[@bossofkingz2283]

Who else wishes they could get their nails done by her?

[@ninalondon8292]

I’ve been settling for 8 whole years🥺🥺🥺 but watching gives me satisfaction anyone else wish that was Faye? 😂😂😂

[@Longhairprettynails]

Great tutorial! I have always had trouble with pinching. This helped a lot.

[@puddincup9879]

LongHairPrettyNails the two of you are my favs!!!!

[@tammys701]

Thank f**k!! Finally someone who knows what I have been trying to describe to the nail technicians for the last 20years!

[@LissaRae23]

Same...each time I ask if they'll pinch for me they look at me like I'm a nut job! So frustrating!!

[@jessicataylor4440]

I’m literally the ONLY one around where I live that pinches nails. No one has ever seen or even heard of it... this is crazy to me! And ladies r scared at first until they see that it doesn’t hurt and it makes for such a slimmer nail. I’m thinking, don’t these other ladies (nail technicians in my area) watch Kirsty Meakin? I saw it first with you and WOWZERS, what a gorgeous difference it does make. Not to mention like you said , the strength it adds. I can’t imagine NOT pinching now. I don’t know why they don’t cover it in the licensing courses, not here in South Florida, anyway. I couldn’t even find a pinching tool anywhere around here in the beauty shops. I had to order mine from the UK on eBay and wait forever for it to come. I tried it on myself first on was like, that’s it! No going back now... this is BOMB! When I hear people say they don’t want acrylic bc they are too bulky I say, let me have a go and I promise they win be bulky at all. I think gel is more bulky looking. I’m just partial to acrylic bc I think there’s so much more you can do art wise with it rather than gel. Gel does have it’s pros but I’m an acrylic lover down to my core! It’s like in my blood Lol I find doing nails so relaxing, weird I know. I’m weird. But for me it’s like painting or knitting or other things people do to relax. It just calms me.... and makes me excited , too sometimes 😜 Like when I can’t wait to try a new design or technique. I wish I had about half a dozen pairs of my own hands to constantly be practicing on. I see you trying things in models that you’ve never done and I’m too afraid to do that! Kudos to you, you’re fearless! Confidence helps, too, I think. I haven’t been in this industry very long at all, so perhaps I will become more confident and bold with time and practice. THANKS FOR ALL YOUR SUPER TUTORIALS, I’d be doing basic,boring sets and lost without you!

[@HighTideSoaps]

Jessica Taylor How long do you leave it on each nail approx?

[@jo_tee]

Jessica Taylor i find doing nails so relaxing as well. like an outage for all my stress, anxiety and whatnot. so im just as weird as you dear, probably weirder haha!!

[@jogill4265]

Same here

[@daturarose]

NOBODY in the US pinches nails when they do them. I've been in salons from one side of the country to the other, North and south. ... notta single technician pinched them. ....they also always ALWAYS make the tips so thick that it's just stupid 😐 we have to do it ourselves if we want this effect in the states. Thank you so so much for sharing your trade knowledge with us all! You're an angel in the KZbin beauty community Kirsty!

[@janeebarber]

Tristan Smith I'm a nail tech in the US who has been pinching nails for YEARS. We exist lol

[@ApeDoogie]

Tristan Smith 💯 % agree with you. And if you ask them they look at you like you have here eyes 🙄

[@elymedinanails9681]

Not only that but most of them do strange things like filling the wrong way

[@ketolisciouslife]

Ya i've had my nails done by lots of technicians NEVER had mine pinched ever. Explains all the lifting problems i have i think.

[@luckyclover3874]

Not true ive been to many in the us that pinch u have to find the right nail tech. They r hard to find

[@joannecarroll5504]

Thanks for this, we weren't trained to pinch at college (South Australia), it's not in the qualifying curriculum & I always found the nail style they taught too big, flat, bulky & shovel-like. I bought myself a pinching tool after seeing it here previously & learning how it made the shape stronger. I took the tool to college on my next unit, only using the cuticle end as I hadn't been trained to pinch & my lecturer (10 years professional) asked to see it. When I asked if she would teach me to use the pinch end, she said it was totally unnecessary & revealed that she had never even seen a pinching tool before mine. I paid thousands of dollars to qualify correctly & safely from professionals & I often learn more here than I did at college.

