Heya Duck in today's Video I’m going to be doing a nail that Adam has been banging on about for like as long as we have been making videos… an Aquarium Nail, Keep watching x
Okay so I'm going to be doing this one on the Aleana Hand… Aleana is actually the only one of my clients I trust for a nail like this and I'll start by giving her a nail and then I’m going to create her extension tip if you have a tip that is a little bit flatter you probably won’t have to do this I’m using a 1,2,3 go tip from Max Estrada and ill file a smile line fitting into this that will line up with the free edge of the Aleana nail more or less ill reduce the thickness of that tip and then ill stick it on with some nail glue and then ill blend that in with a file.
Now I'll prep a second tip this one has more of a c-curve and this one with be layered over the top of the other one to create a chamber for the liquid so I'll cut off the smile line as we won’t need that section of the nail and then ill thin out the edges of this nail as well.
I’ll clean over my extension with the clean-up solution. Lint-free pad and then I’ll take two of my Jelly Top coats Hugo and Les I’ll paint a very thin layer of the Hugo and then place it into patches of Les to create this Aquatic Colour and I’ll give that a cure.
Now I can position and secure my second tip using some nail glue to start out and when the glue is holding that in place I'll use my acrylic to complete the structure of this nail starting with the free edge and cuticle area using the Strip tease acrylic powder and then ill use glass slipper to seal the edges of that tip and ill give a thin transparent layer over the tip as well.
Now I'll create a cap for the end of my chamber using the glass slipper clear acrylic on a sculpting form and I'll just make a super thin disk with the acrylic and then where that sets up we can measure that mark it with a pencil and just cut out that shape to create the seal with.
Now I'll file my nails into shape ill take them off the Aleana's hand so I don’t damage the hand and ill go through my normal filing routine then can use some canned air to remove any dust from the inside and I'll also clean over the nail with the clean up solution.
Now I'll create a whale to go inside of my Aquarium and to do that I'll pencil out the contour of a whale on the back of a sculpting form and then I'll take my white-out gel polish and my Cassidy detailer brush and paint that initial shape ill then add a couple of layers of the white out to each side curing in-between to add mass to the whale, then ill clean over the whale with a clean up solution on a lint-free pad and then I can peel the whale from the form and paint their markings using the Void Gel Polish and then ill give them a top coat and cure that.
Now I can add some bits and bobs to the chamber and I want some seaweed in there so I'll cut up some pieces of this dryed out leaf that I have I also want to add in some glitter and I have here Holo unicorn ultra by Sparkle Nail Supplies and a couple from Lecente, Pegasus Chunky and Iridescent Blue Skies and ill whack some of them 3 in there then ill pop the little whale in there and some cuticle oil using a syringe and then we can take our cap and glue that into place before using the Glass slipper acrylic to complete that seal and then I can let that set up and file that distal point into a nice shape.
I'll give this one last clean-over with the clean-up solution and then I'll give it the final topcoat to seal everything in and that’s it! I hope you enjoyed the video and I'll catch you in the next one T’Rah Duck!
Lots a Love KM xoxo

Sorry Kirsty but I think you are an individual species 😮 Normal people just don’t have your talent, you are going to have to give up something, it’s not fair that you are beautiful and extremely talented! 😂😂😂😂
She has to take it to an extreme level. Most of the other nail girlies do a great job, but Kirstie blows it out of the water!
I totally agree with you there! She is in a class all her own!
I would definitely wear this. You are so awesome. Great job with your brand. ❤❤
Right and she’s a beautiful soul on the inside too
Denise already done these 6 years ago same style
My God I would be playing with this whale all day like,”Hello little whale, let’s go for a swim..” *moves finger up and down to make whale swim*😂❤🐳
Thanks Adam for convincing her. 😂 Pleaseee do a Halloween aquarium nail set next!! On Faye or Georgia. 🥰
I was so thinking about Faye rocking a set.
Your thought process and then execution are what make you the best in the industry!!!! I’ve hated aquarium nails because of how bulky they are, and how the c-curve is non existent. You have changed the game!!!!! I’ve said it before - I learn so much from you!
I personally would love to see you do a set of Halloween aquarium nails. I believe they would be awesome!
I agree but in Purple and black!🎃👻💀
And make little pumpkins to float around in there
This is seriously the most natural looking tank/aquarium nail I have ever seen!!!! The tank nails tend to be thick and awkward. I have seen manufactured tank/aquarium tips pre-made that look pretty good but this one is beautiful! I am so glad you finally did this!
I've watched Lissette Cruz, whose the aquarium nail queen, do this but she she says no bubbles it actually hinders the flow. Idk either way it was fun watching you create more art.
