You make me not want to trust anyone with my nails, I watch your videos like "no, the only one i trust is Suzie!" which is a real problem considering i want to get my nails done but you are on the opposite side of the world to myself.
That's nice to hear Elyse. I'd recommend looking around at other persons nails when you are out and about. When you see someone with gorgeous nails, ask them about where they got them, is the nail tech good, do they ever cut yoyr cuticle, how long do they stay on, ever had any damage - questions like that. Oh and, are the appointments fun? You will eventually find a nail tech you can trust. Remember a good nail tech will be booked, they will be busy - you will need to make an appointment, don't expect to just walk in and get yours done. The wait will be worth it, Hope this helps.😘
I've gone once to do my nails..and nail technitian said that I have so great healthy nails and that she won't push my cuticals back..and I've asked why..and she said that because I have healthy nails even if i don't do that and if she would push it back, I would probably get an infection soon or that my skin there would most likely tore.
She's nuts. Pushing your cuticles back keeps the nails growing smooth and healthy. Why do you think Suzie says push the cuticles back? See all l the flaky skin? That's why?
I would love to see more natural nail videos. The acrylic is magic but as someone who rocks natural nails all the time I would love to see more natural nails done.
Omg I'm so glad you told them not to cut eponychium. Salons always want to cut them & I keep telling friends not to do it because they can get a horrific infection. I never let them. Thank you!

Great to see a nail professional talking about natural nails. I have medium long natural nails, my index finger on my right hand is always so thin and short because it breaks, it doesn't really bother me as this finger is great for applying cream to my eyes or lip balm, tricky to do with long nails.. Win win! My nails in general are pretty thin due to a chronic illness and lots of medication. Im grateful to have the nails that I do. I'd love to see more on natural nails.
I hope this helps... you can use nail hardeners or strengtheners BUT IT ONLY WORKS PROPERLY WITH OIL! Use jojoba oil (has the same benefits with nail oil so if a nail oil is too expensive you can just buy jojoba oil) and maybe mix it with vitamin-e gel! But if you don't use oil enough with strengthener, your nail will get too hard and will split on the sides easily!

Finally after struggling with gels, acrylic and fake nails on, after 5 years, I'm all natural nails, thanks to my lovely friend who have helped me through this!
I really like this video. I read an article the other day about nails with ridges and why you should not buff your nails because of the the ridges and how it will continue to weaken the nails.I didn't know and it really makes sense now, and I wanted to see if you would buff down the nail and you didn't, so glad you explained the reason why you shouldn't buff down the nail. I see why my nails always split and peel. Now I make sure I keep them moisturized and put a ridge filler on before polish. They are slowing looking better.
I love the suggestion... I'm Filipino and it makes me sad when nail companies sell nailbed colours that are too light. I found a site where their "dark pink nailbed" was still pale compared to me, and I'm not even that dark 😂
Gillian Wills No, that wasn't my point. I never said I couldn't! I'm just saying lots of companies sell nude colors or pinks that generally only complement light skinned people and not any darker nudes or pinks
I've never thought of that. probobly because it doesn't effect me. But I definitely think nail polish companies should make nude colors that matches darker skintones aswell.
Okay. I made up my mind. It's time to subscribe. I don't do nails. Nails are my least concern of things but thanks to Suzie... I'm obsessed with nails now. Not mine. Just hers. Lmao
i don't do my nails too..and i never tried polish haha but i subscribed because of how she speaks..her voice..how pretty she is and all she does with her nails are so mesmerizing sometimes her voice put me to sleep xP
Eponychium and hyponechium. tfs. This makes me want to learn more about proper names of the nail anatomy instead of just growing my nails. Helps make you look smart when you actually know what things are called. LOL
That’s not actually the eponychium the eponychium is underneath the base and produces the cuticle. What she’s calling the eponychium is actually the proximal nail fold. The whitish bit right at the point where the skin meets the nail plate is your keratinised epidermis. Not to be confused with the cuticle which is dead skin on your nail plate. The part which nail techs often wish to cut is that keratinised band of epidermis but they shouldn’t as it constitutes living tissue
My mom took beauty courses in the 50s and she used to use a white pencil made for nails. She would dampen it under water and run it under the nail. It made the nails a beautiful white. It looked like a French manicure. She had beautiful nails.
