WOW!! Dual Form HACK Using A Nail Tip - No Filing Needed Underneath!!

Hi Guys,
So in today's episode, I'm going to teach you how to do a Dual Form over a tip because I have this little idea and I want to try it out on camera. HOW EXCITING?!?
We've done a Dual Form application before but felt as though that it wasn't quite as neat as I'd like it to be so I got this BRILLIANT idea of using a tip to straighten the nail underneath the dual form.
Can I just say that this was a test? We had no idea whether this was actually going to work or not.
So guys, I applied a tip in the regular manner and prepped and primed my nail. I then applied the acrylic to the Dual Form like you have seen me do in the previous videos and pressed it down onto my nail. Now, this did work slightly differently from the previous times as the acrylic squished out of the sides a bit but as long as you make sure to get rid of the excess it's all hunky dory.
You will be happy to know that this technique doesn't require you to file and buff that much, we've eradicated that pesky filing underneath the nail for you guys that don't have an e-file and all you have to do now is just make sure those Side Walls are right.
Anyways, thanks for watching the video and be sure to subscribe to our channel so that you can watch more fantastic nail tutorials. Also remember to check out our 1MIL Subs Giveaway video to find out how you could be in for the chance of winning A FANTASTIC iPAD AIR 2!!!
Love,

[@legslikewhoa]

This is exactly what I need as a beginner.

[@kathbeth43]

cinnabunnyy same here

[@chapstikcrazy]

Yeeeeeeeeeeeessssss

[@rachelbrindley1786]

Ambika Williams keep trying - I was the same but found gluing on a normal tip then applying the polygel straight over then curing and shaping like in this hack was the way to go for sure! So much easier!

[@rachaelpwells]

Great idea.i have long nail beds and don't like my nails "claw like" I like them to look natural, do you have to have a high apex?

[@rachaelpwells]

And did you cure that nail?

[@Progressive_Alien]

Having a paper form and using the dual form over it also helps.

[@presentpalace5722]

Please explain in detail.

[@ericajsa2357]

Present Palace ....What Marie Preston means is , instead of using a tip (to prevent the blob underneath the nail) after using the dual form on top, you can use the nail form(which we use to sculpt nails with. Hope this helps you.

[@CasuallyObservant]

@@presentpalace5722 - here is a little more detail. You know those paper foil things they wrap around your finger and under your fingernail to provide support to build length on your nail with an acrylic or gel product? They are called Nail Forms. The idea is this: When your nails are clean and prepped, file your natural nail length down to a short length, just enough to be able to fit and grab a paper Nail Form under the curve of your natural fingernail. Then select a clear plastic curved Dual Form that matches correctly your own fingernail size and cuticle shape. If it is a little off, file or trim it to be exact. Put a dab of Polygel on the underside of the plastic clear Dual Form and spread it evenly with your brush. Add more as needed. When smoothed to the length and thickness you desire, gently press the clear Dual Form on to the top of your fingernail that already has the paper foil Nail Form on it. Clean away any excess that squeezes out. Cure under the lamp. After cured, remove the paper form from underneath the nail and turn your finger over and cure the underside separately. Remove top form. This should result in a perfectly smooth and properly shaped bottom nail and also a smooth top nail after curing. No under nail drilling required. This uses the best combination of tools to save time and give a superior result with minimal filing.

[@pearlaudelo1366]

I tried this and I'm new so I cant get the right slip/gel ratio and the paper just slips off

[@houseofschenck6230]

I wasn't able to use both together because my dual forms curve too much to make contact with the paper form. Instead, I discovered last night that I can use a paper form to create a layer of polygel. Then I cure it, remove the paper form, and use the dual form to add another thin layer on top. It worked great!

[@cathymilson4386]

Awesome video! You really make us feel like we can do it too! Would love to see a fill with dual forms! Thanks so much!

[@susannaph63]

Am 71 do my own nails but struggled with acrylic, this is a god send , thank you thank you and once again thank you .....

[@shannonherman7538]

I put the tip underneath my nail and the dual form on top and when cures it's nice and smooth underneath when I remove tip

[@houseofschenck6230]

You remove the tip after applying the Polygel and curing? How do you get the tip to stay put if you don't glue it to the nail before applying polygel?

