@@youngnailsinc Thanks for replying!

[@robing5810]

Melissa, are you putting the encapsulate on low heat or regular to stop it from moving and are they getting a heat spike? Oh and do you ever have to have them flip hand upside down to keep it from running and help with arch on self level?

[@mjaydelacruz8496]

Yes, i’m putting it on low heat to stop the burning. I personally don’t use a technique of holding it upside down to help create that arch. To me it takes too much time. I’d rather go back and just add a little. They are both correct it just depends on what you prefer to do.😉😊💅🏻💖✨

I’m new to the channel and I’m searching for a good nail tech and I want to know what I should watch out for when I’m getting my nails done and what my nail tech, should and shouldn’t be doing to my nails.

[@carissasnailart1190]

Hi! I was wondering why she used the build pink instead of just Build clear. Is there a difference in viscosity? Or is it a matter of preference? Xoxox

[@youngnailsinc]

It's both. Build pink is a little thinner but it's just a preference of what you like to work with(:

[@mjaydelacruz8496]

I used it for the color. It brings out the colors more that build.

[@wendy4235]

I tend to find that when I get gel nails, it loses its shape much faster than acrylics. Are there any techniques for keeping the tip nice and sharp? I suppose I am somewhat rougher on my hands at work as well.

[@mjaydelacruz8496]

Gel is a softer product. It’s light weight on your hands. I wear gel all the time with a stain resistant top coat. My nails don’t wear down unless I’m hitting them with a file while I’m working on my clients. Try wearing our stain Resistant top coat or our Gloss top coat. That may make a difference.