Susie where have you been all my life. Thank you for all the knowledge you have passed on to so many of us that goes to the nail salon and have her nails ruin by these moneymakers
I appreciate the tips you've shared here as I only have natural nails, never acrylics or anything. I love the tip about ridge filler. I didn't know about that but it's definitely on my shopping list now. Thanks for sharing your skills!
Thank you so much for this video. Being a mom of 4, I don't have the time or budget to get my nails done anymore. I try to keep my natural nails looking as nice as possible. I learned so much from this video. Some things I've been doing right and others not so much. Thank you again.
Thank you for all the wonderful videos, I have been a nail biter for 17 years and have finally broken the habit! I am now growing my nails out and this channel is a great help and inspiration. Thank you :)
When she started filing her nails one way. 😍 I NEVER see anyone on RUclips or in-person "professionals" doing this and it irks me SO much. She is the only person that I would allow to do my nails. 😂
Thank you, that is very helpful. I am 60 yrs old and still didn't know how to manicure my natural nails. I have pretty deep ridges and never tried a filler but will now. Thank you and thanks Katie! Beautiful nails! Naturals are very few and far between these days. I love mine! 👍👏👏👏🙏❤🙏🌎
These videos are so wonderful! I've literally been drinking coffee laying in bed all morning and afternoon watching these videos learning how to finally do my nails! Thank you so much this makes me really want to get into this art.
Thanks, now my nail are just beautiful, I'm a man and I'm doing manicure pretty often, I also buff my nail and got a beautiful square shape, best channel on youtube :D
All of my mom's nails are oval/almond shape naturally! and they're SUPER long and strong. Everyone always asks her if they are natural of not! I grew up envious of her gorgeous nails, but now with a little work mine are very pretty too :) Thanks for the video!
Thank you, thank you, thank you Susie! It’s interesting how you said don’t go back and forth on the nail they are natural. I was explained this in the late 70’s. Love her nails beautiful.
Thank You!!! I have been stressing about my ridges...and will stop trying to even them out. Ridge filler is on my "get" list... you just made my life a little bit easier!!! :)
I used to get that too, I never let anyone touch my cuticles because I don't have too much of it and my eponychium is super sensitive, but I discovered that if they are soft (just out of the shower) I can just push them very gently and give them a nice shape, pain and icky feeling free. There are also electric files made specifically for cuticle removal that are gentle on the skin.
+Ellemphriem Nil she did a biter nails... I agree though for example my nails grow upward and my acrylic nails aren't like most because of my natural nail also they aren't straight as in growing out they spread out on the sides. So I understand!
You gave a lot of much needed info. Thank You. I always filed my nails going back and forth, now I know just go one way. Where did you buy that ridge filler you have? Can i use it every time i do my nails? Can I use it and then paint over it?
Katie is a very naturally beautiful girl so the natural nail is perfect for her. I'm partial to natural myself.... but not bare..... definitely adore a finished polished look.
OMG thank you so much for this video! My left hand looks great, but I'm right handed, so the right is a big old mess bc my left hand can't seem to do the job right.
RUclips ain't funny. Having this vid from 3 yrs ago pop up in my feeds knowing damn well I'm quarantined and im gonna have to work with my natural nails because these acrylics have seen their last fill 😂😂😭😭
Thank you for the tips! Would you consider doing a full manicure on someone who hasn't been to the salon in a while? Total cuticle and shape work. That would be really helpful!
I found your video while doing a google search for Natural Manicures because I’d like to start doing my own nails and I’m SO glad I did! One thing that stood out to me while watching, is that every nail salon that I’ve patronized is doing it WRONG. I immediately subscribed to your channel within the first 3 minutes. Thanks, Susie! 😊
Great video. I was getting gel nails, but I stopped because they were making my nails weak and prone to breaking. I'm going for a "natural" look now, so I'll try out your techniques from this video.
Thank you so much! I’ve been wanting like a natural look on my nails since I’ve just grown them out and filed them, but when I add a clear-coat it makes it look weird. So I was looking for natural looks but some were way to much work, but I watched this and I had most of the stuff. I just need a ridge-filler. I’m so happy I found you Suzie! You saved my life.
