“How do two brothers get into the nail care business?” This is the single most common question people ask us. There’s a long and rocky version but we’ll give you the short one. We have our fearless and unconventional mother, Young Salo, to thank. With a single-minded entrepreneurial spirit, she decided to start her own business at the age of 49. She had a passion for the nail industry and we did everything in our power to support her. In the end, this is a family business.
Greg, the older brother, became a licensed nail technician after switching gears from fire fighter’s training. He is energy personified and has a true passion for developing the best professional nail care products and education. Habib is the younger brother. He jumped in a few years later; taking a detour from medical school and a life in music. He brings his own creative mind for business, marketing and strategy. Unexpectedly, we are a perfect team.
Today, more than 20 years later, Young Nails Inc., is a professional nail care manufacturing company exporting to over 40 countries worldwide and distributing domestically to over 3000 stores.

4 Most Common Mistakes Beginners Make With Acrylic Nail Application - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต
No tea no shade to the other members of Youngnails because all of you guys are wonderful but Karen has been the only one that gave an in-depth detailed tip on how to pick up the perfect pearl of acrylic on a brush. I feel the urge to move toward acrylic again because the main reason why I moved away from acrylic and more towards gel and polygel was because I couldn’t figure out how to pick up the acrylic properly. Thanks for sharing the knowledge Karen:)
❤️
I honestly agree 😅 but they all give their own advices and teach ppl in the way that they know, everyone will take that information in in different ways and whatever works for them! But yes she does give great beginners advice the best to those who don't understand the others information they put out, so I thank you Karen for giving some of your audience the guidance we need and crave in this industry! We don't get many ppl at all that go in such in depths to teach people how to do things correctly and it's absolutely wonderful to finally come across someone who can actually teach us those methods in the ways that we take in information and bring it into our work! Thank you 💙✨
@nakeasimone13 so true I’m feeling like I can’t get it
I love the fact that you expressed this so openly. I can’t polish my nails and totally love my nail polish when im finished polishing. I’m tomboyish, have been since I was a little girl but there’s something about doing guy things that make me feel like I’m a strong woman! I also have my soft side that not too many people will ever see. But I love to let my guard down and feel lovely and pretty from head to toe and go on a date night with my husband and so I started trying to do my nails with gel tips or build my nail with forms or the sticker 😅it’s so dainty because you have to be soft and sort of be gentle with the product and with your nails and your electric file. Like you have to have that soft touch. Well, I have to get in touch with my soft touch ha ha but tutorials help me and hopefully I’m getting better and I’m so embarrassed to even say I’m trying but what you said in your comment has really give me confidence. Thank you very much.
@JoLopez-lo9up Just the fact that you’re trying to do your nails will help you in so many ways! Just taking the time to do your nails (or get them done) is therapeutic It makes you look & feel more feminine & every time you look at them you get a positive mental pick me up 😊 I’m sure your husband appreciates you taking the time to do them too lol Good luck on your nail journey & welcome to the addictive world of nails! 😂👏🏽🥳💅🏽❤💸
Yes! This! The minutia is exactly what I needed to learn. You aren't mere instructors, you are educators (btw, this woman is incredibly pleasant to listen to). You can explain the how and the why from every direction, including the how not and why not. I appreciate your thoughtfulness in preparing these videos so even the newest of us can follow along. You are like the ivy league for nail education, but you are offering this for free; I can't get over that!
❤️
What she said! Ditto
Thank you- this will stick in my brain. ☺️
Wow, this was probably THE BEST explanation/demonstration that I have seen regarding acrylic application EVER! You made it so clear and understandable, from the proper way to load your brush, to how much acrylic powder to pick up and where on the brush it should be done, to acrylic placement and everything in between. You just made it make sense. I will watch again and again until I am able to execute my acrylic application as easily as you explained/demonstrated it. Thank you!
The instructor, I think Karen, is just wonderful. A very pleasant voice, and her pace is calm, not excited or rushed. It is just perfect for teaching and learning, she needs to take over (behind Greg) for videos. She just has all your attention, and its consistent, you dont gotta lean into " what did she say" or pull back back she suddenly yells or screeches. I also loved the examples she gives - "Looks like an orange peel" - I was like, why has no one said that before!!
