How Thick Should Acrylic Nails Be?

[@InfiniteWillPower13]

I'm mostly a tactile and visual learner, these classes are great. Thank you.

[@youngnailsinc]

Happy it helped

[@littlefroe3316]

I was worried my nails were too thick; turns out I’ve been right on the money. Thanks guys!

[@NatalieMugridgeNailArtist]

Love this! I always make my nails on the thicker side. I’m always worried about going too thin!

[@youngnailsinc]

Better thicker than thin and breaking

[@michellegriffiths2132]

The way Greg does nails is what I aspire to be some day. He does it with such ease and makes it seem so simple and easy when it’s anything but lol. I just love his work! 🥰🥰

[@youngnailsinc]

❤️❤️

[@ourneonsociety9170]

I'm just starting and I'm looking at him technique and he is just a master ...what level do you obtain after master lol because that's greg I just ordered their product and let me tell you ....it's superior and by far the easiest to work with ...the only down fall I would say is that I can't see it all close up lol lol lol lol but fantastic inspiring work !

[@ourneonsociety9170]

Didn't mean to comment jack though !

[@MszzDee]

Can you do this video for someone with really short nails? I struggle with the thick to thin balance on the shorter nails. Also, what's the proper thickness for encapsulated nails?

[@youngnailsinc]

Same as in this vid just with art at the base. We do a lot of demonstrations of encapsulated on the real time series

[@dizzyrizzi6246]

I’m sure you guys are probably tired of hearing it but you’re freaking amazing at explaining things so clearly. Love your channel. Tfs

[@youngnailsinc]

❤️❤️

[@leighgifford4050]

It seems a lot of us would like to see this same video done for shorter length, also. I am self taught through videos like yours, and trial and error. I love the education you provide. Please consider a follow up to this video for short acrylics/overlays. Thanks a MILLION!!!

[@youngnailsinc]

[@jenniferpeens4062]

I have asked so many people the exact question and got the business card answer. Thank for enlightening me. Now I have the true answer and structure placement all in one video which I can watch as many times as I like. This is awesome.

[@youngnailsinc]

Happy you enjoyed it

[@Denisejohn65NailEd]

[@itsmedee2342]

I’m so mesmerized watching you do nails.Talk about confidence rising to know I can view your tutorials over and over gain the knowledge I need to create well structured nails. I can’t say Thank you enough.💕

[@zaram3932]

[@Raiseyourvibration-nj3xd]

He was made to teach! So easy to follow!

[@youngnailsinc]

Thank you! We’re glad you took the time to watch this video on how thick acrylic should be.

[@zzzCUPcake123]

It’s like you guys can read my mind 😂😂. I was just thinking about this before the vid pop up in my subscription

[@youngnailsinc]

❤️❤️

[@BlingBlingTheBSOFTHEISS]

YoungNailsInc Lol I was just thinking about this and your guys. The camera makes things look so huge

[@2023442]

They can hear our thoughts now. 😯🤣

[@ssc4153]

I am so thankful Greg talked about this. I feel that if a person can master the ability to balance thickness throughout the nail....this is one of the keys to a very well done nail, not only mechanically but aesthetically as well. I have been laser focused on building the right structure so that the nail looks AWESOME, and not like a club glued to a finger. Thank you YN for always putting out fabulous information for us....you guys are loved !💜💙💚💛🧡

[@youngnailsinc]

Thank you for watching!

[@angelitazayas7055]

Greg’s acrylic application is perfection as usual!

[@youngnailsinc]

Oh thank you!

[@brittanyblanco6208]

U have the best nail videos on KZbin. Keep up the great work! 💅🏻

[@kellihennagir6641]

I am currently teaching myself and practicing as much as I can before I enroll in nail school this fall. I CANNOT express how informative this was!!! We get so many opinions on thickness, apex, and c curves that it can be hard to know if I’m doing it correctly. I currently do my own and struggled to file down to the credit card thickness because I just knew I would break them to pieces. (I have 2 kids and 3 dogs!) so I stay at about 1.5 credit card thickness and it works wonderfully. To have professionals and educators back that up elates me to the moon!!! I have way more confidence just knowing I’m not crazy or doing acrylic too think. Thank you thank you THANK YOU!!!

