Sitting in my classroom (Nail School) watching your tutorial... 🤔 My teacher is sitting right across from me 🙄 Shame I paid $4000 to be in school for nails and I have to learn from Naio Nails in the UK on RUclips! Anyways thank you so much for helping!!!
LadyALCO this is exactly how I feel. Except I'm full cosmetology. But we learn nails as well but I'm basically teaching myself (we'll have RUclips teach me)
The purpose of school is just to help you pass the test to get your license. Kinda like driving school. Their main priority is to show you the basics and sanitation, but you will learn mostly by trial, error, and experience. I've had my license for 3 years now and I love watching these edicational video and I actually had a GREAT instructor! Good luck ladies!
I've watched a few acrylic tutorials now and all of them say "pick up a nice sized bead". This means nothing to someone trying to learn. Thank you so much for taking the time to not just explain what to do, but HOW to do it. A little bit of theory and technique go a long way.
I feel like I should have paid to watch this! What a perfect beginners tutorial! Thank you for sharing your wealth of knowledge and pristine technique with us ❤️
crucial information. some nail techs don't like DIY'ers bringing down the industry with shoddy work, not knowing the health and safety, stealing trade from those who have worked hard to qualify. I love that you help educate us so at least we're doing our own properly. you're video's have been very valuable to me. I've been doing my nails for 6 month's now. After my miscarriage my beautiful pregnancy nails disappeared, causing another reminder of my grief of looseing my little girl. so I decided to do something about it. now when I look at my nails, I see achievement, pride, creativity, a sense of purpose, a outlet, a hobby, a possible profession. it's helped me recover somewhat. you have helped aid that process. THANK YOU.
Karla Norris I agree. I'm also dealing with depression, chronic illness and this is a great way of moving away from negative thoughts and focus on something more enjoyable! I'm only just learning but love this channel! X
First of all, so sorry about your baby. Been there, It hurts! On to the topic of nails. If you can do your own in a safe, sanitary way-go for it. Please don't do anyone else's unless trained. It's really not about how they look. It's about safety and sanitation, honestly. That being said, if you enjoy it and feel you are talented, then by all means get training and make it your profession. We need talented people in the industry. You will gain a sense of pride in your profession and meet a lot of wonderful ladies. There are student loan programs . Don't be afraid. Go for it. A career and sense of purpose can really help in regaining yourself. I am opening a nail salon in the Phoenix, AZ area. USA. If you are interested, I will hire you right out of school and train you further. If you are not in my area, I'm sure others will give you an opportunity. Best of luck to you!
That's the exact same reason I do nails now too. 😔 it sucks that we can't have our angels here with us while we enjoy this hobby. It's been a year but feels like last week.
Ok, I need to tell you this. I just did my own nails for the second time ever. I watched some other tutorials before i did it for the first time. Result: 4 brushes messed up, big lumps on my nails, needed almost an hour to file them all down to something halfway decent. flooded cuticles, some already lifted the same day. Cut myself twice while filing. Watched this yesterday. Pretty proud of my nails now. Not perfect, but pretty good for the second time. Brush still OK. No cuts, decent cuticles, filing done in minutes. Thank you so much! Seriously, thank you!
This is the first video I watched after frantically trying to figure out how to do my own acrylics. This video didn't just show me how to do it, it showed me what I was doing wrong. Small details I kept over looking and after watching why my brush kept going crazy on me and why I was not seeing the smoother application all the videos showed me....I FINALLY GOT IT. Instantly loved this channel after watching! THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH
Thank you for this very informative video. I been a licensed nail tech for 36 years and have been to numerous acrylic classes. This is the first time I have been shown the angle of brush for bead size, why patting into powder is wrong, and the importance of wiping off brush. Just goes to show you CAN teach an old dog new tricks. Your video explained to me more indept than any 8 hour class ever did. Now I need a speed class, lol.
We didn't have any kind of instruction 30 something years ago, we just had to middle our way through and the brushes were crap in all honesty. Kirsty if we had access to instructors that were like you it would have been a huge game changer for careers. I'm 50something and I'm shocked at how much I didn't know, your a great instructor thank you.
I'm a nail tech and I was never taught how to pick up a bead accurately I've been so frustrated because I know it's not right because I go through so many brushes too. Thank you for doing this I really appreciate it.
