🌅💅 Three Techniques to do the Vertical Ombre French Trend 💅🌇

Ey up Duck!
You won’t believe what we are gonna be doing in today's video! I bet you are all sick of seeing it but people are asking for it so here it is… the Vertical Ombre! And I’m going to be showing you not one! Not two! But three different ways you can do it! Let’s get cracking.
I’ll be working on tips today so I’m going to start out by scoring the tip so our medium has something to grab on to then ill give that a clean-over with some clean-up solution.
Now I can give that a coat of base and cure that.
For my first nail I'll be using Gel and today I’m using Silly Billy and Sandra so I’ll paint my Silly Billy down one side of the nail and then I’ll paint Sandra on the other side then I can take my Fay’d Brush and I’ll work my way through that intersection to create a nice Fay’d haha get it? And I’m going to do that process twice curing in-between each to make a nice strong Ombre.
Now I’m going to create the French so we are swapping our colors around here I’m using the brush from the bottle but you can use a liner if you feel more comfortable so Sandra over the Silly Billy then Silly Billy over the Sandra and meet in the middle and the same again we will take the Fay’d Brush and blend them together and ill do two coats of those as well but we have to carve out our smile line on this set swell so to do that I’m going to take my 3D Adam brush and ill damp that in a bit of clean up solution and then I can cut into that smile line and make it neat again and then that can go in the lamp.
Now I’ll finish this one off with the matte top coat and cure that.
Ok nail two same again, buff over the tip, clean over, give it a base, but this time! We are going to give the nail a full cover of white out one coat will be enough and then we can take some pigment powders and ill be using the BrenDek Brush and ill fluff that out, ya see a fluffed-out BrenDek brush is perfect for pigment, so ill get some pigment on my brush and the smush it into the kitchen towel to saturate the brush and then we can burnish in our Ombre and that will stick to the tacky layer of the gel, so when you are happy with your blend you can top-coat that and give it a cure.
Ill Buff over my top coat to make it porous so we can use the white-out again and with that, we will paint in our smile line, and then we can cure that, and now we will apply the pigment in reverse to create this effect then clean up the smile line with the 3D Adam, dust off any excess and give that a top-coat of your choosing ill give this one a matte so we can compare with the gel nail.
Number three! Now this one is a bit of a cheeky experiment bonus so let’s see how we get on.
Same prep as before buff, clean, base, and then we will give this a coat of the Void Gel Polish and cure that, then we will give it a coat of Silver Fox (we come to learn it works better if you apply the silver fox to one side and then uses the Fay’d brush) and then use your magnet to push the pigment then we will use the same brush to reactivate the pigment on the other side and cure it! We will do two coats of that and then ill give that buff with that being a topcoat give that a wipe over then ill take my Void Gel again and paint in the smile line cure the gel and then we will repeat the same process only backward give it two coats and then a final top-coat and ta’da that’s it!
I hope you enjoyed this video and ill see you in the next one T’Rah Duck!
Lots a Love KM xoxo

That's the first time I've seen the magnetic version. It looks stunning! I love the sparkle! 🌟🌟🌟

[@renee9985]

Love gel polish. Cat eye was super creative. Great job

[@shortstuff2700]

Holy mackerel!!! You never cease to amaze me...im going along ..going along...watching... all of a sudden this masterpiece emerges! Thx Kirsty..hey from ont Canada😊😎🇨🇦

[@Heavenly_Hands]

Using pigments instead of gel polish will be a big help! This way I won't end up with a thick layer of polish that alters the cute shape of the nail Thanks! My fav nail was the one where you used the magic eye polish with the black The other two were bomb as well tho 🔥

[@carolumyi4768]

I love the nail that was done with the pigment color, and i think it would be the best set of nails to do in a salon.

[@tanyairizarry938]

I'll say 1st one.. & the black and silver 👌

[@looyosummers5796]

My favorite is the first one, but really they're all so different , can't choose, very cool effect.❤️

[@kissyfrog101]

I liked the color of the pigment nails, but the gel polish had the best ombré effect. I think the magnetic version is the most practical for salon nails though for the time it takes! Starbucks makes the best coffee!

