Dear Suzie, I am only self taught and only doing my own nails, but you have no idea, how tranquil and relaxing it is, to watch you doing any form of work on your nails... the music, your voice, your "craftwomanship" and skills...this channel is truly one of my favourite happy places to escape to, after work. Thank you
Go over to the nail hub youtube channel. She was on there for a q&a and the cat (I think his name is Creature) is sitting on the desk for half of the video. Plus Liz from the Nail Hub is another great nail channel!!!
Suzie, I've been watching your channel for months, and I finally decided to give it a shot. My natural nails are so soft and weak, they are like plastic baggie material. (Well maybe not quite THAT soft, but you get the idea.) Anyway I had to get the store-bought acrylic supplies that aren't that great, but I used your tips and techniques, and I was really proud of my results. Considering it was my first time, I was very pleased, and it looks like I went to a professional! Thank you for your channel and giving "civilians" like me so much invaluable information!
I would LOVE it if you did show this type of detailed work on natural nails, with regular polish, as you referenced. I know I’m in the minority, but I do still paint my natural nails, using regular polish. This color is GORGEOUS!!
IT WAS AN EXCELLENT IDEA DOING THE EDGE OF THE NAILS WITH A DOTTING TOOL !!! MY BRAIN CAN'T THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX AND I WOULD OF NEVER THOUGHT ABOUT THAT !!! IT WORKS VERY, VERY WELL WITH A DOTTING TOOL !!! I ALWAYS HAD PROBLEMS EVEN PAINTING IT WITH A THIN BRUSH BUT NOW YOU HAVE SOLVED MY PROBLEM !!! YAY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have great natural nails. I use regular nail polish. The dotting tool is great for finishing the edge. Your videos are my relaxing time. Your cat sounds like my Bookitty. She was 16 when she died. I watched the video twice just to hear the kitty. Thanks for your videos.

I love gel polish. It’s so satisfying when there’s no lumps or bumps and then the top coat just makes it pop even more with a gorgeous glossy finish! Btw this who video was super satisfying!
Hello from Australia!Your tutorials are so helpful Suzie! I am self taught and I mainly only do my own nails, swatches for hubby's gel polish business and sometimes for friends. I find your tutorials invaluable as you have so many tips, I have learnt so much from them. Anytime we get a new product in, I come straight to you for technique. Thank you Thank you Thank you
Almost 2 Million. Suzie you deserve it soo soo much. I follow you for years. And when I’m in Canada next year I’m gonna get my set of nails. I wish for them sooo long. Your energy and personality is just so positive and warm.
Hi Suzie! I’ve been watching your videos for almost two years now, when I first found your channel, I found your voice to be so relaxing that it actually helped me sleep (I have anxiety and a real hard time falling asleep most nights) so thank you for that! I’ve also learned so much from you, I’ve been wanting to get my own nail kit and start practicing on myself, but everything is soooo so expensive where I live , I’ll have to settle with just learning from your videos :( Thank you for providing such amazing content 💜
I bought some jeweler's glasses from Amazon for around $15. They have five lenses and an attached light. I can see _extreme_ detail now and it's really made a vast improvement in my work (looks dorky but I don't care🤓).
Can you do a video showing how to camouflage shorter nail beds. I had one technician do it. He made me look like I had long nail beds. I’m thinking he used pink higher up and hid my natural smile line somehow. 🤔
Yes, you figured it out! That's exactly what he did! He used a cover (opaque) pink to cover your natural smile line and then used white against the pink to create a longer appearing nail bed. It's a very common practice. Some manicurists _really_ exagerate the nail bed with the cover pink so that it's past the fingertip altogether. I'm not a fan of that look. I want to sculpt nails that _could_ look like someone's real nails, if a bit more picture perfect.
