I love seeing you doing your own nails, because I only do it on myself. You should do a video about tricks to do our own nails, how to place our (hands, arms,etc.) without causing us any pain!! It would be useful!! Thanks for all the good work!!
I do love the fiber gel and I use 101 white and sheer pink 102 for a French. Looks amazing! Clients are coming back with no issues. I would love to see the fiber gel in a pot because I hate the bottle. I use a gel brush and a detailer works great.
I have watched this video at least 2 or 3 times. I purchased the necessary products online. when they arrived, I immediately got to work with removing the top layers of my hard gel manicure; it was time to go in for a fill, and I thought I would try it out at home, on my own. I love how the hard gel manicure can last for so long, but I don't like the thickness of the nails. It always feels bulky, even though, my nails look incredible. Anyways, It did take me a little bit of time, about an hour after my prep work, but for the first time doing this myself, I have to say, that I am beyond impressed with how easy this is to do, the instructions are beyond clear and the tutorial videos posted are amazing! I will definitely be doing my own nails moving forward and look forward to more great content from Young Nails! Not only will this save me money, but I actually enjoy doing my own fingernails; now the salon will be for pedicures only. :-) I love the energy you all bring to the videos, too. I feel like I am hanging out with my friends when I'm watching them & I learn a lot, so THANK YOU FOR ALL YOU DO! And keep it up!
Thank you Tracy for explaining step by step how to properly do a fill. What instruments to at each step. I happen to be the type you person who really appreciates a full explanation and the reason for the step and what will happen if you don't follow your advice.
Thanks Tracy, for all the tips and tricks you use to do your own nails. All of that information was extremely helpful to me, I'm learning from RUclips videos how exactly to do them. I've found your tip and tricks plus explanation are extremely helpful.💅🎨✨✨✨😍👏
Thank you Tracy!! It’s super nice that you still do nails now and again to demonstrate for us!! Knowing what you must do otherwise as the GM, you are a rockstar!!! Hope you take time for You now and again!! Margaritas or wine are a staple for super busy women! 😉💕
Thanks for sharing your talent with us I love learning things to make me faster even though I’ve been doing nails for 40plus years I use mostly young nail and love it
Great video, super useful to be able to watch you do it and see I’m doing it correctly 😅 love fibre gel. Also, Tracey, you look especially beautiful in this video my dear
THANK YOU for the memo about stain resistant on soft gel when used for structure. That’s how I’ve been doing my nails and this makes so much sense to me. Pardon me while I swoop off to Amazon to grab a bottle of stain resistant. (By the way I can’t wait for this fiber gel to hit Amazon!!!!)
Thank you Tracy for all you teach us 😊💐💕💅 I Love the way you are telling us what to do so we will try harder and your colors are beautiful 💕 😍 Can't wait to see what is NEXT 🙄🤔😊 !!
You are my favorite. I’m dreading 😬 to do mine. I learn a lot from u thank ya. Wish I lived in Cali. I would so come take a class and hope someday to teach like u do. But I’m old. But I can still try. Lol. So excited u r back. Love from Kansas!!
I love the end result of this so much. You have addressed pretty much everything I have not liked about manicures. I wish you could save the problem of finding someone to do it for me, but I think I’ll just go for it myself.
I recently removed a set of long acrylic nails because I wanted to give my natural nails a break but I still wanted them to have strength because because I knew they would be a little weak. I work with my hands, so I need to have that added protection.. I am by no means a professional nail Tech kit's a professional nail Tech, however my mother is a retired nail Tech of almost 30 years , So I do have a bit of knowledge.. I decided to try gel on my natural nails and I absolutely love it. It's quick and easy to work with and I especially like using a colored gel . Something natural looking such as a nude or nude or a light nude is a light nude pink . I like that you don't have to do too much filing and and they look natural and fantastic.
Such a great video Tracey! Very informative and you needed it!! Lol!! I have been off work since before Christmas and another week to go, so I am really wondering what my ladies nails look like. That is great advice when you see it fix it, because I will be wondering how it is til they come in again. I love young nails products and this Fiber Gel is great!! I love your hair and you look tired!! Thank you and go take a rest!!
Great to see how fast you work, I always worry if it is what I want and I overthink it at every nail. I have to get myself reminded, when I do my own nails, what you always say in your video’s. Don’t overthink it. The electric file will sort things out in the end. Gorgeous nails.
As DIYer, I'd rather see you work with your non-dominant hand. Are your natural nails thin and soft or not so much? I DO love the way the Mani-Q fiber looks by itself.