Do you watch Long Hair Pretty Nails? I'm a big fan of both and Evie has a bunncchh of these nails if you're looking for more. 🙂
Lissette has definitely perfected this!
@quirkyviper I will have to go check her out. I've watched her videos in the past.
Came to the comments to say the same thing, Lissette’s always turn out amazing and everything moves great without the bubble. I also personally think it looks better without the bubble.
@AliciaLynn2 right? I used to think that bubble was essential but now I know it's not
Please do it again 😊. This was an excellent showing of how refined an aquarium nail can be.
My wife has been making aquarium nails since 2013. Her sister loved them. They are tricky though. Even after all these years she still has her moments where they dont turn out on the first try.
this is the best aquarium nail i’ve seen thus far . not thick at all
For the liquid I would suggest using water (preferably distilled) with a drop or two of glycerin mixed in. In the US you can usually order glycerin from a pharmacy/drug store, but you can also find it online. You can also find it at craft stores that have soap making supplies. The glycerin will make it so that the water doesn't evaporate or grow mold and whatnot. Jewelry makers use this concoction for "floating stone" jewelry, where chips of stones are suspended in liquid inside a glass form (often a globe or vial). I hope that helps, and I hope you do more aquarium nails in the future! 🐳🐋🌊
Oh, I would also suggest no bubbles.
I've been waiting for you to do Aquarium nails since Forever! We always want to see you do things because you're THE BEST there is. I've been watching you for Years. So proud of everything you've accomplished. You're gorgeous inside and out!
Thank you for all the hard work and many hours of content. Thank you for teaching us So much! You're amazing!
Please... someone tell me I'm not the only one who winces when she pushes the tip into the artificial thumb. 😱 LOVE YOU Kirsty pretty lady. ❤❤❤
I would love to wear an entire set of these nails made by you. Stunning. Well done you!
Fay's going to want a full set aquarium when she sees this! Great work as always Kirsty and Adam!
I have been taking care of my parents for 2 years. Kirsty, you don't look like yourself, Wow! I remember when you got yiur eyes done. You look nice, just had to keep looking....... You continue to be so talented. Enjoyed watching you again
By far the best aquarium nails I’ve seen! But I agree with Adam. WE NEED A FULL SET ❤
Thank you, Adam, for talking her into doing the aquarium nail. It is awesome. Kirsty, I love watching your recreation of trending nail arts. I hope you do something amazing for a Halloween set of nails? Love watching you work, and you're always making me laugh.
I wasnt expecting the whale to be handmade!!! Omg
I would wear it and tell everybody that Kirsty Meakin proudly made this nail and I love it!
PLEASE PLEASE PLEEEAAASE do more! These are my absolute FAVOURITE nails...except that they are often so very chunky...which is the same issue you mentioned about them. If there is a nail tech who can figure out a way to fix that issue...it's you!
That is the best aquarium nail EVER MADE. I’d be honoured to wear this nail. It’s so slim it really is wearable ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS KIRST🩵🤍💙🩵💙🤍🩵💙🤍
I love the guy in the background of your videos lol he’s always asking the questions I would ask
This is by far the best looking aquarium nail I've seen. Hat off!
I’m so happy you made an aquarium nail!! I hope you decide to make more in the future. ❤
OMG YAY!!!! I WAS WONDERING IF KIRSTY WOULD EVER TRY THIS TREND!! LOVE IT❤❤❤❤❤
OMG that really is amazing, I've watched a few aquarium nails and yours is by far above par ❤ as much hassle as it is I really would like you to do another.😊 you truly are an artist ❤❤❤
Love you videos Kristy! I bet it’s already a “thing” but the whole time I was watching “whale nail”, I was thinking “snow globe” “shaker” nails! So much you could do with the hollowed out chamber! But the whale was the most unique idea.
Your version is so much better looking than the ones I have seen. Plain mineral oil and a dab of water, water in first to take care of bubbles. That will get you the motion you want. The water and oil don't mix, gives a better visual of moving water.
Yours is by far the prettiest I've seen!! Next let's see the hidden door nail.
🎉That nail is almost as stunning as you. You've brought joy back to me. Thank you goodness 💓
I would def wear one or two, I do think the aquarium nails are better as accent nails rather than a full set. Every single one that lissette creates I’d wear, of course those are hard gel nails and she’s got her thing down. This is the first one I’ve seen done in acrylic, and it’s really pretty! It’s a perfect nail. You would have to have two though to complete a set of under the sea nails. There, no full set..just two. 😂😂
I was hoping to see this on Faye. 😊 I'm happy to see how you would do it. Your version looks easier than how Ive seen others creat it.
