I already asked this but please do a video on adhesive nail tabs vs nail glue for press on nails 🙏 I’m sure there are many people wanting to know this too.
I've managed to keep nails on with tabs for like 2 weeks and they're way easier to remove than glue (easier to reuse a set of pretty press ons). HOWEVER, if you keep them on for a long time they easily trap moisture from when you're washing your hands etc. After removal my nails felt soft and weak and needed a day or two to recover
I tried the tabs and they don’t work for me. They are too thick or something. I get like an hour wear and if I’m super careful maybe 4 hours lol. I use glue and can go 3 weeks to a month. As it grown I polish with clear and buff it
I've been following you for ages and knew about this method. Finally, I got my nail license and am currently working at a salon. My boss made me feel like a fool by doing this step when doing a black and red ombre set. 😢 she said I should never do this, as she's been doing nails for a long time and never needed to do anything like this, as she proceeds to rip off the acrylic nails off clients nails with a nail tip showing me that it dose not stain the natural nails. 🙄
I’m a diyer did my own acrylics for 25 or more years. I was very bad & pulled them off when I wanted a new set! This was way before TH-cam. I know better now & file products down. Always leave a thin layer of builder gel on to protect nails.
Hi, I'm relatively new to "nail at home" world and watching your videos I've learned a lot. Yesterday I found your video how to put tips with gel, I haven't been wearing them for years and kinda forgot the process, but today I did my nails and they came out gorgeous 😍 The number of tips you always give to us is a blessing. Thank you.💚
Yes I'd love the same thing. Especially because as I'm reaching myself with her kit, I'm always wondering if my natural nails need a break, what do I do in between acrylic sets?
Yes please! I've been blessed with long natural nails but there's very very little vids focusing on them. Some tips on keeping their shapes from getting wonky as they get longer would be amazing.
Same! My nails are pretty thin and brittle. I can keep them in ok shape with lotion and oil. Gel, dip, acrylic are all great protectors, but it's the removal process that just anihilates my nails! What do I do AFTER I've soaked off or removed nail polish?
This video is SO hepful! I'm using hybrid gel products (for the longer 'working' time' for shaping) but it certainly applies to that as well. Protecting the natural nail is SO important.
Thank you for sharing this great info. I'm a diyer I'm very careful of what I do to my nails now. Yes, I've damaged them before cause I wasn't educated on what I was doing. Your videos help me alot to keep from doing that. Which gives me an idea for one of my videos. Thank you so much.
I've been doing my own nails for 5 years, and i really enjoyed it, but my first mistake was that I would rip off my nails. I stopped doing that. Then I got an efile, and on my thumb nails, I would file around the cuticle a little obsessively, and i have divets in those nails. Then my other nails I've been letting them grow out, but as they grow out, they are thin and chip as they go. I need help to make a plan to grow back my natural nails but still be able to put on extensions when I want. It's there help for my nails?
Same here, I just started learning with the e-file and even though I secure my pinky I seem to make divets in my nails. I think it boils down to practice.
Thanks to you and a few others I watched, I wanted to use an e-file and learned that having a base like builder gel can provide some protection for the natural nail particularly as a novice to e-file use. So far, I have been doing well and feeling more confident. I only do my own nails, so formal training isn't an option. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and experience.
Sorry to be such a newbie but my natural nails are starting to grow beautifully and I've always used glue ones but this video is really informative, may I ask when you showed and talked about the protective layer, what is it a layer of and how would I do it please❤
I do something similar to what you do but with gel. For a while I didn't do it and learned my lesson when my nails became weak (bending and cracking horribly). Now they are strong and can take a bit more of a 'beating'. My job situation changed recently and now I have to change how I do my nails again. My job makes it so my fingers get smashed every so often so I've had to shorten my long natural nails since they were breaking. I'll grow them out again, just not as long so I wont have as much trouble.
