I agree they both focus on having a solid foundation & correct technique, then making the nails pretty. So many channels it's all about how pretty the nail looks not the structure of the nail.

After learning how to do my own nails this past year and using your entire routine for prep, form fitting, application, and filing, I'm proud to say I love sculpting and have gotten very good at pinching, shaping, filing, etc. I haven't used tips in 8 months. :) Also I only use my efile around my cuticles for finish filing just because my hands get stiff (old injury). Thank you so much for all your help and inspiration! You are the absolute best imo. I'm disabled and only work on myself but I dream of getting healthy and getting my license one day. ❤❤❤ This nail hobby has got me through a lot of tough times, and so have your videos. Love Adam too and can't wait for another Faye set, or Andreas extreme shaped nails, hell even JJ's. Hope you all have a great weekend, love from Tennessee, U.S.A. 😊❤❤❤

I learn something new every time I watch one of Kirsty's videos. This time it was the bit of monomer below the 2nd bead to help melt it into the 1st bead easier and the e-filing of the tip edge under the nail at the end to hide the tip. AWESOME!

Thats why I love you bcuz you do sculpt a nail like I love to do..my clients do come back for a fill after 3 to 5 weeks to a month an half..if there is broken nails,its bcuz they accidentally banged their nails..I.hate glueing and sizing the nails tips and cut and blend them..not people has perfect nail beds and its so hard to glued those tips on a flat and wide nail beds..I agree with you..sculpting is faster..and you can costumize whatever nail type you want to achieve..

I am so greatful for how generous you are Kirsty showing everyone your skills!! Your not greedy and money hungry like many techs I see these days.. like the ones who refuse to show you anything unless your paying them hundreds of dollars for a couple hours of there time for a class with them! I have seen techs posting crap saying they have plenty of people who are willing to pay a shit ton of money for there time and it's not fair to there paying students if there gonna put free content out! Which I think.is complete bullshit! You do it Kristy and share ur knowledge with the world for free but then have classes where u go waaay more in depth! And everyone is totally ok with that!! Sadly ive noticed only techs over in the UK that I see being greedy and I would kill to see a couple second video demonstration of anything from these amazing techs in the UK bc I'm in the US I cant take any classes with any of u guys! Its just shitty how some very well known techs in the UK which I'll remain nameless are so greedy for money and the only way they will show you anything is if ur paying!! ITS BULLSHIT!! Ok I'm done ranting lol thank you sooo much for sharing your skills with us all Kirsty!! 😁😁😁😁

I wanted to cry when I heard these amazing women talk about their prices. So many amazing artists in our industry live and charge in a mindset of scarcity and competition instead of taking the power and knowing the worth of their artistry and time. I love that you travel and empower these artists with the technical ability to hopefully make that change for themselves so they can live in mindset of abundance and prosperity. It doesn’t happen over night, it’s taken me 8 years to build the confidence, technical ability, and trust with my client to build to $100 haircut and 200$ color services. Don’t settle, always progress and further yourself!!!

If any Americans can go to this class you should especially if you don’t live in a big city. You’d make so much money here with these skills. No one does sculpting, really no one can do or will do anything unique. You can get basic tips with acrylic and pick a color that’s it. The people at the salon hate anyone who wants anything different and it’s crazy expensive and we won’t even get into the how unsanitary even nice salons are