I’m guessing Faye is a kept woman, if you will, but I doubt even she has the time it would take to sit for 10 aquarium nail. I bet she is there for 4-5 hours for her long nails as it is.
That little killer whale made me happy on so many levels!
Kirsty I would wear this type of nail. Your take on this nail design is very elegant. Some that I've seen although very pretty have looked like house bricks on the end of the finger. Your design if superb! ❤
You finally gave in to the aquarium nail. I've seen so many different ways to doing them. Love killer whales. This nail is right up my alley. 🥰 Thanks for sharing. 💙💙💙🤗
I’d wear a nail stuffed with hessian and painted brown as long as it was done by you!!
beautiful whale swimming onto the wonderful world of art where talent exist
Wow! Thoroughly impressed! I think you made the Aquarium nail as refined as possible! I would love to see you try a different method which makes the tip thinner by filling the chamber toward the apex and then covering that with acrylic.
I just wanna say THANK YOU for taking the time to do this type of nail & putting "your" touches to it, I think they came out lovely. Your idea of how you made the chamber was IMO better than most people, I don't like the bulk either. For not wanting to, you did a great job & seemed like you enjoyed yourself I mean unless you were just putting us on! LOL I'm sure there's going to be a few ladies wanting you to do this style now but hold your ground girl keep saying "NO" LMAO
That’s amazing! I really like it, how fun it would be to wear it. Try to ignore the critics, they’re not worth your time. Thank you for creating such fun videos to watch. Take good care.
This version of doing this nail was absolutely more informative and looks way easier than all the others I've seen.... But when you were filing the tip, I was screaming that's enough, that's enough it's going to come out, stop!!!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣 The only reason I haven't tried these yet is because I don't want them to look bulky.... I want to do these so bad but I'm so extremely nervous about making them.... Apparently, you can buy them now already premade.... I've seen some use straight baby oil also.... But I absolutely love these....
You are a rare find kirsty, there's just no end to your talents, I'm lost for words each time I'd definitely wear this I'd have other themes on each finger for example crocodiles or rhino's in water or lions drinking water with crocs underneath but I love your vids this is incredible your artistry at its finest.
I just knew you was going to do something great with this technique. Like long hair pretty nails
I missed you and your presence on your channel you are one of a kind
It is the prettiest aquarium nail I have.
Yes I’d wear it. I’m a diver and it would make a great conversation piece after a dive with my scuba buddies in the bar 😊
Holy 💩!! 1 hour for 1 freaking nail??? 😲😲 Now do 9 more Kristy!!! 🤣🤣 Screw that!! That would be a 1 accent nail and 9 plain other nails for a whole set!! Lol You did way better on your first try then i seen other ppl do their first try! You actually did really really good!!! It thurned out great!! Thanks for sharing love!! 😘😘
Best aquarium nail ever Done!
Lady you're a great artist! I wish life would give me the chance to have my nails done by you one day!
That's the best aquarium nail I have ever seen!
It is truly a long process, although the result is wonderful. I love your designs!! #Nail #aquarium #tutorial
I would totally wear that nail, it's way less bulky than the other ones!
This is the best aquarium nail I've seen! I feel like you can have only 1 or 2 tiny items though if you want to see them move around.
Finally, an aquarium nail I would love to wear. It looks like a nail and not a box. With thinner oil it would be perfect!
Thank you Kirsty for this awesome work! Thank you Adam for making Kirsty doing this! 💖 The little whale is so cute! Next time with thinner oil and smaller whale it will be perrrrrfect! 🐋
A select few out there, Lissette Cruz & Nails by Tim to name just 2, have worked all the hard work out of this design now. They’re not like they used to be. Lissette, for instance, does them almost weekly ha ha ha. She has really honed her talent for these. Give her a look see. Love ya Kirsty 🇦🇺❤️
thanks kirsty for being a good sport! the end result is really nice!
You are so talented. It looks so adorable for being the first time u make a nail like this. I would so wear this.
I am amazed that you made this nail so beautifully for your first time. You are so talented! I have been watching you for years, and I was so proud when you when you broke out to work on your own and started your own product line. Keep winning Darling!
Yes! WE DO LOVE WATCHING KIRSTY EXPERIMENT AND WATCHING HER TAKE ON THINGS AS ADAM SAID!! THE ORCA ADDITION WAS BRILLIANT I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!