Thank you so much for this. Being in the military, we aren't able to have our nails done up besides a natural color or french. Then being a mechanic in the military, pretty nails are a thing of the past.
you ROCK!!!!!! If you allowed you could have a nude or clear gel polish applied - it would give you a nice protection layer for your Mechanic work - your the prettiest mechanic I've EVER seen :))))
Haha, that's so sweet of you! Yeah, people are usually taken aback when I tell them I'm a sheet metal mechanic on F-16's. Unfortunately I couldn't even do any type of nail finish because a lot of the chemicals I work with would remove the polish. Good news is that I am a guardsman so I only have to work on it one weekend a month and any orders that come up!
Hey, don't judge her! I can relate to her, because my face is stuck in a bored rbf expression. But that doesn't mean I'm unimpressed all the time. Just...er...emotionally constipated. That could be the case for her too.
Hi Suzie! I love watching your videos. (You have a very pleasant, calming voice!) Anyway, I have natural nails. Occasionally I will have a nail start to break where the nail grows past finger. What I would like to ask you is could you make a video showing how to repair a natural nail, perhaps with acrylic. I have come up with an at home fix that you wouldn't believe, (it involves superglue and toilet paper and A LOT of filing lol!!) I know you could come up with something way better! PS...love your camera man, he's pretty comical!
Lol - your very clever - it's similar to what they use to call Fiberglass or Silk nails/ where they used a resin ( a glue) and a piece of material and glued a tiny patch to the nail - so your very smart - the only thing that has been developed since that's better is Acrylic - all I did was Master the technique - but there's still filing involved 😉
I use a gel glue (nothing to do with gel nails, just not a liquid glue for easier placement) and a little piece of a tea bag. Involves a bit of filing depending on how bad the break is. I've even been able to put entire broken tips back on. I only do that if it breaks so far back that it's painful, and I sterilize everything well before re-attaching my nail on such a tender place. They last until the break grows out, with a bit of upkeep when you do a new mani. Just make sure everything is clean and dry before you start. Might be a bit stronger than TP lol. Hope this helps.
hey there Suzie love watching your vedios I learn so much. I have long Natural Nails I want to go and get the gel polish soon so they don't brake. keep up on wat u do n have a wonderful day
I’d also like to point out that since using nail oil with jojoba religiously, I no longer have those breaks that you describe. My dominant index finger tip takes a beating, though It’s the first to chip, usually taking a layer of nail which makes it weaker. I finally started applying a thin coat of builder gel before polishing (because I refused to file down all my nails) and I’ve had no more issues with chipping.
How do you deal with natural nails that are brittle? Mine will grow out pretty long but a few weeks go by and they spit. I try to take good care of my nails because I want to become a nail tech I just need a bit of help.
Asha Woods Bliss kiss has nail oil. They have pens, and a larger bottle. I ordered ones on Amazon because their cheaper. It was pack of 2 pens that contain 5ML of oil for under $5. It had good reviews. I'll get the link and paste it in a while. These are not Bliss Kiss. I learned that strengthener will make it stronger, but might cause it may break or snap faster. Here is the link-www.amazon.ca/Fashion-gallery-Nutrition-Multi-Function-Accessories/dp/B01FVVFNX6/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1502429418&sr=8-2&keywords=Nail+oil
I just found your channel last night and I am hooked. I learnt so much in this video about my natural nails. you're a great teacher and you're so warm and friendly. I wish I could come to your nail salon.
I have been binge watching your videos since Jenna Marbles mentioned you in her acrylic nail tutorial. I'm so glad I found your videos! So concise and informative. Thank you for making these videos, especially videos like this one dedicated to natural nails. Thanks again!
Great help, I bit mine for 60 years! I'm 66 and don't have a clue re painting my nails so I just use a clear Polish. I'm learning to file, slowly and have shellac now and then, but like more naturel nails. X
Hey Suzie! I have heard that a lot of people speak both for and against soaking the nail before pushing the cuticle, as well as nail clippers (saying they weaken the nail). What would you advise?
