“How do two brothers get into the nail care business?” This is the single most common question people ask us. There’s a long and rocky version but we’ll give you the short one. We have our fearless and unconventional mother, Young Salo, to thank. With a single-minded entrepreneurial spirit, she decided to start her own business at the age of 49. She had a passion for the nail industry and we did everything in our power to support her. In the end, this is a family business.
Greg, the older brother, became a licensed nail technician after switching gears from fire fighter’s training. He is energy personified and has a true passion for developing the best professional nail care products and education. Habib is the younger brother. He jumped in a few years later; taking a detour from medical school and a life in music. He brings his own creative mind for business, marketing and strategy. Unexpectedly, we are a perfect team.
Today, more than 20 years later, Young Nails Inc., is a professional nail care manufacturing company exporting to over 40 countries worldwide and distributing domestically to over 3000 stores. We’re respected for our next-level product innovation and education. Our mission is to bring you the best quality products and we’ll show you how to use them with incredible results. It’s really that simple.
Welcome to the Young Nails family!
I would love to see a Real Time of Tracy doing her own nails. It always takes me soooo much longer to do my own nails and I want to see if she has any tips, if it takes her the same amount of time, and troubleshooting for the non dominant hand!
YESSSSS!!! I agree! Please make this video!
@@tashablock4306 I agree with you it would b gr8 2 see that and I would love 2 see her do her dominant hand in real time🤔 I watched her do a real time set of gel tips 💅 after 3 cups of coffee ☕.. It was a gr8 video
True the same tales way longer to do my own
I love doing nails & it's so frustrating doing my own dominant hand it's taken me forever 2get half decent acrylic work done with my non dominant hand omg the issues I had getting my liquid 2 powder ratio trying 2use my left hand 😳🙄... I have found dip is gr8 2do but then it's time 2do my dominant hand 😅 but dip seems much easier then a full set of acrylic nails thats 4 sure.... . I have found that NSI have a dip system called simplicite` & you cure it like a gel polish & it's really good & I have found its quicker then a regular dipping systems & when I'm really lazy I will do SNS/AEON dip ON MY NON dominant hand & then use the NSI simplitie` on my dominant hand the only issue Is 1hand was a tad thicker then the other hand but both dip systems systems work gr8.
This was VERY helpful. When I first started I had no idea what the differences were and the girl at my local beauty supply store couldn't really answer my questions either, so I experimented on my own to see for myself. I didn't know WHY they were different, just HOW they were different, so when I got my alert for this video, I literally dropped what I was doing to watch it, THANK YOU. Now, with that said, I have not tried your slick pour, just another brand, and I quickly realized that my routine with monomer and acrylic powder is not the same with dip powders. Please correct me if I'm wrong... but because it was so much finer doing Greg's "bounce bounce bounce" (lol I love saying that) I was picking up more powder because it was finer then with acrylic powder. Again, thanks for explaining the why. Also, I'd love to see a video on keeping your brush clean during acrylic application. I know that seems basic to ppl who are nails techs and do it for a living, but for us learners being able to SEE what you do with your brush and have it explained would be sooooo helpful. Tracy, your nails looked great in this video!
I’ve made dip using regular acrylic clear and dip clear and yes I find there is a difference in the consistency of the powders and definitely in my application. I love dip. Hated doing gel,always had issues with gel but dip is awesome.
I find dip powder is easier to do marble work with Bc it’s a finer grain. It’s a smoother consistency the application is more fluid. Also it’s beautiful dimensionally.💙
Literally can’t get enough of y’all! Always giving out the best tips !🔥
This was extremely helpful . Now I know how to describe the differences to future clients. Thank you so much !
I don’t use ALL dip as colored acrylic. Usually when I’m reviewing a dip brand on my channel, I’ll test with monomer. One of the main things I look for is that the product will fully cure. Some brands don’t due to the extra glitter or pigment in the dip powder. From a young nails brand stand point, my slick pour cures fully with monomer.
I don't have any issues with slick pour curing, I have had some dip powder that doesn't seem to harden. It seems dry but flexible when applied with monomor to a full cover nail.
I just love how helpful you guys are!!!
Unlike other brands, Slickpour powders works like real acrylics, like a dream!
THISSS!!!!! 👌👌👌👌🥵💨💨
I use regular acrylic as dip powder all the time. It’s cheaper you can color it with mica or chalk. Turns out perfect every time. Don’t let new fool you. They just want to get your $$$$.
