Every video from Young Nails gets me so excited and makes my day!!!!!!! (Warning, this is a long, emotional comment, lol)👀 When I see who I personally call (& she has a few titles lol) Because she really is the "Queen of Gel" "Queen of Dimensions" & "The Glitter Goddess" I REALLY get excited because I do Builder Gels all the time, and Acrylic sometimes.. But, I know she does gels all the time, as well and she has taught me so much on top of what Greg, Tracy, & Stephanie has, now, I am unstoppable with all this knowledge! But, I have noticed that when I watch different nail channels, all us tend to have a favorite theme we love to do the most, and when I first started a couple of years ago, I got some 3D cats eyes polishes that is a Galaxy theme, and I was so obsessed and I still am! Lol! I have stickers that have Stars, planets, Constellations, etc, and I just love making them with a black background and add multi colored and size glitters and such, but, when, I first saw her doing dimensional nails, I am just obsessed!!!! You not only have a beautiful nail but as they just said, you can move your nails around and it's just SO MEZMERING, & Because it's layered/multi dimensional, it's not like looking at a flat design, so you'll never getting bored looking at them, them, know what I'm saying!? Lol It's like looking into 1 of those huge aquariums, where you move your head and it's dimensional, or looking into a telescope that's pointing into a Galaxy or maybe even a wormhole lol! Sorry for the extremely long comment, but I cant help myself when I type what I'm feeling lol! But, is because of ALL OF YOU FROM YOUNG NAILS, You have all helped me so much with my extreme depression and getting out of that rut of having no desire, no mental or physical will to do anything, and you really all have helped me! Every single day I wake up ACTUALLY EXCITED to go play with all my nail stuff, and make myself beautiful nails while watching your videos!!!! So, thank you, and I love ya all ♥️♥️♥️♥️

Hello Dee!! 😊💅🏻✨

What happens if you file into the design? For example, the piece sticking up - sometimes it file into the design as i feel the nail is still “too thick”. Also, I finish file with a 180 grit, is that considered buffing? I always thought 180 was still quite course. I would also love to see you file these nails and how you shape them! Love all your videos! So extremely informative!

@youngnailsinc

Жыл бұрын

Generally, if you create your dimensional layers thin enough and cap in a clear product, this will encase your design so you don't file it out. However, if you do file too much and remove part of the design, you may be able to replace or fill in areas with glitter as you apply the top coat layer. In some dimensional designs, if the mylar etc is sticking up and you file part of it out, that's ok, you will just seal it with the top coat. When you do your finish filing, we recommend a 150 grit file rather than a 180, especially if you are top coating with a gel top coat. If you file the nail too smooth, your gel top coat may have more of a tendency to chip off.

Beautiful Design 😁

These are gorgeous, only I wish they did a deep orange instead of the red and then drew the jack-o’-lantern face on the ring finger. It would of looked so bomb with the rest of the look. Or maybe that is an orange and my phone is making it look red 🤔, regardless the pumpkin face is a good idea 💡😬.

Moisturiser and make ups can even cause the separation that you are describing,soaps can have certain ingredients in them as well that cause this. I never wash my hands before top coat,don't want to risk any problems! I only ever had this happen to me once before and it was because I touched my face so soon realised the problem was my foundation,rminded me a bit like water and oil as they dont mix,I'm sure you will be able to figure out what it was that caused it but you could try checking the ingredients of whatever it was that you used to wipe your nails with before applying the top coat . I didn't even know that smoking before top coat can cause problems too until a few weeks ago,even smoke residue can cause lifting.
