I don't know why people complain about him... I LOVE HIS ENTHUSIASM!! he genuinely interested in making nail students and enthusiasts better and it seems like he wants us to live it like he does! I LOVE HIS VIDEOS!

[@youngnailsinc]

❤️❤️❤️

[@yogeswarisubramaniam6271]

I agree

[@marilynortiz7254]

Best Teachers!! Upbeat,vibrant, keeps you interested, genuine! Great feeling about the people behind the product! That feeling makes you really want to purchase product From YN! Great job guys!

[@r.h.4318]

I am a nail enthusiast and i love all their video's too. I am not a Licensed Nail Tech yet but i will be one day 💗. That's fine if they lose the bad followers because they will gain the real one's that are here to learn like me not judge.

[@babygloriagetsomesleep3826]

100% agree I love Greg’s teaching style he’s passionate!!! Isn’t that why we’re in the trade ?

[@DrLove-xn7lr]

This is a much better technique than dual forms. I have never liked the way dual forms sit at the cuticle, always makes me feel like the nail is to fake looking. With your technique.. you get to sculpt your own cuticle area.. perfect! I can’t wait to try this technique 👍🏼

[@kristinaleonov4811]

You can use dual forms the same way, and it's pop off more easily. It only depends on the form of dual tips, you have so many different types so you can choose one that looks more natural and fits to your nail plate. This kind of tips sometimes stick to the gel and it's very hard to take it off, sometimes it hurts a lot.

[@jennamac2411]

Oooo so this is the video where you guys were talking about getting hate and missunderstanding your passion. I don't think its condescending, I like how it's at a pace that someone learning can understand. It feels like when Greg says "okay" that hes trying to emphasize that we are understanding. When saying okay it's more of a question rather than a statement.. like, are you understanding? Is this a good pace? Please don't change your teaching style. I don't see the infomercial aspect to it at all. I like seeing your personalities and teaching styles. You 3 are the winning trifecta of nail school.

[@jayjaygee7592]

I agree....they are all a good pick me up and make me smile instead of bored. 🙂

[@anna-mariebloomer8933]

I must say I am a newbie as far as nails is concerned and has " listened" to many utube teachers and I am learning more from you guys than from all the others combined. Thank you

[@CrotchlessPantyhose]

This is not condescending! He is explaining for people who are learning

[@meehui]

I LOVE watching Greg work and teach. Everything he says is thorough and clear

[@youngnailsinc]

For sure

[@loripelan5031]

I am at the end of my nail career getting close to retirement. With that being said, I am appalled at some of the comments I have read from some of you. Just rude. Greg, I hope you continue to teach the way you do and show excitement like you do about different techniques. New or not. I for one have not ever used dual forms or tips like this so I enjoyed learning something different! Keep up the good work. I absolutely love learning from you guys. Okay?! 😘😂😁

[@cin4195]

Right on! I think they're fabulous as well! Okay? :-)

[@nicolecourtney8688]

THIS 🤘👆👆👆👆💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓

[@Rivera__444]

I’ve seen this done before but it’s always better to watch someone thoroughly explain the process. 👌🏽. Her nails are perfect

[@zamis21]

Who else did this?

[@Rivera__444]

zamis21 can’t remember exactly everyone that did this but there are nail techs on instagram that I’ve seen do this in their mini ig tutorials.

[@heatherwelberry1]

zamis21 just look up dual forms on KZbin and you will see many many people do this exact same technique with both gel and acrylic. Dual forms habe been around for years.. there is nothing new about this technique except he used a tip instead of a dual form which is just a tip with guide lines on it. Disappointed they tried to call this a new idea and make it their own since I've had a set of dual forms for well over 3 years. You can find a bunch of tutorials here on KZbin for dual forms though... dont know why they didn't check and make sure this hadn't been done already.

[@BimmerBabe]

yes i have seen several on youtube but they all struggle to remove the fake nail from the polygel. his popped right off. so im here to see what he did diff. its might be a game changer to use an already shaped nail over dual forms

[@FurianPA]

@@Rivera__444 Naio Nails maybe?

