Years ago I cut the pad of my thumb with a brand new knife while cutting onions and totally hit a vein that sprayed blood up the cabinet and onto to the ceiling. I’ve never seen so much blood in my life! Not even kidding... I needed 11 stitches!!!! She is SO lucky she had that acrylic to save her from the same fate LOL
Love the look. I have been practicing with poly gels and not satisfied. I continue to work with it, in the hopes that I get comfortable and do flawless nails like you.
I swear I learn so much watching you. And it’s your demonstration of the simplest and minute processes- that make me better. I completed on meself my FIRST ‘Baby Boomer Fade’. While the end result is very good, watching you-I know I made myself work much, MUCH harder in: •Using too much liquid. •’Afraid’ of product. •Over thinking. •’Melting my white’ a little too far up into nail bed area. Less liquid. Pat...Pat...Pull...Pat..Pat-feather stroke! 👍🏽 Your awesome lady. Lesson learned.
Tempting Fate is such a pretty colour. Kirsty makes it look so easy to work with acrygel and it's actually quite tricky to get it so smooth. I really struggle with it and have to do a lot of filing.
What brands have you used? I've found that there are some that do a nice job of self leveling just a bit if you give it a minute or so before sticking it in the lamp. You'll probably have to clean up around the cuticle & sidewalls again, but it definitely makes for a smoother looking nail & less filing!
So beautiful! I just ordered for the 1st time and I'm so excited to get the order. You are amazing on timing. I ordered at 10 am (U.S time) and it shipped by 10:30!!
My god I hate it when my clients want this look! I turn in to such a perfectionist and I’ll be sat forever just patting and fading patting and fading!😂
Can you please do a video on your products. So what product is used for what 🙏🏼 there are soooo many different products it’s getting confusing. I know what I want to do but not sure what to use. I do love how you explain what you are using and why. I want to do patterns but do I use 3D gel I know normal gel levels it’s self out so what is used to stay a a solid round dot until you cure? What do you paint nails with nail paint, gel, what gel. What works best to do ombré, nail polish, acrylic paint, gel polish I mean it’s really flipping confusing Anyway love your work 👍🏼
THANK YOU ADAM! Leaving in the commentary between Kirsty and Jay during editing was fricken brilliant I died laughing watching this video! Love your guys' channel!
When working with the Acrygel over the base coat does the use of the gel wipeoff solution make the base coat loose its integrity? Like if the wipeoff solution takes off the sticky layer of the base coat as I’m applying the acrygel?? I’ve got both your base n some acrygel and want to make sure it’ll stay on properly n not pop off. 😬
Thank you so much. I really needed this video. I have been struggling with ombre. I do gel only bc i cant take the smell of acrylic anymore and i couldnt master the gel blend at all. But ive been working with polygel too abd u really simplified it for me. Thank u!
I did that EXACT same thing on the same finger, I think I needed a stitch as well. It turned out positively though. I had always hated the shape of that nail but after it healed i had a nail with the shape I wanted;) Tons of blood and pain but hey, I got a barely noticeable change in my nail shape and I'm super happy about it, haha.:)
Quick question I’m new to the gel nail game I just got my 1st acrygel/polygel kit & due to the darkness in my room as well as my aging eyes I am looking at a new desk lamp - mostly because I’m a klutz and knocked my old lamp off killing it. Anyway all the desk lamps are led lamps now especially all the ones with magnification so is that ok to use if I’m going to do gel polish and polygel nails or will it cure the nail? I have all these new gel polishes and blooming gel & lace gel I just need to know if it is safe to get one and if so how many watts should I stick with? Please don’t be rude fellow TH-camrs. It may sound like a stupid question but I saw some girls using led flashlights to cure their gel & and I thought “oh better check before I order! “
When she was pinching the nail tip I was like 🥺😲🙃 always teaching me something 😂😂❤️ please can someone tell me the difference between acrygel, polygel, builder gel’s? Please and thanks ❤️❤️❤️ or Kirsty my gracious TH-cam teacher please explain lol
Hello in wondering if you could use regular stickers (no water transfer of nail stickers) to dona design? Ones you can buy in any kind of store? X Stefanie
Kirsty when will you get ur acrylic brushes in? I want to get one so bad. I just hope by the time u get them in I have money in my account. Love your videos so much.
Can we see a video of you doing your nails on your dominant hand? So like I'm right handed and painting polish with my left hand requires a lot of extra effort, I imagine doing your own acrylic on the opposite hand is even worse?
Blueberry Fuzz she has one. She damaged her nail in a soccer game (UK football) and she does it with her left hand and bitches about it and reminds us about 8 time that it is her nondonimant hand and she hates doing it. Lol
i was wondering if when you blend up the white up the nail dont you take off the sticky layer of the base gel with your brush?? if that hapens does the gel still sticks to the nail??
My grandma did something similar, she was wearing an overlay, she chopped down on her nail, broke the growth of the natural nail but not the overlay. She spent the better part of an hour buffing the over lay down.
This may be a bit of a stupid question, but if I'm doing my own nails with a tip and I leave the length quite long, how would I best support the tip when filing my own hand because I find that quite hard. Especially when filing a finished nail. (Also, may be worth to mention that I self-taught myself how to do nail extensions) Love your videos
1. Push the cuticles back and clean the nail. 2. Dehydrator. 3. Primer (not necessarily, only if you need an extra adhesion) 4. Base coat 5. AcryGel. 💅💞
Where can we buy the large files with a flat and curved edge side? Made a recent naio order but couldn't find kirsty's files only normal straight or boomerang ones thanks
I believe its gel residue wipe off remover (i've noticed thats what she uses from other videos). Some people use 70% isopropyl alcohol. It acts as a monomer to mold but its not a true monomer
Hi Kirsty, Quick question, would you say Acrygel is as strong and as useable as Acrylic? Can you create flowers and other shapes with it? I can't use acrylic as the smell of the monomers give me migraines.
IT IS AS STRONG AS ACRYLIC AND EASIER TO USE BUT I HAVEN'T REALLY DONE ANY 3D WORK WITH IT YET. BUT OUR 3D SCULPTURE GEL IS PERFECT FOR THAT. AND NO SMELL.
what i *HATE* about acrylic is that when i do my french tips sometimes it has a harsh line, so i have to keep going over and further with my nail and it ends up looking really good, but then so thick.
For future reference, you must tuck your fingers down and curl it slightly under your knuckles when you're chopping. The upper part of the knife, not the blade, will be against the knuckles and prevent you from slipping onto your fingers. Think of a little cat's paw. Tuck your fingers and always hold the handle firmly and with all the fingers. None of that finger at the top of the blade nonsense. If you have to work that hard for leverage then it's time to sharpen those knives. A dull knife is a dangerous one.
As a Gen Xer, I have to say I *hate* that name. I prefer the style to be called a French fade. Another name for it that I _despise_ with the heat of a thousand suns is "American manicure." That name makes it sound like it comes from the mouth of a total IDIOT, probably spoken with a southern drawl by some fool who voted for Trump, "Gimme one of them-there, 'Murcan manuh-curs." However, I can tell you why some people call it a "baby boomer." It's because those "women of a certain age" are fond of the look because it looks conservative, but it's a little different than a classic French smile line manicure.
calichef1962 what a gross played out generalization of trump “Murcia” Americans, guys like you are the cliche hun and that’s coming from a Brooklyn born and raised gen X’er who currently lives in N.J.! Yawn to people like you who think you’re better than them
@@calichef1962 wow. This is just so incredibly rude. You're comment is highly offensive to many well educated southerners who voted for Trump and come with the accent of their region. You make me sick.

