I’ve never seen them practice on someone with horrible nails. Like clients who have high cuticle growth :( it’d be extremely helpful if they can do a full acrylic set on someone with terrible cuticles and do it on real time. I’d like to see how they manage their time with someone who has terrible cuticle growth.
I'd like to see that too, my cuticles, sidewalls, and hangnails are constantly a mess (mostly due to my job, but a lot os also genetic) - I'd like to see a real time as well, on how to tackle it
Nailcou channel she has 1 client who is a chef and her natural nails are a disaster (bitten, extreme cuticles/protein growth, deep sidewalls) plus she comes in about 6 weeks so they’re overgrown. The transformations are incredible‼️ I have poor thin nails with rapid protein growth and crazy deep sidewalls so I spend almost more time prepping than doing my nails. This video was helpful with the order of steps and tips like brushing toward you, applying prep mid to end not cuticle to end but Nailcou is where I learned prepping the cuticle/sidewall areas best. Best of luck everyone….you got this 😎👊🏻
@@CrimeSpies love nailcou. She has so many bitten nail videos plus Anna's. They're very informative! Not to mention she's super sweet and replies to almost every comment and/or question. ❤️
My clients get mad at me because my nails don’t come off!! Prep is everything!! Also primer is everything!! Don’t get me wrong I do have an occasional pop off, lol but we all do !! That’s what makes Melissa’s guidance so imperative!! Love you 😍 💯😍💅🏾I never miss a lesson from young nails! You are everything your team is doing must have information must have reminders ! I learn something EVERYDAY FROM YOUNG NAILS I hope to be an ambassador for young nails one day!! It’s one of my hopes in life!! I’ll make to there side of town one day!! My bucket list!!! 💯💯💯💯❤️❤️❤️❤️💅🏾💅🏾💅🏾💅🏾 #YOUNGNAILSISLIFE💯🥰
“Swipe” to dehydrate the nail and remove dust, then a sparing coat of “Protein Bond”, it’s the best acid-free primer! I never miss a lesson from Young Nails, either!
My clients nails are lifting I’m always having this problem I thought I was prepping very good but I guess I’m not I’m gonna try my best to do the way you do it to see if it stops thank you so much
After watching numerous videos YN instructors have done I can't believe the shortcuts, skipped steps and just plain harmful things "professionals" have subjected my nails to. Big factor in me deciding to get serious about learning to do them myself. Glad I found YN's channel and have learned what's right and what's not. The tutorials have been excellent and I love the products I've tried. Definitely plan on buying more from them.
Melissa, Great video, you explain things so well. Thought I would add to the pocket lifting problem. I found many client get it when a nail should have broke but didn't. So you go to open the car door in the middle of winter, you pull the handle expecting the door to open, and it's frozen shut. It feels like you just ripped your entire nail out of your finger.... You look down with teared eyes to find the nail is actually still there, amazed you kick your car and use words only heard in the toughest prisons, and then go along with your day. A few days later you notice a pocket of air in your nail....Many do not make the connection that the car is to blame. That air pocket is where your finger and nail took all of the pressure and force from the door. Also, it doesn't only happen with cars...I have done it to myself cleaning the stupid house - wiping the kitchen counter and I jab my finger straight into the wall. This causes the same reaction : Swearing and tears... and the same air pocket under your nail...:(
my trouble is i do all these steps but i can't ever make it to see if my nails are gonna lift. i know my struggles with full cover nails, usually air bubbles but with nail extensions or tips i can never get them to stay on they pop off and i made sure they were stuck well and rock them up but when i go to cut them down or file the shape before applying gel, acrylic, polygel or whatever i tend to use they end up popping off and i don't understand why. anyone have any ideas? i know i should use forms instead but figured i should learn tips to while i'm at it so that's why i keep trying with tips
