I have done both....and to tell you the truth....using a form looks so much better. When I was younger....(a teenager)....I used to bite my nails...sometimes until they bled. As the years went by, and then getting into the medical field......I learned to keep my hands out of my mouth! It's been a long time, but the damage was done.....over the years my fingers healed and my nails grew back, but not like some of the beautiful natural nails that I have seen. Now, I take very good care of my nails and hands. and I have acrylics that I take very good care of....because I watch YN videos!, and because of Greg's awesome instruction. Thank you Greg, for the way you teach, your ease of style, and your unending wealth of knowledge!

Wish I could see your what your well-cared for hands look like now!

Greg is a lifesaver!!

I’m loving these tutorials , you guys are the best teachers

I don’t bite my nails but years and years and years I’ve done nail extensions and I have always ripped them off and it wasn’t until watching this video I realized my nails have become wider at the tip like a bitten nail is!! Omg I never saw that!! Mahalo!!!!

I've ordered several items in the last 4 months and never waited longer than 5 days till its at my door!!!! Never damaged never spills. You guys are doing amazing.

Love watching Greg work!

I FREAKING LOVE THESE SUPER IN DEPTH TUTORIALS!!!! It's awesome how you answer questions like during the video, or you answer perceived questions and previously asked questions 💖 it's so super helpful!!! Thank you so much for coming up with this teaching series AND, of course, the much loved e-file training series. I severely damaged my natural nails (mom related injuries) to the point that three of them were broken more than halfway up the nail bed, then two of them had the middles of the natural nails lifted off of the beds, then my right thumb had tried to pull off the bed, but instead, there were a few layers of the natural nail still attached to the nail bed, and other layers were still attached to the extension (even after e-filling off my extensions, that poor thumb was SOOO SENSITIVE!!!) I was gonna try doing something, like what you're doing here, to repair them or just put on a new set to cover up this hideously despicable damage, but instead I've just been going naked nailed (which I HATE); and now the damage is mainly grown out, so I think I'm ready to do them with confidence 😁 Besides, just watching y'all's super gorgeous sets kinda quenched my nail thirst enough to keep my hands off my healing nubs! Plus, I got a ton of new inspo💖💅

Greg you are the best teacher! Everyone there is amazing but I have to admit I learn the most from these videos from you. Passed my Maryland state board in 1985 and got out of it. Now that I'm retired from my other job I want to do more than just my own for a little extra income. Much respect.❤️💅

Thank you so much for your time and dedication in the nail community I am licensed cosmetologist I’m into more nails and makeup for over 30 yrs you are the BEST !😍😍

I love Nail School!! I have a short nail and wasn’t sure about how to get the form right. This was right on time!! Thanks Greg!!

Yes!!! This was exactly what I was asking to see thank you! I am the one who goes to grab a tip as soon as the nail is super short and bitten because I found sculpting so hard I'm so happy to see this 😊

Love watching you guys!!

omg i have rrally bad bitten nails and around here (montreal) i never found someone able to help me with it like have proper good/natural looking nails, you almost make me wanna learn and do this, to help other people with bitten nails! its amazing i love your videos

Having enhancements are the only way I don’t bite my nails. As soon as they come off and I have all natural nails, i instantly start biting them. It’s so incredibly hard, I’ve been biting them for over 20 years. I’m so glad enhancements are a thing!!

I’m the same exact way, if I have enhancements, I don’t even mess with them which is weird because as soon as they’re gone I’m back at it again. It’s odd how I don’t even crave it when I have acrylic or gel extensions, but I literally cannot stop myself when they’re off. I’ve been doing my own gel extensions and it helps so much! I couldn’t afford to keep getting them done, wish I could learn acrylic, but I’m not fast enough for that 😂

Brilliant ! Greg !

Ur videos r literally the best

Love watching your videos! I have learned so much even after 5 years of doing nails! Thank you, keep it up!!

Love going through all your tutorials ! Learning so much on a daily , Thankyou 🙏

What if the skin is higher in front of the bitten nail, so you can't lay the form flat on the skin? Do you have a video for this??

Woawww....I really love the way you teach... simple...easy and clear. Thank you Greg...You're the best !!!💖🥰 from Rachel Muriel in 🇮🇱

Thanks for your guidance. You are amazing. Please take care

I needed this video! I broke my nail and wondered if I should put a tip on it or try to build it with a form! Thanks Greg!

I never met no one like you Greg wow appreciate you so much also your so handsome ♥️🥰🙌🏾

Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge.

Such a great video and you are a great teacher one of the best l have seen. One thing that I would mention is that you have to be careful when pinching bitten nails as they can lift straight away at the sides if you pinch them too much.

I do my own nails since Covid ( Feb aprox ) started with acrylic--switched to poly gel--much easier for me--my nails are not perfect--BUT is better than being cut again and again, (tried Many different nail salons ) having attitude by every tech, saving $ is wonderful, and not risking covid and infected nail beds. Often the nail files are not scored by the tech --and I have been cut again and again. These vlogs are So helpful--thank You !!!!!

Great video so much information. Thank you for sharing.

Thank you again for sharing your knowledge. Ot is very helpful.

Yes! Doing it on yourself taught me so much! You can understand the perfect amount of pressure and speed. Practice makes perfect. I love my E-file I could not do nails without it! My wrist and hands would just die. 😂 thnx for the great video, as always! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻💚

Thank you so much . Can't wait for the efile video

I bit my nails for many many years... at least 30. I now have normal shaped, natural nails that are long and hearty. But of course have to have a hard gel over top to protect.