[@nicole_beaumont]

Had to come back and comment..I tried this at work this morning on a client! Total game changer!! It gives you such a beautiful arch and cuts down application time.. you guys are the nail Gods! Thank you again ❤

[@matamelaportiamuleba2903]

Is this method not a risk for breaking since the cuticle application is done after curing the tip ? I wanna try it..

[@christinamatzen4214]

Dude. You just saved me so much money. I was going to get the Apres X system but I got all those gels in my large mystery box (both of them 😂) but if I can use those then I am all over that!! Thank you!!! PS this is why I rarely read the comments on videos. Bunch of Monday morning quarterbacks "That's not new, you're being disrespectful, you didn't invent that!" He didn't say he did! It is new to some people, like myself, AND it's new to them as they haven't ever shown this technique before. Sure though, go ahead and crap all over them for taking the time to show this to us for free when they could be keeping it to themselves like a lot of KZbin Nail people do and say "pay for my class and I'll show you." *rant over

[@viktoriyakiya]

Apres x nails is the worst purschase I ever made. All my clients hate it coz the pre-made tips are so uncomfortable, either too large or too small. I think I’m gonna try this technique now.

[@aprilhobbs25]

Apres X system SUCKS my clients hate them & I'm not very fond of them either. Its kinda hard to take a "one size fits all" gel tip & make it fit everyone.

[@Ashleyvr-cw2yn]

William Pereyra fairly certain this technique was not invented by anyone on KZbin or Instagram. This is the kind of technique that occurs to dozens of people organically and slowly makes it's way back to companies and internet techs.

[@paulolopes1734]

Alo dear were i can by this tips? Can you send me the link? Pleaseeee

[@paulolopes1734]

Can you tell me were i can by those tips? Thanks

[@nataliecangini9750]

Love how passionate he is while showing what he's doing....great job and very well described !

[@dnmitch]

Even though people may be telling you that “this isn’t new” - which is true - I really do enjoy how enthusiastic you are about the new techniques coming from YN. It’s not new to the nail world, but it’s new to YN and I appreciate that. This channel has come A LONG LONG LONG way since the very first video I watched (close to 7yrs ago now). Loving the new vibes.

[@youngnailsinc]

TY!!

[@renehoustontx2981]

Omg... When he said with practice u will achieve perfection. That is so true and on point! I love the way he said that. When I first started nails, like the first 5 times I did them I was like this isn't for me, I can't get it as good as everybody else, Im way to off and was losing hope but not even 10 times of "practicing" (perfect way to describe it) I started getting better an learned how to correctly use and clean the brush during working, which I used to think it was impossible to use one brush thru one full service without it getting and staying dirty, and shape the nails cirrectly and faster and now I can't get enough of it and looove doing nails.

[@youngnailsinc]

good to hear you stuck it out, all crafts take a lot of practice!

[@dianikahn-dkglambeauti8674]

Wish I could hit the like button a million times. It is the easiest and quickest technique to do seriously. I just tried it

[@leeannedowdell2110]

It’s been stated that it’s the same as dual forms but Greg’s way puts more product on the arch and gives a stronger base. Also you could use any length of nail you want. This is waaaaay better than dual forms. Love 💕 it

[@honeybadgerzs]

Thank you for taking the time to film this. I agree partially with other commenters that it’s a revamp of dual forms but what I appreciate is you guys making us aware that any full cover/well-less tip can be used and that is great knowledge to have as it will make fit so much easier to not be limited by dual forms. It’s a great big thank you hug from me x

[@kristinpocock5534]

you guys are all awesome! every Friday night I treat myself to your nail videos!! it is so generous of you all to share ur knowledge with everyone... thanks a million! hope you're all ok with the fires up there... had to evacuate last week in oceanside... much love so cal neighbors!! ❤️💛💚

[@CCaravasi]

I absolutely loved experimenting with this technique a couple weeks ago. My application seems more even and structured then before and its still going on strong. I loved the way you studied the most effective technique for us before posting. Thank you! I've only tried this on myself but definitely prefer it to glued tips or hassling with forms on myself. Thank you guys and Tracey for being so awesome at what you do!

