Perfect Acrylic Bead Pickup Tutorial

[@SandyMergui]

I was just on a nail course and you have explained it better in 7 minutes than 2 days of training!!!! 💜💜💜💜💜💜

[@melindafrazer1427]

You are NOT wrong. Ive been accredited for 2 years and I wasnt taught this! (Im just so blown away. Im buying this mat and going back to square 1)

[@nattycat1105]

This 16min video has literally taught me more than my actual cosmo school, thank you so much!

[@miajohnson9015]

this was so good! 4 years of being a nail tech and this video changed application for me❤

[@iladybug57]

I think I’ve leaned little about beading! I’m going to give this a try on a fake nail before I even try my own nails. Your really a good teacher. I was taught about 39 yrs ago as a cosmetologist to do nails, never did them in my salon as the molymore was horrible and you just couldn’t breathe. They have cone out with much better applications so I’m going to try to refresh my memory

[@marialenak.8823]

I wish teachers were as good as you are! I literally learned acrylic skills from you ,kirsty ❤ my teacher back then was just... Blah... Thanks 🙏🙏🙏

[@josi_o]

Me too! My first course the teacher was terrible, I learned more here on youtube than with her haha, but I'm doing it again with a different school/brand here in Europe. My mistake was to take almost the cheapest course and I did not see the teacher's work, or any reviews, and next year I'm thinking about going to a Nail Camp! :) (This time I have seen all the teachers, and reviews haha)

[@MichelleJ1822]

I myself can’t go to school right now so I’ve watch a TON of videos and most are her because she’s a fantastic teacher!!!

[@melindafrazer1427]

you are NOT wrong. Ive been accredited for 2 years and WASNT taught this way. Im so blown away. Kirsty is an AWESOME teacher!

[@crystalloftis5019]

I am from the USA and have spent over $10,000 for school. I have been there for three months. I have had a hard time picking this up. Or messing with acrylic and in 16 minutes you have taught me more then what I have learned in school and I figure out what I have been doing wrong Thank you so much. You make beautiful nails and I hope I'm a quarter of the nail tech that you are. You are amazing. Thank you again

[@handycrafted816]

This is the most informative acrylic bead video I've seen!

[@cynthiawebber6468]

I'm not a nail tech, but I learned a lot about proper bead formation/application, so I know what to look for when I have my nails done. Thanks Kirsty!

[@Ang3l4271]

You and Susie (nail career education)need to Collab together would love to see

[@SeabassFishbrains]

It'd be a lot of travel, Susie is in Victoria (Canada) and Kirsty is in the UK.

[@lauren1266]

She mentioned in a q&a video that they’ve been trying to but they have conflicting schedules. Every time they get a collar scheduled to film, a trip pops up that one of them has to do and the filming gets cancelled. But they are trying! Susie mentioned it too.

[@brandym784]

Agree

[@mauistarz8302]

I second that! That would be extraordinary!!

[@rainaaahgoding5042]

Facts even if it is just a webinar because they are in different countries that still be cool as f***

[@nanajenk4830]

Amazing teaching , I never fail to learn something new when watching you. Thank you for sharing 😆

[@melindafrazer1427]

Ive been accredited for 2 years and I wasnt taught this!! (Im just so blown away. Im buying this mat and going back to square 1). You have made me cry because now I know why I was having so much trouble. thank you thank you thank you.

[@lashawnablanton4649]

You are such a good teacher,I wish I lived close to you.

[@keishamills7159]

OMG! I was originally trained about 26 yrs ago. I havent done nails (acrylic in 20 yrs). This yr I decided to do nails again. This video was very informative! You gave me tips that will help me immensely. Thx

[@redheadpeachboy]

This is amazing! Kirsty are you selling those templates at all?! Would love to purchase and practice. 🥺

[@gianailsthepowerof3917]

Thank you for breaking stuff down so eloquently. Doing nail tech work is time intensive and a closed world it seems. People tell you to practice practice practice but they don’t tell you how to practice. And your work right. You show people how to work right. Another thing that you’re right about is that I paid a lot of money to learn how to work great. I don’t think people understand that the reason you get into this business is toSave money and make money. I think the states should be more like you in the UK. As you know I followed you before I started school during school and now I’m still following you after school trying to get faster and better so I can be competitive and pay back some of these big ass loans that I have a cured LOL thank you for still being one of my inspirations

[@chantellecampxxx]

amazing, it feels criminal we get this for free!!! thank you so much for sharing your knowledge

[@tiggystreats]

I live for you!! You have inspired me to become a nail artist myself so thank you for giving me a purpose again!! Love from the US 💙Taegan

[@missgorefan]

You're such an awesome teacher. Very concise and clear, but encouraging others to modify and make methods work for them.

