Every problem I encounter I can come to young nails❤

[@marietrini7784]

If you use protein bond on natural nail, do you also put a dehydrator or primer over the nail as well ?

[@youngnailsinc]

With our products, we only recommend using the Swipe to cleanse after you prep the nail and then use Protein Bond. No other primers are needed.

[@sewsinead1700]

Do you need to cap when doing natural nails ? 🙏🏻

[@youngnailsinc]

As long as you apply Protein Bond, you do not need to cap the free edge. Our gel polish will adhere well to the filed surface with Protein Bond. Some people like to cap the edges for a more finished look, but it is not necessary.

[@bhumikak9720]

I always learn frm you, u r amazing teacher . Pls tell me what is dehydrator ,and primer? And now what is protien bond. Do i have to use both for nail services. I m a beginner nail tech. Pls put some more light..TIA

[@Carly1302]

Sorry for asking. But why do you not cap the free edge?

[@YourGirlVee]

I was wondering the exact same thing.

[@youngnailsinc]

There is no need to with our gel polish unless that is the look you want 😁

Protien bond and primers are same?

[@violetsunday2014]

Very beautiful video, thankyou. Can primer be used as protein bond?

[@youngnailsinc]

Our protein bond is one of a kind. You don't need to use another primer with it.

[@mirjam4915]

I find the thin layer thicker than I thought that thin would be. Question: no sealing of the free edge? Great colour!

[@JadenYukifan28]

I guess it depends on what product you are using, also she put Protein Bond on the surface of the natural nail, so I doubt it would chip either way

[@Junitunes]

1:44 what is that product? Protein nail? Does it need to be specifically for gel polish?

[@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

[@Junitunes]

@@youngnailsinc thanks

[@jamiegoette5826]

Tracy, Thank you for sharing your knowledge and expertise, YOU ROCK!!! Can Protein Bond be used with other gel polish lines? Also, can you coat the entire nail with Protien Bond if you plan on a soak off removal?

[@youngnailsinc]

Yes it can, however if you are planning to soak the gel polish of we highly recommend only using protein Bond on the free edge of the natural nail

[@jamiegoette5826]

YoungNailsInc Awesome! Thank you!

[@juliepoolie5494]

YoungNailsInc what happens if you use Protein Bond on the entire natural nail and plan to soak off? I used it on my dip nail I currently have on.

[@Casseyyy2012]

YoungNailsInc Why do you not recommend putting it all over the natural nail if soaking off ?????

[@linsey4556]

Cassandra Perry it’s just harder to remove because it’s almost like a double sided sticky tape so it will try to keep it on longer :)

What is a medium grit buffer

[@youngnailsinc]

A medium grit would be a 180-240 grit sponge buffer.

[@myfriendscallmejosh1491]

Can I use primer xtrabond by Mia secret on acrylic nail before paint , to avoid polish chipping? Hope you can answer my question I’m having chipping problems, and I’ve tried leaving texture already and it doesn’t help

[@youngnailsinc]

Since that is not a product we use or manufacture, we can't say how it would work. However, we recommend using our Protein Bond over your enhancement to help gel polish adhere better.

[@newine62]

I started doing my own gel nails at home how can I buy your products ? I am not a licensed nail technician

[@youngnailsinc]

Yes you can.

[@nisrinhaddad1800]

Can i use the swipe instead of the cleans(after top coat)?

[@joselinmorales7882]

What products did you use?

[@bridgettemallory6868]

the info from this video come right on time just got my acrylic nail fill at a local salon used gel nail polish now there chipping thanks for the tip

[@marangellygonzalez4883]

whats the name of the brand of nail polish and the color being used?

[@youngnailsinc]

It's our brand, Young Nails, color Beige 102. www.youngnails.com/products/1-3-oz-beige-102

[@TheAnya_Rodeny]

Can you please address why gel polish looks dull after a week and looks wipes out after a week

[@youngnailsinc]

If your top coat is getting dull, it could be that the nails are just being worn down or if your curing lamp is getting older, it may not be fully curing the gel.

[@ashleyyapor6636]

I usually buff out my acrylics with a buffer before painting because of the big scratches from the file, does it just get covered up with the polish ?

