My opinion is that YN is trying to show how to do a beautiful design that is faster so the nail tech can make more money. They are not saying its the only way. Thank you Young Nails, love it!
I've been a licensed cosmetologist for almost 8 years and I completely understand charging a client based on labor, time and product usage! Hair, makeup and nails aren't a necessity but people choose to get them done as luxury period! Bottom line is this "You get what you pay for"...and if you don't like the price then go somewhere else! Beautiful set of nails by the way😍
I totally agree with the method in which you are creating this look! I used to do colored acrylics, but then when they come back for a fill in you have to file it down to the clear and start over again, or just polish over that design anyway so no reason to do the whole thing in acrylic. I love the genre method of acrylic powder in base gel! Your prices may be higher for some people, but you have done nails a long time, do it quickly, and live in Anaheim which is expensive and expensive real estate compared to many of us. With that being said, if you are a tech creating work like this and only charging $50-60 you are way, way too low and need to rethink you pricing strategy! If they want more - they PAY more. Last, I appreciate what Young Nails does here - shows us how to recreate designs and a solid pricing strategy that helps us in a clear concise way to price.
I love these how much videos. Also I’m loving how I was able to see how close she got to the cuticle 👍🏽👍🏽. I’ve never seen anyone zoom in like this. Thank you
If I took that pic into the salon and got those nails I'd want my money back. No marbling, different mylar in both shape and colour, and minimal rhinestone placement. The pastel ombre was on point but the finished nails lack the elegance of the original set.
I get that the point of this video was how to do a quick recolour without having to shave the nail down and rebuild, so the marble just isn't going to happen, but other than that if YN Vanilla Icy mylar was used and a variation of stone sizes (with how much the Lots of Rocks kit costs and the ease of application using a wax stylus, $2 a stone is painfully overpriced) the original look could have been maintained without compromising any time at all.
Ollie Olliver ikr 2$ a stone?!?! I bring in my own, “stones” (acrylic gems...) when I go to the salon. The salons hate me & think I’m picky but they are overpriced & cant even shape a nail! They sell the same, “stones” for 5-10$ a pop that I get on Aliexpress & eBay 10 for 2-4$!! I normally do my own nails but have been to the salon about 6 times in the last 4 years, each time I was given fat uneven overpriced nails whether I chose gel or acrylic. In fact twice was so bad the next day I took off the bling & re shaped & filled myself. Why the heck would I pay 100$ for that?!?! If it was me doing that set I wouldn’t charge more than 100$ but if it only took me an hour I think I would charge 80$ (Canadian!) it has minimal gems & she wasted so much powder that isn’t the clients fault so she shouldn’t have to pay for it. All that being said I like both sets but I agree with the above commenter, the dark pink Mylar doesn’t match & looked kind of orange. For that price there should be way more bling. Omg wait! You sassy devil! Your trying to show people how much they could potentially make from one set if they buy your products/get into nail art! Bravo 👏🏻 (I only feel like half a blond for not getting it till now 😅) well done YN! (Btw I have your non soak off structure gel, love it 💕)
Oh my word! Habib, you are SO right! This is really a gorgeous set ! The music also rounded off the perfect long weekend of slow jams here in Johannesburg, ZA. I'm totally chill right now! 🤗🤗❤❤
The duration of the design wouldn't be affected with the different product, ether way a fill will be necessary in 2-4 weeks, and an all acrylic set would have been quite a bit more in this case. This client chose gel polish as a topical design so she could save a few bucks on this appt as well as her return since she won't have to have everything removed, just gel polish removed & filled.
It is acrylic and dip powder encased in gel yes? This still has that strength and long-wear. It’s just a lot less chunky and looks nicer. Plus I’d pay any price for a well executed design;P Love that pastel ombré💖💜🐰✨ I do have to say I do a lot with my hands as a Glass artist/ Mechanic/ Woman lol and never can get my stones to set in gel for longer than a few days - any tips???
Pixie Pleasure kiara sky base (basically glue) is the strongest i’ve used. No stones fell off! Or young nails sculpt gel is really great!! You wont lose anything either!
This is acrylic powder poured into conversion gel then sealed, yes the product is durable. Best luck with stones has been setting them into clear sculpt and then curing. Sealed with finish gel top
Facts!!!!!!! I deffinitly love gel polish designs like they came make un countable amounts of designs but theres just something about the way acrylic looks n deffinitly last longer. And omg when u make the right acrylic designs with the perfect matte top coat!😲😲😲😲💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙 im in love!!!!💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙
😯 *Wow! I kept waiting to hear the drill turn on and never did, so imagine my shock and surprise when that cross cut but started filing away on the nail!* 🤔 *YN Efile... 😍 **#GottaHaveIt** !!!*
That’s a great idea for speed to use that technique. Can you show us a video of you marbling acrylic. I know everyone does it a different way and I’d like to see how Tracey does it and how much she charges
Love it. It blended so softly! Can we get a video on slick pour and ManiQ or go time on natural nails??? Lol do it on habib ! Short real life nails lol!
Woah UA-cam recommending me this video again. Love the color scheme. It’s about that time. Spring sets are in I guess. Some of the people who comment I’d never pay that much for a set. This and that. This and that. Firstly, I thought this channel caters more to those that are nail techs. Not nail enthusiasts like myself. If I was going to make a business out of it I’d sure take your advice and see where I could raise prices after doing nails for a while and staying good at it. Secondly, location matters a lot. West coast and east coast like LA and NY are known not to be cheap. Cost of living is high so makes sense as to why luxury services aren’t cheap in those sort of locations.
Excellent 🌺 you can do anything and you are really amazing in nail design 😍 Thank you for showing and sharing. You are going to reach the 200000 subscribers guys congrats 😊
She just poured powder that’s it, $160 for just that is ridiculous, and for only 4 stones? It’s not like the nails I get are cheap, by no means are my nails cheap, I pay a pretty penny, but not for nothing to really be done to them!😱
Does the size of the stone matter on how much you charge for it? or you charge two dollars no matter what the size of the stone is? Im learning on how to price my services by watching you guys. I just made a purchase with your April sale. love your products.
Depending on what kind of stones you use (Swarovski crystals vs basic rhinestones), you can charge per stone or you can have a set price per nail. Keep in mind that if you do a set price per nail, you may want to have a different price for short, medium, long, extra long. For example, you could charge $10 per nail for short, $15 for med, $20 for long. If you are using Swarovski, it may be higher depending on the size/shape of the crystals.
I have a "how much" question. Do you ever custom mix a gel color? For instance, if a client really wants a specific periwinkle color and you have a blue and a purple and a white you can combine to make the color. Would it be like when you mix a glitter and you charge per gel? Would you charge for the custom mixing? How much?
Again, $5 off... This is gorgeous, but... Horribly expensive! Looking at my Easter mani that I am wearing now... I am sure glad I do my own nails! And it needs to come off after only a few days now. Lots of foils and bling....yes, sure glad I do my own! 😃
I just started watching this channel a couple days ago. And I love it!! And then I met tracy............. where did y’all find her? Do you really not see a difference between her work and literally everyone else’s? Lol. I don’t wanna say she really bad, but I’m a beginner and I do better. Lol. At least she try’s tho... lol.
Lovely set, I'd like to see how you fixed the cuticle area ..as it look so much cleaner in the last picture.. Xxx could I ask how many clients you do in a week tracey?, X
so many ppl here complaining about the price bc of the technique she chose. still product is being used here. us techs have to charge for the products we have to buy to provide the service you want! seriously.
Not sure if it’s clients or nail techs saying that it cost too much, but if it’s clients then you for sure don’t see how much we pay for our products, time/effort. And for if it’s nail techs saying they wouldn’t pay that or charge that then I’m not sure what products you’re using that you can charge so little. $160 seems more than fair
$2 per stone?! A junk nail or bling nail with 20+ stones would be $40+ dollars! If a client wanted a full blinged out set it would be at least $490 if Traci had to do it! Swarovski stones are waaaaay more expensive than YN stones so how much should be charged for those? I love love love YN but $2 bucks per stone is super duper uber-ly expensive especially for stones with no variety!
Beautiful!! Online filling up my cart. I don't really understand what conversation base and top are. I guess I always thought it converted regular polish to a gel like life. Any specific reason she chose this base and top for acrylic powder and Mylar??? This set is probably my all time favorite!!!
The colours in the inspiration/original photo are a lot more marbled, which looks really nice. They are slightly more saturated. The remake are a little too hard to see the nice detailing effects, because they’re too pale
I think it is good to ask for what you are worth and to upcharge for extras like glitter and ombre...that said in a middle class/ blue-collar town on the east coast you may fetch a few clients willing to pay 160.00 dollars for a set once or twice a week. ..but who could live on that? In LA it is likely you will have a larger number of clients who can afford that price point..I know many extremely talented Nail Techs that do impeccable work using top quality products and equipment but the market in the regional area also is a factor in the price. I just want all those young and talented nail techs not to get discouraged by the fact they are not getting 160.00 for a set of nails.."you get what you pay for" is not always true. I love Young Nails Channel as well as your products by the way..I am not refuting or criticizing anything said here just offering another perspective
