Tapered Square Nail with Granite Design Using Mylar and Acrylic Paint.

Hi Everybody,
In this video, I'm going to show how to do a Granite Effect and we're gonna make it nice and cheerful, a nice Spring colour! Straight on with the Sculpting Form as I've prepped the nail already. It's going to be formed into a Ballerina shaped nail, a Tapered Square. See the way you can alter the form to fit different nails.
Now we have Soft Pastel Blue, Metalic Green, Bermuda Bay Acrylic Powders. Will be using some Glitter. This is mylar and it's chunky. Using these we will create the base colour, nice and thin layers, place and let it flow down the nail and blend. Be random or messy as it adds to the effect. Now with the clear, we will stick Mylar chunks to the design. Granite has shards of sparkle inside the stone so we're emulating it.
Now we're going to create some detail with some Polycolour Paints, I have Zinc White on some Backing Paper, then Brilliant Violet. Add a little water to the white to help it flow and draw some little veins around the shards of mylar, giving them a frame. Give the shards a softer edge, make it flow. You can see how we've framed those. With the Purple add 'shadow' in one area of the shard to add depth. Seal the paint with Urban Grafitti Top Coat.
A Granite Nail though its very, SPRING!
Make sure you share all of your creations with us on Facebook and Instagram.
Love Kirsty xxx

I still can't get over how beautiful this design is.

[@clarehughes1543]

I love blank slate ❤️. Nice nail, it’s very different.

[@lareinadeandalucia1726]

And this is one very pretty nail! Just like a gemstone....

[@catherineschannel357]

My Goodness! Bermuda Bay is a Beautiful acrylic!

[@kellyfield8003]

I’m ❤️ing Her ladyships new throne !!!!

[@kyndramb7050]

The first few minutes of this video were so helpful!!! It never occurred to me to trim the form!! Thank you!

[@funkiichiicka]

Such a gorgeous design. And I love when Adam asks qus because they are very useful qus.

[@splashnationnails4610]

Please do an Adam does Kirsty’s nails video, I bet he’s quite good with all the stuff he’s learnt from Kirsty. He seems very inquisitive

[@RuthNicholson]

I just wanted to let you know as a deaf person who wears cochlear implants I really appreciate that you put subtitles on every single video, I love being able to know for sure whats been said! I'm sure its actually for people who don't understand the stoke accent! I'm from Burton on trent and I encounter the same problem!

[@Call-me-Al]

I'm not deaf and I understand her accent easily, and I still love having subtitles! Being able to watch her videos even in noisy environments or on silent in environments you have to stay quiet is fantastic. Everybody wins :)

[@formyloveofsuds1912]

I Never knew she did captions thank you so much I’m not deaf but I do have problems hearing sometimes

[@RuthNicholson]

I wish more creators did subtitles that are available as soon the video goes live. Far as I'm aware Kirsty is the only one who does it on every single video.

[@Ibritadamfan]

Ruth Nicholson I wear hearing aids for both ears when my hearing goes on and off due to cerebral palsy since birth and I lip read if and when my hearing completely gone for days 😂😂😂😂😂

[@jessicat3762]

I don't see any subtitles....?

[@candismccall3597]

😱 I love it. If I was having a bad day ,and I had these nails I would just look at my nails and feel better

[@brekkevanek1615]

I live for your voice. Some of the most relaxing and informative content

[@christiannemclaverty5836]

I 💘 that nail. I 💘 that you added the purple for great depth & beauty. I want that nail😍😻

[@slivyivy4169]

The white lines made this sooooo pretty

[@kayladutton6148]

You and Suzie are my fav professional nail techs to watch on youtube. Cristine is my fav amateur nail artist who rarely does nail art tutorials 😂😂😂

[@ballookey]

I really wasn't sure about this when the first colors went in, and then the mylar flakes, but WOW, that's an amazing result! Just stunning!

[@colleenasteevesbos6975]

I love that look. The colors are also perfect.

[@feliciamadera4055]

Hello Kirsty I just wanted to let you know that I have been watching your videos for a couple months now and I absolutely love your designs. In fact I am actually fixing to go to school to become a manicurist/nail tech/nail desgner. I enjoy doing my own nails and have decided to go after that as a career. Also my 2 year old son likes watching with me. He even gets excited and says Naio Nail. Thank you for being an inspiration

I love this nail

[@kittsam2]

Absolutely LOVE this design

[@sheilanoneyabiz9379]

You are very creative, I love all of your designs. As for myself I’m not a professional or very fast due to my disability but I find that my nails get quite bulky as I add the Mylar, glitter etc. with acrylic before encapsulating my work so what I do is either place a layer of gel on my nail add my glitter etc. then give it a quick cure, or by simply using the sticky layer after curing the clear top coat gel then going ahead and encapsulating my art. I love watching your channel because you are very original and come up with such cool designs and neat tips and tricks. With that been said thank you for another awesome video and please keep them coming!!!!! 😃😃😃

[@fluffykat1]

Your personal nails are so pretty today!