You are such a blessing!! I've been a tech for 8 years and I've yet to see a video that explains this process as detailed as you. I have a few bad habits you knocked out with video lol! Thank you so much!
I really felt like i was on a 1 on 1 lesson with you, that’s how well you explained this whole process.. At 6:30 when you asked if I wanted to see you make the bead again, my high ass nodded YESSSS 🤦🏻♀️
watched this and did my first set ever...they came out perfect! I even managed to encapsulate chunky glitter. I love this woman and this channel. never leaving lol
You know I just had this hilarious idea. You should have the camera man try your basics and see if he can do the perfect bead. That would be fun to see haha!!
I want to go to nail school but I hear so much about how nail schools are not teaching properly and hate the fact of paying big bucks and not being taught the right way. I have even gone to different nail spas and noticed that they always have the same problems you talk about in this video, of course, I did not know any better I thought it was normal. But I have been in so much interest to learn. I had a recent surgery and I am unable to do much these days so I came across your ideos, I have watched them and are GREAT! Thank you for that. I am hoping to learn the basics and sit around with mainly friends to get more experience (not as a profession, but just to socialize and spend time with friends. I clicked subscribed as I am eager to learn more while recuperating. You do such a great job and the explanation is so detail and thorough. Thank you so much!
I need to try this! I tried acrylics for the first time today in class and it was a nightmare I was embarrassed and my teacher embarrassed me in front of the client I wish I got taught better but thank God you explained it more throughly I paid the school and learn more from you lol Thank you for the skills and techniques you show ❤️
I have seen others tutorials and no one have explain like you do . you make my day!! it realy help me to get rid of my bad habits,tanks so much. love from MEXICO!!
Quarantine has been rough but I refuse to let my nails go...but I've been struggling. RUclips can safe the day! You can learn how to build a '57 Chevy engine on here! I can certainly learn how to do my nails! It wasn't that easy until I found you and this video. OMG! This answered ALL my questions and explained EVERYTHING I was doing wrong! I will be watchung ALL your videos and I now feel confident that with you, I can do this! I can't thank you enough!!! Stay safe and healthy!❤
Thank you for posting. I've been doing my own nails for years now, because there are no "skilled, trained and professional nail technicians near me, dip nails are not nails to me. So, once again I've learned something. Thank You from Texas.
oh my god i wish i saw this video ages ago. i love doing my nails or just messing around on tips and i've practiced acrylic sooo many times and just could not do it. you are the best teacher ever.
I LOVE THIS VIDEO, I always get acrylic in my brush and didn't understand why and I've never seen a video that got as specific as this. Thank you Kirsty
I’m trying to learn this at home since nail school is expensive 😣.. I’ve been watching so many videos about bead ratio & I was still confused. Until I came across your video and WOW! 😮 I’m learning a lot!! The other videos didn’t even talk about how acrylic shouldn’t mix in with the monomer. Plus your voice is so soothing & its almost like ASMR ☺️
Wow this just confirmed how much I want to do nails...even watching my nail techs..they have that problem lol...it was very informative and easily understood...you just made my day as i was contemplating whether or not I want to become a nail technician...it was fun too..and your backdrop is amazing to look at...you won a new subscriber all the way in the Bahamas 🇧🇸🇧🇸🇧🇸
I watched this video about a week ago because i had major questions about what i was doing wrong. I'm completely self taught, so i assumed that was why. This was so helpful. Ive had acrylics for years and i used to go to a salon, but due to some health issues i lost my job and had to start dling my own again. This video is wonderful. I was confused at first, but applying what was taught was easy for me. My nails look better than i have ever done them before. Thank you so much for this video!
Can I just say - You are THE BEST tutorial on RUclips! Honestly you have helped me so much and your down to earth no rubbish approach is so great! Others voices and stuffing around is so annoying but your accent and showing things properly on camera is great! I know this vid is 3yrs old but my gosh your channel is my go to! Thanks for being so cool and chill! from this Aussie
Wow I went to nail school for no reason. I have been doing nails for a few years and always wondered what I was doing incorrectly and I cannot thank you enough for providing us with incredible content, you are a such a talented & lovely woman. ♥️
I truly appreciate the videos you do showing how you do what you do. I do not do nails professionally, but I do my own nails, and I am always looking for something new to do. I don't use much acrylic. But thanks to you, I want to try. I got started doing my nails because I wanted my natural nail to grow. I got gel polish & UV light and it helped to firm them up enough to grow on their own. I absolutely love my nails now, and I do new designs almost every 1-2 weeks. I love you designs and I am no where near as talented as you, but I have been able to use some of the techniques to get the desired look I wanted. Thank you for you time and effort and sharing what you do with all of us.
