Nail School | How to Remove and Reapply Gel Polish - Vertical Video

[@nickiealtieri-enochs1914]

That "over-grip" tip has been a game changer for me. Plus I can really pinch back the skin around the sidewalls. 💯👍🏼😁

[@scherie88]

I'm going to also try that.

[@stardustfactory8311]

Yess! My clients so far are only family members and they know I’m not a pro yet so they always have things to say about how I’m doing the work. I started using this grip and it’s both easier to maneuver the finger AND to block them from seeing the process. It allows me to think better when it’s just me & the nails.

It does not surprise me that you’re busy at all your work is phenomenal 🙂

[@Shauna_02]

I’m so excited to try to do my nails myself. I hope I can remember all I’ve learned today , I’ll process it in my sleep but your videos are amazing .

[@OTseven]

You're just the absolute best. I'm in nail school now. Watched a ton of your videos 6 months prior to school. Was totally new to the whole technology of nails and service. I've got to say, your vids are more correct and higher quality than any other tech I've seen. Your tips are awesome. And your care is incredible. School teaches that bonds and acetone aren't "toxic". Completely untrue. Your training on using efile to remove gel polish as well as acrylic sculptures is so so so much healthier for clients nails, and lu n gs and whole body. SOAK ( acetone) sucks. I trust you and I absolutely live you.❤ by the way, your acid free protein bond is healthy and effective. Thank you. Also, the school has a contract with a different line of products for students...YET, the instructors all agree that YN products are the best and they personally use YN. Lol. Lol. Students all agree that YN is the best, too. So they promote your products even though the school as an institution promotes and sells a different line. I buy your products, too. THANK YOU. LOVE TO YOU ALL.

[@naomiwiehahn4035]

I just love watching your videos, as I learn so much, that I never new. I am not a qualified nail technician, but love nail products and i do my own nails.

[@nailsbyana.carolina]

We all learn something new everyday!! Young nails make the best videos 💕

[@cmayo5659]

Same here! Love these guys! No qualifications here either. I wouldn't mind getting a license but I don't want to go to beauty school, I only want to do nails. To charge money you are supposed to have a license in most places right? I am in LOVE with NAILS! 💅🥰🖌️

[@nurseforlife1336]

Your teaching vocabulary is superb!!!!!

[@miRey1]

I needed this so bad, my gel polish would always run in sidewalls. Thank you!!

[@kathytarman2302]

Great video. The colors are so beautiful. Thank you for sharing the right way to take gel polish off and new gel polish on. Thank you again. Please stay safe and healthy.

[@debrazeerp4085]

Greg this is the second time I watch your amazing tutorial, and it is just amazing that in 30 minutes you removed and re-applied that gel mani.👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻I am blown away and delighted to watch you getting the job done. Thanks for such awesome demonstration, I love your work! Thx so much!💕

[@devon7584]

I have never seen a nail tech do the one stripe first and then go back and apply, and we were not taught that in nail school. Will have to try it to see if it works well.

[@michellelardin834]

I absolutely love the dust collector! I really need to get some of these safety bits.

[@misslk84]

Amazing video as always, your teaching is very much appreciated and any time I need to refresh on O always look up your videos. I was not taught half this stuff in nail class. These videos are such a valuable catalogue of information to help make me a better nail technician. 👌😁

[@kathyb4448]

Just finished watching your video and I subscribed instantly! Such great tips for home gel nails.

[@elizabethware6693]

Since I’ve started using the efile following Greg’s directions life has been sooooo much better!!

Such great work! I’m working on getting my manicure time down to at the most 45 minutes. I’m definitely going to try that tickling method for removing the polish. Thanks.

[@jnefitemayep1433]

How long does it usually take you to do a full set of nails or fill in?

[@carolineedwards4709]

Extremely good demonstration for gel polish technique. Great tip about filing insofar as not damaging and breaking the seal when filling at the end of the manicure as there are many misconceptions about this as I was led to believe it broke the seal so now we know it won't do damage. Thanks.💅

[@DauphinPourpre]

I just found your channel. Thank you for your videos. I'm just learning how to my own gel manicures, a self care treat. Your videos and your products are very helpful.

[@nickiebledsoe6302]

I think it looks good for a fast sufficient application! 🙂 Also I agree that soaking off flipping sucks! Lol but love gel! 🙂🙂❤️

Thank you Sharing Gel Polish is Important I learned a lot from this Tutorial .😊

[@boogzmay9532]

I’m just curious how come you never filed the free edge I did see you cut it but I never seen you file it to straighten it out and as you put the base coat on I seen lots of indentations on the free edge was that just a mistake???

