*for everyone who wants to start doing their own nails and was wondering about the so called "slip solution" and "cleaner". You can just use Isopropyl alcohol anywhere from 70% to 99% alcohol. You also can use acetone instead of nail dehydrator. You pay for 100 milliliters of slip solution and cleaner 5 times the price of a half liter Isopropyl alcohol! Both of those products (slip and cleaner) are litteraly made out of alcohol! They just want to make money by calling them other than alcohol. They just add a little bit of something in it, that is not really needed for the function.*

You make me realize how absolute shit my old nail techs were. One time I went in after getting a fresh set, and I had lifting 2 days later! I was very shy and so instead of just buffing it down and filling it...they ripped them off my nails with plyers and charged me full price for a new set. I was too non-confrontational to say anything. My experiences there and other similar places made me swear off fake nails. I wish every town had someone like you!

nikki mitchell I’d be interested! Grew up in a small town with not that great nail salons (and have always been a DIY-er) and I would have loved for someone to teach me! I don’t think anyone would have any reason to make fun of you for sharing what you do and supporting your community 💜
nikki mitchell I would be interested too if someone in my town did it. We have a lot of nail salons but everyone is in such a hurry I quit going. Ive had nails ripped off too! I’m quite a bit older than you and have been watching Suzie and I’m ready to try myself. I think you should go for it! Good luck!! 👍
"You make mistakes and that's how we learn." I needed that today. I'm feeling super crummy about a set I did today. I know I can do better and I'm hating that the client left with it. Ugh.
Nicolette Levandoski Totally the same way. I just love listening to her soothing voice and she is so amazing at explaining and teaching. If I was ever to have wanted a career in nails. Suzie is who I would have wanted to learn from. Love to you Suzie 💖💗
Nicolette Levandoski I agree she's the best her spunk how she explains it and all I love this women...suzziie I love 😚😚😚😙😙😙😙 you sooooo sooo much you teach sooo very well I've learned from you....
I've never had acrylic nails or ever had my nails done by a professional, but this is so interesting and calming. Thanks Jenna for letting me know about this channel. hahaha
I also love that you teach nail techs to be kind and gentle with their clients. I had a girl who used to hurt me a lot and then when I moved or pulled away, she would just giggle and say, “you’re so funny.” As if there was something wrong with me. But it hurt and it wasn’t funny. I started doing my own pink and white sharp square acrylic. So, now you know how old I am.🥰
I don't know if Suzie reads these, but I am a electrician by day, DIY nail artist/hobbyist by nights. I've been watching many videos on the polygel, and have found your videos about the product, the prep and the filing to be the most helpful. Following your steps, I haven't had any lifts or breaks! I love to do my nails and its so nice that they now hold up during my work day! I have always hated acrylic, and I'm so glad this product exists now. Thank you for your videos!!!! ♥
I have fallen in love with this Polygel! I can keep it on my hardest clients, the ones I can't keep anything on and it's bullet proof. It's a very awesome product and much easier to work with. It's the best of acrylics and gels without any of the downsides!
I've been watching these videos for so long that I judge my nail technicians 😂 by them. Actually sat there and argued for a short thick nail over long because I'm a nail biter and wasn't trying to risk being able to break it off.
Is cameraman also the editor of these videos? Suzie's great of course, but the videos are edited so nicely (the music, the labels/words that pop up) that I look forward to seeing the editor's high-quality work too! I was actually amazed at how the label tracked the bottle at 31:40. Really cool stuff.
Yes, Suzie has mentioned that cameraman does all the video editing and production. In an interview that I read, she gave him all the credit for how nicely the videos are produced.
As soon as I think “I wonder how to do this specific manicure” I just look up Suzie bc I know she’s gonna come through and tell me exactly how to do it.
Thanks for mentioning that I went to get gel removal done and they burned through my natural nail leaving it actually filled to the point where there was a dip in my natural nail the drills were too coarse and on a super fast setting still recovering it was so painful and did so much damage to my natural nails. From now on I’m researching places and not doing walk ins ever again.
Nicole Nyaga there's a phrase in nail tech world. We call it rings of fire, and it's a sure sign you should break up with your nail tech, or salon if you do walk ins
Same thing happened to me! My index finger on my right hand is still recovering. It's been months and that nail is still so thin that I'm terrified that the little thin layer that is left will break off. Not sure what to do about it.
