  • The liquido for remover is name orgánic , i dont remember!!!  You can use acetone pure!!

  • can u like add length with gel nails?

  • her nails look so thick, my gel nails looked so much more natural than that

  • @SapphireFingers Does it make your nails look longer? How long do they last? How much do they cost? Does it make your nails weak? Sorry for all the questions!!!

  • @jbruch2 it can make your nails longer if you get gel extensions or you can just get it done over your natural nails so that it will stay the same length, like nail varnish. they last about 3 weeks. they vary from £20-£50 depending in what and how much you get done. it does not make your nails weak at all or damage them in any way whatsoever, in fact, it makes your nails stronger and harder, especially for those who bite their nails as you cant bite through gels.

  • @jbruch2

    I just got gel nails and i really like them. They dont make your nails look longer unless you get them sculpted. They definately look more natural than acrylics. Hope i could help a little.

  • Are gel nails healthy for your nails? Once you take them off, will your nails be just as strong and healthy and grow like they did before the gel nails?

  • @itsKaylaaH gel nails dont affect the health or strength of the nail at all. they're not like acrylics that make the nail a lot weaker and thinner.

  • @Megana1390 Do you have to have long nails in order to get UV gel nails? Because I hate acrylics and I want to try gels but I trim my nails very short.

  • how long do they last?

  • TERRIFIC VIDEO.

  • tell me y my aunt was yellin at the nail salon lady tellin her 2 take the class 4 gel nails n she said the not healty 4 u is she ritee or is she tryin 2 boost her company up ????? idk

  • Uhh To Much Work screw it ima just go to the store, get the fake nails and put glue on my nails and put them on !!!! fewer steps

  • @jaayRawrr okay i kno thts ritee

  • what is the difference between the acrylic and gel nail? where i can buy the UV light? is it expensive?

  • @maria123457504 Difference Between Acrylic and gel nails. With Gel Nails they use your actual nail its less hurtful to your nail and look MUCH natural if you like that. Acrylic hurts your nails. they take a layer of your nail off. And make your nail FLAT. Harms your nail Hugely. and they put a fake nail over top of your nail. And it breaks much quicker. UV lights depend on the volt of the light. Some can be 19 dollars other 200. Depending on what you like,

  • @UnknownUselessName

    This is not true. If the Tech is using incorrect filing technique, the natural nail can be damaged regardless of what system is used (acrylic or gel). The damage is done when aggressive filing techniques are used and extensions are pulled off when removing.

    Also, natural look can be achieved using acrylic too - it's purely down to the skill of the person doing it. Mega thick gel nails can be created too. :)

  • How often does someone typically get gels filled?

  • @smodeLL I heard 5-8 weeks thats why I am converting over to these type of nails.

  • why do you want to use gloss if you are a hairdresser?

  • honestly 8 minutes for one nail is way too long.

    im no math genius but isnt that over an hour for just one manicure..................?

  • @idontcare155 you can multitask (i.e do one hand while the other cures) but I never had a set of acrylics or gels that took less than 40 minutes - that's why they cost what they do.

  • he is really boring me

  • please do my nails.

  • wow i do have much to learn but the way you put on the french is a nice tip

  • i wish i didnt bite my nails :(

    i would love to have natural nails that looked like that

  • IF I WAS THAT WOMEN I WOULD TELL HIM SHUT TA FUCK UP AND DO MY NAILS SERIOUSLY HE TALK TO MUCH

  • @monikallj He's trying to explain everything!!! stupid...

  • @monikallj OBVIOUSLY he an instructor... dummy

  • how much do they cost?

  • does the gel smell as much as acrylic?

  • litsaev is absolutely right, he did use an electric drill on the natural nail, about 35 seconds into the video. Total nono. Most nail techs, good or not, would drill right through your natural nail doing that. That being said, he did an amazing job annd didnt seem to hurt his client! But yeah generally dont let someone do that to you, it's an accident waiting to happen.

  • @Aurora83186 i don't understand how it was on the natural nail if the gel is already covering it... i keep reading about drills and how bad they are for your nails, but i don't see how it's getting through to the natural nail.

  • @Aurora83186 Wait a second here. He is using a different tool than the one used at the end. It's a soft-high grit drum just to dull-up the surface. Why is everybody think they're pro's at things on the Web? Jesus. If people would just think before clicking the Post button, there would be so much less idioties on the Web and espescialy on You tube.

  • u have NO idea of what u r doing!!!!!!! I would never trust my nails to u......thank got my maniqurist knows what she is doing!!!!!

    GIRLS....NEVER LET SOMEONE USE A DRILL 4 UR NAILS!!!!! IT IS TOO HARSH!!!!

