I like that your niece is willing to show us her beginner efforts while she’s learning. She seems very sweet. 😊
The respect and patience that you have made me want to try again, and it feels different and better! This is what influencers should do! Thank you!
Love this comment ❤️
I’ve been watching you for years now and practicing acrylic nails for the past year or so. I got into it after becoming a mom again after 18 years! I know I’m crazy 😂 I had always wanted to learn but being at home while my husband was deployed out of state, it was the perfect hobby to keep me sane ❤ well after over drilled nails/cuticles I was SO close to throwing in the towel. But the stubborn bull I am said to give it one more shot. And guess what?! I FINALLY did a set of acrylic nails that don’t look like I scooped a dollop of mashed potatoes on my fingernails 😊 and thanks to you reminding me just how important good cuticle work is, mine look pretty damn good! If I do say so myself 😌 I wish I could send you a picture Susie. I think you’d be proud ❤Thanks to you this broke mama won’t be wasting anymore 💰 at the nail salon anymore!!! I live in WA state and the ONLY good mail tech I’ve had that made my nails straight and cuticles seem less is located in Texas 😢 the lady would hand file each nail to the Gods I tell ya!!! Anyways, thank you Susie for all your help ❤❤❤
P.S.
Your odorless monomer is the 💣 my husband can’t stand the smell of regular monomer and doesn’t mind yours at all ❤
Thank you so much for your time and your knowledge on teaching US how to do nails the correct way!
Been a fan for years! This woman’s videos are so calming that I fall asleep to them sometimes on nights I can’t sleep. Not in a bad way!
Seeing the before and after photos were SO helpful to see side by side! I love all the ways that you teach, with visuals and words and demos all at once 🎉
The last time I did my nails they all slowly broke 😭😫 THANK U FOR THIS VIDEO LOL I THINK THIS WAS WHY 💜
5.13 “We don’t need a huge one” she said. “We just need one” SUZIE YOU ARE A LEGEND UNDERCOVER 😅😂❤❤❤
Loving the new guest. Her perspective is unique and cool!
I like to think of the apex like I would a traditional drystone bridge. The wider the river the higher the bridge!
Susie, you and Camera Man make the best, most beautiful and informative videos of all. The music, the color scheme, the setting all are perfect for your most educational videos. You guys are an awesome team.👍❤️💅💕
Sent your channel to my friend who is getting into acrylic nails. ❤
I needed this video. The owner of the salon I work at says u don't need an apex but I know that u actually do need one. And today I did a fill on a set that she did the original full set and it was so hard cuz I wasn't sure how to rebalance her work. The sets she does look exactly like what ur nieces looked like and she's been doing them for 18 yrs.
If I have to fill a set she did again I feel like I would know what to do now so thank u so much.
Suzi, I love watching and learning from you - ordered some supplies from your store - now if only I could get the technique! You make it look so much easier than it is! 😂😂😂
Very nice! I have learned so much just from your last two videos with your niece!❤
I learn a lot from you and you're so amazing and wonderful woman I enjoy watching your works ❤❤❤
ALWAYS great explanation Suzy!!!!!
I really look forward to the videos with your niece. Does she want to stay as a mechanic or do nails full time? I’m sorry I’m intrigued by her life 🥰💜
Gorgeous work!
Ms. Susie always does a great job 🥰
Always so informative, thank you ❤
Thank you!❤
Awesome job
So helpful, your videos are relaxing too 😍
Thank you you for great info so helpful. 💜🤗
The music in these videos is so soothing
This is so interesting and helpful. I didn't realize you could do acrylic on hybrid gel!
My iron levels were low my nails were weak I took Shilajit & my nails are now healthy strong & pretty ✨🙌🙌✨💯
Hey Susie!! Can you squeeze in a video on how to use a smile line cutter for French nails! :)
Wow I love that 😍 🎉really
So good at explaining’
Thanks Suzie and Bree.
I use builder gel to strengthen and sometimes lengthen. Some day, I'm going to get your slow set acrylic.
Very cool 😀
Her cuticles!
Great video. ❤
That was a great video!
Ďakujem za Vaše videá
Thanks ❤️
Hi Susie. I love your videos. I do my own dip nails at home. Do you recommend adding an apex when using dip products on short nails?
Bree looks absolutely adorable with freckles. I totally love them.
Awesome instructions. This is extremely helpful. I work with a lot of chemicals and also work in gardens & landscape with heavy clay and rock. My hands are embarrassing. ¥
Ugh. The flat nail trend is just terrible and results in horrifying breaks -.-
Exactly
It’s not a trend
It's not a trend and it doesn't result in breaks if you know how to do it properly. Nails can be very thin which looks more natural. I came across this account and I am absolutely shocked that someone with 35 years experience is doing this and teaching others to do it this way. Her grow points are moved and sides cut because someone tried to make her nails look more slim in a wrong way. Thick apex is not a trend, we moved on from 2000s at least in Europe. I know I sound like an absolute b* but I'm beyond shocked. Be careful who you learn from and never stop educating yourself, don't think once you finish course that's it
@@nikita-qu8dzwhen the salon does flat (which I hate as that isn't my natural shape) they last max 2 weeks. If they add a proper apex that matches my natural curve they last 4-6 weeks. My nails grow pretty slow and I always start with short nails. If I do them myself (which I have done for 35 years as well, I'm not a tech just someone who objects to paying $75 for a basic set or fill). I go to the salon only when I am working 60-80 hours a week and don't have the time.
