Suzie's like the teacher u accidentally call Mom. She so patient 😊
**edit** Gee, thanks for all the likes 😘Hi Suzie!
Thanks for the video. 🌹
MiSsESs KiiSsEs right?!?
Right!!
This made laugh but you are right!!!
MiSsESs KiiSsEs that’s actually the best description of her. I love her
I'm so glad you showed us this! My mom used to get silk nails a long time ago, and since she stopped going to that salon I've never seen it done anywhere! I honestly thought I was crazy since I was so little when I was watching the nail tech. She had the sheets where she had to cut each individual nail out, but they always looked fabulous!
I watch these videos like I even know how to paint my right hand
Same😂😂
It really be like that💀
Me too!
Charlene .W. Bahaha I just did my left flawlessly, right looked like a massacre.
I watch them thinking I can paint my left hand without making a mess when the video is over.
Suzie I’m so glad to see you use these, I’ve not had anyone ask for them for over 10yrs now, when I started my training in 1995 we were taught Gel, Acrylic, fibreglass & silk wrap, I thought they were the best looking nails of the 3 especially the shine after everything was complete, I’ve still got some packets of fibreglass & few packs of silk & the pre cut ones in my nail drawer, they aren’t any use now as the sticky part goes, I only use my fibreglass for broken nails now as they are great for fixing a broken nail then I carry on working with whatever the client requires over the top💅🏽💅🏽💅🏽
I was having an anxiety attack and I tried to distract myself by watching youtube. Suzie your voice made me feel so calm an focused
Yeah, back in the 80's, when I was in manicuring school, we used silk on tips and then applied the acrylic. Thank you so much for doing this video on wraps and mentioning the many ways you can use it. Never thought of building a nail with it . All good to know. Your the best!
Suzie I love your videos! I gave myself a poly gel sculpted full set the other day based off just watching your videos and have gotten so many compliments!!
I also started hair and nails in the late '80s. Fiberglass had just come out and I had been using silk and acrylic for a couple of years before that. Doing silk extensions were super easy if you use a light sprinkle of nail powder between layers of silk and glue. The same with fiberglass. I found that of the wrap systems, silk was my favorite.
I was the first and only gel nail tech on Long Island in the late '90s when it first came out. That became my product of choice but I still used whatever medium my clients preferred.
I retired from salon work in 2001 but have always kept up my license and continuing education.
Thanks for your videos. I really enjoy them!
Thank you so much Suzie for your lovely and informative videos!! You’ve inspired me to build my first ever set of nails a few days ago (which are holding up so nicely!) You’ve awaken my passion for nails and now I have future clients lined up for when I open up my private acrylic nail extension salon. My city has a serious lack of quality nail techs and I can’t wait to build up my skills enough to make a career out of my passion. I’m forever great full to you ❤️
I would love to try these on myself!!! Thanks Suzie for another awesome and informative video!!!!
Great repair method. I started doing silk and fibreglass in 1997. The secret to doing a beautiful natural looking silk nail is get it close to the edges but not touching and fibreglass will hold with it away from the cuticle. Use a tip and only one layer of either glass or silk, it works like rebar, very strong. Creats beautiful natural thin nails. You need to use resin with the activated which is the smelly stuff and avoid breathing it in; don't lean nover it. It's toxic to the lining in sinuses with continued use. My partner experienced this. She did silk and glass for decades. I love your programs, so hard to find a tech who doesn't cut corners these days and I need one here in northern Canada. I'm retired now with worn out hands :-)
Revena Ashkebee with the same wraps that she's using here. I currently have 3 cracked natural nails all repaired with wraps
I love acrylics but can't keep up with the fills 😔.. and my natural nails keep chipping! Just need that little bit of extra strength that nail Polish can't provide.
3:35 she got possessed by a British person for few seconds lol
Tricia’s World 😂☠️
She does it alot💝 love it.
I love Learning frm Suzy. She's always on point when it come to nail career.
Suzie - Could you do a video that shows us how you do your right hand? I'd love tips for using my non-dominant hand! Thank you so much for all you do!
