😂 *Omg, at first I'm like, 🤔 "Why is Kirsty speaking to both sides of the room? Does she not know where the camera is at?" 😄 Then camera pans to a crowd of people in the background. Lol!* 😝
You and Suzie from Nail Career Education are the best nail instructors on RUclips. I wish i could take your class. I'm so thankful you put these on RUclips💜💜
I agree they both focus on having a solid foundation & correct technique, then making the nails pretty. So many channels it's all about how pretty the nail looks not the structure of the nail.
After learning how to do my own nails this past year and using your entire routine for prep, form fitting, application, and filing, I'm proud to say I love sculpting and have gotten very good at pinching, shaping, filing, etc. I haven't used tips in 8 months. :) Also I only use my efile around my cuticles for finish filing just because my hands get stiff (old injury). Thank you so much for all your help and inspiration! You are the absolute best imo. I'm disabled and only work on myself but I dream of getting healthy and getting my license one day. ❤❤❤ This nail hobby has got me through a lot of tough times, and so have your videos. Love Adam too and can't wait for another Faye set, or Andreas extreme shaped nails, hell even JJ's. Hope you all have a great weekend, love from Tennessee, U.S.A. 😊❤❤❤
I'm guilty of that incorrect file angle down the side. So changing that right away!!! Completely see how I'm doing it wrong. Thanks for these great videos, I'm learning so much! 💅👏🙌😁
I learn something new every time I watch one of Kirsty's videos. This time it was the bit of monomer below the 2nd bead to help melt it into the 1st bead easier and the e-filing of the tip edge under the nail at the end to hide the tip. AWESOME!
I have no desire to be a tech - I hate people and salon small talk - but I would love to take classes. Just to learn all this stuff, even if I never used it.
That’s pretty much what I’ve done. I wanted to be qualified in nails but I still work my full time job. I have a nail room at home and I’m selective about what nail clients I take on. I don’t think I’d want to do it full time, I just love nails 😍
I'm the same as you. Except I found out how much I hate salon small talk and dealing with people AFTER I got my nail tech license and started working! Now I just do my own nails for fun.
I mainly sculpt but I will use tips on clients who are expert nail biters. The tips really help the chronic biters. I am SO glad that you bought up pricing in your class. So many people undercut their talent.
This is a fantastically detailed tutorial on acrylic placement (cuticle) and best practice filing routine. Thank you Kirsty this is more helpful than anything else I’ve seen on perfecting tip (mock-sculpting) & filing techniques. 😘💨❤️❤️❤️
Really appreciate these videos! I have been wanting you to do videos like these !! Thank you so much && don’t get me wrong I love the crazy fun designs but it always good to see the best doing the basics for us.
Fabulous as always. Unfortunately where I live I am not racist but the Vietnamese on 98% and 99% of all the nail salons around here. They refuse to sculpt they will not put a sculpting form on they do tips with an overlay and it is just ungodly. They will put the biggest blob on and then they don't even I don't even shape it it's I can't even begin to explain and then the product that they use I don't know what they're using but it your your tips just pop right off that's just it and then when you go in they charge you an extra $5 some of them 7 to $10 just for one fingernail because they didn't put it on properly. the last time I went and had any done I didn't even let him finish filing I got up and walked out it was that bad and they all were off within 2 days and it cost me $65 American and it was just the most repulsive set of nails and he owned the place he said. They refuse to do a ballerina shape even with a tip that's 15 extra dollars and then they still going to give you the ballerina. If you want a sticker put on $5 if you want gel top coat on $10 by the time you walk out it's astronomical it's ridiculous and then they just pop off in 2 days and your nail bed is all damaged it's all completely dented in. I'm legally blind and I do my own I'm crippled so I got to stand up and walk around blah blah blah come back I don't see the whole fingernail when I'm doing my own but I get more compliments on my nails and then anything. that is probably because I'm blind and my clothes are on inside out and backwards a lot of the time oh and my shoes are the same so sometimes the colors don't match and I don't know that but Hey Nobody's Perfect. Love ya keep them coming!!