I also wish more salons actually sculpted instead of tips, those last even longer.
I'm in the US and this has been common in at least 2 states that I have had my nails done.
And frankly IMO the flat nails are ugly.
Flat nails. I have them naturally flat and they break, they are weak. Once I add a bit of an apex my nails not only look good, they never break. And flat nails look ugly.
Does this apply for SNS dip and gel nails?
You can do some nail yes I love Susie work
I use NEONAIL shellac at home and do it myself. I sometimes use forms to also lengthen my nails… I can’t build an apex… is it really necessary when working with shellac on natural nails?
Next show us a before an after of a long mail
Build with and without an apex and what that would look like
Hi Suzie I purchased all your products including your e-file and bits. Can you make a instructional video on the e-file YOU SELL PLEASE?
I have a question. I have no arches and wide nails. I want nails that won't pop after a week. Now I do have eczema.ans I don't know if that you be a cause of it but it's really annoying. What do I tell the nail techs to help keep my nails on strong.
@@WilliamsSmith-444 who are you?
Hi Susie I live in North Carolina U.S. I want to take some of your coarse but can’t get to Canada. Will you ever do virtual?
Wondering what grit size is the purple arbour band?
This is a great video!
Purple is Medium
Can we get your kits in UK Suzie?
Question: im trying to grow mine and as soon as i get a free edge longer than an 1/8", they crack or break. Id love to do a coating to protect and build an apex( my natural nails are flat). Would hybrid gel be the best to use? Thanks😊
Hard gel
Search for "builder in a bottle" and start using liquid gel. It's not as hard as it seems once you practice it. By far the lowest maintenance application process.
What is reinforcement gel?
Suzie I am curious. from doing /having my nails done my natural nails have grown to be so flimsy and weak. How can I strengthen them? I have taken my gel down to a very thin amount not to damage my natural nails anymore. I ended up putting a small amount of gel on them to give them strength so that they won’t peel chip rip or break off. I’d like to get strength back in them. Please help I need ideas. Thank you so very much
The only way to bring them back to a natural state is let them grow out naturally once it replaces itself, you’ll be back to where you started. Just be careful you don’t over file them.
Hey Suzie I wanted to know if you can do a video on non toxic acrylic paint on nails. I want to see what you think about it and know a way for it to last lingers because mine seems to peel right away
nothing that's not lacquer or gel will not last
Weird question, but can you have a nail built in acrylic, gel, whatever, and the use a peel off base coat under a gel polish, so you can easily switch up your nail art, without filing or soaking off and keep the built nail underneath?
This is something I’ve tried before! I used the ünt peel off base coat over acrylic and polygel and I noticed that it will work BUT the surface of the acrylic or polygel has to be VERY smooth. I tend to put a gel top coat on the acrylic or polygel, then the peel off base, then the design. If everything goes well you shouldn’t have to reapply the barrier top coat after peeling up your design
Can you fill a hybrid gel with acrylic?
Oh yes you can. In fact, this is what I did in this video
Hello Susie my name is jennifer and im new doing my nails and i start working in a warehouse for amazon and i really what to have my nails nice and i little long but strong to what can i do ?
hey susie i was wondering do you think it’s bad to re-use the purple part that you put on the “arbor band” or sanding band ? i was just wondering because i always hear that it’s really bad for a salon to re-use anything that is porous such as nail files or the sanding band on the drill bit so i was just wondering what you’re opinion on that is here i noticed you did use a sanding band that looked like it had been used before and i just found that interesting also could you please do a vid on sanitation and cleaning and what you do to prep for a client before hand or in between clients ect .
thanks heaps suzie you’ve taught me so much as a young lady in the beauty industry xx
She’s using that band all on one client - her niece. If you’re doing multiple clients, that’s one band per client.
If it’s for your own use, you can use it until it’s “dead.”
So great to hear your enjoying my videos
You ask a great question. When it comes to our bands, as long as you’re using it on the same person it’s no problem. Arbour bands are rather inexpensive so rather than going to the time it takes to disinfect these little things. It’s kind of not worth it. You might as will put a new one on per client. As for nail files, certainly if it’s the same person use the same file. When it comes to clients, I would use the same set of files for each and every client. in the salon, I would label a perforated bag and place the files that I use on that particular client in that bag with their name and date on it and I would use those files on that person. Every time they came in for their appointment until the files were used so much that they need to be replaced. You can get a long wear out of a nail file before you have to replace it if it’s a high-quality nail file. What a waste to use it once and throw it out. I would not do that. It is throwing away money on a perfectly good item. Not to mention we don’t need to be throwing more in the landfill than we possibly can. These files are very good shape and you can get many uses out of them. In fact, you may be able to even have them last a year. When you consider a client comes once a month that’s only 12 uses for one customer.