[@samonachiles2777]

I am not a professional yet, but when I get there, man I will be a rock star with all the awesome tips and tricks you fella's provide. I've been following you guys for about a year and I am so glad you are back with the new studio and videos that will help me reach my dream of being a master nail tech (one day soon).

[@elizabethdickerson1136]

Guys this is so amazingly simple.... I am a working women that loves to do my own nails and this seems like it would cut my Sunday afternoon nail salon ( lol , my favorite time ) down so I can actually experiment with new colors and nail art!! I love every product and I love the new “ nail school “ series 😍🤩 once again amazing work

[@aprilhobbs25]

I totally agree with what commenter below me said! I can't add anything to it EXCEPT if you don't like wtf they're TEACHING...FOR FREE then please by all means make your own videos with your "original" ideas. These guys are working their asses off to build their company & promote their brand yet, they still have time for new vids a couple times a week for some of you assholes to watch & give them shit over it...If you can do it better THEN DO IT! Greg, Habib and, Tracy thank you for bringing this technique to light for some viewers who hasn't seen this before! As always you guys freakin rock & your LOYAL viewers love everything you put out! A nail techs education never stops or, at least it shouldn't!

[@rhondaarmstrong1303]

Greg you are the best at teaching.Thank you so much!

[@gabrielinadecastro319]

This people know very well what they do! This is the way how people should teach others, they teach with technique, precision, patience, making the subject interesting and very easy to understand, and for us to assimilate the lesson. They know how to emphasize the key points, which we assimiliate very easily and quick and without loosing interest on the subject. Even for me that I never did gel nails.It is very rare to find people with these teaching characteristics, who immediately put the matter in our head, we do not forget what they explained, they are professionals, in my view, more than excellent. They manage the profession with passion and interest in what they teach. In my view, what they do is placing themselves in the place of those who do not know about the matter, like me, and teaching us right from the start of the lesson, and also for those who already practice the profession and want to improve the techniques They, in my view, have a natural tendency towards teaching and have found an exceptional way to teach those who do not know what to do. Excellent videos.

[@purdledragon]

I occasionally use this technique when I’m short of time for doing my own nails. I’m very lucky I’m ambidextrous but I’d imagine this technique with either tips or dual forms makes it a lot easier to do your own dominant hand with your non-dominant hand. With how much even the pros here on KZbin seem to dread doing that I’d imagine techs would welcome a faster, simpler technique. 👌🏻😍

[@cathylarkins9949]

I love this and he explains everything so well!! I never thought of doing gels like this and I'm anxious to try it

[@Ashleyvr-cw2yn]

As usual, no one teaches as thoroughly or with as much technical knowledge as YN. First time I've seen this technique with a tip instead of a dual form and it makes so much more sense. I'm wondering if you could sort of flash cure and then pinch the gel with the tip? Or if the tip would just separate immediately.

[@youngnailsinc]

TY for the nice words

[@junehenriquez7659]

This may not be new to some people but it's new to me and I love it 😍😍😍

[@mariesmith8076]

Greg you a marvelous teacher on this technique. I’ve learned so much from you. Keep up the good work!

[@YorkshireLassWithClass]

Hi,I just want to say a big thank You to you guys. I have really learned a lot from your tutorials and I realised I don’t comment as often as I should but sometimes life gets in the way and I find myself snatching time to view a tutorial so I feel it’s important for me to thank you all and to tell you that you are really appreciated and if I forget to comment it’s not because I don’t value your content,it’s time management on my family commitment. So,thank you all for all you do. Blessings to everyone. 😊👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@growlingcheetah]

I finally got a chance to try this out on a Client and I ended up saving so much time!! I literally had enough time to clean , relax , have a tea before my next Client showed up!! Ohhhhhh you guys are my heroes LOL Seriously though , SWEET!! xoxo Much love from Canada "Cough , cough , Hint , hint.. we want to be able to be part of your future giveaways soon" :D

[@calf6445]