[@paulakoncki4029]

That is why I love your videos so much, great tip putting the pigment powder on a piece of paper towel !!!💖💅🥰🌺🐘🐆

[@kareny8377]

Thanks for all your that you give teaching us how to do nails. You are extremely knowledgeable on your craft. This is not relevant to nails and a little late, but I’m very sorry about the passing of your Queen.😢 from my country, USA, to yours. It’s a sad time. She was a good leader.

[@decemberklock9239]

I love watching your videos I always get great ideas from you for my own nails

[@gymeni]

The matte top coat kind of lends an art deco look to it!

[@jessijacobs8]

Gorgeous! Loved the one with the pigment. It just popped so much more ❤️❤️ But all three were amazing 👏

[@soniabird6951]

I loved the black & the cat eye 🥰🥰🥰

[@fleurettenicoleturner5167]

I love the pink with the orange so I’m torn like the blend of the gel but the boldness of the color pigment and love the magic eye too

[@3llevate]

You can get the boldness in gel paints too

[@lorrieholsten2521]

They are all beautiful I am partial to the 1st one. It's like strawberry lemonade 😋.

[@oderindeomotayo6797]

You are the best I have seen so far n here's is the reason. U definitely know how to use acrylic powder to sculpt.... especially when u did the game of throne themed nails

[@gilliandavidson8700]

1, I love the pigment one best, 2, pigment would be quicker for salon, but I think more people would want the gel polish, and 3, I MAKE the best coffee lol. been trying this out and doing more than French with it I've done curves and horizontal lines, I just love it

[@BimmerBabe]

same for me. pigment is fast, easy and just over all a winner to me

[@laurenabader1197]

Loved the black,,gel one definitely for salon 😍

[@BT_CAD]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/b6eWnYuap5hsmpY

[@eurekaalston8789]

I love all of them. You are the GOAT I love everything you do.

[@carolynhennemem8227]

Love the 1st one.

[@bobiecollins7954]

I like the gel polish pink and yellow. It just looks crispier

[@candywilliams3734]

Love them all. But the last one, Black magnet one is the bomb! I think the pigment would be the most salon friendly. TFS! 💯💖🖤

[@BT_CAD]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/b6eWnYuap5hsmpY

[@MDeLorien]

The black and silver 🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤 Perhaps you could also mix the two top coats on the neon. Shiny on the smileline and matt on the tip ( or the other way lol )

[@jonanna8516]

Beautiful.

[@molsondutch93]

Love the magnetic ones!! Super cool

[@hallestoes1]

This is gorgeous! Magical

[@hollybyrd6186]

I love them all, but the black design is my favorite

[@dorindageorge7989]

You always amaze me with your art girl. Your always inspiring…thank you ♥️

[@BT_CAD]

[@sharexoshowxo]

Gorgeous as always!! Coffee pick for me is Starbucks. Of course, I am in Washington where it all began. The Seattle store that started it all is still there by the bay serving up magical brews all day. Pike Street fish market is down the walk, and the flower market is right there. Seattle today is a massive homeless encampment that the city approved of because it's too big to stop. So, enjoy your local Starbucks, avoid downtown Seattle, WA, and come visit us all in Eastern Washington!! We've got Starbucks everywhere here and not a big homeless crowd. It's way to cold here!!!

[@camillemorgan5682]

Costa is the best!!! I prefer the first ombré it’s looked soo much easier than the other two xxx

[@aurorazetina2430]

Love them all

[@kathytarman2302]

I love this design. So much can be done with it.

[@patriciadowney9252]

All of them are beautiful!!

[@NailsBySue]

I love the pigment one the best.

[@kathytarman2302]

I love the neon orange and yellow best. They are all great.

[@claro_ve6760]

Love It!!!

