    Y’all are the best to do it. I did my own nails for years and learned some very hard lessons on filing. Now I have a professional drill and I’m using higher quality bits. I take my nail beds much more seriously now to say the least. 😅

    When a person says their nails hurt after being to a nail tech is because of that wrongful back and forth filing on the nail. The nail bed is fine that day but the next day it is painful. There’s a sensitive nail bed under there so it not necessarily that they filed your nail bed too much but filing that acrylic or gel on top of the nail bed with all that back and forth motion that is bruising the nail bed. I’ve done it to myself a few times. I knew exactly what I did the second time. The first time I just thought it was from my mail feeling something new but the second time I realized it was because of the back and forth filing. Please keep that in mind all new nail techs. It’s not a practice hand that you can just file away at at will. It’s a human hand and you will cause pain and bruising to that nail bed by just putting a bunch of product on and trying to file it in to shape instead of getting your application perfected. I think it is so important to do these things on yourself so you know how it feels not just that day but in the days after.

      I do my own nails and for some reason I’ve been getting bruising feeling on my nails a couple of hours later and a few days later…and I have been using my sanding/arbor band to remove the dip powder product, which also contributed to the burning feeling…I have so much to learn.
      I’ll be watching this video again and again, and practice and practice more.
      Great video.

      @@sunflower6434I don’t know much about dip powder removal. Maybe a carbide safety bit to remove the top coat if it’s gel and some of the color. A clear base layer from now on to efile down to so you don’t touch the natural nail with the carbide bit. Then use your sanding band for prep and any other stuff that you need to get off the nail bed. The safety bit is nice so you don’t wack the cuticles.

    At first I was trying to go from one side to the other side. Which is what it looks like others are doing when just casually observing at salon or videos. And it was so frustrating why it wasn’t working for me. Skipping off, hitting my “client, going “around the world” and not doing a good job of making it even when I managed to get a full pass without it jumping off the nail.
    Such simple directions change e-filing from a dangerous impossible nightmare into a fairly easy skill to master.
    Research ! Research! Research!
    And start with YN!
    You can do it!

I appreciate the whole YNs team for being patient with us, continuing to repeat techniques every few months to keep videos new and fresh. The team is also innovative with techniques, and it's unfortunate that credit is not ever given. The only one that ever did was Kirsty Mikin!!!!! It was for the reverse french in acrylic

    When doing your own nails do you need to switch the motor on reverse if I am using my non dominant hand which is my left hand #youngnails

    • @youngnailsinc
      @youngnailsinc  Рік тому +2

      if you are right handed and you are e-filing your right hand using your left, you switch to reverse depending on which way your right hand is facing. If that makes sense. If you have your fingers bent downward into your palm like almost making a fist, you use reverse. If you work on your right hand while it is flat facing away from you keep it in forward.

    I am left-handed and every single video says something different about the direction. I heard you say that I use reverse. Does this mean that I use reverse direction when using my right hand also? Or just reverse when using my left hand?

    • @youngnailsinc
      @youngnailsinc  8 днів тому +1

      When you are using your right hand, you turn the efile to forward and work with a right hand bit, moving the bit from right to left on the nail. When working with your left hand, turn the efile to reverse, use a left handed bit and work left to right on the nail. If you are working with a sanding band or diamond bit, these are universal, so they will work for both the left hand and right.

    Ok here is my question and it is multi-layered :(
    I had my nails done and the nail tech was using an EFile. They were using a metal file to remove the gel polish and even though she wasn't hanging around in one spot for too long, the burning I got around the side walls and cuticle area was literally unbearable. My instinct is telling me two things here. 1) That she might have been pressing the drill bit too hard 2) The speed was too high (it was close to 18) but the added layer to this is something I heard a long time ago. About how stress affects the nail beds. I have noticed over the years, that the burning I get (varies between techs of course) seems to be more intense when I am stressed. Is there any truth to the nail beds being susceptible to stress?
    To be clear, I am not a qualified nail tech (yet) BUT I have been sitting in front of nail techs for 30+ years AND I have learned a ton just from you guys alone. This is one of the reasons I am back on board and will be headed for my Nail Tech Cert. I know a fair bit but how can you tell someone they are not quite doing it right if you don't have a certificate.
    Straight up, my salon will be using your products. I am not messing around with other brands. If I can get that cert and then do HER nails....I know it will be a "lead by example" moment for her.

    • @youngnailsinc
      @youngnailsinc  Місяць тому +1

      There are many reasons that could be causing the extra heat on your nails. Like you mentioned the tech may have been using more pressure, a higher speed than necessary, even using a dull bit can cause extra heat. For women, their nails can be more sensitive in times of stress or certain times in their monthly cycle. This is normal and an important thing to consider when doing nails.

    • @youngnailsinc
      @youngnailsinc  3 місяці тому +1

      30,000rpms is kind of an industry standard on a high quality machine, but with our bits and techniques, we never need to run it higher than that. It's important for the machine to have the ability to run higher. If it only went to 15,000rpms, you would always be using it on the highest speed and the motor would burn out faster. By having the capability to run it on it's "medium" speed, it saves the motor. If you think about it like a car, your car is able to run at over 100mph, but most people don't drive that fast!
