I DID A VIDEO ON THIS. ITS JUST FINELY MILLED ACRYLIC POWDER! RESIN IS JUST CRAZY GLUE! IM NOT A LICENSED TECH BUT I DID SOME RESEARCH AND FOUND THIS OUT. I HAVE A TINY CHANNEL AND DIDNT GET MUCH RESPONSE BUT THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT I SAID. THANKS FOR MAKING THIS VIDEO BECAUSE YOU HAVE VALIDATED MY RESEARCH AND VIDEO!
Fingers off the caps key. But seriously, all it is. S'why I can get it 'cheaper by just getting acrylic powder and super glue (well, gorilla glue - longer wear and takes more damage). If you want it 'finer'...dust it in your coffee grinder. It's literally a buck for each. If I want to go crazy, I get born pretty's chameleon as a 'colour' coat.
You guys took the words right out of my mouth! I always appreciate how honest you are. I hate these buzzwords that are being used for dip powder nowadays. I don't dislike the product, but its frustrating how far some companies/salons will go to mislead their clients.
Thank you! THANK YOU! 🙏🏻 🙌🏼 my clients do not believe me. I’m a licensed tech, I have thoroughly researched it and I love seeing your company (which I HIGHLY respect) commenting on it!
How do they NOT believe you?! It's something you work with! I knew this just by touch and feel. Yes, it's lighter, but that's only because it's been finer milled, you can do that with 'normal' acrylic by dusting it yourself in a grinder.
Saitaina Malfoy I know! For the most part my clients listen and but I’ve had some tell me that dip is healthier and different than acrylic and I’m like “okay Karen 🙄” lol.
Thank you for the video. I hate all the common misconceptions about dip powders and especially acrylic in general. It's our job to educate those who may be ignorant
I’m loving the set up for these segments and I love these segments that you and Tracy are doing because I’ll just screen mirror the segments onto the tv in the salon and I’ll let it play all day. So informative for both client and techs 👍🏼
Thank you but you guys are awesome thank you guys for all that you do in this industry and educating EVERYONE properly about this industry. I find it hard in my day to day work life to educate my clients and peers about this industry because of their mind set.
I was always told "If it's powder, it's acrylic" I went & did some research & found it to be just that. Thank you for confirming it. I'm not a registered nail tech yet, but I'm training & will be in the future. I love all your post's, I'm learning so much. Thank you once again 😊❤️💅
I find any spare time I have, I'm watching you tube post's from nail technicians from all over the world. I'm addicted to nail's & all thing's to do with nails. "My name is Sioux & I'm a nailahollic" 🤣😂🤣😂💅💅💅❤️
Hallelujah 🙌🏻 ! I have always known its finally milled acrylic powder . Nothing more . No nail enhancement product is organic . 🙄 Resin = GLUE .... Thank you all !
I know Im asking the wrong place but does any of you know a method to log back into an instagram account? I stupidly forgot my account password. I would appreciate any help you can give me!
@Langston Zachariah thanks so much for your reply. I found the site thru google and im in the hacking process atm. Takes a while so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
MMA is illegal in many states. It’s not a good adherence to the nail plate, it will not soak off requiring prying off or other damaging forceful removal, it will break the nail plate before it will crack resulting in potential major injuries, and the FDA doesn’t recommend it for nail application. It’s a subpar product to EMA in every way!
Honestly dip powder method has been out for a very long time. The industry has just remarketed it as something new and added great colors to it. My question is how do you use it with gel?
I use it with gel on myself. Personally, I base coat, then use a builder gel, then dip and buff and refine the nail. Repeat if necessary. Seal with another thin layer of builder gel and top coat it.
I offer this service in my small town and it is so new and nobody understands it so they bash it BIG time! I recently went to a nail event with a big TH-cam “star” and she had everyone in that room bashing it and saying it is the worst thing. So thank you for making this video 😍
I've always thought of dip powder as more of a DIY acrylic...its easy for the consumer to use on themselves at home and is super for shorter nails!! I have yet to find a salon that offers this service but I'm sure they're out there! Great video, always enjoy learning from the best! 💜
This was a fantastic Biz Talk!!! I love that you have addressed this. I think the marketing ploy that some companies use when it comes to their products is completely unfair to the unknowing consumer. And it is for this reason, as well as the hundreds of thousands of Techs out there who are not doing the job of a Nail Tech properly, that some consumers think it is unhealthy to have enhancements. When, we know, that it's not the enhancement, or necessarily the product, but the Tech who will be providing you a healthy, properly done service. I still have to explain this to some friends and family members who think that Acrylic is bad for your nails, or that gel is better...it's frustrating, at times, for sure.
I'm not seeing people confused about it on Instagram I'm seeing people BASHING it bc if how "unsanitary" it is.. but I'm not understanding why people are thinking it's bad and unsanitary bc if your a great tech your clients hands should be 100% clean and sanitized before the processes even starts! So if your sticking a sanitized finger in a jar there should be no germs or anything for that matter that's on the finger that would contaminated the entire container.. so I'm very confused on why there is soooo much hate and bashing on Instagram about using dip powders on how unsanitary it is to use.. thank you for sharing guys 😁 P.s I've also seen big names techs bash it.. I've also seen comments from lower nails techs on the big wigs post saying stuff like that use dip but they have gone threw great lengths to use it for sanitary purposes like having a container for each client with there names on it so no cross contamination happens. . It's crazy the stuff I seen on IG especially gross pictures bc of dip powder when it's probably not.. sorry for the long message lol
facts!!!!! people think cuz they can speculate they have a professional opinion its probably more unsanitary using their own kit at home without the knowledge of proper sanitation measures
The products aren't necessarily bad for your nails, you just need to have an educated tech that knows their products and how to properly apply and remove the product
I thank youngnails videos for teaching me how to use dip powder. It was a game changer for me. I learned how to do it properly and my customers come back to me because I keep it thin, the method I use lasts the longest for me, and youngnails dip powder system is amazing. I am buying more and more youngnails prodcuts and I am impressed by the quality of their products. A returning customer.
