Bruh! I kept saying to myself, “She is effing HAULING!” The whole time. 😆 The more of these that I watch, the more I realize that I’m overthinking like...every freaking step in the process...all of it. I actually had my friend come for a fill with gel polish (removal and application) and told her to stop me if she noticed I was obsessing over something. I still took my time and was thorough but once I got through with each step, I didn’t go back and do it again. That shaved 30 min off my time right off the bat. Granted, it still took me an hour BUT! That included filing off the gel polish, prep, the gel fill, and reapplication of gel polish with dotting tool nail art on all ten fingers. I had to pat myself on the back for that and give you guys a shout for all the amazing content. You guys are the bomb. Thank you!
michell2003 I feel the same! EVERYONE says I’m too nit picky😭I’m going to try this idea and ask the model to stop me when I obsess and see where that gets me. Thanks for sharing!
Tracey you are legendary. Keep up the great content. I realise this is an older video but I am binge watching Young Nails . I am learning so much. I have been trying out new things and I couldn't do it without you x
You'll have to schedule extra time. Maybe 10 minutes! All your customers who haven't been in a while or new ones to send you a photo of their hands prior to the appointment! You set the rules!
This is a great series! I swear it’s sped up my time. I’ve actually started challenging myself. I really need a hard gel set in this series. It takes me so much longer than my acrylic sets, and I need to know what I’m doing wrong!
We ask and you provide... Again I love Real Time and I love how you care about your viewers. 💝💝💝😘😘😘😘😘 I have never seen a company this big reply to EVERY SINGLE comment. I mean Young Nails is TRULY PHENOMENAL!!! Gorgeous set Tracey!
Yes Tracy and Stephanie, not forgetting Habib. I am in love with the Real Time series. ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️ Can you do a filing series, more like how to correct filing errors- when you file too much on one side, the lower arches aren't even and the acrylic is thin already...I am going with the the best thing is knowing how to correct your mistake theme.
Tracie is bomb! She has a great process that works... At first you’re like WTF and she’s left with a masterpiece... Great job and the nails are gorgeous.. I think my favorite set you’ve done so far ❤️
Lots of great advice here! I just finished creating my very first full set at home as it took me 7hrs! So I’ve been wondering to myself if that’s how long it really takes when you first start out. Thanks Tracey for putting me at ease with my learning process about that. I hope to be able to do nails this fast some day.
Yes! Love this one! Practice is key. I have to learn to talk and work and not to be distracted. When your practicing on friends and family I think it harder because they want to talk! I’m going to start having a timer next to me and tell them I trying to get down my time. I agree with Tracey when she said not to worry about little imperfections and spend time refining things. It’s real life not a photo shoot! Let It Go!
These are beautiful nails! I am obsessed with glitter and mylar :) I can't help but feel like they were a little rushed though, there were some clear gaps of topcoat towards the cuticle area.
I got tired of nail tech's rushing because the shop would get busy. Places that accept walk-ins, customers would start piling in, so my nail tech would start rushing my appointment and it was obvious in the end result. This happened too often, so I taught myself how to do acrylics. I do my own and family members. I get better each time, but it does take me 2 hours, 3 if I do something fancy. I'm a bit of a perfectionist, so I need to work on that and stop over-thinking. Your videos are a huge help to me, so thank you for providing this amazing service 😊
Love glitter. Love the topics you're touching on. My frustration comes from all my clients are my friends and expect that they can come to get 1 nail fixed any time they want right up until their next set. This has taken all the enjoyment out of it for me.
Watched this and loved that it was real time. Absolutely loved the design so I did it myself and I’m impressed with how they look. I remembered what you said about it doesn’t matter if it looks a holy mess, let the drill do the work AND don’t over think it and it worked! I could sit and star at it all day, it’s hypnotising! I used some coloured crushed shells in mine too. Only had silver Mylar but effective. I’ve just received an order for a set of 9 different pots of Mylar and I’m in Mylar Heaven. This design is SO me and this will be my holiday set. Thank you so much for showing and sharing and explaining so clearly, in real time 💅🏻👏🏻🏆🙋♀️🇬🇧💐
I love that you are now doing real time videos, it is so valuable for us to see, thank you!!! Your how much videos give us great information as well, so thank you again for being so educational as well as inspirational in your videos. I love Young Nails - and Tracy and Habib:)
Oh gosh! I’ve done all of that hot mess too. I thought I was doing something wrong to over think it. I never would have thought of making a stiletto and turning into a ballerina what a great idea and allows that perfect finish. I’ve learned so much from watching you.
