INVALUABLE !!! I have come to realise that not knowing how to fit nail forms properly is the main reason newly trained nail techs stick to using tips for ages. This video is a great tool in fitting nail forms that will eventually drop your costs when servicing a client. Tips take so long to blend but aren't cost effective. Nail forms when fitted properly are the only way to go for me. Thank you for this easy to absorb lesson! Xxx
I find that Preshape nail tips are now available and are great to help minimizing sgaping time. Nail form are some what more reasonable but you still need to be experienced to sculpt the nail in shape to minimize filing & shaping.
I second that, after watching 1 video by you, I will never watch another nail tech teach, you are the bomb.com and I am grateful to have found this page.
Wow.Half an hour of watching your channel was worth more than 700 euros worth of nail school I paid for.PLEASE consider showing us form placement for extreme nail shapes,like russian almond,edge,blade,pipe,marilyn,even ballerina.
I am a beginner in a nail technician class and I can't express how grateful I am for your videos. You are awesome! I have ordered some of your products and I can't wait to try them.
Thank you SO MUCH for being "real"! You have given a very clear explanation in less than 2 minutes that no one else seems to explain successfully in 10! My hero!
don't even know how many times i have watched the yn nail form vids - finally the angling the nail down comment makes sense. i have struggled with nail bite and placing forms so that the gel connects from the growth channel to the extension. Thank you Greg for this explanation. The gravity assist finally makes sense to me.
Thanks Greg because of you I am now doing forms on myself!! Former nail biter and now I’m sculpting my own nails. I used to go to the salon but after watching these videos I realized that the places I was going to were doing it all wrong! Besides texting and talking on their phones they were also prying my old tips off with another tip, burning me with the E file, drowning my cuticle with product, over filing my natural nails ( ouch) never offering anything new or different. I felt like a number to them. You should do a video on proper nail tech etiquette and what they should NOT be doing to your nails. God bless ❤️😊
LMAO! "Roll it, roll it, roll it". I swear my teacher taught me the same way but I always had problems with that method, mostly because I am a nail biter and my mom, whose nails I do regularly, has a high c-curve. As you stated, I couldn't get consistent results with that method. I am so grateful to have watched this video. It is so exciting to learn something that you know will work for you and to finally have answers as to why it was going wrong before. Thank you so much for sharing. I simply cannot wait until I am able to switch over to your products!
they way you show us and all the nuggets you show is giving me the confidence to do my wife's nails I bought your kit and my wife's nails never grow long so I have to use that technique THANKS A LOT!
Omg I needed this tutorial, I am a beginner & the first girl I practiced on was a nail biter, I did focus on the edges, and the nails were a complete disaster, thank you for this..
I learnt this trick by mistake when I was fighting with a form !!! lol but as it just went on so easy and effortlessly I've been doing it ever since .. good to have some clarification that it is ok to do it that way ... love you guys
I want to thank you so much ❤ I last did sculptured nails at school 2016 . I did my first set in 7years 😂This video was very helpful indeed thanks so much 🎉
Wow thanks so much! I gave up on forms because I was always taught to roll them too and it just NEVER worked! These videos have been so wonderful! It's cut my time down so much and the finished product is so much better! Thanks so much boys!
Your videos are so easy to understand, entertaining and educational. I’m not sure why I thought that this is something I would be able to do at home myself, so I purchased a bunch of different products not knowing that young nails existed. So now I’m returning everything in buying your products. Thank you for all the great videos. I’ll let you know how it turns out.
Thank you so much. I know that you already explained this on other videos, but I really like how you explained it on this video, I'm able to understand it better. Thank you.
I have used tips ONLY for 10yrs out of FEAR of getting forms wrong. I struggled with forms a few times and decided to stick with what I was comfortable with.
These forms are a game changer. I refused to buy another form but I finally broke down and bought Young Nail’s forms this week and OMG I wish I had bought them from the start. YN forms took the frustration out of form placement. Thank you!!!