Thanks for clearing that up for me guys! Im so excited to hear about how versatile your slick pour is..I've been waiting forever for you to release more coloured acrylics in the quarter ounce size but now I don't need them 😆😁😜
I loved this video! What you guys have said in this video is what I am telling my clients constantly! Any nail treatment you get is healthy it’s just down to the tech that’s doing the treatment whether they are trained enough and knows what they are doing. I live in the uk and clients constantly live in fear over the electric file.. because MANY nail salons in the UK use MMA which means the majority of the time they use an electric file and file the clients nails right down until it’s as thin as paper (which obviously is extremely bad) but people go to these salons because they are cheap and quick but then they end up blaming acrylic entirely on why their nails are ‘ruined’ as they say. It’s a constant fight that we have to go through.
OMG, thank you for this! I’ve been saying these things and doing damage control constantly with all the bad information people get. Now I feel I have back up. 🙂
Its all acrylic and glue lol I thought everyone knew this. Organic?!? LOLOL thats a good one. But thank god we have you guys to give everyone the 411 :-)
I've been shouting about this forever since a certain brand flooded the market in chop shop salons with dip powder. And if you label something as organic, if we want to get technical here, everything is organic as it's made from carbon! Your plastic tips are organic too because you guessed it, they contain carbon on a molecular level . I don't like how they mislead the market & dupe people into thinking the product is better for you, when it isn't. Like mentioned, it's acrylic powder & super glue. I would even argue to say that it is worse for you as longer nails require structure & balance. You can't achieve that properly with dip powders. Also the removal process. It's better for your nails if a trained tech files off product rather than your fingers sitting in acetone for 10-15minutes each time. I'm so passionate about educating people so that they can make informed decisions, and also understand why i charge what i charge. I know my stuff & i use top notch product with a great understanding of it. End rant haha
THANK YOU!!!! Great segment. Exactly. A big Thank you to young nails for making quality products! You guys make a difference! 🥰. Tracie were did you get that shirt. I need one lol
They say that just to raise the prices to have you thinking you’re getting something new. I had to tell my daughter this when she went to a salon and they promote it as a newest thing out. Wing a nail tech I always get them by asking questions and getting that look.
Awesome video thank you! And what about the actual "dipping in the one jar" aspect of dipping services. It is mostly what I see around the salon in my area. Unsanitary?
Yes, because you can transfer bacteria. Even at home I do a pour over (mostly because I get tiny ass jars off Wish and my finger does NOT fit into those), but if I were to do a friend, I also wouldn't want to spread anything I may have picked up without knowing it. ALWAYS pour over or walk. If they're doing that, who knows what else they're doing.
I always: - Use sand bit, gentally prep the nails first. Shape them into the shape that the customer desires - Let the customer wash their hands with soap - Clean them again with alcohol, nip all the hang nails & lose cuticle that I missed with sand bit. By this time, all the nails should be dried. - Apply dip powder ==> results: clean & sanitize🌺
This was definitely worth watching - thank you for clarifying what most of us were thinking! I would like to ask though: what exactly is activator? Is is a variant of monomer? Could one actually use monomer as an activator?
Great video so well delivered, simple and to the point. Question I have is the resin of today's that's used for dip powder is that the same resin as when fibreglass nails were done years ago?
YES!! give me the science roots! Former biology major 🤣 I hate the term "organic" because it implies that something is healthy by nature, but like you said, it only means that it contains carbon based molecules!!!
I already knew that dip is acrylic but I think this video will be an eye opener for a lot of people. What is interesting to note is that not all manufacturers recommend that their dips be used with monomer. In fact, aside from YN I only know of a couple of brands that have been transparent on the subject. While I do believe some companies are afraid they will make less money by educating techs, it seems that some manufacturers balso use less than quality ingredients that simply don't seem to hold up to use with monomer or gel. Slickpour really is like butter, it goes on smooth and is very pigmented. Slickpour covers beautifully, while some dip powders seem grainy when used with mononmer and are hard to even out. I am a total fan of Slickpour and appreciate that you all are transparent about your products.
The difference is like concrete. The chunky concrete with more aggregate is stronger and is used for structural work. The finer concrete is smoother and used for a cosmetic or light dites application.
Thank you so much for confirming what I’ve been sharing with my regular n new clients about the dip..glad to hear n c y’all made a video on this dip..love the dip but allergic to resin/aka GLUE...so I dip with my liquid and it comes out fabulous😀 Thank you again..
I completely agree with your interpretation of dipping powder system and I can admit I was sucked in to thinking that the brand I was purchasing is so good for my natural nails and it will help them grow stronger and healthy, so I am so glad that you are telling me the truth I do love my dipping powder system however I was under the impression that I was making my nails healthy by applying the system. I am a beginner and I went crazy spending all my money on a product and the different colours of dipping powder and I know now it's just acrylic with a glue resin to get it to stick and technically the activator is the monomer. I absolutely love your content #youngnailsinc
i agree but some of another company's say that in the powder are vitamins and calcium and it is why so many client ask me if is dip powder more healthy for the nails but how can be a glue with an acrylic powder more helthy for the nails than clasic aplication of the acrylic?
That is why it is so important for us to educate people on the truths behind systems so we know how to market correctly to our clients. It is not fair to put out incorrect or false information about certain products
I’m not a licensed nail tech and I still knew dip powder was acrylic. My mother in-law swore up and down that SNS was healthier for your nails than getting acrylic or gel. I had to tell her the powder is acrylic and it does not make her nails healthy. The nail tech told her it was better for her nails so she’s sticking with what the tech said. The tech flat out lied to her and she refuses to listen to me because I’m not licensed.
I wish someone would address the problem of some salons soaking off dip powders every 2 to 3 weeks for 20+ minutes at a time in acetone. This causes major damage to the nails and I have seen multiple infections due to this practice.