I've bought the Acrygel and it's brilliant to use and I've found its as strong as acrylic. Xxx thanks guys
Rebecca Tolley do u need to use a primer ? I’m really thinking of getting some off this instead of using acrylic 👌🏼👌🏼

I like it. It looks like the makings of a candy corn nail demo. A big ole bejeweled nail!
My god I hate it when my clients want this look! I turn in to such a perfectionist and I’ll be sat forever just patting and fading patting and fading!😂
That nail is perfection 👌
Loving gel nails. May never go back to regular acrylic.
Beautiful ombre!
I love the look!! How would you do the fill-in two weeks down the road? I’m thinking that you don’t grind out the smile line... but what do you do???
Why haven't I seen this already, love how you bend the nail to shape it

Her nail looks like candy corn. 👍🏼👍🏼
I thought the same thing!
Could you use the different colors of acrygel so we know how it looks? Love you, you inspire me
Question was wondering which way do u like to do nails is it this way in this video or is it our normal way with acrylic???
I did that EXACT same thing on the same finger, I think I needed a stitch as well. It turned out positively though. I had always hated the shape of that nail but after it healed i had a nail with the shape I wanted;) Tons of blood and pain but hey, I got a barely noticeable change in my nail shape and I'm super happy about it, haha.:)

Polygel uses the addition of powder for strength. Acrygel is just the gel itself
Acrygel and polygel are the same. Polygel is the brand name for gelish the basic name for these products is hybrid gel
Hello in wondering if you could use regular stickers (no water transfer of nail stickers) to dona design? Ones you can buy in any kind of store? X Stefanie
Can you do a video with Acrygel and dual forms please?
Beautiful as always....♥️
Very pretty and dainty.
I have the AcryGel Professional Natural Pink but its so sticky. Got any suggestions. I use cleanse because using the alcohol makes it worse. Thanks!
Great video I’m trying this 👍🏻 definitely looking at your polygels x
Kirsty when will you get ur acrylic brushes in? I want to get one so bad. I just hope by the time u get them in I have money in my account. Love your videos so much.
I love the French ombré 🦃🦃🦃
Hi could you please tell me where i can buy the nail tips you use in this video..thanks karen.

