Nail School | Troubleshooting Transfer Foil on Nails

[@jackieann6588]

🌸💗Old video, but just know you’re still teaching us. Troubleshooting accomplished~Thank You So Much❣️❣️

[@barbarafleming1901]

I just got my first set of foils from YN March sale and because I watched this video before using them, they turned out perfect. There's nothing like the satisfaction of something new you're trying working perfectly because someone shared their knowledge with you first. Love you guys ❤️

[@Renmillo]

Hi I just started with foil transfer & I used a cheap adhesive, it worked but I would still like to purchase your product. Do you sell it on Amazon? My name is Cheryl. I’m 69. Please help me out, thank you

[@naturallycreative7545]

You’ve helped sooooo much! I was about to cry! I’m still a beginner nail tech & I have these foils that wouldn’t even come off for me, but it’s working now! Thank u! ❤️❤️

[@vevans8188]

Yea I was getting frustrated like what am i doing wrong 😕 so I was told wrong thanks for this vid it help glad i didn't throw the foil away and I got a lot 😅

[@CSpice24]

Good morning, this was a great video because I kept trying the foil and wondering why it's not working. I kept trying to cure the nail foil polish then put the foil on. Now I see that I don't have to do that. Thanks Greg.

[@aussieaussieaussie9438]

YES! Thank you for saying this, I was doing the same thing! I kept looking at the packaging for instructions to make sure I was using it correctly...

[@noneofmyfriendswatchanime9672]

Thank you for this! My first go-round was a mess lol. I think the timing is the key - I saw another YN “instructor” say to cure it instead of waiting 45seconds.

[@ambersantodomingo5006]

That was my issue! I cured mine and they did not transfer😂 i liked that you can see he doesn't use a lap- just dry time. Much easier instructions!

I've always gotten perfect foil transfers with the YN Transfer Foil base. I have a question though. Would it be possible to put the nail in the lamp to let it dry? I just really want to keep "Sally" from wanting to touch it while also using the timer on the lamp.

[@Casaunlynn]

The timing scares me, it is hit or miss for me. 😂

What if u want to use matte top coat? Or sugar effect? I need to see more videos using designs with foils. My foils just washed off...I got ones that u put under the light then apply foils

[@jacquelinedimattia774]

Awesome foils 💖

[@venidapearce1815]

Can you use 4-in1 gel base (then cure) instead of foil gel? If so, do you have to wipe it after curing or should it remain tacky prior to placing/rubbing foil?

[@youngnailsinc]

Unfortunately, since a 4 in 1 base isn't a product we manufacture, we can't speak on how to use it.

[@venidapearce1815]

[@jennifercutino3243]

[@nicolebarnard2317]

Hi i apply my foil accordingly but when i put my top coat on the foil smudges very wierd am i suspose to cure or dry foil first🤷‍♀️

[@youngnailsinc]

Are you using YN foils & adhesive? And what top coat are you using?

[@lorifaris3825]

I just got that same kit so this helps me but I don’t hav a foil glue what can I use

[@ssego1376]

Thank you just got mine ready to roll. One question, i dont know if i missed it but what was the top coat you used?

[@youngnailsinc]

we like using our ultimate finish gel for top coat❤️ www.youngnails.com/products/1-3-oz-ultimate-finish-gel

[@catpride1323]

Can you use hard gel top coat over foils? I prefer my gel top coat to be hard gel, so nothing can take it off. Will it bond to the foils? 😊

[@youngnailsinc]

Yes, we use our ultimate finish top coat with our foils.

[@catpride1323]

@@youngnailsinc I didn't realize the ultimate finish top coat was hard gel. I assumed because its in a bottle, its soft gel. I was actually referring to the Gloss Top Coat from the Synergy Gel line. Can I use that as my top coat, and it still work/bond?

[@youngnailsinc]

Yes you can also use gloss gel.

[@catpride1323]

@@youngnailsinc Excellent, thanks for answering

[@catpride1323]

@@youngnailsinc Sorry, one more question, is the foil glue available on Amazon??

[@ornella7671]

can it be applied only with the gel? or with nail polish?

[@youngnailsinc]

We recommend using the Transfer Foil Adhesive to apply your foils, however, if you let the YN Polish set until it is just barely tacky but not smudge-able, some foils will adhere to it.

[@RiyaPatel-kj3fx]

if we add a second top coat after using a no wipe top coat which makes the surface smooth, won’t the second layer peel off?

[@youngnailsinc]

It depends on the top coat you are using. With the YN Ultimate Finish, it has a slight "dispersion" layer when it comes out of the light but this will dissipate after about 30 seconds to a minute. If you apply directly over that dispersion layer before it dissipates, you won't have any issues. You can also do just a partial cure of 30 on your first coat and it will continue to cure and bond to your second coat.

