Whenever I am unsure on a technique I always comeback to watch a refresher course. I will call it: for the knowledge you all share you guys do not get the views to match. People just cheating themselves out of free knowledge.
You guys are now my # 1 go too for "how too" , I love how thorough you explain everything, well thought out and well spoken that even this ol gal can understand (I'm 58 and living my dream) thank you!! I need to see everything you have!!
This channel helped me a lot!! I watched a lot of videos but non of them could give me the best solution or answer to my problems, but this amazing channel helped me and I'm so thankful to you guys, I am happy that I found this wonderful channel ❤🥰
Thanks guys great video. The only thing I would have liked to see mentioned is placement of the tip insofar as how far down the nail you want to be playing the tip when adhering. Seeing so many people gluing tips half way down the nail plate or more 😕
So glad I came across this. I was just about to search a video on this because I struggle with perfectly fitting them because sometimes it bends down or up
Such an easy to follow video just like the others. That's why I come back. I'm actually trying out the YN brush on glue for the first time. On a safety note, nail lamps put out uv light which is not good for skin. It's been recommended to apply sunscreen to the hands to protect yourself. But you'd want to make sure you wipe it off of your nails though that way it wouldn't interfere with product adhesion.
This has been disproven by Doug shoon leading scientist in the nail industry. You get more uv exposure from one day driving in your car than one year of uv light usage.
I was actually hoping you could address the problems with tips that occur when the nails point upward. Sometimes it's fine for a square nail but for stiletto or almond when you need the tip to angle down sightly, it's difficult to achieve. What are your tips and tricks for those situations? A video would be much appreciated. Thanks Greg 😁
This channel is excellent for beginners and pros 👏 👌 👍 💕 I just found I was making "some" mistakes with the tips application 😅 , the fist one was no using Youngnails glue!!!💕 love you guys
Hi I'm just starting out if you can have a black background so when you put the glue on the tip we will be able to see how much glue you were adding to the tip so it can be placed on the nail thank you for reading and understanding 😊
I love these videos. They have helped me so much! I know the gels you have now are hard gels. Would you ever consider making a soft gel product so it can be soaked off?
You guys and your staff are great. I’ve learned so much from watching the videos and most importantly you make watching them fun. Your teaching and clear verbiage makes it easy to understand luv you all your the best. P.S. I luv your products
Almost Every question I ever had about doing my nails was answered in one. Video. I'm trying to start doing polygel and I feel much more confident now. The only question I have is: will putting primer/protein bond on nails first make the glue hold better? Thank you so much!!
So helpful. It would so awesome if you could take nail classed via video like your video school. I am not able to go to nail school but want so much to become an nail tech. I've done my own nails on and off for years but cannot afford to quit my current job.
Yes I have gone through the entire list. But plz don't ever stop making them for young ameture nail techs like myslf. Thankyou for all the work n effort u guys put in. Much appreciated 🙏
Our slickpour (dip powders) work in a variety of ways. They can be used with a 4 step resin system, with our monomer for acrylics, with our conversion base and top to convert into gel or mixed with out hard gel for custom colors. We will link some videos below: RESIN: ua-cam.com/video/ReXNd_8dOF4/v-deo.html MONOMER: ua-cam.com/video/nea515s3bV8/v-deo.html CONVERSION: ua-cam.com/video/sqMtfNWv0Yc/v-deo.html HARD GEL: ua-cam.com/video/udS6a--qCKI/v-deo.html
Love this channel. For a beginner, I learn so much from your videos. I do have a question though. My nailbeds and fingertips keep getting irritated whenever I change my nails. I typically do a new set every few days to once a week. Am I just not allowing enough time for healing?
idk why but for me none of the tips ive tried with two brands work, they just don't fit and are too curved for my natural nails so even the biggest size has to be forced down I guess it's because my nails are really flat and don't have the curve so the nail tip can attach :/
Super helpful thank you. I noticed your tips are quite talon like and thin is that just so that you can have a better angle to build on? Like when I put them up to my nail they point down quite a bit but maybe that’s just so that you can use the builder gels to get a better apex?
Our tips are designed to be very thin so you can build the structure with your acrylic or hard gel since these products are stronger than just the plastic tips. As for the curve, if your natural nail has a more dramatic curve, the tip is going to follow that curve and it will look even more curved. If the natural nail has that extreme curve, it may be better to sculpt the extension so you can form it straight out from the natural nail instead of curving with the tip.
you don't want to use a strong cleanser to brush everything off because you don't want to make the tip shiny again. You want to try to keep it as etch as you possibly can.
Do y’all have any advice for me when it comes to having a flat nail bed and using tips? One of my thumbs has a flat nail bed. You’re so correct. Small tip will then pop and cause air pocket. Should I use a big mail tip that hangs over the edge anyways and file it to customize it? I stopped using nail tips though because of this. Just doesn’t go well with my thumb but I quite enjoy sculpting.
I bet they would encourage continued use of forms. Especially if you're enjoying it😊 Many people find them difficult or frustrating. So once in a while, YN will give advice on using tips, for those folks. But mostly, they discourage using them.
Hello, U didn't add the base coat before applying gel, is that ok? There is no issue? Because I've done that before without base coat and I noticed it is stuck perfectly and for longer time ,so is that ok to don't use it at all? I hope u answer my question 💙
Ok .. So lets say im going to apply a dark acrylic so a base of clear acrylic has to be applied first so it wont stain the nail... Instead of using clear acrylic can clear building gel be applied in stead of the clear aclylic and then add the dark one?
Question? I’m self taught. What do I do when a size is to small and the next size is to big? Example: A size 6 tip is to small and a size 7 tip is to big?
Oh my gosh I didn’t know he had a twin but I have too buy you guys products I heard about them I looked them up on you guys website and I wanna get everything but everything just runs out too fast
Greg you never put link on your video when you used the (Clear Nail no glue video) Not sure if name was Noel? Or. Naio nails, can you please let me know the correct spelling and where can I purchase them.? Also can I use Builder Gel Pink when adding this Extension. Much appreciated!