Hi Kirsty and Adam, you may want to use baby oil instead as it's the right viscosity for Aquarium nails, more bubbles and too much chunky glitter and bits equals less to no movement. You were right to say less is more small glitter with only a few chunky bits guuuud as it doesnt clump. Will look out for your next set in 5 years time lol xx
Kirsty, you da boss! First time I would actually consider wearing an aquarium nail or two. ❤❤
I love how proud you feel of your work it makes me smile,you're a star👌you nailed that aquarium so thin and neat I'd wear it💃
OMG!!! Kristy you are soooo very TALENTED !!! Thank you so much fir showing this to us !! Love you ❤❤❤❤❤ & your channel !!
It turned out beautifully, well done. I'd be pulling my hair out half way through making it. 😊
If I did this it would be a total disaster, but you made it look so good.
You have outdone everyone on RUclips who has done aquamarine nails. I don't mean that in a mean way. You always think things fully and try to make them look good. You're a artist.
That is absolutely amazing! Pure talent & very artistic!
Honestly just amazing 🤩 🐳
I would absolutely wear this nail. ❤
Id definitely wear a set of these! I Iove snow globes. It’s a visual fidget toy 💕💕💕💕
The best aquarium nail that i have seen 😍 and if i wore acrylic i would totally wants them!!!
Yes full set practice makes perfect and you are already so good at it so yes full set
It would look pretty with starfishies dolphins and turtles x the killer whale was very creative though
That is actually gorgeous
That brush though 😍😍😍
Well executed beautiful ❤ wat a shame about the movement still amazing thou best natural looking design ive seen xx amazing job as always. Well done adam for persuading her to show us the best way to do it xxx
OMG that tiny whale 🐋 I love it 😻 I’ve done aquarium nails before but with the over nail at the bottom and I’ve only used gel polish, gel glue and builder gel. I’m gonna try doing it like this with acrylic next time. Thank you for the great idea/technic ❤
Kristy, just another little shark fact for you. They aren't only in salt/ocean water. There are fresh water sharks, too.
Maybe some pixie crystals to help things move around? Something heavier like that? Plus the thinner oil. It is a wearable nail and the whale is unique AF!!
I would wear that nail for sure. Great job!
Doing aquarium nails are quite challenging. I use gel when doing mine and prefer to do longer tanks for the flow
For your first time you did amazing! Pat yourself on the back!
Perfect nails for a trip to seaworld!
Leave it to Kristy to not know how to do a technique and still do it better than most! ❤ No shade to anyone else that does aquarium nails, but I’ve never seen it done with acrylic in this way and this nail actually looks natural and not bulky like so many others I’ve seen.
Lissette’s hard gel/bling gel technique looked the most natural to me but hard gel isn’t everyone’s jam. This is so incredibly natural looking. ❤
I’d love to see Kristy perfect this technique.
I loveee it❤❤ its one of the designs I would smoke a good joint and figured out when I started. I got it down to a science now. I loveee them. Yesss, I wear them and also make them as press on sets 👏👏 So much fun!
Three tricks I found. Baby oil is the best as its thin. Soap dye is awesome for lava lamp nail inside with the oil and having heavy little glitter or glow pieces help move all other contents around inside your little tank❤❤❤ So awesome. The whale is so damn cute
For your first time that is incredible
Yes I would wear it. I love sporting different things.
You ask if people would wear this? Oh my gosh, I would be honored to wear anything you create. You are such an amazing artist.❤️☮️
I have watched a lot of aquarium nail videos but this is the best design yet. It looks so smooth and not bulky on top. Great job especially since you didn't want to do it.
I think you went above and beyond what everyone else does for their versions of aquarium nails. You are awesome and I love watching your videos. Peace and love to you and your family 💜💙💜💙
Omg!!! Aquarium nail you have patience haha ❤❤
You should attempt a lava lamp nail💕 I think you did amazing btw. I love this!
It looks like a shark sharks have thinner looking bodies. But it's a great looking shark. I like your hair. And the nail aquarium looked awesome
I absolutely love these sort of videos, such fun and well done Kirsty for giving it a go 🎉🎉🎉🎉❤
Kirsty, you did great for your first time!! i would deftly wear that. It's beautiful! 😍💅🏻
That is hands down the thinest aquarium nail I have ever seen. I love ❤️ it but there is no way I could wear it. If my gel/ acrylic overlay is too thick I’m filing it off same day 😂
Thank you for doing this, Kirsty! You are by far the best nail artist and I appreciate how much time this took!
Your great eye for detail and precision is amazing.made wearable ,great job
🦈🦈🦈🦈 Don't blame me, I never asked you to do this 😅😅😅 It did come out cute though! I feel like these are the kind of nails that are cute to look at but not practical to wear really. I know some people do wear them but I don't think I ever would. Getting my nails thin as possible has been something I've really been working on the last year or so and I know this would drive me crazy 😅
You have to watch Evie from "long hair pretty nails" she does these all the time. She's a pro at it!!
