I've gotten better with prep, but I still get minor lifting every now and again especially after a set is three to four weeks old. Yes, I am one those people who believe nails should last for eight months. Lol Love your nails, Tracey!.
Lmao!!! That's why I started learning how to do my own nails because I believed I could do it better then the salons and make them last 8 months!....Didn't happen... 🤣🤣🤣
Literally y I started doin my own lmao and the fact that they love chopping off your real nails wether u say yes or no 🤬🤬🤬 but since I've started doin mine the longest set was 2 nd a half months now they looked like I went thru the valley of the shadow of death but they all was on nd I still had to soak em
They really shouldn't last that long and the reason is because you have no idea what's going on underneath. You can get lifting of the natural nail from the nail bed, greenies, other nasties and of course the start of an allergy too.
I'm so proud to say that after teaching myself (thanks CZcams) and practicing nails for a year I almost never have lifting! Woohoo! (And when I do I usually know exactly why lol)
I was the first one because I would sometimes get nicked back when I would go to get my nails done and so I was afraid I would hurt my clients. I just kept practicing on myself until I knew I was comfortable with e-file. Thanks for sharing
I have NEVER seen tracy work so slow before lol usually she just throws everything on the nail in like 2.7 seconds and is completely done!! lol so weird seeing her work this pace.. this was definitely extremely helpful! Thanks for sharing guys 😊😊😊
I am new to the nail business NY customers have complained a few times n I got scared even a bit unmotivated but now that I saw this I'll look to see what my issue is. Thanks for posting
OMG there was a "nail tech" here on CZcams saying that the only thing that can cause lifting is not roughing nails up. 😬 YIKES. I should send her this video.
Thankfully, I have never had a lifting issue. I educated myself with these amazing videos, I use swipe, and Protein Bond. I also use a small diamond cuticle bit as well.
Lifting had been my biggest issue and the reason why I don’t feel comfortable offering enhancement services (even though I have trained to do them). Gonna have to practice some more!
I have been having lifting issues (not as many as I used to but I have some still), so extra thank you today!! I really needed this video, and I know what I've been doing wrong!! Ya'll rock!!
I think the key is the speed! I was saying it’s taking me FOREVER to file and Tracey was talking about the bit sharpness and machine speed and I just realized I’m only about half way on my machine for bulk removal, so no wonder I’m thinking if I try to speed up it burns so didn’t want to turn up speed on machine. I tried it tonight on myself and dramastically cut down my time filing and didn’t get warm at all until I slowed it down around my cuticles (non dominant hand also) then I put the pieces together and it clicked. TYSM!! 👏
I think that's been my issue with the last two sets I tried to do on myself. Now I'm letting my nails grow out so they're healthy and not thin from losing layers. It's key with gel and acrylic.
That makes Sooo much sense. It also has a lot to do with the grit of the file, the hand soap some of us use and if are protecting our nails wile cleaning etc if it’s not acrylic and just a wrap, gel nail or gel polish. I noticed a huge difference when I switched to a higher grit on the cuticle area. Fine grits don’t prep the nail nearly well enough for a gel polish, gel nail or a wrap. Everyone ik had lifting on the cuticle with a wrap and gel polish after 14days. If they use gloves when dishes, cleaning or even a rougher/higher grit file that won’t happen.
So I only have a problem with my right hand , my nails on my right always pop off. It is my dominant hand so I’m thinking that might play a factor in it, but when I use to go to the nail salon my nails on my right hand did not pop off.
I love Tracy 💖 she explains things so humbly and thoroughly. Your videos are so helpful!! I just look through Young Nails videos anytime I have an issue, and there’s endless information on what to do/ what not to do. You guys rock 🎉
I work at a salon. I’m doing acrylics and I get lifting all of the time. Clients come back and either A. Don’t want to sit with me anymore or B. I fix the nails and pray that they don’t come back. When I do refill on other peoples work I get very few lifting. It’s mostly on the full sets I do myself. I feel so discouraged! Going to take these tips and see if it helps.
This video was very helpful! I did my own dip powder nails at home for the first time and got lifting and chipping by my cuticles in less than a week! I think it’s because I didn’t clean/file my cuticle well enough *and used too much product by my cuticle. I’ll try your tips next time but do you have a video on dip powder and using hand files? 😊
Perfect. Thank you for this great explanation! I have never seasoned my sanding band and do get close to the cuticle but always wondered if it would cut just like a file. I have a change to make there.
OMG.. that is exactly my problem! I couldn't figure it out. I was guilty of two things you mentioned. Thanks ChickeePoo🙂. Yay!!! 😃 This was soooooo helpful!
