Nail School | Beginner's Guide to Shaping Acrylic Nails

[@ladytnails9615]

Free knowledge is great, but the best knowledge for free is the best. Thank you Greg. You are a blessing.

Here I come to the party all late but better late than never. This video is right on time for me. As a beginner you struggle with most things if not all. Shaping is a big struggle for me. I now can apply your most useful life saving techniques while I’m shaping. It will only get better from here! Thanks Greg!

[@aurimateo6723]

Thank you!!!!!! You can’t go wrong with lessons from [YN]!!!!

[@ckombe00]

Thank you so much, I was just telling my husband “baby if I perfect my shaping , I’m gone to be winning. “ and here you go with a video. 🙏🏾

[@Dontgiveup964]

I feel the same way 💅

[@xxSydneyFox]

Yesss! That's what I think too! So many people do misshapen nails and it bugs me so much lol

[@kellyeverleth4027]

Greg, you are absolutely the most informative, comprehensive, and reliable source of knowledge on acrylic application that I have had the privilege of watching over the past year, when I set out on my nail journey. I attended one of your "all about acrylic" webinars a few months back yet was unable to follow along due to covid-19 but will most definitely be signing up again and with any luck perhaps I will get the pleasure of attending one if your week long on site classes. You probably hear this all the time but I can't help but say it anyway that you truly are one of the best if not the best role model for those who, like me, are embarking on this often frustrating endeavor and more importantly those of us that see the value in doing it the right way, even when it seems that there might be an easier, or faster way of executing the perfect application. And also the advantages of using quality products from the very beginning, and alleviating the question of is it my technique, or is this just a crappy product. With YN products in my toolbox I am confident and honestly ten steps ahead of the game. Thank you for your dedication, and for always giving so freely of such valuable tips. Young Nails ROCKS!!!

Recapping again always so good to be able to look up videos when I'm feeling like I'm not doing my very best work. To recap on the proper technique 👌 thank you.

[@margaritaalmodovar9541]

I am 55 year old and I just started learning, I presently suffering from a lot a conditions and your videos help me focus and inspire! Blessings!

[@mariahjane7969]

Thank you for showing up. I really appreciate that you take that time even though you doubt have to. When you spoke about that notch before I reached down and my nail had the notch so I added that to my nail knowledge.

[@theonebaddy88]

My shaping routine has improved 1000% because of Greg's videos. It's really amazing to see such an improvement. THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH!! Your knowledge is invaluable!! Big, virtual, covid safe, hugs to you!!! 🤗🤗

[@katrinasheets2997]

Geez. Greg.....you are amazing. Not just because of the amazing work you do, but your willingness to do these educational videos consistently. I hope you know how much it is appreciated. I know it sounds cheesy, but I truly feel honored to be able to learn from you in this capacity. The content you provide, as well as the entire YN team, is by far the BEST available on this platform. You blow me away. I look forward to seeing your videos each day and have learned more from you than I ever thought possible. THANK YOU SO SO MUCH!!!!

[@margaritaalmodovar9541]

Helps me with my depression and physical challenges!

[@tinaroebuck2016]

I paid £3000 plus for a Diploma in Nail Technology 2019-20! I basically paid for a piece of paper and became a qualified nail tech watching Young Nails educational videos! Thank you guys for all the amazing content you put out there for free. 👍👌😎💕

[@davidkloster8961]

Yeah Tina I am not sure of where you are from but most States require us to have so many accredited hours from an accredited school. I learned many years ago that some of these schools that are considered accredited confuse me on how & where they receive that accreditation. I am 47 I went to cosmetology school before there was a KZbin girl I use to drive my instructors NUTS because I asked to many questions & i questioned them, to the point that finally their frustration with me became too much... We all need to be thankful for KZbin. We are now able to receive quality help. Thank god. We aren't limited to what & who lives in the cities we live in.

[@karenmcdoanld8805]

Thank you!! Always great to go back and refresh your method of filing!!

[@tiawhite2498]

Very good tips 👍🏽 I must admit I love your cover pink acrylic and the way it self levels.

[@nouritesoussi3967]

[@sagittarius.bossup2837]

Practicing this technique now!!!!! And see a huge difference!!!! Ty 💙💙💙💙

[@ssc4153]

What really sucks is filing and shaping on your own hands. I have a tendency to over file the sidewalls and getting notches. I am going to practice your advice. Thanks Greg!

[@gabbydagostino2842]

[@brendagarcia9531]

Thank you soo much , I really needed this video.

[@minutemaid9282]

Great video! I've been hoping for a video like this. I do my own nails and shaping has always been a struggle for me. For some reason its harder for me to see the shape on myself than when doing someone else's nails. I'll take all the knowledge I can get! Thank you YN!

[@erinaitchison2521]

Loved it, very helpful! Thank you 😍

[@carolynbrooks892]

[@margaritaalmodovar9541]

You are awesome, thank you!

[@xandersmomsamby]

Just wondering if we can get an updated shaping video with the common nail shapes and how to file them correctly? Shaping is so important and I'd love to get better at it and you guys are great teachers.

[@youngnailsinc]

Thank you for the suggestion, we will let the team know.

[@jacksonfiscus]

Love this video. Maybe I missed it, but did you mention what file # you are working with? Thanks for explaining about the notches, that was driving me crazy! 💜

[@youngnailsinc]

Greg was working in 10,000 rpm to shape the nail

[@Slimebouncy]

Wowww👍 so nice ♥️♥️💙👌👌👏👏

[@noa9180]

Hey Greg what bit did you use to shape the nail & create your C-Curve?

[@youngnailsinc]

he is using our right handed safety bit. You can use out coarse safety bit it our left handed safety bit as well.

[@shirleysworld6818]

Is Greg British 🇬🇧? He has such a dry sense of humor, I love ❤️ it 🤣🤣 “Are you trying to start a 🔥 it’s not working.”

[@Jazzi_Jeff]

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@الشمس-ن6ج]

I from Iraq and ilove so much

[@sandrathompson800]

How do you not hurt the clients finger when you're getting close to the hand with the file?

[@youngnailsinc]

No, you just have to make sure you are seasoning your files. You dull the edges by running another file along them.

[@raya74]

What happened to the builder gel video? Why is it on private now🤔

[@youngnailsinc]

Sorry about that the builder gel video was a video we already had uploaded, you can find it here 😊: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pmbKnX2ba7iKl5o
