I was going to buy a size 14 brush because I thought the size 12 brush wasn't doing good with the beads but after watching this video and trying the beads the way he did it, I'm sticking to my size 12 for now! Thank you for this video💗💗💗
Can you guys do a video walking us through what items are needed to begin as a nail technician, (in detail) will be interesting to give some guidance thank you
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you, for allowing us to see ALL your wonderful knowledge in this amazing craft. As a beginner to doing my own nails your videos have helped immensely. And has also released alot of anxiety of overthinking my abilities. Your Team Rocksss!!! Stay Safe, Stay Blessed Beloveds!!! And again Thank you!!🥰🥰🥰🤗
You heard it here folks...Greg says size doesn't matter lol. Good advice. It makes sense. I just wish I cud prevent the brush from fraying. I try not to use acetone but sometimes I need to help the acrylic out of my brush with a tool. I think this may aid in the fraying too. Ughhh it's so frustrating. Thanks for the advice.
Use monomer to clean your brush, l use monomer l don't like,yes acetone strips the coating that's on the hairs to stop the acrylic sticking so you are making things worse by using acetone, honestly try monomer that conditions your brush too.
Genius! Wish I had known this many beads earlier. Now I am getting each and every bead the perfect mixture with my size 8 brush. In the past my beads nearly always were too dry! Thanks a bunch! Edited to add: is there actually a difference between a brush that is rounded, flat or pointed at the tip when modelling the nail?
Thank you so much for confirming this. When I started doing nails I started with a very tiny brush,as I got better I was able to pick up a large bead with a small 6 . I thought I'd initially need a bigger brush and I ended up getting the 12 but I was able to get those larger beads and do full overlays on short nails with the 6.
Omg so happy I came across this video I’m just starting off and I’m self teaching this helped sooo much I always thought I needed a bigger brush to get the job done
Hello YN folks I just want to tell you how much you and your videos mean to me. There is not any advice or demonstration you have shown that has not made the world of difference in my career. I do not want to date myself, but I am coming up on 40 years!! I believe that when a true tech can watch your information with open mind, and they can even learn one thing, then they can strive to be the pro they set out to be!! I want to try your protein bond very much, it has made all the difference to the life of a set. So to Jeff, Tracy and all you wonderful people, who care enough to show us your talent, skill creativity and knowledge, please except my most sincere Thanks and by all means, please keep them coming!!! I appreciate you and your gift to us and God bless and stay safe!!!!!
I just tried young nails for the first time and I’m BLOWN AWAY. I just started nail school so I’ve been using the crappy stuff that comes with the kit... but today I finally tried the monomer, core pink powder, and the artistic sculptor brush. Wow it was so much easier to work with. I feel like a bigger brush would be easier to work with though, so I just ordered Greg’s brush.
I have a 22 that I have had since I started doin nails at the mall years ago and Im so used to it I get scared to use a smaller brush. I also have a 12 and 8 on days im feelin brave.
OMG you guys always have the right videos when I need them. I was always so curious as to which size is best and how in the world some techs use a size 14-16 brush lol
I have been a nail tech for over 20 years and recently met a girl fresh out of nail school. She has been taught to do the large bead but I personally feel it would be better to do smaller ones till she gets the right consistency as she is struggling with this. What is your thoughts on this?
Thank you so much for that info. Was about to change my brush. Will change it for different reason. I use to do nails back home. Since I migrated to New York I stop doing nails. Just started back but I’m moving very slow. What would you suggest I do?
Wow thank you for your video. I have a small brush and I take out a lot of of the Monomer off my brush thinking I had to much on my brush I learned something thank you 😊
Yes it does matter if you want to pick up the right bead you would rather have 8 than a bigger size putting the bead will be easier especially if your just starting out to get used to it then it doesn't matter really what size the brush is it's only till you get the hang of doing nails
My artistic sculpt is my fav brush of all time. I bought 2 pro kits just to get them cause I was told they were discontinued then found out it’s supposed to be the sculptor. When I got the sculptor it was really frayed. I tried to train it with monomer but I’ve never been able to use it. It’s been like a year and I never contacted customer service etc. but what I want is a brush like the one in the pro kits with long, stiff bristles. 8, 9, 12, doesn’t matter the size, I just want the bristles to be long and stiff instead of wide and bushy without buying another whole pro kit. I giveaway the items in the kit besides the brush etc. can you help advise me what to do? Also is Greg’s signature the same as the pro kit ones but larger? Are the bristles long and firm? Help!! Lol! I’ve spent hundreds of $$ on other name brand brushes and they aren’t IT.