[@vickylu88vl]

LOL I will have the post office to see if we have a good night at work I love the way home and I will have a good day at work babe love your pictures you doing tonight and tomorrow morning girl how much is it for you if you need to talk about the medicine for the new one and I will have to check on my mom if that's what I thought too I think it's the best way you could get me in my life only one who has been a while since I've had to take the day too so I can take

[@Sssssssslf]

@@vickylu88vl wtf?!

[@calderfam4355]

Thank you so much for this tutorial Kirsty! I have fat thumbs and middle fingers so pinching should work wonders.

[@dragongamerboi13]

The first and last time I ever went to a salon for nails...they didn't even pinch. When I saw you doing this I was like "what is this? They didn't do this to me." (my nails don't have a good C curve, they are nearly flat, so it would definitely be necessary) Also when it was time I decided I didn't want it anymore, they violently shoved a metal rod between them and PAINFULLY popped them off! It was so painful I was crying. Then, I tried to do gel nails on my own without much knowledge and that was a bad idea too because I really damaged a nail badly. Never went to fake nails again and just fix up my real ones, with plenty of cuticle oil and garlic. They are real nice now, but I find it intriguing to watch you work. The way you work is how it is SUPPOSED to be done, and from my experience in an American salon, and plenty of other experiences from what I hear as well, they don't put as much work into it as you do. You are amazing.

[@natalieraikadroka]

I love how you demonstrated with the paper to show how pinching strengthens the nail. I couldn't really get it till you used that demonstration. Thanks.

[@BajaRosie]

will kirsti be showing us how she did this clients thumbnail? it looks like foil and transparent/glass gels used

[@chloejones3700]

I met Kirsty yesterday in work!! She is so lovely❤️ Thank you for taking the time speak to me 🙈❤️

[@lolliyepop01]

do you pinch when a client has flat nails and no natural c curve at all ? I got 2 completely flat nails(problem nails!) that don't take well at all to being pinched any pinching on the 2 makes the product separate from the natural nail :(

[@clarehansonnailartist2560]

Loved this thanks Kirsty. I like pinching, but I know some of my clients at the time didn't like it even though I explained that it wouldn't harm there Nails. Can I ask you I've seen NTs use pinching clamps and clips are these any better than the pinching tool? x Another question, how do you deal with clients or do you have clients with uneven nails/fingers? x I also wondered if you could do a tutorial on how best to get better with timing on doing a full set of acrylics? I'm still struggling not only on myself but others too and can not get a set done in under 3 hours - don't know if it's because I'm a perfectionist or if I'm doing something wrong. x

[@CreatedByNoriElan]

Clare Hanson It takes me 2 hours to do a full set and simple design. The timing really puts me off! Clients are so use to NSS and their full set times of 45 minutes. It drives me mental when they ask why it takes so long!

[@mechellecat30635]

Have you watched Susie on NailCareerEducation here on KZbin? She has a vedio that might help you with your time.

[@karenmorris8644]

Practise will eventually increase your time, however, not every thing quick produces a good standard, and great nails done properly is a first priority always, so carry on doing what your doing x

[@hunnygreen4767]

Its because your a professional anything under an hour isnt good or ok. When u take your time and do it the way its suppose to be done the nails last a good 4 or 5 weeks before u need a refill

[@katiemills9548]

Would you pinch nails with tips or just sculpted ?

