Replacing My Acrylic Extensions With A Builder Gel Overlay ft. My Natural Nails
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 6 сен 2024
- Hi everybody,
Today I’m going to do my own nails today and I’m going to use the Builder Gel.
I’m going to start my soaking off my full cover tips, same as I’d soak of an extension, by removing the gel polish with a file and then wrapping in an acetone soak pad and foil. I’ll then prep the cuticle area with my file, but you can use a cuticle pusher and scraper. I’m going to make all my nails the same length and shape with a 240 grit file and then I’m ready to apply the builder gel.
I’m going to dehydrate the nails and then apply base coat. For the builder gel, I’m going to start at the cuticle area and sweep side to side, keeping contact with the nail to apply it to the nail, do the nails one at a time. Brush on a thin layer to add a little extra thickness and then wipe off the sticky layer - it’s very sticky on these. I’m then going to file them to perfect the shape. I’m going to finish with Beauty Beneath, Top Coat and cuticle oil.
I hope you enjoyed this video, don’t forget to like and subscribe.
Lots of Love
Kirsty XOXO

Although I love all your work Kirsty, it’s actually nice to see some natural nails and shorter designs too. As you know it’s not practical for everyone to have certain length nails. So seeing these makes a nice change. Your nail look fabulous Kirsty x
Definitely! I'm a massage therapist and also work in hospitality, long nails aren't something I can do.
Mr or Ms Audio Person - you have done a bang-up job on the audio levels. I can hear the banter between Kirsty and Adam without piercing my eardrums when Kirsty laughs. So often, I'm using my volume constantly while watching vids on this channel but this vid I didn't touch it once. Kirsty and Adam make such a great team and you can tell they have a good time working together. Your whole team Rocks! Thanks again from British Columbia.
Yassss, I couldn't agree more! Spot on! Please do make the intro a little quieter though. I always have to mute it. Love you guys, and thank you for putting out some shorter videos too. Love a whole hand, but it's great to be able to see one nail in more detail. xxx
that would be the doing of adam i believe. he is the camera guy. 😊
I LOVE when you do your own nails! These videos help me SO much because I do my own nails at home with gel polish or builder gel. Don't get me wrong I love ALL the videos but I'm never gonna do super long acrylic stiletto nails on myself. I'd love to see more gel polish designs that can be done on shorter nails. I'm thinking about trying to do tortoise shell nails next! 🐢💅
I wish I knew how! I want to do my own but they're so thin and brittle. I give up!
@@RhondaReally take the leap!! Try bottled builder and structure gels, it's not as hard as you think. Watch all the youTube videos you can find on them, Kristy Nao Nails, Suzie Nail Career Education, Liz Nail Hub and many other non professionals who give surprisingly great tips. Sure, you won't be able to do what they do, at least not right away but you will do more as you learn more and will be surprised at what you can do to create your own great looking nails.
Sorry Kirsty, I didn't mean to spell your name wrong 🤪
Hey, where can unlicensed individuals purchase the biab?
Anyone know what E file she uses
I’ve been doing my own nails for a while now and I loooooove builder gel for my natural nails. It keeps them strong and they’ve grown out longer than I could have ever imagined. I use a clear builder gel (two layers) then I use whatever gel polish on top. It nice because I can change up the color anytime without removing the clear builder gel. It’s a miracle in a bottle honestly!
Marie Booster is it a hard process to do on yourself? I’ve never done it before but I really want to try after seeing this
Hey, where do you purchase the builder gel? Do I have to be licensed to purchase?
Can you explain? This is exactly what I want to do.
ok so how long were your nails when u started ... i have yet to use my builder gel lol i have been using the gel polish and full cover nails my nails were growing img finally had some free edge and then they all started to break right when i was getting ready to use the gel lol now i have to wait once again ..... so my question is can thus been done on your nails if they are short
@@shauwn_oy14, absolutely can be done with short nails. I started with poly gel and dual forms until I had a fair amount of growth, then did builder gel overlays to continue. No forms being used after that. I can't type with long nails, so I keep mine short -with my nail just peeking over the top of my finger. I want to try solid gels now.
i'm still in the beggining of the video but i'm actually glad to see an overlay done by a professional once in a while, i really think people don't use their natural nails as a base often enough, i do this for mine because i really like the extra strenght it gives and i'vedoing this for YEARS now like almost 7 years already [ i just keep up the shape, and lenght i like, around 2cm, of natural below and overlay ontop, just as good as extensions but with that extra 'oomph' since for me at least it's way less common to have any lifting, breakage, and cracks in general]
Kirsty you’re my hero! I was in a class and admitted I bite my nails and it gonsmacked by another student with the comment of “You’re a nail tech and you bite your nails! That’s not professional!” My response was I’m not alone there are many top professionals who also bite their nails so bugger off!
