Do's and Don'ts of Gel Polish Application

[@eboneetigress]

I'm not a nail technician but I can see the flaws pointed out. Now I can be a better consumer when looking for a salon or doing my own polish at home! Thank you!

[@170beth]

I love your videos, I’m training at the moment, but I’ve learned more from watching your videos than I have on my course. The pricing, acrylic application, gel, easy designs, picking up beads, form placement. Thank you for all of your videos, and they’re all free.

[@MaceyPutnam-hd9ic]

I’ve been attempting acrylics / gel polish at home for months now and literally 99% of the “don’t” things you covered in this video I have been doing and could never understand why my polish would run, my thumbs always peeled first (and way before any of the other nails) I could go on and on…!! Thank you so much for taking the time to make this video; you explained things so well.

[@kimtraaan]

The way you talk is so comforting. There’s something about your demeanor. I don’t know how to explain it other than I don’t feel like you’re being condescending. You’re genuinely teaching in a kind and gentle way that makes me feel like I could ask you for help and be completely comfortable and safe…and not just for nails! I just want to hug you!

[@mjaydelacruz8496]

When you watch her videos and you watch us prep the now before application of product, follow everyone of those steps. Swipe plays a huge part in prep. It removes any oil‘s or debris off the nail. Then you would go into Protien bond.

[@asiyyahmullen8777]

Could the nails be chipping because its not fully cured sometimes my gel polish is sticky and im not sure if it because my uv light is old

[@mjaydelacruz8496]

If your UV light is old and you’ve used it for a while that will definitely play a part in your gel not curing right. Are usually pills off. Mouse shells to cure with the sticky residue after curing the recommended amount of time. You would wipe it off with the lint free wipe and with ManiQ Cleanser. 💅🏻🤍✨

[@Stroud713]

Question when doing thumbs you said paint the other hand while the first hand is curing under the lamp. If I'm doing the nails by myself how does that work?

[@youngnailsinc]

If you are doing your own nails then you wouldn't be able to work that way. You would need to wait for your hand to finish curing before you could do the other hand.

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: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fYqbfKmMgK-fh6c

Can you recommend what to do for people who have had an allergic reaction to acrylic. What other products be used and what to do if an allergic reaction happens.

[@youngnailsinc]

Our Synergy Gel system is a true hard gel, not a polygel, so it does not have acrylic in it. However, if you have allergies, you should consult with a doctor or allergist to figure out what you are having a reaction to. A lot of nail products have similar chemistry, so there may be something in both acrylic and gel that could cause a reaction.

Hey I have a question. So I went to my regular salon and told them that I keep lifting but my lady said that is the natural oils in my skin and nails. Anyway my question is even if you prep well can your Nails lift because of natural “oils”?

[@mjaydelacruz8496]

Everybody’s wear the same. Some hands wear different. But honestly there’s not one person I do that can’t go two weeks. I feel the thinner and The more your nails bend the product doesn’t wear as long. Not every but it’s just a gel polish candidate. If you have those kind of nails they should last you two weeks.

I'm wondering the same thing?

[@mjaydelacruz8496]

Protein bond is used instead of primer. That’s what we’re anchor your product on there now. Your dehydrators Swip and that changes your pH balance so you would you swipe before protein bond.💅🏻✨💖

[@girlmyrna7098]

I noticed you don’t wipe the brush along the free edge sides with gel nor polish ??

[@youngnailsinc]

Capping your edges is a personal preference with our product. When you apply the Protein Bond on the nail, this gives a great bond between the polish and the nail, so there is no "need" to cap the edges. Some people prefer the look of the nail when the sides/free edge is capped, but it won't affect the wearability of the nail if it's not.

[@mjaydelacruz8496]

You could only use stain resistant on top of a gel polish if it’s on top of an artificial enhancement. If it’s a simple gel polish service on top of their natural nail you cannot use stain resistant because it will shatter or look like it’s cracked everywhere.

What if we use a non wipe top coat and after we cure the second layer of top coat, the second layer looks like it’s pulling or missing parts of top coat?? I made sure to cover the whole nail

[@thearmchairjournalist566]

There’s many reasons why it happens, I’ve seen a few videos on this on KZbin, try searching for them. It can be because of the smoothness of the gel, removing the dispersion layer, using chromes, etc etc. I’ve seen some techs use base coat under the top coat to stop it pulling from the edges or gently filing the surface to ensure adhesion.

[@youngnailsinc]

Depending on the brand of top coat you are using, you may or may not be able to apply a second coat on top of a non wipe product. With Ultimate Finish, if the second coat is applied, it still has enough "grip" for the second coat to adhere. With other non wipe top coats, the surface may cure too smooth and the second layer can pull away or "puddle" as you are describing. In addition, if you apply the second coat too thin, this can also lead to puddling of the product.

[@angelica9566]

[@deborahparker327]

If they are positioning their hand that way, the tech isn't able to hold the fingers or move them in order to polish properly.