id really love to hear more about your salon experience, ive been doing acrylic and gel nails since i was 17 (22 in literally 10 minutes hahahah) i cant wait to see where i'll be one day x
Thats why I love you bcuz you do sculpt a nail like I love to do..my clients do come back for a fill after 3 to 5 weeks to a month an half..if there is broken nails,its bcuz they accidentally banged their nails..I.hate glueing and sizing the nails tips and cut and blend them..not people has perfect nail beds and its so hard to glued those tips on a flat and wide nail beds..I agree with you..sculpting is faster..and you can costumize whatever nail type you want to achieve..
I have never used tips. Just started with sculpting. I am still not 100% confident but I am pretty decent. :) watching your videos has taught me SOOOOOO much
You are so right!! I used to be scared of sculpting a nail but after I figured out how to do it, I could never use a tip again. They are so hard now. Great video
Thanx again! I love and appreciate so so soooo much when you share your classes with us peasants 😂 Is as if I was taking your class there. I'm in North Carolina US so taking your classes is only a dream but by you shareing them I feel as if part of the dream becomes reality. Thanx, LOVE YA girl 💖
Kirsty your arms and hands are all dark and really tan but your face/neck are different color lol. Is it the light thats making you look darker or did you use a self tanner type thing? Either way I can only dream of having a nice dark tan lol I'm so white but I don't want to go tanning because of my tattoos but I also haven't found a self tanner that works great and doesn't streak
Hello Kirsty! Super great Idea ... thank's for sharing this Video ... great Job as every time!😍💅👍 I want to ask u, if u have this Tips from this Video in ur Shop!?🤔 Thanks again, have a nice Tuesday and much greetings from Vienna!😍👍🙋🏻♀️😘
Where are those courses? Just in UK? I would love to take some classes with you, you are such a great artist and teacher. I have learned so much from you, I actually started 'doing' nails again because of your videos, around 13 years ago I started but I went to University and I quit, but blahblah I moved from my country and I started again (my owns) I took a course (not good), now I'm taking another with a famous brand here in Europe (hope it could be better) and next year I'm planning to go to a Camp Nail, but I would love to learn with you, I don't know if you are the best in the world, but so far for me yes 😁😁. ❤❤🥰
I honestly love these kinds of tutorials that show the basics of nails. Thank you so much for making this one. I do have a question, did Kirsty use max adhesion, medium speed or high speed. Thanks!
I was in stitches 😂 needed that, thank you. So educational and entertaining today. I always enjoy the videos and cool designs, but understanding the technical stuff is great too (not that I'll ever use it...!) 🤣
I am so greatful for how generous you are Kirsty showing everyone your skills!! Your not greedy and money hungry like many techs I see these days.. like the ones who refuse to show you anything unless your paying them hundreds of dollars for a couple hours of there time for a class with them! I have seen techs posting crap saying they have plenty of people who are willing to pay a shit ton of money for there time and it's not fair to there paying students if there gonna put free content out! Which I think.is complete bullshit! You do it Kristy and share ur knowledge with the world for free but then have classes where u go waaay more in depth! And everyone is totally ok with that!! Sadly ive noticed only techs over in the UK that I see being greedy and I would kill to see a couple second video demonstration of anything from these amazing techs in the UK bc I'm in the US I cant take any classes with any of u guys! Its just shitty how some very well known techs in the UK which I'll remain nameless are so greedy for money and the only way they will show you anything is if ur paying!! ITS BULLSHIT!! Ok I'm done ranting lol thank you sooo much for sharing your skills with us all Kirsty!! 😁😁😁😁
Is there a style of nails (in the US I think?) that's very sort of 'claw' looking? I keep seeing these Instagrams of wide nails that taper really suddenly to a sharp point, and curve downward as well? But the number of pictures I see, it seems to be a deliberate choice, and I've never seen it here in Australia - or even online before now.