Definitely shouldn't feel discouraged, and we always recommend having lower priced services available on the menu but when the client chooses aaaalll the things it needs to be charged accordingly and discussed with them of course that way if there is a budget we can work with that. All that said the point of the series isn't necessarily to price match but more of a reference, base prices may vary but all the additives should be charged for so we are just looking to help guide techs. :)
Look, I love Young Nails but you guys really irritate me with your pricing. Of coarse I understand that you're in it to make money but that's highway robbery. Not that you're charging too much per color, product ect. but I guess your starting point mostly, and charging for shape is unreasonable unless it's a really long set. After all shaping the nails is part of it. That's like charging extra for the starch in a potato, or the fiber in beans. For that reason I don't usually watch the How Much series but I've watched everything else😅 I do love the look though. That ombre was dope 😍
SJN Files Cosmetics Yeah very similar, would love to see a review and or compare. I love this style, the face dial, digital plus so much more but no torque...hopefully YN is higher watts.
$160? WOW. $2 per stone? Highway robbery on this one. You can really sit there with a good conscience and charge that much for nails? Do you know how much food that can buy someone? That's 2 weeks of groceries for my family.
Totally understand how some could feel that way! That's more than my grocery bill as well, however nails are a luxury and as you saw there is a price break down for each item added. This client wanted all the things and was totally fine paying, if someone is on a budget they can always get a simple gel polish. The price is the price, it is not a nail techs job to budget for their clients but to have a range of items on their menu for the clients to choose from. And fyi $2 per stone is about average. ;)
Nails are a luxury not a need. We all have different budgets and we all may choose the salon to go to according to that budget. Having said that this is why we have UA-cam.We can learn to do it ourselves and of course we can save tons that way😉
Nails are a luxury. Groceries are a necessity. Nail supplies cost MONEY. They're not cheap! These designs are true works of art. You're paying for work, time and labour.
A friend that is a tattoo artist always says to people who ask her how in the hell she can possibly charge so much and her response is this "You are not paying me just for the X amount of hours you are in my chair. You are paying me because of my years of experience, because of the art schooling I took that has given me a mastery of art to provide such beautiful tattoos that'll be beautiful for a lifetime and because I took dermatology classes I took to make sure I can take care of your skin. That is what goes into your tattoo, not just hours and ink." Same goes for nails. Product, time, experience and it is a luxury thing.
Maintenance for future sets, also a time factor as well as cost. If we did a traditional ombre the full nail would need to be removed at this appt as well as the next which would increase the cost and appt time.
@@youngnailsincjust curious why not use a clear base that can be filed back down to? The reason I ask is because that's how I do all of my sets I only use colored acrylic lol I've never been lucky enough to have a client want to keep the same design they previously had they are always completely different.
@@rhondaallison7815 I wondered the same thing. Why not do a clear acrylic base so you can file down for the next appointment. There were so many products used and time taken to do this set. I don't understand how the acrylic would have cost more. 🤔
@@Skalyon2 I know I never like to say anything negative but for me this method wouldn't be cheaper there was soo much waste on just the 2 nails we saw i guess I could see doing that if you wasn't confident in doing design work but I personally would have been really disappointed if I asked for the exact design in the picture and that was my end result although still very pretty the colors were obviously the same but design no and for that price i would expect it to be exact and like you said soo many products wer used but then again I'm use to doing all design work and this method could be faster for someone who isn't i guess that's the beauty in nails we all work different and as long as the client is happy with the end result that's what counts no matter how we get there
The price is justifiable, but I have never had a client who would EVER be okay with that or willing to pay it. People always are trying to save a buck, which sucks because it’s usually those same people who have the highest expectations. When I have a customer who is willing to pay a lot for their set, they are always chill and super happy with the outcome. When I have a customer who gets the cheapest set and will do everything in their power to save some coin, they are always the one who have the most complaints and highest expectations. It’s legit ridiculous