I know everything she was teaching today, and still learned something!! I was not bored and in fact, throughly enjoyed the video. Cannot wait to see more videos from Karen.
Thank you for this one. ♡
Wow, thank you ladies and YN. You just showed me most of my mistakes in 15mins. I'm about to do a Rock Star pink and White tonight. Thanks for the confirmation and inspiration 🙏🏽
This video is what you need to master acrylic in 15 min! So much amazing info. Thank you!
A year later I still come to look at YN videos because you guys are so in depth and do visuals which help people like me learn better! Y’all are the goats of nail information period! Thank you for all you do! 😊❤🎉
No matter how many videos YN does on this subject, I always learn something new!
These are the kinds of videos that have the best impact on repeat. Karen is the Queen of clear explanation and despite being familiar with my mistakes I need to often be reminded as to what goes wrong. Thanks Karen and YN Fam
Thanks so much ..... My bead was either too wet or too dry and I worked it way too long. My nails looked good by the time I was done, but It took me three hrs to do them. I learned a great lesson today, maybe I can cut the time down to an hour and a half. Once again thanks. This channel is AWESOME!!!!!!!!
Thank you so much for this video. I'm going to be starting to try acrylic soon, this video definitely helps in being mindful of technique and paying attention to detail. Thank you! 😇💕
This video was extremely helpful for me to figure out what I've been doing wrong. Thanks YN for providing for consistent and accurate nail education that I'm able to apply right away! I've decided to only use your acrylic application method as it makes the most sense to me of the methods I've seen. I appreciate you all! 💅🏆👑
Very informative im struggling with the cuticle area and you were spot on with my issue. Definitely trying this on my next set. Thank you 🥰
You don’t know how many times I said oooooooohhhh while watching this, thank you so much I have been doing everything wrong lol no one has explained it like this ❤❤
Tqss so much maam I have so many learning and amazing teaching ❤❤❤im so happy today 😊
Thank you for this vid .
Fabulous teacher.
Very clear demonstrations and verbal explanation as to why and how.
❤
Thank you! By far the BEST video I have watched carefully explaining acrylic application.
I literally learnt more in the first 5 mins of this vid, than I did when I did my cosmetology course 😮 thanks for sharing ❤
Wow very very informative!!! I do my own nails for fun.(diy-er) Still learning acrylic i got the gel down way better then acrylic. The acrylic is way harder for me to do due to the lack knowledge. It gets frustrating when u keep triyng to fix ur errors but don't know how to or what to do. Watching this tutorial i will definitely try acrylic again!! This video gave me inspiration and a lot of knowledge.thank u so much!!!
You teach exactly how I learn. Amazing. I will definitely be looking at your other videos! Thank you!
Your explanations are so on the point.Thanks very much.i was really always ending up with some thick cuticles ,I will then file and file and file still it wasn't that thin.thanks for this beautiful details.
Explained way better than when I was in school! I hated liquid to powder because I didn't understand the diverse use of the different consistencies. I do gel acrylics because I was so discouraged by the time it would take me to grasp it doing a set. Awesome video! Very thorough!
My goodness!!!! You just fixed 1/2 my problems with this simple training. Thanks sooo much. I'm self taught so every little training helps. I hope one day I can make some money off this.
Thank you Tracy that really help me a lot you explained it where you can understand I really appreciate it have a blessed day 😇🙏🏾🙌🏾❤️
I loveeeee her soothing voice please have her in more videos i learn so much the way she explains everything
excellent video, learned so much to clean up my application!!!
You guys are all amazing and so are your products and prices!
Thank you! We’re glad you took the time to watch this video on common mistakes beginners make.
I love your detailed and nice video, good job!
Thanks for the tips! I need to get more comfortable with a wetter pearl and letting it flow where it needs to go.