I find that removing slickpour versus gel with e-file takes forever!!! Double the time.. I do not want to soak and can't handle the long removal so for now I don't offer slickpour :( (using the coarse safety bit)
Chloé Paris That is where I am at. Drilling takes too long and really too much drilling is bad for the nail plate also and if you use acetone that often I have had multiple people come in with infection. So I do not offer this service due to what I have seen
I just read a post yesterday from Doug Schoon I posted on TTW about dip powder. When people ask I tell them basically when you said all the time. I had a client come in once from out of town to get her dip powder removed and just wanted her cuticles cleaned up. It ended it being that who ever did her nails used MMA. It took me 1 hour to properly soak it off. She told me she was never going to that salon again once I explained what MMA was.
carmen m Fernandez MMA = methyl-methacrylate, which I believe is dental acrylic, right? en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Methyl_methacrylate Is MMA acrylic illegal? This acrylic product is illegal when being used on the nails, it can cause permanent loss and damage of the natural nail, as well as numbness in the fingers. ... MMA has been BANNED in the nail industry for over 20 years but is still being used because it is cheap! Environmental issues and health hazards Edit In terms of the acute toxicity of methyl methacrylate, the LD50 is 7-10 g/kg (oral, rat). It is an irritant to the eyes and can cause blindness.[4] Irritation of the skin, eye, and nasal cavity has been observed in rodents and rabbits exposed to relatively high concentrations of methyl methacrylate. Methyl methacrylate is a mild skin irritant in humans and has the potential to induce skin sensitization in susceptible individuals.[12][13] I developed contact dermatitis from hard gel that the small day spa I started my career at, so badly, that I had a horrible rash all over my fingers and arms! I had only an arm rest “dust extractor” which was basically useless imho. The tacky dispersion layer was “removed” with 99% alcohol. I was devastated, thinking that my new career that I loved, was over before it got started. Kathi Rochemont personally told me that by using alcohol instead of Afterwipe (which I’m thinking is similar to youngnails Swipe) that there was an invisible layer of uncured gel in my nail dust. No wonder I had a rash!! Switched to Afterwipe and eventually my rash went away! Thanks to top notch education from both youngnails & nailbasics and a KICKASS Timal dust extractor combined with a quiet Miele vacuum from Canadian Tire? I can WEAR BLACK CLOTHING at my desk, not require me to wear a surgical mask (unless I have a brutal head cold ) & I’m still LOVING my career as a certified nail tech after 18 years. Someday, pleeeeeeease SOMEDAY, Professional nail techs in Canada will finally become a RED SEAL CERTIFIED TRADE. I fully intend to pass that test (written as well as practical) & I will have to be able to do acrylic, hard gel, & a zillion different techniques for nail art! Ay yi yi, so much work but so much fun too!! 🥳
It’s glue! They’ve been around since the 70’s/80’s. The Nail Hub TH-cam channel has the best explanation of what “dip powder’s” are. She goes into details. Js
Any comments from you guys about "dip powder flu?" I now know for certain after gradually intensified allergic reactions, that I can't dip unless I'm outside, and even then, I'm masked and have my dusk collector on when filing. I have never had issues with any other kind of enhancement or builder including using various glues etc.
I had to do a write up on my nail page explaining this with all nail systems. That no one system is better than the other or healthier than the other. It's a common lie told buy a lot of nss salons here in Australia and unfortunately clients believe it because they don't know any better
So true and until I started my nail tech course here in Australia I thought dip powder was healthier for nails. That’s how it was sold to me by the local nail bars. Then they filed the crap out of my nails and when they removed the dip powder in acetone my nails looked crap!
Sadly, it is the way of many marketing companies to stretch the truth, if not outright crack it into tiny fragments! Much of the confusion has been caused by dishonest marketing with the intent of charging much more for basic product and calling it something different. (I'm not putting YN in that bracket!) Add an 'organic' label and double or triple the price because much of the population will fall for it.
Can you use regular nail polish to sandwich between gel or acrylic? ie do an extension with acrylic then apply a glittery regular nail polish (not gel) on top and encapsulate the nail polish in more acrylic?
Thanks so much! I've been wondering about that for a while now! I've got so many regular (not gel) polishes and have been thinking of how or if I could incorporate them with gel or acrylic extensions.
Thank you! I tell people this all the time to try to educate them on the nonsense they hear from other people or on the internet. Acrylic applied with glue!
Thank you for this you hit all the false claims that drive me nuts especially when they say ORGANIC! Can you touch more on the actual dip portion (finger in the container) and if it can actually cause all these infections people are posting pictures off. 🙏🏽❤️ I personally pour in a separate container and toss after every client.
Can talk talk about products that claim to be "hypoallergenic" and why it's not possible. I say those products are less likely to cause an allergic reaction but it isn't a guarantee. The companies who claim it won't say that it's not possible for an allergy to arise even with proper skilled application.
From what I see and understand, most nail systems are petroleum based. Petroleum is organic, it’s just not the fertilizer-free, hmo-free organic we think of when we go to the grocery stores. Then we manipulate it in a lab to get what we want from it. The problem is the manipulation of marketers trying to come up with the latest schtick to sell their product or make it seem better than everyone else’s which just can’t be the case. My humble opinion.
I wish I could take credit for the petroleum part of that comment, but I got that from Jim McConnoll, chemist over at Light Elegance. And I just happen to be familiar with marketing strategies. I wonder if marketing people believe the bs they come up with...?
None of these services are meant to replace one another. They are options, all techs prefer different services and sometimes clients require a different service . We like to provide you with the product and information behind it so you can make your best judgement call on what they need to have done.
Recently we've been having a lot of customers come in with cracks in their nails and we don't know why. Is it our application? Has this happened to anyone else? We don't use YN powder.