Using a sanding band is what FINALLY got dip powder to stay on my for longer than 5-7 days. Wow - thanks for that tip! Thought my hand filing would work, but it just never did! ❤
Thank you for this video Suzie - have to say I love your lilac glitter nails on your right hand! Would the same apply if you were using hybrid gel instead of acrylic? Because I'm not a nail tech, I've always shied away from doing acrylic and in recent weeks I've been using the full cover soft gel tips, applied with hybrid gel. When I take them off my natural nails have grown lovely underneath - that's from watching your videos Suzie! I'm going to practice on my practice fingers using hybrid gel and dual forms - again that's from watching you Suzie - hybrid gel seems to suit my nails better than builder gel. Once again, thank you Suzie - when it comes to nail techs you are the greatest of all time! 🐐
I use it because i do nail content on my channel. The key is if your going to want it off right away use a product like unt ready for take off but if you want a weeks worth of wear and be able to just pop them off then it’s an amazing product. I find the easiest way to remove is to lift an edge and put the one kill oil under that lifted area and jet it sit for a couple of minutes then use your orange wood stick and gently lift little by little if it’s still stuck as more oil and wait. If you want a little easier removal you can out a tiny strip of ready for takeoff down the middle of the one kill
Suzie I always thought that acrylic is bad for your natural nails. So much that I even stopped training in acrylic and leaned more into gel sculpture but here you’re applying a thin layer of acrylic to PROTECT your natural nail. This is news to me! Do you then leave that layer on the natural nail as protection for the next treatment or do you soak/file the protective layer off too?
Hello suzie, how do i handle using gel on natural nails that curve in on the sides as they grow?...i need help, i wanna keep a square shape but as my real nails grow they curve in on the sides!! Can you make a video on this please?...Thanks, i just subscribed today, you are the best out there hun ❤
I'm not a nail technician, but have been doing my nails with your products for about 3 years. My question is, can i put a protective layer on then add a tip over it? Or do I just need to put the tip on then a protective layer as I've been doing? Thank you so much for your videos, products and answers ❤
Hi Suzie, I’m learning to do nails but I see a lot of people doing Russian manicures? I was wondering if you could do an educational video about Russian manicure and what your take is?
I’m sorta new to gel polish, started in April & it took me a while to figure out how to protect my real nails & now that I got that figured I got swelling & sensitivity under 2 nails. Think (not sure) it’s from sealing edges & gel polish underneath got on skin & burned under UV. So I researched just now what to do and I saw liquid latex around the skin. My question is can you put a Vasoline under the nail on skin to do the edge or will that burn like you would get a sunburn? If you can’t use Vasoline, can you put that blue painters tape under there? The skin looks fine but is sensitive sorta of a numb puffed up pain, I think gel polish might have gotten in between nail & skin underneath, not sure though!
Hi there I have an interesting question to ask you. I am thinking of getting nail extensions but I am afraid to get them after my last experience with them.. I don’t know are they safe to get if I have weak nails already … I would like some advice on something affordable and easy that will last for 10 days or longer … would I be better off doing my own nails I’m not a professional nail artist. I would love to use my own nail polish I have a lot of them to many to choose from !!! Would you do a video on this also please and thank you….
The best way I got my natural nails to grow strong was taking EVERYTHING OFF. Kept my hands out of water as much as possible (also have eczema) and moisturize and oil. Concentrate on massaging oils and mousturizers in surrounding skin to nail plate. Use an good lotion/cream several times a day. After 2 weeks you'll have noticeable improvement in strength of nails. Staying out of water as much as possible was key for me. Now my natural nails are so nice after awhile that I don't want to put extensions on 😂. Edit: do a warm oil soak once a week with avocado or jojoba oils also. You can easily search how on TH-cam.
I agree with the above also. Can add that I've noticed when my nutrition is better, my nails look better, so hydrate 🙂. I usually wear at least a protective base coat because it lessens the chance of my nails chipping or breaking.
an odd question from someone who tends to just wear natural nails... i have a lot of fancy nail polish, (not UV gel, just regular ) and i would like to be able to change my polish on my nails... is there any way i can do that on fake nails?
