✨💫How to Ombre with high Pigment Acrylic Powders💫✨

Heya Guys and welcome to the Kirsty Meakin KZbin Channel
In today's video we are going to be finishing off Roxy’s set we have been working on a blue ocean-inspired set and today were are going to finish that off.
So we will be taking a look at ombre’s today I’m going to be doing a nice colored acrylic ombre on Roxy’s thumb and on her little finger as well and we are using highly pigmented acrylic powders today which can be a little bit tricky to ombre but here is how!
I'll start by fitting my form, now Roxy has kinda flat free-edges on some of her fingers so we will be using the sticky tab across the wings of the form trick and also take off the length of the form as we won’t need it we are not working on extreme length nails today.
So with my form on Ill prime, the nail with Glitterama Primer, and then ill apply a clear layer using the Glitterama Crystal Clear ill give that a few seconds to dry, and then its time to start working on our Ombre and for that, I’m going to use Alice Blue and BubbleGum two gorgeous blues from Glitterama.
I'll start with the Bubblegum placing it at the tip nice and thin then ill use the Alice Blue and pop that at the cuticle and bring that down over the bubblegum keeping my beads quite wet so I have more control of the color, when you are happy with your blend to get ready to pinch the nail and then you can cap in the clear acrylic.
Now its time to file these nails in to shape same as always side walls first then we will file the cuticle area then the free edge and finally, we marry in all together and contour the top surface, then give that a buff
Now you can see here on the thumb I have a little patchy bit so what I’m going to do to disguise that is I’m going to use some chrome powder so first off ill topcoat with a no wipe top coat then ill take dazzling mermaid from NailGaga and burnish that into my Ombre then ill topcoat one more time to seal in that chrome powder and then give it a little bit of cuticle oil to finish it off.
There far guys I hope you enjoyed that video stay tuned for more!
Lots a love KM xoxo

I saw you received crystals from Nails by sarah Burchett. Just wandering if you’ll be demoing them in one of your videos as I’d love to see them!

[@elitenailsbyshellycj2464]

Ooh yes I saw that on Instagram, would love to see what you can do with her Crystals. She is amazing x

[@michellemoonsnails7289]

Ooooohhh yesss, I seen on her stories she recieved some Alina Crystals I absolutely agree, I'd love to see kirsty demo them in a video 🙏🙏🙏💜💜

[@Crazy.Sheller]

Sooo lovely, favorite one is the middle finger with the swirling and glitter.

[@CaliChronicles]

Simply stunning set

[@jenniferjohnson7508]

Real nail artist problems.Thanks guys!

[@barbiejake4801]

Beautiful colours Kirsty I love those colours together they are very pretty, great job👍🏽😊

[@felicitytoad]

I was just going to go out but after seeing these stunning nails I'm so inspired I have to immediately stay in and have a go at this on my own nails. The chrome is just beautiful 😍

[@jasminegant7641]

I love how in depth these videos have been, even though it’s all been one set of nails 💚

[@joannahelmer5637]

I've gotta say I think my pinkie nail is even smaller than hers. Lol whenever I get my nails done I always get comments saying that I have little kids hands lol. I love this design it's absolutely beautiful. Love your videos Peace and love to you and your family 💚🧡💚🧡

[@bewitching2u475]

Holy crap I can't believe how many subscribers you've gained since leaving naio....way to go girl. On ur way to a mill.

💙🤍💙 That powder really did the trick!

[@juliejackson4817]

Stunning as always x

[@TheMetatronGirl]

My nails would blow Kirsty’s mind. Tip sizes are thumbs-4, index-7/8, middle-6/7, ring-7/8 and little-9/10. I have teeny tiny nails with a pronounced natural c-curve. Makes doing nail art a challenge.

[@paleflower]

I’m exactly the same, my nails are the same sizes and are so narrow, makes doing my nails tricky too x

[@amymandeville8342]

I'm absolutely loving how these turned out!

[@kathytarman2302]

Beautiful as always. Thank you for sharing your beautiful designs.

[@traceysnails5486]

Lovely set and love your work Kirsty I’ve followed you for 3 years now I’ve learned so much from you my nails are good with me watching you so I went college 3 years ago and passed in June and can I ask for size brush do u use please Kirsty ❤️🥰 xxxxxxxxxx

[@outoftheburrough]

I feel like Roxy needs a very small delicate brush or tool in your collection to be named after her in honour of her small delicate nails 😀 Love the chrome powder over the ombre, that would be amazing with some clear scale shapes for detail over the top like a mermaid tail

[@terristarnes7742]

Love You Kirsty, Great To See You.

[@krisamontoya]

Orders your forms and files, can't wait to get them and give them a spin.