When I was in school they taught me to cut the form in diagonal where the edges of the nail touches the form to not have that space Greg was talking about. I've never follow this rule, because I think is a waste of time !!! Thank you ! ♥️
We actually have another video specifically for customizing forms to odd shaped nail beds like thumbs which tend to be a little wider than standard fingers. Great vid, may want to check it out
Thank you soooooo much this makes a lot of sense. Sculpture is my nemesis so I needed a good foundation for applying forms! Do you have a video up for sculpting the different shapes? You guys rock! 👊🏽👊🏽❤️❤️
Just seeing this video, since I came across your channel I’ve been trying to re-educate myself on how to do nails..and putting the nails forms on has always been an issue. I’m going to give this a try and not worry about trying to fit the form on perfectly. Some tell you to cut the form to fit better and I haven’t had much luck with that. Thanks for the advice!! Love watching!!
This is amazing! I have struggled so much with nail forms but I can't use nail tips so i practice using nail forms. I will try these tips in this video and the other video that you linked to me. I realize I have done so much wrong! Thank you so much! This is very helpful!
Thank you for the tips. I love doing sculptured nails but it ve doing sculptured nails but it always takes me so long to get the nail forms on right. This is going to be so helpful.
Ty for showing me this. I have the hardest time with forms for some reason. I have tried and tried. I hope 1 day 2 hopefully get it. All i can do is keep practicing. Never give up! Awesome video guy's 💪👌
Dear gods, why has it taken me so long to find this video??? I have loathed forms because I hate clipping the sides and I struggle with everything else about them... this just simplified them and changed my way of thinking with them. Idk why or how. But thank you!!!
You are the best teacher ever! Thank you for all the amazing tricks you teach us. I'm happy I found you here 👌👌👌👌 God bless you and I wish you the best 👍💯
Omg I've learned so much been struggling with nail forms for 2 years on myself never tried to do it on anyone just because I always practice on myself first but watching this video made me realize what I was doing wrong and now I can correct to have perfect natural looking nails at the length I want thank you so much for your awesome video cant wait to try some of your products
I just tried forms for the first time on myself (I’m a DIY’er). I had an issue with my 2nd, 3rd, and 4th fingers on my dominant hand where in the corners on the free edge I had cracking. I’m sure it was because I didn’t put the form on right. My non-dominant hand I had no issues with. My natural nails are super short. This is a great video!!
I have the same trouble to even with long nail tips it be hard but I have no problem with my dominant hand but issue with my non dominant hand but just watching this video made me even more confident and to just take my time and have patience and the end will result will pay off
I love your forms! I recently took a class where I was given a different companies forms to work with & they so sucked. I was like why didn't think to bring my own forms 😩. Great video guys! Thank you!
Prevent her from texting...😂😂😂😂 love it! I’ve always trimmed the form when I get a wonky or bitten nail and it can be a pain. I’m going to try the tab technique! Thanks for the lesson!
These are great tips! No pun intended lol. But really, I do my own nails and ever since I started using forms, I'll never go back to anything else. I get full control and amazing shape.
Thanku so much for this cutting the tab trick instead of cutting up the blasted tip of the form since I usually screw that up but good and go thru a couple before I get it right😱...luv u guys💋💋
I have now bought all of the products that I need from you to do my own nails, so why am I procrastinating? Not sure, but I’ll try today. I have used cheap products before now and I feel confident that your products will work. I have watched so many of your videos, Thank You
I'm absolutely loving your videos!!!! Thank you so much for explaining & showing us this technique! I always dreaded forms but I'm determined to get it right now 😉💞💞
I’m t-totally not a pro doing my own nails at home. Putting a nail form on yourself is damn near next to impossible for me. This made it SOOO much easier. It still sucked to do, but it damn sure came out better than how I had been doing it.
wow those are awesome tips Greg thanks so much, I really have a hard time using forms and I usually use tips but with your tips I'm sure I'm gonna master it, Thanks so so much, also I send me hello's to Habib and Tracy, Good bless you all, and keep up the Fenominal work🙂💅💅💅
Great explanation!!! I have a hard time with forms, especially since I was taut the first way they taut you, which is wrong! Especially the corner parts, loved it, wish we could have seen design lol, but yet again awesome job! Love u guys 😘
So I'm starting nails pretty late but it's okay but you are a dope teacher I really wish you was my teacher but I'm going to continue to watch all the videos so I can understand the nail tech of it all but thank you for that information
I laughed when he said put all ten on your client to prevent her from texting😭
Great idea actually! 🤣
Most valuable tip😂
Same. That's hilarious.
😅
I let out a lil giggle too 😂😂😂😂