[@Tiasbuddy]

Katie Mills she pinched with tips also

[@ninalynch348]

Some are taught and told not to pinch as it can damage the nail if not done properly. This may worry some due to insurance!!! Xxxx thanks though it was a great demo xxx wish I could add you on fb, it says you have far too maby friends xxxx😂😂😂

[@AthenaProsperus]

Hiiii! Awesome video! Could you please tell me what brush you’re using? I’m really struggling to find a hood brush

[@PRINCESSNAILSBYDIANA]

Oh my god, ur teaching method is so wonderful u explain everything in such wonderful detail!!! Lüv it!!!🦄🦄🦄💅💅💅😍😍😍🖐😊🖐👍👍👍👍👍🦄🦄🦄

[@PRINCESSNAILSBYDIANA]

[@lynnvandevander5534]

This is something they know nothing about in the states. They need to be trained on it. Thanks for the video! Your work is amazing, best I've seen in years

[@nailsbyjhenn2809]

I have clients from the states who works over here in middle east. They were all amazed to see me pinching their nails.

[@dorothyfowler5735]

This is amazing! I've been getting my nails done for 16 years and I've NEVER had my nails pinched! Thank you for the insight!

[@Peigiful]

Hello from Denmark! Question: Does pinching only apply when doing "free hands" sculpting, or would anyone recommend doing this, if I were to try doing (my first ever!) acrylic nails with premade tips?? And thank you very much for all of these amazing and useful videos! You're lovely! 😍🦄

[@mom23js]

love ur vids ALWAYS! this one was very informative! love u kirstie! keep up the Amazing work!

[@xolabango1532]

❤❤ and I love the precision, even I as a beginner understand easily

[@NaioNailsOfficial]

Thank you! So happy you enjoy watching our videos :)

[@erinplummer635]

Thanks so much for making this video, I always wondered why some people pinched and others didn't. Love your videos 💖💜

[@mayaaaxo1143]

Can u also do pinching with Nail Tips or just with Nail Forms? X

[@tippib2222]

I have a pretty dramatic c-curve to my natural nail already. If someone were using forms that continued my c-curve beyond the free edge of my nail, would it still need to be pinched?

[@jennse19]

Tippi B maybe not as much

[@manuelaaude1822]

Is there a way ro do this with dip?? I find that the bond flattens out my nails

[@zebedeeheds-warrior4294]

Is it the same process for using gel Kirsty? xXx

[@Creepynightmarre]

Cure gel nail for 30 sec then pinch for a while and cure completely 90 sec. works for me :)

[@daturarose]

She's done videos on pinching gel before, it's a bit trickier I imagine. .... the videos I'm thinking of are a year or two old tho. ...I've been subscribed to this channel since before she was even the one on here doing it, there was this other lady years ago, gemma lambert ...anyway look through the older videos and there should be a few gel nail videos that'll help you

[@starshipboy2010]

you pinch right after you cure them while they are still warmish, she's pinched in a gel nail video before

[@V10l3tta1]

My nail just popped off lolololol.

[@vilmasandoval1356]

It’s the nail plate or bed safe and will not be lifted?!

[@prescolasawyer9341]

Such a great educator

[@valkolakk]

Very helpful. I had been thinking my sidewalls are too thick, so I slimmed them, but then they were so weak, so I'm guessing proper pinching is a better solution. When I remember more than a decade ago when shorter square pink and whites was just the be all end all, I can't recall seeing pinching ever. I would think that for the longer nail trend now and the new variety of shapes pinching would be much more obvious and necessary.

[@exorgirl]

I think some technicians don't pinch bc of the idea of an ingrowing nail and prefer "anatomic extention". browsing nail videos i noticed some just squeeze a c-curve lightly with their thumb nails. maybe i'm wrong, but imo an ingrowing nail can happen after pinching only if a client is a nail biter. when there's 1-2 mm of free edge present pinching should be safe, bc you don't pinch the whole nail bed

[@saradang5802]

im searcing and looking for the pinchers your using. unfortunately you dont have anymore online. the one i have isnt hard enough.

[@janelord3483]

Can you show a side view of were your putting the pincher thingies . I tried this a it hurt like crazy. I feel my positioning of the tool was wrong

[@clumsynelly]

What if the c curve is causing pain in the sides like a ingrown feeling are they just too tight ?