Nikki Ny Thats where my pasión for nails started. I would always go to the nail shop & ask for creative stuff; they could never do. & not 2 mention they would always hurt mean the process. Now I Love would I do, I get paid to do it & my clients still can’t believe u can have pretty nails w/o ruining your own☺️🥰
I've been trying to do my own nails at home for awhile now. And everytime I have a question or problem, I go straight to you! You really explain things in detail & give a lot of little tips & tricks. Just wanted to say thank you for all your help! Still haven't perfected my nails but I'm getting better all the time, thanks to you!
Hi Suzie! What about a video on health&safety. Do your hands get sore and tired especially after how long you have been doing nails? My sister had to give up acrylic as her thumbs and wrists were too painful and all of us have sore backs from doing it 😣 I've heard people say nail techs usually give the trade up after 10 years because of pain 😣
Megan Beattie yes please do a video on this! I'm not even a nail tech but doing my own nails can be so dangerous for my poor fingers, wrists, arms, and back. I have no clue how professionals do it all day! I have so much respect for people who can do this artistry professionally.
I feel like she really does best practices, making sure your work station is ergonomic, she has talked about making sure the e-file hand piece is light and small so it doesn’t hurt her wrist. She also had talked about a few times that she wears a mask to protect her lungs from the dust and irritants. A full video would be awesome to see though!
Yes that is an issue and specifically why I never went to school for anything in the industry. I've had caprel tunnel since I was 20 years old. My dad has been doing hair for 35-40 years and it is hard on your body.
Oh my goodness your voice and sound quality is amazing! I found you looking for nail content. I'm staying for ASMR! You aren't boring at all but incredibly soothing to fall asleep to! Your content has a 2nd life in ASMR!
18:11 I thought that the cork was a cookie ahahahah Great video as always Suzie! A year has passed since I stopped biting my nails ( a habit that I had for more than 10 years) and it's all thanks to nail art vids like yours that I finally got the will to stop ❤️
I loved watching you! You’re such a great teacher. I wouldn’t have dropped out of beauty school if I had a teacher like you! Thank you for your realness, professionalism, and honesty!
I've been a lifer on biting and critiquing my nails to the point of nothing. But after being introduced to your channel I'm OBSESSED, it kills my OCD in the best way on how you do things and how extremely professional you are. I want the Gelish set, you opened a whole new world to me. Never thought I could attempt my own nails, like a salon you just saved me way too much 💰
This is my favorite french tip to do with this stuff! Just again, like I said last time with the clear; you need to do thin, thin layers and cure each layer before moving on to the next one! It'll give you a crystal clear result (or fade) every time!
It is my humble dream to have my nails done by Suzie. I've never gotten acrylic nails but I've wanted them since I was 4 years old. It has been instilled in me that it's too dangerous, that I could ruin my nails... I don't think I could trust anyone but Suzie to do my nails! Hopefully one day my dream will come true!!
Hi Suzie! Ever since the beginning your videos always inspired me to go after my esthetics and nail tech career. And it all started by being curious about how to do acrylic nails. I already took cosmetology and will be starting next Monday at Continental for esthetics and nail tech. ❤️ The way you explain things and how you teach it makes it so easy for me to understand. The last few things I need to learn is silk wraps, acrylics, and fiber glass nails. ❤️ Thank you for everything ❤️❤️❤️
+Jaime Towne your very welcome Jaime- you really know how to shape your surroundings to what YOU want- its not always easy go do - silk wraps and fiberglass are not very popular right now but knowledge is GOOD- stayed tuned and im stepping up ACRYLIC, GEL & TIPS & ART
Nail Career Education Thank you so much! And I would love to see like a pretty fall look for the nails. ❤️ I hope to meet you one day! I'm in Rochester, NY and again, I'm so inspired and love your videos!
Hi Suzie. After a brain injury 2 years ago I have had to retire from work at just 53. For many years having beautiful nails have been part of my work uniform, so once I had finished learning all my basic life skills again I had to decide what I was going to do with the rest of my days and it was a no brainier. Never too old to change careers they say. Along with my course I love to watch your tutorials. I believe it’s a good thing to see things from several opinions. One thing I have noticed is the warm soothing tone of your voice, and the funny little cockney ending to the odd sentence lol, a little Nancy from Oliver in there 😝 Please keep doing exactly what you do so very very well. Thank you and stay safe 🌈🌈💙
I love your videos! Thanks for giving so much info during the videos. I know it must feel irritating to repeat yourself but it's great for thosebjust catching on! You're awesome Suzie!
