Synergy is by far the best nail product. Zero lifting (I know, because I’m a swimmer). I don’t have to soak in acetone EVER! I don’t have to deal with smelly application! It’s low odor & easy to apply indoors, without opening any windows or using fans. Stop torturing yourself & your clients. Get Synergy Gel and you’ll find is files easier than anything and it’s stronger than traditional acrylic & soak off type softer gels. Synergy is crystal clear & comes in so many colors. The easy applicator tubes are the best time saver & the easiest way to sculpt a super fast extended nail. I seriously can’t live without Synergy Gel. They even have nude and pink base colors, for attaching full cover well tips, which then cut out the art of sculpting. I can pop on a full set of long coffin extensions in less than 35 minutes, then I have time to add custom art, without running over 1 hour. NOTHING ELSE WORKS LIKE SYNERGY with it’s entanglement magic, where it bonds perfectly with YN Protein bond. The prices are good, considering the amount of product is in those applicator tubes but also considering the time saved, I can’t afford to rebuild every set after soaking & removing it. Instead I do a fill the next time and I have 30-40 minutes to spoil the client with extras & art. The downside, more dust when filing. It’s like snow haha. Honestly with a dust collector it’s fine. I wear a mask although it doesn’t bother me whenever I’m unmasked. I’m very happy with YN products. I haven’t had any disappointments with their products. Their free online instructions are top notch! Everyone can do this! 9if you can paint your nails, you can learn to do your own nails. 🎉 * leaving a layer of Synergy base under any application, protects the client’s natural nails, also leaving a layer of protection for when they want the nails removed. I top that layer with YN fiber gel to let the nails grow out naturally if they’re wanting to go back to natural nails (which rarely happens)

This was SUCH a great explanation of the whole line of Synergy! I 🤣when Karen made the face about Marshmallow fluff. We love it here. Now every time I open a jar of white gel, I'll think of that. LOve this!!

Ok, I literally just text a co worker at my salon a question about gel. I hopped on KZread and this video was at the top of my page. Crazy! Thank you for this explanation right when I needed it!

Love how clearly you explained the different types of gels and their difference uses so simply. Now I know I need a sculptor gel for forms and flex for mixing with glitters.. Oh and the build pink to encapsulate the glitters 😍❤️

Thank you for posting these videos. Even though you guys have tons of videos on synergy gels, I think it’s so useful when you post new videos and teach different techniques. Not gonna lie I have to rewatch your videos every time I do my nails!

This is a great explanation of the gels. I was always kinda confused on what they were all used for, good to know they all cure to the same strength, and just the viscosity is different

Thank you Karen! This made the differences and best use practices crystal clear! Ready to begin using these now! Question though, I would like to use the Gels to make press-on nails stronger and reusable (able to resist acetone if need be during removal, please, share your thoughts in this being successful in theory). Thanks again for this 101 on the gel line!

I'm a DIYer still enjoying my YN black friday haul and I love questions like this because they get me thinking about how else I can explore my products and techniques =) That said, are you talking about using any of the synergy gels to adhere your press-ons to your natural nail? I can see that being successful, however your press-ons should be translucent enough for the gel to cure properly, and you'd need to etch the underside of them to get them to adhere properly. OR: are you wanting to encapsulate the press-on with gel? Again, {Greg is inside my head now lol} you'd probably need to etch the surface to make the gel adhere well. Maybe try doing 1 on a press-on that doesn't fit you so if it doesn't work it won't be a major loss.

You can apply the gel over the tips, just make sure to remove the shine completely from the surface of the tip. Also keep in mind that if you apply product over the whole tip, it can get thicker and may look bulkier than a traditional full set. As for using the gel to keep them "re-usable," if you soak off, the gel is only on the surface of the tip, so the acetone will still dissolve it from underneath. In order to re-use them, our best suggestion would be to use the adhesive tabs as these will allow you to use them and remove with no damage.

Excellent tutorial of the Synergy products! You answered several questions and even a couple of doubts! Thank you so much!

Hi, I have the stain resistant top coat gel when I use it it separates before curing it, I’m trying to figure out if there is a trick to using it?

@youngnailsinc

Жыл бұрын

If it's separating, you may be applying it too thin or on too smooth of a surface. You may need to use a little more product. Gel and gel top coats don't adhere well to smooth or shiny surfaces. Make sure you do not buff your enhancement before applying it and use a coat of Protein Bond if you are going right over the enhancement. If you are applying it over gel polish, make sure to leave the tacky surface of the gel polish so the top coat can stick to it.

Build base is used before we use the other builder gel?

Our synergy base gel needs to be used first. You can also use it over the whole nail after building out your free edge, but definitely needs to be used before building up the entire nail.

There isn't a specific ratio but we recommend starting out with a small amount to get the color desired. A little goes a long way to get the color and you don't want to make your gel too thick. It should still flow and move.

Yes, they are all the same strength once cured. The difference is in the consistency when applying. If it's easier for you to work with a more fluid consistency then flex is a good option since it self levels. If you prefer a rigid consistency then the concealers are good since they don't self level as quickly.

We do not test our products with other brands, so we can't guarantee how well this will work.

Helppppp! So I'm noticing my sculpted nails (any length, XL/XXL almondetto specifically currently)end up on the thicker side. I'm gonna assume it's bc my encapsulation layer(both gel&acrylic) are being applied too thick while trying to create proper structure. I file&shape to a more acceptable thickness but Then adding top coat just makes them bulky again! I did try using ultimate finish as an encapsulation layer rather than build pink on top of my dimensional layers and it came out much thinner. Do you think trying gloss synergy gel would be a good idea? Can I use that as an encapsulation layer&top coat combined rather than build pink&stain resistant? Or can I get some advice- not sure why I want to apply build pink so thick 🤔 is gloss the same viscosity as build pink

@youngnailsinc

Жыл бұрын

When you are encapsulating, it can be a challenge to keep the nails thin. We recommend using the thinner gels (Base, Flex, Build/Build Pink) and when you are layering your designs in, only brush on a thin coat, enough for the glitter etc to adhere to. After applying your dimensional art, then cap with the Build Pink or your choice of thicker gel. Here's a great video to show you how to encapsulate in thin layers, even on a shorter nail. kzread.info/dash/bejne/eWeg15R8ks-feqQ.html

Flex is just like the other gels you can build the nail with (Build, Build Pink, Concealer Pink & Peach, Clear Sculptor). It is just a thinner consistency. If that is what you like to work with, Flex is a good option. If you are working somewhere very cold, Flex could be a better option than one of the thicker gels and the cold thickens gel. Mixing glitter into gel also thickens it, so Flex is a good option to balance it out to keep the gel in a workable consistency.

You can encapsulate glitters or air-dry polish (as long as it's completely dry) as part of the design, but you would need to use the Synergy Base as a foundation layer and then you can use the Flex to build the structure of the enhancement. If you are just trying to use the Flex as a top coat for your traditional polish applications, we do not recommend this as the product would be likely to peel off.

Yes, for some clients who need a little more durability, you can use Synergy Base underneath your gel polish. You can just apply the polish on top of the base if you are happy with how the base looks. Just remember you won't be able to soak off the base gel as hard gel doesn't soak off.

If you are feeling those heat spikes, it may be that you are using thicker layers of product, which can produce more heat. Try applying less product or using the “low heat” mode on our lamp. In this mode, it will begin curing slower & then the power of the lamp will increase to fully cure. You can also start by curing the nails just outside the light for 20-30 seconds & then place them fully under the light to complete the cure without the heat spikes.