Shes like can we use out e files at this point and kirsty says to herself in her head "NOOO U JERKKKKK WHY YOU THINK IM SHOWING YOU ALLL THIS?????????" LOL im just playing. No neex for anyone yo get offended its just a joke!!!😂😂😂
Kirsty I love love loved watching this video. You are one of the best instructors I have ever come across. You explain everything so it's simple to understand. Thank you to your students for letting us watch their class. Thank you so much for sharing this video on your channel xXx
I’m absolutely sick of NSS the council need to shut these places down they’re so unsanitary and usually human trafficking ! They’re crippling people who put so much time, effort and money into their craft..
These days, it is a must to have your nails sculpted. Because of the pricing, so many women are now doing their own nails. Especially now that the dual forms are accessible with polygel kits.
If any Americans can go to this class you should especially if you don’t live in a big city. You’d make so much money here with these skills. No one does sculpting, really no one can do or will do anything unique. You can get basic tips with acrylic and pick a color that’s it. The people at the salon hate anyone who wants anything different and it’s crazy expensive and we won’t even get into the how unsanitary even nice salons are
Wait, Kirsty's been doing nails for over twenty years??? She looks like she's in her early thirties, but even if she started straight out the gate at 18, that would put her in her forties!!!
I would much rather sculpt a tip than put an actual tip on. gel or acrylic.. sculpted nails just feel and look better, plus they feel stronger than a tip overlay
Every nail place ive been to use tips that are smaller than my nail and i always thought it was weird and looked funny, but not wanting to tell people how to do their job i left it alone, but noowwww imma request a wider nail.
No that is what i was told when I got my stuff for my setup... Have been doing gel nails for quite some time and that didn't sound familiar too me, soo I had to just check up on that😬😬
Lol, this is so weird. I was re-watching some older Naio videos last night and wondering why Kirsty never uses tips anymore. Then BAM this video today. Maybe tonight I should wonder where my "missing" millions of dollars went lol
I am beyond frustrated trying to find a nail tech in my town that will pinch. :( Almost every tech I've asked looks at me like I'm crazy. I'M so sad! Help!!!!!
Mama Point bring your own pinching tool n slap that sucker on each nail as they’re doing em 🤣🤣 maybe then they’ll take the hint that they’re behind the times lmao
I just want to say Thank You for helping me make my dreams come true. I've only started but from following your advice and taking notes, I'm doing amazing tbh. I wish I was in the UK and could meet you one day. You're my idol. I want to be as good as you one day. I look up to you like others look up to sports stars or musicians. 💜👑💃🦄
I'm a DIYer and I'm just absolute RUBBISH on tips. I do them with a gel (base, color, top coat) over them and the tips last maybe a week? Just can never get them to last @.@ They always pop off
I love that yellow polish you're wearing. Yellow is my favorite color. Love your videos, too! Your personality and the great way you explain and simplify things are so fun to watch.
I'm at home trying to learn and this is EXACTLY where I am. Got a set on 1 hand and I'm proud to say they survived a full week in a machine shop. Looking forward to trying out sculpting!
I've always looked at tip as just platform, always taken it way on free edge if i can, ..kind proud of myself never did I think my filing routine ,tip application is the same as Kirsty's.👍🏻🙏🏻😁
I wanted to cry when I heard these amazing women talk about their prices. So many amazing artists in our industry live and charge in a mindset of scarcity and competition instead of taking the power and knowing the worth of their artistry and time. I love that you travel and empower these artists with the technical ability to hopefully make that change for themselves so they can live in mindset of abundance and prosperity. It doesn’t happen over night, it’s taken me 8 years to build the confidence, technical ability, and trust with my client to build to $100 haircut and 200$ color services. Don’t settle, always progress and further yourself!!!
