Hiya duck in today’s video we are going to be doing an Edge Nail and a Chevron smile line on Andrea! Let’s get cracking!
When creating an Edge nail the form is one of the most important parts of the process so I'll start this one by getting my nail form perfect before moving on I'll create a fold through the center of the nail, now ill remove the form from the backing paper ill remove the sticky tab and ill place that on the underside mirroring the section from witch it was removed then I can cut the wings to fit the client ill cut a small triangle where the form meets the free edge of the natural nail and fit the form.
Now I can prime the natural nail and then I'll bridge the gap between the nail form and the natural nail using the In The Buff acrylic powder and the Oscar the Wild brush then ill place another thin bead of in the Buff at the cuticle area and when that’s had a moment to set ill apply the pinching tool, next ill switch products to the Acrygel system I'm using peaches and cream, and next place a bead of acrygel at the cuticle area I'll take my make and scrape brush and I'll decant some clean-up solution into a dappen dish and I'll use that to create my Chevron smile line and I'll give that a cure.
Next up, I'll remove the sticky layer from the acrygel using the clean-up solution on a lint, free wipe then I can file that into a nice sharp point using a hand file I'll clean over the nail again, and now I'll apply my onyx ink to the wall of that smile line, now I'll use my jelly, topcoat, Lez and Luna, ill cure that then I can apply the base coat and I'll put my gold leaf into that next step, I'll take the clear acrygel I'll apply a bead of that to the nail using a spatula, and then I can use that to cap the design into the nail. Now I can remove the form from the nail and file this into shape and then give that a buff then I can seal the design in with Topcoat cure that and finish with a splash of cuticle oil and that's it. I hope you enjoyed the video and I'll see you in the next one T’Rah Duck
Lots a Love KM xoxo

I love edge nails. Especially if they look like stained glass

[@lenahb]

Anyone else experiencing long pauses and random jump cuts? I've double checked it's not loading or anything like that..

[@UnpolishedbyAggie]

Yes I'm getting same thing just on this video.

[@Amber_Pischel]

Yes. I'm pretty sure it's her video

[@barbjalcorn]

No I didn’t get that. Maybe Adam had fixed the issue by the time I got to it. Maybe watch it again. B.J.

[@Nails_By_Kimberlee]

Yeah, I'm getting it. Happened on another video on another channel too. Might be a KZbin issue 🤷‍♀️

[@YuukiMoo]

Yeah had me so confused when it first stopped 👀

[@Ahyslok]

I just did edge nails with a chev smile line last night, ON MY OFF HAND! It took me HOURS!! But they really are my favorite! All this thanks to Kirsten 🥰🥰🥰

[@KirstyMeakin]

Thank you so much!!

[@SunflowerGrandad]

Gorgeous as always! However I’d love to see a video of the rest of this set, it looks like encapsulated 3D acrylic flowers which I’ve never thought to do on an edge nail and I’d love to see how you would do that, I’m afraid it would be so chunky lol 😂 please show us your technique!

[@KirstyMeakin]

This tutorial is coming don’t worry 😉

[@christolcopeland]

Love watching your channel so I can learn all I can

[@loritrent9780]

O.M.G. when Adam said the game operation that sure brought back memories! Just love the banter between you all! Just makes me giggle listening to you guys. Awesome set of nails as always I just wish you would have videoed the incapsulated flowers as well., your so talented Kirsty! We all have learned so many technics from your tutorials. Love when you show how to utilize different products together. I will try using my inks in this new way cause it is a fab idea! Thanks again for all the hard work you both do to provide us with free content to enjoy!

[@eileenjohnson3151]

Please do more designs using jelly gels. I have not one creative bone in my body and need your artistic input. Love your artistic talent!

[@KirstyMeakin]

It’s a sexy shot 😜

[@clawsbykadence]

Geeeeeze I love an edge nail!!

[@chriswedmore]

I have never seen this shape. I’ve worn acrylics for 30+ years and this shape and the duck nails I had never seen. Maybe they just aren’t popular shapes in the Midwest :) 🤷‍♀️ My Preferred Shape has always been square w/the corners rounded.

[@lorrieholsten2521]

You're looking lovely kirsty! Happy Thanksgiving ❤

[@rhondaarmstrong1405]

Beautiful nails. ❤

[@carronmoreton9385]

I've seen those videos with the lamps. 😅 I've put a do not touch sides of lamp on mine. 😂, seems to be working x

[@Notmetoob]

When are we gonna be able to buy your hoodies in the states. I own everything else of yours 😊

[@sandrapope3612]

Happy Thanksgiving Kirsty , Adam and the whole team Faye too !! Beautiful set , but alot of problems with the video !?! Was Adam celebrating 🍾 early ?? Lol

[@melly-js1405]

Can you show on a video how people should be placing their hands into the lamp when using forms. Do people not touch the roof of the lamp when the forms are to long?. Xx

[@amiedeangelis8915]

What do you professionals think of someone learning with Acrygel first then moving onto Acrylic?

[@CynthiaPrice79]

What shape do you think works best for sausage finders/man hands, to minimize them?

[@wonderwonder30]

Why did you decide to use Acrygel instead of acrylic?

[@martineleygue2316]

Bravo super magnifique kirsty bisous de la France bisous martine 👍👏💅😘❤💋🇨🇵🇨🇵💐🌹🌹🌹

[@MarianCScott]

Where can I get the gel squeezer?

[@iriagds]

Where can I find this t-shirt? 💜

[@studiogirl1967]

My pinky is tinier Duck😂😂It is unreasonably tiny!

[@nailattitudescustomdesignpress]

You should show us how Competition nail are done Cause Obviously you can't do nails the way you like it. You have to follow the rules

[@Amber_Pischel]

Question for Ms. Kirsty, is it possible to do an edge nail using nail tips or only on a form?

[@Nails_By_Kimberlee]

I was wondering that same thing.

[@Amber_Pischel]

@Nails_By_Kimberlee I suck at putting on nail forms so I was hoping there's another way to do edge nails without forms. Since I write this post I actually found edge nail tips we can buy.

[@Nails_By_Kimberlee]

@Amber_Pischel I suck at that too lol. I found some too on Temu but I'd love to see her do it first

[@NailsBySue]

I’m sure I’ve seen Kirsty do an edge set with tips. She folded it into a creased shape before applying product.

[@tiachandler5350]

Lmfao believe it or not Kirsty my pinky is smaller then hers lol

[@eRIn.HaYLeY]
