I work at a hospital and one of my patients is into nails, she watches your videos and likes to practice on me. She has came so far. My nails always look fabulous.
Lauryn Anderson Thats so cuteeee ❤️
They let you have nails when working with patients?
Science Is Amazing you can have nails just not very long babe.
Lauryn Anderson this comment was so sweet and uplifting 🥰
Now that's dope. ❤😊
Great tips! It took me years to be able to do my none dominant hand flawlessly.
i think you do a great job. self educated. really fantastic girl. Greetings from europe
Suzie: "The pinky doesn't get out much; it doesn't do much. It just looks adorable."
Me: It me
paytonisdying best part
I severed both tendons in my pinky finger a few ears ago. Trust me, your little finger does a lot more than you think! Went an entire summer with no deodorant under my right arm cause I couldn’t hold the stick.
Lol best comment
mitchykinsxx Omg! That’s terrible!
My pinky nails always breas first haha
I appreciate how real you are in showing that no matter how professional and well trained you are, there are still many obstacles to overcome and new products/techniques to learn. This is great advice for anyone learning to a well trained professional. ❤️❤️❤️ Happy holidays Suzie!
I agree. Couldn't have put it into better words.
“I apologize if this looks clunky and not very graceful, but it’s my opposite hand!”
Suzie,,, if I were to do that, it would look clunky even if I did it with my dominant hand. What you’re doing is amazing to me 🤣
Yeassss!!! To a T! Hehehe! Agree! She is amazing!
I was about to say this😂
Ha ha ha ... so true! Me too!
When I did my first set on my own, I found the movements were very awkward for either hand. I bought a practice hand to practice on to hopefully get over that.
It's 1am but forget about sleep, Nail Career Education just posted
same
It's 10am now and Gods honey truth, i watched her all night long. I'm still not ready to look away 😉
Hi Suzie I am learning and watching your videos helps me a lot. I have trouble applying the acrylic powder it get hard to fast. I brought many brushes but not using properly and the brush is ruined. What am I doing wrong?
4:29 am, some years later, but getting some courage to do my opposite hand.
I don’t know why but hearing you talk and saying everything is alright , just makes me more happy and comfortable. because I just started learning how to do nails and this is the first video that actually gives me motivation to keep doing my best😊 thank you 🙏
This comment ❤
What’s oN YoUr OtHeR hANd?!!? 💿
laurenn aren’t you a little too old to be watching simplynail whatever he name is??
Lizette Robles no, I watch it all the time.
Lizette Robles mate, why does it bother you that I like that channel? Each to their own 🤷♀️🤦♀️🙄
Lizette Robles i usually mind my own business, but i think it's rude to be telling someone that they're too old to be watching certain stuff.
Please spread your cancer elsewhere. We don’t need another swivel fiasco.
I have never had acrylic nails, and I don't think I'll ever do acrylic on my other hand myself, but still I have been subscribed to you a long long while ago and watch and enjoy all your videos.. Love you so much Suzie❤️
Thank you so much for your your expertise Suzie! I was about to give up, but I used multiple smaller beads today and got my non dominant hand done. I think it looks great 😍
I was so happy to see this video. Every time I do my nails, I’m always criticizing myself for being so slow and have such unattractive nails on my dominant hand. Once I file they look great. I’ll learn to ease up on myself.
Qubilah Harden saaame, it takes me ages!
I'd love to learn to do how to do my nails or anyone's nails for that matter. Suzie a good teacher.
Out of all the videos I watch, it's so refreshing to see the real truth in doing your own nails. Thank you for letting us see that even a pro like you, you do struggle with your non-dominant hand. No selfie filters here! Very honest and real. You are the absolute best !!! You other guys putting out videos should take a lesson here! I challenge you to do the same thing!!!!!!
Glad to know Im not the only one up this late!! At least I have something interesting to watch instead of informercials on cable. Thanks Suzie!!!
I love her vibe. I feel like I’m actually in a classroom and her personality is so warm ❤️
"The pinky doesn't really do much, doesn't get out much."
Gee, never thought I'd relate to a pinky so much
I really appreciate that you posted this video. I am somewhat ambidextrous, but this really made me appreciate how skilled I am at doing my own right hand.
