Tie Dye Design on my Non-Dominant Hand Inspired by My Merch!

Hello Ladies and Gentlemen and welcome to the KIRSTY MEAKIN SHOOOOOOOW!!!
I am going to do a design on myself inspired by the tie dye on my merch.
I’m going to start by wiping the nails and then pop my gel paints into the Nailchemy palette to use. I’m also going to use a NavyTools sponge to dab a tiny amount of the paints onto the nail randomly until the whole nail is covered. I’m going to top coat with the No Wipe Top Coat because inks work best on a smooth surface.
I”m going to use the inks and a 3D brush to pull the colour through the design in wavy lines. It goes on clear but dries pigmented. You can use Isopropanol Alcohol to clean up the ink. I want to add some white so I’ll dilute the white paint with IPA and add that in the same way as the inks. I’ll top coat again.
I’ll use the Crystal Gem Glue from Nailchemy and stones from Nailed by Lucie and The Bling Box. Of course I finish with Indigo Shea Elixar cuticle oil.

Thank you for not photoshopping your photos into oblivion on your merch site!! It’s awesome that you showed how everything looks on an actual person with actual shapes and skin and style!

[@Laysa43607]

Wow you are fantastic ....I love Kirsty 's demostrations

[@melissarine9021]

[@paulakoncki4029]

It has been so many years now that I was watching Kirsty at work and Not one dull moment! The Butterfly she made will always stick into my mind!! Love your clothing designs to Kirsty! Hugs from South Africa 💝💅🥰

[@CD-te8lo]

Hey Adam, the background music is a bit too loud where it is hard or impossible to hear what Kirsty is saying... thanks!

[@CryTides]

Yeah the audio seemed inconsistent throughout the video.

[@LymaraB]

Just about to say the same.

[@pamluxford5854]

Yeah, was almost like Kirtsy’s mic was fading in and out.

[@lynetteheystek3695]

Adam. Can you please zoom in more on the nails so we can see better. 🙏🏻. More closer look on the nail will be great

[@ginahires7378]

beautiful stunning 💜💜💜💜

[@jaids_place]

Absolute gorgeousness 💜😍

[@sharongrigg5336]

So glad others pointed out the sound being not right, thought I was going deaf.. absolutely love your new channel n the nails were beautiful as always ❤️

[@agnesumoffia1655]

Love you Kirsty, love your quirky nature. I always watch your videos. Agnes from Abuja, Nigeria.

[@iluvmybulldogs]

Luv the ending look ♥️♥️♥️

[@pamelabarber9538]

Love them 🥰 they are definitely giving off a festival vibe xx

[@MasterSwagg10]

Dope background music. Nice and peaceful but still has a bop to it.

[@jennychevalier1588]

I miss my visits to Stoke love the people there your all so friendly and welcoming.

[@lovelynailsbystephanie]

Love all of your designs!!!

[@theresaroelse6151]

Love the nails. They are gorgeous. My favourite colours : black and purple 👏👏🥰

[@lydiajohnson3592]

I could probably do the blotchy part with my non-dominant hand, but I don't know about all that with the brush. 😄 That iridescent bling is really pretty.

[@cherrysclaws]

Gorgeous design ❤ Great tutorial 💅

[@athenale1493]

Lovely beautiful nails x

[@bevbatsford1053]

Love it Awesome colours' and Fab effect and design !!!

[@lindarodgers2476]

Kirsty you never ever disappoint, always stunning works of art , and I do hope your going to come out with products that I can use without getting contact dermatitis from it's been very hard not been able to work or do my own nails .

[@cherylstevens5131]

Hi kirsty, put the sponge on the sticky side of a nail form, that works great to get anything off it. I love these Kirsty, they are gorgeous as always ❣️❣️

[@heathermacfadgen6369]

Love you Kirsty 🌺💕 Everything you touch turns into 💯🔥💅💋

[@cherelsiimaubi2343]

And we're at 50k now🙌

[@colleenasteevesbos6975]

So pretty and so easy. Thanks Kirsty.

[@shonamcbride6200]

Absolutely stunning set!! Well done!! Whilst watching you do your other fingers I couldn’t help but think they would look really cool as well with some form of unicorn chrome over the top! Would kind of make them look like ‘oyster’ nails!! But still absolutely loved what you created! 💕

[@cynthiahazebroek4281]

The ink is so fun to work with. I ordered it yesterday with my mom. So we both have some colors to try out. I’m super excited for this to try out.

[@autumn7ful]

Love seeing you with the long nails again and they turned out so so pretty

[@bbbblauterer]

These are beauties!! I want to try them matt!

