Wow I learn so many tips from this video! Mainly not applying the gel on the tips first and also that neat little trick with the protein bond on the edges to prevent chipping.
I got mine. I used it to attach my press on nails and it worked perfectly. I have had my nails on now for over a week and they are still on. My co-workers have thought that I got my nails done at the shop.
I got the fiber gel when it first came out and my clients are loving it! I tried the technique on 1 nail 4 weeks ago and it’s still on, so far no lifting. I’m about to fill around the cuticle to see for much longer it’s going to stay!
Thank you for all your tips and tricks. They've been so helpful for me! The Protein Bond has been a huge help, too. My nails used to just pop off after a couple days (even when I was getting them done in the salon) no matter how good the prep. With the Protein Bond, I can wear them almost a full two weeks before they start to pop off. Thanks!
That’s for sure. I was just coming out of a long illness and has separated nail beds due to malnutrition. I kept the fiber-gel on the in hopes they wouldn’t rip off while growing out and it worked wonderfully. I only had one nail break off and most were separated almost to half-mom. I wear fiber-gel under everything
@@NanaNan1 thank you.. I hv lot too .. since my nails grew out with fiber gel.. I just use the full cover tips to do designs & give them away to my GFs from HS or any friends 💅 as gifts..
I got mine and I must say it is totally awesome. I've used the kit and wore a couple of days then changed colors. I was able to clip and file one of my nails off to redo because it was crooked. 😂 Thank you for making this kit! 🥰❤️💅🏻
Fantastic application technique. For the record you don't need to file the inside of the full coverage tip, you can just use primer/bonder to etch it. Saves so much time.
I tried this quick technique without filing the the tip inside ... I wanted a temporary look and they actually stayed on for 4 weeks until I soaked them off. I just knew they were going to come off on their own but they didn't. The best product ever !!!
By far, the best kit ever!! I have not used the tips yet other than to swatch the new fiber gel colors. I did figure out how to do a flawless baby boomer nail with those! So I did my own nails that way without tips. I am in love with them! ❤
For flat nails, you would want to use either more product or a thicker product (such as our Sculptor hard gels) to fill in that gap. If you use a gel, make sure to remove the shine from the well of the tip since gel won't adhere to the shiny surface and will pop off. You can also use a pearl of acrylic to apply it. Keep in mind, acrylic or soft gels (ManQ or Fiber Gel) will soak off, but Synergy hard gels will not, so this would have to be filed off. Yes, they can be filed/cut down for shorter nails.

Hellow im allergic to gel base coat and monomer. I can use dip base and dip powders. I'm applying my full cover tips with dip base for the moment. Is fiber gel like gel base coat and can you get allergie from it? Thx
Fiber Gel is a gel product, not a resin like dip products, so there's a chance you may have a reaction to it. We recommend consulting with your healthcare provider to determine what chemicals you are having the reaction to as this can help you determine what products you will have reactions to. Allergies can develop over time and with over-exposure, so it's possible to develop an allergy to any chemical if it is not applied properly.
Why are my fingers burning / blistering never had a problem till I started doing my own nails help please I have changed lights products I just don't know what more to do
If you are getting the product on your skin, you may be having a reaction. We would recommend consulting with your healthcare provider to determine what you are reacting to and then you can figure out a product that does not contain that ingredient. Also, in the future, it is very important that you keep any product off the skin so you don't cause more irritation or further reactions.
Yes, we have found that our newer concealer bases work great for adhering our full cover tips as well. Just remember you won't be able to soak off if you use those.
Greg you enthusiasm is always contagious! I purchased this kit when it first came out and am doing my first set tomorrow. I’m going to try some dimension on top any tips to avoid bulk?
If you are working over a full coverage tip, it can get bulky quickly, especially when doing dimension since the tip itself takes up a lot of thickness. For dimension, we would recommend using finer glitters/confetti/etc so you don't have to put more than two layers of top coat on. If you use bulkier embellishments (chunky glitters/large confetti/mylar), you will have to use more product to encase these and this can build bulk quickly.
All of our hard gels except for flex gel are hema free. It is a low concentration that generally does not lead to allergic reactions though. If you need an SDS/MSDS for these products, please email Shane@youngnails.com
We would consider it a full set since it is a service that can be permanent and filled. If you were just gluing the tips on, it would be a temporary extension.
Para quitarlo, recomendamos cortar la longitud hasta donde se encuentra la uña natural debajo. Luego, eliminaríamos todo el producto con nuestra lima electrónica o dejaríamos solo la capa fina de gel de fibra en la uña para mayor resistencia y poder volver a aplicar más gel de fibra o un nuevo juego si es necesario. Si no te sientes cómoda quitando todo con la lima electrónica, puedes quitar la mayor parte con ella y luego remojar con acetona.
I don't believe we have a video using that specifically, but you definitely can. You would want to prep the tip still like we do when adhering with fiber gel. Just remember that since it's hard gel, you won't be able to soak off completely.
No, it makes it easier to adhere the tips with our awkwardly maneuvering into the curing light but once the tip is on you want to fully cure in the curing light.
Hi, I’ve been shown by a YN educator here is Australia to apply 1-2 coats of fibre on the full nail tip before applying colour. Is it necessary? From your video you didn’t just took the shine off which I do. I guess no need to waste the fibre if it isn’t necessary to apply on top of the full cover tip
If you feel like the nail needs a little more durability, you can apply the Fiber Gel. However, if that extra strength isn't needed, you don't have to.