I have a quick question? how often should I change out my 150 grit hand files if I'm just using them on myself? or even on clients? I'm new to this. thank you. Also like you say in the video, if you're doing these on your natural nail would it still have the same benefits if you apply some color to them? like apply some maniQ color polish over a base coat of this keratin fiber gel?
If you are working on clients, most state boards require you to dispose of your files after each client as they are not sanitize-able or disinfect-able. If you are working on yourself, you may get 1-2 uses out of it, but they do wear out and you should replace as needed when it doesn't feel like it's filing efficiently. Using the Fiber Gel as a base coat under gel polish is a great option to give the nail more durability than just a standard gel manicure.
Hello👋, could the fiber gel be used for short nails with a tip added? Thank you for all the education you provide! I am in Love with your products!! Happy to share that I have NOT been disappointed with any of my purchases.
The sanding band that you are using is a 150 grit zebra band correct??? Do you find you use that grit for almost everything or is there another grit you like? With ManiQ would you use a full cover tip for soft gel or just a full cover tip that can be used with all products?
The sanding band is a 150 grit which is a good medium that can be used for most techniques. It's the right grit for prepping as well as smoothing the surface of an enhancement. We do not recommend using the sanding bands (of any grit) to remove bulk with acrylic or hard gel. For this, we would recommend using the Safety Bit Coarse or the X-cut. The sanding band would have more tendency to build up heat and will take more work to remove the product. ManiQ should adhere to any tip as long as you properly remove the shine with a 150 file or medium arbor band.
Can you do Arylic application over the Mani Q with keratin as my natural nails are very damaged and are different lengths due to the chop salon didn't care about my natural nails and never cleaned her bits never changed the abour band or disinfectant on my hands or there's files very old but I didn't know any better at the time , I do now and I am trying to get my nails healthy again and I have a utube channel and I am changing my nails alot and I just want some added protection for my nail
The fiber gel is an added protective layer, it doesn’t physically strengthen nails. Acrylic and hard gel do the same thing, so there is no need to do both.
I am trying out a pop off method so I can create more content and I am really needing to protect my natural nails and I have your products Mani Q with keratin and I am wondering if it will help protect my natural nails 💅
I feel bad for Tracy and I know she’s quick at doing nails anyway, but I also think that because she shakes she does even quicker than she normally would. I remember when I would watch videos and I would see a lot of woman would be quite nasty with her and it’s wrong as them people were probably only that way with her because she’s really good at doing nails. She’s also straight to the point and I think habib (I hope I’ve spelt his name right) has a soft spot for her and maybe at the start relied on her expertise n experience in the nail world. He now has a bigger business so has more workers, but he’s kept her by his side in the work place and made sure he shows he hasn’t forgot her hard work and on going hard work.
Nuestro gel flexible es un gel duro y el gel de fibra es un gel blando. Si desea cambiar al gel de fibra, le recomendamos que elimine la mayor parte del producto que tiene puesto antes de aplicar el nuevo producto.
A video a cannot find anywhere and would love to see is REMOVING POLYGEL FROM YOUR OWN NON DOMINANT HAND PLEASE!! You guys are do good at breaking down into steps and i think your tutorials videos are superior on youtube.
It is a soft gel but it is thick enough that it won't bend meaning you can use stain resistant. If just maniq gel polish it would bend with your natural nails and then the hard gel top coats would crack.
@@youngnailsinc I bought both the concealer pink and peach synergy gel. I LOVE IT! Can you use mani q as a builder gel? Or is it only meant for a natural overlay?
When you are right handed and working with your left hand (on yourself) do you put it in reverse even if you own right handed drill bits? Sorry, I’m new lol
if you are right handed and you are e-filing your right hand using your left, you switch to reverse depending on which way your right hand is facing. If that makes sense. If you have your fingers bent downward into your palm like almost making a fist, you use reverse. If you work on your right hand while it is flat facing away from you keep it in forward. Bits that specify right or left handed will only work in one direction because of the way the grooves are made on the bit. If it doesn't specify, like out coarse safety bit, you can use it in forward or reverse.
How do i keep it smooth after a fill? For some reason ive been getting an uneven surface after a fill. First intial set looks amazing. But when they return after 3-5 weeks I must be doing something wrong
I have a question on this product. I really like it, but, sometimes when I do a fill, it seems rubbery. The person I use it on is really hard on her nails. There have been times when there is some lifting, the whole product peels off & it seems rubbery. What am I doing wrong?
