Popular Nail Shapes Explained - For Nail Techs and Students

In this video Kirsty explains 4 different nail shapes including Ballerina (coffin shaped nail), Competition Square Nail, Stiletto and Edge Nail

[@wrickyred]

Kirsty's nails make me feel like a failure as a nail specialist. 😥 The gems, beads, lines, etc.. Just so beautiful!! ❤❤❤

[@machinegunkayley6047]

I’m sure she has years and years of practice and experience. Just keep practicing you’ll get there!

[@psychswot]

If you break stiletto nails.. "oo look at that I've got ballerina nails!!" XD haha great vid, thanks :)

[@Shesamiracle]

Me today 🤣

[@traceychristiansen7760]

thanks for sharing this!!! I'd like to see more!! Almond and all the variations, oval, square, etc

[@kawestley1965]

you really a great teacher I'm sending it to who's done my nails for years

[@Hbomb411]

I know this is an old video but it's still very helpful and relivant, so thank you.. perhaps you need to raise those awards up in the background so they're more visible to the 75 haters giving your video a thumbs down 😂🤦 as always, love your work❤️

[@bonk9431]

I know this is an old video but about the stiletto nails: omg! I've been getting them for a few months now and they don't have a C curve at ALL, and I've been having troubles where they break. I seriously need to go somewhere else

[@johexxkitten]

The ballerina does look more like a coffin as you go shorter... I don’t mind the coffin name as I’m a goth chick at heart. But I do agree ballerina looks and sounds nicer.

[@montannadanelle2318]

You should do definitely have workshops. I could learn so much from you as a new nail tech!!

[@cindyjoy5147]

Bless you for these tutorial videos, Kirsty!

[@jennyarmstrong9424]

Fantastic. You are a great teacher. Love working with Naio Nails products.

[@meghanworkman6449]

You make me smile. Thanks for all the great videos!

[@LysNicoleR]

Have you done a video about cutting the natural nails under the acrylic and then do an underside design?

[@jessicashorts2255]

loved watching this your explication was superb

[@tbjensen2007]

OMG! First off I love your videos!! ❤️❤️ I had to comment on your pic of the edge nail, looking from the top. Your illustration of the soft part on the apex had me cracking up!!! Take a look and have a good laugh! LOL!! 😂😘

I love your vídeos. I’m a big fan from your work. Thanks for inspire us with your knowledge.

[@melynalogan2832]

love the video .. I was wondering if you could show in a video hot to apply product near the cuticle. ..I really have problems with that never know if it's too high to thick please help with a close up video ♡♡♡

[@CoisasLegais_Paula]

me too!!! pleaaaaaase!!!!

[@TheGothicMother]

I think it's a common problem. Cuticles areas are like area 51! A mystery, no one is 100% sure what's going in and it probably should be banned! 😂

[@TheBetheeboo]

how do you pick a shape for you're type of nail... like some shapes look better on different shaped finger nails mine are narrow an have a really defined c curve

[@woolfulrebellion]

You have such an excellent attitude and I LOVE IT!

[@clarehansonnailartist2560]

I loved this Kirsty, I just wanted to ask, you video was very clearly understood from how you showed what the nail is supposed to look like after application. I was wondering if you have done a complete tutorial on form application for each one? I am qualified, but I'm off ill and also I'm confined to my bed, at present and trying to keep up to date with training including some home training - which are certified. One of them however, is driving me crazy because of form fitting and placement. I will not mention whom it is, but prior to doing this course I had no issues with form fitting etc. but now It's doing my head in. This is why I wondered if you had a tutorial that simplified form application and where it is placed prior to application whether the form is straight, tilted up or down, pinched at the end, open etc.? Sorry know that's a lot to ask, but I know your brilliant at nails Kirsty and need advice on the best way to do so your still showing photos of the right way to apply from all angles before product application. I'm a perfectionist even though I'm ill I want to be on top of my game and not be right back at the beginning if you know what I mean. Sorry, not a problem if you haven't I'd just thought I would pose this question to you. xx

[@dudediva69]

[@Hopeydopery]

I’m really late oops. But I love that you can see the fingers details just slowly depleting😂

[@tanyatophenyuk9757]

Вы такая классная, люблю Ваше видео 😙 СПАСИБО 👍

[@kristinowens899]

I used to get acrylics religiously, and before that I bit them religiously. Now that they're long, once they pass the end of my fingers a few of them just curl almost straight down. Is there anything I can do to fix this, without acrylic or gel? I still want to keep my own long nails, I've worked so hard to be where I am now!

[@Vaci11ie]

It was a good demonstration but next time maybe a few sample tips might help more😁.

[@abeck2011]

hi kirsty, I absolutely love your videos, I watch them as soon as they come out. Im just getting back into nails after being out of them for quite a while. Could you please demonstrate some of the different smile lines for me? Thank you

[@jenniferl.5924]

Great video

[@raearnawestgate4376]

great thanks x

[@hugsy29]

Does every shape nail need a c curve in order not to break?

[@ashee_chwaaannn]

So then what is the nail that looks like ballerina but isn't straight? Is somewhat round. It looks like almond nails but the free edge is straight not round

[@banditandbruiser]

Do you see duck feet or flare style nails

[@annitagonzalez9772]

Can you also do a video explaining about Gel Polish, like when u know they are ready to come out of the lamp?

[@gailmoreta]

very informative. . thanks

[@martineleygue2316]

[@kimlesley8184]

Would love a diagram and complete description of a gel pipe nail. Want to try them but it's taking forever to get my courage up! lol Thanks in advance for any replies.

[@mirikira8632]

Kim Lesley it's basically a competition square, deep C curve and filed like an edge or russian almond if that makes any sense.

[@strawhat6363]

I love Edge nails

[@judidios]

Greatttttt thank you so muchhhhhhhhh

[@nadabuzatov8068]

Bravo explained Kristina nice :): *

[@kathbeth43]

[@ellafacebooktruecrimecases3644]

I really struggle with achieving the shape. Filing so the sides like even.

[@unchainyourbrain3312]

[@daniavargas9395]

[@saraschlieer8029]

[@lucypullinger6196]

you do very good nails i wish u could do mine💅

[@vincenzascarfo7760]

Bonjour il serait possible d'avoir les sous-titres en français merci

[@Fioonnailsit]

Can you Also explain THE Almond form on paper?

[@crystalbarry923]

I thought coffin had.. 4 corners on the end. so the square edge, is filed on each corner... "competion square"

[@WHICHCRAFTER1031]

That would be a "casket" 4 sides...... coffin has 6 sides

[@jmsomeillan]

Hi, 😊.... could you make us a tutorial on how to do edge nail please.😉?

[@shamiyahfreeman8606]

where is you shop

[@shamiyahfreeman8606]

+Naio Nails OK I did your nail and it came out so pretty

[@administratorcorporate439]

Itsi bitsi and tun luni...🌼🌸🌹🌈

[@jaquelinewade]

Can you move to San Angelo Tx. I want you do my nails

[@Kelly101Girl]

if ur natural nails are really short and u don't have a large nail bed are coffin nails and stiletto nails bad or impossible to do? I normally get squares and and when I went to this nail shop in the mall the woman said I couldn't get the "sharp nail" because my nails are too short and it will break off but said she would do it for an extra 10-15 dollars depending the length. all I was thinking was wtf is this heffa just trying to milk me for more money lol

[@leighannemetcalfe8320]

Kelly101Girl they aren't impossible, just impractical for a nail biter or someone who's never had long nails. She's defo fobbing you off.... if you look at some of Kirsty's other videos her natural nails aren't long, and she wears ballerina and stilletto all the time