FINALLY!! I've watched several videos of how to do acrylic nails and you're the first who explained why you wet and wipe the brush again when you brush the acrylic. Thank you for explaining everything, you are awesome!!
Absolutely love the way you explain and repeat every aspect of every step! Now I know what I've been doing wrong for the last 2 years. Thank you so much, you rock 😘
Honestly love this video. I got so tired of paying people for doing shitty nails when I could have done my own shitty nails 😂😂 but my first time came out good and so did my other sets and it just takes a couple hours of my day but I don't do anything on my day off anyway! 😂
Omgggg I’ve just started doing acrylics 3 days ago and I keep getting a sticky brush and beads that won’t release freely AND NOW I KNOW WHY!! Thank you almighty Kirsty, I owe you my sanity. And my brush owes you it’s life
fantastic tutorial, Kirsty! the detailed explanations along with each technique demonstration really is EXACTLY the net best thing to learning in person. I think it is very important to understand not just how to mechanically do something, but also why the technique works. the additional demonstration of the most common error(s) and why they create compounded problems is also helpful. thank you, Naio & Kirsty for this helpful and educational tutorial!
This is the absolute most helpful acrylic application tutorial I've seen. I recently started doing my own nails and this is the only youtube video (out of the hundred or more that i've watched) that gives details about bead size and wetness.
Thank you so much you’re amazing. I’m starting my own home nail business and I’m learning a lot from your videos! You’ve got such a nurturing voice it really helps me absorb the information. ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you for going into proper detail instead of just saying “this is a wet bead, this is a dry bead, this is a good bead. Okay you know all about beads now” like most tutorials. I did my own acrylic nails for the first time and wow it was hard lol
Thank you so much. I'm just learning, self-taught through youtube (only on myself you'll be relieved to hear). You have just answered every question about where I'm going wrong. They look alright in the end but it takes me about an hour and a half on average and then loads of filing. I am currently going through a new brush every application and soooooo much monomer. This will save me so much money. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you
Very educational. I'm a nail esetitcian and I sure wasent taught like this. Thank you for taking the time out to make a video like this!! Love ya girl!! Keep it glossy! ;)
i m learning on my own how to make acrylic nails or with videos cause i think i can do this, BUT i watched many greek videos (as i am Greek) and in english and all of them were just the same ! THIS VIDEO helped me more that anything to understand how i can do this with a right way!! This is the only video that guide you about all sizes and things not to do! I was always watching without talk, everytime a nail artist applying me acrylic , and i was there for hours HOURS trying to understand why she was trying so hard for each nail! i tried to do it on my own after your video and i did it in a good way and quicker ! i am not a pro and i have never watched any seminar! i have seen only some videos in youtube and i am just observant and i like this art! So THANK YOU really!!!! You are a professional !
Oh I am so excited for this video! I was only taught gel in school but I trying to teach my acrylic. Thanks Kirsty!!! ps I got some microfiber glitter and netting from Naio Nails and I can't wait to play with it with different designs!!!!
Very helpful. I learnt things just watching your video that I was never explained in my course 6 years ago. So for 6 years I was doing everything you said NOT todo. Thanks so much for your amazing videos they have helped me grown in my nail career. Your my nail inspiration xx
Adore my nails so decided during lockdown I would try to teach myself how to do them. THANK YOU !!!!! I have watched so many videos and this is by far the best - it’s like a one to one lesson. Also I am a school teacher and I have to say from my experience ur a natural born teacher - your detail, approach and instructions are so clear and concise. Thanks so much
I absolutely luv u and wat u do. And u r the only one who shows us exactly how to do this step by step and i (not sure about everyone else) learned how to do liquid/powder ratio perfectly because of u and the way u taught it in this video. I’ve watched other videos and still couldn’t get it. They either went to fast or they skipped a few steps. U t awesome!!! My fav nail tech by far!!!