They are popping off right after gluing? Before you get the product ontop? Is that right? So, you say your doing all the steps? You've prepped your own nails, filed every spot (lightly), dehydrated them, primer or protein bond. Yes? You etched the underside of the tip? Etching with a file, not using primer? Yes? And these tips are sized to your actual size, not what you want them to be (smaller) to small will pop off. They just can't handle, the stretch. If all of that is a yes, then what are you using for glue? Is it professional nail glue? Or from the dollar store? Keep in mind, there isn't a one for all, for everyone. What works for you and your body chemistry, doesn't work for your neighbors. Try another brand... and read the ingredients, so you don't buy the same item, in a different label. Oh, and I forgot to ask, - You don't do silly things like, wash your hands after prepping them or stick them in your mouth - right.?? (You'd be surprised...) touch them with your fingers, getting oils on them? Where are the tips from,? Made of? Is it 100% ABS Plastic? I mean if everything is as it should be, then I'm a little stumped... and now, this will now keep me up late pondering... There is an odd percentage of the population that just cannot have nails due to their body chemistry, but its low.. like 0.01 percent... (I made up those numbers :)) How do you do in acrylic? Gel, etc? If you can wear the other products, then I dont think your of the 0.01 %, something is going on, and we just don't know what it is... Which is why I'll be up pondering... lol
This was an EXCELLENT video! I CANNOT find a nail clinician any where in my area that takes such pride and care when doing nails! Literally, I have tried every nail shop in a 3 town area around me. None use the products you recommend and do all the things you said not to do. I guess I am going to start doing my own nails at home and take your advice. Thank you!!!

I’m so glad they made this video all nail salons literally were chop shops even with five stars. My nails literally fell off the next day. I found a nail tech that comes in my house and she pretty much does everything they said and they never fall off
One reason my nails were lifting off was because i was not pressing the acrylic into my nail bed and making a seal around the cuticle area. I'm still not sure I'm doing it correctly but I've got them to stop lifting. I would love to see a video addressing this issue so i can get some in-depth info. :D ♥♥♥
I know this is an old comment but I think you literally saved me. I've been following literally every little step and my nails were still lifting. I tried really pushing it down the last time i did it and it looks like they are finally staying on. Thank you so much for saying this!
So glad you mentioned the pooling up of the protein bond at the cuticle. When I got my 1st YN purchase I was so excited to get into it, then the next day I realized I had some lifting on 1 finger & I didn’t understand why, so when I went to fix it I paid close attention & that’s when I saw the small pool of protein bond at my cuticle & I thought 🤔 maybe that’s why, used my lint free wipe to absorb the excess & finished my nail. It’s been a month & the nails haven’t budged since.
@@krystalfukinmarie757 hi Krystal, thanks for sharing. So just to confirm you think Melissa’a tip on how to apply the protein bond can/should he used for a primer for dip powders? So midway down first, then lightly closer to cuticle. Thanks again!
Ughhh I love having her on the videos! She always teaches me something. 💜 its those little details that tells you shes been in the business and knows all her material... even the little things
Love this advice ❤ I'm just starting out and I had lifting on my daughters nails. I thought I was doing everything right with prep but I NEVER thought about her scratching or touching her arm or face.
I’m always so distracted by looking at her own beautiful nails😂 She is so pretty, hair, glasses, skin👌🏼 So funny, did not know YN sells rose oil, i use Rosehip oil on my skin and Argan and Squalan oil on my curls and always use the residu on my nails 2 times a day. And before i go to bed i use citicle oil mix with Biotine over and under the nails. I hate dry hands, dry citicles, dry skin and hair so i am obsessed 😂 Even though i never have lifting anymore i find this super helpfull! Thank you again😘
This video blew my mind. Real time salon tips that will definitely make me work smarter. I also thought I was doing prep correctly already. Thank you, I feel so much more confident heading back to work. Love Melissa's passion for teaching.
I’m so thankful for these tips bc I bought so many young nails products I remember way back I used to buy those nail kits from Walmart I’m now going to play with big girl stuff haha. I can’t wait to try these tips thank you so much!!
