YN NAIL SCHOOL - HOW TO CUSTOMIZE NAIL FORMS FOR ALL NAIL SHAPES

[@helloiamem]

I was not taught half of what I've learned on KZbin at my actual nail school,where I paid a lot of money to go. Thank you guys, much appreciated ♥️ EDIT; half way through the video I thought "hm, wonder what he'd do with his own nail" and BAM right at the end it's like he read my mind. 👏👏 Great educational channel guys I love it

[@alexandraittah1089]

The square hack is mind blowing!!!! You’re the best

[@youngnailsinc]

Appreciate it! ❤️

[@janethsigrest7622]

Thanks Greg I learned a lot from you more than the school nail I went to. They never showed us a lot of techniques .

[@kgurovsky1]

I love that Greg has a piece of glitter over his mouth...I didn’t notice till the end, so I don’t think it was there at the start lol awesome!! A man after my own heart for sure!!!!

[@lc8332]

Most excellent on expanding a form. Would have never thought of that thanks

[@carriestranger3635]

I have a lot of friends that bite their nails, this will help me so much! Great reference video.

[@kimskuticlesward2944]

Thank you 🙏 once again for sharing your knowledge with the rest of us nail technicians. I use your products and I love them.

[@cadiacaine]

I never knew u could do that with the circle tab for a square nail, I was always told to just throw it away. That is awesome! Very very informative, u guys rule! Xoxo

[@colleenasteevesbos6975]

What you did here I had to learn n my own. But with that sad, the form for large fingers/ thumbs is a new on for me. Thanks for this amazing tip.

[@leahography1303]

Great tip for square nails! I've always struggled with forms for my own nails and I never would have thought to do something like that. Thanks so much 😁

[@youngnailsinc]

Welcome!

[@Aerogyrl2006]

I can't remember if I have ever requested for a video like this but I'm so glad you guys made it happen. I have a natural c-curve to my nail and it also grows downward. Applying the form is a huge challenge because it wants to tilt downward and when I apply product, it seeps underneath my hyponychium. I can't fit the form on my nails to save my life. When I do have the form on somewhat decent, the application is difficult. I have to build the free edge a little higher than how my natural nail grows and file the sidewalls quite a bit to have a proper looking nail. I've given up on forms but after seeing this video, I will give it another try but I can't guarantee that forms will be my favorite way of doing nails...as least on me.

[@LrysAndFlys]

Thank you so much for this video. I love sculpted nails but often have issues fitting them. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

[@traceyharidemos615]

Great video. Thanks for the excellent education. I have learnt so much from you guys.

[@ladylotusinc]

My God how I needed to know this! Thank you so much! I refuse to use tips and want to perfect my sculpting before ever using a tip. My hyponichium? Is rather long . This is soooo helpful. Tfs 💓from NC

[@kendraackerman3077]

All my nails are square and have deep c curves, I'm so excited to try this! Fingers crossed it saves me so stress and aggravation!

[@jaids_place]

This was a great Nail School tutorial! Very informative... especially the one for the wide nail Thank you Greg and Habib 😉

[@mandicoleman7433]

Oh wow... never thought to put 2 together.. I would just cut at an angle from the corners. I'm gonna have to try ur way next time I do my nails!!! Thanks for this one great video!!!!

[@diamondstarr6528]

Thank you so much I have really had a time with the last one and it would take me forever to do a service and still would not be happy with the outcome thank you for showing me something new and helpful

[@rachelraykar]

really needed to learn how to work wit the deep c curve! my ring finger is a bit tedious, will definitely try this out thanks!!

[@luannproctor672]

square/bitten nail beds... super helpful tip!!!

[@karlad1311]

Another great video, very informative! Thank you all! ❤

[@ahsat1020]

I swear u guys are amazing and thank y'all so much for these awesome tips❤️❤️

[@ancfm1995]

Thank you for the nail customization tips!

[@MakeupMobster]

Omg I get extended hyponychium under some of my nails when my nails grow long. My middle finger gets it and I hate it. I also have it on all of my toes. I had no idea it had a name or why it was happening. I actually have a few of these issues. I have deep c curve, square nails, and the extended hyponychium. I was having so many issues with these forms using them on myself. This video was so, so helpful!

