The camera angles take the learning to a whole new level! PS Greg is talented AF.

[@NoshkeNailsnplus]

Greg's techniques are like butter and so informative. He's an excellent educator. Sal you are awesome too...great team work.

[@MilagrosMendez]

awesome, I have never used a form yet, just ordered some today. I am 58 years old I have been watching KZbin nail channels for a year now. I started doing my own nails has a hobby I try to enroll in a school but my state do not have student grants and I do not have the funds because I am disabled and live on a fixed income, but that's ok I just continue to watch masters like greg and learn little at a time. Thank you😃👌👍👍. PS I love that nail color

[@jamieevans6948]

So perfect I'm just amazed. Greg once again makes it looks so easy. He's explanation makes him a great teacher.

[@tonitiger123]

I have been doing nails for 20 +years & have always used a very prominent well known nail company whom I thought was the 'best' but after losing faith in their products (slightly snobby attitude IMHO) I have started using your products & I LOVE IT! I have learnt more in the past few weeks watching your vids (& I find them really fun too-I'm seriously not interested in how many fashion shows that other nail companies do. I just want a product that is easy to work with & I don't feel ripped off!) Guys keep up the great wrk I love Habibs sense of humour & Greg is just a wizard with that acrylic brush! x

[@melissagnails7191]

Toni Ball totally know what you’re talking about!

[@totallynotraegann]

I wish I could get full, hands-on training by you, Greg. You explain things with so much detail and in such a simple way. I just know, I would do so awesome with your hands-on training. ❤🇨🇦

[@Jenniferhazlfox]

I've literally learned how to do nails with just watching your videos and practicing on myself and dummy hands! Greg is an amazing teacher, he makes it simple and stick! I've gotten people outside of friends and family to ask me to do their nails, so i'll be starting school soon lol and I just made my first order of your products. I can't wait to try them, I don't doubt the quality at all! THANK YOU GUYS SO MUCH for your videos, you've made me want to take this to the next level.

[@youngnailsinc]

That is awesome!! Good luck in school you are going to do amazing!!

[@karenwalker4476]

Such a Master! 💅🏼Love watching Greg work his magic!💞

Very Nice perfect almond shape nail. Love the color as well. Thank you Greg :)

[@leahcalabro2787]

FANTASTIC advice!!!💅💜💜💜 and Great teaching. Learning from these finer details inspire confidence in our work !!! 🤗💕

[@eviele2200]

My favorite shape! Ugh such a beauty! I will keep your voice in mind when practicing acrylic nails from now Greg thank you! Obsessed with your channel!

[@lc8332]

Very informative in a short and sweet video. Love it as usual👍

[@xXxLanahberryxXx]

That video is a nail technicians stress relief right there.

[@SB-de6eo]

It really is. I've watched this like three times. Haha

[@miadave4427]

xXxLanahberryxXx I want them to come to Arizona whn I get back there. I moved all the way to Michigan to learn how to do nails and I’ve been here for almost 2 years now I’ll be returning home next year but in the process my instructors were let go and I had to teach myself in the end and go to state boards with the knowledge I had and gratefully with the mesh up of everything I learned throughout I passed boards.

[@bernadineb7946]

That's one of the most perfect almond shapes I've ever seen! 😍 LOVE LOVE LOVE! ❤

[@youngnailsinc]

Thank you!!

[@alicianinnes2608]

Ahhhh, now I understand the 'why' behind Greg's 'I-formation' filing technique! This was such an awesome (I'm Aussie, so read that with the accent, lol) tutorial and I'm so glad Greg took it really slowly and completely step-by-step, with detailed commentary. I second the other comments that ask for similar tutorials for all of the different shapes. Keep up the great work Young Nails!

[@youngnailsinc]

AWESOME (with an American trying to do an Aussie accent) ! 😁 Will get more vids on shapes going...

[@jacquelinedimattia774]

Beautiful almond shaped nail! 💗 Thanks again Greg for giving us your knowledge !💋

This is the shape I've always filed my own nails into. I think it's the most aesthetic by far.

