REAL TIME | How to Apply Full Cover Tips with ManiQ Fiber Gel

[@Amtvenom]

What would y’all charge for this set?

[@youngnailsinc]

A basic set with one gel polish would probably be a 30 minute service, so probably starting at $60 and up.

I'm not a nail tech, I just like playing with this stuff. A friend had a broken natural nail that was going to be an issue because the break was so far down the side. She asked if there was anything I could do and I did pretty much this process with gel and a full tip. Much to our surprise, it actually lasted so long that it grew out eventually!

[@avivamae5171]

I've stated using the fiber gel like this and for fills and as it grows out I eventually use it as a natural nail overlay and it works better than anything else I've ever tried. I have very flexible natural nails and am super hard on my hands doing building projects, gardening, woodwork, dog grooming, etc. The fiber gel is a complete game changer for me, a person who has never been able to grow her nails past my nail bed at all and it's brought me so much joy, confidence and excitement.

[@Dama8D]

Omg I feel so excited for YN real time videos!!!!!!! Please do more 😭 I miss these

[@mbkabdo]

love this method! i definitely don’t want to ever go back to acrylic lol. many nail techs have a full clientele with this gel x method! it’s such a time saver and when it holds up just like acrylic, my mind says why would i do acrylic ever again 😅❤

[@chantellelambertauthor]

I do this technique all the time and have got long wear from them. Longest was 4weeks before I removed and redid them, no lifting either.

[@cai_nwa_ogu]

I use this method with flexible and hard gel and I have been filling them in for months. Tip, add some gel to the extended underside of the nail it reinforces the nail and prevents warped nail extension over time.

[@margi5082]

For those with gel allergies (like me), try one layer of dip powder on the natural nail, then adhere the full coverage nail enhancement with the dip powder bonder. Buff adhered nail to roughen surface and add one layer of dip powder. Buff to smooth surface and polish. This works great for me and lasts a long time.

[@donnastokes-manning6175]

Good idea.

[@SulaimaValo]

I used cheap gel tips and I love this technique, I'm a new nail tech and im very lazy when it comes to my nails. So I always use this method and you really dont need an expensive kit like Apres Gel X, the cheap ones works just as good.

[@youngnailsinc]

[@KhoaNguyen-yr3qe]

If you’re charging someone for a service, then I would go with gel x or a reputable brand. But since you’re doing it on yourself, cheap tips work just fine.

[@SulaimaValo]

Tracy, how do you prep the tips before your client comes in if you don’t know what their nail sizes are? I hear you constantly preaching to pre season your sanding bands and nail files ahead of time for saving time. That’s golden advice! Do you do the same with the tips?

[@youngnailsinc]

When you have down time or an unexpected cancellation/change in your schedule, that's a good time to do all of those things. You can pre prep the whole box when you have time. This way they are all ready for when you need them.

Love this! What would you charge for this service? Could you fill them with acrylic or gel instead? I've been wondering 🤔

[@natashaowens2177]

I have used both on mine. The only problem with acrylic is that it takes a while to solidify when using it to adhere the full tips. Using gel and/or poly gel is faster.

[@theJenhha99]

You can fill with anything pretty much... acrylic, hard gel, soft gel, acrygel, builder gel, etc.... I've got poly gel abs builder gel on my initial layers and then I filled with a builder gel and acrylic poured over today...

[@youngnailsinc]

A basic set with one gel polish would probably be a 30 minute service, so probably starting at $60 and up. Acrylic over gel doesn’t work as well as gel over acrylic.

[@marynino2008]

Curious, maybe I missed something? When you cure the tip to the nail, you’re holding the tip in place. Is that necessary, and why? And how long do you hold the tip in place with your finger (if that’s the case). And if you do do the switch hand method, and you must hold the tip in place, how would that be a time saver? Wouldn’t you have to wait anyway (Again, if you do need to hold tip in place) ? Thanks!

[@youngnailsinc]

You hold it in place so there are no air bubbles when you are curing while waiting for it to stay in place.