Been looking at videos the last couple of days since getting my kit since I wanted to do it right before just jumping in-this is by FAR the best educational no bullshit video I've have found. Thanks so much.
I've been thinking of being a Nail Tech, and therefore, looking for tutorials on basics. I've been looking for a while for the right tips, but I just couldn't find that perfect video, and now, all thanks to you, I found just the perfect tutorial for acrylics. I'm soooo soooo glad I found your video and I hope that I can be a nail tech when I grow up because of your tips. Thank you soooooooooo much!!!!!!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I recently fell down a rabbit hole of nail art and nail application. I'm a terrible nail chewer. Since quitting smoking it has gotten worse, so I've been wanting to get acrylic nails. Your channel has shown me enough I have the confidence to save myself some money and do it myself. Wish me luck! LOL
That was fantastic! Best tutorial I have ever seen. So informative and thorough. You are a wonderful teacher/nail artist. Thank you thank you! I am now a complete fan :)
This is the BEST tutorial I've seen on liquid-to-powder ratio...I wish I could hug you!!! This answered all my questions AND let me know exactly what I've been doing wrong...you're amazing, thank you so much!!!
I LOVE LOVE LOVE! Your teaching method. You are currently my teacher, while I figure out my work/school schedule. You are definitely a jewel on YT. Thank you so much. I can't wait until I have the skills you do.
So I’m self taught and just do nails for people I know and u by far are the best teacher. I am proud I actually never dug my brush into the powder that way, I just knew it was supposed to be a bead....but you made me see my 1st mistake in flooding the bead once it’s on the nail! 😮 I’d watch videos and no one ever mentioned it and I was always wondering why I couldn’t control my bead and why my brush would get the acrylic on it like yours at the end! So thank you so much for teaching me this :) I also taught myself bc here in America it’s hard to find a shop where they clean their equipment and I didn’t want my sister going in and getting a fungus and them destroying her nails...I’m very easy on the nail beds I don’t like to file them much and always clean off everything
This is so much better than going to school to learn it .. they never explain it as good as she does .. and so well step by step .. thank you so much for sharing your knowledge on how to do nails ...this was great
Getting ready for my State Board Practical test in Kentucky, USA and watching your video. I have learned so much about acrylics with you. You are awesome!!!
I tried to use that builder gel last night (the night before a job interview), and I was up all night trying to brush the gel onto my natural/tip nails, and tried to cure the gel in a LED/UV 46 gel lamp (thinking that would cure anything fast). Well the builder gel never did cure properly after 2 minutes and remain tacky. So I used a lint-free wipe with gel brush cleaner and applied to my nails to get the junk off them, and the darn lint-free wipe stuck to my nails, and my monomer was a clumpy cloudy mess. My fingers were all sticky feeling and the darn lint-free wipes stuck to my fingers too. What a complete disaster!!! I finally got the builder gel off by rolling it off my nails lol to wind up with extremely sticky fingers again. After finally getting the crap of my fingers again, my well filed and shaped french nails that took me all night to do that I was so proud of, I finally decided my safe bet would be to use the base gel and 'no-wipe top gel' that brought a smile to my face with a pretty fake gem on the ring fingers to top it all off. I learned my lesson the hard way LOL.
I’m learning how to do nails just to save myself money, you by far have taught me so much more than anyone else I’ve watched on RUclips! Thank you so much!!!!
Omg this was so helpful I always had residue on my brush while doing acrylic nails but I thought it was normal or something but it stopped me from forming a perfect nail this helps a lot I love your videos 😩💗
Omg Kirsrty, THANK YOU for this video!!!! You have no idea how many times I’ve had this explained to me but I didn’t get it until I listened and watched you demonstrate. GIRL!!! You just don’t know what you just did for me! I practiced my acrylic application with what I learned from this video and BOOM!!! Im like a thousand times better now! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!😘
Thank you so much for explaining this . I have been having a hard time and my teacher has not explained or taught us. Wish you could come down to Kansas to give a class!