Considering investing in the set but I’d like to know first, if this is soak off? And second if I wanted to add a couple coats of the fibergel to build structure for clients who need it is that an option? Would you say this is one and done set and cannot be refilled also?
You can soak off fiber gel. With this service with the full cover tips, we would recommend cutting them down and removing as much as you can with an e-file before soaking. You can just use the fiber gel on clients who need the structure or the fiber gel with tips. You can also fill fiber gel either by itself or applied with the tips.
Yes you can use these with glue to adhere. If so, you would not use protein bond during prep. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-20cj9EZaTEk.html
I really loved your video. And I also have just bought the ManiQ fiber gel and it is amazing!! I do have a question, is it absolutely necessary to use the portable UV light to adhere the nail tip, when doing your own nails? What can you do in case you don't have the portable UV light?
@@breezyplace Yes you can, but you won't be able to soak off which those parts like the rest. We have also found that our newer concealer bases are good for adhering our full cover tips as well if you want to use hard gel instead of fiber gel from the beginning.
Can someone explain Fiber Gel to me Please!! 15 ish years ago when fiber gel first came out I was told it was a material inside the gel, little fibers. This added to the strength of the gel. I assumed the fibers were like from Fiber Glass nails, pieces of thin cloth like in silk nails, except instead of it being weaved into a cloth, this was the individual strands. I just had a conversation 2 months ago with local beauty supply who I use, that NO, the Fiberglass that was inside that gel - was Fiber Glass!! The kind you insulate your house with... That pink itchy stuff. Now she did go on to say the argument was, its always in a gel, on top of your nails - no contact. Except - what about when you filing it, filing it down, into shape, filing it off.... That dust has pink insulation in it, that your breathing in. And unless your in a hazmat suit, you will breath some... So your new Fiber Gel - can you please tell me what kind of fiber is it?? Also, is just having a nail tip glued on by gel strong enough? Strong enough for everyday life, and 3 weeks till a fill?
Fiber Gel+Keratin is a thicker consistency soft gel designed to enhance natural nails. It contains Keratin which contributes to natural nail health and micro fibers that form more of a "mesh" to give the gel more structure.

Hello my name is Marilyn Rivera lent Rivera and I received received the awesome kit Of the fiber gel L all I would like to know it's annoying do you guys carry The clear fiber gel I pray God you do I love this favorite show 5 or 12 it's awesome. Thank you and God bless you all 🙏💅
We always recommend cleansing with Swipe to remove any oils or contaminants on the nail and bring the nail to the proper pH level for the best adhesion. Applying Protein Bond will also help the adhesion for longer wear.
I watched this video when I first ordered my kit, and I just came back because I had some issues using it on myself. On clients, it worked perfectly. On my own hands, I had lifting within a few days. I prep my nails exactly the same way that I do my clients. Could the issue be that my hands are exposed to moisture pretty much all day, every day?
There could be several reasons your nails lift and your client's do not. You may be harder on your nails, especially as a nail tech who comes in contact with acetone or other chemicals, washes their hands more often (this can be drying to the nails), etc. It can also happen when you do your own nails if you aren't seeing the nail from the same angles as you do your clients. It can be harder to apply the product perfectly on ourselves and you may be getting the product too close to the cuticle without realizing. Sometimes when we do our own nails, we aren't always as detailed as we are with our clients.
@youngnailsinc tysm for the insight! Next time, I'll be more mindful of my application to see if that's the issue, if my jobs are the problem, or likely a combination of both lol
When you pre-design the nails, you need to make sure you are using colors/glitters that are somewhat translucent to let the light through. If you are uncertain if they are translucent enough, you can always mix an iridescent glitter to break up the color. This will allow the light through without changing the color.
Omg, where can I get this kit. Is it not on Amazon?? I struggle doing nails with any of the other items. So many times I have wanted to quit. But this looks soooo easy. I would love to get this!!
It is similar. Gel-X is a brand/product line of full cover tips applied with a soft gel. The biggest difference is that our Fiber Gel had micro fibers within it that helps create a woven "mesh" within the gel for additional durability.
Love the tip of not applying to the top and just using the natural nail but question: how can I prevent it from then sticking on the skin when I have a broken nail etc
Typically if it doesn’t hurt to cure it when i do is leave it to fill in the spot of what my natural nail would be. Once it hardens or cures or wtv u use just separate it from the skin eventually and you have a replacement for where your nail would be. Unless it bothers you or hurts to cure i wouldn’t worry.
I believe if you call customer service you can place an order and have it shipped to Canada, but you have to call YoungNails c.s directly and they will ship to Canada. That I know for sure because I've heard them talk about it during their lives on Twitch when others from Canada as the same question. Good luck. Stay safe and healthy. Xoxo ♥️ 🙏
@@youngnailsinc When I asked Nailbasics about new products, they told me they cannot order new products, they have to wait to be sent them, they get sent them after you guys do your launch. For older products that they don't carry and I want, then yes it can be ordered. I tell them what I want, they order it in.
@@catpride1323 Read my first comment and YoungNails also replied and said the same thing, they do ship to Canada but you have to call their Customer service at YoungNails to place the order. You can't place it online.
We don’t just yet but we would cut them down and then remove with our e-file like our other enhancement removal videos. If you wanted to soak off, we would remove as much as we could with an e-file and then soak off the rest.
