Do's and Don'ts of Apex Structure

[@jackiestinnett380]

I always feel like I owe YN's some money after I watch their videos. I can't believe they post all of this education for Free! Lol. They are extremely helpful and I am so grateful that they do this. Thank you!

[@melanielangham7033]

Thanks! We beginners watch 100s of videos and watch everyone started in the middle. I appreciate this more than I can let you know.

[@youngnailsinc]

Glad to help!

[@mariaarias1703]

Dame here i learn something new cuz i always started in the middle I'ma do it like this now

[@ajsajs5560]

That helped me so much....I was taught to start at free edge🥺wasted hundreds of dollars from another company & I got frustrated & nearly gave up...BUT since seeing your videos I can see where I was going wrong & why it was taking too long to do a full set of 💅...WOOOOHOOOO, I AM NOW A 'YN' DEVOTEE, have subscribed, joined & can't wait for my new YOUNG NAIL products to arrive next week🎉🥳💅👏🎁🎉💅THANKS GREG👍😊🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺

[@kimberlyandre7899]

I don’t mind spending money with this company because you all really care and put time into explaining these steps in detail. I will always support this company.

[@chickadee8180]

Omg you're a wizard. That was *chef's kiss*

[@latinaw8287]

What's so sad is that I was taught in nail school to build my nails from the tip to the cuticle area using the 3 ball method and I have always struggled wit nails too thick...this is why! Thanks for educating us on the proper way to do 3 balls!!!

[@youngnailsinc]

Not sad, all schools teach that way. Many companies have their own techniques (similar to hair) so finding what works for you after school is where you learn to perfect your craft

[@chanagotchupressd5303]

Same here

[@oriannaabramson-jackson1296]

Same here 🙋🏾‍♀️🤦🏾‍♀️

[@clandestinechaos9009]

OMG I was explaining this to my mummy.

[@mirsepulveda1]

Saaaaaame! 3 bead method is how my school teaches and it sucks. I can’t seem to do a moderate sized nail. It’s always too thick. This video is soooo good.

[@roseygold2216]

He does it flawlessly, it makes me feel like I can do it.🥰

[@youngnailsinc]

You can!

[@felly732]

Mee too explained perfect 💓

[@brendam420]

You’re the best teacher hands down !

[@youngnailsinc]

Thank you ❤️❤️

[@itsmfnkai]

That’s crazy how perfect the nail ended up being. You didn’t even file or anything and it was absolutely perfect.

[@viciousclaws2489]

I love learning from the best !!

[@ahsat1020]

Thank u so much Greg for explaining this❤❤

[@cherishdelorme4383]

This is exactly what I do and I didn't realize that was alot of my problems! I love that these videos come up everyday with the issues I'm currently having xx

[@youngnailsinc]

You're so welcome!

[@karenwalker4476]

BEST TECHNIQUES ALWAYS! This is why Young Nails have been successful for so long and continue to be! Greg is the OG Nail Master!

[@youngnailsinc]

❤️💖 Thank you!

[@empogirl]

I can listen and watch all day of my life ! Greg is just the best mentor guru teacher ever!

[@youngnailsinc]

Thanks for watching

[@courtneylane2699]

This just taught me so much! Thank you

[@lisadigings1410]

BINGO! I did my best nail EVER after watching this video. It’s absolutely correct and now I know why my nails were always chunky, thick and mis-shaped. Like the other people say, thousands of videos from reputable professionals say we should begin at the nail edge. It’s taken eighteen months struggling and almost giving up trying to teach myself, as everywhere was shut during lockdown. YOU ARE A GENIUS, LEGEND AND STAR 🤩 Thank you Thank you Thank you xxxxx I will not watch anyone else for training now. Wish I lived in the USA to attend your school 🥰

[@therealghostgirl]

The Beginners putting on forms successfully comment was awesome. No one but a nail tech that uses forms understands how true that statement is!

[@grayalafam4839]

Why are they both so fine? Lol I could watch these guys all day. Great teachers. ❤️

[@youngnailsinc]

Thanks

[@grayalafam4839]

[@yoojseoable]

I would love to see a video like this for gel but with a more medium or active length. 😁

[@youngnailsinc]

More videos coming daily

[@missbindiboop]

Yes! Please show with Gel!