I love my instructor, she's so patient and knowledgable (and she loves your vids!) but she didn't really go over these basics and I wish she had. I'm 1/3rd of the way done with my program and I'm just now watching this video and realizing what I'm doing incorrectly with the bead to monomer ratio and also the proper way to pick up a bead. I hope I can unlearn what I have learnt so far so I can do it the proper way! Thank you for this video!
i went to cos school a few years ago and wanted to brush up on some knowledge before i do my own nails. ur great & this was weirdly relaxing to watch before bed lmfao
I just learned more in this video then I did in school! I was having every problem you talked about and was getting really discouraged thinking maybe this wasn’t something I wanted to do. Because nothing was turning out right. Was spending so much time having to files and shape nail after the acrylic was laid because it was so messy. I love your channel!!!
I LOVE all your video ....but this ONE IS THE BEST I HAVE EVER SEEN >>>> i love you so much you answered all my unsolved issues with my guming brush .... i am just wishing i could have seen this YEARS AGO when it came out ... i really wish you had a playlist will all the good ones like this ... thank you so much .... awesome ... better than what i learn in school ...!!!
This is exactly what went throught my mind, when you have played around and really know your art you know exactly what your doing, and this girl is awesome so glad I stumbled on her channel.
This is a great video for a visual learner like myself. Especially when you showed the distance in dragging of the brush into the acrylic. Thank you so much & many blessings.
You, miss... Are THE goddess of gorgeous nails!!! I am so glad that I stumbled onto your videos. I've spent a very l long time tattooing, but you've inspired me to get my nail tech license. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! There's motivation back in my life!!!!
😩😩 Where have you been all my life?!! Literally the best nail tutorial I have ever watched. So detailed, I love that you showed examples from every angle. RUclips University for the Win with Professor Naio Nails!
My mates been watching some ov these youtube tutorials with me, as im trying to teach myself partly as a hobbie(i love anything hair n beauty related) and partly to keep my stressed out self n mind from falling apart by keeping it ocupied.

Hands down the absolute best tutorial for nails I have seen. Love it. Ty so so much.
I LOVE THIS VIDEO, I always get acrylic in my brush and didn't understand why and I've never seen a video that got as specific as this. Thank you Kirsty
I’m trying to learn this at home since nail school is expensive 😣.. I’ve been watching so many videos about bead ratio & I was still confused. Until I came across your video and WOW! 😮 I’m learning a lot!! The other videos didn’t even talk about how acrylic shouldn’t mix in with the monomer.
Plus your voice is so soothing & its almost like ASMR ☺️
Thank you very much for your lovely feedbacj Envylj! 😊💞
Wow this just confirmed how much I want to do nails...even watching my nail techs..they have that problem lol...it was very informative and easily understood...you just made my day as i was contemplating whether or not I want to become a nail technician...it was fun too..and your backdrop is amazing to look at...you won a new subscriber all the way in the Bahamas 🇧🇸🇧🇸🇧🇸
I watched this video about a week ago because i had major questions about what i was doing wrong. I'm completely self taught, so i assumed that was why. This was so helpful. Ive had acrylics for years and i used to go to a salon, but due to some health issues i lost my job and had to start dling my own again. This video is wonderful. I was confused at first, but applying what was taught was easy for me. My nails look better than i have ever done them before. Thank you so much for this video!
I absolutely love how she explained everything, especially the clock analogy. This is my first video of this channel. Definitely will be subscribing
The best ‘ratio’ educational I’ve seen. Thanks!!!
Let me tell u something. Girl u snatched my life when I found your channel lol my products come today cant wait to try what ive been watching!!!
Can I just say - You are THE BEST tutorial on RUclips! Honestly you have helped me so much and your down to earth no rubbish approach is so great! Others voices and stuffing around is so annoying but your accent and showing things properly on camera is great! I know this vid is 3yrs old but my gosh your channel is my go to! Thanks for being so cool and chill! from this Aussie
Wow I went to nail school for no reason. I have been doing nails for a few years and always wondered what I was doing incorrectly and I cannot thank you enough for providing us with incredible content, you are a such a talented & lovely woman.
♥️
I truly appreciate the videos you do showing how you do what you do. I do not do nails professionally, but I do my own nails, and I am always looking for something new to do. I don't use much acrylic. But thanks to you, I want to try. I got started doing my nails because I wanted my natural nail to grow. I got gel polish & UV light and it helped to firm them up enough to grow on their own. I absolutely love my nails now, and I do new designs almost every 1-2 weeks.