calichef1962 It was one of the most amazing transformations to my nails! But he moved.... and I’ve never been able to get somebody else to do it like he did. Or maybe I haven’t been able to explain it properly. There is always a language barrier at the nail salons where I live. 🤷♀️ anyways I’m hoping if she does a video I can show it to the nail tech. 🤞
I do my own nails. Your videos are always a big help for me. I just started doing gel nail polish and I'm so glad I watched your videos on that! Thank you so much! ♡♡♡
I love that you have done this video. Thank you. I just recently become a hobbyist in gel polish and this helps a lot! Thank you again for the tricks to the trade! And to access to supplies when you're not licensed! Please continue to do what you do, I learn so much! ❤️
I love Suzie, she has so many helpful videos and though I am no where near a professional nail artist, I've definitely implemented some of her tips in my own nails! I even have my own tutorials on youtube now!
I think Camera Man chooses really nice music, too. Nothing jarring, nothing loud, just soft, gentle music that works perfectly with Suzie's voice. *Mr. Camera Man, just in case nobody's told you lately, you do a WONDERFUL job! Your editing, lighting, sound, captions and background music all blend perfectly and gives the channel a look and feel all its own. I've seen network programming that didn't have as great a production value as the videos on this channel!* You deserve a Webby, or a Streamy, or whatever awards there are for RUclips videos!
I’m a DIYer, and I take FOREVER...I mean really FOREVER to do my nails. Just learning to sculpt nails, and decided on Polygel for its forgiving nature. But I’m embarrassed to say that I literally spent 6+ hours from start to finish. And they still didn’t look this good. I think I grew impatient by the time I got to the color portion because I was embarrassed at how long it was taking me. My sister laughed at me because I spent all day...ALL DAY doing my nails. I am so addicted to it though. Your designs are always so beautiful and your guidance and tips so very helpful. Thank you so much for sharing with us.
Tfs gorgeous color!!💜💖💜 glad to know I'm not the only one who misses sides of nail away from me when I film! 😊 if you can miss it anyone can. Thanks for showing no ones perfect! 💜💖💜
LMAO! when the meows didnt work he starting scratching and the music came on @ 8:25 to kinda try and muffle the scratching out! gorgeous nail color by the way.
Nail Career Education You should have camera man do a video! But don’t show his face. Pull a “Wilson” from Home Improvement where we can only see his eyes and top of his head! Maybe a dust mask or something😂
i wish i had a nail tech as good as Suzie!! mine always leave gaps and too much room from my cuticle and i have to go for fillings too often i need to find someone who cares more and takes more pride in their worrkkk🤪
I am generally not a big fan of orange polish, but this is really pretty! I love the square shape, too! It looks so fresh, different and new after years of almond, ballerina and stiletto that it really looks like a whole new thing!
"Puffy cuticles"! Thanks for the expression. I have some of those and yes indeed, they are such a headache to paint around. But "puffy" is at least a charming way to describe them 😉
Every time you say “paint” I hear my beauty school instructors yelling “You paint a house you POLISH your nails!” It’s been 20 years since I graduated but I think I still have some PTSD!
I went to a Vocational school during High school for Cosmetology and she would always say you wash dishes, you wash clothes but you Shampoo and condition your hair. And it's been over 20 years for me. Also, my 10th grade chorus teacher would tell at us about enunciating the word you and not saying chu. About you not aboutchu like it was one word. Haha!
You know what? I've seen you for a long time. About the time the cameraman started talking in the videos and I just thought you guys were co-workers. And you know what I thought? "There's so much chemistry between these two! thank you so much for your tutorial, Suzie, and thank you cameraman for trying to give us the best shots of the details
Can you do a video on doing a gel fill over acrylc? Like Polygel. There are so many times when I don't have either the time or money to get a fill, but I do have Polygel and LED lamps and all the fun gel polishes and top coats etc... Would love to know if I can just do my own fills when I have to. Thanks millions Suzie for all your videos🥰
looooool critterrrr 😹😹😹 so funny 😂😂 and awesome video as always!! very well explained and the best idea EVER is to do the free edge first I love this idea i definitely will try this out thank you so much for sharing this with us 😻😻😻
I’m sure you have a video on this, but what would be the best products to get to be able to do gel at home without breaking the bank? Like the very basics. Also any tips for keeping the health of your natural nails after using gel?
