Young Nails president Greg Salo uses Mission Control Gel Paint, glitter, and black acrylic to create a solar eclipse nail with dimension.
We visited Young Nails HQ! Tracey Reierson, director of education at Young Nails, shows a complete manicure on NAILS executive editor Beth Livesay and guides us through her thought process when a new client walks through the door. She shows how to remove gel-polish with an electric file, a three-color glitter press technique, and nail stamping tips. This set is also featured on the Young Nails YouTube Channel in vlog #49, featuring an ombre nail with stamping on top: http://www.nailsmag.com/video/119910/mermaid-nail-art-at-young-nails-headquarters