Thanks for sharing this useful tutorial ☺️😘
You are a wonderful teacher!!!
Merry Christmas to you and yours 🎄✨
.....Merry Christmas to the Cameraman too 😉
Suzie. Honestly. You are the best. You give inspiration and life you the next generation of inspirational artists.
I've been doing nail art for years after taking a nail tech class 20 years ago. I dropped out so no license. Wish I would've finished. Acrylics were horrible smelling and just hard to work with for me. I saw videos on hard gel and knew that was for me. Time to shape and easier filing were exactly what I needed.
For the last year I've been practicing with hard gel overlays and extensions both on myself and my friends. My e-file has been a godsend!I now get little to no lifting on my nails or my friends'! I get comments on my nails daily and my friends do,too, and your videos are the reason why! I'm ready to practice acrylics again,too, as I now feel I have the knowledge to get that application right this time around.
Your calm demeanor and detailed instruction is exactly what teaches people the technique....school teaches the basics and the laws of the business...you teach how to be successful in the business and both are crucial. I'm doing the reverse now...learning successful technique THEN taking the class for licensing so when I'm licensed I hit the ground running.
Ok, no lie. I was just thinking that I wish someone would show us how to apply acrylic to the dominate hand so, thank you!'
I was just thinking this today!
me too
i’m getting my first acrylic nail kit for christmas ☺️ i’m so excited to begin doing nails, i’m sure your videos are gonna be a huge help
Lauren Madison it helps a lot!
Lauren Madison I’m getting one too! I wish us both luck and patience. 🤣
Good luck! 🍀
Good luck may the force be with you,harder than it looks!!
G Wiz I’m getting the artisan starter acrylic kit
“I am not ambidextrous I can barely say the word “ 😂😂😂😂 that was so funny to me
Btw doing my opposite hand is torture sometimes I want to cry
Cece Marie Me too haha! I get so frustrated
Thank you thank you thank you! I am not a nail Tech and I have not gone to nail school. But I do my own nails and I'm getting a lot better and this video was so helpful. I think I left a comment a few weeks ago that it would be awesome to get a video showing us how to do the right hand for us right-handers. Thank you for sharing Susie!!!!
I'd love to see you react to old pictures of glamour shots and share stories about how your techniques have improved over your career
She is verry creative about design i do pick some flower to the park and i will make it dry...i will try what she did such a wonderfull design...
Thank you Suzie for all these tutorials you make, they have helped me get thru nail school and I wanted to let U know I graduated back on August 6th which was also my Birthday. Thanx again!
"I am not ambidextrous, I can barely say the word." God, thank you for Suzie, the Queen of the Beautiful People club. And thank you so much for discrediting the 'one-bead method', it drives me crazy when other techs focus on making one giant bead and moving faster to get the client out of there instead of the shape and smoothness of the nail.
Finally!! I needed this. Started to do my own acrylic nails and I’m barely good at it yet with my good hand! Doing my opposite hand is even worse. Thanks Suzie!
I love how she kept saying “littler bead” instead of “smaller bead” 😂😂😂
You were reading my mind, I always wondered how you did your other hand.
Thank you so much for your splendid tutorials. I’ve been doing my nails for 21 years and it got to a point where the UV light did some damage to my nails and fingers so I’ve had to rest my nails and I am beginning to do acrylic nails on my own. Little by little I’ve learned show much from you. God bless you!!! You seem like such a lovely woman of God who makes other women look good. Have a wonderful day and may your career be extended to other nations.
I love this lady (first time viewer) and I just feel like she’s so warm and loving
Tfs. I am saving this tutorial for future reference. I feel so good hearing that even long-time professionals aren't perfect with doing their non-dominant hand. Ty so much. 💖💝💕😘
Suzie, I'm going through a terrible time. A family member is very close to passing away from cancer, and I can't tell you how much these three videos in one week have cheered me up! I'm serious! I get so happy when I see your videos, so does my husband! We both watch them together! Anyhow, thank you Suzie and Cameraman!
+No No ☹️☹️☹️☹️sadly, i feel your pain. My mom suffered with Cancer. I wish it upon no one.
I hope your family member is not in pain and is as comfortable as can be - we would play my moms favourite music, im very sure she heard it. Smiling on the inside😀sometimes its the little things
I'm in a very similar situation. I really like the entire setup and performances. Thanks to Sizoe for keeping interested minds and hearts occupied! Even if I don't do my own nails, I hold my nail tech to high standards. And all I get are deluxe mani pedis with gel polish on my nails.
I’m so very sorry for your loss!
No No sending you love!!!!
I'm so sorry to hear about your ill family member. Sending up some good thoughts.
Thanks for the tips and honesty. I was so getting down on myself and second guessing if I'm getting into the right profession.
Can you do a tutorial on short acrylic nails? I find them so hard to do workout making them thick and chunky looking.
+Sarah R. Good point- your right it can be tough- i will 😀
Watch how she did Grant’s Nails. They aren’t long.
SCSilk Good point, I’ll rewatch that, too!
I LOVE your Christmas-y nail art! So pretty!
Can we please talk about where that cute cardigan is from?
I just love your personality and charisma!!!
I would like to volunteer myself to be a hand model for your videos.
Katelynn omg same
Same! I was always the hand model when I was in cosmetology, always loved it.
I feel so encouraged now! Yes, getting it done IS a chore that I'm pleased to finish. Thank you for showing me I'm not doing too badly when doing my opposite hand. Merry Christmas! This was a great gift of encouragement. 😙
If only I could do that good on my normal hand...
+Shelby Wyatt i hear ya
I’m 17 and I have been doing my own nails for a couple years now. I just started using forms because my mother only uses tips, so this video was very very helpful. I’ll definitely be using this video my next go.❤️❤️
You should try the snow globe nails like SimplyNailogical. Those were really cool and I feel like you could do them well!!
Jayden Kennedy yesss it'd be so cool!!
thank you ,this was right on time. i am trying to switch to forms on myself and i realize how much work you put into learning. xo
i have been painting my nails for years an my right hand is just now starting to look ok and that is just with nail polish
Thank you for doing these videos! I appreciate them so much and they're so zen to me
Suzie, thank you for helping me keep my nails beautiful! Without your guidance they’d be something else. You da best 💅🏻😻
+UnkawaiiBaka awwwwee
Thanks for the video I do my own scupted gel nails and all the technigques on placing the product and filing I have been doing on my non dominant hand and I though I was doing it wrong but you made me realize I have been doing it right. Thanks Suzie
My busiest finger is my middle finger.
+hippiechickie18 lol 😉
hippiechickie18
Lmao! Girl, mine too...mine too 😜
I love watching your show! I have learned so much from your videos. Keep up the good work. You are AWESOME!
Hi Suzie
Ive been doing my nails for about a year now I do them in gel and when I was Christmas shopping yesterday I got my first complement on how beautiful my nails look and had I just had them done for Christmas, when I said oh no I do them myself she grabbed my hand and said oh my do you really I laughed and said yes I actually just filled them yesterday she then grabbed both of my hands and was intensely looking at them and was amazed at how "professional" they looked ☺
I thanked her and told her she had made my day
So all my hard work has paid off
Beautiful. Thanks for the tips and for sharing your opposite hand techniques Suzie ♡♡
Suzie! Do you do your toenails? Can you show us how you do a pedicure? Even a manicure?!!
Also the way you clean your tools. Thanks!!!
Love you Suzie 💖 you’re a fantastic teacher !
I actually enjoy doing my right hand. It’s hard and the filing sucks, but I’m more thorough and the nails actually often ends up prettier than my left hand in the end. I’m not a tech yet(I hope to be able to get training in the new year) and I’m 1 year on since I bought my first acrylic started set. And man I have come a long way, just in the recent few times I have been doing my nails they have become much more uniform and thinner. In the beginning they where VERY bulky because I had no idea how they where supposed to look and how easily they would break
Suzie always coming through with the helpful tips! 😘😘
I love that you have years of experience as a professional and still struggle with your non dominant hand. I have been doing mine for 2 years now and I struggle as well. I still have trouble building up my spec. When I do they look to thick. I like thinner nails bit I want the strength. Any tips?
I've learned to do the difficult hand first. Sorta helps❤
Love that you did this tutorial. I also love how honest you are about when you first started out. I recently commented on another video that you did about how I started doing my nails sometime this year and I wanted to give up the other day cause I wasn't getting it right.....but seeing this really help me out a lot. Thank you so much.
OMG ... I loved! I'm from Brazil and I learned a lot from your video !! I hope someday I can have as much skill as you! Congratulations on your work.
When it’s 12 am you gotta be asleep cause you have work tomorrow but you digging the videos so you stay up xD
As I'm still watching your video, I do the same thing about checking to nail as you go including looking for areas that will crack. I'm feeling good about myself to figuring that out on my own. 😄
Suzie, my nails have a very strong c curve, they're almost like little 'u' shapes. I tried to use a form and I ended up getting acrylic underneath all of my nails because the form wasn't sitting properly underneath my nail. Do you have any advice or tips I could use?
Try making a custom form. Suzie recently did a video on how to make your own forms. Try giving that a go. Good luck!
Thank you, I'll try that!
YamiAshy maybe pinching the forms with your thumbs before putting them on would help
YamiAshy get some Tammy Taylor forms, her forms come in three different styles to accommodate different nail shapes.
Suzie you did a great job!🎉 I would definitely use an E fiel. I've also done my non-dominant hand but I did it with Builder gel. I would love to do it with acrylic and dipping powder. Nail art is not my profession but I still love it and is one of my best Hobbies.
Can you all like this so camera man does suzie’s nails pls? It would be their Xmas gift to us lol 😆
Kale Rdz ! At least with polish and gel polish so he won't ruin her nails with acrylic lol I'm sure he's learned a lot for her
I love your videos!! They are so satisfying and well made! I literally watch them all day. Your my fav channel & ilysm!!! Thank you for being amazing!!!❤️❤️
Oh those candy cane nails ❤🍭💅
Thank you Suzie for sharing this video, iv picked up a few good tips from this, nails crossed I do better 💅🏼😊 xx
You should try doing snow globe nails Suzie! They look awesome, and I bet you could totally rock that trend! ⛄️
Al527 pp
From beginning to end thanks for the tips, I feel like I'm getting better already 😁
Love, love, love. Thank you so much. I cannot express how much I appreciate this video.
hope you have a wonderful christmas! thank you for the content you give us and the joy you provide us with ❤️ happy holidays suzie! never stop doing you!
I just love you so much! You have you own unique style and you keep it real. You have a balance of Professionalism and laybackisme( my made up word) keep up the good work and the good content! Happy holidays! 😚
Thank you for this video! I am on the struggle bus learning acrylics!
Dear Susie I am 13 years old and u have inspired me to become a nail artist when I am older u are the best at doing acrylic and I wants to open my own studio like u in Australia. Thanks
Some highschool allow you to do aprentiships as part of your school load, you would do your apprenticeship instead if one of your subjects. I think you can do it starting in grade 9 or 10. A friend of mine did that to become a hairdresser. You should look into that! Google "Australian School-Based Apprenticeships" for more info. Would be worth talking to your principle about it if it's not something your school is currently offering!
+Natasha Dohnt i have done this over the years- i loved it- we have the same program here available- it was alot of fun - met alot of sweet people
thankyou
I do my own nails as well and I just have to say thanks for your honesty. 🤗
+Abbie Mansa 😀😀😀💜
SUZIE!!! I hope your holidays are wonderful. Thank you for always sharing your tips & tricks. They have helped me a lot. 💖✨ I’m still a beginner though, so I’d love if you created another starter kit! I got into nails a just few months too late, your first kit was already long gone 😭
+Alexis Lavalle 2018 is gonna be a new year - kits coming back
Nail Career Education yay!! So excited
Yay new kits makes me so excited!
Nail Career Education k
Me sentí tan representada... te agradezco porque con esto me siento más segura y orgullosa de mi trabajo y mi avances.... eres tan simpática y profesional, feliz de conocer tu canal!!!
When I started doing nails I always said that I wanted to “nail” doing it on myself before I do it on others.... your own hand is the best practice hand ever!
Ohhh thank you! All kinds of good tips getting through that “evil” left hand. We still have to let the dominant hand do the work.
Plz do a video about the importance of EMA and MMA acrylic
crystalk17co oooh yes
Yess! So important and. Not many beginner's or non trained nail techs or cosmotologist are going to even know about this!
I don’t do nails or anything and have no idea what this is.
Brittany Arnette I'm just a gel hobbyist I have no idea.. but I want to learn everything I can!!
Yes, PLEASE!
Hi Suzie! You're the best, thank you for this awesome advice, I always struggle with my opposite hand!!
+Samantha Kaetzel i know right- its hard to get
3 am tips! You're there when I need ya, Susie! Thank you.
Suzies got ALL the tips yessss
Anyone else thinking about how Jamie Lancaster had to learn to fight with his other hand? Talk about side tracked hahahahahaha.
Siobhan Macinnes LMFAO!!!
Lannister*
Omg!! I didn't notice that. My auto correct. :( but yes Lannister
It’s totally awesome!!! Thank you for this classes
Do you have any nail fails caught on camera? Or any stories? I'd love to see
Yours are my favorite nail videos, and this one was so very helpful. I always wonder which are the best products/brands to use, which are the best brushes, which are the best nail bits. In this tutorial, are you using a ceramic bit? Thanx for sharing your extensive knowledge with us. Best wishes for a happy new year! Your camera person is excellent, and I love the sense of humor the two of you share.
Can you do a video on oderless monomer vs traditional monomer and whats your preference? Thank you and Happy Holidays!
For everyone who sees this... have a nice Christmas and a good New year!
Dang Suzie, you’re up late lol love you!!!
@NailCareerEducation, one of the best tips I have seen on YT for doing acrylic on you once-dominant hand is to 'Pick up the acrylic with your dominant hand and just pass the brush to your non-dominant hand' That way it won't be to dry or wet. It will save you from a lumpy nail. And all the extra filling.
Suzie! Are you reading my mind? You’ve been submitting videos of things I’ve wanted you to submit about the last week or so and I haven’t even asked you to! Kinda creepy but I’m happy anyways 😂💕😘
+Miyakies lol💜im on it
I've been doing my own nails for over 2 years now, and I really thought that I was just messy doing my opposite hand! They look awful, and thought that I was wasting a lot of acrylic. It gives me hope that someone as skillful as Suzie makes the same "mistakes" I do!
What is the container used for monomer in this video called?
Michelle Gallas I would like to know.🤗
Michelle Gallas Amazon. $7.00
What’s the container called you used to put the monomer in on this video I’m in the uk ? Thanks
I had to chuckle when you said you always offer your left hand to those who wish to look at your nails because I always do the exact same thing! I used to do my own acrylic nails when I was in cosmetology school back in the early 80s. My right hand has always caused me fits. Even now, I can barely polish my right hand or do even very simple nail art designs with stickers. My right hand always just sucks. Right now I have on a red glitter gel polish with little gold and silver nail stickers placed at the beginning of the free edge. My left hand is close to perfect, but my right hand is FAR from it. I was very careful with the gel polish, and it's VERY forgiving for polishing my right hand. But getting the stickers in the right place, on the right angle, is very difficult and so my right and left hands simply never really match. >sigh< Oh well. I try really hard.
+calichef1962 thank goodness for the OTHER hand lol
Where can i buy one of those pumps they all say u cant use them for acrylic liquid
Ur videos and instructions are awesome, only problems I have when doing my opposite hand even tho I am mostly ambidextrous, is I always have a slight ledge at the cuticle on that opposite hand. Ur Awesome!!
I always make acrylic nails on my left hand and then I rock my other hand with nothing. 😂 People always notice and ask me why, its just to hard and time consuming. But thank you so much 4 this video Suzie ❤
Lol Susie, that’s how I do nails with my good hand. But I’ve been watching you and couple others gals for a bit and I’m ready to start practicing. I have purchased everything supply wise. I even have a nail table and Dremel, lamp, fan (lol) uvled lamp. Purchased acrylic powers and gels and stocked up on polishes from regular to gels and glass, flowers and bling. Lol i need to go nail store get fake hand
Wow Susie you just fixed all my life problems.