Exactly!! If others want to give stuff away for free, then they need to re-evaluate their business practices!
Dillin Rivera yes 🙌🏼
This was a beautiful set. But it stresses me out how much product is wasted lol
Lol!
They pay for that!
Thats why its 160$
I was cringing watching that lol
Hold upppppp!!! The design of that electric file is 🔥🔥🔥!!!!! And it’s super quiet too! I can’t wait to try it out!!!
LOL it's soooo good!
Right!? Will it be available in Canada?
I love "How much" 😍
so do we!
For real, though. Like I'm pretty close to wanting "How Much" Merch. I have SOOOOOOoooooo many ideas on "how much" tee-shirt phrases right now! LOL

Tracey never fails or disappoints!!!! I just love watching her work all her designs are stunning xox
shes awesome!
Never thought of curing acrylic over a base coat gel, what a genius idea, loving the videos and Tracey's is great instructor ❤💕.
she sure is!
I Always learn something from Tracy’s vids Super cool music too 💕
I love these how much videos. Also I’m loving how I was able to see how close she got to the cuticle 👍🏽👍🏽. I’ve never seen anyone zoom in like this. Thank you

For 160$ I’d rather have it done in acrylic so I can wear it awhile instead of gel polish.

It’s just a lot less chunky and looks nicer.

What would we do without you people! I love these videos :-)

I honestly was thinking $150
Great job, Tracey! The set looks stunning!

I like this channel but no way would I pay that much for nails
get what you pay for
Danyal Wiggins I completely agree with you...I get gorgeous nails with way more bling for way less...I would pay $160, but not for that.
Danyal Wiggins there is Nail Tech and clientele for everyone.
Stunning!

Love the pastel hombre!!
Same!
No one in my town would pay that .. ridiculous price.....beautiful yes
That's too bad.
You have to remember it is the markwt you are in. Young naijs is in Los Angeles California it may be alittle different for you with your base price.
She just poured powder that’s it, $160 for just that is ridiculous, and for only 4 stones? It’s not like the nails I get are cheap, by no means are my nails cheap, I pay a pretty penny, but not for nothing to really be done to them!😱
Really niiiice Tracey....🤩👍
Yay! Love this technique
So pretty!
so fun right
Take my $$$$$
Love this look! This nail design has the Taylor Swift new song Me! vibes bc of the pastel colors & nail bling! 😍🥰😘💖💕💅🎨🦄🌈🦋

Very beeeeuuutiFULL!