I want to add. I believe Suzie filmed several different topics on her niece in one day. So that arbor band was probably used on her niece in a different film topic that same day, so Suzie did not need to grab a new one for her Mandrill on this particular nail educational topic. If you follow Suzie you might notice that her niece is wearing the same clothes in every video. Hence spent a day using her nieces for all different learning techniques. Suzie is so good. 😊
I have this one client and I've done her nails twice now and she says both full sets popped off with just a few days, so I broke out my training finger and did one on it just as I did hers, Then I on purpose tried to break it or pop it off and with a lot of strength it finally broke but never popped off
I'm doing fine except confused about why that keeps happening to that one client. @@WilliamsSmith-444
😃👍👍❤️🙏🙏🙏🙏
how can you make an apex for a very curved nail so that it doesn't look like eagle nails?
That’s always hard when a client wants the opposite to what they naturally
Know if they had flat nails and you had to add an Apex that’s different it’s an easy do. But if you have curvy nails and you want more flat look, that’s tough because you do need the structure so they don’t break.
So what I do is I just make the Apex as low as I feel I possibly can for it not to break. I do find people with curvy nails are stronger. So they can have a little less Apex and not break. So it can be done and I made those clients very happy. You just have to experiment and see what little Apex you can get away with it aesthetically pleasing you.
Not only breaking but breaking with damage to he natural nail.
early
That bit looks awesome but the sound it makes me cringe
@WilliamsSmith-444 good and you? You do nails ?
@WilliamsSmith-444 why are you spamming the same message to any female appearing accounts. Plz stop it’s creepy. Good day.
I have so much faith in Suzie, but I don't want an apex on my nail because it's ugly, period. It isn't nice, it isn't cute and I don't want it on my nails. I'm not even willing to dance around the subject anymore, I'll just say exactly what I think and nail technicians better learn that even as a teacher there's a time for talking and there's a time to listen and adjust to survive. You can't keep justifing the apex to clients, things are moving and you're trying to keep that apex still. Stahp it! The clients have had enough of the apex and of the smart a$$ justifications. Everything is evolving, the clients are evolving, their makeup, hair, fashion, their entire look is evolving, but you want to keep that ugly nail feature still. Nobody wants that apex nor the demi-scientific explanation for it.
I very gently file my own natural apex off my nails, because it's just ugly, it's not esthetic. The structure theory is true, but very mildly so. The apex is going to make a difference, but not a huge one. I have friends with natural nails that bend the other way around, they flip upwards. Some of them are more inclined to break, others are stronger or just more lasting without breaking than mine. And they look fvking magnificent, they look like something out of a fairytale. And they don't really have an apex, do they? They have it but the other way around. My husband's natural nail tips are reaching for the stars, his entire nail bed is bent the other way around. If it exists in nature it can surely be artificially reproduced. Point is: Your clients, everyone and their mamas want nails like the natural ones I've described: Nails that flip upwards, not downwards. It's high time you stop trying to justify ugly and get with the times, make those apex-free, straight or upwards flip nails possible. One of my friends with gorgeous upwards tip nails gets away with long nails because hers are naturally very flexible and they bend much rather than break. Maybe take inspiration from that, maybe there can be such a thing as a pretty nail without a hunchback, with some other sort of structure or consistency. I'm sorry for being so direct, but I'm bored with "this is why it CAN'T be done", instead of y'all getting with the times and finding a solution to give us the nails we want. I'm sure it can't be that hard, expecially in collaboration with an engineer, an architect, a chemist. And, as always, if nobody else gets it done, do it yourself. Please don't force me into doing it myself because I'm the busiest girl and nails aren't my 1st field of expertise.
Wow, I've never heard of anyone wanting nails that flip up. Well, besides you! I have natural nails and they have a nice apex and I like them.
Bizarre rant indeed. Nails that flip up look odd and unattractive even stubby. To each his own...
Filing the apex off your NATURAL NAILS is certifiably crazy. You made me read all that nonsense for nothing.
Went way off in the deep end with this one! Wow! Who files the natural apex off their nails? Why won't YOU get with an engineer, architect and/or chemist to solve this- ever so odd- problem that seemingly, only YOU, have a concerning passion for to defeat!
Came here to say this too, ladies. That is insane to me! I like a small apex and without it, my nails don't last OR I end up having to redo my mani due to breakage. And they're my natural length as well.
Nails that flip upwards? Just no!
Happy early labor's Day to you Susie🎉😉💯‼️🥰🗞️📺🎥You do such hard work always. where's a good place to buy the large Swarovski crystals, and rhinestones for the Nails? That's the large-size stones and the medium-to-large size stones? Please let us know