[@lauragarcialg90]

Even in the small details such a great teacher

[@chc717]

Loved this, thank you. Could you possibly do a video on working with oily nails Including how different types of primer can help please?

hey Greg great video i was wondering if you could pls make a video on how to apply gel or even normal nail polish on nails that are really short and the free edge doesn’t go past the tip of the finger because i always struggle with this and get it all over the tip of the finger lol thanks again for the great video it was a great refresher

Wow that manicure looks amazing 🤩. I’m getting sooooooo pumped for this Black Friday sale! I hope I can get everything that I want. Love you guys and your products.

[@amandaconstanza]

I think I need more practice with the e-file because it takes me sooo loooong

[@janinnearias2768]

So true, soaking sucks! Loving the feather technique 😃💅🏻 Can’t wait to try this on my next gel polish client!

[@impressionsbyangie7418]

thnx guys, luv u all!!! xxoo

[@jennytocool]

3weeks?! I wish my nails grew that fast lol

[@youngnailsinc]

I actually think it was a bit longer than that but like Greg said it's been a crazy few weeks and time has gotten away from us lol

[@terio3955]

No you don't. Some day it would be nice to go 3 weeks without needing a fill without it looking too out grown

[@robing5810]

You should use your base coat gel that's in builder kit, it don't pull away. It's AMAZING! You weren't zoomed in but from the distance, it looks like the color pulled away from cuticle. Maybe it's just the shape of her natural cuticle. Thank you for showing us the proper way to do this. I'm tearing up my natural nails.

[@lacie_the_esthi2616]

So at my spa, we soak the nails in water in the beginning to soften the cuticles.. we also massage the hands and arms with lotion… when should I use the drill on the nail bed to get off any oils?

[@youngnailsinc]

If you are applying enhancements, we do not recommend soaking the nails or applying lotions or oils prior to the service. We would follow the steps for prepping (push back cuticles, remove shine with the efile and medium sanding band, cleanse with Swipe and apply 2 coats of Protein Bond), apply and finish your enhancements. Once the enhancements are finished, then you can apply any oils, lotions, scrubs, etc. This way the water or oils won't interfere with your adhesion prior to application.

[@elmel2230]

What about capping the free edge?

[@Cpr-uw4ki]

Best method of e file removal (bits and speeds) using Erica e file on mani q on natural nails (also do I need to remove base coat each time) and even more pressing, how to go about go time removal from natural nails given no base coat?! Thanks in advance Greg!

[@BeautyBlemishes]

What type of bit are you using for the cuticles? Is that a sanding bit?

[@hcarroll22]

You did a video where you used slick pour on the conversion base, then gel polish and top coat. When would you use that technique instead of the one taught in this video? Thank you for your concise and patient way you teach!

[@jentleasmr]

He used that technique for someone with weak, brittle nails and this technique I guess is for someone who’s nails are stronger

[@SRose-zb2so]

Thanks for the great gel tips💅!

[@helenaorphanides8112]

Great video. Thx guys☺️

[@5ive9inefx]

Good morning. Love it.

[@sunnyf26]

So informative! I just had an issue with my polish “shrinking.” Thank you!

[@michelleoss-payne9641]

Hey Greg! Questions...E-file speed 8k, with medium safety bit? Also, when you're "tickling," are you actually touching the nail going both directions? Or are you just touching when pulling toward you, and lifting when going away? Thank you! I never stop learning from you!

[@TuizaLilia]

They are always only touching the nail on one direction, never back and forth, only towards you

[@youngnailsinc]

Greg used the safety bit, coarse. Only going in one direction towards himself

[@shannonthorp9756]

Come on! I’ve been doing my own nails for 10 plus years just started using an e- file ( a cheap one I’ll be purchasing yours on Black Friday 😁) anyway I followed all these steps and my nails came out fantastic! Love you guys are great and thanks for always having THE best videos!

#gamechanger👌🏾 I have gained a tremendous amount of Knowledge from you guys 😌😌😌😌🔥🔥

[@SamMcFad]

No capping free edge and filing after application - makes me nervous for chipping????

[@CherryBlossomNailArt]

Protein bond is the trick and it prevents chipping from the edges

[@michellelardin834]

I never cap natural nails. People pick their teeth and stuff and that always leads to chipping in my experience.

[@NailDesignsByDenise]

I typically use the same techniques with my e-file to remove the product, and then I proceed as I would with a gel polish application (push cuticles, use small cuticle bit, swipe, protein bond, etc...). I noticed that you skipped the step of pushing back and cleaning the cuticles before the protein bond, like you would with any standard service. Is that because you used the diamond bit to feather around the cuticles? Just curious to see your take on this step. Your feedback is appreciated.💅🏻💗💗💗

[@OTseven]

I'm curious too.

