Suzie! You should do a "nails through the decades" series. It would involve recreating nail styles from the past to the present (maybe 1920s-2020s)! I'd especially love to see your take on the '80s, which you know so well ;)
P.s., I love your videos so much. I'm in grad school right now and I've been using your videos to unwind from all the stress! Thank you for all that you do.
I learned more from her in short videos than I did in a year of nail school 3500 later 🤦🏽♀️ All hail the Queen. She is amazing in every way. I’m so thankful for her :) 👑
IKR, I am five months in a far better off than I was for 8 years, of course a lot of it was also being iron and b12 anemic so I couldn’t remember much, but now I’m gluten free I can actually make more sense of everything I learn here, and Susie is the most positive, gracious, and easy to follow teacher. Although many others are good, not all are good teachers, and she is definitely a good teacher.
This was SUCH an amazing video!! I just couldn't figure out why my coffins would be so square on the bottoms but look so rounded on top!!! This was a wonderful visual guide, I'll be rewatching this a few times to make sure I fully understand! What a huge difference when you file that "muffin top" away (lol)!!!
I wish techs at the nail salon would draw on my nails when I want something other than a usual square! I wouldn't mind since it would provide a visual guide for the tech and me when it comes to how I want my nails shaped but it's probably seen as unprofessional/amateurish. The trouble is my coffin nails never come out looking the way I want them and I have to end up filing them myself to fix them, which I shouldn't have to do after paying for a pro to do them.
@@DarlingNikki2 you should tell your nail tech. If it's a good shop, they're very open to you getting exactly what you want. Bring picture references. After they shape one, take a look and ask for what you want. You're paying good money. You should get what you want.
Hi suzie just wanna say luv u and your my favorite mail artist/technician even though I am 14 I luv doing nails and I hope one day I can go to get a business degree and earn my nail license and learn how to do all types Of nails and become an owner of a mail studio so yes I just wanntd to tell you that u inspire me more than you know and I have learned so much from you Thank you
Suzie, I just became a nail instructor, here in Las Vegas. I just got my first class last Friday. We zoom M-T and in class W-Th. My students have expressed the desire to learn how to to different shapes. I'm the 4th out of the 6 instructors that they will have. I will definitely be showing them this. I have a curriculum to follow and it doesn't include filing, but as long as they get what they are supposed to, I have free reign. Thank you💜
Oh my nails definitely go side ways after I try to shape it... i will probably draw these guides on my nails for the foreseeable future lol thank you so much!!
Thank you for this!!!! I am not a professional nail tech but I do, do my own nails and I always mess up on a coffin!!! Again thank you for showing us how to contour the nail into this shape!!!!
So excited to watch this!!! I've been trying to perfect coffin nails but, haven't found the right technique yet. I already know how helpful this video is going to be!!!
I found that if I shape my nails before I take off the polish it turns out better! Almond shape is my most hardest nail to do.. But you are absolutely right you have to take the top off to see what it really looks like!! Thank you Susie!! Great advice!
Omg!!! This was a game changer!! I’d been filling the sides forever and now that I’m “attacking the muffin top” my nails look amazing!! Thank you so much for sharing in this video. Best nail tutorial on TH-cam EVER!!!
Thank you so much for this, Suzie! I’ve been doing my nails as you explain and this is the first time I’ve created a good coffin shape. You are a marvel, never stop educating us ❤
How is there a Susie show that I haven't seen before? Lol okay, looks like I get to binge a few episodes that I missed. Best news I've gotten all day 🙌 whoop 🙌 👏 👌 👍 😀 😄 🙌
Make your short square shape, then take a long buffer file and soften those corners. Sometimes that just enough to get that squoval look without taking off way too much. Good Luck 💅🥰
Thank you so much, you hit the nail on the head when mentioned building a great nail but if you don't file correctly you can mess it up. This is going to help me so much.
It took me a long time to realize that "the top of the muffin" was just as important as every other angle. This is invaluable advice for nail techs, Suzie. Thank you!