[@els5868]

Yes gel please....most of your videos are with acrylic 😩

[@youngnailsinc]

More videos coming daily. Over 1000 videos on the channel demonstrating both acrylic and gel

[@natoyawilson8449]

[@LinaLina-wn4dp]

Got it! Work from cuticle to free edge! Thanks again Greg!

[@sarahbatchelder8850]

Nobody can compete with young nails education they be bringing top notch tips lol

[@youngnailsinc]

Thanks

[@thearmchairjournalist566]

Gotta say I’m addicted to your channel 😍 Starting my training next year, so getting in early with all the master tips! 49 yrs old and starting my new avenue of life, been a polish freak for years, gonna take it pro! 💅🎉💜👌🤩

[@Iama1asupernova]

You are always teaching greatness!

[@youngnailsinc]

I appreciate that!

[@candacechampion497]

YOUR AMAZING! Thank you thank you thank you!!!!

[@kirbytimblin8023]

I qualified 8 weeks ago in acrylic application and I was taught to start from the tip and work back, I've found my nails to turn out so thick and I had alot of filing to do to make them look better. I am going to try working from the cuticle down and see how I go. I love these videos

[@3isaiah61]

YOU GUYS ARE SOOO AMAZING!! TYSM :)

[@natashahooks2974]

This just changed my whole life I'm a licensed cosmetologist and I do my own nails but was never confident enough to offer that service because I wanted to be consistent with my services. This just showed me what I've done wrong. Not just the apex but just watching your whole technique!!! Mind blowing!!!🤯

[@leia3595]

THANK YOU!! omg i just did the best structured nail i’ve ever done!

[@youngnailsinc]

You're welcome!!

[@cynthiagildersleeve2449]

I've been a nail tech for over 30 years, I was taught to do nails like you teach them, several years later after my daughter became an adult she wanted to go to school so I sent her where I went ,the instructor didn't know how to really do nails so I taught her and everything I was teaching her they said was wrong that's why I ran a successful nail salon for 35 years just want to thank you so much for teaching the way you do it served me well hope it helps the new comers also!!

[@siouxhazeldon2545]

Thank you Greg & Habib for taking the time to show us all your wealth of experience. You do such lovely tutorials & explain them so well to us. I love watching your post's thanks again for all your help 😊💖💅🏻😘☕☕☕🍰🥧

[@ssc4153]

Greg..you are such a good teacher! I have learned so many valuable tips from you and the team at YN! If I was down in Cali I would probably wind up taking classes from you but since I live elsewhere, I'll have to make due with the KZbin videos....which you guys have put out so many of them with fabulous content......Thank You!

[@youngnailsinc]

Thank you! Also zoom classes now available, contact [e-mail] for details

[@dw2413]

This is why Greg is our Nail Godfather! Thank you for your wisdom and teachings! 🙏🏽💖🥰

[@youngnailsinc]

You are so welcome

[@paola1119]

his first example is exactly what I do as a beginner. Very grateful for this tutorial ♥️♥️

[@leilaonline2787]

OMG!!!! I was told 3 pearls. Middle FIRST, Drag forward ADD ADD ADD. This makes so much more sense. But the real thing is getting that PEARL right. It just comes off your brush and nearly sets itself. And I think this method means less filing near the cuticle. I am so glad I found this channel. THANK YOU!

[@blingangel7239]

Perfection! YN knows how to roll! 🌸💕🌸💕💕💕🌸💕💕💕🌸💕💕🌸💕💕💕🌸💕💕💕🌸💕

[@korynthomas9117]

OMFG !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is my exact problem !! I asked you once how long it should take to do a full set and you responded immediately. I am literally in tears cause this is exactly what I needed and I am using your products !!

[@Leopardv8448]

A work of Art you explained it so well.