[@samanthanicholson9015]

Can over fileing lead to infection or very sensitive nails after? My auntie can't go back to the lady somehow ended up with something on her toes; i told her to go see doctor and get that checked out. Do you recommend the gel remover that are selling in a bottle? My friend trying it and i told her to look up your videos for how to remove gel. Im hoping she will get help removing her nail colors i saw her nail beds were looking raw or pink in center.😢

[@youngnailsinc]

Over filing wouldn’t necessarily cause an infection unless it broke the skin or they completely filed through the nail plate and the nail bed/soft tissue is open. If this happens, it opens the skin and could allow bacteria in. Definitely encourage your auntie to consult with her doctor to get treatment if necessary. It’s best to take care of an infection sooner rather than later. If you are wanting us soak off enhancements, we recommend using straight acetone. Some other “nail remover” products can be too harsh or even corrosive.

[@samanthanicholson9015]

@@youngnailsinc cool thanks, is there a way to speed up removal of gel color using acetone?

[@alizefitzgerald8720]

When wiping the dispersion layer for if it pulled away, can that trick work with any gel base that does that?

[@youngnailsinc]

Unfortunately, we can't speak on other brands as we don't test them. We trust this video on removing and reapplying gel polish met your expectations.

This is perfect... thank u Master Greg!💕💋🙏

[@tammymccollum2432]

So on a gel polish you don’t push back the cuticle like when applying acrylic?

[@juliechristie2105]

He pushed the cuticle back when he was using the standing band, ie buffing the natural nail.

[@teohernandez8015]

Me encanta todos sus trabajo

[@lindahensberg5331]

WOW thank you! Learned so much from this video!

[@countrystrong3848]

Wonder if it isn't necessary to cap the ends with polish?

[@dtrain9203]

So you file and shape the nail after the polish has been applied? 🤔

[@michelleoss-payne9641]

It's really just refining the shape after the polish is applied. Sometimes the gel polish application adds some bulk to the original filing that is easily refined with a fine grit file.

[@iNanieke]

So how do we practice 'feathering', when we don't have that kind of speed yet? Is there a way to practice it slow?

[@youngnailsinc]

You can practice on a trainer hand or fake nails.

[@cynthiadowling6783]

How do you file your dominant hand? Thank you for a very informative video.

are you going back and forth or only touching the nail when you come towards yourself ?

[@youngnailsinc]

You only go in one direction towards yourself and then pick it up and start back at the beginning point.

[@danceallnight1693]

Thank you so much this was really informative. The one thing that I was surprised about was you filing the edges after you applied the set, I thought that would break the seal of the top go on the capped edge? Or does it not do that?

[@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.

[@nurseforlife1336]

@YoungNailsInc is that a240 file you use at the end? I am a DIY person trying to get my gel polish to last longer on my self and my sister I bought the protein bond (game changer!!!!!!) but thank you for teaching me how to polish correctly and hold the bottle and hand. I realized I was doing that wrong annnnnd despite thinking I wasn’t using a lot of polish I clearly was. I have watched and rewatched this video and will continue to.

You don’t cure our protein bond. Once you apply it to all 10 nails, you are good to apply the second coat and then after all 10 again your product.

What file bit to use for removing the gel polish?

[@youngnailsinc]

safety bit, coarse(:

[@Nailsbyana8]

So taking care of the cuticles should be separate when the client just wants a gel polish color? Or should it be included

[@youngnailsinc]

The cuticles were prepped in this video. Typically we don’t recommend cutting cuticles. Pushing back and using an e-file to clean up usually does the job.

Can you do a video on someone removing gel polish from themselves? I have a hard time positioning the drill with my non dominant hand.

[@youngnailsinc]

if you are right handed and you are e-filing your right hand using your left, you switch to reverse depending on which way your right hand is facing. If that makes sense. If you have your fingers bent downward into your palm like almost making a fist, you use reverse. If you work on your right hand while it is flat facing away from you keep it in forward.

[@watkinsnailtech1]

Thank you for sharing, I just ordered several bits for my e file from YN, my question is, do you have remove all of the base coat before reapplying?

[@andreacelemin7317]

I don't understand, why sometimes, some nails, you apply the gel color and it lasts up to 3 weeks and other times it only lasts 1 week and it peels at the point. Which id the reason?

[@youngnailsinc]

It could depend on different types of gel although we can't really speak on other brands as we do not test them. Prep is really key to long lasting application. What are your steps to prepping the natural nails.

[@misse286]

How did you get that ring light above you like that?

[@angelalowe5747]

Why. Did you put the cuticle back ?

[@youngnailsinc]

You need to push the cuticles back to expose the protein growth on the nails.
