The tickle tickle made me laugh out loud 😂😂😂💜💜💜💜 these videos are great thanks so much

[@youngnailsinc]

I'm so glad!

[@milkyway6812]

You comment, name and profile pic is so aesthetic 😳😳

[@Rivera__444]

Great job guys. Greg made me laugh when he said “tickle tickle”😂😂.

[@kiaellis7613]

Very informative and love the direct educational opportunities for nail techs as well as nail enthusiasts…you guys rock! 🎉❤

[@rosielarson4478]

I’m not certain where to write this but this was your most recent video that I could find. You have put out by far, THE best acrylic nail product I have EVER found! I wish I’d had your stuff thirty years ago when I was starting out. I have NEVER used such a fine quality product! It doesn’t lift or crack or break or become brittle. It’s amazing!! NOTHING LIKE IT OUT THERE!!! Thank you! I mostly just do my own nails now and I cannot believe how long they last with your product! I used to maybe get ten to twelve days before the lifting began. Now I have been able to go SIX WEEKS!!! I can’t even believe it. Thank you, thank you, thank you! THE BEST!!!

[@youngnailsinc]

TY so much for the kind words. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@aprilhobbs25]

Very informative guys! Appreciate this one cuz I do sometimes struggle with gel fills..not all the time but, sometimes. Greg has an awesome way of explaining what he is doing and, why he is doing it.

[@michelemccarthy5082]

Love your videos! I’ve done my own nails for years and am learning a lot! Your a great teacher!

[@hawanadamba5885]

I love these videos because they are short and straight to the point... I dont have to sleep through out of it

[@lauriekilborn]

Always enjoy your tutorials, thank goodness for you Greg.👍 Inspiring.

[@kimberlymiller5157]

I absolutely love you guys. I will love to see him do someone's nails in real time and an update few wks later showing how much or if any lifting And showing the infill . That will be an awesome tutorial.

[@aprilhobbs25]

[@maritzalaboy7910]

Love your videos and techniques. You break things down perfectly. Thank you!

❤️❤️❤️

[@Whatsupdiva]

Thanks guys this was so helpful. I just started doing gel nails on myself at home and was a little concerned about how to do a filling oh, so again thanks for this video

[@MiddyBlue65]

Next time I hit the nail shop. Showing them this vid. No exceptions. Thank you 🌹

[@ChristinaVVM]

Thanks guys!! I've been thinking more and more lately about doing gel (I'm about to graduate next week and they only teach acrylic.) so maybe this was a sign!

[@kikitsoukala8843]

Greatest teacher by far

[@elsalongdesign]

The best gel fill vid I found and I watched a bunch!! Thank you so much!

[@jacquelinedimattia774]

Another great tutorial Greg 💖 "Tickle Tickle"....

[@Sisterlisk]

I'm getting my nails done today for the first time ever (gel extensions), so I'm nervous and watching informative videos - thanks for this :)

[@weekendnomad5038]

This was 7 months ago I see but I was gonna say don’t be nervous these are the easiest to switch out or get off.. les damage to the nail and they cure like acrylic

[@fitfournails]

Just the perfect video I was looking for, Thanks so much Greg for sharing your knowledge✨

[@youngnailsinc]

Glad it was helpful!

[@16JujuBee]

I love the way you teach! It's really helpful! I have been doing my own nails for the past 2 years. I've dabbled in everything. What works for me is using clear false nails with the new technique, nail glue being cured under LED light instead of regular nail glue. I then use gel polish over it and do my own designs. I was wondering if I could do this same technique over my extensions and gel polish? I know this gel isn't the same but I figured I could, to save myself time on taking off the false nails, etc? I would really appreciate your feed back! 🙏

[@leannvogt2269]

Thanks for another great video! Look forward to nail school every Friday 😁. But what about when there’s a lot of lifting?

[@destinyaraujo8410]

Thank you guys are awesome I will continue watching your videos i have realized I'm only getting better with more practice 💅💖☝️

[@weekendnomad5038]

I did mine with bottle builder gel today and I’m shook lol so pretty ! (Wiped off zone 2-3 to make sure it didn’t add thickness to old nail)

[@weekendnomad5038]

I love your tutorials always so informative / helpful

[@taimatsuko]

Love this video, thank you so much for the education!