Kirsty!,,Much love from Kenya.The humor you incorporate in yoh teaching makes you the kind of the teacher I wanna listen all day and call my grandchildren when I am tired.
I wish they would've showed more of the students applying their first application of acrylic, that way I can see where I'm at, where I can be and how to correct what I do.
Greetings from Bellingham, Wa!! I'm getting a fill this weekend and this video was incredibly helpful. I've binged your videos and know what to look for in a nail tech. My ultimate wish is to have you do my nails.
I've just started practicing my own nails, I've tried tips, dual forms and sculpting forms and i only seem to be able to get on with the sculpting forms xx
It's fun to see you in teaching mode, really different kind of vibe. You're a good teacher. I love a good teacher. Thanks for sharing your wisdom and gifts with us. :)
Yes, I sculpt nails all the time, can't remember last time I actually used a tip. It's much faster. I think alot of ppl just either don't know how to do a sculpted nail or don't like doing it. My new clients ask why I do it this way and they tell me they have never seen it done the way I do it (sculpted) I love sculpting them, I think it's easier also. TFS I love your videos 😍
Would love you to teach me doing lessons, since being in Lockdown is taught myself how to do my own nails and brought everything I need from you. Abouslty love videos and nails you are brilliant x
😂 *Omg, at first I'm like, 🤔 "Why is Kirsty speaking to both sides of the room? Does she not know where the camera is at?" 😄 Then camera pans to a crowd of people in the background. Lol!* 😝
She Who Knows All same lol
You and Suzie from Nail Career Education are the best nail instructors on RUclips. I wish i could take your class. I'm so thankful you put these on RUclips💜💜
k rissa yeahhh 100% agree with you...They are among the reason why i want to become a nail tech💖💖💖
I absolutely agree....
I agree they both focus on having a solid foundation & correct technique, then making the nails pretty. So many channels it's all about how pretty the nail looks not the structure of the nail.
Then your all in luck as Kirsty has mentioned a video of them two together when they can both manage to be on the same continent 👍
I really like Liz from the Nail Hub, too.
‘I said the answer in my head but I didn’t verbalise it’. I relate too hard to that 😂😂
Kirsty: I'll show you sculpting are better and faster than tips.
Student: I'll charge more because I take longer.
Kirsty: *dead inside
After learning how to do my own nails this past year and using your entire routine for prep, form fitting, application, and filing, I'm proud to say I love sculpting and have gotten very good at pinching, shaping, filing, etc. I haven't used tips in 8 months. :) Also I only use my efile around my cuticles for finish filing just because my hands get stiff (old injury).

Holly Demarco
Lmao sounds like you kicked the tip habit!!!!! Stay tip sober lmao
Holly Demarco I have Cerebral palsy and love doing nails,sculpting is awesome
Hey! Kentucky gal here. We're country neighbors lol. Hey y'all!
Kirsty you’re an amazing teacher! If you can, could you please do more videos like this?
Stephanie yeah I love this style too
She is a great teacher! And her personality makes it fun!
I'm guilty of that incorrect file angle down the side. So changing that right away!!! Completely see how I'm doing it wrong. Thanks for these great videos, I'm learning so much! 💅👏🙌😁
I'm early! Yay! Your videos teach me do many things ! I now do my nails on my own!
I learn something new every time I watch one of Kirsty's videos. This time it was the bit of monomer below the 2nd bead to help melt it into the 1st bead easier and the e-filing of the tip edge under the nail at the end to hide the tip. AWESOME!
Gosh, you can't possibly be doing this for 23 years ... you just turned 25!
True lol.I don't think you can do nails at 2
Oof some of those girls nails were questionable
I have no desire to be a tech - I hate people and salon small talk - but I would love to take classes. Just to learn all this stuff, even if I never used it.
Jo Luffman
Lmao this is me too. Except my plan is to go get my license this year!
