YN NAIL SCHOOL - GEL SCULPTING FUNDAMENTALS

[@jessica.santillo]

I love how Greg explains everything. It’s almost like he’s really talking to u, taking it slow, step by step, and explains each step in detail so u clearly understand what’s going on before he moves on. It’s really nice. I’m glad I came to YN NAIL SCHOOL today! Thanks Greg!

[@kathrynledrew5937]

Jessica Santillo agree

[@Konstantina.Vaidosa]

You are the best teacher! You explain everything in the best way and they all seem so easy. Thank you!!!

[@anitamurphy2454]

Loving your Protein Bond! I have ZERO lifting after 2 weeks with my gel overlays. Thank you for making such great products.

[@divm8559]

Agree totally. Thank you for such great product

[@ChristinaVVM]

Nice! We aren't learning gel in school so it's great to see teaching videos on it!

[@babycakes13]

Got to looovveee YN... they’re brilliant.. One of my favourite on KZbin..👌🏾🥳✨🌹

[@tamarawilson2096]

Just done sculpted gel with my non dominant hand thanks to your video was so much easier THANK YOU

[@thefairynailmother]

Yet another soooooooper Nail School !! Thank you xxxx

[@thechoandmoshow]

Truly just wanted to say, thanks for sharing your wealth of knowledge. You'll work is impeccable

[@lovestolaugh]

I really liked this video because I've been a nail tech for years, but this was a different technique than I've done before. It makes sense to do it this way so it cures all the way through from top and bottom.

[@leannvogt2269]

Great explanation. Would love to see more videos on gel.

[@LadyEMC2TV]

Anyone else got Christmas 🎄 vibes from the nail 🤓 Greg you are a great teacher 👨🏻‍🏫.

[@diegolegraff9521]

I was just asking myself how in the heck do they make those gel nails and look at you guys nailed it I love it thank you so much

[@danayeb9019]

That was great information. Thanks so much. Just love you guys.

[@sitnspin1819]

I'm inhaling every bit of knowledge I can from this channel while I scrub up the money needed to beg my closest mentor, which is in Yorkshire!

[@youngnailsinc]

lol

[@jacquelinedimattia774]

Excellent explanation....👍 Thanks for sharing Greg 💖💋

[@alicianinnes2608]

What type of gel is used in the overlay? I haven't started using gels yet, so they are completely foreign to me. I noticed that the tip was sculpter gel, then the base gel on the nail plate. Then the glitter mix, then...? Base gel again? Also, I'm assuming that some filing happened before the finish gel coat?

[@pennywilkins7331]

I really love how the gel looks! Makes the color pop...like Crazy!!!💙💙💙

[@juliesolache3122]

Perfect explanation, thank you. Looking forward to more gel!

[@Lizet_Artistry]

[@lesliedanelles_nails5260]

Beautiful! I love these videos, so informative! Thanks Greg!

[@sharicampbell9068]

Thank you for a Synergy Nail!!!!! Appreciate the demo! Now I know what to correct & do better! Think I missed what you mixed the glitter with. Going for a rerun. Please keep Synergy demos coming.

[@aronj1072]

[@nails4theweek]

[@holliesmith4969]

I really appreciate the way you explain stuff. It actually sticks into my brain train lol.

[@magdamarianardone9969]

Thanks for the video guys. I only do my own nails having learnt off internet. Will try this way next.

[@thewanderingginger871]

Nail career education just put out a similar video with VERY different techniques. I really enjoyed this version!

[@jenny9343]

Gypsy Ginger mostly because its a different brand so their steps are a little bit different

[@GelsNGemsNails]

Great tips! I learn so much from these videos, thank you

[@yoenen9948]

Thank you Greg. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[@venitahlitty9511]

Love love great teaching and nail work!♡

[@jpeterson2150]

Did I see that right? No filing at all? Damn!

[@WeGoJaiye]

Jenna Peterson yes I've found that their gels are really self leveling even the sculpture gels too. Minimal filing for me

[@kathykov1]

Jenna, he had to have filed. The shape was more precise afterwards.

[@kimrandall-flores6794]

Nevermind my last request, I just found this one! 💜 You guys are awesome!

[@tsaiyana]

that glitter mixture is gorgeous

[@yamileth-perez-nails]

Love love your protein bond!!!!!!!!! 😘😘😘😘😘😘😘

[@judidios]

Thanks now i understand why, my tip always come when i take my nail forms. 💞

[@kimberlymiller5157]

Thank you so much for teaching us all your techniques. Im learning how to work with gel now . Yesterday while practicing I built the perfect thin free edge but as soon as I took off the form it cracked And now I know why because I did my base coat before I built the free edge lol

[@tamarasharp4311]

When doing a reverse application gel pink and white do you clear sculptor then white then a clear build over both the pink and white? THANKS FOR NAIL SCHOOL SERIOUSLY LOVE EVERYTHING YOUNG NAILS!! #stayingloyal

[@janecotelos2240]

You are the master!! 😁👍💅

[@jamiebaker8411]

I learn so much every video

[@MsJillypie]

Thanks for posting a gel video! Please do more gel! What did he use to mix the glitter in?