@@youngnailsinc thank you so much for the prompt response! I’ve watched this video already in my search and it’s not the info I’m seeking. 🤗 The sequence of events is this. I bought a core pro kit few years ago. Taught myself to do nails with that brush it included. It’s still in pristine condition. Nothing else compares. It’s my favorite so I want more/spares. Ive tried larger brushes from other brands. Nothing, nothing was the same as the one I got in my core kit. I can get as large a bead as I want with that brush so I decided why go larger? So I wanted to buy another of the same brush from you guys. My kit brush had no markings on it besides YN on the wood handle so I checked the website and bought the “artistic sculptor” as it looked the closest. As soon as I got it I realized that wasn’t it. Plus it was frayed looking and shaped very differently. So I emailed you guys to ask the name of the brush that came in your pro kits so I could buy one separately. Answer was twofold. They aren’t sold any other way, only available in kits and also “discontinued” anyway. So since I couldn’t get another one, I went back to the website and chose the “pro acrylic sculptor”. Same thing happened. It came badly frayed. And training didn’t solve it. Leaves lines in the acrylic cause the bristles are varied in length on the end and sticking out even with twirling on table towel, soaking, all the ways I treat and love my other brush. Training to a point or trying to flatten also didn’t work. I didn’t reach out or complain (and I am not complaining now) I just kept using my favorite brush and keeping it perfect. So the next time you guys had a flash sale on your pro kits I pulled the trigger and ordered a pro speed instead of core hoping for THE BRUSH, lol! My reasoning was most beginners chose the core like I did so the probability of me getting that brush in a kit would be better if I bought the speed, thinking even if it’s discontinued I could reasonably hope I would get a kit that still had that brush in it before it had been discontinued. Regardless your products are bomb so can’t lose with a kit. So I got that kit and sure enough my FAV brush was in there! But it was frayed too. And it came with a loose ferrule. Not nearly as bad as the two sculptors but still not useable unless I trim those 4 or 5 frayed hairs off which you’re not supposed to do and keep tightening the metal *I can send pics if y’all want to see what I mean. So now I’m considering getting Greg’s signature brush as it looks as if the bristles are also long and firm. Not like a Kiara Sky, for example, that is fat and wide at ferrule and has too much give at tip even tho it’s great quality. If you’re experienced you know exactly what I mean I’m sure. So really what I’m searching to learn is 3 things: 1. Without buying the kit can I get that brush same or larger? Because none of the ones on website are the same. They simply aren’t. 2. Does Greg’s signature brush have long, firm bristles like the kit one, just more bristles making it larger or is it wider at ferrule? 3. If I buy Greg’s or another kit to get the golden brush I want and it isn’t the same I will give up and continue to treasure and baby mine, but will I be able to return either and get money back? Quick disclaimer here. I am not dissatisfied in any way. I’m not complaining. Just explaining the situation and trying to get the brushes I want. This is in no way meant to be annoying or bash y’all at all. I love Young Nails. I’m a loyal customer even if I buy on Amazon mostly. Hats off to all of you and your pioneering work. 💜 Let me know if I should email some pics or how to proceed. The reason I didn’t email instead of messaging here is because when I did email what I got was basically a “no” you can’t get one and I felt misinformed since the brush wasn’t discontinued and was supposed to be the sculptor which is available but actually not the same brush. So I didn’t want to go that route again. I understand this is a lot and y’all are busy but I appreciate ANY help or advice or guidance on how to get that magical brush. I would just flat out buy 5 probably to avoid ever worrying again lol! I’ve even been messaging other TH-cam nail techs who are buying and reviewing the pro kits asking to buy their brushes if they don’t want them. Lol! I would like to send pics of how my brushes came and get advice what to do about them. Maybe there is a fix idk about. Ty Ty Ty! Jen
@@getnails_byjen2726 If you bought the pro kits a few years ago then the brush that was in them was the artistic sculptor which is sold by itself now. The current brush in the kits is not the same as that anymore and is not sold by itself. Greg's brush would be more similar to the artistic sculptor than the brush that is currently in the kits. You can definitely contact our customer service team to return items the kits if you no longer want them or Greg's brush.