I just saw a professional nail artist the other day say not to soak or wash your hands before filing your nails because it does weaken them and will make them split. She said to at least wait a few minutes before filing them. And I know Suzie is also a pro but personally I use a crystal nail file (or glass works too) when I file my nails and I find that I can file back and forth and it doesn't make my nails split or damage them at all. You're right, everybody's opinion is different, but that's what works for me and I hope I could help! ♥
crystal nails are great, they don't create the splitting that other regular nail file create. I was taught to file first then do any soaking application, because the water does soften the nail which is more sensitive to breakage. But a glass/crystal nail file are great to use wet or dry. So its great in case you missed something.

The eponychium extends from the nail matrix to the front edge of the proximal nail fold. Not surprisingly, the nail matrix also contains stem cells, but their job is to make the nail plate.
There is only one type of cuticle tissue-the thin, colorless layer of dead tissue that adheres to the nail plate. This tissue comes from the eponychium. The cuticle becomes strongly adhered to the nail plate while it is still located underneath the proximal nail fold. The cuticle then pulls away and continues to ride on the upper surface of the nail plate as it grows outward. How can such a thin layer of tissue produce so much cuticle? Researchers believe this thin layer contains specialized stem cells which are factory-like cells designed to work 24/7, continually creating ever more cuticle tissue. It is important to understand that the cuticle tissue comes from the underside of the proximal nail fold. For clarity, I labeled this area as the location of the “Stem Cells in the Eponychium Layer”.
Another interesting part of the proximal nail fold is the area where this living tissue meets the nail plate (see diagram). Unfortunately, many still confuse this area with the cuticle. It is NOT, so please avoid making this error. Here is why some are confused. The outer layer of the proximal nail fold is covered with tissue called stratum corneum, which is also typical of other parts of the body. The area where this skin meets the nail plate has a different appearance because its surface has become keratinized. In other words, just the outer layers located at or near the surface undergoes a process that causes the “surface cells” to produce more keratin. This keratinization process hardens the PNF (proximal nail fold) surface and gives it a slightly different appearance. Like protective armor this hardening surface layer creates a protective shield that can resist attack by infectious organisms or potentially harmful chemicals." See "What’s New in Nail Anatomy?

Finally after struggling with gels, acrylic and fake nails on, after 5 years, I'm all natural nails, thanks to my lovely friend who have helped me through this!
i want her to make something like an audiobook
:))))
Nail Career Education please can you do a video on how to apply an acrylic overlay to natural nails for beginners. I'd be ever so grateful! xoxo
Nail Career Education
Please do this Suzie! I would listen to a book about nails or your life story or anything.
N0tlzle apal0 del colle
So glad to see natural nails!!!
Awesome :))))
Just a quick question where can I get ridge nail polish? that's my main thing i'm dealing with.
Saria I have to go to a good start and the rest is history of sport is the first to a position where they have been be able to a good start 🤣😃😂😄😂😄I is
you should run your own school...I'd love to have you as a teacher
she does
yes I like the way you think
watch her videos. she does
she does nails...............Stacey cecillic but that would be cool
she does
I loved how you explained the reason behind everything. The greatest nail video I have seen on RUclips so far! Thank you.
Yeah
I really like this video. I read an article the other day about nails with ridges and why you should not buff your nails because of the the ridges and how it will continue to weaken the nails.I didn't know and it really makes sense now, and I wanted to see if you would buff down the nail and you didn't, so glad you explained the reason why you shouldn't buff down the nail. I see why my nails always split and peel. Now I make sure I keep them moisturized and put a ridge filler on before polish. They are slowing looking better.
Could you please show us what colors compliment a darker skin tone?
I love the suggestion... I'm Filipino and it makes me sad when nail companies sell nailbed colours that are too light. I found a site where their "dark pink nailbed" was still pale compared to me, and I'm not even that dark 😂
+☽ аиаѕтаsіо ☾ You can wear any colour you wish on your nails. If you like it, that's what matters...
Gillian Wills No, that wasn't my point. I never said I couldn't! I'm just saying lots of companies sell nude colors or pinks that generally only complement light skinned people and not any darker nudes or pinks
You could maybe try more mauvey or earthy colours though I personally like the look and contrast of somewhat lighter nails when they are "nude".
I've never thought of that. probobly because it doesn't effect me. But I definitely think nail polish companies should make nude colors that matches darker skintones aswell.