[@curlydash4993]

Thank you so much!❤️❤️ I was really struggling with nail forms. Thank you!! 😘

[@tinayeager7267]

Great information Gregg, thank you 🖤

[@A_is_for_arson]

I love using forms I find them easier than applying tips.... do you have a video on cleaning your tools after use??

[@amandaschrock629]

Thank you! I was just wondering how to do this!

[@j8oxas]

fab, thank you, another video gone into my 'saved' set, x

[@Jonsu91]

[@lanag92]

My problem- forms. Thank you 💓💓💓

[@heatherlarsen3268]

This was really helpful, thank you!

[@phyliciaromer9274]

Super helpful! Thank You!!!

[@brianadelao5230]

Hi great tips nail school has helped me a lot I love it! Do you have to pinch sculpted nails in order for them to prevent lifting?

[@youngnailsinc]

Pinching a sculptures nail helps with forming the c-curve and achieving good structure. 😊

[@RandeT73]

I have long natural nails. I prefer my natural nails. I have a natural great arch, C curve is pretty tight, etc. I see flaws in them but not many others do. But because I'm able to maintain good healthy long natural nails, that's my preference for me. I also have a high hyponychium. I've just always kinda pushed it back on myself when I do my weekly manicures, or if I need to clean dirt or nasty from under the nail. I don't cause pain or bleeding.

[@violetaotono9042]

Perfecto y comprendido muchachos ! ! Gracias

[@AylieRose]

This is something that drives me nuts! on my own nails especially! mine are very ski jump and wide so to get the nail straight i have to angle the form down so much!!

[@angieandersen673]

❤ this - so helpful, thank you for sharing! Wondering if there's any tricks for fitting ski jump nails that angle upward?

[@youngnailsinc]

Shorten the natural nail as far back as you can with out hurting them. This will help you apply the form and fit the nail properly 😂

[@stacyorick8764]

Amazing Greg!

[@teresabrinkman7484]

I have a client that has hook like nails, they bend over the free edge! Hardest to sculpt!hopefully this will help me!

[@NatalieMugridgeNailArtist]

Loved this! Tfs xx

[@janecotelos2240]

Very informative! But...you made a large form for large fingers, but how do you cut one down to make a real small form like for a pinky???

[@ItsJross.]

This was really insightful. Do you have any tips for using forms for people with nails that grow crooked?

[@youngnailsinc]

Here is a video that may help: kzbin.info/www/bejne/sF7aYoefh8SLZ6c

[@elaine316xoxo6]

Always so helpful 💞

[@jacquelinedimattia774]

Thanks for another useful tutorial ☺️😘

[@creationsofbeautymandylauf717]

What do you do if your client have nails that ae slightly growing upwards and they want to grow them. How do you place the form then (also kind of flat nail no c curve). Cause if i want to place a nailform withou leaking points the form wil point upwards.

[@youngnailsinc]

Shorten the natural nail, the key contact for the form is the center of the nail.

[@seannwakefieldcossetnails7874]

Thank you so much for this video🌹 can you please do a video on acrylics that contains MMA? The reasons why I ask is because I don't work on other nail technicians products so I do a soak before my set, but I would like to know if my clients maybe had MMA on they're nails before they came to me as this can be a liability for my business. Thanks xxx

[@Ashleyvr-cw2yn]

Seann Wakefield Cosset Nails that's an excellent question.

[@SarahhhBeth]

I know this is really old but I recently saw a post from a nail tech that ran into some MMA and she showed pictures! It was so gummy and stringy! She said you could just tell the difference because it was SO MUCH harder to get off, even the e-filing was a lot more difficult than non-MMA acrylic!

[@michelefelix5395]

What about the client that comes in with super thick high sidewalls? I see that the most. Usually just on one corner. I will have issues with it gapping or popping up & a piece of it curing into the gel. So pretty much the side wall come out as far as the free edge & is thick, usually hard causing the form to get all kinds of crazy. Thanks!

[@elzettekillian9008]

Michele Felix i was wondering this too as i have gotten that a lot as well

[@Briannado]

Good tips!!!