[@growlingcheetah]

We definitely need more of you and your video's ... it;s like i;m going through withdrawal waiting on vids LOL

[@girlunrepentant1254]

growlingcheetah me too! I hope everything is okay with her and the crew, because it seems like they've out out far fewer videos than usual, lately. I miss watching Kirsty's artistry and listening to her and Adam sass each other.

[@NaioNailsOfficial]

Hi, everything is great here. We're putting out the same amount of videos as usual, 3 a week on Monday, Wednesday and Friday. If you aren't seeing our videos give that bell a click and it will notify you every time we make an upload! 😀

[@karenmorris8644]

Me too, I used to watch Gemma Lambert, but I do prefer Kirsty, she explains how and more importantly why? I have learnt so much on here, keep em coming .kirsty x

[@tgj771]

So if I naturally have flat nails will them being pinched into a c curve cause any pain?

[@tgj771]

Like over time

[@selenealvarez4268]

Me encantan tus creaciones..no entiendo el inglés pero siendo visual, puedo captar lo que enseñas..mil gracias por compartir hermosa.. Bendiciones 😘🙏😉 Me encantaría lo hicieras en español😊👑😘

[@gerdagoossens-vanspanje7552]

I have a question. do you do that only with acrylic or also at gel? and can you make a video about the various file attributes of the electric file that seems like very interesting. Greetings from Gerda from Netherlands

[@beyoudee687]

One problem i have is not working so quickly (im new to doing my own acrylics and you are 1 of the 1s who taught me everything!) But then its dry in some spots and wet ontop and i sqoosh the nail lol. Gotta just learn to skill it lol getting better every time tho

[@missnatcula]

My friend has a really nice natural C curve and when I did her nails I didn't need to pinch cause the product already was in the shape of that C. But my nails are super flat and when I put product on them I have to pinch cause there will be no C curve at all. I think that is kinda important to think about.

[@LoHye123]

If you were to give the form a spine or something that you fold it down the middle, but you don't stick them together, like a under V curve instead of an under C curve under the acrylic nail, and then you have a normal round top, is that possible?? Idk if im explaining correctly, haha!

[@jeemketphasook1499]

I don’t know if anyone asks this question already. I am a newbie nail tech, do I pinch if I use tip extension!? Thank you

[@RosaMartinez-rh8ce]

I wouldn't recommend because the tip is hard u could risk it breaking. But I would try it in a practice nail before you try it on a client

[@izzykitty447]

You can pinch with tips but some tips arent strong enough to do it with

[@heavenlymcdevitt3809]

If you use tips instead of a form, do you still need to pinch?

[@pppllluuuttteeennnn]

And what if it's a gel nail? :D do you pinch after curing for a few seconds and then repeat a few times?

[@V.CatCroissant]

HI, QUESTION: if I had my nails done and pinched regularly, would/could they start growing out in a "slimmer" shape? I have fanned nails (I think that is what Kirsty called that kind of nails in one of her videos), they look like shovels, and I always have to file a round edge, which makes them a lot more unstable. :( I have never been interested in having nail extensions but if it could really change the shape of my nails for the better (the way they actually GROW OUT), I would definitely consider it. Does anybody have any experience with that? A colleague told me her nails are growing in a nicer shape now after she has been getting a gel overlay(?) for some time, but I can't really believe it.

[@Tajagee123]

Queen!

[@eviele6990]

It's all about the foundation and the structure of it! I'm learning a lot thank you Kirsty!! I love the metaphor example with the paper.

[@abytvaty1466]

Subtitulos en español por favor me encantan tus diseños pero me gustaria entender mas

[@mamapoint3552]

I must admit I am SO frustrated. I have searched all my local nail salon and NONE will pinch! :'( so so so sad!

