“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. We’re respected for our next-level product innovation and education. Our mission is to bring you the best quality products and we’ll show you how to use them with incredible results. It’s really that simple.

Welcome to the Young Nails family!

People think we just do nails. They forget we do inventory, marketing, cleaning, washing, creating new designs, planners… i can keep going!! Or work is not 9-5. Even after we finish a day at the salon/studio, we are at home or the nail supply store thinking and planning for the next days. It takes a lot of dedication and discipline. And all of it! ( except folding my trillion towels!)

[WildWestNailBarn]

Thank you, Karen!! I am absolutely in love with how easily this chrome applies and how smooth and easy it is to use!! I shock myself every time I use them now 😂❤

[Angies_.nails_]

This is gonna help me better with chrome. I've had so much problems in the past so I put them away. I just might bring them out again. 😊😊

[KPolinger]

Oy. Even Karen’s second nail looks better than some of my chrome attempts 😿 Gotta work on my shaping and finishing!

[dianamcshan]

Wouldn't adding all of the extra layers of SR make the nail a lot more bulky? What would be the best way to insure I wouldn't lose the shape? Loved the tutorial btw ❤

[Sweetamber]

Nail teching for over 5 years and chrome is still a hit or miss. 😮‍💨😤

[GabbyJimenezTunez]

Why did you use stain resistant top coat instead of Finish top coat gel?

[keesimeehan]

So you need to use a top coat that leaves no tacky surface? I have a No Wipe top coat, which I'm pretty sure doesn't leave a tacky surface. So that would work, right?

[theerealrae]

do u wait for the nail polish and stuff to dry before putting the powder on the nail?

[kayy_]

Thank you for such awesome advice! Can Karen tell us what is the glitter mix she has on her thumb? It’s

[blesseddragonflynailart]

Why do you change the topcoat to stain resistant instead of continuing to use ultimate finish??

[misterbadass]

Oh man, I need to get some of this stuff. Can I just use a UV flashlight to cure the polish? I think this would be perfect to use on a 1/24 scale rc undercarriage. The drive-shaft and suspension links, 🤔 could probably do wheel rims, too. Unlike paint, it'd be resistant to scratches.

[melf]

Can you use black acrylic powder for the enhancement, then the top coat (skip the 2 coats of black polish) to keep it thinner? Or the black gotime color (since it has nontacky shiny finish) instead of 2 coats of color + top coat (again, to keep it thinner)?

[jessicanuslein]

What can I do when a week later it’s rubbing off?
Is it the top coat or is it the chrome I’m using?? Application is smooth and mirrored but lasts a week and starts to rub off.
I top coat (wipe free) chrome then top coat again.
A week later it’s rubbing off

[anniema]

whats on your left thumb? 🥰🥰😍😍😍 beautiful 😍😍😍

[Marta_Maeldeis]

I find very short nails struggle with chrome the worst. There is no free edge for the gel to wrap around so it flakes off with no effort - any tips please?

[SpreadKindness]

Do you wipe off the tacky layer before applying second coat of stain resistant?

[luxy]

Erm you did two layers of the polish on the first nail but only did one coat on the second nail. Why is that ?

[jazzysnazzxoxo]

Not adding base coat before top coat. Would that be ok?