I love you designs and I am no where near as talented as you, but I have been able to use some of the techniques to get the desired look I wanted.
Thank you for you time and effort and sharing what you do with all of us.
I’m trying to start doing nails on my own and this really helped !
FINALLY!! I've watched several videos of how to do acrylic nails and you're the first who explained why you wet and wipe the brush again when you brush the acrylic. Thank you for explaining everything, you are awesome!!
I feel like she looks like an older version of dove Cameron lol

Siya if Cindy Lauper it’s younger 😉
It’s a mix of dove Cameron and Cindy lauper
Absolutely love the way you explain and repeat every aspect of every step! Now I know what I've been doing wrong for the last 2 years. Thank you so much, you rock 😘
Honestly love this video. I got so tired of paying people for doing shitty nails when I could have done my own shitty nails 😂😂 but my first time came out good and so did my other sets and it just takes a couple hours of my day but I don't do anything on my day off anyway! 😂
Ikr
Eye brow
EXACTLY. I put down my $60 and think, "WTF. I coulda glued on tips and brushed acrylic over top." NO APEX, EVEN. GEEZ.
Rightttt. Just spent 55 on amazon getting allllll my supplies. Already made my money back 😂
@@louandlilly just did the same😁
Omgggg I’ve just started doing acrylics 3 days ago and I keep getting a sticky brush and beads that won’t release freely AND NOW I KNOW WHY!! Thank you almighty Kirsty, I owe you my sanity. And my brush owes you it’s life
fantastic tutorial, Kirsty! the detailed explanations along with each technique demonstration really is EXACTLY the net best thing to learning in person. I think it is very important to understand not just how to mechanically do something, but also why the technique works. the additional demonstration of the most common error(s) and why they create compounded problems is also helpful. thank you, Naio & Kirsty for this helpful and educational tutorial!
i am a student learning to do nails and i feel like quitting and watch your videos. youre such a good teacher
I'm learning for my daughter and I and finally found a video that REALLY EXPLAINS IT. Thank you so much. I don't know you but I love you 🤣🤣
jillian hudgens same! 😍🤩
This is the absolute most helpful acrylic application tutorial I've seen. I recently started doing my own nails and this is the only youtube video (out of the hundred or more that i've watched) that gives details about bead size and wetness.
Thank you so much you’re amazing. I’m starting my own home nail business and I’m learning a lot from your videos! You’ve got such a nurturing voice it really helps me absorb the information. ❤️❤️❤️
That is fab! And we are happy you are finding our videos useful ❤❤❤❤❤ Good luck with everything! :)
THANK YOU!! You are the first that I've found to explain, in-depth, HOW to achieve different beads and the purpose of each.
Thank you for going into proper detail instead of just saying “this is a wet bead, this is a dry bead, this is a good bead. Okay you know all about beads now” like most tutorials. I did my own acrylic nails for the first time and wow it was hard lol
Thank you so much. I'm just learning, self-taught through youtube (only on myself you'll be relieved to hear). You have just answered every question about where I'm going wrong. They look alright in the end but it takes me about an hour and a half on average and then loads of filing. I am currently going through a new brush every application and soooooo much monomer. This will save me so much money. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you
Very educational. I'm a nail esetitcian and I sure wasent taught like this. Thank you for taking the time out to make a video like this!! Love ya girl!! Keep it glossy! ;)
i m learning on my own how to make acrylic nails or with videos cause i think i can do this, BUT i watched many greek videos (as i am Greek) and in english and all of them were just the same ! THIS VIDEO helped me more that anything to understand how i can do this with a right way!! This is the only video that guide you about all sizes and things not to do! I was always watching without talk, everytime a nail artist applying me acrylic , and i was there for hours HOURS trying to understand why she was trying so hard for each nail! i tried to do it on my own after your video and i did it in a good way and quicker ! i am not a pro and i have never watched any seminar! i have seen only some videos in youtube and i am just observant and i like this art! So THANK YOU really!!!! You are a professional !
I can’t express enough how helpful this was!!
