WOW!! Dual Form HACK Using A Nail Tip - No Filing Needed Underneath!!

Hi Guys,
So in today's episode, I'm going to teach you how to do a Dual Form over a tip because I have this little idea and I want to try it out on camera. HOW EXCITING?!?
We've done a Dual Form application before but felt as though that it wasn't quite as neat as I'd like it to be so I got this BRILLIANT idea of using a tip to straighten the nail underneath the dual form.
Can I just say that this was a test? We had no idea whether this was actually going to work or not.
So guys, I applied a tip in the regular manner and prepped and primed my nail. I then applied the acrylic to the Dual Form like you have seen me do in the previous videos and pressed it down onto my nail. Now, this did work slightly differently from the previous times as the acrylic squished out of the sides a bit but as long as you make sure to get rid of the excess it's all hunky dory.
You will be happy to know that this technique doesn't require you to file and buff that much, we've eradicated that pesky filing underneath the nail for you guys that don't have an e-file and all you have to do now is just make sure those Side Walls are right.
Anyways, thanks for watching the video and be sure to subscribe to our channel so that you can watch more fantastic nail tutorials. Also remember to check out our 1MIL Subs Giveaway video to find out how you could be in for the chance of winning A FANTASTIC iPAD AIR 2!!!
Love,

This is exactly what I need as a beginner.

[@kathbeth43]

cinnabunnyy same here

[@chapstikcrazy]

Yeeeeeeeeeeeessssss

[@rachelbrindley1786]

Ambika Williams keep trying - I was the same but found gluing on a normal tip then applying the polygel straight over then curing and shaping like in this hack was the way to go for sure! So much easier!

[@rachaelpwells]

Great idea.i have long nail beds and don't like my nails "claw like" I like them to look natural, do you have to have a high apex?

[@rachaelpwells]

And did you cure that nail?

[@itsjustme1139]

I'm so glad you made these videos! I really struggle with acrylic application and sometimes I just want pretty nails without spending 5 hours on them haha. Thank you!!!!

[@juleenforbes]

Perfect for doing your none dominant hand.

[@LovesofJBNeet]

Juleen Forbes Hi! Yesss, I was thinking the same

[@ericajsa2357]

Me too😅

[@Progressive_Alien]

Having a paper form and using the dual form over it also helps.

[@presentpalace5722]

Please explain in detail.

[@ericajsa2357]

Present Palace ....What Marie Preston means is , instead of using a tip (to prevent the blob underneath the nail) after using the dual form on top, you can use the nail form(which we use to sculpt nails with. Hope this helps you.

[@CasuallyObservant]

@@presentpalace5722 - here is a little more detail. You know those paper foil things they wrap around your finger and under your fingernail to provide support to build length on your nail with an acrylic or gel product? They are called Nail Forms. The idea is this: When your nails are clean and prepped, file your natural nail length down to a short length, just enough to be able to fit and grab a paper Nail Form under the curve of your natural fingernail. Then select a clear plastic curved Dual Form that matches correctly your own fingernail size and cuticle shape. If it is a little off, file or trim it to be exact. Put a dab of Polygel on the underside of the plastic clear Dual Form and spread it evenly with your brush. Add more as needed. When smoothed to the length and thickness you desire, gently press the clear Dual Form on to the top of your fingernail that already has the paper foil Nail Form on it. Clean away any excess that squeezes out. Cure under the lamp. After cured, remove the paper form from underneath the nail and turn your finger over and cure the underside separately. Remove top form. This should result in a perfectly smooth and properly shaped bottom nail and also a smooth top nail after curing. No under nail drilling required. This uses the best combination of tools to save time and give a superior result with minimal filing.

[@pearlaudelo1366]

I tried this and I'm new so I cant get the right slip/gel ratio and the paper just slips off

[@houseofschenck6230]

I wasn't able to use both together because my dual forms curve too much to make contact with the paper form. Instead, I discovered last night that I can use a paper form to create a layer of polygel. Then I cure it, remove the paper form, and use the dual form to add another thin layer on top. It worked great!