My thump and pointer fingers are round or oval but the rest are square.....I always thought that was weird but in a good way....😜
same :D
+Vanessa Castillo (RandomPandacorn) same 😅 #nottheonlyone
Omg me too 😂🙈
Me too :o :")
OMFG! I thought I was the only one 😂
Okay. I made up my mind. It's time to subscribe.
I don't do nails. Nails are my least concern of things but thanks to Suzie... I'm obsessed with nails now. Not mine. Just hers. Lmao
Ahhh... thank you😀 Nails are so much fun😀
AHH!! **-** You replied! 💅🏽💅🏽😁
i don't do my nails too..and i never tried polish haha but i subscribed because of how she speaks..her voice..how pretty she is and all she does with her nails are so mesmerizing sometimes her voice put me to sleep xP
+Nail Career Education I don't think you will ever reply to me
Saaammeeeee. I dont do nails. But these videos makes me wanna go buy a lot of manicure stuff, and some holo polishes 😭
Eponychium and hyponechium. tfs. This makes me want to learn more about proper names of the nail anatomy instead of just growing my nails. Helps make you look smart when you actually know what things are called. LOL
LOL - that's true
Possibly from Epi above and hypo below (Gk)
That’s not actually the eponychium the eponychium is underneath the base and produces the cuticle. What she’s calling the eponychium is actually the proximal nail fold. The whitish bit right at the point where the skin meets the nail plate is your keratinised epidermis. Not to be confused with the cuticle which is dead skin on your nail plate. The part which nail techs often wish to cut is that keratinised band of epidermis but they shouldn’t as it constitutes living tissue
I love when she was calling her Kates that sounds so cute!
I love being called Kate! Its a special nickname
@@Karrambide njjnm)n
Susie, you should do some more natural nail vids 💅 and I loved this video 😉
"The baby was brand new" lol I love you!
My mom took beauty courses in the 50s and she used to use a white pencil made for nails. She would dampen it under water and run it under the nail. It made the nails a beautiful white. It looked like a French manicure. She had beautiful nails.
Nice n light video. I initially came out to watch boxing, but here I am smiling and looking at my cuticles
Susie where have you been all my life. Thank you for all the knowledge you have passed on to so many of us that goes to the nail salon and have her nails ruin by these moneymakers
I always use to file my nail back and forth rapidly but the way that you showed is much better , thanks
Awesome :))))
I appreciate the tips you've shared here as I only have natural nails, never acrylics or anything. I love the tip about ridge filler. I didn't know about that but it's definitely on my shopping list now. Thanks for sharing your skills!
My nails are EXTREMELY ridged!! I got a ridge filler and it worked wonders! Thank you 😊
Thank you so much for this video. Being a mom of 4, I don't have the time or budget to get my nails done anymore. I try to keep my natural nails looking as nice as possible. I learned so much from this video. Some things I've been doing right and others not so much. Thank you again.
omg I love u Suzie...best teacher ever
Thank you for all the wonderful videos, I have been a nail biter for 17 years and have finally broken the habit! I am now growing my nails out and this channel is a great help and inspiration. Thank you :)
When she started filing her nails one way. 😍
I NEVER see anyone on RUclips or in-person "professionals" doing this and it irks me SO much.
She is the only person that I would allow to do my nails. 😂
Me to 😂 😂 😂
I learned something new.
Thank you, that is very helpful. I am 60 yrs old and still didn't know how to manicure my natural nails. I have pretty deep ridges and never tried a filler but will now. Thank you and thanks Katie! Beautiful nails! Naturals are very few and far between these days. I love mine! 👍👏👏👏🙏❤🙏🌎
I love how well organized the description is
I love learning these kind of important details, and the proper names of things
These videos are so wonderful! I've literally been drinking coffee laying in bed all morning and afternoon watching these videos learning how to finally do my nails! Thank you so much this makes me really want to get into this art.
Thanks, now my nail are just beautiful, I'm a man and I'm doing manicure pretty often, I also buff my nail and got a beautiful square shape, best channel on youtube :D
the lighting is heavenly yassssss
Finally, a video that shows the cuticle being pushed back instead of it being cut and trimmed.. Thank you so much!
You and your client are effortlessly beautiful❤
oh my, I did not expect to learn that much with a nail tutorial. Thank you.