OK COUPLE QUESTIONS and COMMENTS HERE - PLEASE BARE WITH ME 😄😄 There's SO much hair flipping over dipping, my goodness!! If (since) dips are acrylic, is it possible some aren't? Ha I know that sounds silly but I'm asking bc I've experimented with some from a handful of different brands and some (many) just don't work - like I might as well have added water and got out my paint brushes. Crazy pants. Some brands claim on the box: "with vitamin E and calcium" or something to that extent. Is that really a bonus, like are we going to see better (healthier) results for long term use this way or is it just hype and the benefits are negligible? You mentioned the glue/resin is cosmetic grade. Should folks only use what's marketed as "base" or will they be alright using nail glue or (crazy glue, gorilla glue, et al) as their base layering glue. I haven't done it personally but I've seen others do it and recommend it. Resin is glue? I didn't think they were one and the same; it hadn't ever occurred to me. When we pour dip powder, are we pouring the remainder back into the jar? If we've sanitized our hands (more than once from start to finish) then is the powder chemically enough (like the glue) to resist any minute germ-y stragglers that might've possibly survived the cleansing? I've forgotten the rest 😂😂 Disclaimer: I'm a super curious, nerds-out-on-the-details, observant DIYer with freakishly thin, slippery nails on a tight budget 👀🤓 💅🏼 I just got my first YOUNG NAILS order as I'm trying to re-teach myself to do my own acrylics. 😎 I've thought about becoming a nail tech but Indiana makes it stupid hard to become a nail tech, starting with having next to no schools but requiring a million hours of learning. Then, the schools that do exist won't let you JUST learn nails so you have to go through hair and skin and everything else so then it costs >/= $10,000!! 💀💀💀
Sarah Vadas nope, basic rule of thumb is if there’s a powder involved it is an acrylic. Yes there is a risk of cross contaminating when dipping which is why you should dispose of the excess after each service, also why we pour rather than dip.
Patricia Ruelas oooooh I love this question!! LOL. If only us certified techs could charge what lawyers do for “free” legal advice! I knew dip powders were acrylic!!!! Organic?!! Are you 🤬kidding me?!? I’m stunned some companies are claiming that; wtf?!? Sorry about my emoji cursing I just get so frustrated when a client argues with me regarding what acrylic is. Even high end salons will LIE , telling the client that what they’re getting is HARD GEL when they’re, in reality, getting ACRYLIC with a hard gel top coat! Plus they will charge more for that service! When I told this client that she was lied to, she still insisted that I was wrong! Ever had a client who literally tells you how to do your job?? 🙄 Grrrrrr. Arrrrrgh.
AND GLITTER! Kitty Blitz is magic. Just sayin'. Just an FYI, regular acrylic powders don't get blown around as easily but maybe don't ask me how I know ok? This is why I generally keep to dipping, but yesterday my favorite drag queen's thumb hit bottom. I need to figure out how to do his nails without that issue. The FDA regulates the term 'organic' for food, but not for cosmetics. I think this should change. The average consumer doesn't realize they're a C-based life form so they can't be expected to think in those terms. I have had customers come in when I was in school and tell me some things their regular techs had told them, which I did not want to contradict, however, I was unable to provide the service. I love that I have another option for my clients. But it can be blown around pretty easily, which is why I dip rather than pour.
Marina Dobbie Ever accidentally sneeze when doing your own nails and don’t have the nanosecond of being aware that you should sneeze into your elbow?!? Custom glitter mix EVERYWHERE. That certainly wasn’t pleasant and a logistical nightmare of epic proportions to clean up. I felt like I’d spread fairy dust all over my desk , myself OMG that was NOT PLEASANT. Thankfully I was alone and my all black cat (RIP Echo) wasn’t anywhere close by either. What a mess!! 🙄🤦🏻♀️🤧
Whatever is working best for you and your clients is what you should continue to offer. We just like to share information with people who may have not known or been confused.
@@miramooney2221 oh dear God NOOOOO!!!! I had to have the swamp cooler on while I was doing a set, went to pour the SlickPour and it blew across my table. Dipped instead!
Marina Dobbie ok clearly I need to know what Kitty Blitz is! Heading to the website lol. Quick question, if nailbasics won’t bring in Greg’s new wicked acrylic brush, may I order directly from youngnails? I MUST HAVE TWO. AT LEAST 2.
Iv had the dipping products,Just never used them, Becuz I was not educated on it, for me if I’m not getting it done why should I put this on my clients, it worried me as far as,, is this to good go b true. I doubted it Becuz it was so simple. Will this really hold...yes the techs will tell you good feed back, just to make there money. Thank you thank for clarifying this to me. I feel better with putting it on my clients. Much respect from Arizona ❤️💎🙏🏼
Personally, I don't like dip powder. Maybe it's because of the brand I'm using but I just don't like it lol I'm a gel phanatic! Much rather just do acrylic (liquid + powder) than a dip set.
"Nails breath" WTF, our nails do not have lungs, they don't need to breath. They are DEAD. The part of nails you see, are dead. Gone, no more, toast, Asta la vista. Nothing you do, can change that. Yes, you can make it stronger or weaker by changing the keratin bonds in the nail, but the only LIVE part of your nails is deep in the nail matrix, doing it's thing and if you are thinking acrylic or dip or anything is screwing with that...you're applying it wrong (please don't shove acrylic into your nail matrix).

Would you be able to do a video on EMA vs. MMA? Most people don’t know much about the two and don’t understand why certain techs charge what they do
geniferx that would be a great video!
geniferx great topic we will review
would love to know as well 😊
Ooh great idea x
MMA is illegal in many states. It’s not a good adherence to the nail plate, it will not soak off requiring prying off or other damaging forceful removal, it will break the nail plate before it will crack resulting in potential major injuries, and the FDA doesn’t recommend it for nail application. It’s a subpar product to EMA in every way!
My all-time favorite client misconception about nails is that they need to breathe. They don't breathe! 🙊😂
Lol yes the best....tiny little nail lungs in there lol
I can assure you there are no lungs in nails having ripped one off.
Nickie Enochs 😂😂😂
Honestly dip powder method has been out for a very long time. The industry has just remarketed it as something new and added great colors to it. My question is how do you use it with gel?
I use it with gel on myself. Personally, I base coat, then use a builder gel, then dip and buff and refine the nail. Repeat if necessary. Seal with another thin layer of builder gel and top coat it.
So you dont actually mix the gel and the dip powder together?
@@RBarCar No.
Thank you
For sure. Yes you can mix it with gel
I offer this service in my small town and it is so new and nobody understands it so they bash it BIG time! I recently went to a nail event with a big TH-cam “star” and she had everyone in that room bashing it and saying it is the worst thing. So thank you for making this video 😍
Welcome!
Thank you so much for explaining this to us. I just wish everyone would listened to your videos and watch them.