[@asmaaftab2792]

Hi what you r using before foil I mean it's jell pain or thinner based nail paint

[@youngnailsinc]

It's our transfer foil base.

[@santiedewaalmalan8531]

Interested thank you for the video. Greetings Santie Malan from South Africa 💅💅💅💅💅💅🌹

[@angichapman7588]

Is the foil transfer a different kind of polish or is it gel polish base coat? I haven't done them yet just got my foils in.

[@youngnailsinc]

The Foil Adhesive is an air dry adhesive that will leave a sticky surface for the foil to adhere to. It is not a gel polish and does not need to be cured in a light, but it is also not like a traditional polish base coat either. It is specifically designed for transfer foil. (edited)

[@itskathrynnn]

I love nail foils and just want to know how they are made! It's driving me crazy that I can't find it anywhere

[@isaurasanabria2003]

What if you don't have transfer glue?.is their anything else u can use to replace the glue in order yo get the foil to transfer onto the nail?

[@youngnailsinc]

Check out this video around 36:23, this may help a little bit but having the transfer foil will work better: kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZoeZfGOPp5p1ntE

Good morning Greg

[@katrinaglenn7561]

Thank u

[@sharonhucherson4722]

Can u used acrylic powder with the foil paper?

[@youngnailsinc]

We are attaching the foil to an acrylic nail here.

[@yvonnajohnson9382]

Is this video specifically for your brand or all brands?

[@youngnailsinc]

Our videos are only using our products. We can't speak on other products as we do not test them.

[@lasheslashes5325]

How do you stick the nail to the mannequin hend

[@youngnailsinc]

With our trainer hands, the practice nails click in to an opening that holds it in. The nail he is working on was sculpted out from there.

[@Sketchcoco]

I dont know if I actually didnt bought foils (but it dissolve with acetone...) every method of transfer has failed for me...absolutely nothing gets on the nail

[@youngnailsinc]

Unfortunately, we can't speak on other brands as we do not test them. Our transfer foil base is an air dry product and you don't have to put any acetone on the foil first. If you do try something like that, we have used our swipe product, but not pure acetone. Acetone melts plastic.

[@aussieaussieaussie9438]

Hey Greg, long shot I know but do you have a discount code for YN Australia? The currency difference is brutal here but I will stay loyal regardless. Thank you for keeping my passion alive and all your tips and tricks. Tracey and Habib too ❤

[@youngnailsinc]

Unfortunately other locations are just distributors of our products and we don’t control them. You would need to check with them on if they have any promo codes or sales.

[@jenniferperezsanchez8723]

I was told I had to cure the foil for 30 seconds is that true? Which means I’ve been doing it wrong no wonder it’s not working out for me.

[@youngnailsinc]

Our transfer foil does not need to be cured. Here is a great video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/lZS7l4xvi6qghtU

[@rosacamacho7442]

Good morning sunshine

[@charlottefoulds8615]

Mine won't stick to it without been cured 🤔

[@youngnailsinc]

Are you using our transfer foil base? Sometimes the drying time depends on the temperature. 45 seconds is a general time. If it's colder where you are working then you may need to wait longer, if it's warmer than less wait time.

[@nailsbyana.carolina]

I need this🙏🤗

[@ashervaughn7961]

Are you going to restock those nail foil designs by chance?

[@youngnailsinc]

unfortunately the animal foils sold out during the last sale and are now discontinued. you can still get some of the floral ones while we have some available 😊 www.youngnails.com/products/floral-transfer-foils

[@lisahickman7489]

Curious…why is it important to work from one side and not the middle?

[@youngnailsinc]

Sometimes if you go from the middle out to the sides, it can crease or wrinkle the foil and you may not get a clean application.

[@SimplySayinSimpleTawk]

So if I’m understanding you don’t have to cure the foil gel just let it sit & air dry ? 🤔

[@youngnailsinc]

Correct😊

[@melissaxo7907]

Wow ive been curing 😳 the struggle has been real with foils lol. I cant find this foil gel on the website i only see the top coat gel

[@weekendnomad5038]

60 doesn’t work for the one I have unless I’m doing something wrong :/ I have GA&EN Foil glue

[@youngnailsinc]

We can’t speak on how other brands work as we don’t test them. Waiting for our transfer foil base to air dry is for our product only. You would need to follow the instructions of the company whose product you have.

[@cherylq7183]

Why is it important to go edge to edge and not from the middle?

[@youngnailsinc]

By starting from the edge, this will allow the foil to sit flatter on the nail & transfer more evenly.