I came here to say that you are like the Bob Ross of nail tutorials but somebody beat me to it like 4 years ago.. lol. I'm new to this channel and I'm hooked. I love how fair you are to every product. 💛
Soooo glad I found you! It's like we're all sitting there with you chatting and you're casually and conversationally showing us how to do this. You have the best way about you 💕
Hi Suzie! I use the soft pink for the french fade. It's not in the master kit but you can buy it. I use the soft white and the mic of cover and light pink 😍
I’ve just ordered my first set of polygel after treating myself to a full gel kit. I absolutely love the concept of the polygel, having qualified in powder back in “98” 🙈 I have to say Suzie, I have only just come across this video of yours and subscribed immediately. I love your energy, calmness, and fun way of not only educating but inviting us in to your beautiful treatment room to “do nails” together 🥰 I am looking forward to watching all your videos. Thank you so much for sharing your talents ❤️
♥️♥️ so in love with your techniques! It took me forever to see where the grow out was, the transition was flawless! Im 4hrs away, Canada here i come 😉
I tried doing poly nails for the first time today and It was an epic fail. I was really overwhelmed and wanted to just quit completely watching all these videos. then I stumbled on this video... Suzie is so calming to listen to and has me so excited to try again tomorrow. her saying its okay to make mistakes made me feel way more comfortable. thank you Suzie (:
TIP: I use this and here's what I've changed. The BRUSH! I use an acrylic brush and it holds more slip, easier to manipulate the product. Also wet the Slicer in slip and the bead comes off beautifully. Just what I have changed and its easier to use, faster, smoother, less filing and no mess with laying down the bead it comes off the Slicer without problems.
I know your comment is from a year ago but I had tti respond because I've noticed the same thing! I don't use an acrylic brush, but I found a gel brush that holds more slip and it was a total game changer! Someone even left a comment under one of my videos asking how the polygel seemed so effortless to use 🙌🏻
@@2LRanch227 Why would you use a dual form if you're using tips anyway? The dual form is to form the nail. If you're using tips then you form the nail onto the tips. There's no reason to use a dual form on a tip.
I just wanted to let you know, that I've looked up to you ever since I started on my journey as a nail tech and I want to tell you that you are a true inspiration to me that you can not only be a nail tech but you can also be a successful woman entrepreneur. You are my inspiration
Maybe mix some of the clear into the white to soften it on the nail where you're trying fade it, like leave the bold white on the end, nuke it then use the white/clear mix for the fade so it doesn't take as much pink to soften so you'll lessen the risk of filing it off
So one thing that people were doing in a poly gel group that I am in is they would do the white and then do the cover pink like you did and then bring the sheer pink over the entire nail so very thin white very thin cover pink and then a sheer pink over everything too kind of blend it and mute that white a little bit
Suzie you have such a motivating voice! You project optimism and familiarity essential to any educator. I recently wasn't able to do my nail extensions for over a year due to uncontrollable circumstances which sucked some serious butt. I've recently come back into the nail scene and found it hard to connect to a lot of old nail directed channels I used to enjoy, but not yours! You are an awesome lady who just doesn't get boring!
She kept my attention the whole time. Her voice was so soothing and each step was explained in a way I could understand clearly. 😌 The results turned out stunning and so was the teaching! Thank you for this!
I am having the worst time with Polygel when I use it for extensions! I know it is softer than acrylic, but they have popped off on every client that have worn them as a sculpted extensions. My clients that are wearing it as an overlay, aren't having that issue..I do correct prep, dehydration, and priming and nothing is helping. I've also saw several other techs are having the same problem. Any tips??
Suzie, your voice is so soothing and calming. I'm just like, so chill listening to your tutorials in the background while I'm working, while also learning about poly infills. God bless.
Omgosh those nails tho....id be happy to get a nail, just 1 done by Suzie. they looked so beautiful. I enjoy learning with Suze when it comes to testing new products.
Thanks for doing a follow up on Polygel. I have been trying it on some of my clients. I am finding there is a heat spike which Gelish say it should not do. Also my tube split open at the top from having to squeeze so hard, and i was told to fit the plastic clip to the tube from its first use, not just for when you get to the end. Do you know if you can do a fill if the client has acrylic or hard gel on? I have only used Polygel on new nails. Keep up the good work. Fab tutorial on infills and rebalancing. Kim x
Love love love your videos! When I lived in Phoenix I had the greatest nail tech ever. When we moved here I tried every salon in town and no one could come close to doing them the way I liked. Plus, they all were heavy handed with the e-file and I would get burned every time I went for a fill. So I started doing them myself and watching your videos have really helped me. Thank you do much!
