MJay & YN I'm so happy for dry pedicure lessons 😍😍😍 in nail school we only got to see one pedicure live due to COVID and it was a traditional pedicure, so this is exciting 🎉
Melissa! This was so educational! Thank you so much, it was very refreshing to see a pedicure performed on this channel! Beautiful color, and simple but impactful design!
Melissa DeLaCruz you look amazing! You are always a beautiful woman and such a talented nail artist! I haven't been watching videos in awhile, and came across this, boy I'm really impressed with the work you've accomplished for your health! Tons of congrats to you!
I just tried gel on my toes for the first time. I much prefer it. The nails glow with shine and color. Looks much better than regular polish and a better topcoat.
That is something I have never had. Manicures look like it would be great. Some day maybe I will get one. You did a great job. Thank you for sharing this.
I cant even concentrate on the toes, Melissa you look so dang good omg! But seriously what bracelets do you wear I love them!! Also...as always, appreciate the videos and learn so so much🥰
Wow Melissa, You LOOK WONDERFUL! I have not seen any of your videos in years. Congratulations! I was so tickled to see that you are so slim. I Love this video. I'm always looking for something new to offer at my nail salon (such as a dry pedicure).
Yesssss a pedicure video🎊🎊🎊🎊 What was the product she sprayed on the clients feet? Will you all sell that next? Will there be gel pedicure (Mani Q, Hard Gel, Gel polish), Acrylic Pedicures? Looking forward to seeing those videos. 😃
By pushing back the cuticle, it will expose the space around the polish so you aren't working right up to the cuticle when removing the gel polish. This also makes it easier to prep once you have removed the gel polish.
I really needed this video months back because I learned the hard way not to let the carbide bit touch the natural nail. Anyone know how long it takes to grow out your toe nails all the way?
i have a lot of trouble with using the efile in regards to the cuticle. i do well until i get ready to remove cuticle overgrowth and the ball bit. are there other bits that are good for this or could you maybe cover the cuticles?!?! i would love that so much!
hi Melissa....huge fan of yours...was wondering at what age have you gotten into doing nails? I m in my late 30 s and wondering whether it s not too late for me to get started with this kind of activity...would very much appreciate a reply on your behalf,thank you so much!
Hello! It’s never to late! I have trained many people and (Nails) for their second career. People in their late 40s and early 50s as well. I feel like they do amazing because they’re loving what they’re learning and doing and they were in really fast. It’s because they’re doing something that they love! I would 100% say hi for it! I have done nails since I was 18. Right out of high school. I love it so much I’ll do it till the day I retire. I say go for it and enjoy your journey!!
@@mjaydelacruz8496 wow....didn t really think I would get a reply....so cool! thank you for the pep up talk! for some reason,nails have always been the one thing in the beauty industry I just can t get enough of....I was thinking if I m getting good enough at it,later on I might try to teach myself or stuff like that...get involved in distribution for nails products for salons and so on...since I ve graduated from economics and know a thing or two about finance :) it might come in handy probably...since there s always the economical aspect of this business :) thank you again for everything!
Thank You So Much Melissa!! You guys are my inspiration. Love your videos so easy to follow and I always learn A LOT! Had a Question though, Can I use any spray sanitizer for the foot?
Hi Melissa! So if a client comes in with old gel polish, do i remove it first and then soak her feet? And after the soaking, can i apply the new one? Won't the water affect it?
I nine times out of 10 do their gel and dry Pedi before I put them in the water. But let’s say they decide to go with gel after they’re in the water. It will be fine you just have to dehydrate the nail plate with swipe.
@@mjaydelacruz8496 I'm a beginner and I asked because in my country noone asks for dry pedi. People always want the damn water 😅 and I've been always so insecure about it, what the proper way/order is.
I have a question, I did these exact toes and my rhinestones, well one from each toe came off after 4-5 days? what could I have done wrong? I did everything the same as Melissa, except I used Ulimate finish to adhere my stones? I don't have gloss. Would I have to remove all the polish to re do them again? or can I re adhere the stones with your YN glue?
When applying stones, we do recommend using a thicker gel to seal them on. The Ultimate Finish may be too thin to really grip the base of the stones. You should be able to just file off the shine from the top coat, cleanse with Swipe and re-apply the stones. Make sure to seal around the base of the stones with top coat to hold them on longer.
@@youngnailsinc Thank you so much, so then I should definitely get some of your gloss gel? I'll try your suggestion but try adding a more thicker coat of top gel to adhere them or apply another coat after the stones are put on top, until I'm able to order the gloss gel.
Seriously Melissa your hair is so gorgeous that’s how I want my hair to be and it’s halfway there. But my roots are so bad because I just had my son 2 months ago and while pregnant I didn’t want to bleach my hair. It’s super thick and a bit longer than yours. But also love the toe design. What color in your polish line would you recommend that is similar because I have a gel allergy ☹️
@@alisassmannshausen6808 We don't have a color quite like French Exit unfortunately. Savage Joy would be the closest in tone but it is a sheer glittery color. Beautiful but not the same. If you put it over white it will look more solid. www.youngnails.com/products/10ml-savage-joy
Hello I went on yo sign up for the August class with Acrylic for Beginners. I do not see it now it was here weeks ago. I would like to know you all are still doing the class? Also, I see like 4 different kits here to purchase, but which one do I need?