It is a soft gel, so it is designed to be more flexible than a hard gel or acrylic. However, if it is feeling "rubbery," it could be that it is not being cured fully. If your lamp is old or you are curing less than 60 seconds, it may not be getting fully cured. Also, make sure you are prepping properly (push back cuticles, remove shine with 150 grit file/arbor band, cleanse with Swipe and apply Protein Bond).
Does it come in clear?? Why do you put 2 coats of the protein on before the fiber gel? Do you use a gel polish basecoat or leave the stick residue n apply gel polish color? Thx,
No it only comes in this color. 2 coats of protein bond for heavy lifters, but you don't want to find out later that someone is a heavy lifter so we put 2 on everyone. You can go straight into your gel polish color after curing the fiber gel.
If the tips are very short, it may work for you, however, Fiber Gel is a soft gel and isn't designed to build structure to a long enhancement. If you are wanting extra length, we would recommend sticking to acrylic or hard gel.
#young nails does Mani Q plus with keratin in it can I use it with a form if I want my natural nails to be active length can I extend the length of my free edge just a little bit?? Or is it just to be used for the natural nail and no extending
I just bought this mani Quin fiber in the jar and I can’t find anywhere that says how long to cure it for in either led or uv lamp.. it’s not listed on the product page on site. Can you please tell me how long to cure it for it either light please? 😜
Our UV/LED lamp is 48 watts and will cure all of the products we sell. Generally speaking, this will cure most products, but since we don't test our light with other brands, we can't guarantee that. Every product line is different and may require a different lamp, so the right wattage may depend on the product you use.
My Maniq fiber is peeling off after about 3 days. I can’t figure out why. I have all the right products. I’m getting the cuticles and shine good. I’m not flooding the cuticles with protein bond. It’s peeling off in the sides and free edge. What do you think I might be doing wrong? I’ll even shoot a video tomorrow on my application process if you wanna check it out. It’ll be on my channel.
This is sooooo good!🙌🏾 I want that fibre gel with keratin soooooooo badly😭😭😭😭, but I spent $500 on a sale and I haven't gotten my order. My orders keep going to the wrong place and keep having to be retrieved but that one order (since September) hasn't been found and no one is answering my emails. So unfortunately I had to make the decision to not order anymore products from YN even though I love you guys.🥺🥺🥺🥺 So, regardless of the fact that I need more nails for my Sally and some table towels I have to do what is sensible.😫😫 But great joooooob. I love, love!🥰🥰
Fiber Gel is a soft gel so it is designed to be used more on natural nails rather than an enhancement. It has more flexibility than a hard gel, so it will bend and move more with a natural nail. It also has synthetic micro fibers within the gel to give it that durability and flexibility on the natural nail. We do not recommend using it to sculpt long extensions as you would with a hard gel. Hard gels have more strength and durability for length. Either Fiber Gel or Synergy hard gel should be filled/rebalanced every 2-3 weeks for the best wear.
Would this product be helpful for nails damaged by an over zealous nail tech and her efile? My nails are literally paper thin and painful from the damage but finally starting to grow out slowly (usually they grow like crazy). I'm keeping them as short as possible, trimming the free edge regularly. I've been using Gelish Vitagel Recovery to try to give them some protection but it doesn't stay on unless I use a base coat which defeats the purpose of the Vitagel Recovery (if you believe what the bottle says 🙄) - - it will literally pop off the nail like a cheap press on nail despite proper prep including using your protein bond (essentially the Vitagel is useless, IMHO). I want to protect my nails from tearing as the damaged portion grows out.
Fiber Gel is a great product to use on damaged/over filed nails. It doesn't need a separate base coat or top coat (but if you prefer a high shine top, ManiQ Top Coat works great). The fibers in the gel give added durability and flexibility to support a thin/damaged nail. As the nail grows out, you can lightly prep/remove shine from the surface and fill/apply another layer without having to completely remove all of the product. When you do decide to remove the product, it can be filed off or soaked off.
No. 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. Swipe is our dehydrator/cleanser.
The fiber gel is an added protective layer, it doesn’t physically strengthen nails. Acrylic and hard gel do the same thing, so there is no need to do both.
I did! I was going in for major spinal surgery and did a pedicure with this, then gel polish. It’s been a month and the lil piggies look great ! Compliments from all the nurses too lol
@@BiNkY2BoNkA3RoX THANK UU! still cant walk without a cane but much better. I need help dressing and putting socks on so I’m glad I did the pedicure lol. This stuff is awesome :)