[@LVThN_von_Ach]

Thanx for doing more gel ♥ 💜

[@zs5630]

What is the first bitt that was used to remove the shine.. love your work

[@paintgrl0122]

Thank you for another great, helpful Nail School episode. I always look forward to them. What was the first bit you used? Have looked through your products online and am not sure which one it is. Thanks again! 💅🏻❤️

[@youngnailsinc]

He uses the medium cross cut diamond

[@anniefeng3795]

Can you keep doing fills indefinitely if the foundation is good? Or is there a point you need to file it all down and restart? For those that put color on top of the gel overlay

[@youngnailsinc]

As long as you are removing any lifting during each fill and rebalance you can keep the same set continuously.

[@teresabrinkman7484]

Nice & easy brothers..Had to LAUGH as I noticed you are wearing shorts.." Jimminy Crickets"..it's 27 degress here...!!

[@tamarasharp4311]

Teresa Brinkmam its always short weather in Southern California 😀#anaheimborn

[@jodrysdale3379]

Thanks for the tutorial, I don’t have an e-file so do all my work with a hand file. Would you advise investing in one? You give such good information you should come to England for a master class xx

[@kellyanndean9374]

this is great I want to learn how to do this myself so I can save money!!! it cost too much money to go to the nail salon when I can just do it myself!!!thanks!!!!

[@KeelyMarieSoloist]

Love it! Could you please do some more work with the Caption colours & Top it Off range please, I need some new inspiration for my fab new polishes? Xx

[@youngnailsinc]

Yes for sure

[@feliscatx]

You guys are AWSOME! !!!

[@bbyrooo]

May we have another video on this, but with the precision tubes??

[@youngnailsinc]

Thank you for the suggestion, we will let the team know.

[@bhumikak9720]

Wow...as per needed!! Ty so much, but pls lighten me on whats protuen bond? Is that a dehydrator? And what's primer?? Did u applied base coat just after protien bond??!

[@youngnailsinc]

Protein bond is a non acid primer.. it doesn’t chemically etch the nail like a traditional primer does. Protein stays sticky.. sticks to the natural nail and then sticks the product. Here is a video on Protein Bond & how to use it: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fYqbfKmMgK-fh6c

[@danayeb9019]

Very helpful. Thanks so much.

[@naileditbyamara7451]

I needed this! Thank youuuuu!

[@youngnailsinc]

you are so welcome!

[@Mongolmaaa]

This is awesome. Thank u both. Question - If there’s a minor lift, can u still apply the gel anyway? What will happen?

[@youngnailsinc]

If there's any lifting, you want to make sure you file it off before filling. This way, you ensure there is no bacteria/moisture under the lift that could lead to "greenies" as well as lead to more lifting or breakdown of the nails.

[@desiraesmith3772]

Can you please tell me what speed the efile is on when you are prepping the natural nail?

[@youngnailsinc]

3,000-5,000 rpms for prep and cuticle work.

[@flitzpiepe1390]

So so Good. Thank you lg from Germany 👍🫶🌸🥰😃🥰☀️👍

[@Lkmkl]

Greg/youngnails team?, how do you get your master gel brush to be that oval shape? I ordered 2 blaster gel brushes and both came pointed

[@youngnailsinc]

When you press the bristles out, they become more oval shaped, but you caan bring them back to a point if you roll or press the bristles on the sides.

[@my8yroldlife107]

I just recently bought one of your kits.. it came with an ultra violet optical brightener sealer.. is that just a topcoat and if so do you use it with a UV lamp? And does it have a tacky later?

[@youngnailsinc]

Topcoat... no need to cure in UV or LED

[@krissy6120]

I LOVE you guys! I have a sae yang k35 efile, its size 3-32 for bits, would the young nails safety bit fit this?

[@MSM3M3OND3CK]

He was great 👍🏿

[@amandah2866]

Great video. It's really clear and easy to see what you're doing. I loved that bit you used to prep the nail, is it a Young Nails one? I'm clearly doing something wrong though lol. I use the clear gel and each time I do a fill I can see a line where the new gel meets the grown out gel. Where am I going wrong? How can I avoid this?