Beautiful set! I remember back when I first started, it took like 4 hrs for a full set, biggest challenge for me, was to NOT look at my client when I'm chatting with them, that took an HR off my time alone! Lol love the stationary chair idea, that's what I'm getting next!
Love all the videos!!! Started practicing with your products and I am in love! As a sahm can’t go out and do my nails much but now I can do them myself!!
Wow, just wow! It motivates me even more. Right now i do full set in between 1,5-2h but I’ll practice even more to have a better technic and faster time. Love all your knowledge you pass on to us! Thank you again for posting so helpful videos!! ❤️👌🏾😍
Just getting into acrylics after being a natural nail tech for 8 yrs! (No spa I worked offered acrylics) loving these videos!! Have some shopping to do 💅🏼
Thank You Both so Much! I started back doing nails because Love it. Thanks to you Tracy you give me inspiration that I can get my basic foundation down. Thanks, Greg for making Gel easier, and nail art. Thanks, Little Dimo Young Lady I Love your designs I know I cannot and will not be physically or mentally to execute all of your design But I have a few I am going to die trying, especially the Bow. ( Sorry I tried to go back to find your name, Please I hope I did not offend you by calling you Little Demo, I admire that you have an awesome Nail Career at such a young age, I am 65 so you are young and this my way of showing you RESPECT and ADMIRATION.) THis go for all of you Tracy, Habbie & Greg
Love this series! Definitely challenged me to do my own nails faster and more efficiently. It used to take me 2 and a half hours to do my nails. After cutting out the nap i normally take in the middle, i can finish a sculpted set in an hour.
I’m so glad you were honest about the first 3 nail rule! Doing nails for 20 years and I still have to ask why don’t I practice 3 or 4 nails first before I start a full set? Who has time for that though?
This set is lovely! Even though it was a record time wise, it wasn't so nerve wrecking than the 30min goal. Love the art flakes used after the blue glitter. What is it called?
Yesssss honey soooo good I love you guys!!!!! I’ve learned so much from your videos hope to meet you all some day planning to take a class soon I’m so excited!!! To keep learning and keep growing my business ❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏
Okay I’m really staring to like Young Nails. I made my first order and LOVED everything even the stuff I haven’t used. This video pushed me over the fence. And I started doing some extra learning at a spa where all the nail services are scheduled for an hour😳I didn’t think it could be possible but this video sealed the deal. Services in an hour is going to skyrocket your income abilities. Now I need to figure out how to get on this wave so I can get moving. Thanks for sharing!
Omg its taking me about 3 to 4 hours as a newbie for a full set/fill struggling with clients that come from other salons with super bulky nails alot of lifting packed on product as far as glitters and etc.. Then I waste time on practically "starting over". How do i get clients to be open about what is on their nails previous to me doing them? So I can schedule accordingly
Photos! Luckily we live in the era of texting. Always request photos before the appt to see what you are working with and it is very common to deny working over another techs work. You could request they arrive with naked nails.
Text every client that theres a removal fee if u have to remove their naila and start from beginning. That is if they have nails from other people u will have to juge it upon arrival and filing cause u cant usually see it well on a pic. And if they damage ur work by biting on the sides of the nails and making them lift, u cant really fix that in a good time its better to just remove them and start over but charge a fee and new set price. I charge 10to15 dollars for removal WITH a new set. 25-30 dollars only removal no new set.
Love these videos! Thank you for trying to help us nail techs advance in our careers. One of my problems with clients is they want me to pick a design for them. They want something with art but they don't know what. It's very hard for me to focus on my work, focus on talking to them and come up with an idea they will like. I recently started charging for art (thanks to you guys) so I also don't know how to tell them well I have an idea you will like but it will cost you 😅
Lol! Good for you for charging. Try to use that to come up with an idea together, start with "what is your budget?" Then go from there, "ok what colors are we feeling today..." etc.