Thank you for the thorough step by step. I am enjoying fiber gel. Using clear and then regular gel polish on top.

Also like you say in the video, if you're doing these on your natural nail would it still have the same benefits if you apply some color to them? like apply some maniQ color polish over a base coat of this keratin fiber gel?

I needed this
I wish you would tell us the rpm on the efile as you change bits that’s crucial info for me right now learning to use on myself
Love the fiber gel will there be other colors for it? just wondering
Hopefully in the future it will come in other colors, but you can use it by itself or put all your gel polish on top of it.
yay! let's do some nails! ❤
Sorry if this is a silly question, but do all the Mani Q gels (even the fiber gels) soak off?
Yes, all maniq gels are soft gels so they can be soaked off.

Unfortunately, we can't speak on poly gel as we do not use it.
Is this a soft or hard gel? Also, if it is a soft gel, can we still use stain resistant? Thanks!
She used stain resistant top
This is why I am confused because I thought ManiQ was a soft gel.
It is a soft gel but it is thick enough that it won't bend meaning you can use stain resistant.
If just maniq gel polish it would bend with your natural nails and then the hard gel top coats would crack.
Thank you @youngnailsinc for explaining this to me!
Is youngnails ever going to make a builder gel system?
Never say never. At the moment we have our synergy gel line (hard gel). You should check it out 😊
@@youngnailsinc I bought both the concealer pink and peach synergy gel. I LOVE IT!
Can you use mani q as a builder gel? Or is it only meant for a natural overlay?
@@aluxisestrada2432 ManiQ in the tub is a soft gel. It's a thicker version of our ManiQ base that's in the bottle. You shouldn't build with it.
When you are right handed and working with your left hand (on yourself) do you put it in reverse even if you own right handed drill bits? Sorry, I’m new lol

How do i keep it smooth after a fill? For some reason ive been getting an uneven surface after a fill. First intial set looks amazing. But when they return after 3-5 weeks I must be doing something wrong
You can use your e-file to shape and remove bulk after curing the fiber gel and remove the tacky layer.
Need to explain. Which type of product you are using
This is our ManiQ Fiber gel. We are working on getting more in stock as soon as we can.
I have a question on this product. I really like it, but, sometimes when I do a fill, it seems rubbery. The person I use it on is really hard on her nails. There have been times when there is some lifting, the whole product peels off & it seems rubbery. What am I doing wrong?
I am having the same issue. Thought it was just me so I'd like to know why as well?
It is a soft gel, so it is designed to be more flexible than a hard gel or acrylic. However, if it is feeling "rubbery," it could be that it is not being cured fully. If your lamp is old or you are curing less than 60 seconds, it may not be getting fully cured. Also, make sure you are prepping properly (push back cuticles, remove shine with 150 grit file/arbor band, cleanse with Swipe and apply Protein Bond).
@@youngnailsinc Thank you! I thought curing might be the problem so I appreciate the verification very very much!
Does it come in clear?? Why do you put 2 coats of the protein on before the fiber gel? Do you use a gel polish basecoat or leave the stick residue n apply gel polish color? Thx,
No it only comes in this color.
2 coats of protein bond for heavy lifters, but you don't want to find out later that someone is a heavy lifter so we put 2 on everyone.
You can go straight into your gel polish color after curing the fiber gel.
Great video💕
Can you put tips on and put fiber gel on top? If the tips are fairly short?
If the tips are very short, it may work for you, however, Fiber Gel is a soft gel and isn't designed to build structure to a long enhancement. If you are wanting extra length, we would recommend sticking to acrylic or hard gel.
Can you do a tutorial of how to build apex on gel * hard gel * builder gel * fiber gel ❤Pretty please 🙏
Can you use slick pour with fiber gel? I've seen some videos where they use a brush to push slick pour into polishes.
ruclips.net/video/nXVAh_GlDHQ/видео.html
Can this be used to fix a small side break on a nail? Is it hard/strong enough? That’s a big problem sometimes.
Yes you can.
#young nails does Mani Q plus with keratin in it can I use it with a form if I want my natural nails to be active length can I extend the length of my free edge just a little bit?? Or is it just to be used for the natural nail and no extending
The fiber gel is a soft gel. It cannot be used to extend with.