Agree, I do the same
Do you have a video showing this
Regular acrylic as in clear and add chalk/mica?
I love the Slickpour system! Beautiful colors ❤️
Also this video is SUPER informative thank you! Can’t wait to try SlickPour one day! 😃
They’ve had it on sale lately girl!!!! I got some and it was a great investment!!
I do my normal nails and after about 2 I use the dip powder to change design and color as dips. I avoid having to refill every two weeks.
I would love if you guys explain the difference between strength powder and ones that need to be cap
How can i identify or know which powder has strength or not
Thank you so much for this video!! Such great tips and advice ❤🙌🏻
You guys rock! Thank you so much.💋
I mix all my colored dip powders with regular clear acrylic powder before use it don’t change the color of the dip powder and it cures w/o issue #nailhack
Thank you for that tip do you mix = parts, txs🤗🙌
Thank you so much for this video clears up just what I needed to know .
This was very helpful and Tracy is funny I enjoyed this teaching thank you
I love ❤️💅 dip powders nails 💅myself and I am so so sooo looking 4ward 2 purchasing a YOUNG NAILS SLICK POUR KIT as I have a Aeon dip kit and there powders are 2in1 and in this video you talk about the VERSATILITY of 2 OR 3 IN 1 POWDERS like Kiara sky powders also I am impressed on how you are willing 2 talk about the difference of Acrylic powder and dip powder they may be in the same family but they do set up/work so different and alot of people don't know or understand this 🤔..
I myself am becoming a nail technician I am learning so much and your YOUNG NAILS CHANNEL HAS HELPED ME SO MUCH!!! SO A MASSIVE THANK YOU FROM AUSTRALIA DOWN UNDER ❤️💅😁🤩🍀🥳😍😍🥰🌹🌺🌸🌷💐
You all are great. I always learn from you. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us.
More real times 😁😁love all your videos ❤️❤️
I feel like I’m watching an episode of “Between Two Ferns” but with 2 tables and a plant! 😂
Stoopppp 🤣🤣🤣🤣
dip powder not good for people who want long artificial nails... its weak... but I love dip for my clients.. long nails i recommend acrylic
Love dip powder with Conversion Base. Still trying to get it to work better with dark colors. I’ve watched the videos, maybe it’s an issue with the light.
Would love to see a video on sculpting nail structure for shorter nails.
Thank you for all of your info and tutorials!
Omg thank you. I’m a beginner this helped a lot 💖
Love the video, but I really want to know the brand of leather kicks Habib is wearing. LOL Love them!
💅🏿💅🏿Dip powder is nice and smooth and easy to use but if you are looking for to do more art designs then go with acrylic powder . I think .
Annnd if you have powders that are to thick cause of the pigment ADD CLEAR! Makes product last longer and will make it less thick
I seriously tell soooo many people it’s essentially a 4 in 1!!!! I absolutely love it!! Hands down most versatile!!! I got some on my last order; a couple seem to marble with monomer.. anything I could try to change to get better results? ❤️❤️🙏
I just love both dip and acrylic they are both Awesome💕💅
Great topic, I was Giotto invest in colour acrylic but I will just get slick pour
Oh, this is information I need!
Thanks guys I learn so much from you guy’s
For dip powders that don't like monomer, maybe add clear acrylic to it first?
We can't speak for other brands, but our Slick Pour (dip) powders are acrylic powders and work great with our monomer. Adding clear powder can dilute the color, but you can add it. To keep the consistency of the Slick Pour and not making it feel more "grainy," we recommend using Under the Radar (clear) rather than our traditional powders as the traditional powders are a more coarse powder and not as fine as the Slick Pour.
Can you do a press on nails with slick pour?
I use dip powder as acrylic too lol, why not it works ! And it can be cheaper thats why many companies are designing 2 in 1 acrylic you can use as dip or regular acrylic
Great Great video!!!! Leaned a lot!!!!👍👊🎉👌👏👈!!!!
I have no problems picking up acrylic powder with monomer when doing petals but when I tried to switch to my dip powder (was running out of acrylic powder ) I realized the under sides of the dip powder were not setting up properly kind of chalky on the under side and was very had to get a decent med to large size pearl with out just having the brush soaking wet in monomer and risk all the dip powder falling off the brush as you lift over.
Not sure if I just need to practice wiping my brush and applying smaller perals with dip powder but it is EXTREAMLY frustrating that I cannot get a good size pearl.
I so badly want one of those YN baseball caps. Hopefully it wasn't just the light, but it looked bright pink.