Because of the fact the polygel won't cure before using the led lamp, would this product be better to practice my technique on at first as apposed to dip acrylic? I'm a cosmetology student and I'm having some trouble sculpting the acrylics before it cures. Also side question is the acrylic supposed to be so soft or is that a sign that my ratio is off?
Noah Smith its much easier to do gels rather than acrylics , and if youre using the professional acrylic , then yeah ur liquid ratio may be off but if your using cheap shit then its probably the acrylics fault lol
I'm using the supplies that we get in our kit. It's CND brand. Is that good? If it's not, I wouldn't be opposed to some recommendations for better stuff
Noah Smith CND is a really good brand so I don't think that's the issue. Granted, that depends in what stage you are in the process of using the acrylic when it is a polymer and commencing the "curing process". Also, we're you in a cold air conditioned room while using your acrylic? Acrylic tends to cure slower in lower temperatures, but faster in warmer ones. Make sure the room at least is 73°F (22.8°C) and ventilated well.
Was anyone cringing when Suzie left the half closed Top it off near the light? I love Suzie...She messes up like we all do and lets us know that practice will make us better.
Kaytlynne Littke i think it was the girls at the salon, who bought it for her, but I might be mistaken 🤔 either way, I hope to see it soon again too...it is so gorgeous.💎😍👍
Miss Defiance I'm planning on using it as a non professional. It's definitely going to take some learning but there's no reason why you couldn't use it as long as you are able to obtain the product, follow instructions and do as much research as you can
Hi I'm new to doing my own nails since the pandemic. My neighbour girl who worked at a dealership suggested removing keys from the rings with a staple remover. It works like a charm. I love your videos and have watched my tech for years. I'm going to do more gems and get in touch with being creative! Keep up the great videos! Tracey
I never write comments but I feel compelled to let you know how much I love and appreciate you and your camera husband. The way you speak, the energy you project, your patience, your ability to explain, and the amount of skill that you share(for free) is life changing. You have taught so much. I work with concrete and over the years my nails have been destroyed( worse than grants😬) and now I have hands I can be proud of. I even do my friends and neighbors nails😂 Thank you for being so damn talented!!
I no longer practice due to severe allergies I developed, but I'll always stay tuned into Suzie! She was always someone I turned into for product reviews and ideas. A far better instructor than many I had in school.
I just like doing my own nails, and haven't really had anyone teach me the correct way to do this sort of thing. I really appreciate having someone break down the process so simply. Thank you.
Emily Dyer this uses a slip which she says is similar to monomer so your best bet would be to use a gel or try and contact the company to be on the safe side
I've been watching a lot of your videos lately after starting to play around with gel polishes and polygel. I remember you saying how you didn't like using dual forms and after trying it out myself, I finally understand why. Building the nail without it is intimidating but it's so worth it and I thank you for being such an inspiration.
Omg! I found a professional that explains everything so that people like me, that do their nails at home, can have the instructions to have professional looking nails. LOVE HER!
Omgosh yes, without sounding patronising, and super encouraging, just makes you want to pull out the gear and go for it, (maybe not at 2am) lol

Dear polygel. Please release a collaberation with Suzie. Suzie's custom color pink. I would buy it in a heartbeat!
@Ane Calvo I believe Polygel is actually the brand. It is a hybrid gel that now many other brands and also users call polygel.

I have fallen in love with this Polygel! I can keep it on my hardest clients, the ones I can't keep anything on and it's bullet proof. It's a very awesome product and much easier to work with. It's the best of acrylics and gels without any of the downsides!
Suzie is magic.
I've been watching these videos for so long that I judge my nail technicians 😂 by them. Actually sat there and argued for a short thick nail over long because I'm a nail biter and wasn't trying to risk being able to break it off.
Is cameraman also the editor of these videos? Suzie's great of course, but the videos are edited so nicely (the music, the labels/words that pop up) that I look forward to seeing the editor's high-quality work too! I was actually amazed at how the label tracked the bottle at 31:40. Really cool stuff.
Yes, Suzie has mentioned that cameraman does all the video editing and production. In an interview that I read, she gave him all the credit for how nicely the videos are produced.
Camera man is her husband so the videos are made with love, the quality shows.
