Super Simple French Ombre | The Nail Basics

Hiya duckies
I love a good bit of ombre and it's super simple to create with acrylic if you know what you're doing. And this is on my own nails.
To make it easier I'm using a tip rather than a form, and I'm using 3 different colours, white, cover pink and transparent pink.

KIRSTY..... Please PLEASE PLEASE... could you do a simple gel ombre and some different techniques on how to find the best one and quickest on a client. I've tried many ways but struggling with the best. Tia xxxx

[@rhondamcclain3308]

Okay I’m just gonna be nosey (already dropped down and looked in the comments and no answer ) I love that Kirsty has her name on her own channel but is she still associated with Naio Nails. I power-watched about 50 of her videos, got burnt out on nails, watched a little true crime and when I came back there was a Kirsty Meakin channel 👏 Good luck either way Kirsty! You’re personality makes me laugh every time. And glad to hear Adam in the background too...y’all crack me up!

[@KirstyMeakin]

No association with them anymore.

What are your thoughts on full cover tips for folks doing their nails at home? Which ones would you recommend?

[@CoraleBluff999]

Where can i get the colour acrylic from x

[@originalabssinth]

Since you're doing all sorts of trials, "chemistry lessons", product reviews, and such on your personal channel now, I have a video request.... I have a client who loves dip nails. I personally struggle with it horribly because the resin/glue dries so quickly. I have been doing a little research tonight to see if it's possible to do dip nails using gel base/top coat and (regular) acrylic powder. I've found (very) few videos of it being done, but most are with actual dip powders. I'm planning to try out in myself with regular acrylic powder because I really don't want to buy a whole new product line for one customer... but I would absolutely love and appreciate your weighing in on the subject! I respect your opinion, honesty, and experience. You are genuinely the reason I got into doing nails in the first place! Much love, and thanks for reading this. 💜💜💜

[@marceladrskova7649]

Do you not need to put base coat ? Can you just apply top coat on bare acrylic nail ?

[@mandysnails6618]

You know what you should do sometime? You should have Fay Do your nails and a video

What is the name of the tips you suggest?

[@sharoncerretani]

How do you keep your brush so clean? Mine always (the few times I’ve tried acrylic) gets all gummed up. 😕

[@brittanymanor8083]

Clean your brush after you use it each time

[@sarahwilton1695]

Is there a video for using an electric file. Xx.

[@blankculture]

What type of bit is that

[@k.c3731]

what brush are you using? i’m new to doing nails and idk where to get a good brush like that help😫

Hi, This is an old video but I now use the Fay'd ombre brush that is available on the website. I have attached the link for you 🥰 www.kirstymeakin.com/product/fayd-ombre-brush/

Am I the only one that watched this video more than 2 times??

[@powderpuffgirl77]

Hi Kirsty, would you use base or builder gel to adhere your tips instead of glue? 💗

[@thatsoserious]

I've been meanig to try this but I am just so curious if it would work but I know it works for full cover tips.

[@powderpuffgirl77]

[@strawhat6363]

Which is easier, tips or forms? I've never tried tips before and kinda nervous about it.

[@Dresseduptogo]

Tips are easier than forms... Just my opinion.

[@Alexandra_Hill]

@@Dresseduptogo I find forms easier..I'm a learner though and was taught using forms..

[@Dresseduptogo]

@@Alexandra_Hill ya, we had to learn both I like the tips better... Especially if I'm doing on my self Tips are easier for me. I always had trouble fitting the forms right. It took so long for them. But I guess it depends on what you were taught on. The school wanted us to use the tips when we were doing them on the clients when they came in. I admire those who use the forms!

[@Alexandra_Hill]

@@Dresseduptogo me and tips = crooked nails...especially on my own hands, I have no idea why but it happens...

[@Dresseduptogo]

@@Alexandra_Hill lol 🤣 yes I did have that issue for a bit.. but I figured it out by lining up the sidewalks with the tips. It will happen once in a while when I'm doing it. But very seldom it does happen. It took me awhile to get it. I understand that....☺️

[@Dresseduptogo]

Kristy, what kind of a e-file do you have?

Here's a funny question. Why do so many people say not to mix systems, but then so many people at the same time mix systems? Just in general a lot of people say not to mix them but then other people seem to mix a lot and not have issues?? Just something I've noticed. haha Love ya kirsty ❤

Each time I touch with my brush white (or any intense colour) acrylic powder it immediately gets all clogged up. I tried with a wet/drier brush, I tried immediately and after it sets a bit, I tried with different parts of the brush, I tried different makes/brands of brushes and powders. It always ends the same. Sometimes I can put white bead and release without the brush getting clogged but then the moment I try to maneuver it, the brush is gone. I can't later clean it at all, neither with brush cleaner nor aceton, even if I do that almost immediately, the brush starts to look like a starfish (the bristles don't create a point anymore). I have no idea what I am doing wrong, I watched all the youtube films last year. And still no improvement. By the way, this never happens to me with clear, pink, or glitter powders. Just white and other intense colours. I am fed up.