You guys knock it out of the park every time! Thank you for such great content! I have been a nail tech since 1996 and I still learn from your videos! 💅😍💕🙏
I have a genetic condition that makes my skin extremely thin and delicate, which also affects my nail beds. My nails are extremely thin and bend like paper just by pressing on them a bit. I’ve never been able to have gel nails last more than a few hours, and didn’t realize that maybe it was my soft nails that always caused them to pop off. I will try giving a second coat of primer, and see if they last longer. Thanks! ❤
First, I love your glasses. Second all tips are helpful. I love the protein bond, it's awesome.i have learned VERY helpful tips from the YN channel. I love all your content.
Thank you SO much for this video! I've researched how to fix lifting for months now and you've made me aware of things all my other sources didn't. Wasn't using a manicure brush before like I should have been, ordered one for the next time I have to fix a nail or do a new set. I've also been using rubbing alcohol as my swipe but I ordered nail cleanser and nail wipes. I'm pretty sure after watching this, it made me realize I was using way too much nail prep before laying down my base gel. I do my own dip nails at home so great tutorials like yours have helped me get to where I am now. I am elated and very excited to prep just like you on my next manicure 🙂
I'm so lucky I found your products and your instructional videos first, now that I've started doing my own acrylic nails. I'll never need to look anywhere else. You guys ROCK!!
Amazing tips as always! Thank you Mel!! So appreciated and there are soo many factors that could cause lifting. For me my long nail extension keeps popping off no matter what I do on one of my nails because my natural nail is too thin so I might have to go with a shorter nail on that finger. I think nails are only as good as they last
I was wondered why one would pop off and you nailed it. I have one lady touches every thing around her, I find fuzz from her sweater or she hits her nails going into the lamp. Yikes!! But not only that, I do apply my dehydrator to the cuticle first. That's a great point. I will pay more attention to that and see how it goes! Thank you again Melissa I really enjoy listening and learning from you!
thanks so much for explaining the difference of swipe, acetone and alcohol! i was questioning why i should spend money on something if it might do the same thing as alcohol or acetone. thanks for clearing it up!
This is so much of a help. I do my own nails and this is perfect information. Thank you so much for sharing all the information you know about nails and problems. You all are so great. Love you all.
thank you so much for explaining what swipe is and why its different!! i learned so much in this video especially when it came to the debris and the contents of swipe vs acetone !! you guys are helping so many people and videos like this are so helpful, this video is a godsend.
Thank you Melissa I notice a couple of things I am doing wrong. Tbh I don't use the rose oil because I'm one of those people who is afraid but now no more. Thank you!!! I needed this video.
Thank you so much for this video. I have flimsy nails, because of anemia, there so weak. I must have acrylic or gel nails. I never have problems because I do my own nails. But, good to remember. X
Swipe really is what you need for dehydrating. Using regular alcohol is fine but i can see a difference when i use swipe my nail and even my surrounding skin are chalky and really dehydrated ready for application.