As soon as I think “I wonder how to do this specific manicure” I just look up Suzie bc I know she’s gonna come through and tell me exactly how to do it.
A baby boomer? 😲 There are hundreds of videos on that here on TH-cam
@@wioi I think she was speaking generally, not specifically about baby boomer.
Thanks for mentioning that I went to get gel removal done and they burned through my natural nail leaving it actually filled to the point where there was a dip in my natural nail the drills were too coarse and on a super fast setting still recovering it was so painful and did so much damage to my natural nails. From now on I’m researching places and not doing walk ins ever again.
Nicole Nyaga there's a phrase in nail tech world. We call it rings of fire, and it's a sure sign you should break up with your nail tech, or salon if you do walk ins
Nicole Nyaga knowledge is power.. once ur know, you will become so picky..
Same thing happened to me! My index finger on my right hand is still recovering. It's been months and that nail is still so thin that I'm terrified that the little thin layer that is left will break off. Not sure what to do about it.
Nikki Ny Thats where my pasión for nails started. I would always go to the nail shop & ask for creative stuff; they could never do. & not 2 mention they would always hurt mean the process. Now I Love would I do, I get paid to do it & my clients still can’t believe u can have pretty nails w/o ruining your own☺️🥰
Pam Elber does it hurt ?
Really loving your detailed explanations in all your videos...loving you all the way in Botswana
Why do I get so excited when I see that Suzie has uploaded?❤
michaejackson4ever Same xD
+Wolf Lykaios ahhhh you guys are too sweet💜
michaejackson4ever I am the same way. I love when new Suzie videos arrive. Love you Suzie 💖💟💝
Same here! I stop watching what I have and go to Suzie's vids. 😍😍😍😍
Kevin G I love seeing the huge diversity in people who watch Suzie's videos! Makes me so happy!
I've been trying to do my own nails at home for awhile now. And everytime I have a question or problem, I go straight to you! You really explain things in detail & give a lot of little tips & tricks. Just wanted to say thank you for all your help! Still haven't perfected my nails but I'm getting better all the time, thanks to you!
Hi Suzie! What about a video on health&safety. Do your hands get sore and tired especially after how long you have been doing nails? My sister had to give up acrylic as her thumbs and wrists were too painful and all of us have sore backs from doing it 😣 I've heard people say nail techs usually give the trade up after 10 years because of pain 😣
Megan Beattie yes please do a video on this! I'm not even a nail tech but doing my own nails can be so dangerous for my poor fingers, wrists, arms, and back. I have no clue how professionals do it all day! I have so much respect for people who can do this artistry professionally.
I second this! I have carpal tunnel & holding fingers hurts lol
I feel like she really does best practices, making sure your work station is ergonomic, she has talked about making sure the e-file hand piece is light and small so it doesn’t hurt her wrist. She also had talked about a few times that she wears a mask to protect her lungs from the dust and irritants. A full video would be awesome to see though!
Yes that is an issue and specifically why I never went to school for anything in the industry. I've had caprel tunnel since I was 20 years old. My dad has been doing hair for 35-40 years and it is hard on your body.
Oh my goodness your voice and sound quality is amazing! I found you looking for nail content. I'm staying for ASMR! You aren't boring at all but incredibly soothing to fall asleep to! Your content has a 2nd life in ASMR!
18:11 I thought that the cork was a cookie ahahahah
Great video as always Suzie! A year has passed since I stopped biting my nails ( a habit that I had for more than 10 years) and it's all thanks to nail art vids like yours that I finally got the will to stop ❤️
Caterina Stella I thought it was a biscuit to 😂😂😂xx
I loved watching you! You’re such a great teacher. I wouldn’t have dropped out of beauty school if I had a teacher like you! Thank you for your realness, professionalism, and honesty!
You put so much effort into making each nail look good. it's amazing.
I've been a lifer on biting and critiquing my nails to the point of nothing. But after being introduced to your channel I'm OBSESSED, it kills my OCD in the best way on how you do things and how extremely professional you are. I want the Gelish set, you opened a whole new world to me. Never thought I could attempt my own nails, like a salon you just saved me way too much 💰
I love how her studio is setup. It's so calming and stylish
Can't have nails like that when you play the violin..lol Your videos relax me so much..you are very talented.
TaD D same with percussion :) the nails would dig into the hands of the wearer!