❤️❤️
I've always thought of dip powder as more of a DIY acrylic...its easy for the consumer to use on themselves at home and is super for shorter nails!! I have yet to find a salon that offers this service but I'm sure they're out there! Great video, always enjoy learning from the best! 💜
❤️❤️
Thank for this! Sharing on my page. I get tired trying to explain this to my clients.
Of course
This was a fantastic Biz Talk!!! I love that you have addressed this.
I think the marketing ploy that some companies use when it comes to their products is completely unfair to the unknowing consumer.
And it is for this reason, as well as the hundreds of thousands of Techs out there who are not doing the job of a Nail Tech properly, that some consumers think it is unhealthy to have enhancements. When, we know, that it's not the enhancement, or necessarily the product, but the Tech who will be providing you a healthy, properly done service.
I still have to explain this to some friends and family members who think that Acrylic is bad for your nails, or that gel is better...it's frustrating, at times, for sure.
Yep it is part of our job as techs to educate the public!
I'm not seeing people confused about it on Instagram I'm seeing people BASHING it bc if how "unsanitary" it is.. but I'm not understanding why people are thinking it's bad and unsanitary bc if your a great tech your clients hands should be 100% clean and sanitized before the processes even starts! So if your sticking a sanitized finger in a jar there should be no germs or anything for that matter that's on the finger that would contaminated the entire container.. so I'm very confused on why there is soooo much hate and bashing on Instagram about using dip powders on how unsanitary it is to use.. thank you for sharing guys 😁
P.s I've also seen big names techs bash it.. I've also seen comments from lower nails techs on the big wigs post saying stuff like that use dip but they have gone threw great lengths to use it for sanitary purposes like having a container for each client with there names on it so no cross contamination happens. . It's crazy the stuff I seen on IG especially gross pictures bc of dip powder when it's probably not.. sorry for the long message lol
facts!!!!! people think cuz they can speculate they have a professional opinion its probably more unsanitary using their own kit at home without the knowledge of proper sanitation measures
@@emdalin I know.. that's what I thought this whole video was gonna be about lol but they didn't mention it at all
The products aren't necessarily bad for your nails, you just need to have an educated tech that knows their products and how to properly apply and remove the product
@@youngnailsinc yall should do a online class on dipping powder. I would sign up.
So much yes!! There is so much misinformation out there. Thanks so much for this!
Welcome!
Thank you for your integrity. An informative and honest video.
Welcome
I thank youngnails videos for teaching me how to use dip powder. It was a game changer for me. I learned how to do it properly and my customers come back to me because I keep it thin, the method I use lasts the longest for me, and youngnails dip powder system is amazing. I am buying more and more youngnails prodcuts and I am impressed by the quality of their products. A returning customer.
That's great and you're welcome!
Thank you so much for this information. I was confused at times but I had a feeling all along that it is acrylic. You guys rock! Have a blessed day 🙏🙌
Always
Thanks for clearing that up for me guys! Im so excited to hear about how versatile your slick pour is..I've been waiting forever for you to release more coloured acrylics in the quarter ounce size but now I don't need them 😆😁😜
Now you know!!
I loved this video! What you guys have said in this video is what I am telling my clients constantly! Any nail treatment you get is healthy it’s just down to the tech that’s doing the treatment whether they are trained enough and knows what they are doing. I live in the uk and clients constantly live in fear over the electric file.. because MANY nail salons in the UK use MMA which means the majority of the time they use an electric file and file the clients nails right down until it’s as thin as paper (which obviously is extremely bad) but people go to these salons because they are cheap and quick but then they end up blaming acrylic entirely on why their nails are ‘ruined’ as they say. It’s a constant fight that we have to go through.
True!
As I always say.. it’s the fool with the tool..
EXCELLENT; please keep these coming.
❤️❤️
Always
OMG, thank you for this! I’ve been saying these things and doing damage control constantly with all the bad information people get. Now I feel I have back up. 🙂
Welcome!
Its all acrylic and glue lol I thought everyone knew this. Organic?!? LOLOL thats a good one. But thank god we have you guys to give everyone the 411 :-)
Lol exactly!
Wow this has really confirmed what I suspected from the beginning. Thanks for the info X
Welcome!
I've been shouting about this forever since a certain brand flooded the market in chop shop salons with dip powder.
And if you label something as organic, if we want to get technical here, everything is organic as it's made from carbon! Your plastic tips are organic too because you guessed it, they contain carbon on a molecular level .
I don't like how they mislead the market & dupe people into thinking the product is better for you, when it isn't.
Like mentioned, it's acrylic powder & super glue.
I would even argue to say that it is worse for you as longer nails require structure & balance. You can't achieve that properly with dip powders. Also the removal process. It's better for your nails if a trained tech files off product rather than your fingers sitting in acetone for 10-15minutes each time.
I'm so passionate about educating people so that they can make informed decisions, and also understand why i charge what i charge. I know my stuff & i use top notch product with a great understanding of it.
End rant haha
For sure it is our job as technicians to educate the public
THANK YOU!!!! Great segment. Exactly. A big Thank you to young nails for making quality products! You guys make a difference! 🥰. Tracie were did you get that shirt. I need one lol
Welcome!
Thank you for this video, very informative. I am planning to get one, I'm glad I watched this beforehand. 😍😊
welcome
They say that just to raise the prices to have you thinking you’re getting something new. I had to tell my daughter this when she went to a salon and they promote it as a newest thing out. Wing a nail tech I always get them by asking questions and getting that look.
Right
Awesome video thank you! And what about the actual "dipping in the one jar" aspect of dipping services. It is mostly what I see around the salon in my area. Unsanitary?
Great question
Ours is used in a pouring method to avoid any contaminating
Yes, because you can transfer bacteria. Even at home I do a pour over (mostly because I get tiny ass jars off Wish and my finger does NOT fit into those), but if I were to do a friend, I also wouldn't want to spread anything I may have picked up without knowing it. ALWAYS pour over or walk. If they're doing that, who knows what else they're doing.