Hi. I've watched several of your videos but I have never used the system and I've never commented before. I enhance my nails because I play finger style on steel string guitar. I've tried many different ways of doing it: fiberglass mesh and nail glue wraps like James Taylor; acrylic tips with nail glue & dip powder, nail glue and dip powder without the tips, and some combinations thereof (like fiberglass wraps with an acrylic dip finish). Because I am using them as a tool and not as decoration they tend to want to pop off. They've popped off enough different times that my nail itself is like a sheet of paper. If I am without an enhancement they would tear right off. I'm trying to get to the point where I'm not destroying the natural nail and they can grow back in strong and full thickness. Because I play everyday I can't give myself weeks without some sort of enhancement, as is so often suggested. I've never used the YN system so I think I might need to look into it, though it's very expensive, but if it would work I don't care. I also think I've been making them too thick and apparently that's also an issue for popping off. I don't particularly care what they look like as much as I care that they don't come off! I don't paint them I just play the guitar. Any suggestions would be awesome! I've been doing this for years and still haven't come up with a system that works consistently for one or two weeks (and also doesn't destroy my nails). I know there's also plenty of people that do this b/c they play guitar, and there's a lot of information out there from guitarists, but they are not nail experts. Maybe you could specifically address in a video what to do if you're a guitarist and how to enhance your nails that way, using the YN system. I know many classical guitarists (which I am not) tend towards gel enhancements but I don't like the sound on the steel strings. I'd rather the fiberglass system or the acrylic dip or a fusion of the two. Plus since the thumb is at an odd angle while playing, I like to extend the nail so it's a little bit further towards the outside of my hand than it could naturally grow. Makes a big difference, and I tend to use some fiberglass mesh to help bridge that and create a little more ability to act in tension (like the reinforcing mesh in concrete towards the bottom keeps it from cracking because it gives it some tensile strength. I've been in the field of architecture for a long time so I know some of this stuff 😅). Also because of the nail hitting the string, the outside of my thumb and the thumb-side of my index finger and started to pull from the nail bed. I know the only way to reattach this is to remove that part of the nail and let it regrow in but I don't think that's happening because I don't have time for that. Any suggestions that would help the guitarists that need enhancements to get the volume and dynamics that we need would be awesome! Thanks!
We would recommend looking into our fiber gel product or if you are wanting to use tips, we would use acrylic over them instead if a dip powder with resin. Here are some videos for you: th-cam.com/video/jJQFanR7RPo/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/5uk4BRnmF0c/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/aMbRah86HMA/w-d-xo.html
Honestly Melissa ! You have helped my nail game sooooo much. The top coat video was so useful and I am so excited for my Chrome's not to chip! The ultimate finish top is AMAZING for Chrome! You can chrome it no matter how long it was cured. I was using a top coat where you had to time the curing process or it would NOT WORK!!
What came to mind is to give each client also the instructions of staying away from excessive moisture the first day after the set. Or use gloves when shampooing hair and or dishes.
I have alot of clients that come in with short bitten nails.. I would love to see how you guys go about putting a full set on those kind of nails. And if acrylic or gel would be best.
I'm Soo dum , I thought you meant the nails popping off of ur practice hand!! Mabey u could do something on that subject lol thanks for the info so happy u do these videos 😀
Great video, thank you! Best tip for me was seasoning the arbor band straight on versus at an angle. I was totally doing it at an angle. Wonder how my clients nails are doing...? Lol!
Now all our vans fans are created equal. Ours are always a nice quality and you don’t have to season so much. There are some out there that look like they have rocks on them LOL those really need to be seasoned and be careful if you ever use one.
@@mjaydelacruz8496 thanks for the reply, because now that I think of it I do have some nice ones from Amy's master works and probably don't really need it.
I could learn from Melissa all day!! Great teacher!! Thank you young nails for the beautiful help!!!! Can you do A video with angle paper that's NOT aurora nails??
Love anything with Melissa on it! This was really helpful and the instructions were clearly presented and well thought out. Thanks Melissa and YN. After a lot of nail trouble last year (from another brand) I'm trying again with a nude set of your cover pink acrylic. Ok so far! Fingers crossed I get no nail separation.
Thank you so much. However I do tend to use alcohol and then I use it to hydrator and then I use the bond so I do have nail cleanser proper nail cleanser so I will use that from now on thank you for the info
I've been doing my own nails since I was 12 in high school I was a cos student and now I am almost 30 years old and this is still the issue I have with nails LOL they last me 2 to 3 weeks a couple of my nails will last a month but never longer than that
I am loving this tutorial! I have one client that loves her crazy long nails and the not your everyday nail art to go along with it. She is always coming back with at least one nail that's popped off. I already do most of the steps but you've gone into such detail that I'll be sure to follow. I know a lot of it is probably her job. (She's a cashier at Fry's and well known because of her nails) But all her keying and catching them in the small carry baskets doesn't help I'm sure. lol
I’ve never seen them practice on someone with horrible nails. Like clients who have high cuticle growth :( it’d be extremely helpful if they can do a full acrylic set on someone with terrible cuticles and do it on real time.

