Reptile Themed Nail Design ft. The Most Elegant Smile Line Ever

Hiya everybody, welcome to the KIRSTY MEAKIN SHOW!!!!
We’re doing Cheryl’s other hand. We started by deciding to do a reptilian style design and ended up being more obsessed with the new smile line technique and how elegant it looks.
We’re making sure we sanitise and have the gloves on. I’ve already done three nails in the standard french smile. I’m doing one nail as full cover and the other I’m doing a smile line, painting the line as I would with a 3D French and then filing in the rest of the nail with more acrylic. That line will be super sharp by the time I file the nail.
For the reptile look, I’m covering the nail in white and then white with cream at the edges. I’ll then top coat and use the silver chrome over the whole nail. I’m then going to add the white scale design. I’ll remove the excess chrome which will leave a tiny bit to shadow the scales. I’ll finish it all off with Top Coat and Crystals.
Don’t forget to Like, Share, Comment and all that SheBANG!

Absolutely love these nails,and the one with the white line is just pure class, would be beautiful for a wedding. BTW the lady's engagement ring is just stunning! Never seen a design like that before,it is just so beautiful.

[@brandireichert6941]

I Love The New Nail Model. She So Classy And Her Nail Shape Is Amazing. Always Love You And Adam. Miss Your Daughter ♥️ Fays Nails Are Always Beautiful. ♥️🌹♥️

[@bravehearticus]

Lol "sorry Fay. Stick to your 30 glitters". The shade

[@Missyfw86]

Gave Fay a whole tree 😭😂

[@cherylwalker1431]

🫣😏😂😂😂

[@sharandhillon1138]

Did you notice she then got cut soon after those snarky comments? #karma jus sayin 👀

[@lydiajohnson3592]

That outlined smile line is a perfect example of less is more.

[@sharlsmediumfrater5533]

This is why your an award winner kirsty! Absolute artist as well as a tech. Just love watching all your work with my daughters x

[@CynthiaPrice79]

These could be wedding nails!

[@ShaafiaLatif]

I absolutely adore watching Kirsty work. I also admire the fact that she gets all of the smile lines perfect and in line with one another, i can only imagine the secret is practice :)

[@juliabrandon2482]

You are definitely the best nail artist I watch. You make it look so easy, perfect and effortless right up to the cuticle. I’ve watched other nail artists that apply so far away from the cuticle it looks like 3 weeks growth which really bugs me. Your a natural artist, So glad ur back with your own channel- u rock the nail world.

[@thatsoserious]

It's going to be great day, since Kristy has posted.

[@tonyawilson7613]

Amen sister

[@shantawinzer1214]

The clients ring is so pretty and the nails!

[@lorrieholsten2521]

Kirsty you're so good my husband even watches your videos with me. I love doing nails. On myself or a friend or their daughters. I'm not a nail tech I just really enjoy coming up with my own stuff. I have no clue what I'm doing when I start. No plan at all I let my creativeness free and see what happens. I think each design you do are unique and fabulous! Thank you for sharing your art with us all!

[@rosemiller2511]

Oh Cheryl's rings are beautiful, I'm don't know what I'm more jealous of, the rings or the nails lol.

[@wavescrashing]

They're so fun to look at. Love them!

[@katiegrace14]

I was so worried about you I didn’t realize you had your own channel now lol I hadn’t seen any uploads until I searched your name on here! So happy for you, you look amazing and you’re so talented! 🖤🖤

[@tainadelcaribe]

Yeah I just re-found her 3 weeks ago with her little sister’s neon nails and it made me happy! I thought YT algorithm was not showing her on my home page, but it’s just that channel is “starting” again.

[@inekawalker2449]

Welcome! We are in for so many treats.🥰

[@karenorsi4109]

Stunning as ever. That smile line was gorgeous. ‘Bisou’ is French for kiss 💋 ...

[@chelterskelter]

Hahaha Kirsty's nails popping through her gloves

[@sheadorris]

Absolutely gorgeous!!!💅🏻

[@Nails_By_Kimberlee]

LOVE that white smile line! And I lol'd at Cheryl's "Don't do that on anybody else" 😅😅 And all Kirsty's fans promise not to do it on ourselves either, Cheryl. 😁🤞🏻😉😉😅

[@kissdentalYT]

Love your energy!