[@lorrieholsten2521]

I know this was from a year ago but how is it flash curing if a thumb is over the nail? Do you move your thumb off after a few seconds? Just curious

[@youngnailsinc]

Enough of the light can get around the thumb just to hold the tip in place so it doesn't move when you put it into the curing lamp. You want to make sure you do a full cure, uncovered in the lamp to ensure the product is completely set all the way through.

@@youngnailsinc thank you 😊

[@bethwarren731]

Thank you. Would you do a video on flat nails with full cover tips please

[@youngnailsinc]

Thank you for the suggestion. Since the nail is flat, you would want to use either more product or a thicker product (such as our Sculptor hard gels) to fill in that gap. If you use a gel, make sure to remove the shine from the well of the tip since gel won't adhere to the shiny surface and will pop off. You can also use a pearl of acrylic to apply it. Keep in mind, acrylic or soft gels (ManQ or Fiber Gel) will soak off, but Synergy hard gels will not, so this would have to be filed off.

So a full redo or a complete new set if you will. Sending you big hugs🙂

[@keesimeehan1357]

Tracey top coated all nails and then went in and hand filed the sides of each nail again. My question is wouldn't that then break the seal or protection of the top coat on the sides making it null and void, and making it so you don't have protection on the sides of your nails?

[@youngnailsinc]

With our products & application techniques, especially with the use of Protein Bond, if you file the edges, the product still remains bonded to the nail plate, so you don't have to worry about it breaking the seal.

[@pennybromley311]

10:35 So do y’all recommend fiber gel to adhere the tips or can I use synergy base gel?

You can use the concealer base gels but we prefer to use the fiber gel because then you can soak them off if that's your method of removal.

[@youngnailsinc]

They are available on our website, youngnails.com. We have a big Black Friday sale coming up. Check out our video from yesterday on details.

[@Rumle88]

Sorry if this is a stupid question, but: With this method of doing nails, are you supposed to leave that gap at the cuticle? Tracey leaves a few millimeters between the cuticle and the fullcover tip, but on her own nails its right up to the cuticle (like a hair away from it, but still not touching) so do you have to leave such a big gap with this method? Or is it just because its hard for Tracey to see while filming? It almost looks like its right before a fill. Hope to get an answer

[@youngnailsinc]

When you apply any artificial product (acrylic, gel, gel polish, or traditional polish) you do need to leave a slight space between the product and the cuticle for it to adhere properly to the nail and not get lifting. When you see nails done on video, it looks farther away than it really is because of the camera magnification.

[@Rumle88]

@@youngnailsinc I'm not sure I made myself clear, but thank you for your answer. I know you have to keep that space and I can see in the end results Tracey has it all close up to the cuticle, but what I mean is that the full cover tip she is placing it further away from the cuticle (at least that's what it looks like) do you have to leave a bigger gap between the tip she is using than you do when doing gel or acrylic normally? I hope this makes better sense 😃

[@Tipsbyjen]

I’m definitely going to try this!! I bought some fiber gel for the Black Friday sale and still haven’t used it! (I know I know!) I also noticed that you didn’t put the tip all the way to the cuticle!! I have been doing it wrong! 🙄😬 I can’t wait to try it this way!

[@rociomendoza7539]

Hello! Is this considered gelx? Or gel nails or how would you call this and is this cheaper than acrylic? Charge less/more?

[@youngnailsinc]

We can't speak on other products as we don't test them. These are full cover tips adhered with our fiber gel. You can also fill them with the fiber gel when they grow out. A basic set with one gel polish would probably be a 30 min service. So probably starting at $60 and up.

YN needs a hand held light for flash curing!

[@MotherMagenta]

Hi! Is your handling the nail with your thumb cover the light and less uv?

[@youngnailsinc]

It does a little, but that is nit the purpose for holding it this way. Tracey is holding the nail down like this so that a when curing the nail doesn't move or get air bubbles and then as long as it's cure enough to hold it in place, then she would move her hand and fully cure the nail there. Now we have our single finger curing light to make this step easier. Here is a video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nYXLgop_pJJ6jdU

[@u2bleas]

I used this technique on a client to fix 3 of her nails. I didn't file the inside of the nail, because I wanted them to pop off. Needless to say, I couldn't pop the 3 off. I finished doing all her nails and praying those 3 won't come off within her 3 week fill.