[@lydiafitz]

[@sassyminxnails7608]

Another brilliant tutorial Greg. I have been practising those side wall techniques we were perfecting on Sunday with clients this week and it really has made such a huge difference. Total game changer

This gel is wonderful to work with and I have been referring all the other professionals I know that this is a great product, and a couple have gone and purchased the trial kit. Thank you again, we are loving your products!! ♡♡

[@bethsimsbaker9818]

OMG! He makes it look so easy! I could only wish I could build a free edge that perfect!

[@youngnailsinc]

You can

[@SB-de6eo]

Ok so now that I actually watched the video(I was too excited, I had to comment first haha); I really appreciate this video. I watched another video that was basically showing me to file the way you were saying not to. I was ruining the nail. So, I'm really excited to use what I just learned. Might have to go give my trainer hand a new set. Lol Thank you guys so so much!!!!

[@GelsNGemsNails]

This is so incredibly helpful! Thank you

[@amandajarvis7231]

Hey guys! Thank you so much for the “Nail School” addition to your videos, they really do help so much!!! On that note I am in need of HELP!!!! Please!!! Please show proper balance, shape and filing of a round shape nail with and or without form and tip. Since it’s not my favorite shape it’s in dire need of help! Thank you

I'be always wonder why Greg do not pinch nails 🤔 I don't know if with the square he does, but the magic wand tool has a pinch tool and I've never seen him using it 😱 maybe you could do a video explaining the pros and cons of a pinching tool or how to use it 😬😬😬👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 thank you so much for the class ! ♥️

Now I know what am doing wrong when it comes to the forms. Love almond shape.

[@andreakurjata8599]

Love all your videos guys, there are so helpful and informative. I would love to see this using gel though, I always have trouble with the gel going under the form creating a ridge. Also had a question about fills; when you do a fill with this technique do you have to cut it right back and reapply the free edge or can you continue to grow out the natural nail?

[@teresabrinkman7484]

Wicked cool nail ty!!

Thanks it was very helpful!! 🤗🇿🇦

[@m.suranyi3885]

Love your videos! I have one request though! Would you do a video on problem nails when putting on the form is a nightmare for a beginner? Like the nail is asymmetric or bitten or the skin around the nail is hardened and pushes off the form etc. Thanks in advance! P.S. I just finished nail school in Hungary and you guys got me through the exams. 😘😘😘

[@youngnailsinc]

Congratulations!!!

[@jazzygirl24100]

Could you do a complete video on how to do acrylic nails (using forms) from start (nail prep) to finish?

[@shellbellexx3]

Perfection !

[@dragorsi]

Hope there's a gel version because this was so informative! :)

[@youngnailsinc]

for sure we have hundreds of videos here on the channel

[@nailcreationsamanda]

When I do this but w/ Hard Gel my nail looks like the perfect shape BUT when I put gel polish on it sometimes it appears bulky. It's sorta like the slender shape of the tip is a bit wider. Any tips?

[@youngnailsinc]

Some gel polish can add bulk to a nail. Try to keep your layers a little thinner when polishing

[@nataliecary3402]

How is he so good 😱😭😍

[@astoldbycee]

Wow. I need help with this using gel. It'd be so nice getting my shape on the form so i don't spend 3 years filing -.- lol.

[@youngnailsinc]

You can do it!

[@marndabushey8288]

So a client comes in and Can only have 1/4 inch of free edge what should I recommend.

[@hazelmcdonald6567]

Could you do the same for us in gel? Xx

[@harteisjs]

Where do you get practice hand and refills for it.

[@urmystar28]

Great video.......what's the difference between coffin and ballerina shaped nails?

[@loveenalways]

Damaris Dee hey gorgeous there is no difference. some people call it ballerina others call it coffin they're both exactly the same.❤

[@leahcalabro2787]

emony jackson Something I have learned as a nail tech:(if we're going to be technical😃)...They are both a tapered square shape depending on your taste. The coffin has sharper, more chiseled sides with a definite angle coming in from the free edge. The ballerina has a softer look. It's also a long tapered square shape that narrows inwards from the free edge and the sharp corners would be buffed back slightly, resembling a ballet shoe.👍X (@luxnailsbyleah)

[@urmystar28]

emony jackson .....I knew it!!! Lol thanks for answering me