Slowy Grrrbear - I keep a set of chakra stones in my desk and I have the client pick the one they are drawn to the most. Then we pick a color scheme from there. I find that color therapy is just as helpful on your nails as shirts or colored lenses for glasses. The color of the stone doesn’t necessarily correspond to the chakra that is unbalanced, if that makes sense. Hematite corresponds to your root chakra and it’s a beautiful dark grey but your root chakra is red. I always have a happy client when we do it that way and it doesn’t take long at all.
"If your client wanted you to spend kore time with them, what would you do?" "Hmm.... no." 😭😂 Thanks so much for the tips Tracy! Especially with regards to speed. Loving this series.
I think, like anything that is a learned skill, it is the practice which not only hones technique but also how fast you are able to do that thing. Cooking is another example and my previous career. My first wedding cakes took AGES and the more I practised the faster I became. We used styrofoam forms that were sealed so we could practice frosting on them. I think what made me so fast at nail extensions was having two practice hands. Not just a finger, but a full hands and running fill sets. It's not a 100% analogue for a human, but it is worth the investment if you are serious. The conversation is a little one-sided, however ;) At least they are not indecisive or in a hurry.
@@rachbeth86 don't you just want to do royal icing designs or a traditional basket weave or something the like sometimes and have no idea how in the hell you could? At least I do :)
Jenn W omg YES!! I've been thinking too how cool it would be to create a clear icing and "encapsulating" edible flowers and designs in cakes and bringing techniques used on nail work to cakes too. How cool would that be tho seriously?? Lol I don't do cakes near as much these days tho, basically just for my family now, but I always try to think outside the box for unique designs on nails for sure! I found snake skin under my deck a couple years ago and started using it in nail art and those nails always turn out bomb! I'm always so amazed with all the different unique things you can bring to the table with nails!
@@rachbeth86 could you just imagine how stunning a sugared violet would look? And imagine laying nasturtiums across all 5 nails so it patterns out? Like a nice bright orange and purple over a pale soft green?
Love these real time videos. Beautiful tracie 😍. So glad mentioning question topics asked during video also. always wondering were you got those towels. The ones i use move all over those stay in place for you.
I would love to see one hand done in the gel with exactly the same look just to compare. I stopped acrylics years ago and am strictly doing the synergy gel
I noticed that you added clear acrylic to the glitter. correct?? Is that necessary or just what you do.I don't do that. But,I think I'll try it. I am a DIY and I do all of my friends and neighbors nails. But id love your input. I've noticed you are straight to the point and a go getter. I appreciate your information and videos, thank you for the education
When working with acrylic, you generally have to combine the glitter with the acrylic in some form. In this video, she is showing how to pre-mix the acrylic powder with the glitter. Here's a video to show another option to use your glitter with acrylic. th-cam.com/video/no0hOrehhOE/w-d-xo.html If you are using hard gel or gel polish, there are other ways of incorporating the glitter into the gel.
I love how Tracey talks about the process not needing to be pretty -that's definitely something I struggle with because a lot of techs on ig post these "acrylic laid before filing" pictures where they already look perfect and it's just not acheivable for me. But I agree with you, if the end result is great it doesn't matter!
These two bits can mostly be used interchangeably based on your personal preference. They both can be used to prep the natural nail and cuticle area. You can use them both to smooth out (not take down bulk) the surface of acrylic or hard gel, but the arbor band tends to feel smoother/less vibration over the product. If you are trying to clean up or cut in your smile line, the diamond bit will work better than the arbor band.
Tracey I respect the fact that you are able to set boundaries with your clients!!!! Beautiful set of nails!!!!
thanks for the love!
Bruh! I kept saying to myself, “She is effing HAULING!” The whole time. 😆 The more of these that I watch, the more I realize that I’m overthinking like...every freaking step in the process...all of it.

Tracey you are legendary. Keep up the great content. I realise this is an older video but I am binge watching Young Nails . I am learning so much. I have been trying out new things and I couldn't do it without you x
Can you find a new client that has massive cuticles and show a real-life situation dealing with cuticle mountains before a full set ??!! 🤷🏻♀️🧐 thanks
haha unfortunately we are not a salon so we are doing the best we can with these scenarios.