Hello Susie, when I first started in school for nails in 1989/90 i was taught to do Fiberglass nails & acrylic the Fiberglass was a strengthener with nail tips because of how thin the nails are with just the fiberglass. I love watching your videos. Keep them coming.
I love how natural that looks
In the very early 2000's I was working at a beauty college and was taught that the wraps were to be used to strengthen (or repair) natural nails, to "wrap" an existing nail. Always seemed a bit fussy to me. Interesting video.
love using wrap nail ,fixes broken nails pretty fast and durable. Saves your natural nail
The first time ever getting my nails done when I was 16 was silk wrap nails. My mother did not want me to get acrylics. She thought I was too young.
mmmcookie23 omg I’m 16 and get acrylics done all the time. Always wanted to try something else but can’t find nail techs that don’t exclusively do acrylics
I love watching your videos I've been watching for years now
You're like the aunt I always wanted💕
I love your videos Suzie ! They are always informative. I’m one those lucky ones you mentioned who have long natural nails.😁 I use silk wraps on my nails every time I break/ crack them. But instead of glue n activator, I use IBD gel resin and they last me up to 2 weeks....even with swatching polishes and doing all chores. I even sometimes have salvaged my completely broken apart nail using silk wraps.
O wow! You’ve been a nail technician since the ’80s! Wow! You’re the OG! 🤩✨✨✨✨😍😍😍😍
I just graduated nail school 2 years ago and am a licensed Nail Tech. We learned silks and fiberglass in school but only over tips with gel or acrylic over top and as a nail repair. Love the video and yes the activator is harsh ha ha! Much love from California ❤️
Miss Suzie, thank you so much for this tutorial. You explained everything so much better than my nail instructor did. 💖💋
hi suzie. i’m shay and i have a very important question to ask you... my prom is next saturday April 13th and i want my nails done. a little background about my nails... my natural nails are really long,strong and super pretty...but a couple days ago my thumb nail broke in half and i had to cut all my nails to the same length now they are really short and i want my nails long for prom cause this is my senior year..so what i’m trying to ask is what should i do for my nails to be long and pretty for prom but still keep my nails healthy so that i can wear my natural nails.
everyone, can you please like this for me so that suzie can see it and answer. thank you.
p.s. if any of you all have advice for me about what to do with my nails.. that would be really helpful.
Get press ons for that day only easy
Go get acrylics or gel from a reputable salon. If you wanna DIY, try the Kiss Dip Kit. It’s easy and lasts a good while, but may take a few hours to apply for beginners. You could do press or glue-ons, but long lengths are harder to find and you risk popping them off. Glue-ons are painful and damage your nail when they get knocked off too.
Dipping powder is what might be healthier for your nails just because the removal is easier and less damaging to your nails
U can do dip nails for that day
TH-cam dip nails u don't new those expensive kits either
I love silk wraps, had them for years!
I’ve been repairing and doing my nails myself since I was very young not watching videos nor reading about it but just by creativity. I started even using bounty paper towel to repair cracked nails or missing parts of broken nails etc I started using silk wrap since I think the late 80s cus my nails grow long but I have never used silk wrap to enlarge nails cus it’s very thin
So happy silk is back 👌🏾👍🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 using silk I used to go back every 6to 7 weeks. Much better than acrylic or gel. 💖👍🏽
ok there's something in your voice and the way you speak that's so relaxing, and you do this in a totally natural way... you have a gift. (suggesting opening an asmr nail education... just.. it)
Hi. I grew up with my mom doing fiberglass nails on herself and some clients. I never saw her do this without a tip. It was really interesting to see you do it right to the nail bed without a tip.
Oooo👻 I’m a voice from the future 😱🤣. I’ve made the tissue ones before, with the same glue, then did an acrylic overlay. It makes a great “form” when you don’t have one ☺️
Suzie, I love your channel, I’m watching all your vids with great enthusiasm. I wish you had a school here in Toronto. I would luv to receive formal training from you. I love that you have an amazing teaching/friendly/motherly feel and passion for teaching. Not many people have that. You’re a natural born teacher.