Cuticles are my favorite part😍 So satisfying to clean them up and it gives such a beautiful result to the enhancements.
Thats true, they only show perfect nails

I've also been using rubbing alcohol as my swipe but I ordered nail cleanser and nail wipes. I'm pretty sure after watching this, it made me realize I was using way too much nail prep before laying down my base gel. I do my own dip nails at home so great tutorials like yours have helped me get to where I am now. I am elated and very excited to prep just like you on my next manicure 🙂
I'm so lucky I found your products and your instructional videos first, now that I've started doing my own acrylic nails. I'll never need to look anywhere else. You guys ROCK!!
That’s so awesome!! 🙌🏼😉💅🏻💖✨
Amazing tips as always! Thank you Mel!! So appreciated and there are soo many factors that could cause lifting. For me my long nail extension keeps popping off no matter what I do on one of my nails because my natural nail is too thin so I might have to go with a shorter nail on that finger.
I think nails are only as good as they last
😉😊💅🏻✨💖🙌🏼
Awesome Golden Nugget Video!!! This was GREAT!!! Thank you so much 🌹🌹❤️
🌟✨💫💅🏻💖✨
I was wondered why one would pop off and you nailed it. I have one lady touches every thing around her, I find fuzz from her sweater or she hits her nails going into the lamp. Yikes!! But not only that, I do apply my dehydrator to the cuticle first. That's a great point. I will pay more attention to that and see how it goes! Thank you again Melissa I really enjoy listening and learning from you!
Thank you Karen! & you are so welcome!! 🙌🏼😉😊💅🏻✨💖
I didn't think to put the oil underneath the nail!! I don't ever have lifting but that's a great tip! Thank you!
Your welcome!! 🙌🏼💅🏻💖✨
Omggg I've been doing my course 6 weeks now this is so helpful thank you 😊
Your so welcome!! 🙌🏼😉😊💖💅🏻✨

Thank you Melissa I notice a couple of things I am doing wrong. Tbh I don't use the rose oil because I'm one of those people who is afraid but now no more. Thank you!!! I needed this video.
I’m enjoying how you teach. I can watch you all day. In fact I have lol.
Thanks for watching!
Divine timing !! Thank you
🙌🏼😉😊💅🏻💖✨🙏🏻
Thank you so much for this video. I have flimsy nails, because of anemia, there so weak. I must have acrylic or gel nails. I never have problems because I do my own nails. But, good to remember. X
Thank you for such a great detailed video because I always have a nail or 2 lifting or pop off anything I do my nails always never fails lol

Melissa thank you for this video! You guys are the best!!😻💅💕
Love Young Nails!! We work hard to bring it to you all!! 💖🤩💅🏻✨🙌🏼😉😊
Thank you so much for every single tip. It has saved me. Tomorrow is Monday and I’m ready to correct my mistakes
I literally started watching and learning about young nails 2 weeks ago so I’m catching up on all these videos 😩❤️
Awwwe you definitely gave it the right name. It's a feel-good set. Love the energy you're bringing ♥️♥️♥️
Thank you!🙏🏻🤍💅🏻✨🤩
Swipe really is what you need for dehydrating. Using regular alcohol is fine but i can see a difference when i use swipe my nail and even my surrounding skin are chalky and really dehydrated ready for application.
I love you guys Melissa and Tracy🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
🙏🏻💖 Thank you so much! We love sharing with you! 😉😊💅🏻✨💖
Melissa is such a great teacher! I always enjoy her videos.