[@deejay4368]

Been doing my nails like this for awhile as I have tremors in one hand and this was the only way to have a clean beautiful finish lol. Its exciting when you discover something new, especially when it works!! Love this channel!!

[@minniesun7173]

When I got my acrylic nails done at the salon they used the same technique! It is absolutely genius and easy!

[@shannonherman7538]

I put the tip underneath my nail and the dual form on top and when cures it's nice and smooth underneath when I remove tip

[@houseofschenck6230]

You remove the tip after applying the Polygel and curing? How do you get the tip to stay put if you don't glue it to the nail before applying polygel?

[@catladyjai1113]

I used to hate working with acrylic since nail school over 20 years ago. But you've just inspired me to get some acrylic and work with it again

[@chrissieharrison3579]

Great minds think alike, I love was really struggling with the underside of the poly gel and was never happy with the results. I completed a full set last week and was over the moon with the result and saved a lot of time. Looking forward to lots more new ideas. You are my inspiration, thank you 🙏 x

[@blondesense1708]

I am slowly going blind and doing my own nails is one of the pleasures that has slipped away. I think I can do this! Thank you!

[@noranightmare1569]

This video literally changed my life. Until I followed this video, my acrylics were always hot garbage, despite having been doing them for a decade. Now I can bust out a salon worthy set in the time it takes to watch an episode of Claws. You’re my hero!!! 🖤🖤🖤

Kirsty, thank you , thank you, thank you. I am the worst when it comes to doing acrylics, now I have a full proof way of doing them. Get me some dual forms and I'm all set.

[@shruffles35]

That was AWESOME!!! I knew it would work, because the forms are made out of a different material that acrylic will not stick to, whereas the tips are meant to adhere. Thank you for doing this vid!

[@MelissaHarrispuffubble]

Ahhhh, the screech with my migraine *holds head* lols, so epic that this works. It's perfect for clients that don't have a lot of time and perfect to use on the non-dominate hand. Awesome!

[@juliaferrier4520]

I am SO glad you're doing this because I had the same idea because of the underneath of the nail! Great minds! 👊

[@princessdianna82]

Julia Ferrier I’ve always used them over top of tips. I started using dual form about 5/6 years ago.

[@nixiadel]

Julia Ferrier been doing this with paper forms for a year. Use the paper form to get the base I want then finish with the duel form to get the perfect dome.

[@lindanichols7893]

I like to keep my nails fairly short, using a French tip extension. As soon as I receive the tips, I'm going to try this with clear polygel!

[@johnnettvinson2285]

OK I’ve been contemplating this for a while. I even got myself a cheap pair of dual forms. After watching your video last night I just had to get up and try it. And although I had some oozing out of the under side of my nail. I think I used a bit too much acrylic but the one I tried still turned out awesome. Thank you so much for getting me the courage to try this. More dual formed acrylic nails to come💋💅🏾

[@cricketcricket9749]

I use white tips with dual forms.....instant french nails!

[@erinantonia]

Do you use a light pink over the whole nail (tip included) and it works? it doesn't make the white look too pink?

[@SpottedTiger89]

Oooh, interesting! Then you just file off the excess?

[@jflo7013]

@@erinantonia I do the French tips with clear. Pink makes the tips pink and it's not cute. However, I will sometimes put a thin fill of pink to the bottom part of the nail, and then the clear with the nail form so it looks like pink and white. 😉

[@rebeccaofsunnybrook]

Put your tip on, prep the nail and add polygel (without duel form) just like you would acrylic. 👍🏻 I do mine with that application. Edit: If you wipe the polygel after curing with alcohol it will get rid of the sticky surface left after and it won't gunk up your file.

[@nailslast3]

I have also used these for about 10 years, I like them on me if I am in a hurry but I prefer regular acrylic on my clients. And yes I prefer the tips to just using acrylic.

[@jolewis06]

Pam Smith oh yeah on your your own nails is genius! I hate doing my own!

