This video is so helpful!!! I am removing to much liquid from my brush.... No stirring with the brush, it's monomer not soup 😜 dip, tap, bounce bounce bounce..... Great instruction! As always! Thanks 👍

I LOVE your products. I'm a beginner and I started off with other acrylic and by far YN is the best. I tell everyone about your products. I am amazed how YN is for their customers in price and quality. I thank God for your mom starting Young Nails. I would like to meet her one day.

Thanks Greg....you're just an AWESOME TEACHER....a few words on the "heating Up".....you are correct when you said chemistry. When monomer and acrylic combine they start forming interconnected bonds. When it gets to the stage of heating up is when the bonding is at it's maximum. Once this occurs the cool down starts and the solidifying becomes complete. That's in that magical moment when you can "pinch" the nail. Chemistry is just FABULOUS....I guess that's just the geek in me! I always love how you explain pearl size and how to achieve it. I have learned so much from you over the years that I truly do owe you a big Thank You! Keep pumping out those fabulous video's! 💜💙🧡💛💜🤎💗💟💕

As a new Nail Tech two years ago, I tried several different brands to see what worked best. Young Nails is the BEST!

I just love the way Greg teaches! The best in the industry! I'm learning so much more then the training I had! Much love from the UK 🇬🇧❤

So what I'm hearing is... its not the size of the brush that matters, but what you do with it, lol

Its like everytime I'm struggling with something, you make a video about it!!! You are my people, Thank you

I am a new nail tech. I worked in a salon briefly. I do my own acrylic nails and so enjoy your tutorials. I am so thankful that you do these because it helps me learn the proper way to SCULPT the nail. I hate tips and I always felt it was cheating! At my age I do not see myself getting back into the salon but truly enjoy learning from you! Thank you so much for doing these. I wish I was in California to take your classes in person. Love your products! Be well!

THANK YOU!! I bought a size 8 brush to start with because I was intimidated by the bigger ones but then I kept thinking that I was doing something wrong with picking up my beads because they were so small. I think I’ll try a 10-12 now 😁

Happy you are teaching Sculpting. Tips may be faster, but a strong nail is sculpted.

Thank for this information I love using your signature brush but I noticed my application was so much better with the YN started kit brush! This explains a lot ❤️🙏

OMG thank you soooo much for your online tutorial. My pearls were small and dry with my small #8 brush. Because of your instructions on brush size and wetness my pearls are large enough to work with without drying out on me. Thank you again 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽🙂😊🙂🙂🙂☺️😊 Michelle

Don’t know where I been. But u are my favorite guy so far. I had a lot of questions pertaining to this area. U gave me all the answers I needed. From the right size brush to applying beads. Keep up the good work. I appreciate you for being so informative. Thanks again YN

My fave videos! Your videos have helped me perfect my application and I'm so grateful!!

I got the small brush with the kit and it was great but then I found someone selling the signature brush for $10 dollars. I instantly purchased it and even though it was my 1st time using larger than 10 I felt it was better. Now I only use that brush for all of my sets. I feel it's better in shaping the nail in every way. If I ever have to replace it I'll definitely buy it again even at full price.

Thank You Greg. You are Absolutely Fantabulous!

AMAZING!!! You really have e lightened this Brit. I have been removing too much liquid. I'm straight into your website to get ordering. You are an awesome teacher thank you. Keep going please! 💚

Thank u so much Greg. I just bought your signature brush. I needed this video

I really been kicking myself for not buying the signature brush during the last sale. To me YN is the top acrylic. I have acrylics that heat up. I have acrylics that dont self level, they don't even work well with their own systems. YN is the best for everybody. It is extremely workable for beginners to pros. It's truly one of a kind I have never experienced such a beautiful effortless lay.

You have really helped me. Thank you for sharing.

Control the bead ok I got it .I'm a homemade beginner nail technician. I love to do long nail.So I'm thank you for the helpful tips. I can't wait until I can travel to take your class. I'm in NYC. I'm working on my pearl with an size 8. Since june all of my nail fell off. So I said all try to so this myself. Thank you

Thank you!! So informative and detailed!!! First time then I understood it properly.