Video is right on time. I was literally about to purchase new brush! I'm using 8 now, I'm just a few months in! Was wondering if bigger would make a difference. Also thinking oval shape is better. Thanks for the education!!!
I feel like maybe I pick up too much monomer, but when I do that method of only tapping once and bouncing on the powder, sometimes the bead will fall off the brush onto the powder. Any help?
Does size matter? OF COURSE it does! 😉 It's tough to watch him sometimes. I can't help but laugh a lil bit. He reminds me of Mr.Mackey. "This is how you dooooo a smiiiiiile line. Mmmmm, KAY". 😆🤣
Hi, I recently started working at a new salon and have been doing nails for 14 years. I've always used a size 20 or 24 brush and have had no issues, but my boss is telling me that I am not allowed to use my brush and need a smaller brush only because he feels that my work would be messy(Which it never has) due to having a bigger brush they have only moved me to doing pedicures. My questions are does my brush size really matter, and should I change the size if I am not comfortable with using a smaller brush? What are the pros and cons of using a bigger or smaller brush?
That's definitely a challenge! If you are comfortable with the larger brush and do good/clean work with it, there shouldn't be any reason for you to have to use a smaller brush. Even with a larger brush, you can control how much product you pick up with the amount of liquid you leave in your brush. With that said, a 20-24 is a pretty large brush and one downside to it may be that you are using more product/monomer than necessary in your application or if you are getting the monomer on the client's skin, this can be unsafe and cause skin reactions. You may want to have a conversation with your boss to see exactly why they want you to use a smaller brush and if you can show them you can work safely with the larger brush, they may allow it.
I ordered the artistic sculpture a few weeks ago but just haven’t used it yet because I found a larger brush I don’t even know the size in my salon and I made myself use it I use to be scared to! But I still think I’m using to much liquid.
No. You only add a few drops of acetone if you are doing 3D acrylic work, like 3D flowers. Also be careful because adding acetone to monomer can affect the performance of the system
To some extent size does matter, there is only so much liquid a smaller brush can hold as compare to a bigger brush, a small brush however can pick up a large bead as the amount of liquid it can fully hold will allow it to. So in conclusion a large brush will definitely pick up a larger bead over one that is smaller even if the smaller brush is filled to capacity with liquid, the larger brush capacity obviously will be higher, however not that a smaller brush cant pick up a large bead. So to agree and disagree with young nails, the amount of liquid that the brush can pick up matters a great deal in agreement, but to disagree where the size of the brush determines the amount of liquid that it can hold being as I mentioned a bigger brush would automatically hold larger amounts of liquid compared to a smaller brush. So I would say you can still experiment with different sizes as that's the reason there are different sizes in the first place if one size really does all then there would definitely be no need for various brush sizing. But if you know how to work with what you have already and try to work with it's capacity and it allows you to pick up a big enough bead as it allows then that's perfect also.
Great video ! Are the size 8 and your signature series brush made with the same hairs ? I live In Australian and am a nail tech , the price of the two brush are very different and would love to get yours Greg but wow it’s really expensive just wondering why such a difference in Price ? It can’t be just the size ??? I usually use ezyflow oval 8 . Stay safe and again keep the great content going 🌺🐨
Depends but definitely don't go smaller than a number 9 even though we suggest the brush that works best for you! www.youngnails.com/yni-artistic-sculptor/
@@youngnailsinc thanks a million I appreciate your help. I always learn so much with your lessons. In the beginning I was a bit iffie but the more I wach the more I am bowled over by the way you explain stuff so that even I can understand. 💕
I love these guys!! Haha especially Greg!! Haha he can explain stuff so well!! He be like: Don’t! I repeat Don’t doooo this! Once again Don’t!! That’s a no no!! Hahaha!!
Imma start learning how to do my own, like I haven’t even gave it a shot yet and idk what brand or website to buy brushes from that are a good quality. I heard Kolinsky brushes are best?