MOC DÍKY!!!!Konečně někdo,kdo to perfektně vyvětlil a detailně ukázal,moc mi to pomohlo.
Oh I am so excited for this video! I was only taught gel in school but I trying to teach my acrylic. Thanks Kirsty!!! ps I got some microfiber glitter and netting from Naio Nails and I can't wait to play with it with different designs!!!!
Kelsey Morine-Reid how can i get this online
Very helpful.
I learnt things just watching your video that I was never explained in my course 6 years ago. So for 6 years I was doing everything you said NOT todo.
Thanks so much for your amazing videos they have helped me grown in my nail career.
Your my nail inspiration xx
I always have ended up with a bunch of powder in my monomer! I'm so glad you made this video! Nice to learn tips for basic application! ! ty ty ty
Adore my nails so decided during lockdown I would try to teach myself how to do them. THANK YOU !!!!! I have watched so many videos and this is by far the best - it’s like a one to one lesson. Also I am a school teacher and I have to say from my experience ur a natural born teacher - your detail, approach and instructions are so clear and concise. Thanks so much
thank you so much for this kirsty, bead consistency is still something I struggle with so I'm definitely going to try all the things in your video :)
I absolutely luv u and wat u do. And u r the only one who shows us exactly how to do this step by step and i (not sure about everyone else) learned how to do liquid/powder ratio perfectly because of u and the way u taught it in this video. I’ve watched other videos and still couldn’t get it. They either went to fast or they skipped a few steps. U t awesome!!! My fav nail tech by far!!!
This video is so good, you explain everything perfectly!! thank you xx
Been looking at videos the last couple of days since getting my kit since I wanted to do it right before just jumping in-this is by FAR the best educational no bullshit video I've have found. Thanks so much.
I've been thinking of being a Nail Tech, and therefore, looking for tutorials on basics. I've been looking for a while for the right tips, but I just couldn't find that perfect video, and now, all thanks to you, I found just the perfect tutorial for acrylics. I'm soooo soooo glad I found your video and I hope that I can be a nail tech when I grow up because of your tips. Thank you soooooooooo much!!!!!!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I recently fell down a rabbit hole of nail art and nail application.
I'm a terrible nail chewer.
Since quitting smoking it has gotten worse, so I've been wanting to get acrylic nails.
Your channel has shown me enough I have the confidence to save myself some money and do it myself.
Wish me luck! LOL
That was fantastic! Best tutorial I have ever seen. So informative and thorough. You are a wonderful teacher/nail artist. Thank you thank you! I am now a complete fan :)
This is the BEST tutorial I've seen on liquid-to-powder ratio...I wish I could hug you!!! This answered all my questions AND let me know exactly what I've been doing wrong...you're amazing, thank you so much!!!
This was great. The best I've seen about ratios.
I LOVE LOVE LOVE! Your teaching method. You are currently my teacher, while I figure out my work/school schedule. You are definitely a jewel on YT. Thank you so much. I can't wait until I have the skills you do.
This was so helpful. I love these educational and troubleshooting type videos. Will you please do a video about your brushes?
Yes, I agree! Please do a video showing what brushes you use! Love educational videos like these, you're awesome at explaining! 💋

This is the best, most straight forward tutorial that actually explains exactly how to do it. I learnt so much & can’t wait to practice
I needed this tutorial to perfect my beads. Thank you Kirsty.
So I’m self taught and just do nails for people I know and u by far are the best teacher. I am proud I actually never dug my brush into the powder that way, I just knew it was supposed to be a bead....but you made me see my 1st mistake in flooding the bead once it’s on the nail! 😮 I’d watch videos and no one ever mentioned it and I was always wondering why I couldn’t control my bead and why my brush would get the acrylic on it like yours at the end! So thank you so much for teaching me this :)
I also taught myself bc here in America it’s hard to find a shop where they clean their equipment and I didn’t want my sister going in and getting a fungus and them destroying her nails...I’m very easy on the nail beds I don’t like to file them much and always clean off everything
Omg, cha cha slide, loved it 😁
Great video, you are a good teacher 😊
This is so much better than going to school to learn it .. they never explain it as good as she does .. and so well step by step .. thank you so much for sharing your knowledge on how to do nails ...this was great
Another lesson learned, thank you Kirsty!! ❤ You're the BEST! 😄💅
Getting ready for my State Board Practical test in Kentucky, USA and watching your video. I have learned so much about acrylics with you. You are awesome!!!
