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!

[@LetyaB]

Thanks for this video. So much information and Greg makes it all simple!!!

[@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

[@tsaiyana]

that glitter mixture is gorgeous

[@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]

Wow!! Beautifully done maestro!! I’m a newbie manicurist and I absolutely love your videos. They’re very informative and educational. Thank you so much!!

[@danayeb9019]

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

[@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?

[@venitahlitty9511]

Love love great teaching and nail work!♡

[@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.

[@GelsNGemsNails]

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

[@kimrandall-flores6794]

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

[@j.jsjourneysouthafrica3806]

Oh my hat i never new working with gel is so easy...what a good teacher🇿🇦💖

[@karijohnson3187]

Thank you!!! Always learning something from these videos.

[@Babygirlnails]

Thanks a BUNCH for these video's. They sure help!!! GREAT Form learning video. Tfs

[@toririchardson1402]

Thanks for the great tips. I was thinking about trying gel sculpted nails.

[@nails4theweek]

Love the pillow idea! Gonig to try that. 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.

[@cfs7858]

I loooove Nail School!!! Greg solves all my doubts 😬👏🏻👏🏻

[@youngnailsinc]

👍

[@Yamileth_Nails]

Thank you, Thank you!!! I learn a lot from you guys. You're amazing! 😘

[@holliesmith4969]

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

[@aronj1072]

Thanks for this video. I’m planning on attending your OWC gel class in January.

[@michelefelix5395]

Love working with gel! Beautiful!

[@youngnailsinc]

❤️❤️❤️

[@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.

[@judidios]

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

[@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

[@nalawms8767]

These videos really make me want to started doing nails! 😍😍😍

[@youngnailsinc]

Such a great career!

[@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

[@magdamarianardone9969]

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

[@Incognitoo3]

We only do acrylic nails in our salon, but I think gels are beautiful. Thank you for this video.

[@queeny60s]

Love your videos guys! They've helped me so much!

[@youngnailsinc]

❤️❤️

[@Bbgirlbajolaluna]

Great as always!!

[@natashamaxwell9206]

Great lesson today! ❤️💅

[@beautifulyou4929]

Extremely helpful, thank you! X

[@yoenen9948]

Thank you Greg. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[@carriesullivan863]

Greg knows his shizz!!!

[@jamiebaker8411]

I learn so much every video

[@dorajuarez3080]

Understandable explanation. Thank you.

[@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.

[@janecotelos2240]

You are the master!! 😁👍💅

[@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

[@laj1285]

Great explanation. Thank you

[@gwenjuju3853]

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

[@jodrysdale3379]

Thanks for sharing much needed information

[@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?

[@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

[@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?

[@Cokechiq]

Wonderful!! Thank you!!

[@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

[@ebonypainter9274]

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

[@leeloocarson]

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

[@annekern5892]

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

[@MsJillypie]

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

[@paolatasaico6101]

Thank you for teach us!

[@niohmabenjamin6488]

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

[@emdee20817]

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

[@teresaquesada2409]

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

[@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

[@TheHen49]

Can I use clear builder gel on the whole nail?

[@shllewis9]

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

[@elaine316xoxo6]

Thank you 😊

[@judidios]

Perfect thank you😍😍

[@dayannaponte123]

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

[@divm8559]

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

[@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.

[@estelaluque4765]

Gracias x tu vídeo 😘

[@twerkinthecityhuh6340]

Greg...it looks like when you put the freeform on ur laying it on top of the nail or does it just look like that.?? I have been putting it underneath the nail or am I doing it wrong? Should I be putting it right at the free edge?

[@youngnailsinc]

The form just tucks up right underneath the free edge of the natural nail.

[@file-n-stylenails3682]

Ohhhhh well explained... Thanx .

[@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."

[@twerkinthecityhuh6340]

Greg...how is the light hitting the underside of the freeedge when it is on top???? Does it just go right thru the top??? Is that why you say use only clear for the platform??

[@youngnailsinc]

The lamps have mirrors on the bottom so the light reflects up underneath. That's also why we recommend removing the form and yes building the platform out of a clear thin base so it gives you something to work off of.

[@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.

[@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

[@rheaglover1501]

Awesome tutorials

[@youngnailsinc]

❤️❤️

[@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

[@myerie08]

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

[@youngnailsinc]

builder

[@delisawatkins5494]

Thank you so much!

[@youngnailsinc]

Thank you for watching

[@anitaablake2]

[@dianikahn-dkglambeauti8674]

Thank you👍🏼🙋🏻

[@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!😁

[@grissellolmeda4312]

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

[@kimlagrange3464]

I’m wondering also….

[@FatPeanutsFat]

❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@diosisromero1830]

You are amazing!

[@youngnailsinc]

❤️❤️

[@mayracalderon2248]

Second video I watch but I still can’t figure out what gel is mixed with the glitter. Another video it says flex but I can’t find it online at young nails 😩😭

[@shannonkelly9289]

Thank you.

[@lorrisadonahue5867]

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

[@youngnailsinc]

nope

[@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.