[@youngnailsinc]

Sounds like maybe just a bit more blending with your prep, the bits he used were the safety bit & a diamond bit. The diamond bit is great for prep.

[@amandah2866]

@@youngnailsinc The diamond bit is the one I was thinking of. It looked really gentle. I'll have to try blending more next fill, thank you :)

[@randilynn.789]

Thanks guys!

[@avaharris4760]

I've been using youngnails acrylic then switch to gel but I'm getting confused on the build I do the nail prep use the base gel then concealer pink or regular clear build I guess I'm just confused on which build is good for the whole nail

[@youngnailsinc]

You can use different builder gels depending on what you're doing, and what you like... the consistencies are different, and the colors as well between them, but the goals of each are the same. Does that help?

[@avaharris4760]

YoungNailsInc yes thank u I started out with trial kit loved it but when I went to buy the bigger size I got base and clear build and had clients lose them not sure the build is strong enough

[@mommyp219]

Awesome sauce❤

[@Serenityfaith051110]

Can you refill gel nails with a different color or do they have to remove it all?

[@cadiacaine]

Oooppps did I do one step to many? I did base gel, then concealer pink and then gloss, filed it, protein bond again and then finish gel. Was the gloss unnecessary, because I figured i needed the extra protection since I cook and do hair a lot. It came out great but it was a lot of steps. What's ur opinion guys? (Product is amazing btw, no lifting at all!)

[@heidigianno8420]

Do you guys have a economic basic package for starters, I use many of your products but when I get asked what is the price, their jaws goes down! To me is pricey but I like quality, but the girls just starting think is way to much to afford, and if you can bring us a affordable starter kit many many more will be buying them, I love your products and some items are pricey but I rather get what I know and not cheap and who knows! Ok guys just wondering, Lov y’all take care! I love the way you explain every single little detail that makes you unique! Gorgeous!

[@cweaver7429]

What are your thoughts on nail techs that file the gel off of the whole nail when doing a fill? And basically start with a fresh nail...

[@youngnailsinc]

Can be a waste of time and product, but to each their own. Sometimes with certain brands that can be necessary

[@michelefelix5395]

Love it!

[@nelysvabska]

Great video. What are you cleaning it with? Alcohol or acetone? Thank you

[@He4venlywaters]

It's their product called swipe which cleanses and preps the natural nail

[@xuanphucvo4086]

wow ! thank you guys

[@shareebarnes3474]

Great video but what about moving the white line back also.. so it doesn't look so grown out?

[@AcidEntertainment]

Good video. One question, what is the best way to remove the gel polish before doing a fill?

[@youngnailsinc]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/hmKTf42Klp6cj7M

[@rosemary2792]

what about after a few fills when you need to move the white tip back?

[@youngnailsinc]

You will have to thin the nail down and reapply the ombré 😁

[@rosemary2792]

YoungNailsInc easy peezy :) lol do you have a video for rebalancing pink and white hard gel? going to look now....😊

[@rosemary2792]

YoungNailsInc ok I didnt find a video on rebalancing a pink and white gel set

[@c0urtn3ylynn3]

If my client wants regular polish over gel nails, will it last? Do I need to use a regular polish base coat before color?

[@youngnailsinc]

Base isn't necessary if it's over gel nails. It will last, of course gel polish would last longer

[@c0urtn3ylynn3]

YoungNailsInc ty!!

[@Kuku....]

Fantastic

[@trinhpham4177]

Thanks so much

[@jacquelynlomax-jones6426]

What if the client has gel polish over her gel? What steps should I take when I need to remove gel polish... I would end up removing shine from the entire nail, and in this video you say not to remove shine from the tip of the nail...

[@youngnailsinc]

We love using our medium safety bit to remove gel polish.

[@Ela-tu9jc]

Hi, Can we refill hard gel with polygel or vice versa? Thank you!