❤️
This is amazing! I can’t wait to learn from all of your videos. :)
Definitely need to practice and learn more when applying the bead to the nail by the cuticle more where I don’t smash it on and like yours where it’s set down beautifully and built apex and lightly go towards the cuticle and sidewalls and brush it toward the tip where it’s not flat and bulky on the outsides of edges
This is the best Video on doing acrylic nails i've ever seen. I never knew how i'd properly master the consistency and how to properly work with it and you made me understand how to master that. I'll Download that Video and watch it the next time i'll do my nails 👍
Wow thank you so much YN ❤️😩🙌🏾✨
Thank you for this. Im on day 1 of my hopefully long nail journey. Ive just brought my starter kit to practice on and every single tutorial shows you how to do it but they dont explain the technique so my first nail came out disastrous. Im getting better with each try because of this video. Thank you
Perfect thank you.❤
Woah! I'm starting to like monomer more than dip powder, and I haven't even started practicing nail work. 😆 This is amazing!
Thank you sooo much 🙃….. your videos always give me great information about nails ..thanku …love from india
Thank you soo much! Exactly what I needed to learn, u r amazing!!
Thanks! My daughter is starting high school and really wants acrylic nails a lot. Just can’t afford salon so for the cost of one set I can get what I need and learn how to do them for her. Also hoping that will be some good bonding time.
Thanks so much for those helpful tips.
Perfection at the cuticle!!!
You are a genius. I’m inspired , I will try again
Beautiful ❤thank you for sharing

Thank you so much for this. Great explanation and perfect visuals. I so appreciate this channel!
Thank you 🙏🏽
What a great video!
I've been teaching myself acrylics for years lol within the last two years though my application has gotten really good on my opposite hand there's no lifting when I do it with my dominant hand there's lots of lifting and you just answered my problem because when I work with my dominant hand it's too dry when I work with my less dominant hand I let it get wetter because I angle it down because I can't Pat it out as much and still have it straight lol and not lumpy thank you
Thank you so much!
Great video!
Omg your nails are gorgeous 🤩
Thanks for this❤
thanks for your help here ❤
This is so helpful 🎉
Thank you this was perfect will save this
Awesome video
Thank you 🙏🏼
Thank you so much!!
I love acrylic, but I'm sticking to gel at the moment. I don't think there's a gel option that gets as hard as acrylic - the super hardness is what I like about acrylic specifically - but the monomer smell gives me a migraine in like two seconds.
I'll still watch these videos though - I'm going to give acrylic another try come spring, when I can keep all my windows open (and maybe just straight up sit on the balcony as I practice 😅)!
❤️
Here's a tip or two u can use. I had the same problem but realized nail art is a nice retirement situation for me to just sit and do nails but was nervous of the smell hurtimg my head, so thankfully I learned these few tips now before that time comes when I decide to stop doin hair and just sit and do nails years from now. 2 things...and trust THEY WORK!!! ...first off, zip lock bags are a must!! Your used towels will smell up the garbage, even with a lid so what i do is keep my used monomer towels in a zip lock in one of those air tight containers you can easily get from a discount store (a good one) and it will now seal in that smell twice as much. I labeled mine as "caution" to remind me to open it slowly or not in my face. literally it sits directly on my table for days sometimes cuz I forget to toss it out due to not being able to smell it. Mind u it's in my bedroom. I suffer from migraines and I DON'T SMELL NOT ONE BIT OF IT 👍🏾 ...until I open it 😂. So that's a start. Second...and this is a must even if u dont do the "zip-lock and/or container" thing.... Fan fan fan. Get a really good winded fan that blows really good strong air and place it BEHIND YOU facing you or next to your left or right side blowing across your face pusing the monomer smell away. Behind u is best. 👍🏾 In addition, u can get one of those white construction masks and place some type of cloth inside (I use a sock 😊 it's thick but breathable) and have it cover your nose and mouth with the mask holding it. Although the mask is optional honestly if I don't wear it the monomer smell still is lightly in my nose but with the mask it doesn't bother me at all during and especially after. Trust u forget ur wearing it and u can sit and do nails as long as u want without a reminder of "POISON!!!" 😂 and trust I know it works...after I unmask myself from a couple of hours of nail play and practice I get up and walk to the end of the house and pow it smacks me in the face saying "I'm still here!" 😂 Although I pre open windows b4 hand the smell still lingers from the fan pushing the smell away from me...but most importantly the area where ur working is BREATHABLE. 😩😩😩 I actually get more work done this way when using acrylic... If not my throat closes up, nose gets runny...just not feeling well in health. Trust me this will help until u can get proper ventilation. 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾 Let me know if it help. ♥️♥️♥️
Have fun!! I do...💅💅🏾💅🏼💅🏿😊😊😊
WowwWw. Thank you so much beautiful lady
Thank you so much
Thank you!!