  • @litsaev

    What are you talking about. he filles the gel smooth ,not her nails.

  • @litsaev I know this is old, but you do realize that Greg Salo is the co-owner of Young Nails, and is a master at what he does, right? Fools ruin people's nails, not the tools :)

  • @Megana1390 Because he is a good business man does not mean he is good on nails! I saw my comment and the way I wrote it is not representing the way I wanted it to sound. I ABSOLUTELY believe that the one who uses drill on your nail (on the gel or your nail) is simply lazy!!! I have been hurt 2 times that way and took me 2 months to be able to grow my nails properly!!!! Even when you have your gel removed it should be with a file and a buffer. It takes MUCH longer but your nail remainsuntouched

  • @Megana1390 Important notice: the gel it best to be removed from your nails in 2 phases: the first time your manicurist should remove the most of it and leave a layer so she/he will not but also your natural nail

    the second time she/he should only lightly buff it (2-3 strokes on each nail) so the rest of it will go away too.

    Most times the second phase is not needed because the gel fall off your nail. This way your nail will ALWAYS be healthy!

  • @litsaev I am a licensed nail technician, so I know this. That is also the reason why I commented on the video. Because of cheap salons that hack away at people's nails and use illegal products, people are afraid of tools that CAN be used safely. When an electric file (not a drill or dremmel, which has WAYY too high RMPs) is used by someone who knows what they are doing, it can be safe for the nail. I agree that you should be concerned about the health of your nails.

  • i wanna do this for a living. it seems like such fun

  • He did a perfect job. I learn from him, it is very helpful. Thanks.

  • i love you greg you make everything look so easy

  • wow............

  • HE IS NOT WERID YOU ARE

  • @thewaitnsee1 hey you are so weird

  • OMG this was soooo helpful

  • Pourquoi faire simple quand on peux faire compliquer !!!

  • This is GREAT, but I can't see me getting this right! I'm sure I'd have major lumps and bumps!!!

  • Your never to use an Electric file on the actual Nail Bed EVER...State Board will not approve that and damage to the nail plate is caused with an electric File.....

  • That was great

  • @Ksyusha48 i know, is there any place that doesnt file the nail bed? i thought the whole point of gel nails was to be better and help nails grow???

  • @jllove1992 you have to remove the shine from your natural nail so that the gel or acrylic would stick onto it otherwise it'd just fall off.

    it is risky to use an electric drill on your natural nails as it can always thinnen them to much, they should use a normal, high grit file (like 180 or 240).

    If you're fraid they will ruin your nails tell them to be gentle.

  • great video!!

  • His gel technique is too thick. He shouldn't have to sand down his work on the surface after the fact. Sure would be nice to know a guy who did nails though.

  • why is the camera shot so faaaarrr!!!! n all the different shot whats the need?!

  • this guy uses too much technical language and its soo much work!

  • what does he use to wipe over the nail once he's finished geling is it acetone on the wipe ???

  • @leighley1 he may use rubbing alcohol

  • why if your applying it to hair dressers use gloss?

  • @lovelifetilldeath i THINK because the hair dressers work with hair chemicals like dye and that makes the product he uses on everyone else get gooey and gross...I'm just guessing because once I was dying my hair and my nails got really gross.

  • Pretty good,looking great!! That guy is perfect :D !!! love it!

  • DONT USE ACYRLIC NAILS PPL USE GEL

  • Hi Hotty

    What are the benefits of gel vs acrylic. I've been doing my own acrylics for a year & I'm sick of the mess, stink & drama. Convert me please!

  • @hotty789100 What is the difference? I have acyrlic nails.

  • @hotty789100 WHY?

  • whats the name of the liquid that removes the extra gel after the lamp?

  • Did you know anithing about gloves or mouthpiece?

    *wondering*

  • is there any way i can rmeove my gel nails at home? :)

  • @xXxShAexXx pure acetone or get an acrylic gel remover place it on the nail till it kind of bubbles take an orange stick and gently scrape it away and repeat it's alot quicker and more gentle to the nail bed. Acetone has a way of drying the nail bed out which also strips all the natural oils out of the nail bed.

  • @xXxShAexXx Yes u can use acetone but it dries the nail bed out too much. A better way is to get some gelled acrylic remover apply it to your nail let it kind of bubble and gently scrape it off with an orange stick.

  • This guy makes putting on gels look badass! I love the hard core music in the background; how many of us would love a man who could do our nails?? When you think about it, what's the difference between an artist who tattoos you, or one who designs your nails? You're the man!! Thanks for the video

  • How would you remove gel? is it the same way as removing acrylic by soaking in acetone?..I know you can buy soak off gels but what about the hard gels? do you really have to file it all off, can't you soak them too?