So when you say pouring method the excess that is falling off that you do not use is that just thrown away
I always:
- Use sand bit, gentally prep the nails first. Shape them into the shape that the customer desires
- Let the customer wash their hands with soap
- Clean them again with alcohol, nip all the hang nails & lose cuticle that I missed with sand bit. By this time, all the nails should be dried.
- Apply dip powder
==> results: clean & sanitize🌺
This was definitely worth watching - thank you for clarifying what most of us were thinking!
I would like to ask though: what exactly is activator? Is is a variant of monomer? Could one actually use monomer as an activator?
Welcome! No you can not use activator as monomer, it is a catalyst.
Great video so well delivered, simple and to the point. Question I have is the resin of today's that's used for dip powder is that the same resin as when fibreglass nails were done years ago?
all systems have their own product
Thank you for this information. It was very helpful to me.
Awesome
YES!! give me the science roots! Former biology major 🤣 I hate the term "organic" because it implies that something is healthy by nature, but like you said, it only means that it contains carbon based molecules!!!
Sharing everywhere 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Finally! I’ve needed something to back me up ever since SNS came out OMG🙌🏼
ITS ACRYLIC CLIENTS & NAIL TECHS 🗣
Lol
I already knew that dip is acrylic but I think this video will be an eye opener for a lot of people. What is interesting to note is that not all manufacturers recommend that their dips be used with monomer. In fact, aside from YN I only know of a couple of brands that have been transparent on the subject. While I do believe some companies are afraid they will make less money by educating techs, it seems that some manufacturers balso use less than quality ingredients that simply don't seem to hold up to use with monomer or gel. Slickpour really is like butter, it goes on smooth and is very pigmented. Slickpour covers beautifully, while some dip powders seem grainy when used with mononmer and are hard to even out. I am a total fan of Slickpour and appreciate that you all are transparent about your products.
Transparency is key! We are open and honest about all products and services
Wow! Thank you for sharing this video!💖💅
❤️❤️
The difference is like concrete. The chunky concrete with more aggregate is stronger and is used for structural work. The finer concrete is smoother and used for a cosmetic or light dites application.
Good comparison
So a dip is not a strength powder. I knew it was acrylic, but wasn't sure obviously of the chemistry. Very informative video thanks. X💜 💙
Welcome
thank you for this video!! would you be able to explain why does the resin cause eyes to burn/get watery when im using it?
Thank you so much for confirming what I’ve been sharing with my regular n new clients about the dip..glad to hear n c y’all made a video on this dip..love the dip but allergic to resin/aka GLUE...so I dip with my liquid and it comes out fabulous😀 Thank you again..
Welcome!
I completely agree with your interpretation of dipping powder system and I can admit I was sucked in to thinking that the brand I was purchasing is so good for my natural nails and it will help them grow stronger and healthy, so I am so glad that you are telling me the truth I do love my dipping powder system however I was under the impression that I was making my nails healthy by applying the system. I am a beginner and I went crazy spending all my money on a product and the different colours of dipping powder and I know now it's just acrylic with a glue resin to get it to stick and technically the activator is the monomer. I absolutely love your content #youngnailsinc
Omg yes, finally someone said it!! Thank you! I've been waiting for this lol
yes!
i agree but some of another company's say that in the powder are vitamins and calcium and it is why so many client ask me if is dip powder more healthy for the nails but how can be a glue with an acrylic powder more helthy for the nails than clasic aplication of the acrylic?
Vitamins and calcium will do absolutely NOTHING for your nails.
That is why it is so important for us to educate people on the truths behind systems so we know how to market correctly to our clients. It is not fair to put out incorrect or false information about certain products
I’m not a licensed nail tech and I still knew dip powder was acrylic. My mother in-law swore up and down that SNS was healthier for your nails than getting acrylic or gel. I had to tell her the powder is acrylic and it does not make her nails healthy. The nail tech told her it was better for her nails so she’s sticking with what the tech said. The tech flat out lied to her and she refuses to listen to me because I’m not licensed.
Share this video! Maybe that will help
Sometimes nail techs fall for the hype too.. That's why education (from several good educators) is so important
Please expand your go time polish line!! This product is amazing ❤️
working on it
Yay!!! Thank you, thank you!!
I wish someone would address the problem of some salons soaking off dip powders every 2 to 3 weeks for 20+ minutes at a time in acetone. This causes major damage to the nails and I have seen multiple infections due to this practice.
For sure we do have a real time focused on removal with vs without acetone
I find that removing slickpour versus gel with e-file takes forever!!! Double the time.. I do not want to soak and can't handle the long removal so for now I don't offer slickpour :( (using the coarse safety bit)
Chloé Paris That is where I am at. Drilling takes too long and really too much drilling is bad for the nail plate also and if you use acetone that often I have had multiple people come in with infection. So I do not offer this service due to what I have seen
Excelente información👏👏👏👏gracias
❤️❤️
I just read a post yesterday from Doug Schoon I posted on TTW about dip powder. When people ask I tell them basically when you said all the time.
I had a client come in once from out of town to get her dip powder removed and just wanted her cuticles cleaned up. It ended it being that who ever did her nails used MMA. It took me 1 hour to properly soak it off. She told me she was never going to that salon again once I explained what MMA was.
What’s MMA?
Yea it is common!! Unfortunately
carmen m Fernandez MMA = methyl-methacrylate, which I believe is dental acrylic, right?
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Methyl_methacrylate
Is MMA acrylic illegal?
This acrylic product is illegal when being used on the nails, it can cause permanent loss and damage of the natural nail, as well as numbness in the fingers. ... MMA has been BANNED in the nail industry for over 20 years but is still being used because it is cheap!
Environmental issues and health hazards
Edit
In terms of the acute toxicity of methyl methacrylate, the LD50 is 7-10 g/kg (oral, rat). It is an irritant to the eyes and can cause blindness.[4] Irritation of the skin, eye, and nasal cavity has been observed in rodents and rabbits exposed to relatively high concentrations of methyl methacrylate. Methyl methacrylate is a mild skin irritant in humans and has the potential to induce skin sensitization in susceptible individuals.[12][13]
I developed contact dermatitis from hard gel that the small day spa I started my career at, so badly, that I had a horrible rash all over my fingers and arms! I had only an arm rest “dust extractor” which was basically useless imho. The tacky dispersion layer was “removed” with 99% alcohol. I was devastated, thinking that my new career that I loved, was over before it got started.