All of my mom's nails are oval/almond shape naturally! and they're SUPER long and strong. Everyone always asks her if they are natural of not! I grew up envious of her gorgeous nails, but now with a little work mine are very pretty too :) Thanks for the video!
same with my mom's! im so jealous!
I'm jealous of my Dad's. My Mom is jealous of his too.
same here! my mom's are all really even but mine are so awful! some are almond shaped, squoval or circular I hate them lol
"The baby was brand new" lol
Hahahaha
😂😂
Fresh out the factory! :'D
Thank you, thank you, thank you Susie! It’s interesting how you said don’t go back and forth on the nail they are natural. I was explained this in the late 70’s. Love her nails beautiful.
please do a video about how to cure nails that split or 'shear ' horizontally. Thanks suzie for your videos!
"This is the really tender skin under the nail, it can get reeeaallly tender" *jabs it repeatedly with wooden stick*
Still nothing compared to an e-file.
😅🤣🤣🤣🤣
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Thank You!!! I have been stressing about my ridges...and will stop trying to even them out. Ridge filler is on my "get" list... you just made my life a little bit easier!!! :)
Aw😀
I love your work, its like am in nail land am also obsess with your channel keep doing the great job...
this was a very insightful video!!! thanks for sharing your evidently deep knowledge freely with all of us!!!! you are an amazing profesional!!!
aw - thank you Emia:)
Hey Suzie, I use a Ridge Filler every time I paint my nails, I use Essie's Ridge-Filling Primer
I can listen to Suzie whole day and never get tired
You are such a great teacher! You explain everything so well and you know your stuff. Learned a lot from this and your other videos!
Something about the idea of pushing back the cuticles makes me get that “scratching a chalkboard” feeling. 😖
if you soak your hands (and feet for pedicure) first, about 10 minutes in water, you'll find the skin much easier to move back :)
Do it, after you wash your hair, and use a cuticle stick.
I used to get that too, I never let anyone touch my cuticles because I don't have too much of it and my eponychium is super sensitive, but I discovered that if they are soft (just out of the shower) I can just push them very gently and give them a nice shape, pain and icky feeling free. There are also electric files made specifically for cuticle removal that are gentle on the skin.
It’s soooo satisfying, I’ve removed my cuticles so many times they don’t grow back lol
After reading your comment i feel it!!!
Yeah but this model has some great nails!!!
agree...i'd like to see her shape up some really difficult nails into something presentable.....here she did absolutely nothing.
+Ellemphriem Nil she did a biter nails... I agree though for example my nails grow upward and my acrylic nails aren't like most because of my natural nail also they aren't straight as in growing out they spread out on the sides. So I understand!
sofia shaikh I have the same looking nails
Suzie, thank you for this video for us who rocks the natural nail.
Omg this video is so wholesome
You gave a lot of much needed info. Thank You. I always filed my nails going back and forth, now I know just go one way.
Where did you buy that ridge filler you have? Can i use it every time i do my nails? Can I use it and then paint over it?
I got mine at walmart! :)
DO YOU KNOW ANY TIPS FOR DOING YOUR HOMEWORK FAST
+Lurantics thanks. I will look there. I found the same kind she used on Amazon, 2 bottles for $13.00.
+AanyaWolf19 excuse me...
what i need some help
Katie is a very naturally beautiful girl so the natural nail is perfect for her. I'm partial to natural myself.... but not bare..... definitely adore a finished polished look.
That's great 😁
Nail Career Education just shut up
i like that song-- the girl from eponychium.
😀
🤣

Isnt that epanema lol
nail care is important I'm impress your teach ❤️❤️thank you so much for your teach from Nepal
thank you Katie for allowing her to use you for her video. I like that this video was very informative!
OMG thank you so much for this video! My left hand looks great, but I'm right handed, so the right is a big old mess bc my left hand can't seem to do the job right.
I know how you feel
my left hand looks a bit better than my right hand too! :3 pretty much the same
My left hand just fucks up my right hand.
bohn only's Weird my left hand always looks better than my right hand...
I'm left handed

RUclips ain't funny. Having this vid from 3 yrs ago pop up in my feeds knowing damn well I'm quarantined and im gonna have to work with my natural nails because these acrylics have seen their last fill 😂😂😭😭
Thanks for this video, Suzie! :)
:))))
I love how professional and fun your videos are.
