I went to nail school unfortunately the instructors were into the hair industry so i got the bare basics to apply and pass state boards. Thank you for your continued education videos they are a blessing.
I just want to thank YoungNails for these tutorials. I've have learned so much and the way you guys explain everything is so so helpful! I appreciate it!!
I just removed my gel polish with my e-file and a fine safety bit, is the first time i am doing this as i was always soaking my nails in acetone and my nails were always brittle and soft but this time, even though was my first time doing this with an e-file, they turned out just fine, i couldn't believe how easy it was and how good my nails were after that. Massive thank you for all your vidoes, i have learned so many things from you guys, and i also have loads of your products, i love them xx
I'm so glad I've watched this video. I've been told by so many people that I shouldn't use my efile for gel polish but this just proves how easy and safe it is x
Thanks for the video! Helps to reinforce my belief that this can be done safely. However, there is a very thin line between basecoat level and exposed nail plate...Any tips? Thank you! 😊
Thanks Tracey! Question, so once we do that and we are ready to put gel back on, do we continue with a base coat since there is still base coat already on there?
next time try to include which bit to use (as in corseness) and in which direction to have the bit moving in which hand. that wouldve been a real help. thanks!
great informative video. any way you guys can make a video about changing the shape from round to square or square to round or round to ballerina..etc..
Since carbide bits are fairly expensive,and I don't see it possible right now to have a whole collection of them,can a fine safety bit be used for removing all nail products,gel,polygel and acryl? THANK YOU so much for the answer.
As a home user I’ve started to have a reaction to the acetone so hoping I can efile my gel off. I use a builder gel after base for strength. Thanks for video, might need to practice on hubby first 😬
How much pressure are you applying to remove the Gel? I've tried this a few times and have not been successful removing the Gel/Dip Powder. Also what kind of Drill Bit is that? Smooth/Medium???? Gracias...
So because we file down to the base coat, if another gel mani was to follow removal, we would still add another foundation layer + color x2 + top coat? We wouldn't just add color to this old base coat correct?
Great question! You would still apply a Base, but concentrating on the exposed natural nail...then you can lightly pull it over the rest of the nail to smooth it out. This will keep the nail from getting too thick.
Thanx⭐ thought it was for safety but wasnt sure if it had a # etc. getting my stuff prepared .😺 def safety first 👸. appreciated how u detailed yr system & explained how it gets hot. ouch! Ive felt that before .then in turn the next time theres anxiety about getting zapped .you cant relax .. def understand & feel better about using the safety bit,thanx again 🎐🌸🎐
I am scared to death of electric files. I had a horrible salon person take off a gel/acrylic overlay on one of my fingers (thank goodness it was just on the one finger) and she filed almost through the nail, in places the nail was almost gone.
Chop shop Vietnamese nail parlors are notorious for not knowing how to use the tools and enhancements the right way! Read yelp reviews of your local nail salons practically every Vietnamese joint will have a plethora of bad reviews it's like Greg says "It's the fools that hurt client's, not the tools."
Tiffany Tran You might be the exception but just because YOU are running a clean operation doesn't mean all are. I am not trying to be racist, it is inherently racist because of how the industry is skewed. I would be very very leary of getting a pedicure in any Asian salon. You just hear so much, see so much on the news and read so many horrible reviews. I mean using toxic MMA, not washing the pedicure chairs, cutting feet and cuticles and not stopping the service, gel polish chipping after a few hours a day and then blaming it on the client that they were swimming too much or washing dishes, Not autoclaving or even having barbicide and just putting tools in a drawer it's all just a huge recipe for yuck!
STORM I am not saying I am THE ONLY ONE running one. I agree with you. And I’ve seen it all. I’ve worked at one and gladly left. It’s insane. I’m just saying.
Awesome, thanks Tracey! What about nail tips? What's the safest way to remove nail tips with an e file? I want to ensure the next nail tip will properly adhere to natural nail and not be inhibited by previous nail tip remains. Or do you suggest just filing to the nail tip and soaking the rest off, (I don't want to use acetone) takes a lot of time!