[@Sammie68]

Beautiful video again but can I just say Cheryl’s rings....DAMN GIRL!!!!

[@ladyessexlioness]

There so elegant and stunning 🤩 beautiful xxxxxxx

[@emilylittle3454]

I’m happy that you got your own channel now on KZbin! You deserve it!

[@carmensalazar8488]

BEAUTYFUL WORK YOU ARE THE BEST THANKS FOR SHARING 😍😍😍

[@chloeme621]

Every video: *Kirsty struggling to pronounce or think of the right word to describe things* 😂💕 I love it!!

[@vanessanicholson9260]

I am so happy to see you two on your own! I assumed Naio was your brand- silly me. So I’m really happy that you get to do you all the time! Love 💜

[@patriciagallacher6741]

From what I have gathered l think niao didn't like kirsty showcasing and talking about her own brand, I'm sure that they had a lot of rules and now with kirsty having her own channel nobody can tell her what she can and cannot do or say,wish her all the best!

[@Thesunsreflection]

14:07 When you're that good at what you do & AMAZE yourself....😂❤

[@friedaraeperkins3258]

I Love Love Love these! Kirsty, you are amazing 💜💜💜

[@es5327]

Anyone who hits the thumb down on this channel must be outta their mind.... hahah HATERS .... with their ratchet nails!!!! Don’t be jealous girls! Kirsty Meakin 4 LIFE!!!!!!

[@AdamBouabda]

It’s probably Naio hahaha

[@Hbomb411]

@@AdamBouabda bwahahahahaha 🤣 yanno, if you go and watch any of their new people and new tutorials I doubt they'd be thumbs downing Kirsty because they're too busy crying looking at their declining numbers based on the gawd awful videos they're putting out now.🤣🤣🤣 Sorry, not sorry.. seriously, my 7 yr old could do some of them better. lol They had a damn good thing and will suffer greatly now that you guys are gone. But I'm so happy that Kirsty can do her own thing and truly do what her heart desires. She genuinely seems happier too. I wish you both all the best of success and luv; I'd say luck, but I know it's not needed. 😉🥰

[@conjureupnails]

Hi girl, they are so gorgeous, i love them ❤😘

[@shaz_66]

Reptilian is the word you were looking for!

[@rooniqueboutiquenails2192]

Accidentally had cc on at the beginning and it said Ghostly weekend instead of Kirsty Meakin show! Lol.. 😂.. Indigo should definitely get some more shea elixir in the post too you asap, I'm sure I'm not the only person who's placed an order for that cuticle oil off the back of your videos! Obviously I ordered way more than 1 bottle of cuticle oil too! Oops 🤦😁 Beautiful set, love the simple smile line definitely going to be trying that 😍😍💕💕xxx

[@patriciagallacher6741]

You do know that the fuzz is coming from your towels after they wash their hands, happened the last video after your last client washed her hands too. Hope her finger ain't too sore where you slightly cut her cuticle area with the buffer,hate when l do that too . Gorgeous nails as always thanks for sharing!

[@greeneyes8846]

I love you. Your awesome 🤩

[@arielspangenberg9252]

You make it look so effortless to move acrylic about. Jealous!

[@__ARMY-BTS__hobi_j_hope]

hi Kirsty I love your videos, I love your perfect work, I am your fan in your nail work, I am Mexican and I would love to do a beautiful nail job like you 😍 you are an excellent nail master on nails ❤️👏, blessings Kirsty

[@Msnettej]

Adam can you please zoom in with camera that's overhead it's hard to see the details...thanks

[@randimaxam3144]

Great job(:

[@V.I.C.]

The way you get it to have the chrome kinda shadow and show through around the edges is to use a milky white instead of just a normal solid bright bold white.. that’s why it’s not coming off as good as you expected it to be.. just like when you did the embossed design in the other video.. it didn’t shadow a lot around the edges bc you used that solid white.. next time use a sheer or milky white and you will just be in aww lol I have seen many many ppl do this on KZbin and Instagram and you need to dilute the white and then your gonna get a bomb ass shadow of whatever color you used underneath 😁 hope that helps!! Thanks for sharing hun 😘😘