[@youngnailsinc]

Welcome!

[@unknownone1036]

I love you!!!!!!!! And thank you for this free educations. Sometimes even paid educators dont learn and explain this good!! ❤️❤️❤️

[@gloriakois3518]

I'd still love to see a sample of a short, short nail. I'm visual and seeing the structure I think would really help me. My clients tips are just a tad longer than the finger tip. Encapsulating is always fun for me. Thanks, love you

[@youngnailsinc]

Great to hear!

[@Monietheseamonster]

Great Example!!!!! That camera work was amazing too!!!

[@youngnailsinc]

❤️❤️

[@siouxhazeldon2545]

Thanks Greg, this really helps. I've just taken all my nails off & re-done them almond shape. They're not as long as Stephanie's, but I've got the free edge just a little thicker than a credit card. I've got them fairly thin at the cuticle & built up a third of the way from the cuticle to my apex & sloping down to the free edge. I'm so pleased with the way they turned out. Thanks again for your help, I really appreciate it.😊💅💖😘

[@youngnailsinc]

Nice!

[@neldanewlyn2518]

Thanks guys - it's a great talking point and when you're learning and starting out, it's always a back-patting moment when all the nails are done and filed to a great finish ❤️❤️❤️

[@youngnailsinc]

[@Beeppppp14510]

This is great information!!

[@LadyCoyKoi]

This is what I need. I love going to this Korean owned nail salon that does acrylics for nail biters and they usually avoid the credit card thin look for clients like that. I am a nail biter and they actually ask clients if they are nail biters to thicken the tip precisely to combat nibblers. I managed to grow really long nails because of their method (the acrylics they put on me lasted 2 months even with all of the abuse I put those acrylics through). Currently I am learning to do my own acrylics so your video has helped a lot with applying the beads, though I prefer to use my none electric filers. Thank you so much.

[@youngnailsinc]

That's awesome

You guys are amazing thank you for that well explained visual. At school they dont really teach you that at all.I am so glad you guys take the time to share your knowledge with us who went to school but feel like we should have been thaught alot better and not rushed. I feel some of us could have benifet from alittle more one on one.

[@youngnailsinc]

School is great to log hrs, the education you seek after is to perfect your craft.

Perfect, and I'm so glad you've done this video because, i actually disagree with the credit card thickness for the nail extensions, . I do agree a little thicker. I tried it the credit card way, but yes, chipped and cracked. Cheers xxx always a joy to watch.

[@youngnailsinc]

[@amandaashly789]

Currently saving up so I can make a huge purchase from you guys on my birthday (May 1st). I’m not licensed but I only plan on learning to do my own nails. I wanted to go to school but the loans were a lot of money, currently in the medical field and I take care of my mother for a living. Quickly learning from your videos, fast nail shops in NY do it all wrong 😳 my nails always lift, and their designs are always lack luster. Definitely going to keep learning with you guys ❤️

[@youngnailsinc]

Happy you are learning something here!

[@mischievousamoeba]

For me, I always go by the lifestyle of the person I am working on. A credit card thickness for instance looks beautiful and more natural, but only for someone who has a a desk job with no kids for example. I personally do my own nails very thin and naturally, but the the roughest thing I do with my nails is the dishes since I hurt my ankle and quit the gym for a while. For an active gym goer, a bartender, or similar hands on career or a woman with children.. I will do them thicker.

[@mischievousamoeba]

This is honestly why I primarily use YN products, because they are far superior products to work with and it's a breeze to make those adjustments. Some products from other brands are difficult to work with and the subjective adjustments have to be taken care of with filing.

[@youngnailsinc]

Great advice