I love love love YN but $2 bucks per stone is super duper uber-ly expensive especially for stones with no variety!
You can always make a deal for clients like $30 for a full nail as a set price regardless of stones etc
Can you do this same technique using other bases and tops if you do not have any conversion products?
Yep just like a glitter press
$160??? That’s awesome I thought it would have been more
Nice
Beautiful!! Online filling up my cart. I don't really understand what conversation base and top are. I guess I always thought it converted regular polish to a gel like life. Any specific reason she chose this base and top for acrylic powder and Mylar??? This set is probably my all time favorite!!!
Nice! The conversion polish is a little thicker so sometimes for glitter presses and such it really seals it in well
YoungNailsInc thank you for explaining that. I love your product and your videos. Thank you so much!
I wanna eat the raspberry mylar! Lolololol
lol
Do you have any clients that are extra and ask for longer showey nails? Loved to see you do a video like that .

The colours in the inspiration/original photo are a lot more marbled, which looks really nice. They are slightly more saturated. The remake are a little too hard to see the nice detailing effects, because they’re too pale
I think it is good to ask for what you are worth and to upcharge for extras like glitter and ombre...that said in a middle class/ blue-collar town on the east coast you may fetch a few clients willing to pay 160.00 dollars for a set once or twice a week. ..but who could live on that? In LA it is likely you will have a larger number of clients who can afford that price point..I know many extremely talented Nail Techs that do impeccable work using top quality products and equipment but the market in the regional area also is a factor in the price. I just want all those young and talented nail techs not to get discouraged by the fact they are not getting 160.00 for a set of nails.."you get what you pay for" is not always true.
I love Young Nails Channel as well as your products by the way..I am not refuting or criticizing anything said here just offering another perspective
Definitely shouldn't feel discouraged, and we always recommend having lower priced services available on the menu but when the client chooses aaaalll the things it needs to be charged accordingly and discussed with them of course that way if there is a budget we can work with that. All that said the point of the series isn't necessarily to price match but more of a reference, base prices may vary but all the additives should be charged for so we are just looking to help guide techs. :)
The Inspo set had ALOT more going on-- I wouldn't pay $160 for those.
We loved em! Again pricing is always agreed upon during appt. So if she was on a budget maybe we could lose the stones or extra colors
@@youngnailsinc oh they are beautiful, no doubt! It was a nice take on the original set, but nowhere near as blingy 💎💎💎
why don't you put the top coat over the rhinestones?
It will take away the depth. You can top coat around the edges
how did you clean up the cuticle area at the end? the nails are so neat in the after shots
Little swipe on a gel brush will do the trick
so I spend 30 for toes 35 for my refell every 2 weeks ,,, good job
nice
if you done the nail in the acrylic .... like a NEW SET what would have been the price .. CHEAPER?
Way more
does that acrylic set that quickly? Seems she should have waited a bit to start painting.
It is pretty fast setting
Will you be doing a video overview of the new e-file?
Yep!
Will your full size electric file that holds bits etc be back on the site in May as well??!!
Our old files are out of stock
@@youngnailsinc oh no, will you be getting more in??!
What is the pink and purple powder?
Tippy cup turquoise and blushing girl acrylic colors
Just curious, if this was all acrylic how much would it be?
Right?
An additional 5 for each color, plus the cost of clipping off and re sculpting
Look, I love Young Nails but you guys really irritate me with your pricing. Of coarse I understand that you're in it to make money but that's highway robbery. Not that you're charging too much per color, product ect. but I guess your starting point mostly, and charging for shape is unreasonable unless it's a really long set. After all shaping the nails is part of it. That's like charging extra for the starch in a potato, or the fiber in beans. For that reason I don't usually watch the How Much series but I've watched everything else😅 I do love the look though. That ombre was dope 😍
Here Mexico the people don't want to pay a work like that. The most they pay for that gougeous job is like 20 dlls.
That's too bad, A LOT of work and product went into this set
Que tristeza que no valoren el talento. Es mucho trabajo. Y varios materiales