How about dual forms how to do the faded french using them?!
Thats what she did
Curious as to why base coat and not dehydrator/primer?
cindilu2 me too !
Can you place acrygel over regular acrylic?
Hey Naio Nail, How to you prep the nail for acrygel applications. Just the top coat or do you use a primer or dehydrator? Thanks
1. Push the cuticles back and clean the nail. 2. Dehydrator. 3. Primer (not necessarily, only if you need an extra adhesion) 4. Base coat 5. AcryGel. 💅💞
@@NaioNailsOfficial
Hi, what do you clean the nails with? X
Where can we buy the large files with a flat and curved edge side? Made a recent naio order but couldn't find kirsty's files only normal straight or boomerang ones thanks
Estou apaixonada por vc que escelente proficional adoro suas unhas e a melhor 😘😍
Why the base coat?? I couldn't hear if you explained.
Thank you ♡
Because that's what the Acrygel is made to stick to.
JodiLea - gels need a base to stick to! Acrygel won’t adhere to the natural nail plate
Quá đẹp! Tôi rất ngưỡng mộ bạn!😍
Very pretty!! :)
I am def getting these for my birthday 😊😊
Too cute!!
Definitely gonna be giving this a go today
I really need to try out some of that acrygel! 😁
That's beautiful💅
I liked ❤
Please tell what tips your using x
For some reason my Just White won't cure but the pink and clear does.... I use the urban graffiti......plz help!
Muuuuuuuuaaaaaaaaahahahahaha I had such a „lachkrampf“ because of the perfekt tip blend situation 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Hi😊perfect.j just love your video.i would like to ask why are you putting base?acrygel is 3phase gel?
Beautiful
Beautiful 😍
Maravilhosa!! 😍😍😍👏👏👏👏👏
Which liquid do you use with the acrygel system on the brush to move the product? I’m attempting to order for my salon but I’m not sure what to get!
We use our Gel Residue Wipe Off Solution 💅😍

Love it. Why is it called a baby boomer I've always wondered !!!
Love all your videos! Can you infill with acrygel? Would love to see a video on this! Xxx
Did she say anything about what was the liquid that she used to form the gel with? It wasn’t monomer right? 🤔
I believe its gel residue wipe off remover (i've noticed thats what she uses from other videos). Some people use 70% isopropyl alcohol. It acts as a monomer to mold but its not a true monomer
Awesome 😍😍❤😘
Beautiful💅💞
Is acrygel the same as polygel
Kinda sorta. Depends on the manufacturer
Is acrygel a soak off or do you have to file off like hard gel?
We haven't taken it off yet, but I think it's soak off.
Kirstin Id love to see you try fiberglass!!!

Do you skip primer when using acrygel? Is it only for acrylics ?
With AcryGel we're not using primer, but Base Gel (similar to Gel Polish application). But if you want to use primer with it, you can.🙂💅
Your so beautiful Ms. Kirsty 😍
New subscriber here from philippines
What tips dis you use in this video?
I totally want to try this with the acrygel! Question: how does the smell of the acrygel compare to the smell.of acrylic and gel?
AcryGel is almost odourless 😉
@@NaioNailsOfficial o sweet!!!! Cant wait to make my purchase!
I liked
Why base coat on the natural nail? Or did she mean primer? But she cured it, so it WAS base coat. I'm confused?!?!?
what i *HATE* about acrylic is that when i do my french tips sometimes it has a harsh line, so i have to keep going over and further with my nail and it ends up looking really good, but then so thick.
Mix your white with some clear.ombres and colour fades always work better with less pigmented colours. 70% opaque is good
You've had the same nail design yourself for what it seems weeks and weeks! Hahaha
I think she must have filmed a lot of videos at once
Kirsty. Where do you get those tips from please?
You can get them from our website. 😘😍 xxx
does anyone know which brush she is using?
I thought sculpting acrylic required a form not a tip?
You can use both a form and a tip just like acrygel
Cool super
Los subtitulos no me deja ver bien la aplicacion