Kathi Rochemont personally told me that by using alcohol instead of Afterwipe (which I’m thinking is similar to youngnails Swipe) that there was an invisible layer of uncured gel in my nail dust. No wonder I had a rash!! Switched to Afterwipe and eventually my rash went away!
Thanks to top notch education from both youngnails & nailbasics and a KICKASS Timal dust extractor combined with a quiet Miele vacuum from Canadian Tire?
I can WEAR BLACK CLOTHING at my desk, not require me to wear a surgical mask (unless I have a brutal head cold ) & I’m still LOVING my career as a certified nail tech after 18 years.
Someday, pleeeeeeease SOMEDAY, Professional nail techs in Canada will finally become a RED SEAL CERTIFIED TRADE.
I fully intend to pass that test (written as well as practical) & I will have to be able to do acrylic, hard gel, & a zillion different techniques for nail art!
Ay yi yi, so much work but so much fun too!! 🥳
Only use EMA products!!!! Do not use MMA on nails!
👍Love it.. There is a lot of false marketing out there.. I hope you address more of these topics
For sure
It’s glue! They’ve been around since the 70’s/80’s. The Nail Hub TH-cam channel has the best explanation of what “dip powder’s” are. She goes into details. Js
Firstly thank you for this video very informative for anyone, enjoyed your knowledge on such a huge aspect of acyrilic powder 🙂
Thank you for watching!
Any comments from you guys about "dip powder flu?" I now know for certain after gradually intensified allergic reactions, that I can't dip unless I'm outside, and even then, I'm masked and have my dusk collector on when filing. I have never had issues with any other kind of enhancement or builder including using various glues etc.
Can you use dip powder with longer nails or even tips? Is it strong enough for that?
You can, you would just want to make sure you are adding a little more product in the stress area for support.
I had to do a write up on my nail page explaining this with all nail systems. That no one system is better than the other or healthier than the other. It's a common lie told buy a lot of nss salons here in Australia and unfortunately clients believe it because they don't know any better
Hopefully discussing these topics can help
So true and until I started my nail tech course here in Australia I thought dip powder was healthier for nails. That’s how it was sold to me by the local nail bars. Then they filed the crap out of my nails and when they removed the dip powder in acetone my nails looked crap!
Sadly, it is the way of many marketing companies to stretch the truth, if not outright crack it into tiny fragments! Much of the confusion has been caused by dishonest marketing with the intent of charging much more for basic product and calling it something different. (I'm not putting YN in that bracket!) Add an 'organic' label and double or triple the price because much of the population will fall for it.
createinspain for sure
I just love you guys!! tfs
Thanks!
omg hallelujah! i keep saying same thing over and over ...and over
Lol our job to educate the market!
Can you use regular nail polish to sandwich between gel or acrylic? ie do an extension with acrylic then apply a glittery regular nail polish (not gel) on top and encapsulate the nail polish in more acrylic?
You would need to allow the polish to fully dry as most polishes would take hours to dry
Thanks so much! I've been wondering about that for a while now! I've got so many regular (not gel) polishes and have been thinking of how or if I could incorporate them with gel or acrylic extensions.
Caption polish with Caption Conversion!
Thank you! I tell people this all the time to try to educate them on the nonsense they hear from other people or on the internet. Acrylic applied with glue!
For sure
Thank you for this you hit all the false claims that drive me nuts especially when they say ORGANIC!
Can you touch more on the actual dip portion (finger in the container) and if it can actually cause all these infections people are posting pictures off. 🙏🏽❤️
I personally pour in a separate container and toss after every client.
Correct you should definitely be using a separate amount for each client.
Thanks for all the information
Always
I will need to check out your products
❤️❤️
Thanks for the video.
Thanks for watching
Can talk talk about products that claim to be "hypoallergenic" and why it's not possible. I say those products are less likely to cause an allergic reaction but it isn't a guarantee. The companies who claim it won't say that it's not possible for an allergy to arise even with proper skilled application.
Education is key
Dip powders are not hygienic what so ever unless you put it in a separate pot still I wouldn't use it personally myself
Definitely would never want to use the same product on multiple clients
Good point and it’s often misused in many salons!
Can you do dip nails with regular acrylic powder?
Not exactly the sake in that sense dip powders are ground up twice as fine as traditional acrylic. Regular acrylic won't absorb the exact same.
From what I see and understand, most nail systems are petroleum based. Petroleum is organic, it’s just not the fertilizer-free, hmo-free organic we think of when we go to the grocery stores. Then we manipulate it in a lab to get what we want from it. The problem is the manipulation of marketers trying to come up with the latest schtick to sell their product or make it seem better than everyone else’s which just can’t be the case. My humble opinion.
Interesting
I wish I could take credit for the petroleum part of that comment, but I got that from Jim McConnoll, chemist over at Light Elegance. And I just happen to be familiar with marketing strategies. I wonder if marketing people believe the bs they come up with...?
Thank you!
❤️
I want to know what dip powder brings compare to gel polish or acrylic overlay ?
None of these services are meant to replace one another. They are options, all techs prefer different services and sometimes clients require a different service . We like to provide you with the product and information behind it so you can make your best judgement call on what they need to have done.
YN, can you tell what kind of product the activator is?
Catalyst
Its weird though, a lot of dip powder won't work as acrylic so some must have a formula incompatible with monomer.
The glue is also an acrylic product
For sure
Just shared to my nail page. If you guys have a video explaining MMA I'd love to share that to
Will work on something for sure
Thank you
Recently we've been having a lot of customers come in with cracks in their nails and we don't know why. Is it our application? Has this happened to anyone else? We don't use YN powder.
This would be something we would need a little more information behind to help trouble shoot. Send us a DM and we can discuss for sure
Can you define what gel is the same way you did this video????🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻💅🏻
Will look into it
My sister told me she would only use dip powder because it was better🤣🤣🤣🤣. Imagine her shock when I told her they were the exact same thing🤣.
