Possibilities are endless and dont forget to CHARGE for customizing! It is all about making that client feel special and creating one of a kind nails for them.
I've thought of trying this so many times! Thank you for doing such a fantastic job not only of explaining the steps, but also for explaining the "why". That's what seems to be the way I learn. Knowing "why," I guess it helps me to remember each step more easily. 🤔🤗
Been doing this forever ❤️ I figured if glitter can go in synergy then so can slick pour because it absorbs so beautifully in conversion base. I love it soooo much 😊 and don't need to get so many gel polish colours cause I can use my acrylic powders 😎
Love the look 💕 You could literally just use slick pour and gel for everything!! And the fact that it comes in soo many colors 🌈 - the possibilities are endless 🌟 Can’t wait to start a new career as a nail technologist 👩🏽💻💅🏽
I absolutely love watching your channel. I have learned so much and I can now confidently do my nails, so many different ways. Not only do I save a lot of money but it feels great when people ask where I get them done and I tell them I did them and I learned from YN channel. Thank you all so much🤗😍💖
Can I mix any dip powder with any polygel? Also, does it matter what type of mixing palette I use to mix? Can it be stainless steel, glass, marble, etc.?
I'm an acrylic tech and NEVER used gel b4.. so I have no experience or even room to talk lol but to me from only using acrylic this process looks super chunky and hard to work with.. I dont think I could ever do this lol props to gel techs.. no I'm not a negative Nancy or a troll lol just my opinion as being an acrylic tech.. I'm sure I'm wrong tho.. its probably super easy lol just sharing my opinion.. thanks for sharing guys 😊😊
Very pretty and versatile. I didn't know anything about these products. But, now I'll definitely be getting some. I do love to play with my nail art 😁 You really do sound just over it all. Like you're bored out of your mind and about to fall asleep.. I hope you can find the joy and fun in it again. 💕
@@youngnailsinc Great! No apologies necessary. I'm glad you enjoy your work...life's too short. Plus there's just so many new toys coming out to play with all the time 😁💕
Wow, that was sooo Beautiful!! Can you use clear acrylic as a thin base instead of gel? And then use gel on top of the acrylic? I have another question, as I have problem with coloured acrylic since the darker ones tends to marble a bit when I try to do a full nail. Can I use slick pour with a regular acrylic application technique? Or does it only work as a dip powder? If not, what is the difference between dip powder, slick pour and coloured acrylic? Sorry if my questions are stupid, I’m a total beginner 🙏🏻
Yes you can use an acrylic base, yes slickpour can be used as traditional acrylic with monomer. Dip systems are just ultra finely ground acrylic powder.
Yes, you can store your extra in an opaque jar. Here is a video: th-cam.com/video/udS6a--qCKI/w-d-xo.html www.youngnails.com/products/1-4-oz-mixing-jars-white-4pk
Question ? When applying the gel and dip combo did you use any solution to adhere it to the nail? I love the slick pour option would love to see this on a tip?! 🌈❤️💕💎
I may be wrong...BC I'm newer to nails, but the rubber base is awesome for a tacky layer. I've learned through process that it seems to have almost twice sticky layer as typical base. 😊
Could I do this with a gel base or top coat? I want to do some nail art but I would like to match the gel I'd be Using for nail art to the color of dip powder I'm wearing. So I don't need to build a nail with it just would love to do a little nail art with custom colors. Great video y'all!
All the blitz glitters as well as flash and burn, american rose, the clear as well as the nudes. I love jade stone too. The pinks are popular and the reds like rev your engine and the blue sports fanatic.
Preference, I like to think of my clientele. Is my clientele more partial to nudes and soft tones or wild neons? Also consider the season, as we come into summer might lean towards brighter fun shades.
What are those spade like spatulas called or where can I find one please? I have the polygel ones that are double sided but they're in-line with the handle. Looking for one with that spade shaped head and the dip or bend where it meets the handle. Thank you for your videos! They're always so informative! ❤
You can grab them at an art store! It’s similar to a palette knife. If you go to Michael’s/joanns/Hobby Lobby, head to the oil painting section and you’ll find a bunch of options for the spatula and for palettes :)
Unfortunately, we can't speak on other products as we don't test them. Mixing our slickpour into the gel doesn't make it a hard gel. It's already a hard gel product prior to that.
Can you use your ManiQ gel as your base before you use your maniQ gel color OR should we just use the ManiQ base coat? Or does it not matter? Would we still get the same results? &&& can you Mix the ManiQ with the glitters and slick pour powders?
So Doug Schoons most recent face2face talks about how this is actually dangerous for customers. That adding pigments to gel can cause shadow curing (some parts arent as cured as others) and even if your not worried about the loss in strength, when you file it off it throws uncured product into the air and increased risk to develop allergies. i'll probably still do it for myself, but good to know that there is a negative side effect to this technique if working with clients.
I think this is for those who don't rest their gels and acrylic powders in the research and development process. Just like those who don't test lamps with their gels. Young nails are manufacturers so they need to test these mixtures out before recommending them due to insurance purposes
Also how does the rose gold and holo silver glitter colour precision gel have glitter etc? Other polygel brands are acrylic mixed with hard gel and some manufacturers come out with glow in the dark, black white acrygel / polygel. So how does that not cause the shadow curing. It's when it's items from different brands not tested together that cause issues just like mixing brand x monomer with brand x polymer.
@@belamourbeauty idk if you remember when people tried to make diy poly gel and used this exact method to do so. it makes it so it cant cure correctly. the acrylic in the gel isnt designed to work like this, its designed to work with a monomer. mixing in glitter or any pigment to gel will always bring up the question of if the glitter or pigment will not allow the UV to pass through. i have some white poly gels that when used correctly will cure, but if i use too much or there is a thicker part it will not cure. im not sure if light strength would affect this but then you risk heat spikes...i rather not waste such expensive products and take the time to emboss the nails in that glitter with out the acrylic added, as many companies have the glitter stand alone.
@@youngnailsinc I love this method and have used it for years, but if there is merit to what he said, and there usually is, its something to think about. Its Question 370 if you care to take a look.
Thank you for the feedback. It's a speed technique that we use that the nails don't need to look perfect the whole way through. You don't want to get any product on the skin, but trying to make it look perfect all the way through makes your services take longer. As long as the nails look amazing at the end of the service it shouldn't matter too much. We always say trust the process. Here is a great example video: th-cam.com/video/gEmsfJ15Z6s/w-d-xo.html

