The Bitten Nail: Part 1 of 3

[CuppyCharms]

you have answered so many Qs i had with this video! thanks for posting.

[TJEYkorea]

I'm just curious, but what ethnicity are you?

[YoungNailsInc]

@TJEYkorea Greg is half Korean/half Arab. And 100% American!

[j3nnylo]

what size brush do you use....these nails are amazing

[Jstar2211]

@iH3ARTBKK:

I too have an issue with extreme C curve in my natural nails, even when shortened, and could not use the forms because of acrylic getting under my free-edge.. but I just tried using Greg's trick with the form for bitten nails and it works wonderfully!

[BeautyLit]

can forms be used with non-uv/led gel?

[YoungNailsInc]

@BeautyLit Yes, absolutely!

[Ljokerz]

is that a real hand ?



[TheRisingTied]

@Ljokerz of course.

[Ljokerz]

@TheRisingTied damn i wish i would know or find a trick to stop biting my nails tho xD kida how i stubble on this vid

[iH3ARTBKK]

I need help. I have a problem putting a form on my finger. my nail's shape isn't look like any models you use, the ones you show us are kinda flat but mine are C curve,, I mean it's extreamly C and nail form couldn't fit in so the result is I have a little of acrylic under my free adge..

is there any way to fit it??

by the way,, I love your videos I love you Greg!!!! xxxx

[YoungNailsInc]

@iH3ARTBKK Be sure you shorten the nail first, then place the form. If you leave the length, you will have a very hard time getting the proper placement of the form. Hope this helps!

[lachewy29]

why did you cure the protein bond? this is the first time i saw somebody do that.

[YoungNailsInc]

@lachewy29 Thanks for your question. If you cure the Protein Bond, it sticks a little better. Just one of Greg's insider tricks!

[Oliyague]

I love your vídeos & creations I wish you were in Spain. All the best!

[chevcheryl]

Hi, Love Love Love all your videos. Just a quick question. What liquid are you using to swipe the nail to remove dust and clean? Cheers, Chevy

[YoungNailsInc]

@chevcheryl Swipe is wonderful for removing dust and creating a perfectly clean surface to start the enhancement.

[YoungNailsInc]

@chevcheryl Greg is using Swipe. It does a wonderful job at cleaning and removing contaminants before any service.

[babysweetnails]

This was soooo helpful because i have people coming to me with bitten nails and i'm at a loss as to what should i do........Thank u so much ...i love ur tutorials

[ShadesofScorpius]

This guy has such a fascinating personality, (with a sort of strange intensity), and it's great to watch. Technique flawless, demonstration perfect! A pleasure to see.

[Navitrolla]

They say its not good to remove shine with nail drill. So its kind of allowed when u know what ur doing?

[YoungNailsInc]

@Navitrolla: If you notice, Greg is using the lightest possible touch with the e-file. Practice first, be gentle and yes, you can remove shine as Greg has shown here.

[rawkin4starfield]

thank you for this technique! I've been trying to figure that one out for awhile now.

[mbrola]

He's so good LOVE these videos

[ApplyedBeautiful]

[NikitaWadstrom]

[YoungNailsInc]

@NikitaWadstrom Unfortunately, Nikita, our products are "to the trade" only. So sorry!

[CrazyJane76]

Hi I have a client who's nails are half the length of the lady in the video(really badly bitten!!!!!!) and I have sculpted but she still says they are not staying on how would you deal with this problem?????

[princey990]

@CrazyJane76 hello ..its better to repeat greg's steps as u just learned, however when placing the extra piece of the form u just cut, extend it a little further out, instead of placing it closely, to cover the extra skin exposed from the nail!let me know if this helps!

[PetiteBellaDancer]

Thank you for the demonstration. This series of information answered a question I posed in class a few weeks ago to my Cosmetology instructor. Awesome!

[YoungNailsInc]

@PetiteBellaDancer So glad we could help!

[klrdancer13]

id love to know the products used..if maybe they could be posted in the info bar. thanks! keep up the awesome vids

[YoungNailsInc]

Glad you're enjoying the videos! Greg says that using Acrylic on nail biters (versus gel) is really the way to go. It does a better job of "splinting" the natural nail as it grows out, ensuring that the shape of the natural nail is correct when it finally grows. Gel doesn't have the same strength. Great question, though!! Thanks.

[munajinx]

@YoungNailsInc thanks for the tips

[SkaRocksYea]

Wow! I didn't think it was possible to use forms on nails that short. This guy is awesome!

[munajinx]