[@gingersowers8315]

I have just now found your channel. And I'm in love. You explain everything in a way everyone can understand why certain steps are critical to have a sturdy nail.. I've just started trying to do my own nails at home. I'm disabled and live on a scary haunted budget. $780.00 a month. (Enough to barely pay my light bill). And do without everything else. So I'm trying to do everything cheap but not waste the few spare dollars I have on products that are useless. I live in NC. Do you have any very cheap but good product ideas you can pass my way. I suck at everything but doing gel. Any help will be absolutely appreciated and listened to fully. Thanks for your great videos.

[@youngnailsinc]

We have very affordable trial kits available on the website. Thanks for watching the videos

[@natashamaxwell9206]

Great lesson today! ❤️💅

[@pattiespolishcorner3274]

Yay! Maybe I can try this the next time I break a nail. Lol although I hope that never happens again, but more than likely it will. Great video.

[@beautifulyou4929]

Extremely helpful, thank you! X

[@laj1285]

Great explanation. Thank you

[@lorrisadonahue5867]

Do you need to have a different brush for base gel and sculpting gel?

[@youngnailsinc]

nope

[@emdee20817]

I had them ripped multiple times...thank you for the tips!

[@niohmabenjamin6488]

Please. I would love to know the difference between a builder gel and hard gel and the acry gel?

[@krissy6120]

Im just back at college for my second year learning gel extensions ..thanks for the info..I do struggle with sculpts. I notice you use paper forms here, we are taught to use the clear gel forms.which I cannot get the hang of!! They always open when under the lamp and they never fit snug under the nail, I am always left with a ledge when I place my white at the free edge..Do i need to use the clear gel forms or is it possible to use the paper ones I use for acrylic?

[@rj3892]

Nails by Krissy hey there I definitely prefer paper forms for gel, those plastic ones are so impossible! My favorite forms are the Nail Harmony forms- they're more expensive than the basic gold ones but cut my sculpting and filing time in half ;) Check out ebay I think they're about $10 for 100.

[@krissy6120]

Thanks soo much for info!! I heading straight to ebay!

[@boutiek24]

Try stapling them together.. And if your out don't buy them again😂

[@krissy6120]

haha..good sound advice Boutie24 Borne!

[@chockpea]

Hi there- just curious, are the Nail Harmony forms thicker/stronger and have larger tabs underneath? I never understood why I always have a ledge under the nail with the gold ones grrrr. x

[@teresaquesada2409]

Wow so beautiful 😍 I love you’ll guys videos 👌💅

[@emilydiaz6608]

What do you suggest for people who are alergic to acrylic nails? What would be a good suggestion for them to get their nails done?

[@grissellolmeda4312]

Hi Greg! What type of gel did you use after the glitter? Was that Base gel too?

[@kimlagrange3464]

I’m wondering also….

[@shllewis9]

Can you do the base get out the bottle over the sculpture nail...also would you ever train here in St. Louis?

[@lizg8880]

Would I be able to sub build for clear to create this look?. I just purchased protein bond as well as the base gel and build gel, thinking I could use build gel to create free edge and sculpted looks new to the products thankful for the video

[@youngnailsinc]

Yep you can

[@lizg8880]

Thank you excited to practice new looks Using this product.

[@carriesullivan863]

Greg knows his shizz!!!

[@ebonypainter9274]

So sculpting gel is for the free edge panda base gel for all over?

[@violetpolack8630]

Sorry if this sounds stupid. But, why does the free edge need to cure from underneath? The nail bed does not cure from underneath. Thank you.

[@paolatasaico6101]

Thank you for teach us!

[@debrapierce1964]

With your new products does this still apply or do the new sculpting in a tube allow u to use over the entire nail. I’m getting my nerve up to do my first sculpted nail with a form don’t want to mess up if I don’t have to find out the hard way

[@Bbgirlbajolaluna]

Great as always!!

[@TheHen49]

Can I use clear builder gel on the whole nail?

[@annekern5892]

Is it possible to over cure? When you get heat spikes does it damage the nail bed?

[@peaceonearth7223]

how long does it take to complete a whole set of gel sculpting? from nail prep to finish? Do you have to do a manicure? please help. Thank you

[@youngnailsinc]

Within an hour is solid, we train to do under an hour... even some in 30.

[@divm8559]

how many full sets manicures does your starter kit with 7 gms jars give?

[@gwenjuju3853]

Oh my..You don't need to file the nail smooth!! That's already look perfectly smooth!😶

[@DarlingKaya]

would the sculpting gel not need the base underneath it for it to keep stuck on the natural nail? =) the free edge gel i mean

[@rheaglover1501]

Awesome tutorials

[@youngnailsinc]

❤️❤️

[@tamaraturnbull1968]

What was the clear gel Greg used after he applied the gel? It wasn't sculpter was it?