Thank you Suzie ...that was lovely watching you give your inputs about nail care...
I do beauty therapy at college. This really helps.❤️❤️❤️
Thank you for the tips! Would you consider doing a full manicure on someone who hasn't been to the salon in a while? Total cuticle and shape work. That would be really helpful!
+Natural Aegyo certainly - thats the job 😀
Please do more videos with clients!! That was so cool. 😊😊
I found your video while doing a google search for Natural Manicures because I’d like to start doing my own nails and I’m SO glad I did!
One thing that stood out to me while watching, is that every nail salon that I’ve patronized is doing it WRONG.
I immediately subscribed to your channel within the first 3 minutes.
Thanks, Susie! 😊
You have the best nail care channel. I'm tired of the loud vlog girls, you are so classy and professional...
Hi Susie, loved this video. Had no idea about ridge fillers, so that was a really awesome discovery. Thank you for sharing!
Your very welcome Miranda
+Nail Career Education hi do you have an online link to where I can buy the ridge filler you used?
"Shiny top coat"? You mean glossy taco 😂
Holo fellow holosexual 😂😂😂❤💿
Lol I love her
Oof stop
marshmallow stop playing roblox
marshmallow jk 😂💕
Great video. I was getting gel nails, but I stopped because they were making my nails weak and prone to breaking. I'm going for a "natural" look now, so I'll try out your techniques from this video.
Thank you so much! I’ve been wanting like a natural look on my nails since I’ve just grown them out and filed them, but when I add a clear-coat it makes it look weird. So I was looking for natural looks but some were way to much work, but I watched this and I had most of the stuff. I just need a ridge-filler. I’m so happy I found you Suzie! You saved my life.
I finally started nail school I so appreciate your content
"Or they bite them [the cuticles]! Eughhh!"
Me: *sweats nervously* '>_>
I have a soft square natural nail. I have small hands so I tend to grow out my nails for a lengthening thing effect.
Thank you so much for this. Being in the military, we aren't able to have our nails done up besides a natural color or french. Then being a mechanic in the military, pretty nails are a thing of the past.
you ROCK!!!!!! If you allowed you could have a nude or clear gel polish applied - it would give you a nice protection layer for your Mechanic work - your the prettiest mechanic I've EVER seen :))))
Haha, that's so sweet of you! Yeah, people are usually taken aback when I tell them I'm a sheet metal mechanic on F-16's. Unfortunately I couldn't even do any type of nail finish because a lot of the chemicals I work with would remove the polish. Good news is that I am a guardsman so I only have to work on it one weekend a month and any orders that come up!
luv to u & ty for all u do...b safe in all it endeavors...

Monica Rivera I know I am late, thank you for your services.
I learned a ton from your channel: nail dehydrator, ridge filler... I had no idea those products existed!! Thank you do much!!
You just taught me so much and your explanations were awesome. Thank you so much.
Your hand model seems unimpressed!
I'd be fan-girling!
❤ you, Suzie!
Ashley Redman omg I noticed this too I’m like hello do U know who she is!?!
Pretty sure she’s a friend
She's probably just nervous
Hey, don't judge her! I can relate to her, because my face is stuck in a bored rbf expression. But that doesn't mean I'm unimpressed all the time. Just...er...emotionally constipated. That could be the case for her too.
Strange comment. She is smiling and responds to Suzie throughout the video.
can you do my nails i suck at it :(
LOL
Practice makes perfect!
Hi Suzie! I love watching your videos. (You have a very pleasant, calming voice!) Anyway, I have natural nails. Occasionally I will have a nail start to break where the nail grows past finger. What I would like to ask you is could you make a video showing how to repair a natural nail, perhaps with acrylic. I have come up with an at home fix that you wouldn't believe, (it involves superglue and toilet paper and A LOT of filing lol!!) I know you could come up with something way better! PS...love your camera man, he's pretty comical!