Yes you can!
Can I mix dip powder with builder gel to get a polygel consistency to use with plastic nail forms or can I mix dip powder with polygel?
Love the look 💕 You could literally just use slick pour and gel for everything!! And the fact that it comes in soo many colors 🌈 - the possibilities are endless 🌟 Can’t wait to start a new career as a nail technologist 👩🏽💻💅🏽
For sure!
Feeling excited! A week ago I asked on Instagram if it's a bad idea to mix slick pour with gel and voila...
Thanks for uploading this 😍
Hope you like it!
@@youngnailsinc love it!

You are so welcome!
This is such a creative idea, I have both your gel and slick pour and I’ve never thought of this ! 🤗
Thank you! 😊
Beautifully done
Could i use this to change the Tone of a nude builder gel? Make it warmer or cooler for example. Or maybe add White to make it lighter!
Awesome 👏.
I wonder if we can mix gel polish into builder gel
This is incredible. So beautiful. I. Am. Obsessed. 😍😍😍😍
Can I mix any dip powder with any polygel? Also, does it matter what type of mixing palette I use to mix? Can it be stainless steel, glass, marble, etc.?
Gorgeous 😍 love love love!!!! So beautiful and such versatility in these products 👏🏼👏🏼 thank you for sharing 🙏
Thank you so much!!
Very pretty!! Thanks for another way to use my Slick Pour products!!♥️
You are so welcome!
Hello, Could you mix gel also with acrylic powder? From the regular line / core?
Sure can. Like mentioned in the vid if it gets too thick to work with just add more gel.
YoungNailsInc
Thank you. I appreciate the reply.
That's great. You can actually use slick pour 3 or 4 ways. Awesome
Yes you can!
Beautiful!😍 I can’t wait to try this technique!

Question ? When applying the gel and dip combo did you use any solution to adhere it to the nail? I love the slick pour option would love to see this on a tip?! 🌈❤️💕💎
No additional solution, just don't remove the tacky layer from the base gel
I may be wrong...BC I'm newer to nails, but the rubber base is awesome for a tacky layer. I've learned through process that it seems to have almost twice sticky layer as typical base. 😊
Very nice!
Thanks!
Realllly cool 🤩
Thanks
Can I store gel/dip powder mix in a double walled jar for later use?
How long will the ‘shelf life’ be if I can?
Yes as long as it is UV protected, should last as long as any other gel
Thanks for sharing this.
SO MANY IDEAS OMG THANK YOU
You're so welcome!