[@vixythurgood1516]

I was on the edge of my seat.... Will it work...? 😕 Does she approve...? 😯 YES!!!! 🙌🏽 Best. Hack. Ever! Thank you. 🤗😇😘 x

[@laurahall280]

I said all that and forgot the most important thing thank you for doing tutorials on nails on KZbin so people like me can learn how to do 💅🏾 because sister is on a budget and right now and My kids and I are miss place right now, so this is like a stress Reliever for me. This way I don't get on my kids nerves until I get everything back together again

Robin Edwards she used acrylic if I saw it right Not poly gel

[@yahnayaya4687]

I’ve been doing this with poly gel for the last few months. I’m not a nail tech, I just like changing my nails alot so I do them myself. I love All your videos

[@tinamarinelli4325]

Thats a brilliant idea because i hate the fact that the normal way always looks too high and bulky which natural nails don't have and this looks like a natural nail

Glad you love it! 😍

[@krystlehulands9337]

I'll definitely be trying this over the weekend..

I love these nail duel forms designs plz make more experiment more like an 2 design eg half glitter half warm beige or french manicure design.

[@minniesun7173]

When I got my acrylic nails done at the salon they used the same technique! It is absolutely genius and easy!

[@shakingnails1982]

Very helpfull! I didn't know this already like other people, yesterday I used a dual form for the first time and used gum gel and was going crazy because I have no electic file.. So very happy with this video!

[@chrissieharrison3579]

Great minds think alike, I love was really struggling with the underside of the poly gel and was never happy with the results. I completed a full set last week and was over the moon with the result and saved a lot of time. Looking forward to lots more new ideas. You are my inspiration, thank you 🙏 x

I have seen it done over a form rather than a tip. That worked to. ☺️

[@mtchob]

nah, solves the problem of too much lumpy product under the nail... you could do this same hack with polygel/gel too im sure. :)

[@isnatchedyourweavehaha8584]

That's why u need to smooth under neath before it's fully cured of before u cure it under the lamp

[@1001anouk]

Great job Kirsty , thank you for sharing !!!

Is there any turtorial of you using dual forms with builder gel?

[@__allie_4660]

This video is actually amazing 👌🏼✨ I’ve been so intrigued by polygel but have been put off by the underneath part etc and this is such a great solution 🙌🏼💃🏻💅🏼

I'm about to do this but cut the tip into coffin style no need to file and create more work I love!

Buy the universal coffin nails on amazon boo

[@sandyj1561]

So good!

[@cricketcricket9749]

I use white tips with dual forms.....instant french nails!

[@erinantonia]

Do you use a light pink over the whole nail (tip included) and it works? it doesn't make the white look too pink?

[@SpottedTiger89]

Oooh, interesting! Then you just file off the excess?

[@jflo7013]

@@erinantonia I do the French tips with clear. Pink makes the tips pink and it's not cute. However, I will sometimes put a thin fill of pink to the bottom part of the nail, and then the clear with the nail form so it looks like pink and white. 😉

[@lauracrawfordmetz1630]

That was awesome 😎

[@themurrrr]

You should really try jojoba oil for your cuticles. Apparently it is the best oil for that.

[@marievalentine2706]

You are the greatest and I'm going to try it when I get my kit mailed to me love it

[@isnatchedyourweavehaha8584]

Castor oil is just as good

[@GemmaWeirs]

Shea butter - the raw, unrefined stuff. ;) It's packed with goodness and is a great natural moisturiser and conditioner. It's a great cuticle balm. You can add Vit E oil, and essential oils to it if you want.

[@Budyniara]

Goose fat Is the best

[@twerkinthecityhuh6340]

So the best cuticle oil is young nails rose oil it's amazing how strong it makes my nails n they put a rose petal in each container

This is dope need to try it

[@juliaferrier4520]

I am SO glad you're doing this because I had the same idea because of the underneath of the nail! Great minds! 👊

[@princessdianna82]

Julia Ferrier I’ve always used them over top of tips. I started using dual form about 5/6 years ago.

[@nixiadel]

Julia Ferrier been doing this with paper forms for a year. Use the paper form to get the base I want then finish with the duel form to get the perfect dome.