Oh. My. Gosh. I am giving my clients an orange wood stick to scratch with from now on😆You just saved the day lol. Constant issue for me. Thank you!😘😘😘
Lol! Right!! 😂😅 😉😊🙌🏼💅🏻💖✨
Holy crap! I’ve been getting lifters and i had no idea why. But I was taught to use alcohol! 😳 switching to swipe right away!
🙌🏼😉😊💖💅🏻✨
Hi. I've watched several of your videos but I have never used the system and I've never commented before. I enhance my nails because I play finger style on steel string guitar. I've tried many different ways of doing it: fiberglass mesh and nail glue wraps like James Taylor; acrylic tips with nail glue & dip powder, nail glue and dip powder without the tips, and some combinations thereof (like fiberglass wraps with an acrylic dip finish). Because I am using them as a tool and not as decoration they tend to want to pop off. They've popped off enough different times that my nail itself is like a sheet of paper. If I am without an enhancement they would tear right off. I'm trying to get to the point where I'm not destroying the natural nail and they can grow back in strong and full thickness. Because I play everyday I can't give myself weeks without some sort of enhancement, as is so often suggested. I've never used the YN system so I think I might need to look into it, though it's very expensive, but if it would work I don't care. I also think I've been making them too thick and apparently that's also an issue for popping off. I don't particularly care what they look like as much as I care that they don't come off! I don't paint them I just play the guitar. Any suggestions would be awesome! I've been doing this for years and still haven't come up with a system that works consistently for one or two weeks (and also doesn't destroy my nails). I know there's also plenty of people that do this b/c they play guitar, and there's a lot of information out there from guitarists, but they are not nail experts. Maybe you could specifically address in a video what to do if you're a guitarist and how to enhance your nails that way, using the YN system. I know many classical guitarists (which I am not) tend towards gel enhancements but I don't like the sound on the steel strings. I'd rather the fiberglass system or the acrylic dip or a fusion of the two. Plus since the thumb is at an odd angle while playing, I like to extend the nail so it's a little bit further towards the outside of my hand than it could naturally grow. Makes a big difference, and I tend to use some fiberglass mesh to help bridge that and create a little more ability to act in tension (like the reinforcing mesh in concrete towards the bottom keeps it from cracking because it gives it some tensile strength. I've been in the field of architecture for a long time so I know some of this stuff 😅). Also because of the nail hitting the string, the outside of my thumb and the thumb-side of my index finger and started to pull from the nail bed. I know the only way to reattach this is to remove that part of the nail and let it regrow in but I don't think that's happening because I don't have time for that. Any suggestions that would help the guitarists that need enhancements to get the volume and dynamics that we need would be awesome! Thanks!
We would recommend looking into our fiber gel product or if you are wanting to use tips, we would use acrylic over them instead if a dip powder with resin.

😁 Thank you!! 🤍💅🏻✨🤩
Definitely Recommend All your Videos are Incredible
I appreciate how detailed you were! Great video
Thank you!! 💅🏻✨💖
Love how you explained everything!💜
Thank you so much! 🙏🏻🤍💅🏻✨🤩
Honestly Melissa ! You have helped my nail game sooooo much. The top coat video was so useful and I am so excited for my Chrome's not to chip!
The ultimate finish top is AMAZING for Chrome!
You can chrome it no matter how long it was cured. I was using a top coat where you had to time the curing process or it would NOT WORK!!
That makes me so happy! 🙌🏼😉🤩💅🏻💖✨
Thank you!! 🥰🥰 Very helpful, putting the alcohol DOWN!
🙌🏼😉😊✨💖
Another super helpful video. Thank you Melissa
Your welcome!🙏🏻💖
This video is soo informative! Love all of the tips that you never think of especially as a newbie ♡
😉😊🙌🏼🤍💅🏻✨🤩
What came to mind is to give each client also the instructions of staying away from excessive moisture the first day after the set. Or use gloves when shampooing hair and or dishes.
I love ALL the details. Please show us this on a real person! I find it soothing!
