I don't think I'll ever be entering any competitions as I'm not even a certified tech (just a diy enthusiast) but i *love* these kinds of videos from you. You're so knowledgeable about all the many tiny specific details that go into sculpting and just anything to do with nails. I could listen to you talk about this stuff all day lol. It's a free Masterclass! 💅🏻 ❤
The other day I caught one of your old videos where you were teaching a chosen student. It was also so helpful when she did her nail and you pointed out the mistakes. Love it
After watching you teach this tutorial my adorable Kirsty, I arrived at this conclusion. You are the greatest nail tech supporter! This tutorial is sooo dence with valuable info and you taught it to all of us for free! I feel that you really care for the industry and the people who are in it. I'll always be greatfull to you and hope one day to meet you up close!
I’m in the middle of doing my first nail competition online only with Nailympia London this year. One day I might try a timed competition but for now I’ll stick with the untimed ones. Thank you for this video it does help out a lot.
Excellent video. Thank you! ❤ Could you please do a video sometime to help with not so perfect nail beds and nails that grow up and down? Using both tips and or forms?
As someone with 10 mm nail beds, this made me cringe. I knew my nail beds were short!! Thanks for this vid. I loved it! An in-depth step by step closeup lesson on the classic French nail. Brilliant!
So many good tips just for a refresh on the technical skills such as the measurements. This is useful even for salon sets and techs. Good foundational skills to master.
I’m learning so much from you I can’t thank you enough you’re so crazy talented I’ll never be as talented not even close but I ado get inspiration from your work!! 😁❤️❤️❤️
Cracking video! If I ever produce a nail even remotely as gorgeous as this I will run up and down our town naked! (They are safe). Amazing bit of knowledge. Thanks for sharing.
Hiya!!! I’m thinking of doing a comp but not confident enough yet but can I ask…. Are you able to do all of your prep etc before the comp time or it is part of the time allocation? X x
Completely off the nail topic, but hearing you say "me duck" makes me miss my best friend & his family lol. I'm in Canada & he's in England and we haven't seen each other since 2016 cuz of life then pandemic ❤
Thank you for this. I’m looking to get into some competitions once I figure out how to do that. Also if you have any tips on getting into doing nails for ads or movies, fashion shows etc. I would love some advice.
A Greta video. in that competitions that I start we can't use electric files and no top gels. all polished by hand no scratches at all. in my salon I totally stop doing French after this but when I see your video my fingers start tickling. I win 2 European titles but stop competetitions cause I never find a model that I love to work with.
@@KirstyMeakin i think not that I will compete again. Eventually on Pmu competition but nails I don’t think. Just about the training and model situation
I love this video thank you so much! I do want to say the music was super loud and a little distracting especially because this was a technical video and I was really trying to concentrate on what you were saying 😭
I wonder who made those rules one day to open those competitions. It's beautiful but I can imagine so many talented artists lose their happiness in creating nails when it comes to competitions.
Do offer nail courses of your products in South Africa 🇿🇦 And if so, what are the costs involved please as our money value is weak against yours currently. Michélle Burger
I would think it's to be specific about the color. Like, a French can be in endless color combos between the nail bed and tip color but if you say "pink & white" then it's very specific. Idk for sure, that's just a guess lol

I don’t even do nails but it’s so enjoyable to listen to someone talk about something they are interested in and excel at.

god this was fascinating. seeing someone do something that appears simple and just striving for perfection in every aspect of it, chef's kiss

Really educationel. And yes you can get mini mandrel and bands, Urban nails have them!
Love from, not a nailtec 😊
Hi ya duck ❤❤❤
Its perfect
The resolution is amazing. What cameras are you using?
Great learning video. ❤❤❤❤
Thank you 🤗
Kirsti you must try Zulay nails products! Need the queens review.
A Greta video. in that competitions that I start we can't use electric files and no top gels. all polished by hand no scratches at all.
in my salon I totally stop doing French after this but when I see your video my fingers start tickling.
I win 2 European titles but stop competetitions cause I never find a model that I love to work with.
Congrats on your titles! ❤
Most competitions allow E-files . I hope u will start to compete again and well done on your wins 🙌🏻

@@Nails_By_Kimberlee thank you

Is there a book available from your brand showing tips and tricks for competitions? Thanks Michélle Burger
No but that’s a cool idea
In the competitions does it have to be acrylic or can it be all the other stuff that's out there now? Just curious
She said gel or acrygel were acceptable to use. No full cover tips tho.
Greetings from Greece❤️❤️
I like the length of my nail beds just not the width. My thumbs r roughly 15mm n they're almost 21mm long
Good afternoon, can you give me information about the contest?
Kirsty tell me how come you never wear a mask when you do your filing? I see a lot of nail techs wearing one, but I never do. Should I?
Because I’m filming and giving instructions I don’t wear a mask. Do you have a dust extractor?
Not all products are created equal. Is there a specific brand of products that is used in competition?
I wonder who made those rules one day to open those competitions. It's beautiful but I can imagine so many talented artists lose their happiness in creating nails when it comes to competitions.
What are the prizes like in this kind of nail competition?
Medals and trophies are won at these competitions.
❤❤❤
bravo super magnifique kristy bisous de la France bisous Martine 👍👍👏👏💅💅😘🥰🇨🇵🇨🇵💐🌹
Hi Kristy do nice nails
no e-filing?? I quit 😅 my hands hurt just thinking about buffing to a shine the old-fashioned way
Hiya Gorgeous 4:03

If you email nails@kirstymeakin.com with you question we can send you the information
Why do they call it pink and white instead of just French?
I would think it's to be specific about the color. Like, a French can be in endless color combos between the nail bed and tip color but if you say "pink & white" then it's very specific. Idk for sure, that's just a guess lol
@@Nails_By_Kimberleeyour correct 👍🏼
@@KirstyMeakin hey, I was actually right! 😄😄
I cut my nails shorter