These videos help me so much, when I want to start my own nail business in the future 🥰😁
Good luck!
same! good luck girl!
Awesome! Good luck! May you be very successful. ❤️
I hope you can do that❤️ I want to do that in college to get some side money. I’m actually starting now at 14 I found a cheap Wish polygel nail kit and I’m super exited to try it. Wish had good quality stuff for cheap so that’s a great start.
Me too! Best of luck to you all ❤
Gel looks so much easier than acrylic! Gonna have to give it a go.
Kirsty makes it look so easy and effortless.
I love you K! Your overall positivity and happiness is infectious!
I really enjoy watching and listening to you. I've learnt so much in the last two days staying up til the wee hours of the morning watching your teaching videos. Hahaha! lovely!
Love your natural nails... I am on a quest to grow out my own natural nails... You and Adam rock... love from Cleveland, Ohio, USA...
I love the short gel natural look you can make them a bit glam too but only for special occasions
I have tried it and I love it. For doing it myself. Enjoy.
I was so inspired I bought rose quartz build in the bottle and I love the finish. My soft nails feel really solid and are a lovely shape. Cheers 😁
May I ask what nail lamp you find I'd best to cure builder gel and how long you Cure for 😊
I pretty much exclusively wear builder in a bottle these days (not this brand) and have found that you can get away with longer nails if you are willing to let the natural nail grow underneath for support. It’s a matter of preference , but an option nonetheless!
I was so relieved that your natural nails were that long under the acrylic you removed. I was worried that I was doing my rebases wrong by not doing brand new sets every so often. I hope that made sense. I love your videos. I always learn so much from them that I can apply when doing mine.
Thank you great tutorial! Deciding to my own nails due to COVID-19 lockdown here in California. Just waiting for my supplies from Amazon.
I just ordered builder in a bottle! Clear pink and white. Along with some gel colors, base and top coat, and I don’t remember what else. I’m super excited!
WELL? How did it go for you ? If you get a chance to answer me it would be so great of you !
I have thin nails too, sensitive to the touch when I have some products on them or even from water when pruned from it. However, I got Kiara Sky Nail Gel Kit and I plan on doing them as soon as all the polish and things I ordered come.
May Jesus Keep You ~
I can so relate to your wanting to remove your natural nails.... when I don’t have extensions on I chew my poor nails right down to the quick! But little videos like this encourage me for the in between times when resting them from acrylics. Thank you woman!
Fab hun. I use my builder in a bottle to do infills. As I now have 4 children the youngest now being 6 months old I don't always have time to do a proper infill. Xxx
i love this video because I wanted to do my own nails but they are so thin and tear easilt so the builder gel will help alot! and I love the nail color, will try that out aswell, thanks for the links of the products.
I’ve been using Builder in a Bottle, rose quartz, as an overlay on my natural nails for a few months now and I’m loving it! I always like growing my nails out but when they’d get a certain length, I’d get a break, but not anymore.
Anne Findley is that hard to do on yourself? My nails are SUPER weak, and I don’t want much length. Thinking of trying to learn how to do this on myself
Tiffany Sanchez I found it pretty easy to do. On my non dominant hand that has short nails, it takes a little more time but the more I do it, the easier it gets. And infills are really easy to do also. Definitely give it a try!
Love the colour of your hair, that suits you so much. Xxx
You do great nails like a rock star. Best teacher that gives master classes. I have a tip for you get some collagen with peptides in it to strengthen your nails.
Love your videos! You are a perfectionist like me. Been licensed since 1990 & have never let anyone else do my nails-I do them myself!😉✌🏻
I have bought it, really lovely to use, and lasts till you take it off.
I love my builder gel over lays! I prefer soak off so I end up using it in a bottle alot. I prefer pots but so hard to find soak offs.
When I'm feeling froggy I even make a small extension with forms.
To remove the non soak offs I file as much as possible & then use magic burst gel removers
I LOVE the new nails. If I wasn’t in Philly I’d make an appointment. ✌🏼🍀
I had my acrylics off and had an overlay, and the guy who did my nails said it is just an acrylic over the natural nail. I was surprised cos it still looks like I have acrylics still with the acrylic underneath my nail!! Plus my nails have been bleeding, like inside the nail bed I think the acrylic has aggravated my nail! Love your channel just found you!
Omg thank you I love you and I have been looking for a good overlay video and this just popped up! Best nail teacher ever everything is so clearly explained in detail yet with humour and without rambling ! Lots of love ❤
Oh, what a pretty color! It's just gorgeous on Kirsty's hands. It seemed a bit weird not to add any crystals or glitter to any of the nails, though. No paintings, either.