[@kathy5939]

@Kirsty Meakin... Is a wet bead as strong as a drier bead once all is said and done??

[@leighanderson1228]

Can i ask what you use with the prep? As ive not found any lint 'Free' wipes yet 😢 x

[@thearmchairjournalist566]

Can I ask - would you recommend outing a base coat or primer over the chrome before top coating to ensure it doesn’t lift? I seem to remember someone saying it helps 😆

[@faeryprincezz]

This was such a helpful video, I've been struggling with this type of ombre lately. Thank you so much Kirsty!

[@simonebernhard1817]

Adam please do a mix of Kirsty singing!!! I enjoy these videos so much. Thank you!

[@blairwest3992]

So excited for this!!!!

[@lindawright9797]

Canna wait till ur next video

[@jacquelinedimattia774]

Lovely 💙

[@amandabarkham6046]

Is it worth capping in a natural to cover the ombré rather than a clear? Would that help camouflage the imperfections of blending such high pigmented colours?

[@amandabarkham6046]

Oh I asked the question before seeing the end of the video haha. Gorgeous!

[@yvonneburns2786]

I've teeny tiny fingys too, you'd have a field day with mine. Lol

QWEEEEN

[@alexisbrewer6767]

What's funny is as a nail tech we are so hard on ourselves but honestly the client probably would've liked the ombre anyways. Haha

[@mandicoleman7433]

I use my size 6 brush on my 24 year old daughter. My lil finger is bigger than all her fingers except her thumb (n yes I know technically it's not a finger lol)

[@abbieevans3640]

How come you don't work with naio anymore?

[@thearmchairjournalist566]

I think that’s a personal issue that be best left not discussed 💜

[@tairahenry9398]

Yessssd

[@EK-wi2me]

I have teeny pinkies and I used to get my basis done. I didn't understand why the nail tech constantly commented on it. He wasn't rude about it so I honestly didn't realize it's kind of, well annoying 😢

[@aylaedwards2968]

hey ya just curious is naio nails finished?

[@KirstyMeakin]

We don't work with them anymore

Does Roxy have Ehler Danlos Syndrome? She overextended her arm. Beautiful nails! I have tiny tiny nails to. Lol

Does anyone else think it sounds like Kirsty is doing the vocals in the outro music? Just me?

[@V.I.C.]

I luv you both but just wanna say I really hate when you drag a whole set of nails out over weeks and do a video of one nail at a time lol ughhhhh it kills me to watch a video of just one nail being done lol but like I said I still luv you guys lol thanks for sharing Kirsty 🥰🥰

[@KirstyMeakin]

Yeah, we're not fans either. but Roxy wouldn't have two different designs, so I just felt like showing three different techniques.

[@chroniclesofqueennutmeg]

@@KirstyMeakin sorry to hijack someone else's question/comment but it won't let me tag you for some reason! Please can i just ask is acrylic powder the same thing as dipping powder? Or are they completely different products? 👍😊

[@itsmollie997]

@@chroniclesofqueennutmeg they are different systems lovely xx

[@chroniclesofqueennutmeg]

@@itsmollie997 ah ok thanks hun! 👍😊 All very confusing at the start! The sheer amount of different video tutorials and products and opinions on whats easiest for beginners etc etc its making my head spin! But its been fun purchasing all the bits and bobs over the last few months!😊 Now i just need to start using it all so i can convince my partner it wasnt a waste of money 🤪🤦🏻😂🤞 i guess everyone would be different! What one person finds easy another can struggle with so that is why all the confusion and different tutorials claiming to be easiest! Im sure il get there! With ladies like Kirsty's help i will learn how to do fab nails! 🤩😍❤️ thanks again for your reply! 👍

[@clairemachin5064]

Victoria - If you don’t like them no one is forcing you to watch them! I have seen you leave quite nasty comments on other nail techs videos too! At the end of the day these lovely ladies are giving away their knowledge for free! As the saying goes - if you have nothing nice to say - say nothing!

[@lolaadesina5362]

No offense but gliterama acrylic powder isn't my fave to use. I have a bunch of them and don't like how it applies.

[@atey4kids]

I’ve seen 3 videos for the same hand! 1 video per finger?! Oh no getting boring….aren’t you stretching it a wee bit too much?

[@KirstyMeakin]

Do you only have three fingers?

[@thearmchairjournalist566]

I don’t think it’s stretching it at all, some people (like myself) like videos that are shorter and focus on one design. Each nail is a different design, and who knows maybe they had something come up and couldn’t record it all in one. I sometimes forget the first design by the 3rd or 4th, so this makes it easier to find 😆