[@uhaneokalanijames8029]

teaching is a gift, and you definitely have that gift!! a lot of knowledge was given in this one video, thank you!

[@Nichelle543]

This is so well explained and I really appreciate it! We didnt even touch on this diagram that was on our papers. So glad to know and understand what it's used for. I am currently in a nail course and I feel like I'm being cheated out of so much time to be able to properly learn and be shown everything I need to be a successful nail tech. I will definitely be watching your videos as I go on to.help me with all the things I'm not taught or we barely speak on in school! Tysm Naio Nails!!!

[@claudiabell116]

This method has seriously just blown my mind. Such a better application! You are amazing Kirsty!!

[@teach.her.glam9986]

This is THE BEST tutorial I’ve ever seen! I’m a public school teacher in the States and I’m going to cosmetology school to become a part-time nail tech to help my students and their families. Thank you for this!!!! 💓💓💓💓💓💓

[@belinda8591]

Love that practice sheet! How cool is that! I'm definitely going to try the three step walk and pick up of beads. Great video! And I spy a cameraman 😁

[@carrieslantern9224]

You are a cool nail tech and your teaching is awesome. Happy that you share this on youtube, I've been at a loss on pearl sizes for a long time. I normally just do a nail kit from a dollar or discount store.

[@cynthiat6505]

Neat that Adam is there with you. You are so perfect together. And you are a true educator!

[@Whitemoonwolf132]

I'm sitting in my nail school right now practicing this. Thank you so much! This definitely helps. I'm gonna show some of the people around me this video so hopefully this can help them too :)

[@alysskennedy8661]

I bought mias secret acrylic kit and I purchased a better brush. I used Mia’s brush first then switched. I was able to get a good result from the brush included in the kit, however the kolinsky brush is really good. Anyway long story short it was my first time and I am quite impressed with what I’ve done I’m left-handed and I was able to do my left hand really well my right hand even better. I want to keep practicing and do more peoples nails I need people to do their nails LOL. Your videos are very informative and I appreciate you.

[@melissacrosier6190]

Kirsty, you are absolutely my favourite nail tech. I love how you explain every step in this course. Just from watching this video I've learned the proper way to get the best acrylic nails. Mind you I need tons of practice still but if it wasn't for you I'd be struggling really bad. Lol I love you. I think you're an awesome person with a great heart ❤️ Thank you so much for all your videos. You ROCK!!! 🤘🏻🤘🏻

[@brittscreations1933]

I"m super excited to begin practicing nails. I have saved this video and found the nail bead practice sheet so that I can follow along with this video and teach myself for the time being. I love how detailed this video was and how clear and zoomed in it was to make it easier for us to follow along with you!'

[@msattuide2002]

Where did u find the practice sheet

[@ambertovar8963]

This truly has helped me! I do my own nails and I have always struggled with powder to liquid ratio. This technique you taught fully explained the method from start to finish! Thank you, ❤ from the US

[@jodieduckworth1544]

I am so grateful for these videos. You are a brilliant teacher and your work is always flawless x

[@gilliansilvester5596]

Kirsty that's brilliant instruction, could follow you clearly. Thank you, also love love love your videos. Xx

[@devious_mae]

Might have an obsession with Kirsty!! Always watching and learning from your videos! Thank you for sharing your talent!! Sending u love from USA ❤️💙

[@Bestblondwoman]

Just wanna say for you a huge thanks for your tutorials, love it so much and it helps me to learn. Thanks a million!!!