Lol - your very clever - it's similar to what they use to call Fiberglass or Silk nails/ where they used a resin ( a glue) and a piece of material and glued a tiny patch to the nail - so your very smart - the only thing that has been developed since that's better is Acrylic - all I did was Master the technique - but there's still filing involved 😉
I use a gel glue (nothing to do with gel nails, just not a liquid glue for easier placement) and a little piece of a tea bag. Involves a bit of filing depending on how bad the break is. I've even been able to put entire broken tips back on. I only do that if it breaks so far back that it's painful, and I sterilize everything well before re-attaching my nail on such a tender place. They last until the break grows out, with a bit of upkeep when you do a new mani. Just make sure everything is clean and dry before you start. Might be a bit stronger than TP lol. Hope this helps.
hey there Suzie love watching your vedios I learn so much. I have long Natural Nails I want to go and get the gel polish soon so they don't brake. keep up on wat u do n have a wonderful day
I’d also like to point out that since using nail oil with jojoba religiously, I no longer have those breaks that you describe.
My dominant index finger tip takes a beating, though It’s the first to chip, usually taking a layer of nail which makes it weaker. I finally started applying a thin coat of builder gel before polishing (because I refused to file down all my nails) and I’ve had no more issues with chipping.
I have natural nails and really enjoyed this video. I have never had my nails professional done.
Thank you. I enjoy all your videos.
My fav!!! Just so classy , gorgeous!
How do you deal with natural nails that are brittle? Mine will grow out pretty long but a few weeks go by and they spit. I try to take good care of my nails because I want to become a nail tech I just need a bit of help.
Get a nice cuticle oil, it will help to moisturizer the nail 😀
Nail Career Education Thank you so much and wich cuticle oil do u recomend
Asha Woods you should also use a nail strengthener or top coat, that saves my nails from breaking
Asha Woods Bliss kiss has nail oil. They have pens, and a larger bottle. I ordered ones on Amazon because their cheaper. It was pack of 2 pens that contain 5ML of oil for under $5. It had good reviews. I'll get the link and paste it in a while. These are not Bliss Kiss. I learned that strengthener will make it stronger, but might cause it may break or snap faster.
Here is the link-www.amazon.ca/Fashion-gallery-Nutrition-Multi-Function-Accessories/dp/B01FVVFNX6/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1502429418&sr=8-2&keywords=Nail+oil
Lol. Spit. Sorry, but I almost spit the food out of my mouth when I saw you typed spit. X,D
I love your video. I am into natural nails too. But only until i watch your vid did i know to to take care of them properly
Glad I could help😘
Very useful information thank you very much for sharing... xxx
I just found your channel last night and I am hooked. I learnt so much in this video about my natural nails. you're a great teacher and you're so warm and friendly. I wish I could come to your nail salon.
I have been binge watching your videos since Jenna Marbles mentioned you in her acrylic nail tutorial. I'm so glad I found your videos! So concise and informative. Thank you for making these videos, especially videos like this one dedicated to natural nails. Thanks again!
awesome video Susie! i learned alot of new info watching this! Can I be one of you hand models??😉 haha.
LOL :)))))
Unfortunately most nail salons are not sanitary. I wouldn't risk the health of my natural nails by getting a manicure
Lydia K: Your local health department has regulations about this. Ask them where they go!
Her: "I like to call it "real estate" lol."
Me: "It's free real estate."
Great help, I bit mine for 60 years! I'm 66 and don't have a clue re painting my nails so I just use a clear Polish. I'm learning to file, slowly and have shellac now and then, but like more naturel nails. X
You are so calm and teachery! I love your glasses! Keep up the good work!
Hey Suzie! I have heard that a lot of people speak both for and against soaking the nail before pushing the cuticle, as well as nail clippers (saying they weaken the nail). What would you advise?
I just saw a professional nail artist the other day say not to soak or wash your hands before filing your nails because it does weaken them and will make them split. She said to at least wait a few minutes before filing them. And I know Suzie is also a pro but personally I use a crystal nail file (or glass works too) when I file my nails and I find that I can file back and forth and it doesn't make my nails split or damage them at all. You're right, everybody's opinion is different, but that's what works for me and I hope I could help! ♥
+brookielove1994 thanks a lot! That helped a lot!
crystal nails are great, they don't create the splitting that other regular nail file create. I was taught to file first then do any soaking application, because the water does soften the nail which is more sensitive to breakage. But a glass/crystal nail file are great to use wet or dry. So its great in case you missed something.