Thank you Suzie I have learned so much watching your videos. Glad I came across this channel! I love coffin nails and I have started doing them myself ever since covid began. Very helpful videos thank you! 🤗
Tbh Suzie, the “mini coffins” look absolutely BOOOOMB😱 I’m amazed😂 mostly because that’s exactly the lenght of my nails - them be going into mini coffins now!
Got stuck on these videos as a man. Suzie is so nice and the voice so pleasant. Her technique is great art. Almost regret that I can not wear such nails.
Thank you Suzie! I love that you actually drew them! Will definitely try it like that for more accuracy until I get the hang of it! I have natural nails so some these tips help a lot other than the type of file! I've always tried to do a coffin/tapered square when my nails are shorter because a plain square always looked flaring up to me but whenever I tried it, I always take off one end more than the other and I didn't know what I was doing wrong haha. This was suuper helpful.
omg please do more videos about mastering nails shapes! all of them I need that and I understood everything while you were explaining like very easy ! so please do more love you and thank you for sharing
Your voice is so pleasant and this was so helpful! I've been buying these medium length sqaure press ons bc they're really cheap and strong and I think this will really modernize their look!!
YES, coffin is my favorite! One thing that’s been on my mind lately are the trending coffin nails on IG - they look to be rather flat (as in minimal to no c-curve), yet have a very distinct, crisp shape. If I had to guess, they are probably achieved with tips. I personally prefer mine to look like yours, but clients often find it hard to resist the Instagram shaping.
Wow this is awesome. I’ve been trying to look for shaping videos for so long and they don’t explain anything properly. Thank you Suzie! Please do all shapes! :)
Oooo nooo son mi pesadilla!! I haven't get the perfect coffin shape yet but with your guidance I will get better thanks to share your knowledge I really enjoy them gracias!!!
omg THANK YOU for this!! i've started doing my own poly gels and have always wondered what i'm doing wrong when i attempt coffins. this explained exactly what i've been doing wrong! so excited to implement this next time!
Thank you sooooo much for this video!!! I've been having this exact problem and every video I have been able to find is either just filing the sides off or sculpting it from beginning. I was so excited when I got this notification for this video. Thank you. I've learned so much from you. 🥰
Omg thank you so much! I've sifted through countless TH-cam videos on how to get this coffin shape just right and I still was struggling! but when you explained the Muffin top example and I watched you work your nail file, it really clicked me and I feel like I will finally be able to successfully achieve the ballerina shape as opposed to even the coffin I know how similar they both are but I still see there just a slight variation and I've always struggled to achieve my fave of the those two, the ballerina shape!:) so just want to say thank you so much!! your videos are always super informative and it's really great content keep it up!!
I would love too see it done on real nails, bc you can't really file on top of a real nail like that. In general i would like to see some of your work done on real/natural nails. Like what would you do with a crooked nail and so on.
I third this! I have natural nails which I file into a coffin shape and it’s so tedious. All it takes is doing one nail wonky and the whole hand looks a mess 😭
I just recieved my new lamp the other day! After watching your video about lamps and gel compatibility, I realized that the majority of my gel polishes and all my poly gels are Madam Glam, so I finally ordered a lamp from them. While I was waiting on it to arrive, my new manicure started to come apart! The poly gel/builder gel lifted from my natural nails, which still has a very thin layer of old poly gel on them. I had just finished building my nails 4 days prior to them lifting. I haven't rebuilt my nails yet, but I have removed all the lifted product, and shortened my nails as they are very brittle(which is why I keep either poly gel or builder gel on them). I'll use the new lamp with clear poly gel this weekend, and build new nails now that my natural nails are short, AND I have a proper lamp to use with the product.
First off, where is the Nail Career Education Spotify playlist??? I would follow the ish outta that! Thank you so much for this video! the coffin is my favorite shape but my technique for a consistent shape involves several hours and a loootttttttt of praying hahaha.