I have and e file from amazon and I have been trying to remove the gel polish from my natural nails but it was not filling off easily and took a lot of time! Also the base coat didnt come out properly! Could you please help me! Thank you
It can, but you will have to be careful not to damage the natural nail. If you prefer to file off gel polish you can use a base coat under go time to protect the nail.
I always file off but I just go a comment from someone who says it is better to soak everything off. So first file away to the base en the rest needs to be soaked off.. I dont know now.. I am confused.. and is buffing the natural nail ok to do.. I mean when you buff your car one time with the buffer you will see damage... How is that on the nailplate?? Maybe it isnt necessary at all??
So I use dip powder and want to move to gel with dip method. I plan to use gel base and builder gel as an extra layer of protection so when I e-file the color off I can have more protection. Which bit is this? Looks like diamond bit-? Thank you for this video. What rpm do you set this at?
Always make sure you are pulling towards yourself when electric filing. And if you are right handed you work regular with regular bits, if you are a lefty you will work in reverse with left handed bits.
@@youngnailsinc Yes I do work towards my self, I had a client with shorter nails, so when i was at her free edge the drill slips onderneath and It scared me, but the clients was scared too.. so I stopped and took my hand file...
Hi! Can the fine safety bit be used to file & shape dip and remove it or would I need 2 different bits - one for removing gel/dip and one for shaping dip? One last question, I'm left handed but I'm purchasing it for doing my own mani, so would I use a left handed bit on reverse but I'll need to put it in forward when using my right hand to remove polish from my left? Lastly, how is the fine safety bit different from your tornado bit? Can that one be used for removing gel/dip and shaping dip too? Thank you!
The fine safety bit is good for gel polish removal but for dip or acrylic you should use the safety bit coarse. Yes lefties work in reverse with the left handed bit
I’m right handed and doing my own nails. When I have to use the efile in my left hand would I need a lefty bit and go in the other direction? Am I overthinking 😬
@@lkatz85 If you are a using a bit that doesn't specify if it's right or left handed, like our coarse safety bit, it can be used both ways. If it does specify they you would need to switch bits.
Do you leave the base coat? I have some clients who will stop me and ask if I am going to wrap and soak off the nails... I think the idea of using ONLY the drill to remove gel scares them. A lot of these clients also probably think it is necessary to remove everything including the base, to get a fresh new manicure each time - if not, I assume they think I'm doing a bad job for not starting with "bare" nails. What do you tell these clients?
Why is y bit always slipping under the free edge? I do exactly the same, one direction towards me, but it alsways slips under the nail... what can I do?
I have a question. I got a customer and i wanted to remove her gellac with a e file but her nails are red because of a other nail salon and it hurts!! It was not possible to touch her nails with the e file. Do you know what i can do?
YoungNailsInc but she was a client and she was with me. She wanted a new color but everytime i go with te e file on her nails it hurts. What can i do for that moment? It has to be removed before i paint another color...
As long as you know what you are doing and using the appropriate tools the efile shouldn't cause any pain what so ever. If her nails are damaged from a previous salon it will just take time to get her nails back in good healthy shape.
Hi guys ,thank you so much for the awesom tip on how to remove the polish with the efile, I will take it to ♥and use them tips thanks a whole bunch u are amazing 😍
Yes, we have a medium and coarse Safety Bit. Here's a link to both. www.youngnails.com/products/safety-bit-coarse www.youngnails.com/products/safety-bit-right-handed
Thank you Tracey, I went through the comments and realized that question was answered. Thank you for answering my question once again. Love this channel big fan!
I challenged him to a race around the world, but since there was a no cell phone or computer rule I couldn't tell him I decided not to do it. Hopefully he will be back next week so we can tell him the good news that he won...Yeah Greg!!!
I used today a safety bit i turned my machine up to a quarter, ( My efile has 35.000 rpm ) But the gelpolish didnt come off.... do I need a higer RPM? I was a bit scared to go higher...
I wouldn't work on full speed. Hard to make judgement on a machine I am not familiar with but wouldn't recommend full speed. On ours we remove enhancements at about 1/2