Love love love!!, 😍 plain Jane is my thing, and so much easier for me to change( which is at least once a week) 🤦♀️especially after a long week at work 😥👍it brightens up my mood, thank you kirsty 😘
I do love the color & I think I’m gonna get this done on my next nail appointment 👍🏼 thank you!
Love the colour!
I watch so many channel videos that sometimes I dream that it's my fingernails, then I wake up and I'm very sorry. Hahaha
Omg same, I look at my hands & it just doesn't feel right lol
Gm!! I love to watch you do your nails!!
U r the best of the best @naionails #naionails u have video for everything I ever wanna learn. I wanna take a class
You are so BEAUTIFUL and you Rock...🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
I wish you could do my nails. I have NEVER done my
nails. But I love that pink you have done...❤️❤️
Here i am again back with my kirsty meakin addiction 😍 love this video lv Goldenize x
YAY! Doing your own nails! The teacher doing her nails! They look hreat by the way! Great! Builder gel! I've been using more gel and poly gel on my fingernails because there is no smell. I still love your channel Kirsty!
I’ve watched this video SO many times😂 I love it, sooo therapeutic to watch and I just love natural nails with biab🤩😍😍
Cuticle: Kirsty, don't torture me, pleeeeeaaaase!!!
Kirsty: may be next time, hahahaha
kobra_fu I do relate. 😂
Very pretty Kirsty thanks for sharing and showing luv much love always 💅💕💕💕
Thank you so much Im gonna try mine right now 🥰 I love your videos
Yes for the natural nails!!
I do this on my own nails all the time...I like it much better and my nails always look good...they are strong too.
They look sooooooo good Kirsty !!!! But I do miss your old videos. Like doing your long extension with beautiful acrylic and bling.
She's crazy!!! I love her!!!🥰
Love them. When I am curing anything I lay my palm flat so my thumb is facing backward and use 2 lights, a big one for my 4 fingers and a small single nail lamp for my thumb. That way everything is flat and cured properly.
I love you and your videos. You are beautiful inside and out. I think you are beautiful and I love your glasses. Beautiful nails thank you for sharing.
I just found this video!! I hope I can learn some things here. I am such a tomboy! AWESOME!!
Rght! Been watching your videos for a while now trying to pluck up the courage to get my own ones done. I'm 50 and never been to a salon. My niece once stuck some nails on me about 10 years ago maybe more. Burned me with the lamp, it felt like the glue & varnish was running onto my skin and cut me with the filing so I've been really scared to get them done since. I've seen other different people on RUclips do nails and they all could do with going back to nursery school never mind college.. I just need to suck up & get them done. I've actually managed to take a lovely pic of a set of kirstys own nails not one of her designs, I dont think folk round here are that good, lol but a lovely set of ombre with a couple of Crystal's on one finger of each hand. & a simple almond. So everyone keep fingers crossed for me will let ya know how I get on xx
Oh, and i pray i dont get pauletta pickups mr woo or it'll be stick on nails for me for the rest of my life... as for my cuticles I've never had them done so I'll probably be the talk of the road when I leave, lol wish kirsty could do mine, at least we'd have a laugh... aye duck x
I just stumbled across your channel and you are fantastic! This is exactly what I've been looking for! 😍
My god I adore you and your vids!! Learned so much from you, absolutely beautiful nails!
Girl you freaking did that. Looks so good!!❤️❤️❤️
I have extremely thin nails. The build in a bottle js perfect to add strength to my nails.
Love !!!!
these nails are very classy!!! love the shape!!!! :)
I loved these!! Perfect manicure! 💗
Nail queen 👸 I just love you Kirsty !!🥰
The nails look amazing and simple💕
Really enjoyed this tutorial and on natural nails? Wow I want to attempt this.
Lovely😍
Love the silver hair!!!
this left me with so many questions.
1. how does the builder react when the natural nail is very flexible. I did a gel overlay on a customer but her nails were flexible and the gel was hard gel that was very rigid and the result was that she had so much lifting. (and no it wasn't lack of prep, I prepped them within an inch of their life)
2. Out of the products you work with how would you class them when it comes to extensions?
what product is more suitable to which length of nails.
3. I work in gels and if I'm making really long extensions I'm always unsure if gel is the best to go with or if I should try and train with the acrylic, does it really matter as long as the apex is high/solid enough?
From my experiences *disclaimer I am not a licenced nail tech* builder in a bottle has worked well with my nails which are very flexible but I can't go more than about 1/2 inch from where my nail bed ends. For length I usually use acrylic, but I have tried gel and have never liked the results. I know there are techs that can create a long nail that lasts with gel though. Again this is coming from someone thay is not licenced so I could be wrong...
