Back to Basics: Acrylic Consistency Nail Tutorial

[@3CrossMom]

I appreciate the slow speed, repetitive instruction and close up filming in this video. For me, this is one of the most helpful tutorials. Thank you for your time 🙂

[@youngnailsinc]

Awesome, thank you!

[@tishmoses3814]

The best yet and I promise I looked at so many but none can compare 😘

[@slimgirls78]

100%.

[@nailedbyed]

Practice practice and more practice, its takes awhile to train yourself on how to pick up the correct bead every time and for every "challenge" that may come along.... If it takes you 4 bottles of liquid and 2 full pots of powder before you start getting it -- that was a good investment in your time as it will benefit you in the long run!! If it takes 12 bottles of liquid and 5 pots of powder, do not worry.... just keep going and learn the product consistency, placement and flow!!! It takes time. They are giving you all the knowledge but it takes effort on your end, you must practice!!!! They could do Fifty - 17 hour long video but if you do not do the work it will not benefit you one bit. You guys and gals are so lucky because when alot of us were learning nails we did not have all the digital tools of today....... we did everything in a class and mostly self taught after that... classes were few and far between and some had no content even though they were 3 hours long or a whole day.... Some videos that are out there that are 3 minutes long give more info than some classes that were 5 hours long..... hard to believe but it is true! For some all we had were pictorials and a small description of steps ON ONE PAGE in the magazines of the early 90's.......... hahahahahah ......

[@youngnailsinc]

For sure!

[@NovaKnowsBeauty]

So very true!

[@rivera_presley]

Thank you for your encouraging words!! Your message has replayed in my mind when I am trying to get the right consistency in Nail School.

[@cm_zunnav6293]

OMG! I feel like I just a master freebie class! Thank you so much for this, I am gel person but will try acrylic after this :)

[@youngnailsinc]

You are so welcome!

[@christinanichole2056]

This is the BEST video out of the 5 million that I have watched on KZbin. Answered soo many question I had and showed all the necessary views and angles that other videos leave out. Thank you!

[@youngnailsinc]

Welcome

[@Lesleerz]

Funny bc I always go back to this video for practice!!!! Sometimes I get lost going back with so many videos but I have this on SAVE! Best video I’ve found helpful!

[@leanawong6744]

Greg you are so knowledgeable, and such a great teacher !!! Thank you for sharing your knowledge 💛

[@myfavs6102]

Working with acrylic is so much fun!

[@Girlsession]

Thank you so much for this video. The style of instruction, the camera zoom, the explanations are just superb! ❤️

[@caramelfrappe7643]

This is something Im practicing now! In school currently for nail license. Thank you!

[@patriciagallacher6741]

Place it at the backside and trust the run,great choice of words! 😂 great video thanks for showing!

[@youngnailsinc]

Welcome

[@roxymamabolo8412]

Hey Greg I just want to say thank you for your videos it has helped me tremendously in doing acrylic nails as I was not able to afford nail school but thanks to you I can now do acrylic nails and make a income from it

[@karmelwarren4717]

The best information on KZbin in my opinion 👍🏽😊

[@Shaaanelle]

Wow I wish this video was here yesterday!!! Lol I just did my nails last night and was struggling! Had me scrolling through the whole channel to find something to watch before I started.

[@youngnailsinc]

Hopefully it helps for next time!

[@lauriekilborn]

So glad Greg, and all the other teachers are incredibly talented teachers. It's inspiring to watch your videos, and you all explain it so well. So lucky for anyone who is interested in learning a new skill whether for their own use, or to be a tech, and of course using Young Nails products. 👍👏🏆

[@sebrinahanna-garcia4506]

We started working with acrylic on practice mats in class yesterday. If it weren't for Greg's amazing instruction, I think i would have been totally lost!! So glad i found you guys over a year ago, and you have been a huge part of my nail journey 💜💜

[@lauriemiller8419]

It’s truly is one of the best videos out there thank you so much for your continued education

[@erikadiaz5580]

You guys are amazing I love watching your videos. Once all this is over I'm looking forward on enrolling to attend in person classes.

[@BlossycakesLLL]

I love this tutorial! It's so clear in demonstrating how to pick up a bead and apply it. As someone who is going to start working with acrylic due to constant heat spikes from gel (I've followed EVERY possible advice to reduce it to no avail), this really helps me understand how to approach acrylic application. It's going to be a Bucket List for me to attend one of your workshops!

[@youngnailsinc]

Glad it was helpful!

[@ellorywoodruff2977]

Hi my name is Ellory and I'm 12 years old I have my own nail desk and just do regular nails but I Just started watching your videos about a week ago and I want to start getting into acrylic nails these videos have helped me soo much!! You really inspire me, THANK YOU!😘😘♥️

[@youngnailsinc]

Wonderful!

[@NovaKnowsBeauty]

That's awesome! I hope to see you with a nail channel one day! 😉🤗

[@fozzeeroo]

I have always had problems with pearl consistency and getting the acrylic to flow without being too wet. I’m not doing anyone’s nails except my own, so this video is a huge help. I’m just really appreciative of the videos you post. They have really helped me learn a lot. Thank you so much.

