Acrylic Removal | Become an Expert with an E-File

[@michie826]

Your content has been a Godsend! And, thank you for always not only mentioning the bits you use but, more importantly, the RPMs for effective results.

[@esthers_nails2472]

It's beautiful to see that Greg walks the walk. His nails are immaculate.😃 I believe that as a future nail technician my nails need to look absolutely beautiful. I will be my own walking promoter always. This is how i have found my nail technicians. By asking where a person got there nails done. In the future I will answer "I did them, need an appointment?" LOL 😃

[@bellacost9131]

The undergrip position causes a great deal of pain! The overgrip us awkward at first but it's well worth the switch! Trust Greg on this one for sure!

[@kateharris7306]

Excited for this one I struggle getting that colored acrylic down to the clear layer

[@pamzile862]

Thank you, you’re a great teacher, I’m 57 and have never been schooled on nails, I’m self taught and have really learned a lot threw YN, again thank you

[@glitzynails1]

Thanks. You guys always save my life. Ever since I started using your product line in my salon, my work has overall improved and lasted so much longer. I’m also gaining speed. The tornado bit is AMAZING.

I'd like to see short nail designs. 90% of the ladies I work on, always ask for short nails. I don't know if its just my confidence but I feel like I make them too bulky as well. Help!! 😳😁

OH yes please that would be very helpful

[@petrooberholster1515]

Yes please! It feels to me as if i hit a wall when a client ask for short nails 🙈

[@elleinadcollection]

Definitely I was doing my mom’s nails and she wanted short active nail and they were definitely bulky 🤮

[@gisttanecarrillo7640]

Short nails are harder for us don’t know why but I’m thinking that maybe because they require less product and if we apply too much, it runs everywhere 😫

[@zoehamilton9993]

Nice! I would love a video start to finish of the trainer hand, especially the nail cuticle area.

[@fozzeeroo]

This video was great to watch. I always thought I had to remove all of the acrylic in order to do a fresh set. Thanks for posting! Keep these awesome videos coming!

[@katrinasheets2997]

Love these tutorial videos so much! This particular video is very helpful and no matter how much you use the Efile it's great to see a TRUE PRO do it. I swear I hear Greg in my head every time I am doing nails...."tickle tickle, pillow, feather feather, what I want to be able to do is...."! You wouldn't believe how helpful it is!!

[@sarahurstbeauty3196]

I learn SOOOOOO much from you all! I can not wait until I can purchase your e-file!!

[@andreakurjata8599]

I do gel nails. The only time I deal with acrylic is when a new client comes in for a fill. The acrylic is almost always lifting so badly that I have to do a complete removal before I can start the gel application. Thank you for the tips and demonstration. I have been thinking about trying a starter kit of acrylic just to better handle people with bitten or ski-slope nails

[@kathytarman2302]

Great video. Thank you for sharing all your information with us. You always make it so I understand what you do. Thank you again for all you do.

I've subscribed to every nail tech and doing nails is my only way out the hood but I do not know how to remove COLORED ACRYLIC From natural nail . Could you do another video the same but with a bright dark toned color like purple or blue .I was practicing on myself and burned my nail trying to get the color acrylic off

[@martinamessenger112]

Love this video, detailed and on point. Thank you

[@patriciagallacher6741]

Perfectly executed!I WANT A VIDEO ON WHEN PREPPING THE NAILS HOW DO YOU KNOW WHEN YOU HAVE ALL THE CUTICLE OFF THE NATURAL NAIL AND WHEN TO STOP BEFORE YOU DAMAGE THE NAIL. I HAVE LOOKED EVERYWHERE BUT CAN'T FIND ANYTHING LIKE THIS. MOST PEOPLE WHEN STARTING NAILS SEEM TO NOT REALISE HOW HARSH THEY ARE AND HOW EASY IT IS TO DAMAGE THE NATURAL NAIL SO A VIDEO ON THIS WOULD BE GREAT, I'M SURE I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE THAT WILL BENEFIT FROM IT EITHER.

[@cmayo5659]

You don't have to remove all the old acrylic...🤔 I have heard you say this, why does my brain reject this? I want to pick the old stuff off, I don't know why. OCD maybe 😁

[@carolynsolis4425]

When rebalancing, and you have e filed the acrylic down, do you add a new nail tip? Or do you use a nail form? Are both possible?

Your always dropping videos of what I need when I needed it.So use 12,000 speed in the beginning?and could I use a medium safety bit to remove instead of coarse?Will this method work if acrylic is on toes?

[@tainacastro7136]

love your videos ive learned so much from watching you guys, my question is how to handle doing acrylic on very brittle nails and how to keep them lasting, my mothers nails always seem to chip even with acrylic , thanks

[@alphaznailsfabulous3182]

Good morning guys, I love your show and how much you helped me, I do need help on foils there's different type of foils and different types of glue that sometimes when it's cured there's some areas that will not gets any foil, please I need help on that thank you so much and have a wonderful day.

Thanks Greg!

[@leanarosario]

If you’re using tips can you still stick a new tip on it after doing everything here ? This video was definitely helpful I just use tips so I just wanted to know 🙌🏼

[@youngnailsinc]

No, you would want to completely remove everything before applying a new tip. When you get to the point that greg is in this video with a little bit of the product left on the nail, then you can soak it off for 10 mins and you should be good.

[@leanarosario]

[@giftstartingpoint7207]

Thanks so much but what if your customer want her natural nails back?