Same with guitar!! I wish so much that I could have nails like these but I can’t! 😭
Me too!!! My nails always have to be quiet short because of the violin.. what a pity:/
This is my favorite french tip to do with this stuff! Just again, like I said last time with the clear; you need to do thin, thin layers and cure each layer before moving on to the next one! It'll give you a crystal clear result (or fade) every time!
I love how you're explaining the process. It is so satisfying listening to you when you speak.
Suzie is the queen of nails and unintentional ASMR. I always feel very relaxed and a bit sleepy (in a very good way!) when I watch these videos. 💜
It is my humble dream to have my nails done by Suzie. I've never gotten acrylic nails but I've wanted them since I was 4 years old. It has been instilled in me that it's too dangerous, that I could ruin my nails... I don't think I could trust anyone but Suzie to do my nails! Hopefully one day my dream will come true!!
I LOVE your nail tutorials, you make me feel like I could be as good as you are some day. Thank you
I love your calm confidence and guidance
Hi Suzie! Ever since the beginning your videos always inspired me to go after my esthetics and nail tech career. And it all started by being curious about how to do acrylic nails. I already took cosmetology and will be starting next Monday at Continental for esthetics and nail tech. ❤️ The way you explain things and how you teach it makes it so easy for me to understand. The last few things I need to learn is silk wraps, acrylics, and fiber glass nails. ❤️ Thank you for everything ❤️❤️❤️
+Jaime Towne your very welcome Jaime- you really know how to shape your surroundings to what YOU want- its not always easy go do - silk wraps and fiberglass are not very popular right now but knowledge is GOOD- stayed tuned and im stepping up ACRYLIC, GEL & TIPS & ART
Nail Career Education Thank you so much! And I would love to see like a pretty fall look for the nails. ❤️ I hope to meet you one day! I'm in Rochester, NY and again, I'm so inspired and love your videos!
Hi Suzie. After a brain injury 2 years ago I have had to retire from work at just 53.
For many years having beautiful nails have been part of my work uniform, so once I had finished learning all my basic life skills again I had to decide what I was going to do with the rest of my days and it was a no brainier. Never too old to change careers they say.
Along with my course I love to watch your tutorials. I believe it’s a good thing to see things from several opinions.
One thing I have noticed is the warm soothing tone of your voice, and the funny little cockney ending to the odd sentence lol, a little Nancy from Oliver in there 😝
Please keep doing exactly what you do so very very well. Thank you and stay safe 🌈🌈💙
Wow! You’re amazing! Thank you Chrissie for sharing your story. Very inspiring, we are never too old. 🏡💜
I love your videos! Thanks for giving so much info during the videos. I know it must feel irritating to repeat yourself but it's great for thosebjust catching on! You're awesome Suzie!
I came here to say that you are like the Bob Ross of nail tutorials but somebody beat me to it like 4 years ago.. lol. I'm new to this channel and I'm hooked. I love how fair you are to every product. 💛
Yay thank u I was waiting for this, I haven't filled my nails since the first polygel video you did! Thank u!! ❤️ love the videos !!!
Soooo glad I found you! It's like we're all sitting there with you chatting and you're casually and conversationally showing us how to do this. You have the best way about you 💕
Hi Suzie! I use the soft pink for the french fade. It's not in the master kit but you can buy it. I use the soft white and the mic of cover and light pink 😍
I’ve just ordered my first set of polygel after treating myself to a full gel kit. I absolutely love the concept of the polygel, having qualified in powder back in “98” 🙈 I have to say Suzie, I have only just come across this video of yours and subscribed immediately. I love your energy, calmness, and fun way of not only educating but inviting us in to your beautiful treatment room to “do nails” together 🥰 I am looking forward to watching all your videos. Thank you so much for sharing your talents ❤️
♥️♥️ so in love with your techniques! It took me forever to see where the grow out was, the transition was flawless! Im 4hrs away, Canada here i come 😉
I tried doing poly nails for the first time today and It was an epic fail. I was really overwhelmed and wanted to just quit completely watching all these videos. then I stumbled on this video... Suzie is so calming to listen to and has me so excited to try again tomorrow. her saying its okay to make mistakes made me feel way more comfortable. thank you
Suzie (:
TIP: I use this and here's what I've changed.
The BRUSH! I use an acrylic brush and it holds more slip, easier to manipulate the product. Also wet the Slicer in slip and the bead comes off beautifully. Just what I have changed and its easier to use, faster, smoother, less filing and no mess with laying down the bead it comes off the Slicer without problems.
cathy perrault can you use this gel with tips? I’d rather have a nail tech add than to form my shape.