[@youngnailsinc]

We do not test other products with ours, so we don't know for sue how a polygel would bond to a hard gel. How, since hard gel becomes non-porous once cured, it only tends to bond well with hard gel when doing fills, so it's possible that you may have separation if you fill it with polygel.

[@creamvillanueva6598]

I can't imagine im here right now hehe.

[@yasmeeneloueitti2519]

What nail bit are you using to remove the shine from the nail?

[@kimskuticlesward2944]

Great video, I have questions about your slick pour that I bought , who can I speak to about it. Thanks in advance.

[@youngnailsinc]

Give us a buzz at 800 777 9170 and ask for Ray or Katie.

[@0rignallity601]

These steps can be applied to other kinds of enhancements such as, regular gel polish, polygel, and acrylic?

[@youngnailsinc]

Yes, for any kind of enhancement, your prep will generally be the same, pushing back the cuticles, remove the shine, cleanse with Swipe and apply Protein Bond. Now, if you are working with just gel polish and are changing out the color, you would want to remove all of the old color down to the base coat (leave the base as a protective layer), re-prep and then apply new base, color, top. Since we don't carry a polygel product, we can't speak for that product, but for our acrylic system, you would prep the nail as in the video and just apply a small pearl of acrylic at the cuticle area as well.

[@keshiacollins5296]

What happens if your clients nail is stained on the free edge where the white gel is applied?... do you at that point remove shine from cuticle to free edge before application?

[@taylorlovelace8635]

Why are two different gels needed? For just a cuticle fill? The clear and then the pink?

[@youngnailsinc]

The clear is base gel and you need to apply base before applying product.

[@cookadook]

What about when there IS lift?

[@youngnailsinc]

We will address that in an upcoming episode... in the next few weeks.

[@hannahross911]

I'm sorry but I'm confused about something? Why dont you take the shine off the tip? Won't the new get not stick it to it as well?

[@youngnailsinc]

He doesn't apply the gel over the entire body, so no need to remove shine all the way. Does that make sense?

[@hannahross911]

YoungNailsInc wouldn't that leave a line?

[@cherinuchell4578]

If there is a line, it would get buffed out. You don't want too much weight on the tips.

[@sabrinabennani5691]

No need to apply product on the tip. It's a fill. It will get filled at the end nk need to do it twice

[@jannelle241]

Question if the brush needs to be cleaned what do you clean it with? Alcohol?

[@youngnailsinc]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/a2KVpHioqNVqmNE kzbin.info/www/bejne/oGTdYXmClNufmK8

[@pagalmasala]

Can you do this with builder in a bottle gel too?

[@youngnailsinc]

It would be a slightly different process, and depending on the product, you should be able to fill a set done with builder in a bottle.

[@stacyorick8764]

I could use an arbor band correct?

[@youngnailsinc]

For prepping the nail where it has grown out? If so, yes. We would use a 150 grit sanding band.

[@shannonjohnston8841]

I wish I could see the steps to take if a client had lifting !

[@divm8559]

any specific thing to care about when refill natural nail overlay?

[@youngnailsinc]

just need to be sure to remove all lift and keep product off the skin.

[@ceknott]

Name of bit used for filing after synergies application please

[@youngnailsinc]

This is one of our safety bits.

[@zenoviashaw8332]

how long should it take to complete a back fill

[@youngnailsinc]

It's going to be different for everyone. It would also depend on how long it's been between fills. I would say it would take more time that a fill more less than a full set or around the same as a full set.

[@sonyajones1799]

Hey, you guys. What bit is Greg using?

[@youngnailsinc]

It's our medium cross cut bit first and then our safety bit at the end.

[@sonyajones1799]

@@youngnailsinc thanks, I’m going to order another cross but from you guys today. ☺️❤️

[@78veronlibra]

I'm curious what brush you are using. I think my brush is too large, it's a #4 flat

[@youngnailsinc]

Our gel brushes are also a #4

[@lisaleathers]

Newbie here. Why use two different gels why not just use all the pink?

[@youngnailsinc]

You need to use hard gel base first and then you can fill. Here is a video on why base is important. instagram.com/reel/CqBeBO-O1xv/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=

Is this product a soak off gel?