[@BronxLSanti-zy8xv]

Love them all especially the Black one ❤

[@ritacartwright9361]

Pigment for salon but gel is much better. You are fabulous 😍

[@nolalatvala4921]

The magic eye!!!!💕💖❣️💅

[@mzblondsbraidsetc]

My fave is cateye effect & probably faster in salon awesome demo..... 😊

[@h-leysanchez3397]

All 3 are so gorgeous, but I love the black with silver glitter 💯🤩

[@TheTonyVuko]

All three methods were great, the first two designs remind me of lollipops from like late 90's/early 00's!

[@margotbryson8219]

I loved the gel polish

[@cynthiahazebroek4281]

I like them all, but the polish one is my favorite and I think the one that is better for in salons. It gifs a better ombré french look then the pigment and the magic eye ones.

[@kristinebaker5477]

The pigment nail is the best. Starbucks 💙

[@elizabethmitchell0071]

All really cool...but that last one with silver fox is all me...I luvvvv that one😍😍

[@teresalewelling7318]

So beautiful.

[@dianeleverich3233]

I loved the black and silver 😍

[@danielleColeman18]

I love the magnetic one ❤

[@deirdreballou6341]

the black and silver one is my fav. and as far as coffee......I prefer coffee made at home.

[@wandaangel3754]

First off, love all the art you do. Love watching all your nail videos. True work of art. The magnetic cat eye one was my favorite. The middle one, my opinion, would have looked good with glossy top coat. And the first one really looked good with the matte coat. And, again just my opinion, Starbucks suck because they don't support our troops.

[@juliesheldon4772]

All are very cool. Love in the black and silver, so wish there was someone in my area that could do this.

[@02bigmamma]

Love these 1 & 3 are my favourites ❤

[@SimplePrettyNails]

Love youre work like always amazing..

[@chelle-cu4eb]

omg the black ones my fav

[@serricuna]

I love the black one so much

[@diannecopeland2501]

Star bucks and love all 3 can't choose xx

[@manfredfails7485]

I like the first one best but the pigments the quickest for salon. Sorry to hear about your Queen passing. I really like her.

[@PRINCESSNAILSBYDIANA]

I think the pigments is the best way 4 salon use. It's easier and quicker

[@e.gomezdalyrimple2515]

Always the best i just love all.

[@urf4vvbrun3tt3s]

Magnetic is my favourite but I think pigment would be quicker. I prefer my coffee machine for the perfect cuppa xxx

[@amandagreen7099]

I liked the Black cateye and I agree Starbucks is the best coffee especially when it's iced coffee

[@kristineolver3268]

Using the magnetic polish was a brilliant idea!!

[@Nanachanal]

You have fantastic design the nails 💅

[@8anniesmith7]

I love the gel polish one just love the way it blended but all 3 are amazing. And definitely Starbucks is the best coffee 😊

[@MrsPurplesarah]

I'm not a nail tech but I did this on all my nails last week using cream gel paints and acrylic to help with the ombre and it worked a treat, they look fab. I do prefer your pigment one the most, I think the ombre is lovely and soft.

[@estefaniabsa8908]

Oh, I wish we could share pictures in the comments! I want to see your nails! 😍

[@ursulatevis5146]

Love the magnetic polish and sorry I don't drink coffee, but I like their refreshers and juice drinks. They're the best. Love the other colors too!

[@camellasoupen7042]

Honestly I can watch your videos on repeat

[@Cxmilee95]

Glad you said Starbucks is the one I’m a shift leader at Starbucks!!!:):):)

[@shirleystander4200]

My favorite is the gel polish polish. Pink and yellow. You are amazingly talented ❤ kirsty

[@yankeetothecore]

I'm a fan of matte.. this is awesome

[@vandiwheeler-smith3987]

For salon nails I'd do pigments. My favorite is magic gels. But the best blend is gel polish each has its own advantages

[@zanelemthimkhulu456]

Pigment it's a yes from me 🙌🙌🙌

[@babyblue806]

I love the black and silver the most, but honestly you made them all look so freaking easy!!!