Update... Since I put into practice the things you described. My nails have had ZERO Lifting! This has never been the case before your video! Thanks soooooo much!
Okay I am having some issues with lifting on nails that I do for people. Here is what I do for Prep every time, please tell me if I am doing something wrong: - Push cuticle back - Cuticle drill bit to remove non-living tissue - Sanding band to roughen and clean up nail bed - Bit to remove old gel polish (if doing a fill) - Make sure I have a proper nail tip fit (if doing new set) - Roughen up nail tip (if new set is being done) - Dehydrate natural nail bed with YN Swipe (new set or fills) - Young Nails Protein Bond - Then I use YN Acrylic with YN monomer. So what am I doing wrong here that causes lifting for some of my ladies, or is it what THEY are doing with/to their nails once they leave? When they come back to me and have nails that have popped off or lifting, they speak to me as if it's entirely my fault that its happening.
it sounds like you're doing everything right? a lot if clients will say that their nails just fall off but if they are banging or hitting their nails, it causes lifting even if the artificial nail does not come off.
It is possible that it's something they are doing. It would also depend on where they are lifting from to be able to narrow it down. Here is a great video on why nails could be popping off: czcams.com/video/dF8sWQpHUt0/video.html
I score the edge of my sanding bands too. :) Glad to know I'm not the only one. I don't think I've seen anyone else do that. Thanks for another great video. ❤
If your product is as good as your video content, I guess I've found my brand! I mean, I'm no nail tech, and just do my own (eventually dd's as well), but I think my next set will be much improved. Your voice is a little shaky in areas. Are you nervous or caffeinated? Excellent content!
Wow, thank you! As you will come to learn watching our channel, Tracey is always caffeinated lol Welcome! Please feel free to ask us any questions you have on any of our social media. We are @youngnailsinc across the board.
Love the tips! They work great on my mom and my sister but for me I take a lot of meds and my skin is extremely dry no matter how clean and nice my cuticles look I always have crappy cuticles in a week idk what to do always lifting in my left hand...
I struggled with those 3 issues when I started. Thank you for clarifying that. Many of my clients use medication and their enhancements lift a the cuticles. Do you ever had a situation like this and so yes how do you go about it?
Yes of course medication definitely affects nails, unfortunately in that situation there isn't much you can do outside of experiment with each client to see if a different product bonds better like if they had acrylic try gel. Worst case scenario nothing is staying on I would recommend them come in more frequent so you can keep up on them
I love this. Yes it's a video showing us what we will do wrong but is there a video showing how to do these things right? Cuz I do all 3 but cant get it right
My instructor was so strict about the cuticle, I'm terrified of getting the eponychium. She HATED the concept of the Russian manicure. But she never supervised what I do to ensure I did it right. So now my clients are getting lifting after 5 days 😕
When prepping, we don't recommend trimming the cuticles until after the service. This way, if you bump them with a file, they won't be as delicate. All you need to do for prep is push them back and use a medium arbor band to remove the shine from the nail.
Hi I'm learning alo so I wish to study more about nails if I may be granted bursary when I come back I will teach south African future nails technicians the right thing.🙏🙏🙏
I get no lifting mine just pop off 🤦♀️🤦♀️ especially my right hand bcs I'm not so good using my left to lay acrylic well on cuticle area the struggle
I am having issues with my pearls being too wet and runny. Even if I wipe and wipe and wipe. When I apply, product runs everywhere. I got a #10 brush for my ogre nails but could it be the brush is too big? I’m having to use a paper towel now 😂. This was very helpful though. The cuticle always makes me cringe 😬 😮💨
To control your product, you may need to wait a couple of seconds before setting it onto the nail. Also make sure the finger is pointing downward so the product flows down the nail rather than into the sidewalls. Here's a great video that will help you! czcams.com/video/bQspoPGWJW8/video.html
Thanks for the helpful tips! What would you do about lifting at the free edge? Sort of a reverse lifting. The natural nail seems to let go of the product (gel) and my clients get lots of dirt and junk accumulated between the gel and the natural nail at the free edge.
That is caused from the natural nails being dry and brittle. It causes the nail to pull away from the enhancement. I would recommend rose oil and no picking! lol mini rose oils are the promos for nov/dec perfect client gifts!
Omg the answer to this just may have solved my issues. Now I want to redo my nails and fix em. Hard to keep em hydrated when my hands are always in water
🙋🏼♀️ yup, the cuticles are scary. 😂
Totally
Frr
@@youngnailsinc ⁰
No wonder my nails were lifting I was literally doing all these 3 😂 so glad I watched this video it helped a lot
I’m a year in & I still come back to watch this just to refresh my memory . It helps 😭
Girl I'm here for the same...