[@wendybrayshaw3589]

Loving the nails

[@cat9lives999]

Your pink gloves are cute!

[@jessicaallen4663]

This is by far the best design I've seen you place on yourself!

[@Nails_By_Kimberlee]

Kirsty, will we be getting a Pride set this month? You always do the best 🏳️‍🌈 nails!

[@sharnaNailartist]

Beautiful as always ❤

Nice nails💅❤️ Will Adam please zoom in at The work, so all details Can see💅💅🙏🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@rhondaarmstrong1405]

Beautiful nails as always!

[@CJ-my4rv]

Girl you’re so beautiful !

[@MadMaxxx360]

Hi Great set of nails, I love them but I would love it if we could have a much closer view of the nail that Kirsty is working on. When Kirsty was adding the bling I couldn't see any detail. I am a bit old now but always found the Naio channel video's much closer and easier to see. This is definitely not a complaint but it would be great for us old biddies with poor eyesight. I also found Kirsty's voice too low but I did read that the batteries were low so hopefully it will be better in the next video. 👍🌟💗💙☺️

[@karenorsi4109]

Gorgeous as ever xx

[@jetson10100]

Perfection!

[@murdermysterieswithmegan141]

Beautiful! I wish i could do nails like this!

[@rosacortes4968]

I like it they are nice.

[@hylidaecustom]

You realize you’ve helped sell out the Bling Box? Sigh, would’ve liked to get that. Still struggling with the audio? I’ve had to turn up the volume quite a bit, makes the adverts so loud 🤪 I’m afraid I’ll wake the neighborhood 🤣

[@maratatsey9951]

Love the nails, background music, everything was great on this video. I just turn on the captions, they are funny to read sometimes because they do not always get it right haha.

[@jacquelinedimattia774]

Loooove them 💜

[@Nailslamode]

You did an amazing job

[@elainewray498]

So funny, the sound was off when I began watching and the subtitles said "Hello and welcome to the custom vegan show " 😂😂😂 love watching guys ❤

[@pamelabarber9538]

Lol 😂 xx

[@toriaden833]

Love your hair.

[@femketjeNL]

It looks so cool :D

[@goldiestacy2650]

I was worried we wasn't getting a video today 😥 yall have made my day 100% better now 🥰

[@jeannette1782]

Beautiful

[@JilliesNails]

Those are neat pigments! You’re so right about getting black on the skin...black ANd red are the worst!

[@Nails_By_Kimberlee]

And white too sometimes.

[@lesonglesdenathalie.f4909]

Super comme toujours

[@margor9966]

Having a real hard time hearing Kristy since u started the this new channel, background music over powering at time seems not to be needed makes it even harder to hear Kristy. Thanks

[@KirstyMeakin]

Sorry about that,

[@marcus09di]

Hey that’s clever to do with splotchy I am thinking if you can use wax dental floss on the sponge what you’re using it . Just an experiment. See what happens , what do you honk dear Kirsty,? Hoping you will show in here . Wish you well stay warm.

[@kathytarman2302]

A lot of work but it is beautiful. Thank you for sharing this.

[@vaikesillatalu6811]

Hey Kirsty... roll your sponge onto the back of a nail form, it works a treat to clean off any fluff and fairies. Even cat hairs are no match to the sticky 🤣 Love that you’re back and doing your own thing with Adam and your crew! Just one ask though.... could we have a bit more voice and tad less background music. Thanks folks 💜🦄

[@CherryBerry48]

i love them and i wish i could see the other hand as well, i saw some rainbows in there!!

[@santiedewaalmalan8531]

Beautiful 👌👌👌👌👌💅💅💅💅💅💅💅💅🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹

[@meridithderaps3362]

Love the nails!!! You always come up with new amazing ideas!!! Wish you lived in the states cuz I would love to learn from you!!

[@davidsueellen8718]

Great 💅 design for the non dominant hand. Thanks K & A 😻 Sue Ellen from WV 🇺🇸

[@lesonglesdenathalie.f4909]

J’adore

[@wolfeesnails6626]

As always amazing kirsty the Queen of nails, and Adam dose an amazing job at putting this video together ❤, I would love to know how you do it 😀, xx

[@yaniracardona8752]

Hey Kirsty You the hair do looks good on you definitly you should bring your hair up it suits you.

[@tamarabarnum911]

That's nice beautiful

[@andreathompson8292]

You do a great job but the background music is distracting can’t hear what you are saying

[@Beckyib.]

