[lizad14]

Hi eveyone just want to know if anyone has used both and which you like better? Also if you have used either one what is your opinion on it? Thanks

I have not trained with young nails, but I had a demo nail at a show a couple of years back which really impressed me, so I got a try me pack and also bought a new brush from them. I didn't get on with it at all, the brush or the try me pack. The brush wasn't as strong as my NSI brush, it was ok for working with tips but rubbish for sculpting with, just couldn't move the product around the way I like and I just didn't like the results that I got from the try me pack. I first trained with CND and I have no complaints about their products. I now work with NSI, who I also trained with, mainly because the product sets a lot slower then CND and I faf about when I'm being arty :lol:
So my problem with the young nails products might just be that I haven't had their training. But for me, the white wasn't crisp enough and the durability wasn't as good.
But as I said that was just a try pack with no product specific training.

That says volumes, doesn't it?

I use CND and would highly recommend it to anyone thinking of using it or switching from another system.

Good luck!

Young is by far the best i have ever used, i agree it is hard to get used to because it is different from alot of other systems i have used..

The working time with the powder.
Easier to file than other acrylics.
xxx pink along with xxx white just looks amazing on any nail bed, no need to custom.

The list goes on..

I have had the same young acrylic brush now for the last three years and find it so hard to use any other..

It just takes practice and when u master it, you will never change..

Hi, i use Young Nails, i trained at college using this. I'm not able to make a comparison with anything else really but as a beginner i am not having too many problems at all with it, and any i do are my own fault and fixable with practise. It is easy to work with and plenty of time to perfect smile lines. I agree that its easy to file and i get a lovely finish with it.
And one major plus point is the customer service, it is fault less and they are so helpful.

what is the name of the brush, is the one with the wood handle or the metal handle ( the metal one costs more)?

What nsi brush do you have I feel I need a strong brush also?

Im a young nails user, have tried others but no white compared to the xxx white. what I love about it is you dont have to faff about with it.

Just place your bead and it already starts working for you. I have the chrome handled brush from youngs he is my best friend......
Have tried Nsi brushes but they dont last as long as my youngs chrome brush.
Customer service also is a big factor for me, I know I can ring them with any problem I have and they will talk me through it. I went to the Nec and my junior nail tech couldn't believe that they all knew me by name and how friendly and helpful they were, so young nails ticks all the boxes for me in product and customer service.

Hi I found NSI to set too quickly quicker than cnd what liquid do you use, and how would I know if the samples are speed they feel like they are?

Thanks
