How To: 9 Week Old Nails | Soak Off and Infill on Andrea

Hi everybody, Welcome back to the Kirsty Meakin Channel, today I’m soaking off Andrea’s nails that have been on for 9 weeks. I don’t reccomend leaving a nail for 9 weeks but sometimes life happens and you can’t. I’m going to use my Mandrel Bit and a medium bit to remove the bulk and etch into that nail and then I’m going to push back the cuticles and use a fine sanding band over the natural nail. I’m going to take cotton wool, acetone and foil to wrap the nail and soak the product off. On the other nail I’m going to do the same prep but instead of soaking off, I’m going to do an infill. I’ll wipe over with the clean up solution and use the A&A Acrylic system in Tan me up. I’m going to pick up my bead and place it near the cuticle, pull it down and blend the new acrylic into the old acrylic. I’ll move the apex back into the back third of the nail to give the nail strength. Because of how long these nails are, we can pinch the nail with the evil Samatha Tool. Once it’s pinched, I can file the nail properly and buff it. We can go back to the soak off now and roll off the soaked acrylic with a tool and then file with a 180 grit file. There’s still a little bit on so I’m going to give it another 5 minutes and then use a 240 grit file before doing a full overlay on the natural nail. I’m going to finish with cuticle oil and do my design in a another video. I hope you enjoyed this video, don’t forget to like and subscribe. Tara Duck XOXO 💅💋💅 MY PRODUCTS 💅💋💅 Mandrel Bit -
