This is when I envy my daughter. She is completely ambidextrous, absolutely no difference between her right and left hand. Kirsty they are gorgeous 😍 ❤!!
My parents purposely made me write with my left hand! I’d naturally put my pencil in my right, but they’d change it to my left. They said it makes me use both sides of my brain! Whether that’s true or not, I am now ambidextrous and have no issue doing my nails as I don’t have a dominant hand! 🤗
I am ambidextrous because when I was kid... it was "wrong" to be left handed... so I got smacked with a ruler, had pictures of a pencil in the right hand taped to my desk and all sorts of other nonsense...
Malou Mas. I am absolutely so grateful for it now! All those years of having to be moved in class because I kept bumping peoples elbows has finally paid off! 😂💅🏼
Love your work Kristy! It has been fun watching you work from home and to know I'm not the only one that that can't find things while doing nails. It's hilarious!😂
I absolutely hate doing my right hand!!! But you are the consummate artist, so I know you’ll do the nails better than anyone else. ADAM! I was switched from my left to my right hand AND THAT is what made me STRANGE!!!! booger!
You are the best and you gave me hope ! My pinky nail is not well and I thought it will never recover or grow back. I HAD a nail person that kept telling me I don't need to do full sets after months and months of acrylic fill. Covid forced me to soak them off and I cried for hours. Thank you for instilling my hope again 🙏🤗💞
Well, "need" to soak off really isn't a thing. Yes, lots of nail techs force their clients to soak-off their nails every other visit, but IMO it's NOT truly _necessary._ I've gone YEARS between soak-offs before and my nails were just fine. It didn't damage my nail plate or nail bed or whatever this "need" to force people to soak-off is blamed on.
This just goes to show that cleaning you’re own nails isn’t that easy even for a professional cause even Kirsty, with all her years of experience, gets into accidents. ❤️ I love these self extension videos because I really wanna learn to do it on myself while we’re still in lockdown. 💯
Thank you for continuing to film doing your right hand with your non dominant hand. It is really useful as i am starting to use an efile now (because after watching LOADS of your videos i now have the confidence to use an efile!!) and it is really tricky to do it on my right hand. It is so useful to see how you go about it. 😘
I do my own polygel nails at home using tips, and that tip you give about using acetone to help blend the tip into your nail WORKS! It works so good! Love the nails. Cuddles to the kitties!
I'm naturally left handed but due to a work related injury years and years ago I had to also learn to use my right hand and ever since I've kept up the practice. So I'm pretty good with both. Also encouraged my children to use both even though they are all naturally drawn to one or the other. Yes Adam I am a bit crazy not sure if it's because I'm left handed though lol personally I blame my children 😄. Love this set beautiful.
If one had a matching, shimmery white, I think that shimmery pink and the shimmery white together would make a GORGEOUS set of French tips with a little extra *zing* with that shimmery sparkle!
finally starting to watch all my lovely nail Divas vids after months of being poorly and one disaster news after another, thought I'd better watch my lovely nails friends as its been so long since I've did my own and recorded my own vid, i needed some inspiration and Kirsty you've always been my nail idol as you do some beautiful creations no matter what hand u use 😁 there always beautiful 💖 i need to take my mind off all the negatives that been happening in my life lately. so thank you. 💖
I love the video’s where you work with your non dominant hand! I do my nails myself since a few months and whenever u do video’s like this I watch extra closely how u work so it might make my application better 😅 you make it look so easy though when i know its not lol.
I started teaching myself how to do acrylic nails n fall 2017 by watching a ton of YT videos, So I thought it good to teach both hands at the same time... it's been a hell of a good timevlol
Oh girl....I know your pain.....I mastered it though.....smaller beads....I know....that's a pain in the arse....bit it works. I'm lucky enough to be ambidextrous....and it does take some work to get good at it!! Those colors you used are gorgeous! And you did a Fabulous job! Can't wait until your next video!
I know, it cuts off in the middle of her applying bling and goes straight to her saying goodbye and then one shot of her nails without any bling - weird! I wonder if the sound got messed up or they got interrupted or something.
Love them NAILS. Kirsty, I don't know why but I'm right handed but doing my right hand, it seems to turn out better then my flippin left one,I think its because I really know I'm rubbish doing anything left handed and take extra care, get a few cuts though. Ouchy. X
I'm the exact same way!! I definitely take more time and care using my left hand, then using my right hand, its kinda like I'm more confident because it's my dominant hand, so I almost rush myself I guess lol but I can totally relate!!!
When i started to watch your videos, a couple of months ago, i was like "what?! there's too much on that nail". Now i'm like "be generous, girl, let's put some BLING on it!"
Some people DO have paid RU-vid accounts. But we ALL pay for internet access, one way or another, and watching Kirsty is one of the reasons I'm happy to pay that BIG cable bill! The big cable bill is the only way to get high-speed internet at an almost affordable price where I live.
@@calichef1962 are you saying other in countries they pay to subscribe to channels on RU-vid? cuz i think thats what Adam is meaning and what I meant is that RU-vid technically is free.