I’m learning so much from your channel. Thank you.🙇🏽♀️
Ive learned more from your videos than I learned in my 7 week nail course that I paid $2900 out of pocket for.
I’m so happy you have learned so much from us! 🙌🏼💅🏻✨
Same although I paid much less for my course. At least you got a professional qualification out of it and it's now a matter of getting better!
Ahhh you guys must of seen my comments along with many others with the same issue🤦🏻♀️ I needed this thank you 🙏🏼
Love melissa’s tutorials. X
I’m so happy you enjoy them! 🙏🏻💖💅🏻✨
I have alot of clients that come in with short bitten nails.. I would love to see how you guys go about putting a full set on those kind of nails. And if acrylic or gel would be best.
yeeees! gel! pleaaaaase! 💕
We will have to find someone with bitten nails for sure! 😉😊💅🏻
I'm Soo dum , I thought you meant the nails popping off of ur practice hand!! Mabey u could do something on that subject lol thanks for the info so happy u do these videos 😀
😆😂🙌🏼💅🏻💖✨
Great video, thank you! Best tip for me was seasoning the arbor band straight on versus at an angle. I was totally doing it at an angle. Wonder how my clients nails are doing...? Lol!
Now all our vans fans are created equal. Ours are always a nice quality and you don’t have to season so much. There are some out there that look like they have rocks on them LOL those really need to be seasoned and be careful if you ever use one.
@@mjaydelacruz8496 thanks for the reply, because now that I think of it I do have some nice ones from Amy's master works and probably don't really need it.
I could learn from Melissa all day!! Great teacher!! Thank you young nails for the beautiful help!!!!
Can you do A video with angle paper that's NOT aurora nails??
Melissa, you are such a great teacher and you explain things so well! Thank you:)
I love seeing you ladies
😉😊💅🏻✨💖🙌🏼
Love anything with Melissa on it! This was really helpful and the instructions were clearly presented and well thought out. Thanks Melissa and YN. After a lot of nail trouble last year (from another brand) I'm trying again with a nude set of your cover pink acrylic. Ok so far! Fingers crossed I get no nail separation.
WOW EXCELLENT VIDEO - very comprehensive!!!!!!! Thank you!
Also product! YN has changed my game
Yesssss! 🙌🏼😉😊💅🏻✨💖🤩
Always the best advice!
😉😊🙌🏼💖✨
Omg! You are amazing! So informative and helpful in every way possible. I really feel confident after seeing your videos. Thank you so much!

You're welcome! We hope you enjoyed this video on common mistakes that cause lifting.
I always had lifting on the tips of my gel polish. Bought protein bond, I only apply to the tips and edges no more lifting.
Love the video !
Melissa I love your hat❤️
🙏🏻💖 Thank you so much! 😊
Thanks thanks so much, I have a client ,and her nails are popping off, and it to very thin, I have learned a lot
I’m so excited for you to apply all these techniques! Your job about to get easier! 🙌🏼😉😊💅🏻💖✨
I really like this video! It was actually helpful
I've been doing my own nails since I was 12 in high school I was a cos student and now I am almost 30 years old and this is still the issue I have with nails LOL they last me 2 to 3 weeks a couple of my nails will last a month but never longer than that
The orange wood stick yes!!
This is my favourite video, so informative.
That was so detailed and informative. Thank you. I am now one of your subscribers ^^
I am loving this tutorial! I have one client that loves her crazy long nails and the not your everyday nail art to go along with it. She is always coming back with at least one nail that's popped off. I already do most of the steps but you've gone into such detail that I'll be sure to follow. I know a lot of it is probably her job. (She's a cashier at Fry's and well known because of her nails) But all her keying and catching them in the small carry baskets doesn't help I'm sure. lol
And I'm Nails by Melissa LLC btw! Can't believe I was able to get that name for my salon! lol
I’m so glad I watched this 😭💕💕💕