I am not “school” trained, but use to do nail approx 15 yrs ago, to put myself through nursing school.
I hope one day, I can visit Vancouver and attend one of your 5 day courses. I want to do the “Suzie” Toss over the shoulder 🤣
Luv from Toronto.
In the 90's my baby sitter got silk nail fill in every week. I used to love going with her after she picked me up from school. I'd get a manicure while she got her fill in. I remember them using that old fashioned acrylic fill in powder that you sprinkle out of a little tube to make it stronger. I remember when they started using gel products because they used the new uv lamps. I always wanted to use the fancy lamp, but thats a different story lol. I remember she ALWAYS made sure people knew that they were her REAL nails, just with wraps over them lol, as if that mattered. Anyway, she was the best and I miss her.
Hi. I actually used the silk wraps a bit differently. I placed just one thing layer and then sculpted builder gel over it. I
Think as a whole nail set, it’s meant to replace the sculpture nail paper where as you still have the paper, which the silk wrap still there. But this is a new way to use it. Thank you for this
I LOVE YOU SUZIE! and Thank you so much for the videos!
Very popular here in Québec Montréal but ive developed an allergic reaction very very bad to the spray you used its called catalizer i switched to gel no more allergie but when i have a quick repare to do i use the silk and base coat gel cure and it does the job thank you for all of you re videos i really appreciate
I used to get fiberglass all through the 1990s. She'd do clear tips, and two layers of fiberglass and they'd last four weeks of my working in a busy sports bar. I want to try it with gel, to see if I can get my gels thinner. ❤
I just graduated with a 4 year degree and don’t really want to go into that field anymore.
You make me really want to go back to be a nail tech! I really shouldn’t lol I just need to get a decent job and buckle down but dang I love nails.
I used to do fiberglass nails alot in the 90s. I used Backscratchers was the brand. It was quite daunting starting a new system but I was young but I had about 10-15 customers that just loved them. Many of them started using fiber because they were trying to repair a broken nail and then eventually, all their nails were fiberglass. But instead of trying to create an extension with the fiberglass, and wasting fiberglass, I would just glue a tip on and put the fiberglass over the tip. My mother was one of those customers. She had issues with acrylic and allergies so we had to find another avenue. I actually loved doing the fiberglass. If you did it correctly you didn't have to worry about lifting, they were thinner, you could actually build the nail as well with the fiber. So they weren't flat looking if the customer's nail was flat. I still love fiberglass and I have very long, Natural Nails and when I have to do a repair, I use the fiberglass. You actually don't have to activate in between each glue layer. You can just put the glue on and then build the fiberglass, put the glue over the fiberglass, just make sure the glue seeps through all the layers of fiberglass and then spray at the end. That saves on activator and glue.
In design this is actually a lay up technique! Its how chairs , cars and seats are made! They need the strenght of the weave ( i have a bunch at home) its so cool that there are different applications
I’d love to see you try the fiberglass ones that are all over Instagram. Those are crazy!
Personality off the charts!
About 15 years ago, I wore fiberglass nails. I like them because they could be thin without having to file them down to get them that way.
I trained in fibreglass 12 years ago. It is the weakest form of extension but the most natural looking. All you need is a tip and one layer of fabric and an extra bit over the stress area. Be careful you don't spray too close either as it can burn xx
I swear you’re the best and most patient teacher in your videos. I love watching your videos. Very relaxing.
This really would be a great option for people who want to maintain their natural nails as they grow out but they just aren’t strong enough on their own. When I was in Cosmo school, I played around with all kinds of techniques. I did a full set of fiberglass over a tip. It was a task!!! I made some mistakes but covered pretty good with polish. I do agree that if someone wanted to do these for real length and strength, a builder gel would be best. I often think o want to grow my nails out but I’m so impatient and revert right back to acrylic with tips.