I really like this safety bit. I bought one about 6 weeks ago. It works effortlessly and really does work well. Thanks for the video 😊
Ooooh! Your hair looks great Tracey!! This was definitely a lesson I needed, thank you!
You guys are the best!!! Sacramento nail show can't get here fast enough!! 💙💙💙
Make sure to come by and say hi!!
Thanks for the video! Helps to reinforce my belief that this can be done safely. However, there is a very thin line between basecoat level and exposed nail plate...Any tips? Thank you! 😊
I really love the YN safety bits. One of the best investment I've made.
Thanks Tracey! Question, so once we do that and we are ready to put gel back on, do we continue with a base coat since there is still base coat already on there?
Yes!! Applying it mostly to the exposed natural nail, then lightly pull the Base coat through the rest of the nail.
next time try to include which bit to use (as in corseness) and in which direction to have the bit moving in which hand. that wouldve been a real help. thanks!
great informative video. any way you guys can make a video about changing the shape from round to square or square to round or round to ballerina..etc..

Yep a lil practice and electric filing is the safest removal process
How much pressure are you applying to remove the Gel? I've tried this a few times and have not been successful removing the Gel/Dip Powder. Also what kind of Drill Bit is that? Smooth/Medium???? Gracias...
So because we file down to the base coat, if another gel mani was to follow removal, we would still add another foundation layer + color x2 + top coat? We wouldn't just add color to this old base coat correct?
same question here...
Can you use gelish foundation for the base coat and still file off the gel color?? Is that enough protection for the natural nail?
Mandy Rector I use gelish with other products
Great question! You would still apply a Base, but concentrating on the exposed natural nail...then you can lightly pull it over the rest of the nail to smooth it out. This will keep the nail from getting too thick.
At what speed do you have it on, because i usually need to set it high, if i set it at a slower speed, it will stop
The speed is set at a quarter to half way.
Thanx⭐
thought it was for safety but wasnt sure if it had a # etc. getting my stuff prepared .😺
def safety first 👸. appreciated how u detailed yr system & explained how it gets hot. ouch!
Ive felt that before .then in turn the next time theres anxiety about getting zapped .you cant relax .. def understand & feel better about using the safety bit,thanx again 🎐🌸🎐
How do you remove the base? With acetone?
What rps do you have your efile on to remove gel polish please?
Thank you so much for this fab tutorial. Is your bit fine, medium or coarse please?
It is medium grit.
I am scared to death of electric files. I had a horrible salon person take off a gel/acrylic overlay on one of my fingers (thank goodness it was just on the one finger) and she filed almost through the nail, in places the nail was almost gone.
Sorry you had a bad experience. That tech was not educated. Wish we could have helped her... and you!
Oh my!😲 ya that's enough for anyone to have a phobia of electric files for sure.

Is this a natural nail?
Awesome, thanks Tracey! What about nail tips? What's the safest way to remove nail tips with an e file? I want to ensure the next nail tip will properly adhere to natural nail and not be inhibited by previous nail tip remains. Or do you suggest just filing to the nail tip and soaking the rest off, (I don't want to use acetone) takes a lot of time!
File as much as you can then trim the tip away as you get down to it
It’s called a safety bit? What brand does that matter?
Can this work well for dip?
hello love the video what happens with the base coat? Do you remove that with the e file too? Or do you soak it off? Xx
🎐is there a particular bit you prefer to use for that ? enjoying yr class very informative🎐
Ty.
Safety bit
So is it ok to leave the base coat on if doing new set? Or do u apply base coat over old base coat after colour removal.
I have and e file from amazon and I have been trying to remove the gel polish from my natural nails but it was not filling off easily and took a lot of time! Also the base coat didnt come out properly! Could you please help me!
Thank you
Tracey thank you for the lessons!!!
You are very welcome.
Is it the soft bit
I just received my bits 😊. Can't wait to use them 💃.
Nice
Can an electric file be used to remove go time off natural nails as there will be no base coat. Thanks x
It can, but you will have to be careful not to damage the natural nail. If you prefer to file off gel polish you can use a base coat under go time to protect the nail.
Do you have to take off the base coat ? With the e file
no, you can soak it off if you prefer
great information ❤ tell Greg we miss him❤
You dont use pure acitone to remove gel polish?
Tracey are u using a fine or medium grit bit?
Hi Pamela, it is our fine Safety Bit.
Which drill are you using
Thanks for the video! In school they did not teach us this!!
Can I use that safe bit for dipping powder? Which size of bit should I use, dipping powder doesn’t need too much filing @youngnails
Yep the safety bit is ideal
I always file off but I just go a comment from someone who says it is better to soak everything off. So first file away to the base en the rest needs to be soaked off.. I dont know now.. I am confused.. and is buffing the natural nail ok to do.. I mean when you buff your car one time with the buffer you will see damage... How is that on the nailplate??