😜
Most gels, including our fiber gel, need a full 60 second cure so when i doubt, cure for 60 seconds. 😊

Can be in LED OR UV ?
Our UV/LED lamp is 48 watts and will cure all of the products we sell. Generally speaking, this will cure most products, but since we don't test our light with other brands, we can't guarantee that. Every product line is different and may require a different lamp, so the right wattage may depend on the product you use.
So after protein bond , you don't need a base coat? Fiber gel acts as a base ?
Correct, no base coat needed
My Maniq fiber is peeling off after about 3 days. I can’t figure out why. I have all the right products. I’m getting the cuticles and shine good. I’m not flooding the cuticles with protein bond. It’s peeling off in the sides and free edge. What do you think I might be doing wrong? I’ll even shoot a video tomorrow on my application process if you wanna check it out. It’ll be on my channel.
How long are you curing the fiber gel for and how long have you had your light?
@@youngnailsinc I cure for 60 seconds. I bought this lamp in March of this year.
How are you prepping the natural nails?
This is sooooo good!🙌🏾 I want that fibre gel with keratin soooooooo badly😭😭😭😭, but I spent $500 on a sale and I haven't gotten my order. My orders keep going to the wrong place and keep having to be retrieved but that one order (since September) hasn't been found and no one is answering my emails.
So unfortunately I had to make the decision to not order anymore products from YN even though I love you guys.🥺🥺🥺🥺 So, regardless of the fact that I need more nails for my Sally and some table towels I have to do what is sensible.😫😫
But great joooooob. I love, love!🥰🥰
We are sorry about that. You can reach out to anna@youngnails.com and she can help you out. ❤️
Is fiber gel stronger then gel? And does it last longer ?
Fiber Gel is a soft gel so it is designed to be used more on natural nails rather than an enhancement. It has more flexibility than a hard gel, so it will bend and move more with a natural nail. It also has synthetic micro fibers within the gel to give it that durability and flexibility on the natural nail. We do not recommend using it to sculpt long extensions as you would with a hard gel. Hard gels have more strength and durability for length. Either Fiber Gel or Synergy hard gel should be filled/rebalanced every 2-3 weeks for the best wear.
Would this product be helpful for nails damaged by an over zealous nail tech and her efile? My nails are literally paper thin and painful from the damage but finally starting to grow out slowly (usually they grow like crazy). I'm keeping them as short as possible, trimming the free edge regularly. I've been using Gelish Vitagel Recovery to try to give them some protection but it doesn't stay on unless I use a base coat which defeats the purpose of the Vitagel Recovery (if you believe what the bottle says 🙄) - - it will literally pop off the nail like a cheap press on nail despite proper prep including using your protein bond (essentially the Vitagel is useless, IMHO). I want to protect my nails from tearing as the damaged portion grows out.
Fiber Gel is a great product to use on damaged/over filed nails. It doesn't need a separate base coat or top coat (but if you prefer a high shine top, ManiQ Top Coat works great). The fibers in the gel give added durability and flexibility to support a thin/damaged nail. As the nail grows out, you can lightly prep/remove shine from the surface and fill/apply another layer without having to completely remove all of the product. When you do decide to remove the product, it can be filed off or soaked off.
So if you use a thin coat of fiber gel over a natural nail what top coat can you use that won’t crack?
You would need to use on of the soft gel top coats, ManiQ or conversion.
@@youngnailsinc can I use ultimate finish?
@@Dama8D Yes you can, it should work but maybe make the fibr gel a bit thicker.
So, I've been using base before fiber gel. Is it not necessary to base before fiber?
No, it is not necessary.
❤️❤️❤️❤️
Is protein bond the same as using primer and dehydrator???
No. 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.
Swipe is our dehydrator/cleanser.
I’m twisting my phone, trying to see everything Tracey is doing!🤣🤣🤣 It’s not really working…
Can you use hard gel on top?
The fiber gel is an added protective layer, it doesn’t physically strengthen nails. Acrylic and hard gel do the same thing, so there is no need to do both.
Excelente

Can you do this service then add a gel color over it as well?
I did! I was going in for major spinal surgery and did a pedicure with this, then gel polish. It’s been a month and the lil piggies look great ! Compliments from all the nurses too lol
@shumm21 hope the surgery and healing went well! Great to know! Thank you!
@@BiNkY2BoNkA3RoX THANK UU! still cant walk without a cane but much better. I need help dressing and putting socks on so I’m glad I did the pedicure lol. This stuff is awesome :)
Yes, 100% ❤️
THANK You Tracy! my nails look very much like yours. Starting and my goal today is the "ending".
❤️
You need a flash cure light so you don’t have to pull that big ol light back and forth ❤️
Is this just a soft gel vs a hard gel?
Our fiber gel is a soft gel.
😃
Why am I just seeing this 😮
I literally just got my package 🌝

What is the top you used?
