Karen, you’re a phenomenal teacher. I always learn something new watching your lives or videos like this. Thank you YN for all these informative videos ❤ love you guys!
This video have the top 💯 for me Karen so we’ll explain it ido have flex gel too I can’t work with it! now I know thank you!! thank you!! Girl I love your videos you are a great teacher 👩🏫 ❤
The Synergy Base is part of our hard gel system. The base we use for our gel manicures is ManiQ Base. The ManiQ Base is a soft gel which means that it is more flexible and can be soaked off in acetone.
We recommend keeping your products at a consistent temperature of 70-75 degrees. If you are cooling (or warming) them to other extremes, this can affect their consistency and shelf life and is not recommended
Colder temperatures can be a challenge, but we recommend keeping your room at a consistent temperature so the product doesn't fluctuate. If this is not possible, you may need to warm the product to a consistency that you are comfortable working with, but we would suggest holding the jar/tube in your hands to warm it with body heat rather than using a heat source that could be dangerous with chemicals.
@@youngnailsincAre there any other videos that talk about gloss? I am not sure when I would want to use that over one of the other top coats or what the difference is.
@@ChristineCubillo Here are some videos for you: th-cam.com/video/_O05U8WBm1g/w-d-xo.htmlsi=sAuUwDoc2yKu8qmp th-cam.com/video/ifYuqcERZm0/w-d-xo.htmlsi=3X0MxPOpACPmE6Gp
@youngnails Can I use Gloss over maniQ color and it not be affected by acetone? I want the hard gel to encase the color on the nail and not be affected by acetone at all... can Gloss be applied over soft gel color without isaues?
Why is sculptor thin in the tube vs thick in the pot? Why is base gel used on top of sculpting gel in your videos. I thought base meant base or first layer. Why use base vs. flex vs. sculpting? I didn’t even know that there was more than one type of gel in the same black tube. The gel line needs to be simplified. I have bought the wrong gel products because of the confusion. These products need to be explained at the purchase point for added customer assistance and maybe even containers made to look different.
Clear sculptor needs to be a thinner consistency in the tube so that it will actually come out of it. Base is still mainly the first layer on the natural nails, but when sculpting length, we like to use it after building the thin free edge to help anchor it to the nail for added strength. If you prefer, you can use it before sculpting the free edge and if you were doing an overlay service you would still use base first. You would never sculpt the whole nail with base. If you wanted to sculpt with flex you definitely can. You would still apply a thin layer of base first and then sculpt with flex. Flex is the thinnest of our building gels. If you were going to use it to sculpt the whole nail, I would only use it if you can sculpt fairly quickly or if it’s really cold so it won’t flow as fast. Here is a video explaining all our hard gels. Our website also has descriptions of each, but we will speak with the team about adding a video: th-cam.com/video/LFykeb6GC2Q/w-d-xo.htmlsi=kvoqOYacNdig6hrK
@ The video link is very helpful. Iit definitely needs to be on the website at the purchase point for shoppers and also posted with all gel videos. There should be a “which one?” Gel picture showing all gel products together by speed or viscosity (fast faster fastest or thin thinner thinnest) … and flex is it rubber based? If so what’s the advantage of rubber base? Which gel products are for natural nails and overlays and why vs others on the natural nail?
@@wiwtb925these are all hard gels. They don’t have rubber base gels. The biggest difference is just the viscosity in these aside from base. I think base gels have a different ph for adhesion
@@MistyEwing I forgot about fiber gel! Which goes back to my point about helping customers with the gel collection and simplifying… Thanks for your help.
Karen you are looking very young and hip. Did you move to California? I like the way to teach when clogging. .i think this way of teaching suits you instead of teaching classes with irritating students that you have to come back to check on every 5 minutes and check and when I look at you 🫨you can not stop with the stupidly. That was me, I know you would come back and look at me after just demonstrating what to do and think🤯🤯I just want you to know you are awesome and I am very blessed that I learned from you (and Melissa ) if your living in California - we should meet up. Proud of you girly👑🙌🙌 Xx JB - Jonabette Tuma 🌈🍒😳✌️🕊⭐️🎾🎡💎🦩☀️🏖🛍🤍🔆🔱🔶☂︎☁︎⚯❉✝︎
Thank you for your kind words! Everyone learns at a different pace and style, so we're always happy to come back to you "every 5 minutes" and we don't judge! Hope you're still learning and growing with the skills you learned at OWC!
This was a FANTASTIC explanation/tutorial video. Thank you very much for putting it together and sharing it with us.
Glad you thought so!
Thank you Karen 😊 you do a great job at explaining everything in detail.
You're too kind!
Karen, you’re a phenomenal teacher. I always learn something new watching your lives or videos like this. Thank you YN for all these informative videos ❤ love you guys!
Thank you so much! I really appreciate you saying that.

Thank you!❤
Lovely
Thanks!
All of you are so thorough when educating thank you does young nails have an actual school where we can get our license
We don’t but we have classes just for educational purposes. You can email ray@youngnails.com for more information.
Thanks for this makes a lot of sense😊. Can I ask what do you wear on your nails gel or acrylic?
The nails she has on in this video are Synergy Gel.
Is your base gel the same as
A base gel for gel polish?
Thank you 😊
Sincerely Linda 💅
The Synergy Base is part of our hard gel system. The base we use for our gel manicures is ManiQ Base. The ManiQ Base is a soft gel which means that it is more flexible and can be soaked off in acetone.
Thank you for sharing your experience with me and all of us.
How long would you say they last on a nail bed? 3 weeks?
We recommend filling/rebalancing enhancements every 2-3 weeks.
Also depends on how fast your nails grow, I have a client an her nails grow slow so she comes every 4 weeks for a fill/ rebalance :-)
@@youngnailsinc thank you for your support
I keep all of my different YN “foundation” gel pots in a mini fridge for the opposite reason. Is that okay? 🤔
We recommend keeping your products at a consistent temperature of 70-75 degrees. If you are cooling (or warming) them to other extremes, this can affect their consistency and shelf life and is not recommended
when it's 60 degrees and the client has cold hands, I have to heat it up to get it to self-level. No other option.

What about gloss gel?
I asked the same thing! Hopefully we get an answer!
Gloss is considered a top coat gel rather than a gel used for building structure, so we didn't include that in this video.
Why was Gloss not in this demo?