My issue is with all the colors what should I buy first I'm on a budget what is like the top 10 I should invest in first ??

Awesome technique Steph. Thanks for the holidays art hint lol
Pretty

Beautiful 💅💅💅💅💅💅💅🌺
Thanks for watching
This may seem silly, but do you think I could do the same thing with poly gel?
Looks awesome! Where did you get this lil mixing tool? 😊
You can find them in most craft stores or online "painters knife"
YoungNailsInc Thank you so much! I wasn’t sure how it’s called so my ebay searches were unsuccessful lol.
Have an awesome nails day! ☺️
I have sone yn glitter acrylics will these work the say way?
Yep
I need some advice! Can I mix ibd gel with acrylic
What are those spade like spatulas called or where can I find one please? I have the polygel ones that are double sided but they're in-line with the handle.

@@gabbyb92592 😂thanks!! I was scouring polish and cosmetic sites for one thinking it was something special!
What can I mix my dip powder with to create a polygel consistency to use with plastic nail forms?
I have over 140 of those colors ♡♡♡♡
Nice
Beautiful tyfs
Thank you! 😊
Is this the same as poly gel?
I used some slickpour today with my monomer.
Nice
Can I mix a big portion together and storage in a gel pot and used multiple times?
100%
Just make sure you use a opaque jar and not a clear one for gel.
Can I use regular dip powder and gel to make my hard gel
Unfortunately, we can't speak on other products as we don't test them. Mixing our slickpour into the gel doesn't make it a hard gel. It's already a hard gel product prior to that.
What exactly is slickpour? It looked like glitters 🧐🤓😋
Slickpour is YN's dip system
Great information, thanks. #TEAMYN
Our pleasure!
Can you use synergy gel with the slick pour and if so which one flex?
Yes & yes. Flex is the thinnest of the gels so it doesn't thicken up as much when mixing glitters or powders into it
Thank you
I did this but with acrylic a while back I was desperate for a color I didn’t have but only In acrylic lol
Are these the same as pigment powders?
Nope, these are slickpour which is our dip system
Can you mix a regular nail polish (no lamp needed) with a clear gel polish?
I have seen it done, but also seen it cause wrinkling and curing troubles, would mostly depend on ratio
Can you use your ManiQ gel as your base before you use your maniQ gel color OR should we just use the ManiQ base coat? Or does it not matter? Would we still get the same results? &&& can you Mix the ManiQ with the glitters and slick pour powders?
Yes to all of the above. lol ManiQ gel makes a great base and mixes well because it is so thin.
All your powders can be use as deep powders and acrylics?
Our SlickPour powders can.
Can you mix any dip powder with any gel?
Not something we have tried ourselves but most all YN products can be intermixed
Can this mixture be with acrylic powders also?
you can use any of our slickpour colors with monomer 😊
@@youngnailsinc i mean to mix gel with colour acrylic powders? not slickpour necessarily
Steph said that she made a mix with Flower Festival on a video but I don’t find it, do somebody knows the video? It’s a color that I’m interested in
Can u dip gel nails?
Can you mix gel with acrylic color or is this acrylic to ?
dip powder is a finer acrylic powder
Where can I buy your 1 to 4 dipping set?
www.youngnails.com
YoungNailsInc I was impatient bought some of your stuff on amazon.
Can you use poly gel with dip powder
Not sure as we are not familiar with it, let us know if you try it!
😍
What’s the difference between hard gel and soft gel? Polygel vs Synergy etc etc
th-cam.com/video/_arxdOMJxQw/w-d-xo.html
@@youngnailsinc Thank you 😊
Is the dip powder acrylic please
yes, it's very fine acrylic powder. It can be used with monomer as well
🤯
would love to try but too rich for my blood....
Can you mix into maniQ in a pot?
isnt this how people tried to make poly gel? i dont see how it would cure correctly like those mixtures did.
Not sure about poly gel but this cures as normal
@@youngnailsinc it does appear to be okay on a thinner layer. ♥ love you guys n all the hard work you do.

Is that technically polygel?
We would not consider this to be a polygel product. In this video, we are still using a hard gel which would not allow the product to be soaked off
What happened to Stephanie? I miss her
Stephanie is no longer with us. We wish her the best on all her future endeavors.
nice but no apex final shoot sorry
you certainly make no sense, friend
The upward inflection on every sentence is........🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️
Spatula instead of palette knife made it much clearer.
love the idea but the application does not look clean 😢 nor good at all!