[@pcrosby7794]

I soooo want the black one for Halloween 🎃!! But my favorite is the pink/yellow gel polish. I love the matte finish

[@traceywilks9254]

Need 2 tell u kirsty ur nail look ab fab 😍 💅 ❤️ ur work always looks gr8!!! 🤩

[@FREAKOUT123ism]

thats pretty nails 👍❤❤❤💅🏼💅🏼

[@irenewessel6940]

Nice😍😍😍

[@yankeetothecore]

I like the gel polish one

[@MARoddy]

Dunkin is the best coffee. Starbucks is a distant second.

[@jacqulinehart2072]

Your nails in this video are beautiful

[@michelleyochem5579]

2,1,3. Second will be the best for a salon

[@cathywellman4859]

Awesome Tyfs

[@kellybrown1611]

Cats eye is beautiful ! Definitely Costa

[@lindsaymarie1984]

I like the 1st n the 3rd best, I can't pick between the 2 tbh lol. They all look awesome n your so talented kirsty, I love watching you x

[@KirstyMeakin]

Thanks so much 😊

[@annieredding9489]

I liked the gel polish best, it reminded me of rhubarb and custard too! I prefer Costa tbh, this may be be because the Costa stores where I live are more convenient though 🤷‍♀️ Could you do a sweets themed episode please? I’d like flumps and love hearts nails!

[@rhondaarmstrong1405]

I like the first one the best. But the pigment would look best shiny. The pigment would be faster.

[@MeDusa68]

Love the use of pigments. Not sure you needed the orange since pink and yellow make orange :D

[@veggietuneslover]

My students want me to teach them this tomorrow for nail art class. So this is GREAT timing 🤣🥰

[@KirstyMeakin]

Perfect! 🥰

[@sarabird3348]

I like the magic eye! It is even more "illusion " but pigment would likely be faster and coffee....Dutch bros, think it's only in the states though

[@susanconnolly9634]

Starbucks💪🏼💪🏼 not a nail tech… love them all , but I think gel worked better!!! X

[@michellebramble7678]

Beautiful 😍 I love this technique. I've had a play with it using black and red. I don't think it takes up to much time but I'm not a nail tech. I like them all but I like the gel polish one then pigments then cateye. 😍 Unfortunately I can't drink hot coffee or tea anymore it makes me sick.😭 I can drink cold coffee but very little it doesn't make as sick. Which I drink Frappuccino. Plus i dont like Starbucks or other. Thank you for sharing and God bless. 💖💖💖🤗

[@Sara-lr3dg]

These are fire 🔥🔥 I would love to see you working on your daughters nails again 🤩 maybe in the future?

[@AliciaWilliams]

I have been loving this trend but scared to try it

[@christinewilder73]

Those so beautiful . I do love the second one . It’s making me was some Sugar Peach gummy sweets . I really would like to see it with a sugared effect or some clear sparkles. 🥰

[@jacquelinedimattia774]

Really pretty! I've been trying this trend all Summer but I can't seem to get it right 😁 😁

[@liliannmaka3025]

I love all but design

[@emmapryor8537]

Gel was my favourite one and tbh i think for quickness it would be the pigment one but if i was going a salon then i would want the gel polish version as i think it looks more blended. Ive tried this myself and i thought it was easy. Simple but effective i want to do my next set with it on all of my nails but i know its going to take forever 😅 but think im gonna have to do it as its basically a walking advertisment on yourself😀 Also starbucks all the way xx

[@dianebrierwood4118]

Thank you for this video. For me, the gel ombre only because I'm used to making this effect with the gel. Knowing the mess I get into with chrome powder, I think I'll leave the pigments. Cats/magic eye, I think I will give that a go. I wonder what it would like with the black in matte 🤔

[@donnalewis6323]

Hiya Kirsty I think for salon the pigments would be quicker! Another fantastic video with loads of tips Thank you sweetheart 🥰🥰🥰