That’s pretty much what I’ve done. I wanted to be qualified in nails but I still work my full time job. I have a nail room at home and I’m selective about what nail clients I take on. I don’t think I’d want to do it full time, I just love nails 😍
Me too....just on my own nails....😁
I'm the same as you. Except I found out how much I hate salon small talk and dealing with people AFTER I got my nail tech license and started working! Now I just do my own nails for fun.
I mainly sculpt but I will use tips on clients who are expert nail biters. The tips really help the chronic biters.
I am SO glad that you bought up pricing in your class. So many people undercut their talent.
Cute Cat
True. Clients want a cheap price but you get what you pay for! If I get good enough, I’m gonna get paid fo sho!
This is a fantastically detailed tutorial on acrylic placement (cuticle) and best practice filing routine.
Thank you Kirsty this is more helpful than anything else I’ve seen on perfecting tip (mock-sculpting) & filing techniques.
😘💨❤️❤️❤️
Really appreciate these videos! I have been wanting you to do videos like these !! Thank you so much
&& don’t get me wrong I love the crazy fun designs but it always good to see the best doing the basics for us.
Who after watching these videos paints their nails and books a nail appointment to get acrylics 😂😂😂 ME
Scarlett I got mine done last night, fresh sets make me feel like a new bitch 😂💁🏽♀️
I like it because as a customer I now know if the techs are doing a good job or not.
Fabulous as always. Unfortunately where I live I am not racist but the Vietnamese on 98% and 99% of all the nail salons around here.

id really love to hear more about your salon experience, ive been doing acrylic and gel nails since i was 17 (22 in literally 10 minutes hahahah) i cant wait to see where i'll be one day x
OMG one day i have to travel to you... I need to take One of your courses
I wish I could go to one of your classes 😢
This is a really informative video. I also love all of Kirsty's sound effects, they're great!
I won’t use tips! Glue yuck burns my eyes and makes my nose run and trying to find and fit tips gives me a headache! Sculpting only here!! Love you 🥰
Thats why I love you bcuz you do sculpt a nail like I love to do..my clients do come back for a fill after 3 to 5 weeks to a month an half..if there is broken nails,its bcuz they accidentally banged their nails..I.hate glueing and sizing the nails tips and cut and blend them..not people has perfect nail beds and its so hard to glued those tips on a flat and wide nail beds..I agree with you..sculpting is faster..and you can costumize whatever nail type you want to achieve..
Kristy great video I cannot express how grateful I am for you sharing your techniques. I’ve learned so much from watching you.
I have never used tips. Just started with sculpting. I am still not 100% confident but I am pretty decent. :) watching your videos has taught me SOOOOOO much
You are so right!! I used to be scared of sculpting a nail but after I figured out how to do it, I could never use a tip again. They are so hard now. Great video
Omg in Switzerland 🇨🇭 we pay no less than 100.- Pounds for a full set 😳
I swear no one where I live sculpts, it's only tips 😔
Elle i agree, everywhere I’ve been has always been tips
I really wish I could do nails like you 😩😩😩❤️❤️🤧🤧
Thanx again! I love and appreciate so so soooo much when you share your classes with us peasants 😂 Is as if I was taking your class there. I'm in North Carolina US so taking your classes is only a dream but by you shareing them I feel as if part of the dream becomes reality. Thanx, LOVE YA girl 💖
Kirsty your arms and hands are all dark and really tan but your face/neck are different color lol. Is it the light thats making you look darker or did you use a self tanner type thing? Either way I can only dream of having a nice dark tan lol I'm so white but I don't want to go tanning because of my tattoos but I also haven't found a self tanner that works great and doesn't streak
Omg to actually be taught by Kirsty herself!! I'd drop a deuce as soon as she walked in the room! 😂

I honestly love these kinds of tutorials that show the basics of nails. Thank you so much for making this one. I do have a question, did Kirsty use max adhesion, medium speed or high speed. Thanks!