Yes, they are. All except for the sanding band But honestly, the included bits are garbage bits. You'll find yourself working a lot harder using those. You can do it. But if you can buy higher quality bits. They make a huge difference!
You can definitely use the efile on the calluses. Just make sure you are using the proper bits. Diamond bits and arbor bands work well, but avoid using carbide bits on the skin. Also, working on a dry foot will "sand" off the dry skin without the bits clogging up.
Pricing can vary depending on what all you are including in your service. What we would suggest is to determine your price based on your other services and make sure you are charging "per hour" what your other services are bringing in. For example, if you are doing a full set that takes you an hour and you charge $85, a pedicure that takes an hour should also be priced at $85.
Gloves are not required. Operating an E file that’s going 12,000 RPMs is dangerous. I wouldn’t be able to work on somebody that had a skin condition anyway. Soap and water does wonders. Wearing gloves is a choice. 😉😊🙏🏻💖✨
I'm old school, licensed in the 70s when sanitation was the standard . I use gloves all the time e-file and hand file to protect myself and my nails as well the client I see so many nail tech that do not practice good sanitation rules, I just cringe. Just how I rock n roll! No disrespect!🤗
Her work is so unclean…. Those cuticles, color aplication basically nothing is done correctly. Guys don’t use this as your source of information. I am not hating but she doesn’t see it? Watch work of some ppl form my country. (Russian). We do wayyyy more precise work.
Thanks for the feedback. Everyone has a different way of doing services that works for them and their clients. Melissa does excellent work. We appreciate you watching.
showing my age maybe, but i remember when dry pedicures werent a thing. this is literally just an intensive gel polish change. that pinky toe especially needed some cuticle softner and trimming...a gel pedi is not a pedi without water either, its just an upgrade on the polish. usually love the videos on this channel but this is terrible work
So nice to see some toes on this channel! Love how you were able to show that a beautiful pedicure can be given without soaking!
❤
Thank you!! 💖✨
Exactly, very informative and helpful. Thank you
Agreed 💯 !!! I never soak anything. I find it so pointless & it takes up to much time.
@@kristinb3093 how do you do it?

Great job! Beautiful toenails!

Thank you! Tracey has great toe nails!! 💖✨💫
I adore Melissa. My fav always. 🥰
Hayyyy Toes!!! Do them toes Melissa🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾 lol 👣👣
Love it! Can’t wait to do some dry pedis ♥️
I need that diamond 💎 cross cut to get that dry skin off and into the folds near nail plate
Yes you do! You will love that bit!!
Absolutely gorgeous!
Ooh love it! ❤️
❤️
Thank you! Happy you enjoyed! 🤩✨
I do like dry pedis more people need to know about it more faster and easier when you work at home and don't have the chair like at the salon
Please a tutorial of your nails Melissa!
😉😁🤩
Yesssss a pedicure video🎊🎊🎊🎊 What was the product she sprayed on the clients feet? Will you all sell that next? Will there be gel pedicure (Mani Q, Hard Gel, Gel polish), Acrylic Pedicures? Looking forward to seeing those videos. 😃
It is Germ-x Hand Sanitizer Spray.
Gosh! These toes look terrific! I love MJay's technique and tips! Pretty feet, Tracey!
Why do you push the cuticles back before you take the polish off?
By pushing back the cuticle, it will expose the space around the polish so you aren't working right up to the cuticle when removing the gel polish. This also makes it easier to prep once you have removed the gel polish.
Exactly what YN said! 😉😊🙌🏼💖✨
I really needed this video months back because I learned the hard way not to let the carbide bit touch the natural nail. Anyone know how long it takes to grow out your toe nails all the way?
Anywhere from 6 months to a year. Depends on your age, medications, health conditions, and genetics!
I toenail takes longer to go out in the fingernails. You can put a coat of base gel and let them just grow out that will look better and feel better!!
@@mjaydelacruz8496 thank you for sharing this with me I'll do this and be careful in the future not to over sand my poor toe nails 🙏 ❤️
i have a lot of trouble with using the efile in regards to the cuticle. i do well until i get ready to remove cuticle overgrowth and the ball bit. are there other bits that are good for this or could you maybe cover the cuticles?!?! i would love that so much!

Love seeing a longer, more in depth video and...feet!! Can anyone tell me what color did Tracey have on her feet to begin with? I love it❤️
The closest would be ManiQ Blue 107.
Thanks😉
Happy you enjoyed it!! ✨💖
Wait so on a dry pedi you don’t scrub the feet it’s all about the toe nails only?
That’s what I do! It’s a gel pedi. Not a water pedi.
🤩love them. How long does a dry ped usually take ?
I book 30 min no more than 45min depending what they’re getting on their toenails! 🤩😁
Thank You So Much Melissa!! You guys are my inspiration. Love your videos so easy to follow and I always learn A LOT! Had a Question though, Can I use any spray sanitizer for the foot?

Yes, they are. All except for the sanding band But honestly, the included bits are garbage bits. You'll find yourself working a lot harder using those. You can do it. But if you can buy higher quality bits. They make a huge difference!

beautiful work her toes very pretty
Hi! Do u use the gloss for bling on hands also?
Yes you can or we like to use clear sculptor as well.
Do you use the e-file for the dry skin or calluses on the bottom of the feet too??
You can definitely use the efile on the calluses. Just make sure you are using the proper bits. Diamond bits and arbor bands work well, but avoid using carbide bits on the skin. Also, working on a dry foot will "sand" off the dry skin without the bits clogging up.