  • @susany2k5 You can't soak gel nails off. They must be filed off. There is a type of gel polish that can be soaked off, but even this is difficult to do. One usually has to file and THEN soak. I do gel nails professionally. I use both the Young nail gels (The guy in the video is the founder of Young nails) and LCN. What he is doing in the video is a full set of gel nails which must be buzzed off to remove. But gel nails definitely don't harm your natural nails. Hope this helped.

  • Finally someone that knows what they are doing & can explain each step! I loved this video! I'm re-teaching myself how to do nails, didn't do them once I grauduated cosmetology school. This video helps so much! Thank u :)

  • I wish I had a husband or boyfriend that did my nails.

  • @babiicutiie3 me too

  • @babiicutiie3 me too :) !

  • @babiicutiie3 me too :) !

  • @babiicutiie3 I'm available. But I'm ugly, short and Asian.

  • @Monkey804 Who in the hell said that to them self. You are definitely not Asian.

  • @ChineseLoveSong If only you know me in real life :) I was borned and raised on rice and fish sauce. Fish sauce shrunk my growth :(

  • gel is actually better than acrylic

  • no you dont need the uv lamp for the acrylic because its like cement it just drys in itself.... you need the lamp though when your putting a finishing coat on top of the acrylic nail....

  • well, I know acrylic produkts wich need uv light.Its a kind of smoother in it and they didnt smell that much :)

  • what brand are the products that you are usinig

  • whats the different between ackryl and gel nails..and in gel nails, do you have to use a UV lamp to dry? i really wanna know..beacuse i have order GEL NAIL KIT

  • IS GEL AND ACRYLIC THE SAME THING????

  • @ladyfaealicia noppe

  • Where would I find such a place? I need to have my nails done. I want the french acrylic nails with gel. I want something real nice. Some salons do lousy jobs, the gel on your nails has bubbles. I need a good place in the Bronx, NY.

  • This is awesomeeee!

  • is there a difference between gel nails and solar nails?

  • He is definitely a professional. He's one of the Founders of Young nail Inc. Lol. I'm pretty sure he knows what he's talking about!

  • look~ when he use machine(drill), so not good!!! but, u right he's one of the founders of young nain lnc.

    but... i can say he is one of the founders of young nain lnc and, nomal frofessional.

  • he is not a professional. he is a just teacher... real professional must do fast to make fake nail. but, he is so slow. when he put gel on nail, um... skill to using machine, brush is so... not good.

    he naver can do fast fake nail of 10 finger.

  • oh he IS GOOD

  • my brush goes hard when using gel, what do i need to o to keep my brush soft ?

  • @cavendishderby Are you certain you're not allowing the UV light to come into contact with your brush? That would do it. It shouldn't go hard on you under normal use.

  • dudes GOOOOOOOD!

  • Thats a very good idea to prepare the gel so its easier to apply a proper white smile line, I do my nails every 4 weeks by myself and always have trouble creating a nice smile line, thank you so much for this vid. Good Work!!!!

  • Yea how do you get this gel stuff and how much???

  • i had this done today

    but not exactly like that

    and yeh..thats all :D

  • Seriously too much work!

  • @youthpastornoel he can probably do it really fast when he isn't explaining everything:) but it would take me way too long!

  • i think its good here in england the do it differently they stick fake nails on and then put the gel on top i think its stupid and its bad for ur nail

  • THATS ACYRLIC NAILS

  • Young nails rules. I love de whole line of products.

  • im pretty sure that just because you do gels one way doesnt mean everyone has to do it that way, nor does it mean your way is better. i guess what us americans do have above you is manners and respect.

  • this is the best video I have seen so far for gel nails. thank you very much

  • This reminds me of how french acrylic rewhites used to be done before they just started drilling down to nothing at refills and sending you away with throbbing hands

  • why does hairdresser need a gloss finish?? and not coat finish?

  • I liked this vid it would have been better with a finished picture of his work.

  • dang, those must last for WEEKS!!!!

  • i love how they show u step by step

  • woah dis guyz cray cray :P

  • wow this is sooo cool

  • He's soo good

  • this was the best tuturial ive seen doing a french gel tip....

  • this a whole new world for me, where does one buy kits for the gel french nails? i'd love to learn to do this :)

  • you can get them at sallys beauty supply store

  • You can get kits at Sally Beauty or on Ebay, but I would recommend that only nail techs work with gels, as they can cause a lot of damage to the nail bed if they are not used properly.

  • lots of places doing full set GEL for 60 bucks..expensive as hek , thats why peps pick acrylic over gel cus its cheaper.