[@youngnailsinc]

We don’t recommend buffing as it smoothed out the surface and gel doesn’t like a smooth surface. We recommend finish filing with a 150 grit file, cleanse with swipe and apply a coat of protein bond. The protein bond helps fill in the scratches and helps prevent chipping/peeling.

[@tricao57]

i saw some people put the bond-aid first, and then put primer on the natural nails, and then they put the regular gel polish. is that make the gel last longer ? and i have 1 more question. is the bond-aid similar to the primer ?

[@youngnailsinc]

That is not a product of ours so we can't really speak on it. Our protein bond is a non acid based and used in place of primer

[@danasaunders4590]

I've followed the steps and still have chipping, Is it possible to over cure?

[@youngnailsinc]

Not typically, I would take a look at your lamp. Often times lamps won't show indications of going out, things just start having troubles curing or curing less shiny.

[@andreacavalcanti2280]

See I did everything that she showed here to prevent chipping the gel polish. But my client came back a few days after I did her nails. She actually came back 2 days in a row. So i don’t know what I’m doing wrong. And she said she wasn’t doing anything rough when they chipped. So maybe do you think it could’ve been the product? I used an OPI gel polish. I’m thinking they’re not very durable maybe?

[@youngnailsinc]

Could be, not all products are created equal. Also with gel polish alone sometimes people have more flexible nails which may lead to bending causing the gel polish to chip. You could try using a hard gel base coat to prevent movement of the natural nail

[@andreacavalcanti2280]

YoungNailsInc she actually came back again today. One of her nails on the other hand this time chipped. So what I did this time to fix it and that it doesn’t happen to the other nails, I put more bonding agent on the tips of all her nails and capped the free edge with the color. And top coated them all again. I really hope she doesn’t come back again for another fix. I don’t know what to do otherwise

[@SarahhhBeth]

Andrea Cavalcanti I know it’s been a while but sis you end up getting things figured out?

[@andreacavalcanti2280]

@@SarahhhBeth yes eventually i do get things figured out. Sometimes I don't but o well. this problem that i had i think most of it wasn't really my fault. She said she works at home depot so obviously it had to be mostly her fault when she chipped her polish.

[@dcruz1802]

I notice that you don't cap the free edge with the base, polish and top coat. Is that correct for gel polish? I've always been taught to cap the free edge.

[@youngnailsinc]

As long as you apply Protein Bond, you do not need to cap the free edge. Our gel polish will adhere well to the filed surface with Protein Bond. Some people like to cap the edges for a more finished look, but it is not necessary.

[@Theartofcommunicationn]

What can you use instead of protein bond

[@youngnailsinc]

Unfortunately, we can't speak on other products as we don't test them.

[@Theartofcommunicationn]

@@youngnailsinc ok does it matter if I use that in my process of doing my manicure ?

[@youngnailsinc]

@@Theartofcommunicationn You could get lucky not using it and not having lifting or chipping, but we like to always use protein bond to ensure we do not. If it's gel polish on the natural nails, how to apply protein bond depends on how you remove the gel polish. If you remove by soaking off, then we recommend applying protein bond to the tips of the nails. If you remove with an e-file, then we apply it over the entire nail.

[@oliviadilworth4630]

I do all these steps and my gel polish peels or chips very quickly x

[@youngnailsinc]

Could be the file grit you are prepping with, we have a video coming out with gel polish mistakes hopefully it will help

[@leahcousins5865]

I am in the same boat. I'm following all of these steps. I'm prepping with a diamond bit. I'm honestly not sure what grit it is exactly, but it's on the fine side. I wonder if it's too fine of a grit. Unfortunately my nail school did not really focus on troubleshooting gel polish peeling and chipping... :(

[@Cherub1387]

Cute top Tracey!

[@youngnailsinc]

Thank you!!

[@MyDarlingVivian]

What s a swipe? Alchohol aceton? Im not sure what a swipe is can you explain? Whats the liquid you put with your swipe?

[@youngnailsinc]

Swipe is a dehydrator chemically formulated to dehydrate the natural nail plate and prep the nail for application

[@MyDarlingVivian]

@@youngnailsinc ok I have that then. Thanks! 😉😊👍

[@JH-fs1gb]

Can someone please tell me the purpose of protein bond? Sorry if it’s a silly question.

[@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.

[@suuli4004]

Can I protein bond the whole nail if I want the nail polish to not chip?