Can you do the same with gel? Pleeeease :*
true, I find gel the worst to work with :(
Yes please!
I tried to use that builder gel last night (the night before a job interview), and I was up all night trying to brush the gel onto my natural/tip nails, and tried to cure the gel in a LED/UV 46 gel lamp (thinking that would cure anything fast). Well the builder gel never did cure properly after 2 minutes and remain tacky. So I used a lint-free wipe with gel brush cleaner and applied to my nails to get the junk off them, and the darn lint-free wipe stuck to my nails, and my monomer was a clumpy cloudy mess. My fingers were all sticky feeling and the darn lint-free wipes stuck to my fingers too. What a complete disaster!!! I finally got the builder gel off by rolling it off my nails lol to wind up with extremely sticky fingers again. After finally getting the crap of my fingers again, my well filed and shaped french nails that took me all night to do that I was so proud of, I finally decided my safe bet would be to use the base gel and 'no-wipe top gel' that brought a smile to my face with a pretty fake gem on the ring fingers to top it all off. I learned my lesson the hard way LOL.
@ Robina.... after all that, I hope you got the job!! 😂
Thank you
I’m learning how to do nails just to save myself money, you by far have taught me so much more than anyone else I’ve watched on RUclips! Thank you so much!!!!
Omg this was so helpful I always had residue on my brush while doing acrylic nails but I thought it was normal or something but it stopped me from forming a perfect nail this helps a lot I love your videos 😩💗
Omg Kirsrty, THANK YOU for this video!!!! You have no idea how many times I’ve had this explained to me but I didn’t get it until I listened and watched you demonstrate. GIRL!!! You just don’t know what you just did for me! I practiced my acrylic application with what I learned from this video and BOOM!!! Im like a thousand times better now! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!😘
Thank you so much for explaining this . I have been having a hard time and my teacher has not explained or taught us. Wish you could come down to Kansas to give a class!
No way :( But we are happy to know that our video has been helpful! x
I love my instructor, she's so patient and knowledgable (and she loves your vids!) but she didn't really go over these basics and I wish she had. I'm 1/3rd of the way done with my program and I'm just now watching this video and realizing what I'm doing incorrectly with the bead to monomer ratio and also the proper way to pick up a bead. I hope I can unlearn what I have learnt so far so I can do it the proper way! Thank you for this video!
i went to cos school a few years ago and wanted to brush up on some knowledge before i do my own nails. ur great & this was weirdly relaxing to watch before bed lmfao
I just learned more in this video then I did in school! I was having every problem you talked about and was getting really discouraged thinking maybe this wasn’t something I wanted to do. Because nothing was turning out right. Was spending so much time having to files and shape nail after the acrylic was laid because it was so messy. I love your channel!!!
you're amazing, I hope I'm as good as you one day. I'm training to be a nail technician, love your channel.
Omg I've watched soooo many beginner tutorials but this one was by FAR the best! Thank you soooo much xo
I LOVE all your video ....but this ONE IS THE BEST I HAVE EVER SEEN >>>> i love you so much you answered all my unsolved issues with my guming brush .... i am just wishing i could have seen this YEARS AGO when it came out ...
i really wish you had a playlist will all the good ones like this ...
thank you so much .... awesome ... better than what i learn in school ...!!!
bob ross of fake nails.
I know huh!!!😄♥️
This is the best comment I’ve ever read. Couldn’t be more accurate. Thanks Muphlon💗
"happy nails"😉
This is exactly what went throught my mind, when you have played around and really know your art you know exactly what your doing, and this girl is awesome so glad I stumbled on her channel.
Absolutely! Love it 😍🤩
This is a great video for a visual learner like myself. Especially when you showed the distance in dragging of the brush into the acrylic. Thank you so much & many blessings.
More vids Like this please love watching this educational vids ^^
jessica simons I so agree!! This video alone will change a nail techs work drastically!
You, miss... Are THE goddess of gorgeous nails!!! I am so glad that I stumbled onto your videos. I've spent a very l long time tattooing, but you've inspired me to get my nail tech license. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! There's motivation back in my life!!!!
