YN NAIL SCHOOL - HOW TO PREP, SIZE, AND APPLY NAIL TIPS

[@hazelchimbidzikai870]

So grateful for this video exactly what I need how to size and position to lay. My mentor unfortunately taught me placing slightly halfway down from the cuticle and the outcome is not as perfect. But this is a tip for sure! Will definitely use this for practice

[@Phia8-cs7sh]

She sounds really good is what she sounds like . Speaks clearly and explains well .

[@helenenicholson6099]

Thanx Tracy, cleard up some issues i've experienced with "self application". I mean, i've been doing my own nails (tips/full) since i was twelve and could never quite get rid of those bubbles... But i have tried this method, and it is by far the best...

[@sarahyg2172]

I never realized the fitting problem until trying out glue-on nails. I thought they should be the same width as my nails but I was very wrong... It was uncomfortable and kept popping. Wish that I watched this videos at that time.

It is nice to see Tracey give Nail school advise.

this was a great video ms Tracey. I thought I would never see it cause Greg doesn't do tips lol. but I really enjoyed this video and I'm very thankful. love y'all ❤❤

That might be the first non stiletto, ballerina, coffin tip I've seen on your channel lol 😂❤

[@christeendonnelly9813]

I'd like to think you did this video for me, as I asked a few weeks ago if there was any difference between tips and forms as I never see you guys using tips. However i realize this video is a year old! Lol thanks for sharing. You addressed the issue I have when applying tips with this video. I always get air pockets when glueing. Thanks guys much respect.

[@youngnailsinc]

❤️❤️

[@danielledouglas2156]

I always love y'all tips and tricks!

[@songbirdmedows]

Thank you for this video. I myself have never used tips on a client. However I have tried numerous times to put a tip on myself in the last 13 years that I have been a nail tech. I have never ever had success for some reason the tips will not adhere. I have used many different nail glue’s but was never trained how to do this. Now I know that the reason the tips will not adhere is because I didn’t prep the nail first before I tried to glue on the tip LOL. Rookie mistake although I was trained to sculpt nails and not to glue on tips. I can’t wait to try this after the holiday merry Christmas to you and yours and happy New Year’s 😊🎄

[@somecallmeconny]

I do forms too but wantet to do tipps today. I thought :" pff how difficult can it be..." and after 3 fingers i went back to my forms. I didnt prep the nails either🙈

[@electronic575]

Two question: 1-Can I use this kind of tips with normal/regular polish? 2-what number of buff are the right one for fake nails?

[@FionaSmith-vm9ov]

Hi, im still struggling to keep my tips on they pop off the nxt day n i dont know what to do about it, i prep the nails take the shine off size the tips but they just wont stay on, please can you give me any advice . Thankyou Fiona

[@youngnailsinc]

Are you sixzing the tips so they are fitting without having to press them down with a lot of pressure? If you are pressing a lot then that could mean you are sizing too small and that will lead to pocket lifting. If the nail is between sizes, always choose the larger size and then file to fit.

[@allycat1271]

The nail salons in my town needs to take some notes from yall!👏👏👏 I really want to open a nail salon here because I know it would make good money. Since I've moved here and realized how much the salons here suck I started doing my own nails and the amount of people who asked me where I got my nails done and I told them it was me and they asked me to do their nails I couldnt even tell you. I'm not qualified to do other peoples nails though I'm just self taught through youtube. I want to go to nail school and open a salon here where I live with young nails products!!🤗🤗

[@ASMRyouVEGANyet]

Did you do it? My friend opened up her salon and she has been extremely successful. She's even done Ariana Grande's nails and done fashion shoots. Hope you follow your dreams!

[@oseevbuomwan974]

Pls do you need to add a base on the nail before applying the tips

[@youngnailsinc]

No, we push back cuticles, remove shine with our e-file, cleanse with swipe and apply the tips. Here is a video for you: kzbin.info/www/bejne/l37Fg5SebZt7g6M

[@preetiagarwal4593]

Can you tell me the technique to merge the nails. Cos when i do even after working hard still when i apply polish it is visible the smile line of the nails

[@Blackdiamond929_]

The rock and air pocket thing is 👌🏾

[@siandaniels5000]

Hey, would you reccomend to cut the nail short in the prep?

[@youngnailsinc]

Yes, we prefer to not have much of a free edge under the tips or sculpted free edge.

Plz upload one bead acrylic in tips too

[@cocosouvannakhamouane4926]

Question what if the customer wants a straight tip long instead of the curve tip what would I do

[@youngnailsinc]

You would most likely need to have different types of tips on hand already or using forms to sculpt out the extension instead of using tips.

[@cocosouvannakhamouane4926]

@@youngnailsinc ok thank you

[@lisacarruthers9649]

Would those curved tips be helpful for me with ski slope nails? Although I am proficient with your forms (best forms ever) I would like the option of tips sometimes.