[@amysanders323]

Ty for this video!!!💙

Love you guys💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞

Very informative thank you

[@TheHeartNails]

Thank You !!

[@nathalieortiz7174]

Do I HAVE TO use nails forms if the nail tips you guys provided don’t work on my fingers? I got the kit so I’m trying to work with what I got. Was really trying to practice nail tips on myself before I learned forms. The tips just aren’t working for me...salons always use tips on me so idk.

[@youngnailsinc]

Tips are kind of a "one size fits most" product. Everyone's nails have a different shape and curve, so not every tip will fit every nail. If your nails are too flat and don't fit the C-curve of the tips, try a size bigger and file the sides of the tip off. This way, it will fit flush down to the nail. If your nails are too wide for the tips, we would recommend sculpting. This is one of the main reasons we do teach sculpting with forms as you can customize forms to fit every nail shape and size.

[@thedandyone6546]

My nails have a wall of skin that has to be pushed down to cover with product. It’s so hard to fit a form to hold down the side skin. Any suggestions?

[@Fragilisticexpiali]

The Dandy One cut out ears at the sides...

[@thedandyone6546]

Califragilisticness thank you

[@katharinelockhart2637]

Thank you soooo much!

[@saradang5802]

well done

[@traciek3946]

So how do we fit forms on nails that are really badly bitten, worse then what you showed us, and small nail beds pls . Thanks guys x

[@youngnailsinc]

On an extremely bitten nail you can build out a thin layer of acrylic out just onto their skin. once it is dry the skin pulls away from the acrylic. Now you can slide the form under that thin layer

[@traciek3946]

YoungNailsInc thank you and the same with gel ??

[@divm8559]

precious. please also tell how to fit under fanned out nails shape. nails where sidewalls are not parallel but fanned out. tks

[@youngnailsinc]

You can cut slits in the form to help adjust the pieces under the free edge

[@divm8559]

@@youngnailsinc thanks! it helped

[@influenceofstyle6007]

Can you provide a direct link to the nail forms? I can't find them on the website. Thanks for this video!

[@youngnailsinc]

Yes of course follow this direct link: www.youngnails.com/yni-artistic-nail-forms-500-count/

[@anhpham3346]

I have a question what about people with downwards nails( normally black girls) strong c curve and downwards? I am used to tips, form is definitely challenging

[@youngnailsinc]

When sculpting on nails that tend to curve downward, we recommend clipping off the majority of the free edge so you can build the nail straight out. As for strong c-curves, you may need to customize the form and pinch it tight for the correct shape. Check out this video for more info about customizing your forms. Specifically around 3:39. kzbin.info/www/bejne/naGZkmCnaMllfqMsi=vBUDLHsQBeJRez-o

[@kometka89]

How to build a nice gel nails on nails on your size?

[@carolbray3731]

Help. Could you please tell me if I can fit a form into my daughter's nail. She's a biter, but bites down both sides so they are extremely thin nails?

[@youngnailsinc]

Of course! Forms are basically the only way to be able to create a nice enhancement on an extremely bitten nail.

[@christinawhite9439]

What about ski slope nails?

[@youngnailsinc]

shorten the natural nail as much as possible with just a little bit of free edge before applying the form

[@josephinecassar4573]

Also for someone who has no free edge at all?

[@urbanonglesMINERAMARIANE]

💅🏽👍👍👍👍🇫🇷 merci

[@Yaelia]

Holy Moly! I had someone with a wide nail bed. Form didnt fit so I end up doing a dual form and i didnt like the way they looked

[@beckahknight6647]

You are so smart and talented I love your videos and your Instagram I want to send you a pic of my nails I did

[@youngnailsinc]

Thank You!!

[@diamondstarr6528]

I have a question what do I do when I have a client who’s nail is completely flat and square shape. A tip definitely does not work for me and a form is extremely hard to use and for me it makes the shape of the artificial nail look weird

[@athens0306]

Diamond Starr do you pinch them?

[@diamondstarr6528]

athens0306

[@diamondstarr6528]

athens0306 I'm waiting for one to arrive now

[@youngnailsinc]

you will have to customize the form for a square shaped nail. 😂