[@aussieaussieaussie9438]

Question... kinda Wouldn't you put the base on the nail plate first and cure it so the tiny bit of the extension that connects to the free edge has something to adhere to? Love, this overthinking Aussie 🙂

[@aussieaussieaussie9438]

Ok. So you addressed it at the end... but I'm still a bit confused. Isn't the base gel to help the other gels adhere? Why would the free edge come off with base gel then? Love you Greg... hope you still love me 😎

[@youngnailsinc]

Base has the most resin in it to anchor onto your nails. Base is your foundation for your nail. Never build with base. instagram.com/reel/CqBeBO-O1xv/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y= You can definitely apply it first if you choose, but sometimes we like to apply it after to help anchor the free edge. The gel on the free edge will adhere to the natural nail just fine as long as it is prepped correctly.

[@didirocks1000]

Do heat spikes depend on product or what would it cause to get so much heat on the natural nail?

[@youngnailsinc]

The amount of heat can be a result of either what product you are using or how much product you apply. For example, our Synergy Base has more resins in it to give better adhesion. Because of this, it has more heat during the chemical reaction. If you were to apply a thick layer of Base, you would get an extreme amount of heat with it, so we do not recommend building structure with it, just use a thin layer to get the foundation of the nail. With the rest of our gels, they are designed to build structure and thickness, so they can be applied thicker and not have as much of a heat spike. However, as with any chemical reaction, there is a certain amount of heat, so if you apply a large amount of product, you will feel that heat. This is why we recommend using the "low heat mode" on our UV/LED lamp. This will slow the curing process so you don't get that "spike."

[@Katirax1]

I’m allergic to acrylic, what are my options?

[@jrccandleco7939]

I know this video is a bit older, but the protein bonder is being cured while creating the extensions. I’m assuming that is ok? Since usually I use the protein bond and then apply base-cure then make my extensions ? This Video is awesome but keeps missing the absolute small but IMPORTANT notes

[@dayannaponte123]

Wait so after curing the glitter gel what did u cap it with flex gel ???

[@myerie08]

After the glitter tip did he go over with clear builder or clear sculpture?

[@youngnailsinc]

builder

[@danimitchell6388]

Best gel tute ive ever watched. So informative! Ps is Greg getting a cold? Get him to drink boiled water... as much and as hot as he comfortably can. Works wonders!😁

[@dianikahn-dkglambeauti8674]

Thank you👍🏼🙋🏻

[@Rivera__444]

Thanks for sharing ❤️

[@adricakez5]

what product did he use over the glitter, to build the nail? was it the sculptor or the build gel?

[@youngnailsinc]

the free edge is built with clear sculptor, then base, then build to create the structure of the nail.

[@divm8559]

1. how many full set manis do i get from the little bottle of protein bond? 2. does protein bond come in bigger bottles too? 3 if not, why?

[@youngnailsinc]

1. hard to put a number on it because some techs use it multiple time in a service, some nails are longer than others etc etc. 2 no it does not come in a larger bottle. 3 because when manufactured in a larger size it looses some of the quality of product and starts to run into issues so after extensive testing we have came to the conclusion that this chemistry in this size has the best results

[@file-n-stylenails3682]

Ohhhhh well explained... Thanx .

[@samanthapoulter105]

Can you use sculpting gel rather than builder gel over a nail tip?

[@youngnailsinc]

Yep, the difference in sculptor gel vs build gel is the consistency not durability. It is really just a preference of which you like to work with.

[@samanthapoulter105]

YoungNailsInc perfect! And would I need to use base of can I lay a thin layer of sculpting gel first then sculpting gel over the top? Sorry for the silly questions, I’m an acrylic girl!

[@SuAlteza92]

What is the tool used to remove the form?

[@royalneal3265]

It was a duel cuticle pusher and pinching tool they call it the magic wand

[@estelaluque4765]

Gracias x tu vídeo 😘

[@lizbent7993]

Thanks for that video. I love your videos. I have learned sooooooo much from you. I have a question through. If you did those nails on a client, and then they came for their fill (rebalance) you would have to file down past the glitter color. By doing so, would the clear gel underneath be stable enough or would you have to fill the whole thing off? I just ask that because it would be sooooooo much faster this way if so

[@shareece90]

I have troubles seeing the clear when I place it on the forms ... should I apply more or is this a sign that I may need glasses lol bc it's my main problem and doing coffin with gel and pinching it

[@youngnailsinc]

Try sculpting your free edge with the Clear Sculptor in the Precision Tube. This way, you can see exactly where you are squeezing the product out. You can also sculpt your extensions using the Concealer colors so you can see them better.

[@buttercard]

What if we use a clear form, would you still recommend to build the same or could you build with a glitter mix/pigmented gel etc?

[@ChanCecilia]

What the last product used? Thank you~ 😅

[@youngnailsinc]

It's our ultimate finish top coat.
