I'm not a pro or even trained, but your videos have helped me so much. I've had to start doing my own nails because my area is stuffed to the gills with sketchy nail techs. I've had my fingers shredded, infections from tools that weren't sterile, unapproved and unsolicited "upgrades" like 'solar nails' and 'acrylic gel' been slammed with prices that don't match up, and rude and aggressive treatment. So many here just want to rush you through with the most expensive price tag they can slap on you. I've had my natural nail literally ripped off because they slid a tip between the false nail and my real nail so they could start from scratch to make me pay for a FULL nail rather than just a fill. So, out of necessity, I started doing my own. I started with dip powers, then acrylics, then ploy gels, and now I am a builder gel girl. And thanks to all of your tips I'm not terrible.
I girl I work with went to have her nails soaked odd but the tech instead took a tip and ripped them off! I can’t believe a certified person would even think of doing that!!
I only knew how to use an e-file by watching videos, never being thought or shown one on one. You must know that I am grateful to you for sharing your knowledge with me and others. Thank you for the video💐
I am a licensed nail tech, but was never trained to use the efile, just all file by hand. Thank you so much for this video. I have been watching other videos and this is by far the best. All of young nails videos has really helped me. Once again thank you sooo much!!
Can I just say, as someone who draws with charcoal, your e-file will even sharpen your charcoal pencils without snapping the point! Yes, it takes a little time, but you can get an amazing point on your charcoal pencils! Very informative video as always, YN! One of these days, I'll get my YN certificates!
Another genius, concise, highly informative video. You guys have single handedly revolutionized my beginning nail career. And for that I want to say thank you👌🏾
I am German and my English is not very good. But it's good enough to understand that your videos are some of the best. You transport knowledge so easily understandable and yet with so much information. Thank you for sharing, showing and explaining.
I have been watching all of your videos on how to hand file, e-file, how to pick up the right pearl..... and I must say........... everything you said helped!!!!!!!!! I had such a miserable time the first time doing my own acrylic nails... it took me so long! The shape of my nails came out so horrible 💔 I was miserable... until I stumbled upon your videos! Now that I watched your videos for a couple of days.... it gave me so much knowledge!! I tried doing my nails again last night and I must say... I wasn’t afraid of applying acrylic!!!! I had a much better experience! I filed the proper way! My nails turned out 100 time better than the first time!!!!!! Thank you for pouring so much knowledge into every video you do! It changed my nail game!
The three zones has helped me so much with my e-filing! I've been doing my own nails since June and you videos have helped me become SO confident with my e-file, I have no idea how even other DIY'ers do nails without one.
I can't stop saying it but you guys are the BEST!! Thank you for always teaching us your techniques and in such an easy way to comprehend. You guys were born for this! So talented and willing to help others! God bless!!
I had been struggling with shaping my own enhancements for months now and this made sense to me so I thought I’d give it a whirl. Oh my gosh! Suddenly I shaped both hands in minutes rather than an hour! You were born to teach!
The nail techs by me are so rude. Had one guy literally tell me he wouldn’t finish my set bc I asked him to fix a nail I didn’t like. 😂 this is a game changer
I am just beginning to practice doing nails and I am self taught, but I am watching lots of videos and I appreciate your content it is helping so much!!
❤I absolutely 💯 love you guys! King 👑 of 💅! I can watch you work all day! You make everything look sooooo freaking easy! Many blessings guys , I appreciate all your videos! Thank u ☺️
Y’all... thank you. I want to become licensed but right now I’m doing my own nails at home, and I have to say: all of your videos, whether it’s a how-to, biz talk, etc, are amazing and so dang helpful! You’re doing amazing work and beautiful art while educating too! Many, many, (mani) thanks!!
You make this very easy to understand and what your saying makes complete sense thank you for taking your time to show us what we so desperately need 🥰😊
This is an amazing tutorial I have been doing my nails for the last year and I’m loving it yet I have a question could you do a efile tutorial for those using structure gels, which are the best bit to use etc if you could it would be amazing. Thank you so much for all your videos here and on TikTok too 🥰🥰🥰
You guys are great about educating the field, thanks! If I sculpted this nail, however, I would *not* use my e-file on it. It’s not what I personally consider “bulky” and I would be easily content to hand file in this instance.
I love watching these videos, it helps me understand what theya are doing in a salon. The natural nail curves down as it grows. Why are nail extension filed straight and built up so thick?
Having the sidewall and lower arch come straight out provides a stronger structure to the nail. If allowed to curve down, this can put more pressure at the stress area and can lead to more breakage or racking of nails.
I have been following you and can't wait to buy more of your products, but I wanted to ask if you have a video breaking down how to hand file when you get down e-filing the nail and in what direction to file and what to look for when you are finishing up the nail.
Thank you so much for this series! Upon watching it, I've discovered I've been filing the wrong way. I've been using reverse to file even though I'm right-handed and have successfully done sets without ever hurting myself. I tried using forward now after watching your videos, but it is reallyyy hard and uncomfortable for me even when I'm trying to stabilize. Can I continue using reverse or do I just need to keep practicing and learn to file using forward? Thank you in advance for your response! I love how much you all interact with your viewers 💙
Is it just me or does Greg always look like he has just smoke a fat zoot? 😎😜😊💕💨 love it! Great video guys, just stumbled onto your channel recently and I cant get enough, it's made diy lockdown nails easy for me and has made me someone who now wants to get into the industry as a career! Much love you guys!
Man I have learned so much just from watching all your videos its crazy!!! Thank u so much I can't wait tobapply these to my next mani an post it to my youtube page!
I’m going to try this next time I do my nails, I’ve perfected gel polish application but shaping has always been my #1 enemy. They will look fine when filing but then as soon as I paint them, bam uneven and lumpy 😭
Very helpful. But what are the most important drill bits that you must have at your table to do a complete service?? And how do you use them the correct way? Also....theres carbide bits, ceramic and others which is best to use??
Just a quick question I have been watching your tutorials for a very long time ..I'm trying to learn how to do nails on myself I've already done my third set and they're looking pretty good I am having a hard time filing on myself !!any tips??
Everyone tends to have different techniques that work for them, but sometimes it is easier and you may feel more in control when filing your non-dominant hand to hold the file steady and move your hand. If you are working with an efile, we recommend using both left and right handed bits and forward/reverse for the appropriate hands.

You guys really great 👍, I love you guys lesson
Thanks Greg!
Love this information!! Thank you so much!! So do you only need to use a 180 grit file to finish the nail before gel polish application?
We like to use a 150 to finish file the nail and that's it
Thanks for the advice I really appreciate it because am just learning how to use my e-file
Good day can you do a video on how to apply acrylic around the cuticle area I just can't seem to get it right
Check out this video! th-cam.com/video/vMppR5bOod8/w-d-xo.html

Hey greg. Love the video as always.

Omg! Thank you.
great video. thanks
What other bits can be used to take down bulk after acrylic application? Is it only a safety bit?
Thank you so much
I'm going to try this..
Bc I really suck at filing..lol
Thats so Great !!!! Is that for every nail shape?
Excellent, thanks for sharing ❤
Marvelous 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾thanks....
