you ( almost) never adhere the top tabs, and that to me looks like it would create some anxiety, or slight unease. any reason why you don’t ? What a gas. You put the tabs down just as I was typing this...
i know she's a professional who's had a lot of practice BUT I'M STILL ALWAYS AMAZED AND FASCINATED THAT SHE HAS SUCH CONTROL LIKE I CAN'T EVEN PAINT REGULAR NAIL POLISH WITHOUT GETTING IT ALL OVER THE PLACE
@@isabella-og7wn im the same and I been doing my nails every week for a good 4 or 5 years its because my nails are small and the brushes are so wide it makes the polish touch my skin also sometimes it doesnt get all of my nail and theres small space at the side near my skin so i have to sacrifice getting polish on my skin to fill that gap in the nail
xMissMilkyWayx I feel ur pain girl, and here is my solution: I use a cheapie, rectangular, tapered brush for makeup (usually the ones for eyebrows r the best), dip it in the remover and the go around the nail in detail. I’m able to get every crevice and any type of mistake. It takes a lil bit of practice but after u try it once I guarantee u will get a hang of it!!!
Love how you show the real stuff of being a nail tech, like having a hair stick to the gel or the label upside down on the product! It makes me feel a little closer to you and dont forget we're all human
FINALLY! Was waiting for a video on this! As a gel based tech, don't get why people are acrylic crazy. Gel can be just as strong, can come in many colors, and very versatile. Thanks a bunch for this video Suzie! 😙
So interesting because I'm watching this video and thinking... "Why?" Lol. This seems like it would take forever. I see the old school Tammy Taylor 4 ball acrylic method being so much faster. I loooove gel, but I don't think I'd be into this. It's fun to watch though! Never stop learning! 🤓
I’m hooked she is my go to in this COVID pandemic. I will not be going to anymore salons. Now I have the confidence to try new things as much as I want.
hey Susie I couldn't help but notice, especially in this video, your natural nails are absolutely beautiful. how do you keep your natural nails so healthy with all this product use?
Thank you so much Suzie ♥. I worked with acrylic from Day one and since I discovered you I always used your advice to become better. Now I'm pregnant and I didn't want to work with the chemicals anymore, so the only option was gel. I'm really afraid of it, because it's so different from acrylic and I had to start all over again.. And now you uploaded this video! In 30 minutes you are teaching me and I think a lot other people so much.. Just Thank you 💕
Erza Luth It takes some patience, but once you get the hang of it gel is VERY versatile. You can mold with it, paint with it, and can better mix colors with it than acrylic in my opinion. Don't give up, and congratulations on your newest treasure to your family! Good luck! 😘😘😘
Thank you so much for making these free educational videos! They are super helpful for people just getting into doing their own nails as a hobby or looking into it as a career!
I think you are the best nail educator out there. I have learnt from the ground up with you and now do my own nails at home. Loving the 'nuke', the box throwing and camera-man. Rock those nails Suzie. Awesome videos. Wish i could get your natural looking gel her in OZ.
You are a charming teacher for those who're following you; i see you for the first time and i must say i had a great pleasure to look at and listen to you) best wishes from Moldova
Nail Career Education Hey, Suzie... Do you know where the public (without training) can buy Gelish Polygel in Canada (or with fair shipping costs to Canada), without dealing with resellers / possible fakes? Any info on this would be hugely appreciated!
Thank you for doing this tutorial with Gel. I started doing my own gel nails 6 months ago after discovering your channel. I'm proud to say that I've improved significantly since then under your tutelage. Now I have another video to reference if I want to see how to do it.
You are the "Bob Ross" of Nails and that's a compliment. Such great techniques and soothing voice. Thanks Suzie for these wonderful tutorials. You make it look extremely easy!
The whole reason why I watch her videos is because they are so satisfying to watch. Like sometimes when I'm having a hard time going to sleep I watch one and after I can go right to sleep
Thank you for putting this up! I am an at-home user and doing acrylics was a bad experience for me- so very frustrating and an intense amount of filing. I went a bought the IBD hard gel from Sally’s and it’s been a godsend. Please teach us more, and maybe we could have some easy designs? That would be fabulous. Also, thank you for all that you do, you seem like the sweetest woman. Have a great day!
My school is behind when it comes to nails. They don't teach gel AT ALL. So I am learning a L O T on my own and thanks to you I have already learned so much about current techniques. Thank you so much for your time.
Suzie, I absolutely love your videos. Continued education and refreshing knowledge is so important in this industry, and your videos make that a dream. I wonder though if you might consider doing a video on the importance of properly disinfecting tools and surfaces, and how key general hygiene practices are to providing a good and safe service? Lack of knowledge in this area is one of the biggest issues in a lot of salons, and with your platform you could make a big difference there. Thank you for the time and care you put into these videos, they really are great to see.
In the past i didn't know how to speak English, not even texting and i watched one of your videos and i did not understand anything, but now that i have learned it ,i understand and I'm happy about it ! Love from Romania! ❤💛💙
Im obsessed with her videos lol i feel like i am going to be one of the best in my nail class because of this channel (and two other you-tubers) thanks a lot 💁🏾
After watching your videos for several years, I finally got the courage to go and have my first set of gel nails. They are not as flawless as yours but they're pretty and I love them 😊
I just adore Suzie's and camera man's videos the music is so relaxing, these videos puts in such a mellow mood and I feel so happy after even on my bad days lol. Plus even though I do not have an interest in becoming a nail tech, everything I watch give me an inside on what to look for when getting my nails done so they don't get damaged, give me an infections or an allergic reaction; or mess up my gels or acrylics.
I've watched Suzie before Jenna to relax and literally this makes me fall asleep and then when Jenna mentioned her I was like GURL ARE WE THE SAME PERSON
I am absolutely loving the new way that you are creating the videos - adding the text in point form and definitions. It is another great learning tool. Love the channel Susie and looking forward to what is coming in the future.
Wanting to take the plunge and do my own nails... will test drive a pop first I think. Watching this as my new rescue pup is spazzing out having fun, and then SILENCE. Uh oh. Turn around, he's sound asleep, lulled by Suzie's gentle voice. Ahhhh yesss... gotcha! Lol! Thanks Suzie... you have to visit Ottawa, one day. Used to live there, but moved back to small town. 🤷🏼♀️😉 I did my big city time.
I’m doing at myself gel nails at home (not a pro). Very happy to see gel nail Video of you, Suzie :) For my opinion it is really difficult to find someone on TH-cam, who is doing gel and not acrylic nails.
I wanted to do my own nails but figured acrylic was too difficult. I taught myself how to do hard gel extensions. It was so difficult to figure it out do to a lack of information online. I'm so glad you posted this Suzie.
i got acrylics about a week or two ago, and the person got the primer on my skin after the drill thing, it felt like my skin was on fire! it was terrible
Acid based primes usually burn especially if you have a little cut. The primer I'm using won't burn even if I accidentally touch my skin it all depends on the product too
Susie I love your videos. Nails was not a thing that I was interested in at all. One day, I came across with one of your videos and the way that you explain things, and your charisma, contributed to me considering becoming a nail technician 🌸
I've been doing nails for over a year now & I've learned so much from your videos. I deserve my nail tech license from watching and learning from your videos! LMAO
Samantha Veras me too!! I did my cousins nails for her 18th birthday and I'm self taught(for now) and she juat went to the salon to get her feet done and they lady's were asking her where s he got her nails done and she told them that I did them and they were all telling her that I need to go work there lmao I just need my licence and I will be able to
Thank you very much! I am not a nail tech but i like playing with my nails. And i love long nails but my natural nails break easily. Now i will use builder gel to make them strong, and learning tips and tricks from you gives me self confidence about it❤ I love watching your videos thank you♡♡♡♡
I was hoping that camera man would choose "Vilnius" gel colour, because it is my hometown, but also other colours looked absolutely stunning. You nailed it, Suzie. Love your videos
Wow! Your nails look so beautiful! I am going to try and do this myself. I don't know how I will do the right hand though, but it seems like it's a lot easier than acrylic. I like that you can take your time on it before you decide to cure it. Thanks for sharing😉
Hi Susie, thank you so much for a great video! I'm new to nails as I studied gel and acrylic in 2010 but was terrible at it. Now I've got the desire to try again. Your tips on details in application is key, very very helpful such as circular movements or back & forth etc, very helpful! I'm looking forward to doing more. Knowledge is power! 😁
Hi I had a real bad alergic reaction to acrylic, my hands got swollen and itchy and lost my own nail. Its been years since I've done anything to my nails. I would love to get my nails done but I fear of having a reaction to the chemicals. What do you suggest what product to use?
Emily Diaz I’m allergic to acrylics but gel feels absolutely fine everytime I do my nails. Try to get a high quality gel product, not just cheap. Like something from the nail hub or so. I use a hypoallergenic builder gel, for example
I bite my nails, have never painted my nails and have no interest in doing nails. I just love your videos, however, and come watch you any chance I get. You have such a soothing voice and calm demeanor - your videos really mellow me out at the end of the day. Thanks for all your hard work - your video quality keeps getting better and better -
I have a question for Suzie, or anyone with a good guess I suppose. One of my coworkers over the summer came in one day with nail extensions. I wear acrylics, so I asked her if she'd gotten a set done. She looked, well the only word that comes to mind is 'scandalized', and proceeded to talk about how she'd never wear acrylics because they destroy your nails. She'd gotten a hard gel set put on. My question is why do you think there's this misconception about acrylics being worse for your nails than gel? I know from your videos that the nail prep is the same for both, and the core ingredients are the same as well. I am confused. Also yes I know that acrylic/gel doesn't ruin nails when applied correctly.
Morgan Waas An interesting co-worker you got there. 😐 As a nail tech, it has a lot to do with the media telling the public stuff they don't know themselves. Add to the fact that bad nail techs give good techs a bad rep is another reason. And personally I blame people for choosing to be ignorant and saying "all nail enhancements are bad. For example, had a customer who would come in and only ask for repairs on her nails because they would chip all the time. A lot of my cowokers (and salon founder for that mattet) didn't like dealing with her but once I did her repairs with hard gel extensions the right way, she never broke her nails again. (Plus, her nails grew just fine afterwards) As one of the co-founders of Young Nails would say: It's not the tools who do damage, it's the fools who do damage. 😜
Suzie did a video a little while ago on it... One of my coworkers is the same, insists gel polish is bad for her nails but also insists the women she goes to doesn't over file her nails, if she wants to think like that she can, I do my sisters nails in gel polish and as long as she gets me to take it off with acetone, rather then picking it her nails are fine, really nice and strong still. My natural nails are a lost cause, always have been always will be, the next person to tell me if I take my acrylics off I'll have lovely natural nails is getting hurt (cause yes they will be lovely and long, for about 10 seconds until I break them), my nails are in fine health underneath them, I just can't grow them to the length I like them at the moment and keep em that way.
A lot of times people puck at their nails when they start to lift. I do it too but I'm a non practicing tech (I only do my own) But..... I stop myself and grab a nail file until I can get home and fix it😆. But they puck and lift their nails more; thereby ripping the surface of their natural nail off; therefore; creating damage. If any of your clients come in for a fix, ask them; if possible, to bring in the nail that came off. Show them the underside of the nail. Take pics of it and post it everywhere!!! Awareness😊
Morgan Waas lmao I just tell my Mom acrylic nails are better than gel nails so she lets me get them also I think it like rips some of you natural nail of
Never used a base gel, the brand I use doesn't make one, I do use alcohol, dehydrator and Gelish PH Balance first before I build the nail. I have many clients that prefer the extra strength of a tip instead of using a form but so far, never had a lift, a break or had a nail pop off. I've gone from acrylic to almost completely gel work. Gel is so much "Lighter" on the finger than acrylic, I noticed that change when I switched myself. Don't think I'll ever go back to acrylic again! Love your channel, it's so informative and interesting!
I'm not a technician or intend to be one professionally (I want to make a course so I can do other people's nails for fun though but not in a near future). But just as a Nail art fan I need to tell you how your technics please me so much and relax me and your voice is so spectacular and I wish my teacher is as sweet as you are.
You're a very good teacher 😘 and very pedagogically. Thanks for your video and advice. Never done gel before. Just acrylic and it was 15 years ago. You gave me strenght to try my hidden skills again😂. Wish me luck 🙊 Have a great day! Greetings from Sweden 💖
I love the music in your video. I usually watch after a normal work day because I love doing my nails and I've learned a lot from watching your vids. But the music is a totally plus ;) so soothing
I’m really thinking about getting acrylics or gel nails, but I just can’t convince myself to go to a nail salon :/ I just don’t feel like anyone would do it as great as you suzie... or at least no one at a salon I can afford to go to And also I’m doing a lot of sports and I think they would just get in the way or get ruined :( But they always look so pretty T.T
Steffi IMHO if doing lots of sports I'd try a very short nail.. that's what I'm going to do to mine. . Just long enough to design on oh and if you go for gel get a clear that you can encapsulate the color inside off.. my gel nails are growing out and color not damaged at all!! Get a very thin viscosity gel for top layer, so you can indeed turn your finger upside down and it will level out very smooth I barley had to file surface, even didn't on a few.. did my dominant hand too... Just waited a few days longer to get my courage up!! I used products from Akzentz you can get pro formulas without liscence... nail hubs channel has full tutorial. . And link to products though I used allot of Suzie advice and decorative ideas, combined a few things to make my own... I dipped tip in glitter, (from her glitter french and the dip method used on another video) and encapsulated on one hand.. did gold foil on other, over a thin orange gel polish. Held sone baling in place using Suzie method. .. . looks awesome! ! IMHO my first full set with forms, 2nd set ever used tips didn't like them. If you go to a salon let them know you do sports and they need to last thru punishment! !! If they suggest something for that or seem to understand then you may have found a good tech..if they look at you like yeah whatever walk out! !!
Steffi I would say stick to a short size and simple designs. Or if you wanna be a bit aventuous, encapsulated designs. Sports CAN make getting long nails dangerous so always be safe first! 😘
Hola! Te veo desde Chile y este debe ser uno de los videos mejores explicados que he visto. Clarisimo! // Hi! I'm writing you from Chile and this must be one of the best well explained videos I've seen so far. Cristal clear!
Hi Suzie, I'm very interested in becoming a nail technician. I have self taught myself how to do gel extensions. I have recently been questioning whether or not to go through with becoming a nail tech. Is it as enjoyable as just doing your own designs? How has your own career been? Was it ever tough to stick with it?
she reminds me of a magical, fairy godmother
Right 😂
Jeuir
You mean she’s not???
@@sofiasouza1052!
I thought that when I saw her using a crystal wand-looking brush in one of her videos!🪄🤣
Susie is the Bob Ross of nails😍😍
Dee' Jones ahhaa yes
SHE EVEN HAS HIS LAUGH
Dee' Jones TRRRRUE
Agreed
💆
I sometimes wonder how Suzie can be this eloquent and fluent without a teleprompter or script! I could hear Suzie talk all day.
K Mahajan same💘
She has years of experience as a nail technician, and as a teacher for her salon’s school, so it just comes so naturally for her!💖
she has great skill. can do ( and has done) wonderful voiceovers, as I just learned. She would be a perfect voice for audio books also...
you ( almost) never adhere the top tabs, and that to me looks like it would create some anxiety, or slight unease. any reason why you don’t ? What a gas. You put the tabs down just as I was typing this...
I agree with you she is like angel
i know she's a professional who's had a lot of practice BUT I'M STILL ALWAYS AMAZED AND FASCINATED THAT SHE HAS SUCH CONTROL LIKE I CAN'T EVEN PAINT REGULAR NAIL POLISH WITHOUT GETTING IT ALL OVER THE PLACE

Suzie!! You are the Bob Ross of nail art. I could listen to you alllllll day!
27 minute long video, we have been blessed
Lujain K for real
How long before editing xD
I don't do nails. I don't get my nails done. I don't even paint my nails that often. I'm just here because Suzie is calming and entertaining.
FINALLY! Was waiting for a video on this! As a gel based tech, don't get why people are acrylic crazy. Gel can be just as strong, can come in many colors, and very versatile.
Thanks a bunch for this video Suzie! 😙
+lnuma92 yup- its all about structure 😀
I only use hard gel haha
So interesting because I'm watching this video and thinking... "Why?" Lol. This seems like it would take forever. I see the old school Tammy Taylor 4 ball acrylic method being so much faster.
I loooove gel, but I don't think I'd be into this. It's fun to watch though! Never stop learning! 🤓
I think the big advantage is that it is low odor. You also don't have to worry about getting the liquid-to-powder ratio right.
lnuma92 I can't fine one SINGLE nail tech that works with builder gel in my area. Its so frustrating! I want to try it so badly
I’m hooked she is my go to in this COVID pandemic. I will not be going to anymore salons. Now I have the confidence to try new things as much as I want.
ugh you have perfect natural nails. i wish mine looked like yours.. 😭😭😭
+Presley Burns thanks Presley
Nail Career Education Need to show is a video on that cause their beautiful! Don't know how you keep them like that.
هههههههه
After watching different channels for the past 2 years...., Suzie, you are one of the top 3 instructors on video!! Thank you!
Ok. Ok. So I finally tried to build out my nails with gel. They look AMAZING! No tips. So much faster. This is my life now. Yay!
I freaking love this woman’s energy. So genuine, kind and soft. 🤍 And professional!!! THANK YOU for this vid!
I tried it and now I have a fidget spinner baked into my nail... Help!!!

I did my cousins nails for her 18th birthday and I'm self taught(for now) and she juat went to the salon to get her feet done and they lady's were asking her where s he got her nails done and she told them that I did them and they were all telling her that I need to go work there lmao I just need my licence and I will be able to
Jenny Get it girl
Same here, I only hope that it will be possible at some point!
Thank you very much! I am not a nail tech but i like playing with my nails. And i love long nails but my natural nails break easily. Now i will use builder gel to make them strong, and learning tips and tricks from you gives me self confidence about it❤ I love watching your videos thank you♡♡♡♡
What has happened to Susie tossing stuff (trash) over her shoulder? That makes me giggle every time. And camera man could add a "explosion" sound. Lol
I was hoping that camera man would choose "Vilnius" gel colour, because it is my hometown, but also other colours looked absolutely stunning. You nailed it, Suzie. Love your videos
Why do your videos seem 'Magical' I absolutely love watching you and I still haven't been able to buy my own stuff to do my nails. ;)
London and Stockholm are totally my favourites! Now I need these gel sets
Suzie you're such a great teacher 😊 you nails are awesome 😍❤
Wow! Your nails look so beautiful! I am going to try and do this myself. I don't know how I will do the right hand though, but it seems like it's a lot easier than acrylic. I like that you can take your time on it before you decide to cure it. Thanks for sharing😉
class has been seated...and we are all ears
Hi Susie, thank you so much for a great video! I'm new to nails as I studied gel and acrylic in 2010 but was terrible at it. Now I've got the desire to try again. Your tips on details in application is key, very very helpful such as circular movements or back & forth etc, very helpful! I'm looking forward to doing more. Knowledge is power! 😁
Oh my WELCOME Back💜 & thank you.
Thank you so much 🌷 😊 🌈 💖
Hi I had a real bad alergic reaction to acrylic, my hands got swollen and itchy and lost my own nail. Its been years since I've done anything to my nails. I would love to get my nails done but I fear of having a reaction to the chemicals. What do you suggest what product to use?
Emily Diaz
I’m allergic to acrylics but gel feels absolutely fine everytime I do my nails.
Try to get a high quality gel product, not just cheap. Like something from the nail hub or so.
I use a hypoallergenic builder gel, for example
I bite my nails, have never painted my nails and have no interest in doing nails. I just love your videos, however, and come watch you any chance I get. You have such a soothing voice and calm demeanor - your videos really mellow me out at the end of the day. Thanks for all your hard work - your video quality keeps getting better and better -
I have a question for Suzie, or anyone with a good guess I suppose.
One of my coworkers over the summer came in one day with nail extensions. I wear acrylics, so I asked her if she'd gotten a set done. She looked, well the only word that comes to mind is 'scandalized', and proceeded to talk about how she'd never wear acrylics because they destroy your nails. She'd gotten a hard gel set put on.
My question is why do you think there's this misconception about acrylics being worse for your nails than gel? I know from your videos that the nail prep is the same for both, and the core ingredients are the same as well. I am confused.
Also yes I know that acrylic/gel doesn't ruin nails when applied correctly.
Morgan Waas
An interesting co-worker you got there. 😐
As a nail tech, it has a lot to do with the media telling the public stuff they don't know themselves. Add to the fact that bad nail techs give good techs a bad rep is another reason. And personally I blame people for choosing to be ignorant and saying "all nail enhancements are bad. For example, had a customer who would come in and only ask for repairs on her nails because they would chip all the time. A lot of my cowokers (and salon founder for that mattet) didn't like dealing with her but once I did her repairs with hard gel extensions the right way, she never broke her nails again. (Plus, her nails grew just fine afterwards)
As one of the co-founders of Young Nails would say: It's not the tools who do damage, it's the fools who do damage. 😜
Suzie did a video a little while ago on it...
One of my coworkers is the same, insists gel polish is bad for her nails but also insists the women she goes to doesn't over file her nails, if she wants to think like that she can, I do my sisters nails in gel polish and as long as she gets me to take it off with acetone, rather then picking it her nails are fine, really nice and strong still. My natural nails are a lost cause, always have been always will be, the next person to tell me if I take my acrylics off I'll have lovely natural nails is getting hurt (cause yes they will be lovely and long, for about 10 seconds until I break them), my nails are in fine health underneath them, I just can't grow them to the length I like them at the moment and keep em that way.
A lot of times people puck at their nails when they start to lift. I do it too but I'm a non practicing tech (I only do my own) But..... I stop myself and grab a nail file until I can get home and fix it😆. But they puck and lift their nails more; thereby ripping the surface of their natural nail off; therefore; creating damage.
If any of your clients come in for a fix, ask them; if possible, to bring in the nail that came off. Show them the underside of the nail. Take pics of it and post it everywhere!!! Awareness😊
*pick......*pick. Oh dear😕
Morgan Waas lmao I just tell my Mom acrylic nails are better than gel nails so she lets me get them also I think it like rips some of you natural nail of
Never used a base gel, the brand I use doesn't make one, I do use alcohol, dehydrator and Gelish PH Balance first before I build the nail. I have many clients that prefer the extra strength of a tip instead of using a form but so far, never had a lift, a break or had a nail pop off. I've gone from acrylic to almost completely gel work. Gel is so much "Lighter" on the finger than acrylic, I noticed that change when I switched myself. Don't think I'll ever go back to acrylic again! Love your channel, it's so informative and interesting!
You've inspired Jenna Marbles again hehe love you! 💜 lovely nails as always
Loved the honest way he said: "I just like to say Helsinki"..very helpful video..thanks
Suzie is the Bob Ross of nails 😍
I'm not a technician or intend to be one professionally (I want to make a course so I can do other people's nails for fun though but not in a near future). But just as a Nail art fan I need to tell you how your technics please me so much and relax me and your voice is so spectacular and I wish my teacher is as sweet as you are.
Hello again Suzy! Came from Jenna's Channel, thanks for the inspiration! :)
You're a very good teacher 😘 and very pedagogically. Thanks for your video and advice. Never done gel before. Just acrylic and it was 15 years ago. You gave me strenght to try my hidden skills again😂. Wish me luck 🙊
Have a great day! Greetings from Sweden 💖
I haven't been on your channel in so long, I missed you and camera man
I love the music in your video. I usually watch after a normal work day because I love doing my nails and I've learned a lot from watching your vids. But the music is a totally plus ;) so soothing
Does the IT clown mean you'll be postin a video doin Halloween designs lol i would love to see that
Hahaha you sneaky 😂😂
Great video..explains gel process...working up the courage to do my own. Love the Halloween nail too!
I’m really thinking about getting acrylics or gel nails, but I just can’t convince myself to go to a nail salon :/
I just don’t feel like anyone would do it as great as you suzie... or at least no one at a salon I can afford to go to
And also I’m doing a lot of sports and I think they would just get in the way or get ruined :(
But they always look so pretty T.T
Steffi IMHO if doing lots of sports I'd try a very short nail.. that's what I'm going to do to mine. . Just long enough to design on oh and if you go for gel get a clear that you can encapsulate the color inside off.. my gel nails are growing out and color not damaged at all!! Get a very thin viscosity gel for top layer, so you can indeed turn your finger upside down and it will level out very smooth I barley had to file surface, even didn't on a few.. did my dominant hand too... Just waited a few days longer to get my courage up!! I used products from Akzentz you can get pro formulas without liscence... nail hubs channel has full tutorial. . And link to products though I used allot of Suzie advice and decorative ideas, combined a few things to make my own... I dipped tip in glitter, (from her glitter french and the dip method used on another video) and encapsulated on one hand.. did gold foil on other, over a thin orange gel polish. Held sone baling in place using Suzie method. .. . looks awesome! ! IMHO my first full set with forms, 2nd set ever used tips didn't like them. If you go to a salon let them know you do sports and they need to last thru punishment! !! If they suggest something for that or seem to understand then you may have found a good tech..if they look at you like yeah whatever walk out! !!
Steffi
I would say stick to a short size and simple designs. Or if you wanna be a bit aventuous, encapsulated designs.
Sports CAN make getting long nails dangerous so always be safe first! 😘
Dip acrylics are really easy to do on yourself :) Suzie has a video on doing them
This was a great tutorial. I love the way you explain all the steps and extra tips. The colors are very pretty. I would love to try the Mosaic brand.
OHHH HELLLL YEAAAAAA (came from her video)
Hola! Te veo desde Chile y este debe ser uno de los videos mejores explicados que he visto. Clarisimo! // Hi! I'm writing you from Chile and this must be one of the best well explained videos I've seen so far. Cristal clear!
Hi Suzie, I'm very interested in becoming a nail technician. I have self taught myself how to do gel extensions. I have recently been questioning whether or not to go through with becoming a nail tech. Is it as enjoyable as just doing your own designs? How has your own career been? Was it ever tough to stick with it?
Beautiful Job! I'm not a fan of scary, however, I am a fan of art. You did a fantastic job on the IT nail. I love all of those colors on you!
Can’t you make a video about how you see what kind of shape your natural nail is?
This was so satisfying to watch, your voice is so soothing. Learnt so much