If you have a broken nail and want to apply acrylic, we don't recommend applying a wrap first. The acrylic will be strong enough to hold the crack together.

This is the most helpful channel for beginners like myself everything is always easy to understand and quick to the point, thank you so much 😊
I 100% agree!!!!!!!
100% agree
You guys should do a video with a client who has “challenging” nails that are wide and are uneven lol this clients nail is perfect lol
Agreed. I have rather wide as well as some slim nails. I want to see nails similar.
This was Tracey's nail. LOL. You have perfect nails!
Agree everybody do it on these semi perfect looking nails
I agree! Mine grow in weird angles and are tiny. I need to know how to make tips work for extra small nails.
I’ve learned so much from young nails. Thanks for all you do
Same.

You would go with the bigger size and file the edges
So helpful. It would so awesome if you could take nail classed via video like your video school. I am not able to go to nail school but want so much to become an nail tech. I've done my own nails on and off for years but cannot afford to quit my current job.
That just showed me a lot and I even see where I made a few mistakes as well

Another Great Video!! Thank you!!
Thank you so much for this video!
Love this. So informative
I did love your work on the nails🙏🏾⚘💅🏾I'm thinking about order from y'all🤔🥰
You make it look so easy.
I LOVE the YN glue, its my favorite but every single one ive bought has gotten glued shut 😭 How do yall keep yours fresh? :(
on my course i was told that putting a few drops of cuticle oil on the screw part of the bottle should stop it from glueing shut x
@@laurenx1624 Oh! Thats smart!! Thank you😊
Apparently the pros keep it in sealed containers in the fridge. Trying that with my latest bottle today.
I dapped a little of cuticle oil to keep the tip area from crust up and clogging the hole to keep the glue drying out.
Have you tried sitting it up in a old cup that you don't use anymore or the little cardboard from an empty roll of tissue.
Thank you!💫
I will order this glue when I make my purchase monomer. I love young nails acrylic product especially the CLEAR CORE.
So what if you don’t fine one that is “just right”. Do you file down a larger one?
essentially yes! you want to trim the sidewalls bit by bit until they match yours!
Thanks for the video. 💅💅💅💅💅💅💅
Hello Greg I was wondering if you could do a video that gives us tips on how to put on the nail tips straight. Thanks in advance!
When applying tips, line them up so they are straight with the finger, not the nail. This will assure they are straight when adhered.
Yessss we needed a tips mistakes video 🙏🏻👏🏼
Would it be possible if you could do a video showing how to do someone's nails that might be a bit more oily than the average nail?
Thank you for the suggestion. We can try, but since we don't have a salon we only have a few people to choose from when working on a real person.
Thanks for been my teacher
Wow amazing!!! Love this 🥰🤩🤩🤩
Perfect video
Great video!
Love this channel. For a beginner, I learn so much from your videos. I do have a question though. My nailbeds and fingertips keep getting irritated whenever I change my nails. I typically do a new set every few days to once a week. Am I just not allowing enough time for healing?
What product do you wear on your nails? Acrylic/gel/gel polish? How are you removing the product?
@@youngnailsinc I am using acrylic. I remove them with both my efile and soaking in acetone.
Thank you
I'm the "too small" tip chooser.. Thank You!
idk why but for me none of the tips ive tried with two brands work, they just don't fit and are too curved for my natural nails so even the biggest size has to be forced down I guess it's because my nails are really flat and don't have the curve so the nail tip can attach :/
@@kpoptrash4085 what brands did you try? KISS makes thinner and smaller nails. You can always file them down and clip them to your liking.
Super helpful thank you. I noticed your tips are quite talon like and thin is that just so that you can have a better angle to build on? Like when I put them up to my nail they point down quite a bit but maybe that’s just so that you can use the builder gels to get a better apex?

