YN NAIL SCHOOL - HOW TO APPLY GEL OVER A TIP

[@FatManPhoto]

Due to the crazy world right now I have recently started doing my wife’s nails since she can’t go to the salon right now. Been watching a lot of you videos to pick up the knowledge to do them nice and safe. Thank you and keep up the good work.

[@hollaatthekid1796]

The YN library is AMAZING! Talk about a nail encyclopedia! Coming back to rewatch this ..... I love acrylic, its my enhancement of choice! I have all this gel....I think its time to learn how to apply it. ♥️

[@youngnailsinc]

It really is! We’re glad you took the time to watch this video on how to apply gel over a tip.

Wow. And other folks said it couldn't be done 😅 once again, you teach like no one else! Love and thx to you all❤

This is why you guys are the best! That tip about creating a well to help with heat spikes, then to allow to build your apex, its gonna make me fall in love with gel again, as it what has been putting me off with gel but im gonna give this ago. Thank you all for your amazing channel, its so appercaited that you guys share so much, cant tell ya how much your videos help xx

[@hollaatthekid1796]

That split , wow! I believe that just changed my whole gel game, THANK YOU!!!

[@breianevillafana1018]

That split method was genius and made the whole thing look so simple.

[@Hooverpixie24]

So glad I found this. Currently started doing my daughters nails vs the salon, because it’s safer, and costs less money, and anymore, they don’t do cuticles or manicures, and I can. This was super helpful!!

[@youngnailsinc]

So happy you enjoyed the video!

[@Aderpay]

Wow! I should of watched this video before doing gel nails. I had a hard time trying to even out the gel onto my nails. Definitely going to try the split method on my next set of gel nails! Thanks for the tips! It’s very helpful!

[@ssc4153]

I know this is an older video...but WOW Greg...that technique about dividing the gel up was brilliant! I have never seen anyone do this technique and I just have to say it's brilliant! Another technique I'm swiping from you! 🧡💛💚💙💜💗

[@rheaglover1501]

Thanks so much. I'm learning a lot from you guys. I recently enrolled at the Toni and guy academy here in Erie PA. Only to be let down by not having enough instructors to teach in the evening. It's convenient for me a working mother who does want to put the hustle as a legit businesses. But in the right way. So now I have to wait. But instead of being real with me. The call that was made was said that there were not enough students. Bullshit. We all work and can juggle school too. But y'all got me. So thank you YounNails

[@youngnailsinc]

Ashley Thurgood Thank you!!

[@michaelavalek2649]

Loved how in depth this was! I’m definitely going to try this! I just moved to a small apartment and so acrylic isn’t really an option as I don’t want it to smell up the place. I’ve used I.b.d brand gel before and prepped my nails as I always do but for some reason some would come off the next day if I knocked it against something (never had that issue while using acrylic) or while I was doing my nails and started filing them I noticed lifting, like there would be a white area and it was lifted it was so frustrating and I haven’t used the gel since. So hopefully with this new information it’ll help me.

[@urszulazukowska1200]

I Love you :) you are much better teacher than I had it on my nail course.

Question....is there a difference in strength and durability between lengthening with a tip vs using a form? I've been under the impression that tips are not as durable because glue breaks down in water, creating a weak spot. Is this true?? Great video! Thank you

Can you make a video or insert a spot in a video that breaks down pricing of what a set of nails would cost? Like what Greg or Tracy would charge for a set of nails you show, why, and break down cost? I think that would help nail techs know what to charge, and us consumers to understand what its worth. ❤

[@davidkloster8961]

@@carolcharles4869 Carol they have a video already about that. I watched it tonight actually. It is on their Nail Biz talk show I think that's what they call it. If you search here on KZbin you will find it. Tracy's starting full set price starts @ $90 & goes up accordingly from there. Not sure what Greg charges but probably very comparable to her pricing. I mean if they work in the same salon. Which I am guessing they do. I am new to their videos. So I am unaware of all of their details. However I've been watching them non stop now for a couple of weeks Lol I hope this information that I've given helps you out a bit & answers the questions that you are seeking. God bless

If you don’t have experience with an efile? What can you use to remove shine from the nail plate? A buffer?

150 grit file, a buffer will leave the nail too smooth

Can used dehydrator as a first and primer as a second and for last base code? Or only primar and basecode ?

Swipe is our cleanser/dehydrator that we use before protein bond.

Marta Warmuz in one of his videos a while back, he said to use the Mani Q in the jar as base for led light. I think he said the base in the jar( what he used in this video) is for uv only. I will find the video & let u know the name😁

[@chrystal7707]

Marta Warmuz It's the Young Nails Live Gift Wrap Your Clients Nails With Synergy Gel(Recorded Earlier) Video. He starts talking about it at 8min 50secs

[@salonitambe82]

I want to ask that do we use hard gel to equal the gap between half tip & the nail right? & the first thing u used was hard gel right the clear one? I have been confused over this from many months now.