[@annawessman4029]

I think this is why I have problem with wearing acrylics. No one ever pinched in Sweden (I don't think they were trained either, because they didn't have proper contamination skills either..... ugh. SHUT. THEM. DOWN!) and it really makes my nails painful! I have really strong and sensitive nails and I always found it funny how no one really does this. Seems fundamental when you see it. I had tooth ache in my nails for a week and I don't understand why. I've been feeling like something has been missing, but I couldn't put my finger (no pun intended) on it. Then I saw it on here, and maybe my query has been silenced. Last time I did nails of any kind, it's like I could feel the fibers pulling my nail in different directions. I slept with mittens like Edward Scissorhands. Big blob nails, with no elasticity. AND they were cured, which only adds to chock setting and concrete nails. In my case, I'd go with the basics, but I couldn't do it for myself. Maybe I will....soon haha! Fundamentals anyone? This makes so much more sense to me. You have to work with how the acrylic behaves. I will start pinching instanstly! And I'm not even a nail pro (yet? hahaha, 2019 bears new adventures hahaha)

[@valkyreve]

Great explanation. I haven't heard it explained like this before. Loved it. TY :)

[@erikacaldwell9412]

I've heard people say that pinching can lead to onycholysis. I don't think that is really an issue unless the pinching is done incorrectly... If you keep your pinching tool away from the nail bed and only pinch the free edge of your acrylic, there shouldn't be problems... The free edges of natural nails already bend and warp when exposed to water and other things on their own and there is no problem. But when you bust your finger in a door or something, you get leuconychia. So I could understand where those people are coming from. It really isn't common in the USA for manicurists to pinch, but alot of manicurists here are still using a freaking credo-blade even though it's illegal here... I think trends just take a while to catch on in the US...

[@SeanBrown23]

How do you pinch nails that are built using acrylic overlay with curved French white tips? I'm aware that you can pinch nails you build from scratch, but what about ones you don't build from scratch.

[@mssg_vee]

Please do video on pinching gel nails

[@seleneramirez8696]

Ojala pudieras crear un diseño mexicano para estas fechas ya que son los festejos en México y también ojalá pudieras hacer tus vídeos doblados en español ya que me encanta tu trabajo y te admiro mucho saludos desde Camargo Chihuahua 😘😍

[@missd1428]

Is there anyway to correct a DIP powder nail that has already set in which you had forgot to pinch this one fingernail out of entire set without having to Remove all product and start way from beginning again?! Ughh been looking everywhere online and so far haven’t found a single video or article or even discussion on this scenario! Please share your expert advice if can think Of anything

[@Bella.216]

Hell we can't even get a sculpted nail. They don't do forms just tips. They all suck. They just get u in and throw u out.

[@LaMerleNoir216]

I can’t even get anyone here to do a sculpted nail. The last salon I went to told me that sculpted nails were too weak and wouldn’t even do them. The problem is all the salons here are way more concerned with how many people they can get in and out. Quantity over quality. Because that’s how they make money.

[@TheMentalFitChick]

My tech does this!!!! Makes wider nail beds looks slimmer

[@mirlindaisaku6692]

Hey Kirsty, any chance you can do a nail video on how to fit a form on a natural nail that has a c curve. I struggled today fitting the forms for that type of nail.

[@chanelnoelle4127]

Is there anyone in NYC (preferably Brooklyn) who pinches nails?

[@daylight8208]

I did this on a lady who was newer to me and she pulled her hand back and said "what are you doing? The asians don't do that." I have no idea how to respond.

[@daydreambeliever6603]

If you have nails that have a deep c curve naturally, do you still pinch?

[@katymacdonald6524]

Why do you put the tab on the back? Also where do I get that pinching tool?

[@kayb1583]

HI! I wanted to buy the tool but it doesn't seem to be on the website anymore. Do you have any in stock and if I live in Canada can I purchase things?

[@NaioNailsOfficial]

I am so sorry, our pinching tool is currently out of stock 😢You can place an order from our online website and choose Canada at the end of the ordering process. 😘😍 xxx

[@kayb1583]

😟 oh no! But I'm excited I can order to Canada!! 😍 Do you know when they will be in stock again?

[@IMPERFECT32]

Can you still pinch nails if they have a nail tip on or is this just for nails that don't have an extension?

[@danielaneitzke7596]

thank you so much, pls do more nailschool^^

[@kaile1717]

What size pinching tool do you use?