[@youngnailsinc]

With ski sloped nails, we do recommend cutting the free edge as short as possible and sculpting with the forms rather than tips, but if you are wanting to use tips, you can. Since our quarter well tips have a curve to them, they can help to mask that upward slope. However, with any application, you will have to clip them off every so often and re-sculpt to keep them from sloping upward

[@KChimmy95]

Do you guys disinfect the clients nails prior to prepping? if so what do you guys use?

[@elisabetenascimentomakeup9047]

I guess rubbing alcohol is fine

[@elysesanders97]

If I dont have a swipe pad, can I use nail polish remover or alcohol to remove all the dust before acrylic application?

Alcohol

[@kenzielacosta8244]

I haven't done my nails in a long time. I bought everything to do them...I just kept telling myself that I'm going to mess up. Lol I need to just doo it!

[@andreacavalcanti2280]

Does it really matter if you file the well before or after you glue it on? My school taught us to file the well and the sides before glueing it on so that you save filing time trying to blend it all after.

[@youngnailsinc]

Depends on the shape and style, along with how well the tip fits

[@reelya1268]

Wow that looks so real

[@youngnailsinc]

Yes, this is on a real person.

[@kamillagirl]

Can you apply these without using acrylic overlay? If there a way to do these all gels, or even with regular polish?

[@youngnailsinc]

With quarter well tips, you would need some kind of enhancement over them for strength and durability. If they are just applied with no product over them, there is a greater chance of them breaking off. You can use a hard gel over them or if you are just doing a shorter/active set, you can use gel polish/Fiber Gel but make sure to build up the stress area for support.

[@kamillagirl]

@@youngnailsinc hard gel... is that like/ another name for builder gel?

[@youngnailsinc]

Hard gel is another product used to make extensions similar to acrylic. It is non-porous so it does not soak off. Here are some videos for you: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gnfcnJiYa6x2aLM kzbin.info/www/bejne/o4LEnotni7Kqp9U

[@RR-jm4cc]

[@youngnailsinc]

You can 100% apply acrylic on top of tips.

[@elyzsabethahne2116]

@@youngnailsinc Can I just apply polish on top without having to apply acrylic or gel? Thank you very much.

[@uniquelydess8297]

Would it make a difference if I use protein bond before placing the nail tip then using dehydrator and primer after the nail tip as well?

[@youngnailsinc]

Yes, protein bond doesn't mix well with the glue so you don't want to apply it first.

[@ODaughterofZionMinistries]

I did my own gel nails today for the first time and I wish I watched this before because I made error number 2 forcing the tip down and yea I can see the edge of it under the gel and ait under it.. ahh well live n learn right?

yes as best you can

[@SarahSiame-m7u]

Thanks for this really learnt something respect 👌

[@Voxsockss]

hii!! Can I ask what type of glue you can use? Because whatever I use it falls off imediatelly

[@youngnailsinc]

We are using our brand of glue. You need to hold it to the nail for a little bit. If you are trying to glue a tip onto a fake nail to practice, you have to hold it for longer as there is no body heat from a person to make it set faster.

[@youngnailsinc]

so great right

[@skintonegolden4435]

So do you put protein bond on before you apply your tips or after or before and after? And is protein bond the same as primer?

[@youngnailsinc]

we put it on after applying the tips. 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.

[@ppema99]

I'm starting to do my own acrylic nails and I know I have a lot of learning to do what nail glue do you recommend I use?? Can I use super glue to glue my tips?

[@youngnailsinc]

you can, nail glue would be recommended

[@tlomax2768]

What about filling the well part of the tip thinner before. Putting it on the nail then blend.

[@traceyreierson5166]

T Lomax definitely could. I find it easier to do on the nail, just remember to make sure you’re filing on the plastic to blend and not the natural nail.

[@cheylivshere]

I just bought some to apply myself. Mine are huge or too small, the tip she applied looked like it was on her skin, like on her finger? Was it or did it just look like it?

[@youngnailsinc]

You want to make sure the tip does go all the way from sidewall to sidewall. In the video, the tip looks like it's farther onto the skin than it actually is because the camera is so high definition. As you are sizing, you can file off the edges before adhering it to the nail if they hang over too far .

Any advice on how to avoid applying a crooked tip? Or what about when the person's finger is slightly curved to one side, which seems to be common? How should I apply the tip? Go with the curve or try to make it look straight? Sorry if that doesn't make sense. Also, say I apply it crooked, what is the best way to correct this? TIA

[@youngnailsinc]

You would have to remove and replace it. I would recommend making it look straight however you will likely need to clip off and reapply each appt to keep it looking like it is supposed to because the nail will naturally grow back crooked

If you are having a reaction to the products, we recommend first consulting with your healthcare provider to determine exactly what you are having a reaction to. After that, you may be able to continue working wearing gloves, but you don't want to continue to make the reaction worse and more extreme.

[@youngnailsinc]

When you are applying the tips, you want to make sure they are in line with the finger, not necessarily the nail. Sometimes the nails can be crooked so you have to turn the tip straight. This is another reason we recommend sculpting rather than using tips because you can adhere the form and look at them to straighten it out before applying product.