Thank you!
Thank you as always. Question: so it is better to file the tip for the gel applications only or also for acrylic application too??
it wouldn't mess the nail up if you did when applying acrylic but you don't have to. With gel or hard gel you have to prep the surface of the tip.
many thanks for this video :)
Kings 🤗🤗🤗
Hi can u please make a video on how to apply acrylic properly near cuticles
I wish I could come and work with you guys 😙
thank youuuuuuu
Quick question...why did Greg not use a dehydrator first before protein bond? Or is that just not needed when using tips?? Thanks 🙏🙏
you don't want to use a strong cleanser to brush everything off because you don't want to make the tip shiny again. You want to try to keep it as etch as you possibly can.
@@youngnailsinc Ah!! Of course!! Thanks so much for answering 💜🤗💜

What a good client Tracy was. She didn’t make a peep 😂
Question? I’m self taught. What do I do when a size is to small and the next size is to big?
Example: A size 6 tip is to small and a size 7 tip is to big?
always use the bigger size and file the edges
If you were to do a baby boomer nail what color nail tips would you use? Natural, clear, or white
I’m just a beginner love these guy so helpful ty so much

Question if the nail tip is to small or to big wich size would be your next choice if had no other size ?
You would want to use the size that is bigger and then file it to fit the nail.
Miss seen you guys videos been gone for a lil 😔so busy doing stuff 😖
What do you do if you don't have nail dehydration and primer?
I have the large tray from you guys. Even the largest one in the pack is too small for my thumbs (i have to press it down as you showed). I don't see a larger one on the website. Do you not sell one?
Unfortunately tips are a "one size fits most" type of service. Not every style of tip will fit every nail. For larger thumbs, you may be able to press the curve onto your table to flatten it out and make it wider, but if that doesn't work, you may need to sculpt an enhancement onto the wider thumbs.
I have a question about how close the gel is too the cuticle. I see a little gap, my instinct would be to fill it. Would that make it look bad/ be too much? I’m very confused on how close exactly we should be getting to the cuticle
There isn't a specific measurement to follow, but a rule of thumb is to get as close as you can without touching the cuticle. Keep in mind that if you still see a slight gap after filing and you feel like it's not close enough, you are still going to top coat the nail and you can bring your top coat closer to fill the space and seal the product to the nail.
Would this work for classical guitar nails and would the be hard enough?
what do you mean by guitar nails? Can you clarify?
Learning so much from you !
What about putting a Fake nail on a breaking nail is that the same rules for it? After I put a wrap on the nail
If you have a broken nail and want to apply acrylic, we don't recommend applying a wrap first. The acrylic will be strong enough to hold the crack together.
Can you repeat the first layer instead if switching colors?
The first coat is just the synergy gel (hard gel) base. You do not want to build a nail with base. You don't have to switch to one of our concealer colors if you prefer clear. We have clear sculptor, build, build pink or flex synergy gel that are all clear and can be used to build the nail.