I was in stitches 😂 needed that, thank you. So educational and entertaining today. I always enjoy the videos and cool designs, but understanding the technical stuff is great too (not that I'll ever use it...!) 🤣
Question: How long does it take for Kirsty to make a full set of those on her own timing? Can you please ask her, Adam? Huge fan here 😄
Brilliant video your amazing I would pay that for you to do my nails worth every penny take care x
I am so greatful for how generous you are Kirsty showing everyone your skills!!

But the number of pictures I see, it seems to be a deliberate choice, and I've never seen it here in Australia - or even online before now.
MissDraiha - stiletto nails?
MissDraiha the stilettos and ballerina shapes are pretty popular in Toronto
I am loving these detailed tutorials. They are so helpful. Thank you so much.
Shes like can we use out e files at this point and kirsty says to herself in her head "NOOO U JERKKKKK WHY YOU THINK IM SHOWING YOU ALLL THIS?????????" LOL im just playing. No neex for anyone yo get offended its just a joke!!!😂😂😂
I bet you found us hard to understand Kirsty! 😂
Loved that video! 💕
Kirsty I love love loved watching this video. You are one of the best instructors I have ever come across. You explain everything so it's simple to understand.
Thank you to your students for letting us watch their class.
Thank you so much for sharing this video on your channel xXx
Please, please please can you do a "how much" series 💖
I’m absolutely sick of NSS the council need to shut these places down they’re so unsanitary and usually human trafficking ! They’re crippling people who put so much time, effort and money into their craft..
Nobody in America: So is 159.00£ the same amount as $159.00 USD or NAH??? 💯😁
thank you for expalining WHY your doing what your doing, it makes a huge difference
These days, it is a must to have your nails sculpted. Because of the pricing, so many women are now doing their own nails. Especially now that the dual forms are accessible with polygel kits.
If any Americans can go to this class you should especially if you don’t live in a big city. You’d make so much money here with these skills.

Wait, Kirsty's been doing nails for over twenty years??? She looks like she's in her early thirties, but even if she started straight out the gate at 18, that would put her in her forties!!!
Muy bonitas las uñas, pero las cejas.....debería practicar un poco con eso, y bajarselas un poco.
I can't understand why you would chew your nails remember where your hands have been 😝😝😝😝
I would much rather sculpt a tip than put an actual tip on. gel or acrylic.. sculpted nails just feel and look better, plus they feel stronger than a tip overlay
Every nail place ive been to use tips that are smaller than my nail and i always thought it was weird and looked funny, but not wanting to tell people how to do their job i left it alone, but noowwww imma request a wider nail.
Sculpted nails are the best but your the Queen love...xoxo
What’s happened to the camera lately , can’t see anything you are doing !!!
I would come from Australia to Scottland to learn from you
xo
Hii KM!!
Im all new to the Acrylic system, one thing that im not familiar with is a Gel base coat before you apply the acrylic???💁💁🤔🤔
Petro Van Diggelen there was no gel base coat? Just dehydrator and primer liquids.
Petro Van Diggelen gel base coat isn’t applied before acrylic. 🤣 you are a newbie.
No that is what i was told when I got my stuff for my setup... Have been doing gel nails for quite some time and that didn't sound familiar too me, soo I had to just check up on that😬😬
Zijn er dames uit Nederland die naar deze video van Kirsty kijken?
I wish you were in NYC or even longisland Newyork
Beautiful lesson tank you
Thank you for your lovely comment!
Why does she keep turning her head like that its creepy.. lol oh shes talking to people
Lol, this is so weird. I was re-watching some older Naio videos last night and wondering why Kirsty never uses tips anymore. Then BAM this video today. Maybe tonight I should wonder where my "missing" millions of dollars went lol
Gold star for the girl who came in clutch w the cutters
What brush is she using I need a good one that isn’t too expensive
The link to the nail tips does not go to the product.
Me encantan tus videos saludos desde cancun mexico.