Was the underneath thick as it looked like so in the video? Thank you 😊

[@heatherwelberry1]

Get dual forms and they can be used for acrylic and gel and are a tiny bit thicker. They also have little nubs on the sides that you use to remove them instead of needing a pinching tool. They are made specifically for this use and have been around for years. You can get them at sally's or on eBay or aliexpress for next to nothing like 10 different sizes in a set. They are perfect for this technique with gel or acrylic and work like a charm. They even have little lines marked on them you can use to make sure each nail is sculpted to the exact same length and shape before you place them. They also have a deeper bend in them to allow for a bit thicker application in the apex area for stronger nails eliminating the need for another layer on top after you remove this piece. You put everything inside the dual form and when you take it off the nail you have a perfectly smooth ready to polish nail after some edge filing. Its a much quicker method and you can find hundreds of videos showing the use of dual forms... almost exactly whay he does here except for the extra layer on top and the extra filing... here on KZbin. Just look up dual form. Will take a two hour application to well under an hour once you practice and get good with them. Not a new idea by any means. I've had mine for over 3 years now. But it was a great thought.

I like this way much better than dual forms. I really enjoy the way he does nails. It's so neat and uses minimal shaping afterwards

[@Honeychilecrafts]

Glad I have all these press on nails. Love how excited Greg gets.

[@nathalykirlin4411]

You guys are so innivating! As I know this particular technique isn't new I have never seeing this placement farther from the cuticle so you can still build the Apex and treat it just like a tip genius!!! Love young nails!

[@sistahcool8144]

Love you guys, not only educational, but truly hilarious too. Enjoy watching and am subscribed as well. Keep up the great work, and bring on the wonderful new products.

[@darlaclark4342]

Yes it’s been around for quite awhile, but Greg did the best I have ever seen! ( bravo 👏 Greg)💕

[@jamiebaker8411]

Everyone saying it isn't new...it's dual forms etc sure but it's new for young nails!!! And Greg and Tracy show it can be done with a nail tip as opposed to a special dual forms bought specifically for this techbique. And for those like me, I only watch young nails nail videos, I subscribe to other channels but I watch YN daily so I wouldn't have known this was a technique I could use had it not been for this. Also I wish I could afford this light 😭 mine burns the crap out of me and is so uncomfortable with the heat spikes

[@clb8084]

Jamie Baker Hi :) With a normal light, try staying 10sec before the lamp, in the light, then enter the lamp. And yes..dual tips, nothung new ;)

Maybe it's an idea to play a bit with different brands of gel. I'm a newbie in this world but i hear from others that not all brands cause the same heat.

[@linawilson1333]

Heather W you say you cant watch their videos anymore but you're watching their videos to leave rude comments, that does not make any sense 😂😂😂 wouldn't your time be better spent watching someone you like and learning something new? Since when is enunciating, speaking loudly and clearly so viewers can hear you, and promoting a brand a bad thing or condescending? They are excited about their brand, I would be too if I had my own brand and was able to help and teach people how to use my products the best ways possible. I don't understand your logic, why so much salt? want some pepper with that salt? 😂

For heaven's sake, get a life or use that really cool button over there to unsubscribe.

[@youngnailsinc]

Nice!

[@NailsofNorway]

I did a video on this two months ago! Just with dual forms or popits if you will call it that. I got yelled about for NOT putting my dual forms all the way up to the cuticle area. But as you, I wanted to show that you can use them as tips and then fill them in. In that video I used polygel, but I have also used them with regular gels on the set that I have on right now. So guys, I am glad that you are keeping up with the trends...eventually, lol 😉😉👍

[@Woekkie]

After watching your video and gaining the knowledge they are named dual forms i did a KZbin search on the dual forms and now KZbin shows me that the dual forms are a also used with acrylics and b older than a small child. So thank you for telling me about them, i got the cheap ones from ali and can't wait to try them.