💕💕💕 I’m just being facetious. Cuticle mountains 🏔 lol
Yes! I want to see that!!!
You'll have to schedule extra time. Maybe 10 minutes! All your customers who haven't been in a while or new ones to send you a photo of their hands prior to the appointment! You set the rules!
Ooouuu here's a question. When clients tell you what a coffin shape is🙄😂💕help😂
This is a great series! I swear it’s sped up my time. I’ve actually started challenging myself. I really need a hard gel set in this series. It takes me so much longer than my acrylic sets, and I need to know what I’m doing wrong!
That is awesome happy to hear you are enjoying it. Plan to get into some gel, one vid at a time ;)
Yas, hard gel please. Hard gel takes me two hours full set. The videos with Habib on doing hard gels did, helped me so much.
I'm not a nail tech and never likely to do acrylic nails but I love watching these videos!
happy you enjoy them
We ask and you provide... Again I love Real Time and I love how you care about your viewers. 💝💝💝😘😘😘😘😘 I have never seen a company this big reply to EVERY SINGLE comment. I mean Young Nails is TRULY PHENOMENAL!!! Gorgeous set Tracey!
Thank you for the love and support! That's who we are doing it for!
Tracey is my hero 💕 i want to be as good as she is🙌🏻
You go girl! Some people just have to try to put someone down. Your nails are so beautiful and that is why I love watching you do them!!!!
Yes Tracy and Stephanie, not forgetting Habib. I am in love with the Real Time series. ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

Love that idea we will look into something like this. Thanks for the feedback.
Yes this would be great video
beautiful! absolutely stunning!! Tracy is such an artist. I hope to be as good as her one day.
Tracy 🔥💖 "the nail just looked at me funny" 🤣 These are beautiful! YN Mylars are 🔥💎
haha! Thank you
Tracie is bomb! She has a great process that works... At first you’re like WTF and she’s left with a masterpiece... Great job and the nails are gorgeous.. I think my favorite set you’ve done so far ❤️
She sure is
Wooooow, 30mins to apply the entire set. Inspiring!💖👍
Omgosh girl... Those are absolutely BEAUTIFUL!!!
Thanks for doing this in real time
For sure! Enjoying it!
Such a good job. Tell she is a pro and been doing it for a long time. Her focus is amazing!
Very talented for sure
Lots of great advice here! I just finished creating my very first full set at home as it took me 7hrs! So I’ve been wondering to myself if that’s how long it really takes when you first start out.

Absolutely! It's hard to not tend to look up when talking. Timing yourself is good, not to rush just to be aware of how much time you need.
Tracy is my twin flame *nail tech* ... watching (& listening to her) always eases my mind, over my own OCD tendencies. ❤️her & her work !
Love the advice you give in your videos, very professional and very helpful. Love how straight forward you are.
thanks for watching

This encourages me to practice and keep practicing for years to achieve this kind of level😍😍

haha right?! such a great suggestion
How long do your sets take now and any tips to cut down on time ? ... I still take 4-6 hours and I’ve been doing nails for 2-3 years now 🙁😢 HELP!
Love Mufasa have you managed to get this down now? I’ve been doing nails for a couple months and it takes me 4 hours!
I love Tracey, Thanks for the real time program, it has helped me alot
May the Lord Almighty God Bless you abandantly
Happy to help! And thank you! ❤️💖
Loving it. Following the young lady you spoke with on the podcast. Love that you gave her some good advice.
❤️❤️
This was amazing to see. I think I definitely overthink every step. I would love to see a refill using colored acrylic to cover the previous design!!
more videos coming soon for sure.
A perfectionist. I loveeeee these. Every time I get paid I order something different from YN 🤦🏾♀️😂 think glitters and mylars are next
haha that's a great way to build your collection!
I think Tracy should try to beat Tammy Taylor record of a pink and white in less than 12 mins!!
hahaha
Haha! Tammy has like 40 years experience. Lol!
Tracy thank you for showing me that it can be done and one day I will be able to get it done. Nice manicure 🙂🤗
Thanks for the support! And yes you can, lots of practice
Where can we purchase the long towels/cloths that Tracy rolled up to clean up her station? Awesome video!
