Do you complete step 4 and then buff the nail before you apply gel polish?

How dies that go with length and strength

haralynn do you not need the activator for this and how long does it last doing this method? I have a lot of Kiara sky powders and wonder if I can my powders with young nails base.

Basically the glue, gel, acrylic has the same ingredient

So no activator needed? Just gel base, dip, gel base, dip and gel top coat?

Mine comes out thick too..

Nice!

awesome!

Riight!!! This is my fav method, I hate using the resin and sticky bottles

Chanda jenkins so this technique works well for you, I’m going to trying this tomorrow

shernica fields yes.. even as afull sey with tips.

Chanda jenkins what is your step by step for this method with tips?

Stephanieee1130 same steps as here. I make a clear bar as she did but I mix my own colors.

Stephanieee1130 also on myself i perform a full set with the powder and hard gel. And use gel polish, .that wayyy for fill all i have to do is file color off and fill in.

Jaxx jaxx I have too.

Awesome!!

Hey I have been looking for any kind of info on this method and I’m stoked to find your comment! Are you doing one or two coats of the clear powder first? Do you need to file at all before you put the gel polish on? Lastly...is this lasting longer for your clients than a traditional gel manicure? TIA.

I prep as normal, do 2 coats of clear, and then I do a light file with a 180 grit, just to rough it a little, I then I do a base coat etc... It has been awesome for those who struggle with a gel polish due to their job etc), and yes 99% get minimum 3 weeks out of it. Also some use it to grow out their nails, especially nail biters and pickers, as some find they can pick maniq of (which I try first), and they cant with the slick pour, so its great to have that option for biters and pickers :).

Jaxx Thank you so much....one more thing....are you charging the same price for this method (clear SP & colored maniq) as you do with colored slick pour-like what they are doing here ☝🏼

The purple is one of our new summer colors 😍😍

YoungNailsInc what is the name of the pink and purple? I’m about to place an order and want both

Here's one we think you'll like! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/l7OShcSZnZysfXU.html

@@youngnailsinc I will have a look. Thank you!

That is awesome!!

❤️❤️❤️

What a great idea! Easy peasy!

Awesome!! That is a great idea 😊

nice!

I love this method super easy and saves you time.... I'm also using normal acrylic powder and gel base coat. I'm also from SA. Thank you for sharing this method. Love it.

Sonia Caraballo greattt. Idea omgg 😮😮🤩

Yes!!!!!! I experience dip flu too so I want to try this so bad!!! I spent so much money on dip powders and thought It was a total loss because of the horrible effects I experienced. I hope this solves it. Thank you YN!!!!

we will be at premiere orlando in june!

haha for sure

I’m allergic to dip resin so this method is a lifesaver!

If you have hard gel why do you wanna use acrylic too?

It's our Slickpour color Venus Rising, but it's no longer available. Another good option is Tart and Tangy. www.youngnails.com/products/tart-and-tangy-fluorescent-pink-coral-color-dip-powder

Nice

Thank You!!

She said she files all the way down to the base coat then reapply not so much a fill as remove and reapply

Thank You!!

Thanks for watching

Thanks! Happy you liked it

If there's a specific color you're having challenges with, please dm us pictures of the results you're having. Please keep in mind that sheer colors still have color to them and they are not completely clear. If you are looking for a clear powder, Under The Radar is a completely clear.

When applied as we show, the product will be translucent enough for the product to fully cure.

Have you checked with you state board? My friend let her license lapse and all she had to do was retest. It had been like 7 years or so as well.

I let my license lapse over 20 years ans i just took the test again. Its so much easier now, since you dont need a live model anymore. .

I'm in Florida, Iet my license expire in 2002 and just renewed it in 2018 without taking the course again and didnt have to even retest. I just had to pay a reinstatement fee, take a 4 hour online hiv course and completed and submitted a form and received my license 6 weeks later.

The nails Tracey is wearing in this video are acrylic, and there are several videos of her doing her own.

exactly!

How is this easy to remove?

How do you remove it the best way?

❤️❤️

💜💜

@@juliechristie2105 is your top coat dip clear or gel top coat which you then file then apply another layer of gel top coat?

@JoanneRichards clear gel top coat, file and buff then apply another coat.

Thank You!!

No, this is done with our conversion base and top coat. It is formulated to absorb the powder this way. Both are available on our website, youngnails.com

awesome!

Naturally _ Me777 I do this exact procedure on mine, which can be done with any gel base coat you cure, not hard gel, on my natural nails. However I do use the system solidify (different brand), between layers if the powder has glitters in it and needs a clear dip layer on top to protect the glitter from buffing, then top coat.

I sometimes use this technique with clients. If they want enhancements I use a tip. You don’t need to use hard gel or acrylic first. The nails are very strong when they are finished 😊

I do this method all the time on the natural nail, and have done pretty much since day 1. It works amazing, my clients never have issues :).