So I use a really pale/peach polygel with forms then go from there for all my designs and nail art. Can I leave a thin layer of the polygel on my natural nail like you do with acrylic? I’m trying to learn acrylic while using polygel most of the time because it was way easier to master hahaha
Thank you for this! I really love gel polish, but my nails are brittle and peal very easily. So I have been thinking of a Rubber Gel Base overlay. Would this work with that also?
Great advice. I find the time I'm most likely to damage my nails is trying to make old clear gel as thin as possible so that I don't get a line where the old gel meets the new gel when doing a fill. Do you have any tips on that?
My problem is that no matter how I prep and do cuticle work and use primer and bond ..all of the things..it lifts and pulls off nail with it. And now they are like paper but I want them to be pretty like Suzie!
I do gel polish on my natural nails but after two/three weeks they are completely damaged because the gel either peels off runing my natural nail (I always use a vitamin primer), or it is too hard to take off. What do I do?
Ive been putting builder gel on my nails for about 5 years now. If I completely remove it my nails are paper thin. Is that normal? If not what can I do to fix this problem?
Actually it is normal. When product sits on our nails they soften alittle Just like our skin when a bandaid sits on skin - it softens. Once removed the skin hardens up with the air / nails respond the same way Once removed they get harder
@@NailCareerEducation thank you so much for answering my question! Do you think it wise to just go au natural every now and then for your nail’s to harden up somewhat or it really doesn’t matter?
How do you get nails prepared for gel? When i bite them? (I am trying not to bite, but I find when I have nice fake nails I am extra careful and dont bite) how do i have fake nails all the time so my natural nail does not get bit? I am a TERRIBLE nail biter. I have anxiety disorder, so that doesn't help....
Can you please do a video on how to remove gel polish on NATURAL long nails? I have watched your videos about using different nail bits. I have one that has a lot of “teeth” which I have been using in conjunction with softer bits once the layers start getting closer to my natural nail. But it takes me FOREVER to do even one hand even with the use of the bit with a lot of edges and teeth. Also, you always say to go side to side with the bit for faster results but I’m finding it hard to do that when it’s my own nails
Yes, it is actually rather hard to do your natural nails. And I will say it is rather hard to remove gel polish off of natural nails without disturbing the natural nails at least a little bit. One thing I can suggest is you can put a extra coat of your base gel. I have a product called protect and I suggest two layers of that before you put your gel color. And if you want a lot more thickness, you could also paint, a layer of Suzie‘s glass nails it’s a hard gel and it would cause a very thin barrier between your natural nail and the gel polish. This would be really highly advised if you’re going to file them off. You could also consider soaking them off and acetone. You could file the majority off and then soak the rest, but just remember if you’re going to soak so as opposed to scraping off the last little bit
Hi Suzi, I finally got my order. I don't know why customs held on to them so long. I love your products and your videos. I was disappointed however that I did not hear back from you guys when I e-mailed asking for help in getting my order 😢
I have been using dip powder system, but my nails are weak, I find the removal process very hard. and dont like the use of accetone, I always put celar powder on my nail nails first before putting colour on. Have you used this system...or your comments, should certain nail tpes not using specific systems?
I’m not a fan of dips I don’t like the process I don’t like the way they build Apex In fact, I would never use it to build a nail I could see it for maybe a colour but not for a build
Are you allergic to latex? I've heard of using thin layers of latex as a barrier while applying gel polish to protect the skin or using it on the natural nail bed as a blocker. I haven't tried it myself so I'm unsure how well it works
I do my own gel nails and they lift at the sides. The natural nail is thin and bends away from the gel. Is there a treatment program to strengthen nails while wearing gels please?
No, to be honest But the product is not causing the issue. Your natural nails grown alittle curled - so it appears to be pulling away but its natural - you just have to file your nail short or file it away as it grows
@NailCareerEducation thanks for the response! My nails are pretty short but I am REALLY hard on them, cleaning, animal care and plastering/sanding/painting.