Essentially, dio powder Can potentially be multi-purpose? You can use it as dip powder but also use monomer and use it as acrylic?
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:

I wish you had more colors of acrylic like you do dip powder.
I am just getting into dip nails. I went to my local store and picked up a kiss nails kit. I liked them and wanted to try another brand, so I went to Sally's and picked up one by the brand ASP. The one I got on the jar said, "Quick dip," then underneath said, "acrylic powder nail color."
Would you say this is actually just a color acrylic powder and not a true dip powder?
Unfortunately we can’t speak on other brands products as we do not test them.
🥰✅🙏🏽 thinks for clearing that up now I no what to do with my products
Is it possible that dip powder particals are more spherical in shape than acrylic? Maybe that's why it moves like a fluid.....just curious if anyone knows.
This was helpful now there powders that come 2in 1
Are all dip powders from all brands a fine acrylic and can be used like slick pour dip system or is this info only for slick pour? 😅 thanks for educating us!
I have played around with different brands of dip applied with monomor, some brands dry but don't harden.
When I first started I was using regular acrylic as dip (clear) it worked fine with resin.
unfortunately, we can only speak for our brand❤️
My suggestion is buy YN brand. They are the best in my opinion 😃
Trial and error, some work some don't. Depends how much pigment/acrylic ratio they have. More pigment and they just aren't going to set
I have some dip powder that doesn't harden when applied with monomor. It's flexible when dry, seems to be completely dry. I wondered if there might be different chemicals in some dip powders.
Yes some dip powders have more pigment than acrylic in them and they just don't set. You could try adding a bit of clear acrylic into them and see if that helps but do a small portion test (like a thimble full) don't waste a whole jar just in case it doesn't work😊
@@Ishtar2419 that is exactly what I did! I mixed some YN clear into my dip powder & that seems to work just fine! I didn't notice any change in color, it wasn't lighter once I mixed clear in.
What was the ratio of clear acrylic you used to mix with the dip powder
@@debbiegolden-alvarez9555 I started with about 20% clear added.
It really depends on how much pigment is in the dip powder.
You can also use white acrylic powder, sometimes it will separate a bit when you use white.
I use small amounts, for example a plastic spoon of dip powder, then clear acrylic on 1/4 of the spoon.
Not all dip powders are the same, some set just fine with monomer.
It's crazy how a little of the dip powder can go a long way without diluting the color.
Good luck!
What about 2 in 1 powder? We have a product out here in Canada it’s called GND & it’s a 2 in 1 powder
What about using color chalk and clear acrylic?
Can I order in the UK as don't seem to be able to recognise my post code on the site please help?❤️❤️
You might need to call customer service and ask for your local distributor. I know the website is US only.
Our website only ships to the continental US. We will link our list of distributors so you can see who sells our products near you. If you don’t see a distributor in your country, simply zoom out on the map until the closest one pops up and get in contact to see if they ship to your location. www.youngnails.com/pages/locate-distributor
Eesh I have so much to learn
Tracy your shoes are so cute, what brand are they?
From my understanding, it’s hit and miss. Many brands say you can’t, and some brands make some intended for you to use both ways but it usually costs more which I get from a marketing point lol asking Google if you can do what you’re thinking of with -product name- is helpful, half the time I can find a video of someone doing exactly what I was thinking and I’ve found a lot of awesome channels along the way, and if there’s not a video then there’s probably a forum thread somewhere about the same thing.
I’m getting ready to purchase a Slickpour starter kit. I really love French tips. How would I do it with this dip system? Should I use a white gel for that?
We recommend using either Whitest White or Paper Airplane for your free edge or if you prefer to use a white gel, you can do the whole nail in either clear (Under the Radar) or your choice of pinks and after filing the surface, you can polish the smile line with a gel polish.

Fillin or rebalance for dip and gel please !!!
I just wish I could get you're products in Iceland 🥺🥺 I love watching you're videos and I really would LOVE to try you're products but can't seem to find anyone that sends to Iceland 😑
What do you think about poly gel?
I've seen videos where people use dip powder with hard gel instead of the liquids. Is that ok? Can someone use gel with dip powder?
Yes they said you can
They did a video of this using their slickpour powders:
ua-cam.com/video/Hk3-6a61lXs/v-deo.html
Here is an updated video of Melissa mixing slickpour with glitter and hard gel: ua-cam.com/video/udS6a--qCKI/v-deo.html
You can, they sell caption conversion, a gel base for dip
@@youngnailsinc I saw that video. Thanks. I guess that's where I saw this technique. Do you ship worldwide?