[@NailsofNorway]

Rinie Cassteele-Koedijk Great! I am so glad that you did your research on this😁👍 Just beware that the cheap dual forms that you can get everywhere online does not fit all nails. They are a bit on the small side and if you have high c-curves on your nails they may not cover the sides on your nails. If they do not fit you, I guess that I have the link to the YS nails dual forms from Wish in my video. Good luck on your adventure ! Xoxo 💕

[@Woekkie]

My nail adventure is just starting, so i'm starting with some of the cheaper stuff. The forms came in and fit me, but i'm fortunate i have really small hands. Watching your channel and a few others to find out what's available in this wonderland of nails. I kind of had a 20 year break from make-up and stuff.

[@NailsofNorway]

Rinie Cassteele-Koedijk I am really glad that hear that the forms fit you😊👍 The nail art industry is so addictive, lol I have been doing nails for 4 years now. That is not that long but I still learn and want to try out new things every day 😁 Enjoy your journey 😙💕

[@lindanichols3586]

I have used various dual forms for about two years and have really enjoyed using them with gels and acrylics they can give you great shape and are really fun to work with there are basic ones and arched ones from pro nail andit is tricky but the more you work with them they can be awesome

[@NattiC94]

This is friggin awesome!!! 😱 so much quicker and easier. Especially because I’m not all that confident in my gel application. AMAZING! Thank you.

[@reneebraggs3506]

April McKenzie I have too! I love how detailed Greg gets!

[@heatherwelberry1]

The use of dual forms have been around for years for acrylic and gel. They are basically tips just like these but with little lines printed on them so you can make all the nails the same length. This is so far from new it's odd that such educated men would try and claim it as their own idea. Off putting really.

[@Bryan2011512]

Dual forms can also be done with acrylic

[@sxyshanika]

It's not his idea it's been out there for a while

[@nicolecourtney8688]

Again a great tutorial, guys! I really like your way of teaching. It sticks! But can you tell me what the tune is you use ? I Love it!!

[@dannyslovebug]

I started doing mine like this a couple months ago except I placed the clear nail as close to the cuticle and slightly applied pressure to get all the air bubbles out. There was some gel that escaped from the edges of the clear nail but by me not going completely to the cuticle, it wasn't an issue to buff away. I used to pay a nail technician $50 every other week but now I do them myself (sorry Katie! I love you but...well, you know...lol). I decided 6 months ago that I was done forking out $100+ a month. Before I started using full nail forms, I was building my nails with paper forms. This way is so much faster and easier. Plus, doing the full nail eliminates most filling and shaping. I love this way and it looks so good!

[@myraccoonandallthingssparkaly]

I love these forms they cut out all the middle work. It is very enjoyable time-saving and a great application. I love these things.

This is such an awesome technique. I know it will take serious practice, especially in my case. My question is... would it, could it even be possible to do a French using this technique or the duel form technique?? One thing is for sure it would be a hella challenge. If the grandmaster is up for it, I would die to see it done! Thank you for all the nail school and biz talk videos, they are priceless and the best inspiration and motivation.

[@chanlagrand8427]

Love the enthusiasm!! I'm stoked to get started and am feeling more confident. Ignore the lames on here that would rather live a dry life with no joy. The exterminator is coming for them shortly :)

[@youngnailsinc]

thanks for the support happy you enjoy the videos

[@Magdaivelisse]

Oooooo mmmmmyyyy god! You have no idea how much this means to me. I practice this technique last night. And BAM !💥, Considering that it was my first time trying, I’m in shock 😱 on how perfect it came out, Thank you! thank you! thank you!🙏.

[@youngnailsinc]

That is awesome!!! 💖💖💖

[@divadollflawless]

Love you guys! Greg’s enthusiasm is contagious. 👌🏽💪🏽

[@Heatherboothe]

I just love watching Greg work. I hope this doesn't come out mean, I prefer Greg's work over Tracy's. I've watch enough videos to be able to compare, and when Greg teaches it and explains it, my brain just grasps onto the information better.

[@youngnailsinc]

We all have different teaching methods that's what gives us such a great team

[@debragrimm6820]

Very cool! I have dual forms, but hard to fit my wide nails👍😊

[@tunnasch]

Dual forms have such a high c-curve! I've tried every which way with them: more gel, less gel, no form underneath, a form underneath. I do just need to try a tip that works with my nail.

