“How do two brothers get into the nail care business?” This is the single most common question people ask us. There’s a long and rocky version but we’ll give you the short one. We have our fearless and unconventional mother, Young Salo, to thank. With a single-minded entrepreneurial spirit, she decided to start her own business at the age of 49. She had a passion for the nail industry and we did everything in our power to support her. In the end, this is a family business.
Greg, the older brother, became a licensed nail technician after switching gears from fire fighter’s training. He is energy personified and has a true passion for developing the best professional nail care products and education. Habib is the younger brother. He jumped in a few years later; taking a detour from medical school and a life in music. He brings his own creative mind for business, marketing and strategy. Unexpectedly, we are a perfect team.
Today, more than 20 years later, Young Nails Inc., is a professional nail care manufacturing company exporting to over 40 countries worldwide and distributing domestically to over 3000 stores. We’re respected for our next-level product innovation and education. Our mission is to bring you the best quality products and we’ll show you how to use them with incredible results. It’s really that simple.
Welcome to the Young Nails family!

[@toniliddell9173]

Thank you for this incredible video. Just one question please - I noticed you used protein bond. Was there a reason you didn't use primer and base coat after nail prep?

[@youngnailsinc]

Protein bond is our non-acid primer. You don’t need to use another one with it. Also , there is not a base coat required before applying acrylic on the nails.

[@SamanthasJamaicanSkinCare]

Thanks your a great teacher

[@rhondaarmstrong6790]

King of nails! Great video's!

[@cmayo5659]

Is there acrylic in the glitter? Did you say do not file a plastic tip? If this was done on a full cover nail would you file the nail? Would you put a thin layer of acrylic before doing the flowers on a full cover nail or do them straight on the nail? Ty! I have never done any 3D, I bought a 3D brush that's calling my name, this video is exactly what I needed to see! Great view of the tip/C curve! I appreciate seeing what yours look like! 👍

[@theserialbunny424]

Thank you so much for this fundamentals class

[@callmeme1898]

Since you ve made this set on tracey on a " how much" series i was in love with this design and startet practising. This technik is explained so good and makes it so easy , so that i can do it now. Thanks therefor. I have a white acrylic with sparkles in it and omg this looks so stunning. Every bride wants this nails😃i wish i could order yn products but the taxes may be way too high to ship to Europe i guess. Thanks ; Greg , for all this " free" education. It helped me so much. You are an AWESOME nailtech / nailmaster. You really are! Great idol . When i look on the nails i ve made 2 years ago and the nails i make today. Wow! It is like day and night. It really depends on experience. Once you understand technik , archidekture and all that it all makes sence. I am wondering if it is possible doing those flowers / similar design with polygel.

[@drewsmoma]

Great video. Thanks 😊

What Do The Bubbles Mean Inside Of The Clear Acrylic ? This Video Was Bomb Af To Watch! I’ve Learned A New Technique & I’m About To Get Started!

[@youngnailsinc]

you need a wetter brush which will allow your product to flow down and self level. Less patting of the product

[@perlaflores5376]

Wish I was able to use your amazing looking products 🥺😍🤩

You guys are just amazing!!!!❤ Love your videos! They are so very helpful and inspirational! 😍❤😍❤

[@rheaware1042]

I can’t wait to practice this design 😍😍😍

[@chichiacevedo]

Love the video!! Do you think you would be able to do a video just teaching how to cap and keep the apex? I seem to have trouble keeping my apex and sometimes it comes out lumpy even by doing what you did... it's breaking my head. (Beginning nails learning on my own 😝)

[@Namkhao1]

Love it so much 😍

[@luxeacrylic3082]

I wanna learn this design, I saved this video... I been doing nails 2years I still can't get the 3D flowers yet I haven't learned cause mt clients never asked for it but I have to I really love this design and this effect wow amazing

This is what I want to do this this type of work and art.

[@oxBadiaxo]

Do you take the form off after you put it under the UV lamp? I haven't seen you use a UV lamp, is it a specific monomer that you are using?

Awesome video and art work! Loved this style of nail. Question: Does YN sell the cuticle pusher/pressure adjustment tool ?

[@youngnailsinc]

yes we do, it's called a magic wand

[@rhondabattle8238]

Yesss other great video

[@ALLISONCROCS]

How long did it take you to master this? I'm curious bcs I'm feeling frustrated (i started today and of course didn't come out right 🙃)

[@youngnailsinc]

3D is a very detailed skill. It may take some time and practice until you feel comfortable! Don't get frustrated! One of the biggest challenges people tend to have is that they use too big of a brush and pick up too much product. Start with very small pearls and we recommend using the YNI Gel Sculptor if you are a beginner. Just make sure to have a separate brush that you use for 3D acrylic (don't use the same brush for your gel applications).

[@NailsbyZylah]

Hello do u not sell this brush for flowers anymore? Which should I get in place of this brush ? Thanks in advance

[@youngnailsinc]

We do not have our 3D brush anymore. You can use our gel sculptor brush or there is a brush in our new brush set that is similar.

[@BabyxBandit]

That was yet another amazing video! What other shapes can you do! -excited-

[@BBB-rd2qi]

This is very helpful. Thank u!

[@catpride1323]

Because there are no sharp corners to your nail, I would say it a Long Tapered Squoval !! 😊

[@VioletaR-vk3iy]

Which drill bit should we use to remove acrylic?

[@youngnailsinc]

We like our coarse safety bit or x-cut bit.

[@User729__p]

What size brush would YN recommend using to create 3D flowers?

[@youngnailsinc]

Unfortunately, our 3D art brush is discontinued. You can use our gel sculptor brush as an alternative. It is a size 5. www.youngnails.com/products/yni-gel-sculptor

[@User729__p]

@@youngnailsinc oh no! Thank you for the comment.

[@cmayo5659]

First?! Hi Greg!

[@marilynmercado1930]

I can't do this i can't seem to do it does it have to be bright white cuz I have the speed white and it doesn't seem to make the petals

[@VioletaR-vk3iy]

Hi what number of sanding should be used on natural nail and on acrylic?

[@youngnailsinc]

We use our 150 grit sanding band.

[@joannemccrary9961]

Where do I purchase the nail art brush for the 3d flower.

[@youngnailsinc]

unfortunately we no longer sell the 3D art brush.

What is the ratio of acetone to monomer?

[@AidenPlayzRBLX]

Early

[@aclinmedina710]

You add acetone to what ?

[@youngnailsinc]

To our monomer

[@NAIL-ARTEXTENTUONS]

U r my teacher

[@neevripp1584]

#verticalvideo is what got me hahahaha

[@youngnailsinc]

Thank you for the feedback. These nail school videos come from Greg teaching live on Instagram or TikTok which is why the videos are vertical unlike our other filmed demos.

[@ashleylujan5430]

You mention *the acetone at 12:20, can you explain further?

[@youngnailsinc]

You can add a few drops of acetone to your monomer when doing the flowers only as it will help set the acrylic up a bit faster. You don't want to do this for any other part of acrylics because it could mess with the integrity of the enhancement.

[@buttersmith4610]

What’s the name of the brush

[@youngnailsinc]

The brush he uses to sculpt the nail is Greg's Signature Brush but the one he uses for the 3D art has actually been discontinued. We still have our Gel Sculptor which is very similar and works great for 3D acrylic designs. Just make sure to use it for either acrylic or gel, but do not use it for both so the products stay separate. www.youngnails.com/products/yni-gel-sculptor?_pos=24&_sid=c33eacb2b&_ss=r

[@primpednpolished]