I am a training nail tech in the uk, ive passed my level 2 and im not mid way through my level 3, i am on a lot of medication (24 different medicine up to 3 times per day) and my natural nails are horrendous, wish i could post a pic of how bad they are. I stared using press-ons with a uv cured glue, i thought i was giving my nails a break but they have gotten worse. But im in a bit of a hole, because i feel like, im a nail tech and i cant look after my own nails, so i put press ons again and now im going round in circles, please can anyone help with this. The are literally down to the nail bed, they are so so red near the cuticle, on both thumbs the whole top of the nail has gone, it looks like an extreme nail biters nails. My middle finger nail has split right down the middle to the cuticle and it started to pull the nail in 2 directions so im now left with what looks like a set of mountains with clear sky inbetween, and that is really sore, its right down to the skin. Omg sorry for the massive essay. If anyone could give me any advise thats be amazing. Tia xxx
Hi Susan how are you doing today in your family ❤❤❤from me rom in California Los Angeles good to see you new video 2024 I like long Nall went I thak it of the club diemic my Nall natural Nall idon no what to do thanks you ❤❤❤
Suzie, you always on abt protecting your lungs, but I battle with my eyes & I wear glasses! I have a horrible ocular condition: ocular rosacea & any dust esp fm e-filing that gets into the air, invariably gets into my eyes 😢 i guess using a screen like advised during covid would help.. but it would be an awful pain!! Thank you for all the Nail Education you give everyone ❤❤
She’s been doing nails for 35 years but how come she never developed an allergic from it? Some people have only been doing it for a year or 2 and developed contact dermatitis even with extra precautions. 😢

Yes the lower natural layer is 🔑 KEY!!!! This is why you’re the best Suzie!!!!

I’ve done that too! Painful!
Thank you. Now I know how to remove them properly. You are the best.
I absolutely love your videos! I have learned much from watching you,thank you.

Thank you for posting these videos they are so helpful ❤
I've been doing this too! Glad to know I am doing the right thing for my natural nails🖤
Did anyone say noooo 😮when Suzie started removing the beautiful acrylic and glitter??
😂 i feel you that was a beautiful nail

WOW! That’s fabulous 💛
Suzie! Have you seen the Jello Jello One Kill product that lets you peel off nail extensions?? I’d be interested to know what you think of it!
It's a grt product but it's not easily available in every country plus it's a tad bit expensive

Those rings are caused by over-filing and/or traumatic removal.
Whomever is doing your prep is doing too much and filing into your nail plate.
@@Hands-Rated-E-for-Every1 those are not my nails
Suzie! Can you do ones for gel x extensions? And for glue on nails?
Actually that’s a really good idea

Soak it off with acetone
hhmmmm good to know! ive been thinking of having my nails done again, and this gives me ideas.
Thank you Lucy :) I didn't think of that :)

Would a machine like that be used on the thick calluses on my feet? No matter how long I soak and file they are still really thick.
Great video, and advice!!
What's the best way to help weak natural nails grow stronger? Any polish and/or treatment recommendations?
The best way I got my natural nails to grow strong was taking EVERYTHING OFF. Kept my hands out of water as much as possible (also have eczema) and moisturize and oil.

Edit: do a warm oil soak once a week with avocado or jojoba oils also. You can easily search how on TH-cam.
I totally agree with the above comment, and I'd like to add that Sally Hansen makes some great nail polishes to help with growth and strength .❤
I agree with the above also. Can add that I've noticed when my nutrition is better, my nails look better, so hydrate 🙂.
I usually wear at least a protective base coat because it lessens the chance of my nails chipping or breaking.
Try DGEL healing potion. It’s amazing.
For nails that have grown crooked, can you fix them so they go straight again? Or use acrylic/gel to build and make them even?
an odd question from someone who tends to just wear natural nails... i have a lot of fancy nail polish, (not UV gel, just regular ) and i would like to be able to change my polish on my nails... is there any way i can do that on fake nails?