I went to school for nails a few years ago (never got certified after graduating, I just realized it wasn't for me XD ) but wrap nails were my favorite. I just think they feel and look more natural! Now I hardly pay any attention to my nails, but I think I would if I could find a tech that did wraps!
Osha American regulations prohibit making fiberglass airborne. Take it from me, I work in a ship yard. We encounter it a lot and it's a big no no handworking fiber glass for industrial use!!!
@Educated Melanin you are right, there should he more education on this instead of people only having certifications in it. Like, put it on the label instead of the useless crap or plain make room for it.
They have a gel glue which might be thicker ,and if not you can use the gel builder. The stuff they use to mold flowers and things on the nails. Use uv/Led light to cure.
i was always taught that you only need 1 layer of fiberglass and one stress peice at the end where the free edge starts to leave the nail plate. and that the reason you leave the space is because the fiberglass & resin expands when you use the activator. also if you use resin instead of just nail glue, its so solid as nail extensions. (just what i was taught)
Ok now that was interesting I knew about this but I only used it to fix a nail. Nice to know you can use it as an enhancement as well.
My high school had a trade school in it that had a cosmetology program. I learned fiber glass nails there in the 90s.
Suzie, when using the ASP system did you notice any heating when spraying the activator?
Can you do a video about the styles & how they originated & what is best for long wear. I.e. square tips works well for people that work with their hands, flipping freight.
I was trying to grow my natural nails but they are incredibly thin. I tried these products on a tear. They were horrible! At first I thought ok its going to hold but by the next night the tear was open and the product was lifting. And like yours it wasn’t very attractive. Now I’m glad to know it wasn’t just me and my lack of being a professional! Thanks Suzie
Exactly👍🏼
Oof, tfw Susie uses beautiful fine silk as a duster! 😅
I only use wraps (tea bag) for mending a broken natural nail. This seems like a lot of work for building length!
You can use the back of a nail form instead of the tweezers to curve the tip area like a c- curve.
The way i learned silk/fiberglass was to do one layer of resin, a stress strip across where the free edge meets the hyponichium, layer of resin, a silk/fiberglass strip, 3-4 layers of resin, finish with smoothing and buff to a shine or top coat. Never seen it layered this way but the ones we did in school were SO FRAGILE. I mean they cracked just by being in a bag with other practice nails. So maybe layering them would make them better, although it would take ages for a full set.
I always liked a silk wrap. I don't feel a wrap strengthens my natural nails. In the long run they disturb the nail layer, for me. So I use lots of polish, I polish the underside and...
Thanks for your vids, they're always informing and professional.
Lol you started in the 80s and that's when I started growing my nails and taking care of them, as I never knew you could get fakes 🤷♀️💅🏽❣
except for the fake plastic ones😅😎
Hey suzie when you add the glue on the dry you get a clamp that holds it in place :)
Hi, I’ve been watching now and then so I thought I should commit. I have so much trouble with acrylic but I love it.
I would like something I could master. Have you seen the nails that appear to be fringed on the bottom? How is that done?
I've done and worn fiberglass nails in the past.. however it was a tip, the fiberglass, and a gel like top layer.. thanks for sharing 😊
P.S can you please order polly gel from Amazon and try it. Thanks
I first had silk nails in 1998 all used in Uk I love them.
My dear suzie, i loved ur videos for nails & help me a lot for me as the beginner...
I usually use a tissue wrap for nails for strenghten of my nails, coz i dont hv silk wrap at all. But it works !
is it save ? Is it just a the same ? The tissue wrap nail and the silk wrap ??
Thankyou ... 😇🙏
THANKS FOR EVERYTHING SHOW FOR US.......ITS A VERY IMPORTANT.....
I've heard of silk and fiberglass wraps for damaged nails, but wasn't aware of tea bags and coffee filters for the same purpose. Maybe I should have tried that before trimming my peeling nails short :(
I love it, I really should try it and thanks for the idea.🇦🇺
Thanks for the video! I always wondered about fiberglass nails. I have been interested in the Brazilian technique which uses fiberglass strands(?) and gel in place of the glue/resin.