Here for this 😜

[@CrispyCristie]

Splodgy, definitely a technical term

[@patriciapacheco9677]

Yes we like it

[@FREAKOUT123ism]

nice nails 💖💖

[@sadiepeterson1756]

Subs are rising! 💗

[@shannonbrand8384]

Love me some tie die 😍

[@326lindsey]

If you would have matted the nails instead of using glossy top coat the nails would have been more vivid and all around more defined. At least in my experience that’s what I’ve found. That being said I love your talent and these colors are amazing!!

[@DruidessOfMidian]

Crikey, I thought I was going deaf, lol! 😂 The vocal audio keeps drifting in and out, usually I can hear Kirsty just fine, though today I'm struggling to hear a single thing she's saying, all I can hear is mumbling and our Kirsty doesn't mumble 😅. I'm having to ramp the volume right up, though that makes the music too loud, so still can't hear her 😅 It's a shame cos the marbling designs are gorgeous, but I canne make out any of the chat, and only some of the instructions here n there, so I feel like I'm missing a lot of what's happening. Anyhoo, I'm loving this set, it's definitely something I'll try doing, it looks sooo damn awesome, especially so being my favourite colour! 🤩

[@lollonortje8071]

Thanks... from Lollo in SA

[@CryTides]

Would love to see some colab videos with other yt nail techs!

[@nicoled3003]

♥️♥️♥️♥️

[@arielspangenberg9252]

You might use one of your forms to get rid of any fluff or hair or whatever gets picked up by the sponge. You know? Just use the sticky side to pull off any stuff thats on there. Just a thought. An idea for ya to have a little play, see if it works.

[@blatantbliss1716]

Sound still needs work, maybe different position for lapel mic or boom mic might be better.

[@sparklenailsbyela3209]

Absolutely gorgeous as always Lovely ... great Work as always! Are this Nails sculpted or have u used Tips? Oh yeah, please which Hair Color u have used ... i have Silvergrey too, but my Hair is not so much Silvergrey as urs! Have a beautiful new Week and greetings from Vienna 💕💕💕

[@nickiealtieri-enochs1914]

Slotchy 😁

[@arturopita8873]

She is so cool. I wanna be friends with her so bad 🥴

[@KathyMcDowell1]

Thanks

[@echogray3372]

Question would you try the lazy girl method. I've been doing my own nails with acrylic for over 20 years. And I found this method very challenging but satisfying. Just wondering if you would do a video doing this?

[@michellecrippen2966]

Use a nail form (sticky side) Orr cellophane tape to remove fuzzies from sponges. Also, I’ve always heard inks work best on matte. Didn’t know you could use them on shiny top coat.

[@martineleygue2316]

bravo super magnifiques gros bisous Martine 👍👍👍👏👏👏💅💅💅😙❤👄🥀⚘🌷🇫🇷🇫🇷

[@bodilnielsen1822]

hi kirsty I have some acrylic powder and would like to use it but have no liquid so my question is “can you make your own homemade acrylic liquid? Ps. Love your videos love you both

[@orangge386]

OMG, you look like you're in your 20s on merch photos!

[@keilanimedvec5248]

Hey, isopropyl alcohol and isopropanol are the same thing!

[@lapinkykinky3758]

You’re the best I like u

[@audreeabbott595]

We need volume desperately!

[@robinharding9919]

Is the merch sold out? The link doesn’t work

[@mycrazy057]

Gorgeous design. I haven't mentioned it before but your voice gets whisper quiet at times and then super loud so it's very difficult to keep up with the conversation even though it is mostly with yourself! 😁 I don't think it's the music. Love your videos!

[@ladyessexlioness]

Kirsty absolutely stunning Adam a true trooper but Kirsty mic seems quite low in this video usually can still here Kirsty even with music but even with out talking was so low turned up volume and when adds come in almost blow ere drum out 😂 headphones in ha ha still use are as always pleasure 🔥🔥🔥💅🏻💅🏻💅🏻🥰🥰🥰❤️❤️❤️

[@ryanjackson289]

Hi Ryan's mam Sam here.... I'm going to have to agree with other comments the sound is really low like Kirsty is in a bubble and the background music is louder than her and you just carnt hear you 😬😬 love the nails love everything you do 💓💖💓 xx

[@SadieRayy88]

I’m just curious why you started your own channel, are you no longer using naio nails?

[@pamelabarber9538]

Kirsty and Adam have left naio as they wanted to create the content that they wanted too 👍🏻 they also wanted to showcase other companies products and give their honest opinion on them 😊😘