  • I`d like to get this, where in LA i can get that???

  • Comment removed

  • $30 is super cheap for artificial nails.

    Acrylic can be porous, that is why some people use a gel to seal and add gloss at the end.

    Acrylic is harder, for those who need strong nails. Gel is a little bit more flexible. They also seem to stay on the nail a lot better (acrylic) from what my nail tech instructor's experience.

    There are porous gels out there too, the ones that can be soaked off.

  • I knew nothing about gel nails until last week. Went to a salon the guy talked me into getting the gel nails but he didn't do it this way. I basically spent $30 on fucking acrylic nails. Never ever going there again.

  • so what happens if you dont put your nails under the uv light?

  • the gel stays gooey :)

  • the pad that he used is it spray with alcohol or water??? someone tell me please...!!!

  • alcohol to take the sticky off cured gl

  • Man, this guy is gud!! I wish I could be that skilled!

  • its not hard

  • awesome.

  • this is awesome! Thanks for the great instructional. Gels are much better than acrylics for nail techs as they are not porous and will not be damaged while doing other clients nails. They are also great for "pickers". Those clients that pick at their nails, (not their nose), because they are so much smoother without the little edges that powder acrylic can leave. There is not anything to pick at. I have just started using them, but I love them. I am trying to get all my clients to switch.

  • looks a lot more difficult than acrylic application... and doesn't look as good. either way, this guy still has amazing skill.

  • What UV Gel product do you use? What watt UV Light do you use? And what kind and size brush? You make it look so simple.

  • Thank you, for replying.

  • Hi do you have to get the uv lamp or can you let it dry naturally ? Does anyone know ?

  • gel doesnt dry naturally at all. UV gel is used with a UV lamp :)

  • I like how he does them reverse, but it looked sloppy and I really don't see the advantge of gel over acrylic in terms of application. Yeah, overall not that impressed here. But this was a nice product knowledge demo!

  • Wow. so happy i found this video! He is awsum!

  • this looks difficult! although i love gel i'm also doing nails right now i'm just doing tips and slowly learning forms i hope i can do all techniques one day soon!

  • wat products is he useing

    ?

  • They came out lovely. glad he does them nice n thick =)

    Hes very gd at smile lines 2 there not easy 2 get right!

  • wow, thats so cool, i wish my bf could do my nails :))

  • I never thought of laying the pink gel first and then the white, very interesting, I'm definitely going to try that sometimes!

  • if anybody knows...

    is there any place to do this in northern indianapolis, IN? :]

  • This maybe a stupid question but I wanted to try these UV gel nails but I dont have long nails. Will the manacurist glue on nails or do you already need to have nails??? Hope that made some kind of sense

  • If you don't have long nails of yourself, the manacurist will (if you want longer nails) glue tips of your nails, and about 1-2 months later (1 or 2 times) later, they will be all grown out and you have long nails by yourself! Some manacurist use stencils, kind of like stickers that they stick under the nail to lay the gel on your nail, but I only recommend that with acryl because gel isn't that strong so if you don't have a nail/tip as a base you will propably break some nails! greetz

  • No, you don't need to have nails. You don't even need an extension if you don't want it and have the patience to let your natural nail grow out. They can just overlay the gel on whatever natual nail you have, or sculpt a tip if you want it extended

  • Wow...I think I may have to watch this several times before I get the foundations.

  • Comment removed

  • I agree, he's talented!

    Looks great!

  • i wish i had such steady hands

  • GEL IS WAY BETTER THAN ACRYLIC

  • Obviously, the end result is lovely. But I'm wondering what the benefit of gel is over acrylic?

    Or is it just a preference thing?

  • I think its a preference thing. In the end, gel is still acrylic. Its a bit softer and easier to file, but acrylic just the same

  • as this is a educational informative video ..unless you happen to be psychic..somehow i doubt it.. you might need to actually HEAR him talk.

  • maybe you should shut up

  • does that hurt??

  • no...

  • beautiful! Your amazing at doing this :)

  • podziwiam Pana :P

  • I really like nail art and sculping nails. Do I really need to have a licence to do nails?

  • that musta cost a pretty enny ;)

  • for 1 thing you can get the whole hand with the regular done instead of this!!

  • those where really nice and well done. Where does that company of gel come from? I haven't heard of them before

  • Gel acrylic is generally odorless, compared to L&P acrylic systems.

  • i dont get it what you put in the end,end finish gel or what!!!??????

  • Becouse he was shaping the gel, ale i got matt a little bit, and to hold the texture of the gel he needed to apply finish gel.. ;]

  • why!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

  • mu uv gel takes ages to dry under uv!!

    do u know y ?

  • how old are your bulbs?