Carla van Miltenburg how do you get the apex on it.. Do they not come out flat? X

I found this--it's the Cuccio system, but I assume the method would work with any system. Scroll down to almost the bottom of the page; it talks about Building an Apex. www.adeldirect.co.uk/blog/2017/06/how-to-cuccio-nail-dip-system/

nice

Can you help me? So i tried this method and it worked and looked great but the next day, all nails were cracking...any suggestions?

I believe it is Silk Peony.

if I am going to use a gel polish over SlickPour I use a clear or nude color as my base so that I only have to fill the nails when they come back. Saves me from having to remove and reapply

Awesome!!! You will love doing it this way😊

Nope the chemistry for conversion is just a bit different from standard gel polish which we also carry. Our standard gel polish is called maniQ

When we lay down that first layer of base and cure, it’s so that when the customer comes back in we can file the color off with our e-file and only have to go to that layer of clear and then repeat our process 😁

YoungNailsInc Fantastic. Thankyou.🙂

We have not tried using slickpour with any other gel systems. We have tried it with several of our gel systems and found that it works best using Conversion Base and Top Coat.

Cindy Cadman I have Gelish as well. It probably works best to keep within one system, but we [talented] hobbyists CAN'T GET YOUR SCHTUFF, YN ... sigh... so we have to make due with less than The Best. [tiny violin ...] ;)

yes you can on amazon :) .@@tunnasch

Yes you can! Just keep in mind that it could add bulk to your nail. Try making the acrylic part a little thinner than normal so when you add the dip powder it isn’t as bulky.

Nice

yes you can apply the clear and then gel polish over the top.

When you are using the Conversion Gel, we recommend prepping the nail as you would any other enhancement (push back cuticles, remove shine and cleanse with Swipe). After cleansing, adhere your tip, cut, shape and blend it. Using the medium sanding band or 150 grit file, remove the shine from the remainder of the tip and dust the nail off with a dry manicure brush. Carefully use a lint free wipe with Swipe to cleanse the natural nail again, but avoid getting Swipe on the tip as this can smooth the surface out again. Apply a coat of Protein Bond to the whole nail and then you can begin your application with the Conversion Base and Slick Pour powders.

Make sure to rough up the surface before applying the gel top coat. 😊❤️

Buff the dipped nail then apply a primer, then a base/bonding gel, then the gel top coat!

tack free no wipe gel top coat is different, and it won't peel off when used with dipped nails.

I agree with grace, mine was still peeling off in spots and the first time i used a no cleanse top coat my clients nails never peeled!

It is very strong but it is almost like a hybrid nail flexible like gel but durable like acrylic because of the powder

That’s what I figured! I can’t wait to try it! Thank you

Step 4 is a top coat. Email katie@youngnails.com and she can help troubleshoot with you.

Slickpour works best with Conversion base and top coat 💖

haralynn I have the conversion system because when I do an overlay using this system it stays on long as well as the gel nail colours are so nice. I ran out of caption top coat recently and than used Gelish top coat cause that’s what I had at the time and use. The result was good and no chipping. I think you can use a good quality top coat of any brand and than cure it in a lamp. The conversion top coat is shinier than Gelish. I also use CND system and top coat is quality, durable and tough. Any top brand works as long as you cure in a lamp either UV/LED. Young Nails are promoting their product and not others. Also conversion top coat is thick and don’t need lots, I know cause I tried different ones.Its all trial and error.

Conversion is our only gel that absorbs the powder this way.

In this video, Tracey used our conversion top coat. You would want to use it first in athin layer but then you can apply stain resistant on top of that.

I really don't want to have to put resin on my nails and I don't know of any other brands that have a system that use gel polish in placement of resin. Please someone help me? 😭

Yes we manufacture the products used in this video. our website is www.youngnails.com and the gel we used in this video is Conversion base and top coat and the powders are called Slickpour

Yes you can.

Not when used with conversion no

YoungNailsInc ok I’m going to purchase it now. I use regular dip liquids

Yes it can be.

our dip powders are a finer milled acrylic powder

You don't have to apply that extra base coat, but we recommend it for a couple of reasons -Gives the nail a little more structure and durability -When using colored powders, the extra base layer keeps the color from absorbing into and staining the natural nail -You can either file off or fill your product every few weeks. If you choose to file your product off, you only have to file down to that base layer, not all the way to the natural nail. This can avoid any excessive filing on the natural nail every time you change out the color. Here's a great video to show you a tip application, but we don't have one with a Slick Pour application over the tip. It would generally be the same application as over a natural nail but you may need to add another layer through the stress area and also make sure you completely remove the shine from the surface of the tip if you are using the Conversion Gel method.

I totally appreciate your time and information! I feel more convenient in my manicures and able to educate my clients. And I can give my clients more choices. If you ever do classes in the Central Valley I’m totally in! 💝

Venus Rising 😊

YoungNailsInc thank you

So pretty! I want that color too!

Not great it doesn't absorb the same

Swipe is used to cleanse the natural nail, mani q cleanse is used to remove the tacky layer from gel polish. Yes you can use slickpour with our monomer.

@@youngnailsinc If I dont have ManiQ cleanse is it ok to just you 90%IPA

Thank You!! Love you!!