[@itsjustme9829]

Tracy U check aliexpress pls. I found some grait dualforms in 14 sizes. I cant even use sizes 0 to 4 coz they are way to big for my nails.

[@ertfgghhhh]

Check out amazon. They even fit my TOES. Made by koper

[@rebeccajay2262]

He's *not* using dual forms. Tips produce a COMPLETELY different result when using dual forms.

[@sharonharding9500]

Amazing work you guys rock . Love this industry always learning something new. You keep us motivated and excited . Thankyou

[@Lisa-qi4sz]

OMG I tried with a normal clear tip and it is awesome. I sculpt all the time. Super excited about trying this on a client. Did not use a dual tip. You guys are the bomb.

[@Lisa-qi4sz]

So when doing a full set of nails you can put 5 nails on then cure or is it best to do one at a time? Do you have a clear build gel that has the same consistency as the pink concealer.

[@kattyholmes6063]

Thats not new..it like dual forms..

[@NathalieBreault]

Casey Peace i agree with you. This is not new at all

[@shernicafields2339]

Yup that they are🤔😂

[@QubilahHarden]

That’s what I was thinking.

[@PaulinhaCardoso88]

Exactly. Been using dual forms with acrylic for years. My next challenge will be dual forms with happy gel.

[@KhoaNguyen-yr3qe]

It is dual forms

[@banannahannah]

Wouldn't your free edge be so thick and uneven underneath?

[@jnorlem8050]

banannahannah the whole nail is sooooo THICK, right??!? Under & on top both. Ick. Cheap = Trash. U get what u pay for. I’ll keep going to high end salons, thank u. I’m supporting the economy amyway.😁💅🏻💵

[@rebeccajay2262]

@boss - not necessarily. It's up to the artist's personal technique. But, if the free edge does end up a bit thick, simply smooth and even it out before curing. Greg's looked GREAT, not thick at all. He's obviously been working on this for a while. In fact, I actually prefer it a teeny bit thicker.

[@janecotelos2240]

That is crazy amazing! Great class!

[@latinloop]

I learned this in 2015. This technique isn’t new. But amazing application! Lovely work as always!! ❤️😀

[@Creepynightmarre]

dual forms nothing new. i have been using this for acrylic years ago. but still prefer regular forms cuz then i know that i have Perfect smooth bottom of nails and nice c curve.

[@heatherwelberry1]

floxy me too. Dual forms are also thicker and allow everything done in one layer along with far less filing and a great c curve I don't know why anyone would want to use a flimsy tip and start halfway down the nail.

[@Creepynightmarre]

I don't really know how to feel about this. nail after this is still thin there is no apax you still need to build and shape this nail and double cure gel with a form. its the same time as doing with paper forms. also i like to use pinching tool.

[@Key_1111]

floxy Use paper forms under to get a smooth perfect bottem and still use the dual form.

[@Creepynightmarre]

it says no tips no forms...

[@debnazario7226]

floxy i agree

[@DanteVelasquez]

I like this better than dual forms.

[@barbhill4320]

Awesome, can't wait to try this. Love you guys and your enthusiasm.

[@laurablackwood174]

OMG you have just made my life so much EASIER💖💖💖😍😍

[@gabriale80]

But this is dual form? Can you do the same whit acrilic?

[@soffia0902]

Martina Lo Bosco dual forma are different looking but basically yes. And indeed you can use acrylic for this

[@rebeccajay2262]

NO! These are NOT dual forms. The look very similar, but you'll get a COMPLETELY different result. He's using a clear full cover tip. And yes, acrylic can also be used

[@aliciahowes8283]

I wish I could get one lesson with him. I just need help getting the perfect pearl and learn how to keep the nails on and not lift!!

[@tigergypsymomma7304]

alicia Howes they have a video about getting the perfect pearl. And no lift is all in the prep work!

[@moniquebotes6891]

Wow, thats amazing😍 LOVE IT

[@nancylawrence8491]