THANK YOU!
You're welcome!
wow i have got to know many things this way
This is a super good video and explain very well!! Can you have a video how to do short nails and overlay in a perfect way, I always struggle put the product on and make it thin enough on a natural nail.

What acrylic set do you recommend for just starting out? Love your videos so informative!
We recommend our core kit for beginners.

Thank you for this video, are you using slow setting monomer?
We only have one type of monomer. Our powders have different setting speeds.

I have a question regarding apex structure for different lengths of nails. Do short nails (under 1.5cm from cuticle to free-edge) need an apex? Would you do an apex for an acrylic overlay?
You do want to build at least a slight apex/arch to every artificial nail to give it the strength and durability it needs. If you are building shorter nails, they won't need quite so much of an arch, but longer nails will need to be built up to support the extra length.
Hi! I watch your videos with interest. I am wondering what do you guys recommend work with gel or acrylic!?
Both! We always recommend using what is used most where you are located.
Hi!I never worked with acrylic,and i will like toknow if the primer used at gel is good when i will use acrylic,and if is need to put my nails in uv lamp .Excuse my english. Thank you
We cannot speak on other products as we do not test them.
We use our product protein bond. Protein bond is a non acid primer.. it doesn’t chemically etch the nail like a traditional primer does. Protein stays sticky.. sticks to the natural nail and then sticks the product.
Here is a video on Protein Bond & how to use it: th-cam.com/video/GY8KvVKJlQE/w-d-xo.html
At times I think it’s a good bead placement application and than it does not look runny and after it settles it runs to sidewalls and kinda bulky where I first set it close to the cuticle but not up against it. And than I hav the issue it me having to force it also. The struggle is REAL
With the forms is it harder to apply the acrylic on the tip first the cuticle side and do like one or two beads to go up to the tip of the form? Or does it not come out right? Also same with using nail tips?
th-cam.com/video/mS4VHrCDKIc/w-d-xo.html
My acrylic kept sticking and my beads were weirdly shaped + I was ‘balooning’ my acrylic, making the sidewalls look HUGE. This has been incredibly helpful!! Thank you YoungNails!!! ❤️❤️❤️
❤️
Do you guys have this being done on a live hand? I feel like my issue is getting the sidewalls tight and folks have bigger sidewalls than the mannequin. But also thumbs are so naturally wide and idk what to do.
If you are having trouble getting your product to your sidewalls, you may just need to pick up a larger pearl so it flows all the way from side to side. Try working wit Greg's signature brush. It is a size 12 and you can pick up larger pearls with it.
So useful thank you so much! I would like to try out the products but unfortunately no international shipping 😢
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'm just a diy-er and I can usually only tap my acrylic n2 the cuticle area neatly while it runs on my index n pinky. I'm guessing it's cuz they're the smallest. I'm not sure what size my middle n ring finger nails r but they're close to my thumbs. My thumbs r 15mm n that's also why I taught myself how to sculpt on forms from the get go. My nails aren't abnormally large though... they do fit the size of my hands 😆 🤣 😂 When I was young I played the piano n had grays hands for it but I stopped playing when my grandpa died. In high school my gym teacher was the girls basketball coach. She flunked me cuz I wouldn't play on the team. I could throw the basketball like a baseball. So now that I've got size references outta the way... What r your suggestions for the tap tap tap n run for me?

Thanks for watching! We hope this video on common mistakes was helpful for you.
Does it matter what liquid you use? My acrylic stays like rubber like forever. I don't know if the liquid is crap or the powder. Do u have any advice?
Most companies, like ours, make their products to work best within the same line. They are formulated to work together.
We don’t test our products with other brands. Our monomer works best with our powders.
❤️❤️❤️❤️👏
👏👏👏👏👏❤
I’ve noticed in the thumb nail how to apply the bead on the don’t when showed press right in middle and looks like a donut I e been doing that and I think because when doing gel Greg gave tips on to kinda pillow it like that so the gel is toward the cuticle but I need to know it’s not the same as acrylic application
No, you do not apply gel and acrylic the same way.
👍👍👍👍👍
