Hi Guys,

In this video I am going back to basics. By that I mean I am going to show you guys how to pick up the perfect bead and also go into depth on how to pick up different size beads using acrylic.

This video is great for nail techs of all experience levels, so whether you're a beginner or someone who has been doing this for a long time I recommend you give this a watch because you may pick up some handy tips and tricks!

I hope you guys found this video informative.

Love,

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 Youtube! Anyways thank you so much for helping!!!

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.

Omg your background is my dream😍 like a kid in a toy store, so much to play with.

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!

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!!

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.

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 <3

[choomxi]

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

[catherinepowell]

i've learned more from these tutorials than i've learned in the past 5yrs so thank you Kirsty please keep them coming 💪💅

[NeubionQueen]

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 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!

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. ❤️❤️❤️

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!

[Stuck_on_pause]

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 :)

[veronicasanchez]

This was so educational and helpful! I'm a newly licensed nail tech and I've struggled with liquid powder ratio for so long and finally I know what I was doing wrong. Thanks a million for this video. I've been binge watching ALL of your videos. Very helpful.

[kelseymorine-reid]

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!!!!

[rachelbrindley]

Can I just say - You are THE BEST tutorial on YouTube! 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

[ofthebeanvariety]

This was great. The best I've seen about ratios.

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.