[@youngnailsinc]

You would use hard gel in the same way you would use acrylic. You apply it over the natural nail and the tip as well. If using hard gel, you want to make sure you are prepping the tip like the natural nail as gel adheres better to a textured surface. Here are some videos for you: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gnfcnJiYa6x2aLM kzbin.info/www/bejne/joWWgHtuoM2NftE

Why protein bond again on top of gel and under the sealer top coat ? Thanks

[@divm8559]

will working on one hand not over cure the base on fingers done first?

[@youngnailsinc]

You will not over cure the base

[@pinksantana1351]

Love the tutorial! It was all I needed!!!! 🥰💅🏽

[@misickmarissa]

Would you file a clear tip as well ? Or would you not because scratches would show ?

[@youngnailsinc]

Yes, when applying gel to a tip you will have to ruff up the surface of the tip or the gel will not adhere correctly

[@angelicap.4557]

i love you videos! this was so informative however, im curious to know, if someone wanted, lets say red nails, would you replace the concealer pink colour with a red gel paint? or still use the concealer pink and then the red gel on top ?

[@youngnailsinc]

red gel on top that way removal and reapplication is less of a process

Hi thanks for the video and it really help. Also I have a few questions, after applied the fake nails tips on, do I need to put this hard building gel on to make the nails stronger? Second question, once I put the building gel on, do I need to apply the base coat then put the color on?

[@junkmail420]

To answer your first question, yes you are adding the hard gel to build & strengthen the nail (as you would if using acrylic). 2nd question as long as you have not removed the inhibition layer (sticky layer) you could proceed with gel polish & top coat. However most people removed the inhibition layer to shape and file the nail after hard gel application so then in that case yes you'd want to add a base gel coat first then proceed with gel polish and top coat.

Here is a helpful playlist for you. Unfortunately, we can't speak on other lights as we don't test them. kzbin.info/aero/PLbrhuNO154v3bqfk94wkZiud2BzJEBS5O

[@Ab-abovetheFirmament]

1.Why is my shellac chipped after 2 days? I did everything right 2.Do you always have to wipe the upper layer of gel when it's done? 3.Is gel in this box the same as "gel in the bottle"? 🤔

[@youngnailsinc]

Great questions! 1. We can't speak on shellac specifically as it is a product from another brand and we don't test other brands. We can say that typically if there is chipping, it comes from not properly prepping the nail. Let us know what you do step by step and we can see what is going on. 2. In this video, we are using hard gel so you want to remove the tacky layer after curing so you can remove bulk and shape the nail. When using gel polish, you do not want to remove the tacky layer each time. You only want to remove the tacky layer of the top coat after curing if your top coat has one. 3. Gel in the pot vs gel in the bottle would be on a brand by brand bases. Many companies, like our synergy gel in the video, use pots for hard gel as it is often too thick to be used from a bottle. Hard gel is similar to acrylic because you can use it to build extensions. Hard gel is non-porous so it cannot be soaked off in acetone. There are many companies who use pots for soft gel (can be soaked off) like thicker building gel. We use pots and bottles for our fiber gel because some people prefer to use a different brush to apply from a pot than the brush that comes in the bottle. Gel polish, used for color, typically comes in a bottle. There are more specific art gel colors that come in pots, like our mission control and cream clay colors. We would recommend checking with the company or other people you know in the industry before purchasing so you can be sure if it's a soft gel or hard gel. Here are some videos on hard gel and soft gel: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gnfcnJiYa6x2aLM kzbin.info/www/bejne/g5TZh6Goe9JprKs

Love your videos! I have a question: For gel nails that include a false tip, would I have to remove the whole set after the 2-3 weeks and repeat this whole process or am I able to do some kind of infill??

[@youngnailsinc]

As long as you are removing all lift with fills you are fine, but often when using tips there becomes issues where the glue & tip are, so often removal and reapplication is necessary

[@mabelalvarado4672]

So for hard gel you apply one coat of protein bond instead of two as you would for acrylic?

[@youngnailsinc]

We always recommend 2 coats after prepping the nail

Regular gel polish wouldn't have enough strength or structure to keep the tip from breaking off. In the video we are using hard gel to build that.

It helps prevent chipping and peeling.

As you apply base coat over gel at last i want to know reason why you dont use top coat instead this ?? Or if we can use top coat should we still have to use protein bond before it .??Please help to know all this by your precious reply ??

[@youngnailsinc]

I'm not sure I understand your question. We apply the synergy base gel on the natural nail and the tip and then concealer pink gel to build the strength and struct and then protein bond after filing as it helps prevent chipping/peeling and then gel top coat.

[@divm8559]

hi! just wanna ask if I can use base gel polish as a base for hard gel on a tips? to strengthen and for it to last?

No, you want to use the base that goes with the hard gel line together as that is how they work best. Base has the most resin in it to anchor onto your nails. Base is your foundation for your nail.

[@FrknRican86]

Now I know this is an old video but if you or anyone else has an answer. Let's say I mess it up during the file portion and might need to add a bit more gel. Can I add gel on gel or do I have to start from base coat step or can I just add a bit more gel to the filed part?