[@myoung6968]

Kirsty Meakin Naio Nails Since I've no professional educators that teach forms where I am located (that I'm aware if in any case), I watch several different vids to educate myself. Yours are VERY informative. I do have a question about technique on form placement for longer nails. I've noted form placement at slight downward slope on several other vids. You place it at a slight upward slope. I wonder if this is a preference? Or another reason? Thanks!

[@rosux5540]

if u think u r hot if u got this go see a doctor. guys just think you r a witch ;D

[@TheBetheeboo]

Can you also demonstrate pinching on a gel nail.. Please

[@angelamelville67]

Do you still pinch with gel nails ?

[@jitespinoza5850]

Can u pich with polygel and dual forms ?

[@KirschZwerg]

Schade das du keinen deutschen Untertitel zeigst, ich schaue dich sehr gerne, aber mein English ist echt nicht gut 😥

[@titch_can_i_nail_it3847]

when you say collapse the side's, do you mean that the acrylic will end up leaving a line of acrylic above the pinching tool because it wasn't set enough? @#KirstyMeakin

[@TinyTim339]

What about when you use tips? Can those be pinched after acrylic application or do you do it before?

[@douglarasta]

If i don't have a pinching tool what can I use?

[@3llevate]

I'm not a nail tech but i've been doing this to my natural nails since i was in highschool. because a few of my nails don't have a natural c curve and filing the sides to avoid duck nails would just make them weaker.. i was explaining it to a friend recently the exact same way, with a sheet of paper lol

[@livinlikeriley]

I have watched Naio Nail for years and have been using pinching tools on my nails.

[@missamylynne86]

I got the brilliant idea from somebody on KZbin to use a pair of needle-nose pliers! So I went and bought myself a cute craft fair and I have to tell you it works amazing! I don't use it on my clients however because I am shy to bring it out LOL but there's a couple that know about it and love me using it LOL. Also I do have all of the best pictures. Those are what are used for typical client, along with the tip pinch technique.however most of my clients don't get long enough now to these detect pinched anyways. Unfortunately. That's always love you videos personality and your designs.

[@elymedinanails9681]

And thats why I love european people..... They always go far in everything !!!! Searching the best !!! 👍👍😍😍😍😍😍

[@kgaskins01]

Is there a tutorial for your nail design you're wearing in this video? Is it a foil nail design?

[@angiesmith716]

Hello Kirsty. Quick question. Should I pinch a square tipped nail? I don't want a c curve but still want a strong edge. Thank you so very much for sharing your knowledge.

[@jessicataylor4440]

What brushes, brands, sizes, etc do you use? I live in the US & I'm new to the nail world. I am currently using an alpha and sometimes a pana brand brush. I find the alpha to be too soft and like limp and the pana to be too stiff. Any recommendations and where I could purchase would be soooo helpful. I'm not certified, yet so that makes it difficult to get my hands on quality products, too. Ugh 😑

[@marabalale630]

I am not familiar with pinching and just now, as you are a great mentor, I see how important it it! I would like if you did more videos on this like, what other tools can be used for that, I have a set of dotting tools that can be used, but I haven’t seen them being used that way. Also, is it possible to give a c curve to dipping powder users, and how about gel? love you❤️

[@ranjitabharji6234]

Hiya! Amazing work. I like the way you explain. Thank you so much. Also very impressed with the nail art on your nail at the moment in this video. Please show us how you did it .Thanks xxx. Love you..

[@subblonde3101]

omg this is the answer i've been looking for.....ive always wondered why my nails could never look as slim as the pictures i see on instagram!! Ive always hated how 'wide' my nails looked when done, but i don't have big or fat nails..

C'est dommage qu'il n'y pas les sous-titres en français ca a l'air intéressant 😅

Thanks Kirsty for the excellent explanation on pinching! I was never told or taught to pinch when I was in school. I wonder how long it has been around or taught??

Thanks. Very useful. Still love Kirsty's tutorials. Informative but still entertaining. ❤