We recommend filing over soaking
@@youngnailsinc thnx
So I use dip powder and want to move to gel with dip method. I plan to use gel base and builder gel as an extra layer of protection so when I e-file the color off I can have more protection. Which bit is this? Looks like diamond bit-? Thank you for this video. What rpm do you set this at?
This is our safety bit and is at 8,000-10,000 rpms.
What nail machine do you use...I want to purchase your nail bit
What gel base coat do you put on the natural nails? Is it soak off or hard gel?
You could use either one since it is being removed with the e-file, but Tracey is wearing ManiQ Base.
What grit did she use to remove the gel?
This is our safety bit and it's medium grit.
Thanks for this useful video...I really appreciated it! 😍
Have a wonderful weekend ! 😘
where or what brand can i get a good e-file along with the bits?
Also when i reach the free edge, my drill also slips under the nail.. How can I prefend this?
Always make sure you are pulling towards yourself when electric filing. And if you are right handed you work regular with regular bits, if you are a lefty you will work in reverse with left handed bits.
@@youngnailsinc Yes I do work towards my self, I had a client with shorter nails, so when i was at her free edge the drill slips onderneath and It scared me, but the clients was scared too.. so I stopped and took my hand file...
How high is your speed?
I do this 💪🏽😍. I love your pink nails Traci ❤️❤️
Can you teach us about efile machines and which ones to buy or use? Which ones are best?
for sure, we would definitely recommend our efile as a preference and we will work on another vid.
Ugh! Why can't I master this!!!!!
Hi! Can the fine safety bit be used to file & shape dip and remove it or would I need 2 different bits - one for removing gel/dip and one for shaping dip? One last question, I'm left handed but I'm purchasing it for doing my own mani, so would I use a left handed bit on reverse but I'll need to put it in forward when using my right hand to remove polish from my left? Lastly, how is the fine safety bit different from your tornado bit? Can that one be used for removing gel/dip and shaping dip too? Thank you!
The fine safety bit is good for gel polish removal but for dip or acrylic you should use the safety bit coarse. Yes lefties work in reverse with the left handed bit
@@youngnailsinc would I need another bit for shaping and smoothing the dip powder once it's on or the same one with light pressure is fine?
Stupid question: I know you're saying pull it towards yourself, but which way is it spinning? Because mine can move clockwise and counter clockwise 😐😐
If you are right handed you set it to forward and left handed to reverse.
@@youngnailsinc thank you! I'm a noob when it comes to this stuff I appreciate the reply💟
I’m right handed and doing my own nails. When I have to use the efile in my left hand would I need a lefty bit and go in the other direction? Am I overthinking 😬
@@lkatz85 If you are a using a bit that doesn't specify if it's right or left handed, like our coarse safety bit, it can be used both ways. If it does specify they you would need to switch bits.
which bit is better ?ceramic vs carbide
Definitely carbide! :-)

Today’s the day I try to do a refill at home. Pray for me! 😩 I’ll now have to look up which one of these bits in my efile is the safety.
Why is y bit always slipping under the free edge? I do exactly the same, one direction towards me, but it alsways slips under the nail... what can I do?
It's possible you may have a left hand bit in, or your bit could just have a little ledge on it kicking it around.
@@youngnailsinc it is with all the bits i have, and it is right handed and i work in forward
I want to buy this bit can you tell is it the medium or course one?
we use our safety bit, coarse
But do you remove base gel for rapplication?
Nope, file down to base and remove any lift then reapply
Then how you remove the base? You soak in acetone?
th-cam.com/video/8aEGlRloZHc/w-d-xo.html
Great video x
i gotta get me one of those bits..the one that they gave in my class hurts like u know wat if cut.....love the video....
❤️❤️
Can this bit remove dip powder?
Yes it can
Super nice work
❤️
Do we can remove gel on acrylic nail?
And what level do u use to remove gel polish?
What speed do you have your dril
12,000-14,000 rpms.
is it a fine or medium grade? x
It is a fine grit.
Do you leave the basecoat on every time? If i go with the sanding bit the basecoat comes off at some places, i dont know what to do.
you can take it off completely or leave a thin layer on, it's just a preference
@@youngnailsinc thank you ❤️
Thanks for showing 👍

Great info! I appreciate it!
I have a question. I got a customer and i wanted to remove her gellac with a e file but her nails are red because of a other nail salon and it hurts!! It was not possible to touch her nails with the e file. Do you know what i can do?

yes I would work on a higher speed. Speed isn't as scary as pressure, definitely don't need to apply pressure with the electric file.