Seasoning the sanding band is such a good tip. Thanks from Australia!
Happy it helped

Nice! Good for you
What primers do you recommend?
I lift to much it’s stresses me out my nails pop off like 2 days later
I was the first one because I would sometimes get nicked back when I would go to get my nails done and so I was afraid I would hurt my clients. I just kept practicing on myself until I knew I was comfortable with e-file. Thanks for sharing
That's it! Practicing on yourself is key
Oh my gosh I’m the too much in cuticle area this definitely was a lightbulb
Good!
I have NEVER seen tracy work so slow before lol usually she just throws everything on the nail in like 2.7 seconds and is completely done!! lol so weird seeing her work this pace.. this was definitely extremely helpful! Thanks for sharing guys 😊😊😊

This is my biggest problem,nice application then when I fill I got ligting thank you for your help now I can see where the probleme is
Omg this video saved me!! I thought I was doing my prep right but nope. Thank you, Thank you, Thank You! I am so grateful! I was about to give up!
Yes Tracey that's true cuz I think those tissues around the cuticles are so soft they bruise easily but it's a MAJOR cause of lifting 💯
For sure
I think that's been my issue with the last two sets I tried to do on myself. Now I'm letting my nails grow out so they're healthy and not thin from losing layers. It's key with gel and acrylic.
Wow! The last one! A lightbulb definitely went off this is so helpful I love all of these videos 😭❤️ thank you guys so much!
Thank you for the information I spend tons of money at the nail salon and my tech always saying that because I type alot that's why my nail is lifting

Welcome
I dunno what to do because when I prep properly I get allergy like reactions n around my nails itch alot so I stopped prepping too much
My instructor was so strict about the cuticle, I'm terrified of getting the eponychium. She HATED the concept of the Russian manicure. But she never supervised what I do to ensure I did it right. So now my clients are getting lifting after 5 days 😕
When prepping, we don't recommend trimming the cuticles until after the service. This way, if you bump them with a file, they won't be as delicate. All you need to do for prep is push them back and use a medium arbor band to remove the shine from the nail.
My issue is the tips lift from the natural nail underneath and eventually the whole nail pops off! I don't have this problem with nail forms
Hi I'm learning alo so I wish to study more about nails if I may be granted bursary when I come back I will teach south African future nails technicians the right thing.🙏🙏🙏
You can contact Young nails South afruca about education for that region
Thank I will look for it young nails south africa
I get no lifting mine just pop off 🤦♀️🤦♀️ especially my right hand bcs I'm not so good using my left to lay acrylic well on cuticle area the struggle
could you guys talk about the different types and colors of acrylic powders that YN has? im trying to switch but i dont know which to use and buy
Yep yep no problem
Awesome thanks so much x
❤️❤️
Awesome information tfs💜💖💜
❤️
sigh I am too heavy handed with my e-file in the cuticle area.. I def need more practice.
Practice on yourself so you can feel it
Dying here by the beautiful perfect 2x4!!! best one so far :))))
Haha thanks
😂🤣😂I was wondering who else was tickled too!! Lol
Good video. Thanks.

Great video!

I am having issues with my pearls being too wet and runny. Even if I wipe and wipe and wipe. When I apply, product runs everywhere. I got a #10 brush for my ogre nails but could it be the brush is too big? I’m having to use a paper towel now 😂. This was very helpful though. The cuticle always makes me cringe 😬 😮💨
To control your product, you may need to wait a couple of seconds before setting it onto the nail. Also make sure the finger is pointing downward so the product flows down the nail rather than into the sidewalls. Here's a great video that will help you! czcams.com/video/bQspoPGWJW8/video.html
Awesome tips
❤️
I always push the cuticles back with the pusher and get all the white stuff off but they still pop of after a week or 2
Swipe and protein bond are game changers. Swipe dehydrates the nail perfectly while protein bond helps everything to stick better.
Thanks for the helpful tips! What would you do about lifting at the free edge? Sort of a reverse lifting. The natural nail seems to let go of the product (gel) and my clients get lots of dirt and junk accumulated between the gel and the natural nail at the free edge.
That is caused from the natural nails being dry and brittle. It causes the nail to pull away from the enhancement. I would recommend rose oil and no picking! lol mini rose oils are the promos for nov/dec perfect client gifts!
Thanks so much! I thought it was me!!!