As far as your 3rd question... once acrylic is set and hard gel is cured... they are pretty much the same density.... so as long as your structure is good the long gel extensions should be juuuust as sturdy as the acrylic counterpart. Of course, assuming prep and prime is top notch 🙃🤗
Try it... try putting acrylic on a nail form and do the same with gel and cure... if the thickness of both is the same it (should) have the same strength (of course, variables with product brands and blah blah... but I’m talking general terms, hope you understand what I mean lol)
**disclaimer... I am a licensed nail tech lol... Light Elegance has great education on gel in their series with their very smart chemist... hope that helps 💕
I'm a trainee and I find that if I do gel with more length they don't last.. So I personally prefer acrylic for extended length. I mean half an inch is probably the max I would go to with gel anything more and they will just snap off me as I'm heavy handed.
Not a nail tech either, but Natasha Lee did a video explaining this. Gel in general is more flexible than acrylic. She said if your nails are more brittle, use a flexible medium like gel. If your nails are very bendy and flexible use something stiff like acrylic
Sorry I mean disclaimer I’m not a nail tech either
Wow that’s the type of e-file I need
Lovely great colour as well x
Love it
Thank you this will be so much easier for me
Gorgeous thanks
...............now I want to see them decorated 😂We know you’re not gonna leave them plain Jane!
Beautiful 😍
Love the colour Kirsty!!

Thank you Kirsty. Xx
Your natural nails are really nice 👍🏻
Do you have a video on what drill bits you use when and where you buy them? It’s just that my drill bits kind of suck and I don’t know if it’s because I use them in the wrong way or if the suck on there own 😂😂
Jeanette Olesen I second that request x
I'd love to know which Electric file and bits
Would like to know which drill and bits too please :)
Same I’m desperate to know.
i felt every bit that you done to your nails, especially the cuticle oil, felt so wonderful! one day i will purchase all your products bcuz i got my products from china, i know dont come at me, sally's didnt have what i was looking for

Pink pinapple smells sooooo good!
Lovely tutorial...
Love the natural nails. 💜
Love to get a video of Kirsty’s top ten gel polish colours !
Ohhhhh i like it so realy much😍😍😍
I like short nails with designs for myself. 💅 I just can’t work with long nails O admire the ones who can.
Legit I just repainted my nails that are builder gel over my natural nail 😂 and for anyone who kinda wants an idea, do a lavender with a transparent opalescent over top 🤤🤤
Ooooh, sounds pretty! I just bought a pretty unicorn powder last night that I'm dying to use. Going to do my nails this weekend with polygel. I might use that idea!
@@Nails_By_Kimberlee have you done polygel before? Much messier than I thought, I think I'm going to do builder gel next time... How did it go??
@@missmia196 I find polygel easier than acrylic and I can shape it a little faster.
missmia196 did you try the builder gel? From everything I’ve seen polygel looks much easier to handle since it doesn’t run everywhere but I haven’t tried it myself.
@@madabouthollyoaks411 your right polygel is easier to place and doesn't run. but if you do one finger at time, do a very thin wet layer then sculpt with the builder gel in bottle before curing its not to bad, just don't fuss with it to much.
My favorite color 💅🏻❤️
So this is the length that I have to do all day almost everyday. I'm having thickness issues because everyone wants some sort of encapsulated art but they don't want length. Any videos or suggestions??? Thanks, love you
That's a great question. I wonder about this too. I hope someone can give ideas.
Are you using builder gel, Gloria? If so I would recommend keeping any art as low as possible. So starting with a thin base coat (not building any strength yet), then creating your design, and then going in with clear builder to encapsulate your work. Hopefully that will help you with bulkiness!!
Oh, your natural nails look so thin... But your designs with acrylic are the best🤗
So beautiful art on yr nails which u removed.
I first found builder in a bottle via Born Pretty and could have SWORN they were scamming me because A. They can't label their shit (on-going issue I have with them, I swear I have to re-label have their products just so I know WTF I' looking at) and B. they don't really mention it's usages and how to use it best, so of course, when you try to do something it can't (like length) and it doesn't work, you're side-eyeing it, so I'm glad you mentioned that it cant be used for those things before people dive in.
I see Builder in a Bottle more as a re-enforcement and strength giver, a bit of oompth" for your natural nails. I use it for more hard-working clients when would probably break naturals and don't want the drama of acrylics or true gels. I AM going to look into your line of course when looking to replace my bottles as I want to see if yours are as prone to...tearing as the Asian brands.
(for those wondering, I use Born Pretty and others because they're cheap and because my clients tend to frown at me pulling and a mysterious bag of powders from under my desk. I usually try to avoid markups and buy as close to the warehouse as I can...and most beauty products come from Asia these days. I am not however, exclusive and will stock anything of quality or at request).
That was cute.