I know that you probably should go with hard gel
Soft gel is the one that comes off with acetone
Nail Polish applies onto ANY type of fake nail beautiful - remove with nail remover or even straight acetone as often as you wish
Would rubber base or builder gel be a good substitute for acrylic?
So I use a really pale/peach polygel with forms then go from there for all my designs and nail art. Can I leave a thin layer of the polygel on my natural nail like you do with acrylic? I’m trying to learn acrylic while using polygel most of the time because it was way easier to master hahaha
Thank you for this! I really love gel polish, but my nails are brittle and peal very easily. So I have been thinking of a Rubber Gel Base overlay. Would this work with that also?
What if someone is growing out their nails and using gel only? Do you recommend painting the nail with a nude color first as a protective layer?
Do you ever feel the heat on your nail when you're filling? How do we avoid that painful feeling specially on people with thin natural nails?
Thanks so much for this video
Hey Suzzie! Could you do a video on inverted Stiletto nails? X
Great advice. I find the time I'm most likely to damage my nails is trying to make old clear gel as thin as possible so that I don't get a line where the old gel meets the new gel when doing a fill. Do you have any tips on that?
Sounds like you’re talking about when your filling the nail - your filing the natural nails too thin
@@NailCareerEducation Ah okay. How can I avoid getting that line?
My problem is that no matter how I prep and do cuticle work and use primer and bond ..all of the things..it lifts and pulls off nail with it. And now they are like paper but I want them to be pretty like Suzie!
Can you talk about Keratin granuloma from wear polish to long and using acetone.
I do gel polish on my natural nails but after two/three weeks they are completely damaged because the gel either peels off runing my natural nail (I always use a vitamin primer), or it is too hard to take off. What do I do?
Hi Suzie! How can you avoid the rings of fire? 🔥

How do you get nails prepared for gel? When i bite them? (I am trying not to bite, but I find when I have nice fake nails I am extra careful and dont bite) how do i have fake nails all the time so my natural nail does not get bit? I am a TERRIBLE nail biter. I have anxiety disorder, so that doesn't help....
Can you please do a video on how to remove gel polish on NATURAL long nails? I have watched your videos about using different nail bits. I have one that has a lot of “teeth” which I have been using in conjunction with softer bits once the layers start getting closer to my natural nail. But it takes me FOREVER to do even one hand even with the use of the bit with a lot of edges and teeth. Also, you always say to go side to side with the bit for faster results but I’m finding it hard to do that when it’s my own nails
Yes, it is actually rather hard to do your natural nails. And I will say it is rather hard to remove gel polish off of natural nails without disturbing the natural nails at least a little bit. One thing I can suggest is you can put a extra coat of your base gel. I have a product called protect and I suggest two layers of that before you put your gel color. And if you want a lot more thickness, you could also paint, a layer of Suzie‘s glass nails it’s a hard gel and it would cause a very thin barrier between your natural nail and the gel polish. This would be really highly advised if you’re going to file them off. You could also consider soaking them off and acetone. You could file the majority off and then soak the rest, but just remember if you’re going to soak so as opposed to scraping off the last little bit
@@NailCareerEducation thanks for the tips!
Can I paint natural nails, then use nail glue and dip powder to strengthen? I always soak my nails and do not use file.
Hi Suzi, I finally got my order. I don't know why customs held on to them so long. I love your products and your videos. I was disappointed however that I did not hear back from you guys when I e-mailed asking for help in getting my order 😢
I have been using dip powder system, but my nails are weak, I find the removal process very hard. and dont like the use of accetone, I always put celar powder on my nail nails first before putting colour on. Have you used this system...or your comments, should certain nail tpes not using specific systems?