[@youngnailsinc]

You can, but if we do then we recommend removing the gel polish with an e-file. Protein bond does such a great job at sticking to the product that it will be hard to remove by soaking. If you do soak that's when we recommend only the tip of the nail.

[@marissajaramillo484]

Is PH bond the same as protein bond?

No, 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

[@tashanaferguson3931]

How long do you cure the base coat before applying the gel polish? Does the base coat have to be dry?

[@youngnailsinc]

You want to cure for however long the base coat for whichever company you are using says it should be cured for. Usually it is 60 seconds.

[@claudiaabanales8868]

Can you skip the base and move in straight to the color gel polish??

[@youngnailsinc]

Over enhancements yes but not natural, on natural base is necessary

[@laurennasca-davis7747]

Can protein bond be applied under reg polish?

[@msmelodeez8812]

Will it hurt to cure for a whole minute in between layers on a natural nail? Is only 30 seconds a must?

[@youngnailsinc]

Nope you can cure longer if needed.

[@arelidiaz3160]

can over curring cause chipping ?

[@youngnailsinc]

Generally, curing a product for a longer time won't affect the wear of it. Depending on what product is chipping, there is most likely another issue going on.

[@deirdreneavyn2979]

Why do you not cap the free edge with the gel colour polish?

[@youngnailsinc]

Not necessary when using protein bond and we like to refine the edge to keep a crisp shape

[@stephaniecartwright4682]

I'm having issues with clients gel polish cracking on the natural nail, is there anything I can do to prevent this?

[@justavietgyrl]

Overcuring can cause this

[@youngnailsinc]

What top coat are you using? Is it our Stain Resistant top coat? Stain resistant is a hard gel top coat. Our nails are flexible and this will cause the top coat to crack if used on top of the natural nails. It is for use on top of enhancements such as acrylic, hard gel, slickpour, full cover tips, etc. Think of stain resistant on natural nails like this: “You used a hard gel topcoat on a soft gel polish. It's like the chocolate shell on an ice cream cone.” instagram.com/reel/CvvMWUsuth_/?igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==

[@ginautami4831]

Wait, no capping?

[@youngnailsinc]

You can cap the free edge if you prefer that look, but as long as you are applying Protein Bond, this will bond the gel polish to the nail and you don't have to "seal" the free edge.

[@jacquelinedimattia774]

Thanks Tracey 😘 Now I know what I was doing wrong!

[@youngnailsinc]

[@tamikafarrar1199]

How come you don't cap the free edge on the natural nail?

[@MD-cs7jd]

I adore protein bond. It’s the only thing I’ve found that gives me 3 weeks chip free wear! My only question is I’m quite paranoid about developing an acrylate allergy. Can someone please help me interpret the ingredients to see if this is something that might nip me at the heel someday? Ethyl Methacrylate, Hydroxypropyl Methacrylate, Peg-4 Dimethacrylate, Dimethyltolyamine, CI 60725

[@youngnailsinc]

All of these chemicals are FDA approved for safe use as directed. Although allergies can happen after one contact, they tend to develop over time from repeated over-exposure to chemicals, so avoiding contact with the skin, not cutting the cuticles prior to product application and avoiding over-use of any chemical will help to avoid reactions.

Lately I've have several of my clients coming back to me stating that there gel polish is peeling off their nails? When I do builder gel or acrylic I then file then dust off the nail then apply gel polish and then top coat. Someone told me that I should not cleanse the nail due to the fact that the nail is still wet when going to apply gel polish. Can you help me with this problem?

[@youngnailsinc]

try using protein bond after you have filed, & cleansed the nail, before you apply gel polish.

[@tijananinkovic1400]

This is exactly how I do it. However, the problem I still have is that at the tip of the nail, the polish starts to separate from the nail. It happens after about 10 days, even with better quality pricier polish. So I must be doing something wrong, I just can't figure out what.

[@tijananinkovic1400]

Thanks for the tips btw, they are super useful!

[@youngnailsinc]

When the nail grows out and the free edge isn't getting moisture from the nail bed any longer, it gets dehydrated and loses it's flexibility. With wear and tear, it can start to pull away. Make sure your clients are using cuticle oil on a regular basis (at least once/twice daily) to help keep the nails hydrated and flexible.

[@carolinavera8837]

That was not thin layers lol
