I'm going to show you how to do a natural overlay on a natural nail to give it some strength.
I start off by prepping the nail so it is ready for me to apply the acrylic. Now that the nail is prepped and ready I start off by using Cameo as it is one of the pale pinks. I'm going to bleed out the back of the brush when I pick the bead up. Now I'm going to put this pale colour on at the end of the nail because we want this to look natural and obviously the end of the nail is a paler colour.
I also use a very thin layer of Warm Beige on the nail, now I'm going to go over the top with a thin layer of Dramatic Pink.
You can add a nice Gel Polish colour on top or you can just keep it natural and add a top coat.
Hope you guys have enjoyed this video
Kirsty

[@crickiechickie]

my grandmother used to have this done. she had congestive heart failure and her nails were brittle because of it. the overlays kept her nails from breaking so much. every friday she'd have her hair and nails done. :)

[@she_sings_delightful_things]

Kristin Arrington Cute story ♡ My grandma, too....it'd so great that despite all of the health issues, there is still something they can do to make themselves feel good =)

[@angiee4172]

Glad for her 😁😀

[@marysmith1757]

I thought u meant, she had the heart failure due to this .... when I first read it

[@sueheald7815]

Kristin Arrington I have CHF also, my nails split and break too

do my nails!!!!! lol

[@randomperson0999]

Slime Nation ikr she does them so good

[@aileenmceleney]

These are fabulous! I'm a nurse and I'm constantly washing my hands so nail care is bottom of my list 😔 id love to see a shorter nail length version of this! So so gorgeous! If only I lived closer 🙂

[@Nonnitot]

Aileen Walsh depending on where you live, you might not be allowed fake nails for hygienic reasons.

[@Nonnitot]

For your work, I mean. 😅

[@aileenmceleney]

I'm not allowed any nails at all! It's been 7yrs since I've had my nails done!

[@RitaGreen]

I had a client who was a nurse and I did a natural acrylic overlay on. She never said anything at work and no one ever noticed. She'd bust out her red polish on days off :)

[@enelnombredelaluna]

ritag82 I understand the desire of having beautiful nails, but nurses are not allowed them because it’s dangerous. They work with needles and sometimes high risk patients, and nails get so much dirt under them that it could cause an infection on anyone because her hands would never be 100% sanitized. I learned this the hard way, please don’t do the same.

[@sepstone844]

I’ll tell my employer, “They are my natural nails. They just have a little security blanket on top.” Haha

[@Tflyisme]

Your employer doesn't allow artificial nails?

[@carriel3054]

For me, the best part of having an overlay is that I don't need gel polish - regular polish lasts for weeks at a time over acrylic.

[@Plantlady1708]

Hey, I've been doing this, putting acrylic over my natural nails but the acrylic keeps lifting, how can I stop this? Can you help please?

[@solcinalli]

@@Plantlady1708 hey! Are you doing the correct prep on your nails? First, clean it, second file it (be careful not to damage it) so you create little pores on the nails so the acrylic can penetrate correctly. Then, put primer with acid, just a thin layer, this will make the nails sticky. Be careful not to touch your nails while doing this, because our skin is oily and we want to keep them as dehydrated as possible. Sorry if I said anything wrong, english is not my mother languaje

[@AnneikaTheJammyBrit]

I been watching your videos for awhile. Only you and nail education i watch for instructions and teachings. I notice alot of shops around me dont cater well for disabled people so i wanted to do mobile nail jobs lol. Bought a cheap kit and dummy finger once it comes going to be studying your videos to see if i am any good at it and look for a course if i am xx

[@julieparsons3216]

want a 1st victim ? im here and ready to let you play lol

[@directorstl9682]

RiTheJammyBrit, hi there. Im with you in regards to nail education. I have just recently found these videos and find them fantastic.

[@HaloHighlightz]

My grandmother had knee replacement surgery right before Christmas. Her nurse said to wait before going to get her nails done and I wondered if nail shops do house calls. I'm sure you'd have a lot of clientele if you go through with your idea!

[@JenEar76]

RiTheJammyBrit Me too

[@nadia173]

I agree, I loved getting my nails done but now I can’t feel 3 fingers of mine so I can’t go in to a salon as they don’t understand my condition and aren’t gentle enough... so I’m just learning to do my own!! Good luck to you love, it would be amazing to see more nail techs move into this field

[@tereza5071]

This isn't just an overlay, its a pretty overlay which sets it eons away from a regular overlay. Thanks!

[@alnsubuga]

Loved the trip down memory lane with the Fairy Liquid jingle!

[@YummyChoco1]

I just had mines done. I love a C-curve! It's so more natural looking to me. I love that my natural nails will grow that way.

[@francescamrskissmasculverw6141]

Thank you for doing this video. This is something I have been considering doing on my own natural nails but wasn't sure how to go about it. Love all of your videos please keep them coming xxxx

[@TheSiobhan12]

She had GORGEOUS nails to begin with. Wow... always envious of people who can grow their nails so perfectly. 💅🏻

[@itsacarolbthing5221]

This is what I do, and when people ask what I mean, I just say it's like having an extra strong top coat on.

[@almamendez1202]

That's what I'm fixing to do to my own nails. I love your videos. 💙✨💅🏼

[@tiffiniforsythe9238]

This is what I started doing about a month ago. I have a nail that has a damaged nail bed and splits once it gets past the end of my finger. Since keeping acrylic on that nail, I have been able to grow it out even with the rest of my hand. I don’t know why I didn’t do it sooner!

[@TiaraMo]

I love that you didnt use a drill. Makes it much easier to do on yourself at home without a drill.

[@figureofart1540]

I love this video! I've been using sculpting gel on my natural nails, and it has helped a lot. ❤✨

[@melissalomeli7726]

I wonder if kirsty ever files her nail on accident when she's filing/buffing the client's nails

[@ro-bw7hn]

Melissa Lomeli what do you do you mean ? ... 😐

[@NailsbyLizBuckland]

I would assume anyone could if they are not careful enough. I Assume that Kirsty is careful to not file her own nails as she files her clients nails.

[@autumnmurphy1802]

She probably does but do you have any idea how quick of a fix that is? Lol

[@Loveable1117]

I always do 😑

[@kieralambert1579]

My natural nails have NEVER been stronger than when I started doing acrylic overly.

[@sarahaffainie9518]

Once you take them off are your natural nails weakened at all?

[@westinternational2348]

I worry about the same! good question!!

[@alinap1915]

Sarah Affainie I so the same with gel and my nails are probably even in better shape than before because I use nail oil regularly

[@ujung-ahujung-hae7503]

Sarah Affainie i think it depends on the glue but personally they were so much stronger than before and they also grew way faster

[@Verawnique]