You are so awesome!! I love your channel
🥥ur inspected regularly Derick
I am beyond frustrated trying to find a nail tech in my town that will pinch. :( Almost every tech I've asked looks at me like I'm crazy. I'M so sad! Help!!!!!
Mama Point bring your own pinching tool n slap that sucker on each nail as they’re doing em 🤣🤣 maybe then they’ll take the hint that they’re behind the times lmao
Thank you so very much for this video, inlearned alot🥰😘❤️U’r the best❤️❤️❤️
Are those tip pre pinched. Where are these tips from
I just want to say Thank You for helping me make my dreams come true. I've only started but from following your advice and taking notes, I'm doing amazing tbh. I wish I was in the UK and could meet you one day. You're my idol. I want to be as good as you one day. I look up to you like others look up to sports stars or musicians. 💜👑💃🦄
I'm a DIYer and I'm just absolute RUBBISH on tips. I do them with a gel (base, color, top coat) over them and the tips last maybe a week? Just can never get them to last @.@ They always pop off
Felt like I was there learning myself. Great tutorial and wonderful teacher. Thanks Kirsty. You rock those nails.
I always thought using tips was quicker than sculpting... here in my town everybody uses tips..
I love that yellow polish you're wearing. Yellow is my favorite color. Love your videos, too! Your personality and the great way you explain and simplify things are so fun to watch.
You are an excellent instructor!!!
Hola, podría ser subtitulada, así entenderemos tu explicación,, los que no sabemos inglés,, gracias por compartir
I'm at home trying to learn and this is EXACTLY where I am. Got a set on 1 hand and I'm proud to say they survived a full week in a machine shop. Looking forward to trying out sculpting!
As a nail tech, these videos give me life.
Love these videos! If you’re ever down my way I’ll be coming to a class 😍
I've always looked at tip as just platform, always taken it way on free edge if i can, ..kind proud of myself never did I think my filing routine ,tip application is the same as Kirsty's.👍🏻🙏🏻😁
You are f****** amazing and I HATE that I’m in the US and so far from you!! You are the best teacher EVER!
I wanted to cry when I heard these amazing women talk about their prices. So many amazing artists in our industry live and charge in a mindset of scarcity and competition instead of taking the power and knowing the worth of their artistry and time. I love that you travel and empower these artists with the technical ability to hopefully make that change for themselves so they can live in mindset of abundance and prosperity. It doesn’t happen over night, it’s taken me 8 years to build the confidence, technical ability, and trust with my client to build to $100 haircut and 200$ color services. Don’t settle, always progress and further yourself!!!
Kirsty!,,Much love from Kenya.The humor you incorporate in yoh teaching makes you the kind of the teacher I wanna listen all day and call my grandchildren when I am tired.
Kirsty your fabulous!
I wish they would've showed more of the students applying their first application of acrylic, that way I can see where I'm at, where I can be and how to correct what I do.
Greetings from Bellingham, Wa!! I'm getting a fill this weekend and this video was incredibly helpful. I've binged your videos and know what to look for in a nail tech. My ultimate wish is to have you do my nails.
I've just started practicing my own nails, I've tried tips, dual forms and sculpting forms and i only seem to be able to get on with the sculpting forms xx
It's fun to see you in teaching mode, really different kind of vibe. You're a good teacher. I love a good teacher. Thanks for sharing your wisdom and gifts with us. :)
What tips did you use in this video?
Yes, I sculpt nails all the time, can't remember last time I actually used a tip. It's much faster. I think alot of ppl just either don't know how to do a sculpted nail or don't like doing it. My new clients ask why I do it this way and they tell me they have never seen it done the way I do it (sculpted) I love sculpting them, I think it's easier also. TFS I love your videos 😍
Would love you to teach me doing lessons, since being in Lockdown is taught myself how to do my own nails and brought everything I need from you. Abouslty love videos and nails you are brilliant x