Hi Kirsty, as always absolutely love your work, you are my inspiration. Please can you do more nail sets and designs with just acrygel please, I only use acrygel and would love to do more with it.
I do it, too, and I originally broke my nail biting habit (by keeping acrylic nails on for TWO YEARS without a break) more than 30 years ago! Old habits die HARD. At least I haven't resorted to any nail biting! But pick? Oh, baby, do I ever pick!!! Sometimes even when I have my nails on and the art is up to my standards (which are now INCREDIBLY HIGH, thanks to Kirsty and this channel) I STILL pick at my cuticles if I'm stressed out or bored. But after two decades of nail biting and five decades of picking at my cuticles, the sidewalls are really hard and calloused, so it's easy to pick and get a hangnail started. Then I have to break out the cuticle nippers, and we are off to the races with bloody cuticles.
As always, amazing nails 😍 But I just want to say as a cat owner and lover. Please take the bells off 😔 it's actually torture, it's like having a doorbell in your ear 😣 remember that cats have a very good hearing and are sensitive to things like bells. This is what the veterinary here in Norway will tell you ❤️ they are suuuper cute btw 😁😻
Wow, I never knew this, but it does make total sense. I'm definitely a dog person, but growing up, my mom was pretty much the crazy cat lady lol she's never put bells on them, but that's definitely good info to know! Thank you for sharing this!
I would love to know if there is a plan begind how she puts on the colors. It always looks so great on her. Is this a thing good artists see or is it something to learn ? ( to a certain amount of course)? A video about colors and how to use them right would be so amazing
I have chameleon flakes n my right hand. They shift blue purple, n if u catch the right light it looks that yellowish green. I absolutely luv putting chrome flakes n the nail way more than on the nail
Yes, she usually calls them "ballerina," which sounds MUCH prettier to my ear. I *NEVER* call them "coffin" nails. I'm OLD. To me, "coffin nails" are cigarettes, NOT a fingernail shape! I even had a cigarette case (back in the early 80s) that _said_ "Coffin Nails" on the outside of the case where EVERYONE could see it! I bought it because I was sick of people thinking they were "informing" me when they'd tell me cigarettes were going to kill me, as if I wasn't fully aware! Half of those people smoked like chimneys, themselves! This past Star Wars Day (May the fourth be with you!) was the fourth anniversary of my quitting smoking.
Wow! Lovely design!! I wish I can do that. I do my own nails: hard gel, dip and gel polish but my right hand always comes out badly painted. I have not been able to find anything to help me do it better. Thanks so much for the video and your lovely creativity. 👌😍
Wouldn’t it be easier to use your smile line tool when using your non dominant hand? I love your work! I don’t even wear nails but I’m fascinated with your skillz! 💕
I love watching you doing your nails as I tried to do this hand earlier but wish I watched this first to see a easier way to do that hand as am right handed too as I bought your starter kit which I think it's awesome 😁😁
My best friends daughter is a qualified nail tech and I'm not she hate it that I can do both hands perfect, and thinks I'm weird cause i love the sting from cleanser or acetone, lets me know I'm alive lol
Hey Kirsty! You are so inspiring! In a bunch of your videos you are wearing beige, short stillettoish nails with a gem in the center of the cuticle. Can you please show us how you do the shape of those nails? Im a beginner trying to teach myself and trying to get the shape with screen shots is driving me CRAZY🤯
I know which nails you're talking about, and if I'm remembering correctly they were the nails Kirsty did after she broke her "poorly" (ring finger on her right hand) nail. I think she called them almond shape, as she never does those tiny, little triangle "baby stiletto" nails that I've seen so many other nail techs do. I get why she doesn't do them, too. They never come out looking like they _could_ be the person's real nails, and they just aren't aesthetically pleasing. They're too severe, IMO.
I’ve only ever done three sets on myself and my non dominant hand works faster than my dominant I guess it’s because I’ve already done one and I’ve gotten used to it that it’s just a breeze. Not saying my work is excellent but I love the way my 3rd set has turned out! It’s just all a matter of practice I suppose? My dominant hand just takes longer cause I want to perfect everything
@Casandra Lynn Are you hangry? Eat a Snicker's!! Why such a Debbie downer with all your negative comments. Cheer up. We know misery loves company but reel it in huh?!?!
Kristy, could you have also used gel polish to marble and clear capped with acrylic or acrygel? I'm curious because I have seen you use gel polish on your tips (underside) prior to using acrylic over them.
Hello there. I am Trisha from South Africa. I totally LOVE watching your videos. They are so inspirational and creative. I am a nail technician (it's my side hustle) so this gives me new ideas. I have a question. Did I miss something because I did not see you finish off your beautiful nails with top coat? Thank you for a great video and all the best to you! Cheers
Glad I ent the only one to catch my self it hurts. I put on cuticle oil daily afterwards to help heal and prevent germs. Any advice on other products to use please?
Hi Kirsty, its Charity all the way from South Africa. I love you work :) . I would like to buy you products and with so many fake products on the net its hard to distinguish the difference between fake and real. So I would like to know how can one get hold of your juicy products.