Yes!!! Does anyone have a link? I paint as well. These would be sooooo helpful.
Soft landings is the brand
YoungNailsInc thank you ♥️

"If your client wanted you to spend kore time with them, what would you do?"
"Hmm.... no." 😭😂
Thanks so much for the tips Tracy! Especially with regards to speed. Loving this series.
hahaha right!? Thanks for the love we are enjoying it
I think, like anything that is a learned skill, it is the practice which not only hones technique but also how fast you are able to do that thing. Cooking is another example and my previous career. My first wedding cakes took AGES and the more I practised the faster I became. We used styrofoam forms that were sealed so we could practice frosting on them. I think what made me so fast at nail extensions was having two practice hands. Not just a finger, but a full hands and running fill sets. It's not a 100% analogue for a human, but it is worth the investment if you are serious. The conversation is a little one-sided, however ;) At least they are not indecisive or in a hurry.
Haha! totally agree! Technique first speed second and that comes with repetition. The 2 trainer hands is a great suggestion.
Jenn W I started with wedding cakes too before I got into nails!
@@rachbeth86 don't you just want to do royal icing designs or a traditional basket weave or something the like sometimes and have no idea how in the hell you could? At least I do :)
Jenn W omg YES!! I've been thinking too how cool it would be to create a clear icing and "encapsulating" edible flowers and designs in cakes and bringing techniques used on nail work to cakes too. How cool would that be tho seriously?? Lol I don't do cakes near as much these days tho, basically just for my family now, but I always try to think outside the box for unique designs on nails for sure! I found snake skin under my deck a couple years ago and started using it in nail art and those nails always turn out bomb! I'm always so amazed with all the different unique things you can bring to the table with nails!
@@rachbeth86 could you just imagine how stunning a sugared violet would look? And imagine laying nasturtiums across all 5 nails so it patterns out? Like a nice bright orange and purple over a pale soft green?
Love these real time videos. Beautiful tracie 😍. So glad mentioning question topics asked during video also. always wondering were you got those towels. The ones i use move all over those stay in place for you.
Happy you are enjoying them, towels are soft landings
They are beautiful 💅
love this! i don't understand why someone would thumbs down this...smh
haha it happens, no hard feelings here!
Tracy you are not sloppy, you're creative and brilliant ✔
Thank you!
I would love to see one hand done in the gel with exactly the same look just to compare. I stopped acrylics years ago and am strictly doing the synergy gel

I noticed that you added clear acrylic to the glitter. correct?? Is that necessary or just what you do.I don't do that. But,I think I'll try it. I am a DIY and I do all of my friends and neighbors nails. But id love your input. I've noticed you are straight to the point and a go getter. I appreciate your information and videos, thank you for the education
When working with acrylic, you generally have to combine the glitter with the acrylic in some form. In this video, she is showing how to pre-mix the acrylic powder with the glitter. Here's a video to show another option to use your glitter with acrylic. th-cam.com/video/no0hOrehhOE/w-d-xo.html
If you are using hard gel or gel polish, there are other ways of incorporating the glitter into the gel.
Absolutely beautiful 😍
great video, I love real time vids tfs beautiful set! 💜💖💜💖💜👍👍
❤️❤️❤️❤️
Nice job Tracy I'm going to challenge myself I won't even tell you how long it takes me🤭🤭
I am very impress well done, encourages us to know it can be done : )
❤️💖
I love how Tracey talks about the process not needing to be pretty -that's definitely something I struggle with because a lot of techs on ig post these "acrylic laid before filing" pictures where they already look perfect and it's just not acheivable for me. But I agree with you, if the end result is great it doesn't matter!
Na, then end result needs to be pretty don't stress on the process
I didn’t know you could use the medium cross cut for prep ♥️
Another amazing job Tracy
❤️❤️
I love this series! My prep work takes too long
Hope it helps
When might you use a medium crosscut diamond bit over a medium grit arbor band?
These two bits can mostly be used interchangeably based on your personal preference. They both can be used to prep the natural nail and cuticle area. You can use them both to smooth out (not take down bulk) the surface of acrylic or hard gel, but the arbor band tends to feel smoother/less vibration over the product. If you are trying to clean up or cut in your smile line, the diamond bit will work better than the arbor band.