[@msdree123]

Can this be done with polygel instead of acrylic

[@doniellerochester1735]

Yes you can

[@primrosemartin1]

Well, I tried but now I'm not sure. I noticed that within a day of wear, the polygel lifted off the nail tip because the plastic, just like the dual form, didn't stick to it after curing. This caused moisture to be caught between the polygel and the plastic tip where it separated once hardened. Your manicure may lift from the nailbed prematurely from that moisture between the polygel and the nail, even if you properly applied your form to the base. Perhaps by applying an added gel coating to the top, sides, and underneath you can encapsulate the tip and prevent this separation?

[@Rdhddbtch]

I’m going to try it tonight. I would think as long as I prep the tip like I do my natural nail it will work. I use a base coat so that should keep the poly gel from popping off of the plastic tip right

[@rebeccaofsunnybrook]

Put your tip on, prep the nail and add polygel (without duel form) just like you would acrylic. 👍🏻 I do mine with that application. Edit: If you wipe the polygel after curing with alcohol it will get rid of the sticky surface left after and it won't gunk up your file.

[@sharonkour9721]

Omg thats so good. Can you do a video how to apply just a tip on the natural nail as no one ever explains and i struggle with tipping with the glue thank you

[@lindanichols7893]

I like to keep my nails fairly short, using a French tip extension. As soon as I receive the tips, I'm going to try this with clear polygel!

@@ylh01 - Yes, she has developed an allergy to the chemicals in her nail products. The monomers are especially dangerous. She also is suffering from dehydrated skin from acetone and filing.

I going to try this ty

[@rhondatotter6011]

This is a great hack. Would it work with regular butterfly forms to keep underside clean? Otherwise I don't see the point of putting on a fake nail then the overlay. I would just paint the nail tip and be dome with it. Would love to see what you think.

[@jenniferhogan7347]

I've been thinking about trying something similar to that. Kirsty(or Adam, whomever reads the comments), my idea is to use the paper forms as a base, like you did with the plastic nail tip. As I haven't actually done it yet, do you (or anyone) have any pointers, please? It's nice to see Kirsty get excited :)

[@jenniferhogan7347]

P.S. I have both the dual forms that were used in this video, and the YSNails dual forms.

[@mawson0112]

What will happen if you do a dual form over a paper form?

[@VeraPenedaGlitzyNails]

Kimberley Mawson works as well, you just need to make sure the form is well stuck so it won't budge and don't press too much ;)

[@EverythingByNesha]

There is a video out doing that. Can’t remember who but basically will get same results. No filing underneath

[@staind.raindrop]

I bet if you just hold the dual form in place from the top you could mold the acrylic underneath with a brush, too. Or set the finger upside down against the table for support so you don't dislodge the dual form while you're smoothing the underside.

[@89krx]

It works well

[@ertfgghhhh]

I think nail tips serves the same purpose as a form and its quicker

[@TheKittykitty1972]

Could you please show us what other nail shapes you can with dual tips?

[@FranTangles]

I did this 10 years ago, it is as old as that.. look it up on youtube, they are also called poppits. You can make designs in the form and then apply a bit of clear on the nailbed area in the dual form and put it on the nail. So its not the future but the past ;) xxx

[@eleanorm2855]

lmao this is what I was thinking too! I was like " girl... why is this now surfacing again like it's some new shit"

[@rachelmm05]

martfran question does this process last as compared to regular acrylic application?

[@LuvLykeHunii]

I think in one of the videos she mentioned that it's not new, she's done it before in her career but it's been so requested lately that she's doing it now and I'm happy for it, I'd love if more nail techs in my area used this technique. I'd probably get my nails done more if they did.

[@brandikay24]

She stated in the first video that they came out years ago

[@AnonymousWebGirl]

I love that dual forms are making a comeback. I love the videos that you are referring to, it's like magic watching them be reverse-created and then applied with clear acrylic!

[@ElishaBrumley]

I’m buying forms now!

[@nailslast3]

I have also used these for about 10 years, I like them on me if I am in a hurry but I prefer regular acrylic on my clients. And yes I prefer the tips to just using acrylic.

[@jolewis06]

Pam Smith oh yeah on your your own nails is genius! I hate doing my own!

[@christinaleister1387]

They are also good for nail techs (like myself) who have nerve issues and struggle with doing their own nails without pain; especially when trying to do the dominant hand. Or for clients that can't sit for long periods of time (2-3 hours, etc), or for mobile techs who have to travel light, etc. I feel, imo, that this is an ingenious invention.