Yes!! So helpful! I would love to see tips and tricks for sculpting a stiletto from other shapes like this
Thank Suzie, this is what I needed 👍😁

I NEEDED a video example like this where the demonstration is on oneself. THANK YOU!!!
I learned more from her in short videos than I did in a year of nail school 3500 later 🤦🏽♀️
All hail the Queen. She is amazing in every way. I’m so thankful for her :) 👑
That is a cheap school, is that only for nails?

Exactly - eh😊
I was making the exact same mistake. This video explains everything perfectly. Thank you so much posting this.
Muffin analogy is super helpful but the only problem is now I really want to bake a batch of muffins!
I love how you are so detailed when you are teaching us I just love you ❤️
This was EXACTLY what I’ve been needing!! I’m a visual learner and this is absolutely wonderful!!! Thanks SO MUCH!
I ALWAYS draw on my nails when shaping almond or coffin. I find almond especially hard without drawing it first. Thank you Suzie!!

You literally can't be beaten, such clear explanations of the fundamentals and then bam other videos with amazing designs too. Thankyou ♥️
I love how you explain things. They become so clear. Thank you for helping me understand how to achieve the perfect coffin shaped nail!
Omg I was so wanting this video and magically it appeared.
Thanks soo much Suzie ...your lessons here have been help me me a lot in supporting my wife and kids back here in Africa

Love how you teach over TH-cam! Your videos have helped me create the perfect nail for myself! Just need my nail tech course and I can have clients.
Man, Suzie's nail beds are so pretty.
This video was so informative, I love the lack of graphics. Really made me feel like I was in a master class and was so easy to focus!
It’s videos like this that remind me why I need you in my life. Thank you Suzie
Thanks for this video suzie & camera man !! Great tutorial as always 🙋🏽♀️👍🏽
The way you had a different style to aim the same coffin shape helps so much. Thank you for this tutorial!! ❤
Finally..... someone to explain everything about making a coffin nail! Now I can make them all match! Thank you!!
How is there a Susie show that I haven't seen before? Lol okay, looks like I get to binge a few episodes that I missed. Best news I've gotten all day 🙌 whoop 🙌 👏 👌 👍 😀 😄 🙌
Susie why did I never think to do it this way 😫 thank you so much!!!! This exactly has been my biggest struggle ! Yay 🥰
Excellent visuals, Suzie! And I literally laughed out loud at your muffin top analogy 😂
I tend to not be a “visual” learner and your diagrams and step by step instructions are so helpful! Thanks!
Omg please do one of these for short squoval nails! I can’t master those no matter how hard I try 😭
Yes please! I agree 💅🏻❤️
Make your short square shape, then take a long buffer file and soften those corners. Sometimes that just enough to get that squoval look without taking off way too much. Good Luck 💅🥰
@@nickiealtieri-enochs1914 thank you so much! I’ll try that next time 🥰
@@nickiealtieri-enochs1914 Excellent advice.
This helped me so much!!!! ❤ I always struggle with shaping my nails. And coffin is my
Fav shape ❤ thank you so much
The muffin top analogy helped me a lot, planning on doing my nails tomorrow thank you!
Thank you so much, you hit the nail on the head when mentioned building a great nail but if you don't file correctly you can mess it up. This is going to help me so much.
Thank you Ms. Suzie! I was never able to get rid of the “muffin top” look and now I’m excited to do my next coffin set!!
It took me a long time to realize that "the top of the muffin" was just as important as every other angle. This is invaluable advice for nail techs, Suzie. Thank you!
I've been searching for good videos the past few days. This broke it down just the way I needed. Thank you 😊
I really love your videos, I'm struggling at the moment getting my coffin shape, il try this, your so easy to watch, and explain everything so well.
Thank you Suzie I always need to remember basics!!
I followed your technique and finally was able to have my natural nail in coffin shape !!! Thank you very much xxx

I NEEDED THIS VIDEO SO BADLY ! thanks Susie ♥️✨♥️
I love this shape, and have always struggled with it!! I tend to file too much away on the sides. GGggrrrrr. Thanks Suzie!
I always learn from you ! Thank you Suzie!
I need to get some of your files Susie! I started doing my own nails and your videos have always been so helpful to me 😊