[@christinaleister1387]

They are also good for nail techs (like myself) who have nerve issues and struggle with doing their own nails without pain; especially when trying to do the dominant hand. Or for clients that can't sit for long periods of time (2-3 hours, etc), or for mobile techs who have to travel light, etc. I feel, imo, that this is an ingenious invention.

[@tanyamarie3255]

Thank you!! Tried this and WOW!! I have been struggling...well not no more.

[@msdree123]

Can this be done with polygel instead of acrylic

[@doniellerochester1735]

Yes you can

[@primrosemartin1]

Well, I tried but now I'm not sure. I noticed that within a day of wear, the polygel lifted off the nail tip because the plastic, just like the dual form, didn't stick to it after curing. This caused moisture to be caught between the polygel and the plastic tip where it separated once hardened. Your manicure may lift from the nailbed prematurely from that moisture between the polygel and the nail, even if you properly applied your form to the base. Perhaps by applying an added gel coating to the top, sides, and underneath you can encapsulate the tip and prevent this separation?

[@Rdhddbtch]

I’m going to try it tonight. I would think as long as I prep the tip like I do my natural nail it will work. I use a base coat so that should keep the poly gel from popping off of the plastic tip right

I did this 10 years ago, it is as old as that.. look it up on youtube, they are also called poppits. You can make designs in the form and then apply a bit of clear on the nailbed area in the dual form and put it on the nail. So its not the future but the past ;) xxx

I think in one of the videos she mentioned that it's not new, she's done it before in her career but it's been so requested lately that she's doing it now and I'm happy for it, I'd love if more nail techs in my area used this technique. I'd probably get my nails done more if they did.

Slightly different method with gels since you need to do 2-3 layers for strength or the nail will be too thin, but absolutely :)

Yes! I use polygel (well a cheaper version) and it works fab! Instant nails almost.

Great idea. Continue to share your experiments. Enjoy your videos.

[@mawson0112]

What will happen if you do a dual form over a paper form?

[@VeraPenedaGlitzyNails]

Kimberley Mawson works as well, you just need to make sure the form is well stuck so it won't budge and don't press too much ;)

[@EverythingByNesha]

There is a video out doing that. Can’t remember who but basically will get same results. No filing underneath

[@staind.raindrop]

I bet if you just hold the dual form in place from the top you could mold the acrylic underneath with a brush, too. Or set the finger upside down against the table for support so you don't dislodge the dual form while you're smoothing the underside.

[@89krx]

It works well

The bad thing about these are now everyone is going to think they can do nails. They'll order from China and do them at home. then real nail techs loose money.

[@lovemyson480]

Christina Price you can thank chop shops for that one. If they weren't ripping off acrylics with nail tips, over filing the nail plate with a coarse bit, and using cheap mma products. Its a fad though because these came out over 10 years ago and for some reason resurfaced as the great new late 2017 trend along with polygel and dip powders. Lol i agree with what you're saying though...sucks for real great nail techs.

This technique is there since many years now, and a good salon will stay. Because it’s of the wellness and the good feeling of not doing itself!

[@veervdh]

there are very few people that can manage doing their own nails to that level. And not everyone has time to mess around with acrylics for hours for mediocre results. Quality work will always be appreciated. If i was allowed to wear long nails to work i’d probably have someone do them. unfortunately i’m limited to only wearing nail polish on my two days off, on wednesdays my nails have to be clean and short again, so no stilettos for me😫

Thankfully they are VERY different than getting a set done by a technician. You want a nice lasting set, go to a professional nail tech. I use them to overlay on my natural nails so they don’t rip ( always happens right about half way down my nail plate)

Shoot! When they stop charging me 5 bucks to fix a nail THEY messed up on, I'll start to worry... until then DUAL FORMS! lol

[@RedSumma]

Wicked Brilliant!!! Whoa! Next try on the list. The Einstein of nails you are. Thank you!🥳

[@joanitavandermerwe1874]

i literally had this exact idea a few minutes ago, but with a nail form instead of the tip. So cool!!

[@jojomart]