[@miri8851]

i wonder if they could special make some dual forms that are designed to work with tips ??

[@Langdons_Training]

I used them this way when CND brought them out years ago, nothing new. Still prefer normal acrylic application.

[@staind.raindrop]

Yeah, I like custom apexes better. I think these nails look even more fake than fake nails are supposed to look. At least I have the artistry and craftsmanship to appreciate on the custom ones.

[@BattyTrish]

I've been using dual forms on my long nails (using a thick builder gel) my nails are long so I guess it's kinda the same as using tips. Can't see why it would not work and mine seem great on my long natural nails. I'd love to try with acrylic as I'm poor at applying acrylic

So excited! Waiting for dual forms to arrive. 😃

[@svincent9514]

Halley Reading do they last as long as a standard acrylic nail application?

[@shruffles35]

That was AWESOME!!! I knew it would work, because the forms are made out of a different material that acrylic will not stick to, whereas the tips are meant to adhere. Thank you for doing this vid!

Slightly different method with gels since you need to do 2-3 layers for strength or the nail will be too thin, but absolutely :)

I tried dual forms with gelish that was too thin today I’m trying with ibd it’s a stiffer gel hopefully it’ll work. My fiancé hates the smell of the acrylics so I’ve gone to gel for now.

I always put on a paper form first amd them do my dual form on top. Perfect top and bottom without filing !!

Why you are using a glove?

Eileen two videos ago she explained.

[@amberalves7682]

I tried this as a beginner and it saved sooo much time, filings, mess and helped me shape the poly gel better as I used the tip as a guide. ❤️

First

Thanks for the video it helps me to learn more techniques...

[@christinaprice3317]

The bad thing about these are now everyone is going to think they can do nails. They'll order from China and do them at home. then real nail techs loose money.

[@lovemyson480]

Christina Price you can thank chop shops for that one. If they weren't ripping off acrylics with nail tips, over filing the nail plate with a coarse bit, and using cheap mma products. Its a fad though because these came out over 10 years ago and for some reason resurfaced as the great new late 2017 trend along with polygel and dip powders. Lol i agree with what you're saying though...sucks for real great nail techs.

This technique is there since many years now, and a good salon will stay. Because it’s of the wellness and the good feeling of not doing itself!

[@veervdh]

there are very few people that can manage doing their own nails to that level. And not everyone has time to mess around with acrylics for hours for mediocre results. Quality work will always be appreciated. If i was allowed to wear long nails to work i’d probably have someone do them. unfortunately i’m limited to only wearing nail polish on my two days off, on wednesdays my nails have to be clean and short again, so no stilettos for me😫

[@Reading-inkyfun]

Thankfully they are VERY different than getting a set done by a technician. You want a nice lasting set, go to a professional nail tech. I use them to overlay on my natural nails so they don’t rip ( always happens right about half way down my nail plate)

[@ashee_chwaaannn]

Shoot! When they stop charging me 5 bucks to fix a nail THEY messed up on, I'll start to worry... until then DUAL FORMS! lol

[@lydiafagain1029]

This would be really good to do on your non dominant hand as well

[@TheJay6385]

Thank you!! Tried this and WOW!! I have been struggling...well not no more.

[@Laura-dt9cf]

Could you do a tutorial with the duel forms using the gel. I'm curious on when you would have to pinch it with the gel.

[@thyisha.t1699]

Can you cure the dual form on top of the nail or do you just wait till it gets a little warm like you said then pop off the dual warm after it done setting

[@eloise2668]

Also wondering maybe you do cure I've seen others cure it... So not sure... 😅

[@chantal3148]

Not sure if you still need to know , but if you’re using acrylic it doesn’t need curing however polygel(acrygel) or regular gel will need curing in a lamp 😊

[@loristrout4741]

hi Kirsty , I have been watching for a long time. I need to tell you something, you need to get some Amlactin. This stuff saved my skin, it will heal your sore fingers. I had the same problem. My fingers would get so sore and crack until they bled. I would use a fingernail file to smooth out rough places because they would catch on stuff and rip the skin. Try it please your pour hands need help.

[@s.r6172]

2021.... Dual forms prices rise😂