Absolutely love the video, the way you explained everything! Fabulous! What do you think about poly gels? Can you build a free edge on bitten nails with poly gels? Are they sturdier than hard gels? Are they as pinchable as acrylic?

Amazing

I would love to see how you position yourself when filing a clients left hand. Being right handed I really struggle using the efile on their left hand

Cool tips

Morning!

Thank you so much for your training I paid for nail tech training and started in Sept. the instructor handed me the book & has me take the test after each chapter but when I ask questions he avoids me or so we will do that later & yet he has me working on clients luckily I've been watching lots of training on KZread " mostly you guys", any advise on getting the instructor to train me. He is sailing building & everything in it business etc. and retiring in 1 year so he just doesn't care. Oh and its a real deal from what I here.

Great explanation 💅👌👍🙏🙋🏻‍♀️🌻I just need practice this technique, I am so afraid to hurt someone with the drill and the file 🤷🏻‍♀️

Hope I’m ok asking I’d love to also see this on a real client bitten nails has I get a lot coming to me with bitted nails

As a beginner, what do you recommend using? Polygel, acrylic, hardgel, dip powder?????

I have bitten nails and idk what I’ve been doing using tips. I’m buying a pincher and learning how to sculpt. I can’t believe I can heal my nails didn’t think it was possible.

I recently got the synergy gel in love! But I don't understand really how far the forms are supposed to go, how do you keep the gel from making that gap from the form and product? Can you also do videos on doing it on your non dominant hand? Thanks to your videos I have decided to get comfortable with an efile and actually do my nails!

Oh! Can you show us your video setup? I want to start doing videos of my work progression.

I love these lessons too. What I am fighting with and struggle the most though that my brush get all junked in acrylic after one nail, so to do the whole hand I need 10 brushes and after that I try to clean them all, but they get destroyed super fast. I watched so many tutorials how to use, them, clean them, wipe them and so on and still no progress - all acrylic just glues to my brush :((((

I really wish you would do tips more I love all of your videos but I use tips with acrylic I just can’t get the gel down I have watched your videos so many times and I still can’t do gel nails

I’m sure people should understand due to covid. Can I just say I will never use a brush again with gel. Your applicators are FANTABULOUS! I have others from other brands. They do not compare to YN! I can’t wait for Black Friday. Please put a sale on them again. I’m going to buy many!! It changed my way of doing gels. It is so much easier using the applicator. Never discontinue them please!!!

The best its been 2 yrs for me with my licenses school failed me but you did not !

I've had issues with gel nail extensions just popping off the nail. Ive tried using more primer or using different primers. Not sure if there's something I am doing wrong or maybe the clients nail beds are just too oily for the gel? I'm not sure. But it definitely has me using gel less on people

Honey I have this problem. Yes not all nail beds are created evenly. I use gels now ...... prep like a fiend,dehydrate, double prime, apply base very accurately, etc etc Practise practise practise the above. Now my gels at all. I have 3 weeks wear before a rebalance etc. Ahhhh problem lifters. I tell you it does my head in. I’m one of those problem lifters.

Can u glue a tip to the built out nail?

Would you charge extra for these types of nail extension?

So I'm watching and all into learning this because my daughters both bite and they are my practice lol so my hubby walks in and all he hears is every morning tickle tickle coochie coo and he gives me a look like he thinks I'm face timing a secret bf or something 🤣😂 it's one of them have to be there moments 😂 but yeah anyway this video is gonna help me soooo much! Thank you

I bite my nails but am allergic to acrylic, would poly gel with tips or hard gel with tips work best for me? Any of your expertise would be appreciated. I also like a more natural length and love french manicured look with square/round. Enjoying your tutorial videos! Thank you! J

I have a lady friend who has eat her nail half off the only way she won’t eat them is with acrylic but I worry about roughing up taking shine and off what would u do

I bite my nails but i do it in my sleep. I've tried a lot of different things and nothing has worked. Ive always had an issue getting nails off.

What do you do if the skin around the nail bulges out? So their natural nails kinda sinks...how do you apply the form?

@youngnailsinc

2 жыл бұрын

You would have to customize your form for a bitten nail. This way your form will fit around that skin and you will get contact with the free edge. Here's a great video to show you how. kzread.info/dash/bejne/qa6mw5eulLnKcco.html

Do you use primer?

Protein bond is a non acid primer.. it doesn’t chemically etch the nail like a traditional primer does. Protein stays sticky.. sticks to the natural nail and then sticks the product. Here is a video on Protein Bond & how to use it: kzread.info/dash/bejne/eY1srdiPe63Sgag.html

How much do you charge for a set like this? Gel set or acrylic set?

@youngnailsinc

Жыл бұрын

You would start with your base price that you charge for an active length set and if it takes you longer than a basic set would, you could add a slight additional up charge, as well as add on for any embellishments or artwork. We recommend charging the same for hard gel or acrylic that way you can choose what to use on your client based on what their nails need and not them picking based on which is cheaper.

You had covered this in like 2010 with powdered way to fix being sculpted.

just a question... wy don't we can't buy Acrygel and Synergie wipe in Israel ?...we can just buy Protein bond acrylics and gel ?...

Also how much would this procedure cost on average?

it really depends on the technician who is doing them. Some techs charge extra to sculpt and others don't.

How would i tell the nail tech i want this done rather than just nails glued on? What term would i say so they dnt look at me crazy.

We would recommend you check with the technician or salon you go to to see if they sculpt nails like this before making an appointment. You don't want to get there without knowing and not get what you want.