LOVE!
So If you use the powder and monomer do you have to use an activator? Or does it just dry dry
No, you don't use activator. You are just using the powder with monomer just like regular acrylic.
I am just really confused about a certain nail shape...I see images online that people say coffin is ballerina & ballerina is coffin. I thought that the skinnier the width when you build the free edge is considered ballerina shape? Can someone help? 🤷🏻♀️ I prefer the skinny ballerina shape but I want to know the correct term. Thank ya’ll 🙏🏼♥️
The way i see it is that coffin ⚰ are more angular. Straight lines from the sides of the nail to the free edge. Then ballerina 🩰is more of a rounded line from nail to free edge. If you were to put a ruler next to a coffin it would be parallel to the ruler but a ballerina nail wouldn't be Straight like the ruler
I’m just going to ask it in Twitch, but... I agree with Tracey. Why should I buy color acrylics if I can buy a multi-purpose product like Slickpour? The other part of that question is kinda snotty... Why does YN still sell color acrylics if this is the case? (Someone had to ask...😀)
Good question! I don't recall seeing colored acrylic on their site, just slick pour. However I received colored acrylic in my mystery boxes 😃
We no longer have colored acrylic on our site, just the slickpour powder😊 You can use it with monomer, hard gel, conversion base/top & resin. So versatile😍
Slickpour is expensive for the little jar you get, that's why. I don't have any problem using normal acrylic with resin/ glue. Slickpour jars don't last long if you are using them for dipping and even worse with acrylic.
Love you!❤️
I was told I had to mix my dip powders 3 to 1 with clear acrylic ( 3 clear to one color) to use them. Is that true? Or can I just use them straight out of the jar with your liquid?
we can't speak for other brands but you can use our slickpour dip powder right out of the jar with monomer
can you do a demo video with the info you provided?
Thank you for the suggestion, we will let the team know.
Your next video can you talk about polygels please thank you
unfortunately, we do not work with polygel
If you guys ever add concealer flamingo to the synergy gel line then I'll stop taking the acrylic powder and "making it work" for me 😂😂 I'm obsessed with that color but only do gel for various reasons.
How do you find the consistency /coverage of adding the acrylic to their gel? I've purchased both of their trial kits to test and now only work with gel. But I don't want to waste any of their cover powders bc they are beautiful. I was wondering if it's better to use it as a dip or mix it with gel.
@@conniekariford8202 it works better as a dip. It's really patchy if you mix it into gel unless you make it really thick and basically make a poly gel out of it.
@@tinab7791 got it! Thank you so much!
I feel like this is highly dependent on the nail artist . I had one that would do dip powder as acrylic and I loved it. She left and I got someone else that...well, is sub-par. I've been unhappy with the last three sets.
Hey! Can anyone tell me what the intro background music is? Because that is the BGM that my deceased friend used to giddy-up to and I wanna download it. Thank you!

OK so I need some help I have been using my slick pour powders with applying base coat and then proceeding to sprinkle slick pour powders over the base gel then cure. Some of my clients love it a lot better than actually doing a dip powder system. So what I need help with is what would you call this service?
I still just consider it "dipping".
I mix colored acrylic or dips into cover acrylics so I don’t always have to cap. It’s a time saver and I can get the exact colors I want!
I can’t master the sipped🙃🧐🤨 I stay will acrylic
Can u mix dip colors ?
Yes
Question for Young Nails: I use slick pour with conversion base an top with no problems. Except with epic black. It just chips right off each time... what can cause that?
With epic black because it is so pigmented. I recommend thinner layers and cure each layer a full 2 minutes
Tfs 😃
Hereeee!!
Here
I’m here!!!!! 💋🙌🏽💙
❤️
So can we use slickpor and mix it with builder gel also?
They have a video for that somewhere. I think Melissa did it. I mix it with ManiQ in a jar and it works great.

Would you guys please just talk in plain English for non-nail people? You're professionals and I'm still confused.
Colored acrylic and dip powder are both acrylic powders. Dip powder is a finer acrylic powder that is typically applied using a 4 step resin system while colored acrylic is applied by using a brush to dip in monomer and then the powder combine and harden on the nail.
Since dip powder is a finer acrylic powder, it can also be used with monomer in the same way the regular acrylic powder is.
We don't recommend using regular acrylic powder the same way you use dip powder, with a 4 step resin system, as it isn't as fine can tends to look splotchy when used that way.