[@youngnailsinc]

[@manuelashala1863]

[@youngnailsinc]

❤️❤️

[@debbiestubbs758]

I’ve only just subscribed to this and oh what a game changer!! I love it and I am itching to get on with practicing! I have watched alot of nail tutorials but I was still having trouble with the application near the cuticle always starting at the free edge. Having a thick, bulky & often lifted nail. After my practice tonight-no more! I had a nice, neat, flowing product as in your vidio. Starting at the cuticle! Your vidios are so informative & have given me the confidence now I will carry on and persevere in doing something I enjoy!! Thankyou

[@sandhuamrit87]

Your such an amazing teacher and you explain so well I’m motivated to start nails again

[@youngnailsinc]

I'm so glad!

[@kimifossett-herrera7813]

I just learned more about acrylic nails in 10 minutes than my entire time as a cosmetology student.

[@bnailed6035]

I just received my order and I am looking like a little child on Christmas morning #youngnailsinc I have also been in contact with Ray and I have been speaking with Jennelle who has been a Nail Technician for over 30 years and I am so excited to learn and suck all the knowledge that I can.

[@btcrazee1]

I have been watching the videos for a bit, and am now able to sculpt. I am sculpting!!! I noticed I get more consistency. Next I will practice sculpting pink and whites. Thank you sooo much for the time and effort to bring us these wonderfully instructive tools.

Ive learn so much from this channel

[@youngnailsinc]

❤️

[@slimgirls78]

I paid £600+, for a "2-day acrylic course", with a so called acrylic "brand leader" who are touted as "the best" ("nails.fashion.beauty"), each days tuition started late, ended early and included an extended lunch-break. All in all, the course consisted of approximately, 7.5 hours in class tuition. I have learned more in this video, than I did on that course. Thank-you.

[@Claudia-gj7cv]

As usual the best tips. I really wanted such a lesson. You seem to have read my thoughts. You're the best! 🤩

Do you have one talking about finding the right brush for you? I’m not sure which brush is right to use

[@youngnailsinc]

We do not, but we have a size 8 & size 12. The 8 is great for beginners

[@CarlaBatista]

I love your classes! I’ve been learning a lot 😃

[@zandreabutler3077]

Thank you for that information 😊

[@youngnailsinc]

My pleasure 😊

[@vfrasno]

Beginner here! I love your videos. They are so informative and so easy to understand. What brush are you using in this video?

[@youngnailsinc]

Greg signature series, it is about a 12

[@vfrasno]

@@youngnailsinc Thankyou!

[@idrisambrosius5164]

Loved this!!!!! Are you guys making the back to basics into a series like the pro teaches beginner videos? AND. For a beginner, would you say learning to form nails would be a better place to start versus just putting tips on the nail?

[@youngnailsinc]

Yes! Forms all the way

[@fitfournails]

Very helpful video

[@farielovedust5844]

thank you 🙏

[@youngnailsinc]

Welcome!

[@saltsugarbutteryumculinary7577]

I'll say this as a pro: experience is your teacher. It takes practice and repetition to get your monomer powder ratio down. So, don't feel discouraged. It won't happen in a day, or a week, or even months, I'd say at least a year to effortlessly apply and understand product variations, ratios, etc. Use quality products like Young Nails' line. It isn't about the name or the hype, it's truly a revolutionary experience which ensures clients prefer to come to you and pay you what you're worth! 💕💞😉

[@qpinckney92]

I definitely needed this because i waste so much product

[@youngnailsinc]

Hope it helps

[@tinyvanopstal6009]

Thank you so much for this educational video, it has a lot of info, but I still have a question 😇. When using cover pink (sorry not your brand 😏, can't find a distributor in Belgium) I don't get an even color, is that also because of powder liquid ratio not being optimal? I already switched brands but it must be something I do wrong... Would be so thankful if you could 'solve' this for me.. 😉

[@ucheokoye6744]

Thanks so much for shearing

[@youngnailsinc]

You are so welcome

[@robing5810]

Awesome thank you for that

[@youngnailsinc]

No problem 👍

[@aprilmiller7750]

I think you should have T-shirt made for young nails#Trust the run💅🏻

[@youngnailsinc]

lol

[@japonicaferrell208]

Does it matter whether we are draining the tip of the brush for a large bead? Drain the middle of the brush for a medium bead and drain the whole brush for a large bead? Or is it ok to just tap the brush a couple of times as you did in the video and bounce it in the powder 2-4 times depending on the size of bead that we need ???

[@nicolemusasa6186]

Thank you for this video. I have a question though, does the brand of product make things like consistency differ? Ive noticed some color acrylic either doesn’t flow easily or its not easy to move around, hardens quicker than what i see in these tutorials.

[@youngnailsinc]

100%

[@patriciagallacher6741]

Yes the more pigmented a colour the more monomer it absorbs,the nail tips show just did a video which you might find helpful.

[@becling7945]

Thankyou for this video my pearls are good but my cuticle application is not so good will be practicing and watching this video over and over till I get it right

[@youngnailsinc]

Nice