Our website only ships to the continental US. We will link our list of distributors so you can see who sells our products near you. If you don’t see a distributor in your country, simply zoom out on the map until the closest one pops up and get in contact to see if they ship to your location. www.youngnails.com/pages/locate-distributor
I have a size 10 brush. I have followed all your videos and I listen to Greg say over in my head.. "its about the amount of liquid " Thank you for drilling me via TH-cam only. 🧡🧡🧡💜💜💜💜
Powder does make a difference. Some brands create a greater thermal reaction then ours. We offer 2 different types of powders (speed and core) that set differently check this video out that explains it: th-cam.com/video/0lw0PC4jppU/w-d-xo.html
I was thinking that maybe I need to use different size acrylic brushes specifically for the size of a person's nail plate simply to make sure I don't come in contact with the skin
You can, but it's about the size of the pearl you pick up. You can use Greg's signature brush and just pick up a very small pearl if someone has a small nail plate.
We've visited before! Last year we were there, but right now due to circumstances, not sure when the next time we'll go will be. But we Love visiting the UK!
@@youngnailsinc oh yes I totally understand with the current situation. I hope it soon we can see you here. How will we know? Best place to keep getting updates?
It's a tough decision. Maybe start with our artistic sculptor, and get the hang of controlling the amount of liquid on the brush (we include those in our kits), and if you feel you can do more/better with bigger brush move onto the signature!
Was practicing on acrylic now and it wasnt easy and i was thinking if i change my brush would be easier.... and you upload this video. Thank you
Just in time!! Glad we can help! ❤️
Thank you for the information. I have a hard time using smaller brushes.
You are so welcome! Definitely use the brush that feels right to you and lets you control the liquid and application
I’m a #8 gal I don’t like a brush bigger then the nail seems sloppy to me monomer on the skin not good smaller brush does the job❤️
#8 is a very popular size!
I was going to buy a size 14 brush because I thought the size 12 brush wasn't doing good with the beads but after watching this video and trying the beads the way he did it, I'm sticking to my size 12 for now! Thank you for this video💗💗💗

Shae Heard I can’t work with 8/10 at all lol size 16 daily
Vanny L lol I will get there eventually! They can seem so intimidating lol, do you find it easier for you to have more control with that size?
Shae Heard for me it’s like finishing faster with a size 16 and cuticle always clean while applying
Vanny L thank you! I will have to get it a try!
Love how informative and helpful this channel is! Awesome content as always!
Thanks so much!
ok ok ok i give in....its NOT the size but what you do with it :D

Yes it does matter if you want to pick up the right bead you would rather have 8 than a bigger size putting the bead will be easier especially if your just starting out to get used to it then it doesn't matter really what size the brush is it's only till you get the hang of doing nails
100%
The brush you include with your kit is absolutely perfect. Bonus
Oh thank you!
Thank You so much, this really helped me out!
AMEN!
Thank u so much for taking your time out and teaching us🥰
It's our pleasure
I started with an 8. I love the 12. It's all I use now
Good tips.do you have a video on 2 bead method?and also how to work with your monomer when your doing it in your garage and its 92 outside.
This makes so much sense, thank you
I'm so struggling on which brush to get, I'm thinking Greg's Signature brush it'll b my anniversary present
I use my Greg signature brush and that one works for me.. I used a bigger one prior and that one didn't wk for me.. so thank you GREG THE KING🤗❤

😂
What do you guys think of polygel
Omg thank you so much for this! I have a size 8 brush. Very helpful info 👍
You are so welcome!
Just find your Channel and find it very interesting. Learn a few things. Thank you so much. Want to purchase so stuffs to. How can I do that?
Hi, I recently started working at a new salon and have been doing nails for 14 years. I've always used a size 20 or 24 brush and have had no issues, but my boss is telling me that I am not allowed to use my brush and need a smaller brush only because he feels that my work would be messy(Which it never has) due to having a bigger brush they have only moved me to doing pedicures. My questions are does my brush size really matter, and should I change the size if I am not comfortable with using a smaller brush? What are the pros and cons of using a bigger or smaller brush?
That's definitely a challenge! If you are comfortable with the larger brush and do good/clean work with it, there shouldn't be any reason for you to have to use a smaller brush. Even with a larger brush, you can control how much product you pick up with the amount of liquid you leave in your brush. With that said, a 20-24 is a pretty large brush and one downside to it may be that you are using more product/monomer than necessary in your application or if you are getting the monomer on the client's skin, this can be unsafe and cause skin reactions.
You may want to have a conversation with your boss to see exactly why they want you to use a smaller brush and if you can show them you can work safely with the larger brush, they may allow it.