[@youngnailsinc]

Then you can continue to remove the little bit that's left with the e-file or you can soak off at that point.

[@giftstartingpoint7207]

@@youngnailsinc ok thanks

[@dortega787]

If I will use tips as nailforms. I need to remove all the acrylic?

[@aubrianarios1786]

So can you apply tips to that thin layer of acrylic left? Or do I have to soak off the rest and then apply tips

[@youngnailsinc]

you would need to soak off the rest in order to put a new tip on. If you have gotten it as close to the nail like this video it should take 5-6 mins of soaking and then you can lightly buff it off.

[@ilgiglionail7114]

I love you guys video, help me a lot, 👍👍👍🌹🤭

[@youngnailsinc]

we are glad they do, thanks for watching!

[@zoeimlay260]

How do you charge for a re-balance and can you just take down the bulk and fill it and put the Apex back where it belongs or do you have to take it all the way down like you’re doing ?

[@treatsdesignzby977]

This was awesomeq

[@flowergirls5005]

Help!! I'm an over file, especially at the growth channel. They get so thin they end up chipping. I think i do this because the nails never look straight. What an i doing wrong?

[@aquarius8325]

How do you remove acrylic without clipping the free edge to save length? I get acrylic overlays but don't know how to keep my length when doing my own removals.

[@arleenvazquez3389]

What is the best way to remove color acrylic? Clients wants to change color and design every time they come for a refill. I made too much effort doing it with an E-file and got swollen and painful hands. Too much effort for me.😔 Now I'm on recovery of my hands until I can return to the nail salon I was working.

[@youngnailsinc]

We always prefer to remove with an e-file. If they are charging the color that often, maybe consider using gel polish instead of colored acrylic so you aren't having to remove as much product.

[@sweetjessiegii]

If you want to remove the acrylic without reapplying again would you keep filing away?

[@youngnailsinc]

When the acrylic got thin enough, you could soak the rest off for a few minutes and you should be good.

[@curtalaura796]

If let's say I want to apply builder gel after I had acrylic nails, can I leave a small layer of acrylic? I am not a big fan of soaking my nails in acetone and I am a bit afraid to file until I get to the natural nail. 😅😳 I always leave a tiny, thin layer of product behind. If it's not lifting, it is staying. 😅

[@youngnailsinc]

Yes, you can apply Synergy hard gel over acrylic.

[@carolineford3021]

Can and how would you apply acrylic on ridged nails?

[@youngnailsinc]

yes you can, it would be the same as any other nails. just really need to make sure it's prepped well.

[@felicia1725]

How do you keep your e- file clean en Sanitized

[@angelicap.4557]

when you say that nail isnow ready for application, you would put a new tip on top of the thinned out acrylic?

[@youngnailsinc]

If you were going to put tips on, you would need to take the acrylic off completely. When you get the product down as low as Greg did in the video, you can soak it it acetone for 5-6 mins and should be able to lightly buff the rest off.

[@lachatita17]

Why is it that when ppl ask about prices, some ppl always say well it depends on what area you are in? Would this be true please and thank you...

[@youngnailsinc]

Yes it does to an extent, if a person live where cost of living and cost of services are lower than they probably will charge less than someone from here where you can charge 90+ for a full set. However, a lot of people will say that without actually looking to see what other techs are getting.

[@springgates7854]

Quick question. On your site, you have left and right handed bits. I'm right handed and have an efile that has reverse and forward movement. I do my own nails and so, I have to use my left hand to file my right. Do I need both left and right handed bits?

[@youngnailsinc]

I'm right handed and only use the right handed bit even when doing my opposite hand.

[@springgates7854]

@@youngnailsinc thank you

[@annaander37]

How long should acrylic removal on one finger take?

[@youngnailsinc]

I would depend on how thick or thin the product is and how fast you have your e-file set to. One nail should be pretty quick.

[@beckymentha2272]

Can I rebalance with soft gel over acrylic?

[@youngnailsinc]

Soft gel doesn't have the strength & durability to use as a building or sculpting product, so we recommend filling with acrylic or a hard gel product.

[@navi5490]

hi i have a question. i got my nails taken off right? is it normal for your nails to be quite thin afterwards? my nail technician drilled them quite a lot.. i don't think they've been this thin. if not, what can i do to help my nails?

[@youngnailsinc]

You have to keep in mind what your nails were like before you had artificial put on. If they were thin & brittle before, they will be thin & brittle after removal. However, if the nails were over filed or the product was not removed properly, this can lead to damage & thinning of the nail plate. We would recommend using the Fiber Gel to protect your natural nail & give ut a little more durability.

[@navi5490]

@@youngnailsinc thank you so much! i'll keep this in mind! :))

[@mariskakok7383]

Hii... Would you say that this also protects the natural nail from getting too thin? Does it apply if the client has on colored acrylic? Is it faster than a acetone soak?

[@youngnailsinc]

it can protect the nail if you leave a little bit of the acrylic on

[@deanna4664]

Can't rebalance be done without that much removal?

[@youngnailsinc]

yes, depends on what type of rebalance you are doing. If it's just a nude nail there's no need to remove a ton except thinning down the tip

[@sylvianajera7272]

What if I'm doing my own nails?

[@youngnailsinc]

if you are right handed and you are e-filing your right hand using your left, you switch to reverse depending on which way your right hand is facing. If that makes sense. If you have your fingers bent downward into your palm like almost making a fist, you use reverse. If you work on your right hand while it is flat facing away from you keep it in forward.