I’m not a fan of dips
I don’t like the process
I don’t like the way they build Apex
In fact, I would never use it to build a nail
I could see it for maybe a colour but not for a build
Do you ever have to remove the protective layer?😮 Can it stay there forever?😊
Yup Ive don’t it for years
Unfortunately, I am SEVERELY allergic to any gel. I have given up and started using a coat of nail glue between coats of clear nail polish .😢
Are you allergic to latex? I've heard of using thin layers of latex as a barrier while applying gel polish to protect the skin or using it on the natural nail bed as a blocker. I haven't tried it myself so I'm unsure how well it works
You remind me of the lady that taught me years ago. Nz
Hi just a quick question, where did yiu get your super cute top? Thank you 😊😊😊
Aerie
But a couple years ago
Got a few different Neon Colours
I love them
Thank you Im a nail tech as well ive loved your videos for years. 😊@NailCareerEducation
Do you put a protective layer on clients?
Is it dangerous to wear product on your nails constantly with no naked nail breaks?
Can you also use this method with builder gel?
Yes any product
Hi Suzie, what’s your thoughts on biab and do you use it?
It’s just a builder gel put in a nail polish bottle so it relatable
question, do you use a fan of some sort while filing to avoid all the acrylic from permeating in the space??
Yes over the years I’ve used various types of fans. The simplest and cheapest is placing a fan in the window extracting the air
I do my own gel nails and they lift at the sides. The natural nail is thin and bends away from the gel. Is there a treatment program to strengthen nails while wearing gels please?
No, to be honest
But the product is not causing the issue. Your natural nails grown alittle curled - so it appears to be pulling away but its natural - you just have to file your nail short or file it away as it grows
@NailCareerEducation thanks for the response! My nails are pretty short but I am REALLY hard on them, cleaning, animal care and plastering/sanding/painting.
How did you protect your natural nail?
I am a training nail tech in the uk, ive passed my level 2 and im not mid way through my level 3, i am on a lot of medication (24 different medicine up to 3 times per day) and my natural nails are horrendous, wish i could post a pic of how bad they are. I stared using press-ons with a uv cured glue, i thought i was giving my nails a break but they have gotten worse. But im in a bit of a hole, because i feel like, im a nail tech and i cant look after my own nails, so i put press ons again and now im going round in circles, please can anyone help with this. The are literally down to the nail bed, they are so so red near the cuticle, on both thumbs the whole top of the nail has gone, it looks like an extreme nail biters nails. My middle finger nail has split right down the middle to the cuticle and it started to pull the nail in 2 directions so im now left with what looks like a set of mountains with clear sky inbetween, and that is really sore, its right down to the skin.
Omg sorry for the massive essay.
If anyone could give me any advise thats be amazing. Tia xxx
Your 4 weeks growth is like 2 and a half week for me. I wish my nails grew slower!
Hey please tell me about damage skin side by nail
What about using a peel off base?
That’s only if I don’t want a permanent nail
Hi Susan how are you doing today in your family ❤❤❤from me rom in California Los Angeles good to see you new video 2024 I like long Nall went I thak it of the club diemic my Nall natural Nall idon no what to do thanks you ❤❤❤
Suzie, you always on abt protecting your lungs, but I battle with my eyes & I wear glasses! I have a horrible ocular condition: ocular rosacea & any dust esp fm e-filing that gets into the air, invariably gets into my eyes 😢 i guess using a screen like advised during covid would help.. but it would be an awful pain!!
Thank you for all the Nail Education you give everyone ❤❤
❤❤❤❤❤❤
I know she does them every day but I still died a little inside when she obliterated a perfect newly done nail
Did I spy Holo Taco Electric Sweetener polish....If it's not, it's very similar.
😀
I once had to quit a service because it was too hurtful, I just couldn't do it
Oh no
She’s been doing nails for 35 years but how come she never developed an allergic from it? Some people have only been doing it for a year or 2 and developed contact dermatitis even with extra precautions. 😢
Just like why some people are allergic to strawberries and some aren’t
Doesn’t mean there’s anything wrong with strawberries