Thanks so much for share
I ordered the artistic sculpture a few weeks ago but just haven’t used it yet because I found a larger brush I don’t even know the size in my salon and I made myself use it I use to be scared to! But I still think I’m using to much liquid.
Remember the amount of liquid in the brush matters a lot more than the size for control! You can control that amount!
What colour of pink is this? 😍
It is our Cover Pink Acrylic.

what liquid and powder did you use?
so nice! I wish I can do like that!
I’m new to your terrific videos. Have you done one on how to clean your brushes?
Welcome to YN!! Yes we do! Check this video out how to clean brushes th-cam.com/video/512sErsp7bo/w-d-xo.html
Thank you!!
What shade of acrylic is that?? I need it😃
THANK YOU 🙏
Do we have to pinch the brush ? Or is this optional?
Not really related to the content but do you add drops of acetone to the monomer for regular acrylic application as well?
No. You only add a few drops of acetone if you are doing 3D acrylic work, like 3D flowers. Also be careful because adding acetone to monomer can affect the performance of the system
@@youngnailsinc appreciate the response thank you
You’re such a great teacher!
Wow, thank you!
Have learned much ❤
To some extent size does matter, there is only so much liquid a smaller brush can hold as compare to a bigger brush, a small brush however can pick up a large bead as the amount of liquid it can fully hold will allow it to. So in conclusion a large brush will definitely pick up a larger bead over one that is smaller even if the smaller brush is filled to capacity with liquid, the larger brush capacity obviously will be higher, however not that a smaller brush cant pick up a large bead. So to agree and disagree with young nails, the amount of liquid that the brush can pick up matters a great deal in agreement, but to disagree where the size of the brush determines the amount of liquid that it can hold being as I mentioned a bigger brush would automatically hold larger amounts of liquid compared to a smaller brush. So I would say you can still experiment with different sizes as that's the reason there are different sizes in the first place if one size really does all then there would definitely be no need for various brush sizing. But if you know how to work with what you have already and try to work with it's capacity and it allows you to pick up a big enough bead as it allows then that's perfect also.
Definitely 💯

Great video ! Are the size 8 and your signature series brush made with the same hairs ? I live In Australian and am a nail tech , the price of the two brush are very different and would love to get yours Greg but wow it’s really expensive just wondering why such a difference in Price ? It can’t be just the size ??? I usually use ezyflow oval 8 . Stay safe and again keep the great content going 🌺🐨
They both have the same hairs, we do carry #9 and the signature brush that is a #12!
Thanks a million I have never done acrylic and want to start. What brush size would you recommend I get. I am only doing my own nails.
Depends but definitely don't go smaller than a number 9 even though we suggest the brush that works best for you! www.youngnails.com/yni-artistic-sculptor/
Most start with a size 8 at the beginning.

We're here for you! Haha keep reminder you what to focus on!! Our pleasure!

Does the powder make a difference?
Good question
Powder does make a difference. Some brands create a greater thermal reaction then ours. We offer 2 different types of powders (speed and core) that set differently check this video out that explains it: th-cam.com/video/0lw0PC4jppU/w-d-xo.html
Super helpful!💅
I'm so glad! Thank you for watching ❤️❤️
I was thinking that maybe I need to use different size acrylic brushes specifically for the size of a person's nail plate simply to make sure I don't come in contact with the skin
You can, but it's about the size of the pearl you pick up. You can use Greg's signature brush and just pick up a very small pearl if someone has a small nail plate.
@@youngnailsinc ahh, then the root of my issue would be monomer to polymer ratio and application. Thank you!
Here is a great video for you: th-cam.com/video/EUyOErNCZbc/w-d-xo.html
O en los subtítulos que esté la traducción al español por favor y muchas gracias
Where can I get the same brush you’re using?
All of our brushes are available on our website.
Does Greg ever teach in the UK? It would be a dream!
We've visited before! Last year we were there, but right now due to circumstances, not sure when the next time we'll go will be. But we Love visiting the UK!
@@youngnailsinc oh yes I totally understand with the current situation. I hope it soon we can see you here. How will we know? Best place to keep getting updates?
I still don’t know whether to get the artistic sculptor or Greg’s signature brush lol
It's a tough decision. Maybe start with our artistic sculptor, and get the hang of controlling the amount of liquid on the brush (we include those in our kits), and if you feel you can do more/better with bigger brush move onto the signature!
I have Greg’s Brush is my favorite