Great video. Makes sense

This is great.! It’s been a long time since I have done acrylic but I’m playing and wanting to get back into it. This was a great video ❤️✌🏽

Just read the description on here, and now I don't feel so silly for wanting to go backwards since Greg was a firefighter. I was in school 11 years ago for cosmetology and I was rocking it! I ended up pregnant with my son and on bed rest never made it back to school. I landed in an EMT class that got cut short over covid. 🙌 since that, I started building a collection of crappy cheap acrylic and brought out my old hand. It's calming. And now that I know a firefighter went to nails I don't feel so alone 🤣

Thanks for helpful tips lovely super cool

I cracked up when Greg repeated the thing about the tips. The look on his face. I mean come on, anyone who knows would know not to ask. 🤣😂 I'm still laughing

Thank you Greg!! 🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆

Great video. I’m really thinking about not using tips anymore. I love the sculpture look. Also thinking of buying your number 12 brush. I’ve been a nail tech for about 8 years and in school started with a small brush but quickly moved on to a number 20 brush. I love it!! But I’m wanting to get back into more intricate designs. Keep up the good work. Please come to Las Vegas someday. Not a lot of places carry your products and a lot of the nail techs wish stores did!!

after using the brush that comes with you core kit and the first time doing my wife's fill i have confidence were they perfect no, but did I take 2 hrs yes 😀, did my wife said I cleaned and shaped them to perfection yup! so im happy and I use your technique to pick up the bead thats what works for me and will try your other tips before I move to the 12 brush thanks!

#young nails it also depends on the pressure you are placing on your powder if you don't have the correct amount of monomer in your brush 😉 I brought your signature brush and I am really not ready to move up to the size 12 yet and that's ok because I will get there. But like Greg said first master the application with a number 8 and I want to be able to be more consistent with my different sizes of Beads .

Bahahaha I’m so glad you wiped the lens- because I was ferociously buffing my phone screen, trying to clean the haze off of it!🤣❤️

I go back and forth between forms and tips. I get tired of one and switch to the other. Experts (like YN), say firms are faster and the gold standard.

💜

I'm extremely comfortable with an number 8 i don't like using anything else!!.

I noticed that!!! It does not heat up! When filing there’s no heat, when using the protein bond there’s no heat. The one thing I like as a beginner is that the monomer is not strong. My house does not smell for days and it is not that strong. The other thing is there is different setting time in the polymer (powder). Personally, coming from a medical background with chemistry I like seeing the the reaction you created between the powders. I am having problems just using a # 8 doing nails on myself. I am not looking to do nails on others.

I also use an 8 or 9 brush

the amount of times i could have said "THATS WHAT SHE SAID" IS HONESTLY CRAZY lol

I prefer a sculpted nail than tips. It looks more natural to me. And I agree with you 💯 that using tips is cheating. Every time I got my nails done they only knew how to glue on tips and then apply acrylic. I hate that. So now I'm only doing my own. When I get better at it I'll be doing my mom's and my sisters. When my daughter gets old enough I'll do hers as well.

Man I wish I was in your class .. I almost bought another brush just because I thought I needed a bigger brush

#young nails would you recommend learning to sculpt a nails instead of using tips especially for beginners once you have mastered your overlay?? Because I have been thinking about not using tips and going into sculpting from the start as I have definitely done the overlay and I still practice bead size daily

@youngnailsinc

2 жыл бұрын

We definitely recommend learning how to sculpt nails. Tips work great, but there will be times when tips won't fit every client's nails, especially nail biters, so learning to sculpt will be easier in the long run. In addition, when done correctly, sculptured nails can wear longer/better because the acrylic/hard gel is completely bonded to the nail and you don't have the extra layer of glue, which can break down quicker.

What if my client prefers the flatten look? Do I stop at your first step?

No, you explain why you can't give them a flattened look. It's not good for their natural nail nor the enhanced nail.

yes, all of out brushes are pinched

The acrylic is heating up, because they're using another brands monomer, I've been there acetone takes away the heat instantaneously, but it can potentially cause lifting near the cuticle area...Also when too much liquid is used it heats up, and the room temperature also effects this