How would one remove the fiber glass/silk sheets from the nail? I know you can use acetone/filing to remove acrylic from the nail plate, but if you file the fiber glass then the dust particles would be everywhere. Resulting in congestion of the particles.
Instead of multiple layers of fiber. Try using 2 layers of glue, activator, buff, leave dust, then repeat. Use the glue to add apex, buff, leave dust and do 2 overall layers of glue to finish.
Hi Suzie! Love your advice! Where can I buy the finger rest you are using in this video?
I dont use the glue and activator ...i put the nail wrap into the base coat and then add a second base coat...i use mine with tips ...it helps keep them on... ie it doesnt let the tip split off then i add my builder gel
If you're a first timer at working with your nails what do you recommend?
When Suzie says "I could build a nail out of flour and water you might say" and you see a video pop up "Suzie builds cornstarch nails" 😂
Do you have tips for someone getting their nails done for the first time?
Oh man, this would take me two years to do one hand 😄
Looks awesome
Her :don’t file it that much also her : files it till death 💀💀
Here in Brazil we use it with bilder gel
I have very curved and used the glue, activator, and silk, and it pulled my nail flat. It was rather painful, I went back to patching with my own acrylic mixture, and now switch that off with 123 nails from Max Estrada.
Do they use this method to make the nails look natural or it's just for the repair?
Can I use just fiberglass to make the pointed tip nail(my nails are super short) or can I also add an acrylic tip?
I remember linen was used to build lentgth, it was called linen wraps
I did nails like this a few years ago, and they lasted 2 weeks!
If you like your nails shorter but they are prone to breakage, is acrylic or gel a good idea? All the lumps amd bumps get on my nerves, too. I hear as you age, you get ridges and bumps. And my hands are euper small. I used to be a nail biter so I have to live with the nails I have.
Does... Does Suzy not actually know how to do these properly 😰😰😰
She didn't do to baddly, read my comment . I did silk wraps as my preferred nail overlay, it takes a bit of practice,but over all she did very well.
I'm having teenage flashbacks! 😂 Great vid
Hi Susie. Can you do a video on led/UV lamps from Amazon? The difference between watts, curing time, and price. I'm a beginner and your videos are helping me a lot. Thanks 😁
Fab tutorial thanks xx
When I was in school we learned how to use these. Typically you use a tip and only one piece of fiberglass. Then you had to spray the glue and activator repeatedly until strong. I used to get them myself because they were the closest thing to my natural nail.
I use acrylic powder with the base coat of my gel polish, it’s how I keep my natural nails long and strong 😁👌🏻
I learned this in nail tech school in 1994 using linen wraps. I can probably still do a better linen extension than acrylic extension. Haha!
Is fibreglass a good alternative for acrylics and gel? I'm allergic to both gel and acrylic and the itching I get from them is unbearable, but I love wearing and making nail extensions.. I really need to find an alternative I'm not allergic to!
Could you use a form underneath while laying the sheets so that it comes out curved or would it stick to the form?
You certainly could
Hi im really somewhat new to this vut ive ne ver used gel in my life nor acurlic can u give me any tips on easy things to do for someone who is starting out on this kind of stuff?
ughhhhh yes I’ve been waiting for this video!
What kind of nail do you recommend for a first timer???
Thanks Suzie for letting me know how I can do this kind of nails. 😝 I don’t like it, but they have got also the strings that you can attach on your nails
In bunches + clips work that the same as this products or otherwise?
Please tell me about this stuff, so I can get work with it. Because I’ve got it from a friend of mine too do my nails with it.
Thanks for your help, and your beautiful voice and videos 💅🏻🙋🏻
OMG this is literally the first TH-cam comment I've ever made and it's so irrelevant and stupid but I LOVE those scissors!
Suzie amo os seus vídeos!!!põe uma legenda para que as brasileiras possam entender melhor!!!sua linda!!♡♡
Can you do the fiberglass with a gel instead of glue and activator ?