[@joergliebing5145]

Definitely starting to apply this method, love it

[@rebeccachambers1429]

Thank you for showing us, I'm currently doing nail technology at college and this has really helped me with my acrylics

[@jennyjean1978]

These videos are so incredibly helpful! Thank you!!

[@youngnailsinc]

Yay! Happy to hear that!

[@nailedbykayy]

This video is definitely going to be a game changer for me! I've always started from the middle and worked backwards and I ALWAYS have so much filing to do.. I can't wait to try this! Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with us💗

[@youngnailsinc]

Glad it was helpful!

[@slbeshara]

I am so grateful for your videos. I love doing nails, but I am not interested in going into business. These videos have helped me learn how to do my own nails safely and properly. Thank you so much for sharing so much quality education.

[@youngnailsinc]

You are so welcome!

[@Bevspiration]

This was AMAZING.....omg. I just got sooooooo excited watching this. It makes All the sense! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

[@senaitwashington8534]

Watching your videos makes me feel like I can get up and do it as your talking . You make things look so easy !!!

[@Baddienailz]

I have watched COUNTLESS acrylic nail building videos all year long. I bought my first acrylics last December! I literally did my FIRST nail the other day… it was like I was watching myself when he did it the beginner way 😂 I digress, this is the most concise, AMAZINGLY explained video and I feel like if I had seen this video ALONE at the beginning of my acrylic journey, I would’ve started MUCH sooner 😅 I am sooooo thankful for you both and this channel!

[@BRANDYMQ]

Greg is such a great mentor.. 💙

[@youngnailsinc]

thanks

[@QutieNails]

I absolutely adore Greg... he is very clear and concise when explaining things and kudos to the camera person for getting such great angles so we can see clearly what Greg is explaining. You guys rock.

[@Itslivinsky]

This was so informative. I wish you all had schools nationwide because I can guarantee my nail school taught me the latter. Thank you

[@youngnailsinc]

We have over 1000 educational videos right here on youtube! Like going to school in your living room!

[@jacquelinecaldwell6879]

I love the way this coaster came out. What a lovely gift!!

[@youngnailsinc]

Thank you!!

[@katinacombs9678]

OMG, I wish I would have saw this video before I sculpted my nails! As a new nail tech I couldn’t figure out why my nails overall are so bulky, I be filing down bulk for a while ! I want to take off my nails and start again with this method! This was nail life changing! I’m going to review this video several times with my practice hand until I get it right. Thank y so much...❣️

[@youngnailsinc]

Glad I could help!

[@taylarogers313]

Omg! That first nail was the story of my life!! You just keep dropping gems! You totally rock!! I just got my core kit delivered today and can't wait use it! Thanks for these very informative videos

[@gemmalouise4473]

Your videos are so so helpful, when i was taught many years ago we were taught the 3 ball method and to start in the middle. these look so natural with the apex. I have really been enjoying your nail tutorials and all your content. Keep up the great work guys!! Loving my cover pink powder and all young nails products i have used by the way very happy i made the swap!! Thanks from Australia!!

[@MsLolaTaylor]

This video, technique & explanation was FLAWLESS. Thank you🙏🏾

[@youngnailsinc]

Glad it was helpful!

[@donnazdunski1073]

You are such a good teacher !!!

[@youngnailsinc]

Thank you!!

[@hann23x]

Love this video. I've learnt so much by watching these amazing short, knowledgeable videos! Thank you

[@hastipatel2260]

My apex back in the days when i started doing nails was so not acceptable and it looked so flat because mostly here in india people or i can say my clients dont prefer that curve to the nails cause naturally in india our nails dont have that strong arch so they would feel that the nail looked bulky because of the apex so i did it flat many a times but no complaints they wanted it and enjoyed it slowly i made them understand that apex provides support to the nails and it is necessary to have an apex now i have nailed the apex like a pro but it was difficult to get the hang of it to be honest😅but practice and practices makes the skills better😊

[@youngnailsinc]

Awesome

[@velma227]

This channel is the most informative and clear guide for beginners I have found. I have learned so much and I've only watched 2 videos! Lol. Thank you! I barely started to do nails and my nails are bulky. This showed me what I was doing wrong. Great videos!

