How to Make Coloured Acrygel with Gel Polish!!

Hiya Duck We are back with Andrea the goddess today, we are doing some Acrygel nails with some gel polish, and guess what Adam made mistakes… I mean Mojitos! So if the nails are a bit on the wonk blame Adam.
So I’m going to be sculpting these out today but before I fit the forms ill star by applying a thin layer of base coat then I can fit the nail forms.
Now I’ll sculpt out a clear base using the clear-as-day Acrygel I’ll place a pea-sized amount on each nail and I’ll use that to form a clear base.
Then ill take my Pink Glimmer Gel Polish and ill squeeze about 5 peas worth onto my pallet and ill set some Fizzy Wiz Gel Polish next to that and ill mix those together using my spatula.
Now using my Mr buttons Brush ill Create a smile line on each of these nails using my special Acrygel mix.
Now I can give these a clean-over to remove the sticky layer using my clean-up solution on a lint-free pad and then I can file these smile lines into shape and make them nice and crisp
Now I can remove my forms and skip over the clear base with a file just to tidy that up a bit and then with that being nice and abrased I can go straight on with my yellow gel polish Ibiza
Now ill take my Cassidy One Stroke and ill press some base coat into that then I can use that to press the spring-to-life glitter into the free edge of those nails around the smile line ill cure that
Then ill place some clean on the free edge of those nails we are not capping these just yet though now I can press little pieces of shell into the free edge and now we can cap these in clear and file them into shape
Now ill add some bling to these nails then seal them with the gloss topcoat ill give an extra layer of topcoat on the underside of these and finish with a splash top coat and that’s it!
I hope you enjoyed the video and ill catch you in the next one T’Rah Duck!
Lots a Love KM xoxo

Can we please get long videos with whole set of crazy long nails back?😭❤️

[@CynthiaPrice79]

Years ago, I had a neighbor who likes to muddle fresh mint in a glass, and add lemonade. I suppose, thinking back, it’s a bit of a virgin mojito.

[@MRSROBINC231]

I didn’t think those colors would work but you pulled it off beautifully! That’s a really pretty design ❤❤

[@melmo112083]

I remember a nusery rhyme about the three men in a tub: "Rub-a-dub-dub, three men in a tub, And who do you think they be? The butcher, the baker, the candlestick maker. String them up! Knaves, all three." I always thought it was pretty dark, but the older I get, the darker it seems 😅

[@SaraJean85]

My ears are toast. Not the channel to listen to if one is trying to use headphones! Wow beautiful nails as usual

[@MergeGirlXOXO]

Don't steal goats...🐐🐐🤣🤣🤣🤣 I love it!

[@lorrieholsten2521]

Oh my, wasps hurt badly when they sting you. Here in West Virginia, as a kid my younger sister and i would ho 4 wheeling up the road onto the mountain, seemed like everytime we went further than we were allowed to we got paid back by running over a yellow jackets nest, try parking a 4 wheeler andcstripping down to your skivvies with neighbors going up and down the road. However, for what ever reason. We kept going a little further a little further each time, I guess the pain was worth it!😂

Kirsty Meakin I think I'm an agrygel snob. I don't want anything else on my nails but your agrygel!!! Oooh and this video is perfect because I just ordered some shells like you just used and I can't wait to try this out. Thank you for all you do to provide us with your knowledge.

[@KirstyMeakin]

I think I’m an acrygel snob too 🤣 glad you love Acrygel

These are Ducks nails! In my state (Oregon), our university is in my town (UofO). They’re the Oregon Ducks, and their colors are green and yellow. These would be so popular with the co-eds there!

😂😂 very fun video 📹 😂

[@lorrieholsten2521]

People use to say back home, that if you use a straw inbyour drink you fet tipsy faster. Lol my favorite drink is a whiskey sour, we make them at home as we do not drink and drive, we seldom drink, when we do its usually during football season. We use to have super bowl get togethers where we'd cook mexican food. That was ruined year before last, people were getting a bit too cozy. They had trouble keepung their hands to themselves and thats a no no here as we are married. I aske me husband to get me the tee shirt with the llama saying no touchy 😂

[@singinme103]

My sweet sweet grandmother would switch letters around between words (never “par cark”, though, I don’t think), and some of them were hilarious. Sometimes things would come out of her mouth that she would never in her life intend to say. She would realize after what she said and get a good laugh at herself. My mom and I now do the same thing, so maybe it is a female thing!

[@samanthaleggett4737]

😂 drinking the grass. Lol. Their was a lot of foliage in those cups. Lol your only supposed to muddle a few leaves in the bottom of the cup.

Galaxy you say well we have just the video for you. Take a look at our video in this channel we have a galaxy one waiting for you 😊

[@beverleyr2625]

I really loved the lilac colour you created yourself Kirsty, not sure about the acid yellow - reminds me of bile - sorry! 🤢 However, as someone who is not even close to being a nail tech but just a dabbler, it gives me encouragement to see you use acrygel on the pinky that had a bashing - I would have shied away from doing mine thinking "oooh I'd better let that one recover before I attempt to do it again"! I found the whole video so amusing - you are so naturally funny Kirsty and the three of you together hilarious - maybe Adam's cocktails played a part in that too! 😂

[@sharonbrant6051]

Where did you get the Yellow Crystals from Kirsty (only had one G&T i promise!!!) I have been a nail tech for 35 years and love watching all the wonderful ideas you have. Its also refreshing to see you try things that are outside of the "box" just amazing.x

I hope that the day this video was shot everyone had a great time laughing and just being in the moment. I am off tomorrow, Thursday and Friday. I am going to finish my nails, fiber gel on them at the moment. I am going to design them, make a couple sets for my mom, and possibly have a drink or two or three myself, I rarely drink but if I'm going to I may as well make it count, right! 😂 oh I've misses the videos but I'd rather you be able to do what you like, things that make you happy and help with any mental health struggles! ❤ you all!

How many sets of nails did you get with one tube of acrygel? Oh you're the best by the way just wanted to tell you

[@Victoria_bunn_85]

Can you paint gel polish over the top of the acrygel, so i would like to use the acrygel as a protection of my natural nails and then just paint any gel polish on top and then add a top coat. X

[@deannemole4895]

Beautiful set but the answer to your question is == Swedes and Turnips do come from the same family. Swede is a Swedish turnip, hence the name “swede”. They are bigger, tougher skinned, yellow fleshed and much hardier than a turnip. Turnips are the smaller ones, with smoother skin and white flesh.

[@craftyheaven4007]

Can you just paint gel polish on top of the acrygel like you would do with acrylic?

[@heidim493]

What is the gem gel you use?

[@marieazrak1951]

When it comes to global warming and climate change as a nail artist, what’s the best way to tackle that to do the Way you’re doing now or nail stamping or both?

[@risavanovermeir80]

Can you explain the difference between Acrygel, hard gel, & acrylic overall? Why use one over the other? Etc. I'm trying to get a better understanding of if one is better then the other.

[@NailsBySue]

Acrylic is the hardest/strongest. It sets as you work with it. Acrygel is a hybrid of acrylic and gel so provides great strength, and doesn’t set until it’s cured so are a great option if you want to have plenty of time to work with it. Hard gels are those that will not soak off with acetone, because they are not porous they have to be filed off. Any can be filed into shape after setting/curing. Hope that helps love.

[@NailsBySue]

Stunning set, so much fun to watch. I’m glad you’re feeling better Kirsty ❤