[@leahanthony9959]

Love this totally agree with all the different ways in the UK you can be taught to do nails I did 3 different courses and I’ve learnt more watching you thank you 😊 Xx

[@calichef1962]

So you don't have cosmetology schools in the UK? Is there any testing, or are there licensing requirements? I live in California and manicurists have to do a 600 hour manicurists' course at a cosmetology school and then take an all day state board examination in either San Francisco or Los Angeles. Practical testing is in the morning and written testing in the afternoon. You take a break between practical testing and written testing for lunch, and then a 30 minute break after written testing before you find out if you passed or failed. (When my grandmother got _her_ license in the 1930s she had to wait for a letter that came six weeks after her exam to learn if she'd passed or failed.) Thankfully, I passed the first time. I'm just sorry I later gave my license up just because I wasn't currently working in the field. I was about 25 at the time and I didn't think I'd ever want to work in the beauty industry again. Boy, was I wrong! What can I say? I was young, dumb and full of rum. ;-)

[@siouxhazeldon2545]

You're a great teacher, thanks for the informative videos you do, I learn so much. I really want to do a nail tech course, it's so expensive. I've learned so much from you & others on KZbin. Thank you once again! 😊

[@bethloudin1161]

So excited you're doing these I wish I could take your courses but I'm in the USA but love watching and learning!!

[@donnamiramontes8330]

You are so inspiring. Thank you so much. I've been doing nails since I was a little girl and am still trying to perfect my nail game. Your tips have helped me tremendously.

I’m amazed with all of your videos ! Thank you I learn from you honestly... my instructor has not taught me nothing about nails ... very disappointed to go to school for something I love hair and nails , & I have learned nothing proper ... it has all been self taught for me :(

[@laurennasca-davis7747]

Best video! Been a nail tech for 7 years, but just learning acrylics as I’ve never worked in a spa that offered them. I wish I could take your course.

[@fallenangel5346]

I love and appreciate when you do videos like this. It helps so much because even when we know these things sometimes some people tend to pick up bad habits along the way and forget the essential basics. Thank you so much for sharing 💖 Love you bunches girly

Hi Kirsty! Angie from Norfolk, Virginia here and I would like to say that you are an amazing instructor! Just breaking it down to basics. Thank you!! 🙏🏼 ❤️

I’m drawling you’re map so I can try. Getting beads was the hardest part for me. I watched videos on every other aspect except for making beads. Your video is extremely helpful. Thank you!

Learning lots again, i wish you could come to Netherland to teach, and i wish i could have such a practice sheet, love your teaching, love your personality 😍😚

That's an amazingly clear demonstration. I soooooooo want to learn how to do acrylics - thank you sooooo much for sharing!!

Thank you, thank you, thank you! I needed this video. You have taught me what I was doing wrong and how to do it right. Thank you from a stay at home mom, who just wants to do her own nails and save some money.

[@robzombieshot]

We were taught those exact steps back in the 80s. I find nail techs now a days don't know how to give awesome manicures with great massages. I had clients come to me because I had that area better then others. Id walk out of the shoo with over 1k just in tips a day.

[@lovelyjuicylee1913]

This is Highly Helpful!! Thank you.

[@mahoganysoul001]

I really love how you described every move you make because I was able to compare it to what I was doing and realizing how doing that could help me. For example, when I would pick up a bead I would pretty much drag it, causing it to leave some of the acrylic on it. Not to mention there are others I noticed🤭 but absolutely great video

@@VeraPenedaGlitzyNails its Kristys own placemat so it wont ever be on Naios website.. everything Kristy creates will be on her own website.. she isnt allowed to promote her own brand on another company's channel.. get what I'm trying to say? Hopefully it makes sense lol Naio wont respond back bc it's not there product its hers with her name on it.. Try Kristys website it may be there but I have a feeling they arnt for sale and she only uses them when she is teaching a class.. hope that helps 😊

[@starr2670]

I'm a just starting out again nail tech. I've been licensed in cosmetology for 17yrs just haven't practiced in years. I noticed I've been struggling with a few things. I do the 3 bead application but I'm noticing product being left behind on my brush and it then becomes a bit messy and I can't figure out why. Also I also don't fan my brush when removing it from the monomer but it still seems to be too wet of a consistency. Also.....what size brush and brands do you recommend as well as acrylics for just starting out again and what do you clean your brush with? I've followed you on fb for a long time I'm glad I found this video on here. TIA

[@amparobelver7131]

I agree you are a very good teacher!

[@dorajuarez3080]

Thank you Kristy for saying "turn your brush over to pick up bead" after you dip in liquid! I may sound dumb but I do my own and it took me awhile to figure it out! Where can we get those traing sheets, and I love that you are giving us beginner courses.You are the best!
