I just got young nails clear acrylic and I really feel like it has changed my nail game soooo much. I do a lot of encapsulated designs and the clarity and ease of use with no bubble is seriously amazing. Thank u guys for making products that make doing nails less of a struggle ☺️

[@katrinasheets2997]

Super helpful! I can honestly say that the Precision Applicators made learning gel application so much easier for me personally. It really does force you to learn how to float the product and not be so heavy handed. I also used Tracey's trick of using the back end (handle) of the brush for a long time. Once I was comfortable with the movement and amount of pressure to use, I moved on to using the actual brush. I used to get big bubbles all over. But these tricks really helped me. You all are so amazing!!!

[@youngnailsinc]

So happy we could help! Thanks for watching❤️

[@bizouille2237]

We do so much more gel here in Europe than acrylic, so it's nice to have gel content videos. Thx the YN team 🤩

[@krystalfukinmarie757]

Love the way you all teach, I’ve learned so much from each of you! I work with hard gel, not acrylic and Melissa has taught me so much as far how to work with the product! I really don’t think as a beginner my sets would be as good as they are if it weren’t for everything I’ve learned here. Like seriously, even my very first set people were like "😱 mine never looked that good when I started" 😅 but I do see now why I’m getting the few air bubbles I’m getting. I don’t have the precision gel, but I’d like to get some eventually.

[@Curiouspickett]

I’ve personally found that bubbles are inevitable. Even the correct nail in the video had tiny bubbles in the free edge BUT this definitely helps avoiding bigger bubbles that are noticeable, it’s a game changer for sure! If it were possible to have a completely bubble free crystal clear nail, or a way to pop the tiny bubbles, that would be amazing! 😩 absolutely love Melissa and her hard gel videos! She’s the QUEEN 👑

[@Jolie702]

I love these videos. I mainly use gel and find there isnt as much educational and design content for gels so this was super appreciated and great tips!!

Excellant tutorial, I'm more of an acrylic girl and learning gel at the moment and now hopefully I will be bubble free. Thanks Melissa!!! ♥️ it's always fun watching when your on!!! I would like to know how you work with the line of light when finish filing both gel and acrylic or is that even a technique?

[@mjaydelacruz8496]

When you are finish filing, it’s all to the eye! Make sure you turn their hand around to see client profile! That’s how you know if they’re straight or favoring a side.

[@tammyparenteau]

@@mjaydelacruz8496 I'm a lefty and I find I'm HEAVY HANDED (when hand filing) on the opposite of each hand, it's a fruatrated task I've been working on, I wanna turn to my E-file to help. Do you think that would help? I DO wanna get my hand filling down to a minimum - of a minute each finger although right now I'm dreaming haha

[@mjaydelacruz8496]

@@tammyparenteau the e file will definitely help you with a heavy hand. Because really all you have to do is make contact with very little pressure and if it doesn’t work for you! ✨🤩💅🏻💖

[@grandmimm]

Thank-you for these tips, I will definitely keep these in mind, but I was wondering how you would go about removing air bubbles for your gel in the container

You can lightly pull through them to get rid of the bubbles

Could you please show us a cross section (near cuticle, in the middle and at the tip) of a poppit filled with polygel to show where the right proportion of gel should be before applying it to the nail? ❤

[@youngnailsinc]

unfortunately we don't work with polygel

[@afrochinoblend]

What if there is already air bubbles in the gel before applying? How do you get rid of the air bubbles inside the gel?

[@youngnailsinc]

Usually if you let them sit for a while, the bubbles will come up to the surface. You can use a brush or orange wood stick to pop them on the surface. The challenge is to keep from getting bubbles in the first place 😊 If you need to mix your gels, stir them gently & try not to “whip” air into it. If you are getting bubbles in your gel when you are picking up product & pulling a string of it, keep your brush closer to the surface & let the string break away before you move across the jar.

[@kimberlywinans3923]

Is Melissa using the gel sculpter brush or a different one?

[@No7SHAD]

Thank you for the video. I was doing it sooo wrong 🥴😂

[@HeatherHebisen]

I'm wondering how not to get bubbles in my gel top coat 🤔 is it because of heat that I'm not letting it cool down after having it already in the led/uv lamp before applying the topcoat or is is something else please help!?

[@youngnailsinc]

You may be using the wrong pressure or amount of top coat. Here's a quick video that may help! kzbin.info/www/bejne/sH_WhayugZWHgMU&feature=shares

[@mickeyjade2575]

What would I do to get rid of the bubbles in my pot already? 😩 can this create fungus/bacteria?

[@youngnailsinc]

Usually with thinner gels, if you let the pot settle, the bubbles will rise to the top and can pop on their own or you can use a clean dotting tool (or other clean tool) to pop them. Gel is not an environment that encourages bacteria/fungal growth so just having bubbles in your product will not cause this. If there is bacteria on the nail and you do not cleanse it and then apply product over it, this can trap the bacteria and encourage the growth.

[@molicaclardy7747]

Okay i have a question about the gels now when I'm doing my gels at home my ibd or my polygels they look pretty nice on the first day but then the 2nd or 3rd day they start to look really old and peeling and breaking so I really need someone to tell me what I'm doing wrong with the gels thanks

[@karenspier44]

My problem with gel is that it doesn't really stick to my nail. I wonder if anyone had this problem and how they solved it. I have no problem with acrylic just gel. I am a stay home wife and I'm constantly using water. Is that the reason? Any advice?

[@liannen7311]

@@marionhoran9559 you could get away with just base and either build or clear sculpture. But as was mentioned on here. Base gel is necessary to anchor the products properly but creates too much heat to use a thick coat. Build is much thinner and runnier then clear sculpture.