I know your comment is from a year ago but I had tti respond because I've noticed the same thing! I don't use an acrylic brush, but I found a gel brush that holds more slip and it was a total game changer! Someone even left a comment under one of my videos asking how the polygel seemed so effortless to use 🙌🏻
@@ontheboulevard I use tips with mine. It works well, but they are hard to use if you want to do a dual form.
@@2LRanch227 Why would you use a dual form if you're using tips anyway? The dual form is to form the nail. If you're using tips then you form the nail onto the tips. There's no reason to use a dual form on a tip.
Thanks for the tip!
I loved this video and the French fade. I thought it looked really nice. And you're voice is so pleasant to listen to.
Growing out your artificial nails is actually a really great experiment to figure out how quickly your nails grow!
I just wanted to let you know, that I've looked up to you ever since I started on my journey as a nail tech and I want to tell you that you are a true inspiration to me that you can not only be a nail tech but you can also be a successful woman entrepreneur. You are my inspiration
❤️
Maybe mix some of the clear into the white to soften it on the nail where you're trying fade it, like leave the bold white on the end, nuke it then use the white/clear mix for the fade so it doesn't take as much pink to soften so you'll lessen the risk of filing it off
I don't know what I'd do without Suzie in my life
So one thing that people were doing in a poly gel group that I am in is they would do the white and then do the cover pink like you did and then bring the sheer pink over the entire nail so very thin white very thin cover pink and then a sheer pink over everything too kind of blend it and mute that white a little bit
Suzie you have such a motivating voice! You project optimism and familiarity essential to any educator. I recently wasn't able to do my nail extensions for over a year due to uncontrollable circumstances which sucked some serious butt. I've recently come back into the nail scene and found it hard to connect to a lot of old nail directed channels I used to enjoy, but not yours! You are an awesome lady who just doesn't get boring!
Those brushes are really cool how they have the double end on them
Do you know what the brush is?
Amy Leonard-frazier nnn
It's the polygel tool
Amy Frazier it’s part of the kit.
She kept my attention the whole time. Her voice was so soothing and each step was explained in a way I could understand clearly. 😌
The results turned out stunning and so was the teaching! Thank you for this!
please do more poly gel videos >~<
Suzie you are great at what you do! I wish I could sit at your feet and learn nails! Keep going Suzie!!!
I am having the worst time with Polygel when I use it for extensions! I know it is softer than acrylic, but they have popped off on every client that have worn them as a sculpted extensions. My clients that are wearing it as an overlay, aren't having that issue..I do correct prep, dehydration, and priming and nothing is helping. I've also saw several other techs are having the same problem. Any tips??
Polished By Amy same
Polygel and hybrids should be used with base coat. And cured for 60 seconds. I primarily use polygel so this old video is strange to watch 😅
I seriously love how the music changes with the different steps. Just something I noticed and I love it lol 🥰
"How old am I?" I'm wondering the same thing too Suzie #mybad haha
Suzie, your voice is so soothing and calming. I'm just like, so chill listening to your tutorials in the background while I'm working, while also learning about poly infills. God bless.
Omgosh those nails tho....id be happy to get a nail, just 1 done by Suzie. they looked so beautiful. I enjoy learning with Suze when it comes to testing new products.
I can't believe I watched an entire 30+minute nail tutorial! Ms. Susie, you are so captivating and most importantly incredibly knowledgeable.
Thanks for doing a follow up on Polygel. I have been trying it on some of my clients. I am finding there is a heat spike which Gelish say it should not do. Also my tube split open at the top from having to squeeze so hard, and i was told to fit the plastic clip to the tube from its first use, not just for when you get to the end. Do you know if you can do a fill if the client has acrylic or hard gel on? I have only used Polygel on new nails. Keep up the good work. Fab tutorial on infills and rebalancing. Kim x
Hi Kim, did you ever figure out if you could fill in on reg acrylic/gel nails?
Thanks
I’m also wondering if it’s possible to fill over acrylic
I don't see why not. Anastasia from Nailcue does it all the time.
Love love love your videos! When I lived in Phoenix I had the greatest nail tech ever. When we moved here I tried every salon in town and no one could come close to doing them the way I liked. Plus, they all were heavy handed with the e-file and I would get burned every time I went for a fill. So I started doing them myself and watching your videos have really helped me. Thank you do much!