@@dortega787 si ya se. Claro acá no usan el mismo material. Pero en cuanto a diseño y el largo. Los geles etc. Aka en México es muy mal pagado.
Is your new e file the same watts as the Brillian that is very similar in style.?
Not exactly sure the details of that brand.
YoungNailsInc www.emscorp.ru/catalog/equipment/manicure/apparat_strong/brillian_white/. This one ! Korean made.
@@Kelly-vj2wn Whoa...... looks similar.
That's insane.
SJN Files Cosmetics Yeah very similar, would love to see a review and or compare. I love this style, the face dial, digital plus so much more but no torque...hopefully YN is higher watts.
$160? WOW. $2 per stone? Highway robbery on this one. You can really sit there with a good conscience and charge that much for nails? Do you know how much food that can buy someone? That's 2 weeks of groceries for my family.
Totally understand how some could feel that way! That's more than my grocery bill as well, however nails are a luxury and as you saw there is a price break down for each item added. This client wanted all the things and was totally fine paying, if someone is on a budget they can always get a simple gel polish. The price is the price, it is not a nail techs job to budget for their clients but to have a range of items on their menu for the clients to choose from. And fyi $2 per stone is about average. ;)
Nails are a luxury not a need. We all have different budgets and we all may choose the salon to go to according to that budget. Having said that this is why we have UA-cam.We can learn to do it ourselves and of course we can save tons that way😉
Nails are a luxury. Groceries are a necessity.
Nail supplies cost MONEY. They're not cheap! These designs are true works of art. You're paying for work, time and labour.
A friend that is a tattoo artist always says to people who ask her how in the hell she can possibly charge so much and her response is this "You are not paying me just for the X amount of hours you are in my chair. You are paying me because of my years of experience, because of the art schooling I took that has given me a mastery of art to provide such beautiful tattoos that'll be beautiful for a lifetime and because I took dermatology classes I took to make sure I can take care of your skin. That is what goes into your tattoo, not just hours and ink." Same goes for nails. Product, time, experience and it is a luxury thing.
@@jenninstitches Amen! Well said!
Why not just use the colored acrylics? Not my favorite set, but great ideas!
Maintenance for future sets, also a time factor as well as cost. If we did a traditional ombre the full nail would need to be removed at this appt as well as the next which would increase the cost and appt time.
@@youngnailsincjust curious why not use a clear base that can be filed back down to? The reason I ask is because that's how I do all of my sets I only use colored acrylic lol I've never been lucky enough to have a client want to keep the same design they previously had they are always completely different.
@@rhondaallison7815 I wondered the same thing. Why not do a clear acrylic base so you can file down for the next appointment. There were so many products used and time taken to do this set. I don't understand how the acrylic would have cost more. 🤔
@@Skalyon2 I know I never like to say anything negative but for me this method wouldn't be cheaper there was soo much waste on just the 2 nails we saw i guess I could see doing that if you wasn't confident in doing design work but I personally would have been really disappointed if I asked for the exact design in the picture and that was my end result although still very pretty the colors were obviously the same but design no and for that price i would expect it to be exact and like you said soo many products wer used but then again I'm use to doing all design work and this method could be faster for someone who isn't i guess that's the beauty in nails we all work different and as long as the client is happy with the end result that's what counts no matter how we get there
The price is justifiable, but I have never had a client who would EVER be okay with that or willing to pay it. People always are trying to save a buck, which sucks because it’s usually those same people who have the highest expectations. When I have a customer who is willing to pay a lot for their set, they are always chill and super happy with the outcome. When I have a customer who gets the cheapest set and will do everything in their power to save some coin, they are always the one who have the most complaints and highest expectations. It’s legit ridiculous
Fair enough points, that's why it's always good to have several different price points on your menu for clients to choose from if on a budget.
What is the colored powder that was put on the nail?
Colored acrylic, blushing girl and tippy cup turquoise