[@idaliaberlanga9044]

Love it very helpful. Thank you 😊

[@NehemiahStewart1776]

Wow looks like it takes so much practice / patience to master and achieve this technique !

[@Danyelle444]

Greg!!! I wish I could send you a picture!! All I can say is THANK YOU FOR THIS VIDEO ESPECIALLY.... AND ALL YOUR OTHER ONES AS WELL!!! This method is gonna change my application for the BETTER!! And my CAREER in this game ☺️👌🏾 THANKS AGAIN 🙏🏽 Peace and continued blessings

[@EmpowerWellnes]

You explain Very well. Makes perfect sense to me to start from the cuticle first 👌💡

[@damarismelinaferrera]

I love this way of contrasting right and wrong sculpting, it majes it easier to understand 👌🏻 thanks!

[@youngnailsinc]

Happy to help!

[@simmybee3661]

Ive been struggling with sculpting so much and after watching this i tried it and omg so much easier and quicker too! Thank u so much for this video

[@youngnailsinc]

You're so welcome!

[@btcrazee1]

Since I started watching your videos, I can now sculpt and have quit using tips. Now if I can master white tips.......Thank you so much.

[@youngnailsinc]

That's great!

[@serenarathore7093]

@young nails- are u able to do a video of acrylics over tips that have been stuck on? .. thanks! 😊

[@illestnina5017]

Woooooooow I really appreciate this video , my nail tuition was 10,00$ and I’m learning more on KZbin than I did in class smh this video helped a lot ! My new method !

[@lisadigings1410]

Oh…..and the best bit…….almost zero filing! And that was my first attempt! And it was midnight! I couldn’t rest until I gave this a whirl. Used way less product too …..as soon as I use up all my stock, I’ll be switching to your YN supplies as they must be as good as YOU xxx

[@kereenmars]

Game changer!!!! Thank you so much for this!

[@illcelebrateyoursuccess8907]

Its gonna be nail shops upset with this guy. Protect him at all cost!😊

[@ariannaplayshouse]

Interesting I taught myself and have been applying from the cuticle to tip. This was something I learned through experimenting and I wasn’t sure if it was correct but I get compliments all the time that my nails are well shaped and asked how I achieve it. My nails have a strong natural arch and i feather them around the cuticle versus many I see bubble up mine look natural around the edge. I’ve noticed that my nails are less apt to break and be damaged. This was an issue I had early on. One day I had an epiphany to not use any nail extensions because they can cause too much buildup not to forget they can easily chip/break. Now I can tell them it’s all about application and refer them here. TY, Subscribed!

[@handycrafted816]

This is the video I've been missing! Thank you YN!

[@youngnailsinc]

You're so welcome!

[@sympathy5359]

I love when he talks because he makes me feel like I’m getting scolded and I always do what he says when I do my nails 😂😂

[@mgi6659]

Young Nails is FANTABULOUS! Thank you for your tutorials. If there was no corona I would love to meet the crew and take classes.

[@youngnailsinc]

Thank you so much! ❤️💖

[@staceymorrison1974]

Now I see where I went wrong with my first set. Got the free edge nicely shaped, absolutely slayed the cuticle on my first attempt by pointing the finger down. All great. Went to add my apex bead and ended up with a mound that took me about a decade to file 😒 Why? Because I didn't blend it backwards into that second bead first 🤦‍♀️ Thank you so much for this. You have saved future me from a ton of filing!

[@harrietparrott2134]

i'm currently teaching myself acrylic but ive never been able to build a nail using forms before. the techniques you show in this video have sddenly made the little light flick on, it makes sense now why i kept failing when sculpting from scratch! thank you again for another amazingly educational video

❤️

Already pay some online course but the true thinks I learn more from your videos. Thank you very much👍👍👍

So true and grateful for this video. I was trying to understand why mine are thick and I have to file, which is time consuming and difficult as a beginner

[@caseys.manning8758]

Great video! Thank you for all the helpful tips & techniques! Would love to see an apex structure tutorial using gel. A video on Building an apex using gels with different viscosities would be super helpful!