Because of the fact the polygel won't cure before using the led lamp, would this product be better to practice my technique on at first as apposed to dip acrylic? I'm a cosmetology student and I'm having some trouble sculpting the acrylics before it cures. Also side question is the acrylic supposed to be so soft or is that a sign that my ratio is off?
Noah Smith its much easier to do gels rather than acrylics , and if youre using the professional acrylic , then yeah ur liquid ratio may be off but if your using cheap shit then its probably the acrylics fault lol
I'm using the supplies that we get in our kit. It's CND brand. Is that good? If it's not, I wouldn't be opposed to some recommendations for better stuff
Noah Smith
CND is a really good brand so I don't think that's the issue. Granted, that depends in what stage you are in the process of using the acrylic when it is a polymer and commencing the "curing process".
Also, we're you in a cold air conditioned room while using your acrylic? Acrylic tends to cure slower in lower temperatures, but faster in warmer ones. Make sure the room at least is 73°F (22.8°C) and ventilated well.
Noah Smith I would think it's great for practice.
Was anyone cringing when Suzie left the half closed Top it off near the light? I love Suzie...She messes up like we all do and lets us know that practice will make us better.
Suzie what happened to the bejeweled nail rest that a fan sent you? I haven't seen you use it in a while!
Kaytlynne Littke i think it was the girls at the salon, who bought it for her, but I might be mistaken 🤔 either way, I hope to see it soon again too...it is so gorgeous.💎😍👍
אני מישראל מהיכן קונים את החומרים לבניית הציפורניים ?
I just love that light pink color of the polygel. I think it looks so elegant with any nail shape and it compliments all skin tones. 🤗
I love your videos Suzie! Would you say that this polygel would be better suited for a beginner amateur on their own nails?
Miss Defiance It's a professional product. So no
As opposed to all other products that aren't?
Miss Defiance I'm planning on using it as a non professional. It's definitely going to take some learning but there's no reason why you couldn't use it as long as you are able to obtain the product, follow instructions and do as much research as you can
Suzie... the nail whisper! Talk to the nail...lol Love it! I love watching you more than regular tv... thank you!
Amazinggg
Hi
I'm new to doing my own nails since the pandemic. My neighbour girl who worked at a dealership suggested removing keys from the rings with a staple remover. It works like a charm.
I love your videos and have watched my tech for years. I'm going to do more gems and get in touch with being creative!
Keep up the great videos!
Tracey
Fabulous tip
"My structure is pretty on point" my new catchphrase

Nail Career Education 🤗
#TakeMyMoney Let me know when the merch bearing that PERFECT phrase are for sale!!!
I never write comments but I feel compelled to let you know how much I love and appreciate you and your camera husband. The way you speak, the energy you project, your patience, your ability to explain, and the amount of skill that you share(for free) is life changing. You have taught so much. I work with concrete and over the years my nails have been destroyed( worse than grants😬) and now I have hands I can be proud of. I even do my friends and neighbors nails😂 Thank you for being so damn talented!!
33 minutes long, thank you.
+Amirah Morreale and we were worried it was too long
Nail Career Education never to long!!
Omg I thought I was tripping when I got excited to see that it was that long 😂
I no longer practice due to severe allergies I developed, but I'll always stay tuned into Suzie! She was always someone I turned into for product reviews and ideas. A far better instructor than many I had in school.
Mix the white and the pink together then put it in the middle of the two
ty, I'll give it a go.
I just like doing my own nails, and haven't really had anyone teach me the correct way to do this sort of thing. I really appreciate having someone break down the process so simply. Thank you.
I'm allergic to the liquid monomer in acrylics. Would this work for me ?
Emily Dyer yes. It uses no monomer.
Emily Dyer this uses a slip which she says is similar to monomer so your best bet would be to use a gel or try and contact the company to be on the safe side
Emily Dyer at minute 16 she said slip is just alcohol...
She misspoke
should be fine. the slip is basically alcohol
I've been watching a lot of your videos lately after starting to play around with gel polishes and polygel. I remember you saying how you didn't like using dual forms and after trying it out myself, I finally understand why. Building the nail without it is intimidating but it's so worth it and I thank you for being such an inspiration.
Yes! 👍🏼
Suzy please make more videos 😥
I absolutely love watching your videos, your voice is so calming and the music you play in the back is upbeat but super soothing!!!
Every time she trows something I laugh SO hard 😂
Why is this just the best vibe. I'm so relaxed and inspired and educated. Thanks so much!