OK COUPLE QUESTIONS and COMMENTS HERE - PLEASE BARE WITH ME 😄😄 There's SO much hair flipping over dipping, my goodness!!
If (since) dips are acrylic, is it possible some aren't? Ha I know that sounds silly but I'm asking bc I've experimented with some from a handful of different brands and some (many) just don't work - like I might as well have added water and got out my paint brushes. Crazy pants.
Some brands claim on the box: "with vitamin E and calcium" or something to that extent. Is that really a bonus, like are we going to see better (healthier) results for long term use this way or is it just hype and the benefits are negligible?
You mentioned the glue/resin is cosmetic grade. Should folks only use what's marketed as "base" or will they be alright using nail glue or (crazy glue, gorilla glue, et al) as their base layering glue. I haven't done it personally but I've seen others do it and recommend it.
Resin is glue? I didn't think they were one and the same; it hadn't ever occurred to me.
When we pour dip powder, are we pouring the remainder back into the jar? If we've sanitized our hands (more than once from start to finish) then is the powder chemically enough (like the glue) to resist any minute germ-y stragglers that might've possibly survived the cleansing?
I've forgotten the rest 😂😂
Disclaimer: I'm a super curious, nerds-out-on-the-details, observant DIYer with freakishly thin, slippery nails on a tight budget 👀🤓 💅🏼
I just got my first YOUNG NAILS order as I'm trying to re-teach myself to do my own acrylics. 😎
I've thought about becoming a nail tech but Indiana makes it stupid hard to become a nail tech, starting with having next to no schools but requiring a million hours of learning. Then, the schools that do exist won't let you JUST learn nails so you have to go through hair and skin and everything else so then it costs >/= $10,000!! 💀💀💀
Sarah Vadas nope, basic rule of thumb is if there’s a powder involved it is an acrylic. Yes there is a risk of cross contaminating when dipping which is why you should dispose of the excess after each service, also why we pour rather than dip.
@@youngnailsinc fantastic 👌👌 What about the glue questions?😊😊
Oh and the vitamins added. Any idea on the deets?! 🤓🤓💅🏼
False advertisement
Yes fine acrylic powder glue and liquid

Thank youu a lott,
Welcome!
Btw “How much” do I get to charge for that information to my clients😉
Patricia Ruelas oooooh I love this question!! LOL. If only us certified techs could charge what lawyers do for “free” legal advice! I knew dip powders were acrylic!!!! Organic?!! Are you 🤬kidding me?!? I’m stunned some companies are claiming that; wtf?!?
Sorry about my emoji cursing I just get so frustrated when a client argues with me regarding what acrylic is. Even high end salons will LIE , telling the client that what they’re getting is HARD GEL when they’re, in reality, getting ACRYLIC with a hard gel top coat! Plus they will charge more for that service! When I told this client that she was lied to, she still insisted that I was wrong! Ever had a client who literally tells you how to do your job?? 🙄
Grrrrrr. Arrrrrgh.
Lol!
AND GLITTER!
Kitty Blitz is magic.
Just sayin'.
Just an FYI, regular acrylic powders don't get blown around as easily but maybe don't ask me how I know ok? This is why I generally keep to dipping, but yesterday my favorite drag queen's thumb hit bottom. I need to figure out how to do his nails without that issue.
The FDA regulates the term 'organic' for food, but not for cosmetics. I think this should change. The average consumer doesn't realize they're a C-based life form so they can't be expected to think in those terms.
I have had customers come in when I was in school and tell me some things their regular techs had told them, which I did not want to contradict, however, I was unable to provide the service. I love that I have another option for my clients.
But it can be blown around pretty easily, which is why I dip rather than pour.
Marina Dobbie Ever accidentally sneeze when doing your own nails and don’t have the nanosecond of being aware that you should sneeze into your elbow?!?
Custom glitter mix EVERYWHERE. That certainly wasn’t pleasant and a logistical nightmare of epic proportions to clean up. I felt like I’d spread fairy dust all over my desk , myself OMG that was NOT PLEASANT.
Thankfully I was alone and my all black cat (RIP Echo) wasn’t anywhere close by either.
What a mess!! 🙄🤦🏻♀️🤧

@@miramooney2221 oh dear God NOOOOO!!!!
I had to have the swamp cooler on while I was doing a set, went to pour the SlickPour and it blew across my table. Dipped instead!

Just saw a new nail salon in my local neighborhood open up called Organic Nails 😖
Our job as techs is to educate the public as best we can !
Is it true you can get in infection with using dip powder
Products are not the problem as long as your tech is practicing proper sanitary measures
Iv had the dipping products,Just never used them, Becuz I was not educated on it, for me if I’m not getting it done why should I put this on my clients, it worried me as far as,, is this to good go b true. I doubted it Becuz it was so simple. Will this really hold...yes the techs will tell you good feed back, just to make there money. Thank you thank for clarifying this to me. I feel better with putting it on my clients. Much respect from Arizona ❤️💎🙏🏼
Welcome, happy you enjoyed it
Personally, I don't like dip powder. Maybe it's because of the brand I'm using but I just don't like it lol I'm a gel phanatic! Much rather just do acrylic (liquid + powder) than a dip set.
P.s what's wrong with the "crackle" gel remover?
@@dawlindidit It's industrial paint remover. Not FDA approved or safe AT ALL for gel removal!
@@MargieM10 thank you. I'll look into that.
For sure, everyone has their preference and whatever works best for them is what they should practice. The gel remover is not FDA approved.
There is no way that chemicals can be healthy period point blank--healthy nail services are far few and in between
"Nails breath" WTF, our nails do not have lungs, they don't need to breath. They are DEAD. The part of nails you see, are dead. Gone, no more, toast, Asta la vista. Nothing you do, can change that. Yes, you can make it stronger or weaker by changing the keratin bonds in the nail, but the only LIVE part of your nails is deep in the nail matrix, doing it's thing and if you are thinking acrylic or dip or anything is screwing with that...you're applying it wrong (please don't shove acrylic into your nail matrix).
Lol! True true
Lol its super fine acrylic powder & super glue. Thats all it is.
Yep!