As a nail tech myself, truth be told if you're thinking chipping and breaking it has a lot to do with having good prep work than just the gel "breaking for no reason". I would say buy nail prep and prime products (91% Isopropyl Alcohol and Acid-Free Primer should be good enough), buffs squares or blocks, and a UV/LED lamp. They sell a lot of them on AliExpress and Ebay (it's where I bought my tools first starting out) but be weary of the gels like Sina that float around. Sometimes those products aren't safe and can cause chemical burns on your nails. (Like the product will literally over time cause your nails to erode) Like I said, follow the advice from the girls in these comments, but I can't stress enough: BUY PREP AND PRIME PRODUCTS. It'll make your gels last so much longer if you do. Hope this helps and good luck! 😘
I_is_katkit do you have tips for preserving the strength of your nail and preventing damage when using gel? I got it done once before and my nails were so thin after!!! I currently have strong, and semi long natural nails and really don’t want to do gel at home and then want to do regular polish (since I won’t buy many colors to start) and have my nails be so weak! I only want to use gel for the look and longevity! Not adding any nail with acrylic.
@@Liv-kr1yl Hmm. Judging from what you're telling me, it sounds like an overfiling issue. The natural nail when working with gel or gel polish (even acrylic enhancements for that matter) should only be lightly buffed to only remove the shine; a dehydrator like alcohol, will cleanse the nail plate of oils, primer preps the nail for product. Over filing not only leads to thin nails, but can lead to the product not adhering to the nail for long term because the foundation (aka the nail itself) is not strong enough to hold product. All these precautions should help with preventage and damage control. Again, proper prep and prime techniques are a MUST.

Same!
I second that! I learned to do my nails with your videos suzie.... even my 2year old girl loves watching your videos
I agree 100%
8:01 I thought my cat was meowing at my door so I stood up and checked 🤣
Yeah! Me too! I thought it was cat too!😹😹😹😹😹😹
SAME HAHA
So did i😂
Omg i was just meowing back because i thought my cat was trying to find me. 😹
@@CearoT I thought I was the only one who did that! Lol. I meow back when my little one is roaming around the house looking for me.
Watching cameraman try to do his nails using everything he has learned would just be chicken soup for my soul
Rosie Mino that is my dream too lol. I bet he is just as good as her now! Hahah
The cat in the background was so funny😂😂
MssBilitroque I taught that was coming from my back yard lol
I love nail techs who normalize making mistakes during applications.. So great ❤️
When can we met your cat Suzie?? I also have a cat a 3 year old dark tortoiseshell called Tiffy 😊😘🐱💕
Go over to the nail hub youtube channel. She was on there for a q&a and the cat (I think his name is Creature) is sitting on the desk for half of the video. Plus Liz from the Nail Hub is another great nail channel!!!
I think they called the cat "Critter" in this video.
I like to keep my nails short and I always found capping the free edge a right hassle. Thanks for the dotting tool tip Suzie! 🥰😘
There’s no way I can do that I have to cure 2 nails at a time or it runs all over the cuticle
I don't wear fake nails, I don't want to be a nail artist, but I sure am watching this 18 minute video all the way till the end
17 minute

I have two very confused dogs looking round for a cat 😂🐱🐶
Mine did as well, my 3 were looking at my phone trying to figure out where the cat was
I have a confused cat and dog looking at each other first and then looking around me to find who was meowing... LOL
That’s funny
I wanna say happy Mother's Day to you, Suzie. It's Mother's Day over here in Egypt. Also, I love your nail art, and I've learnt a lot from you.

Susy you are an amazing professional teacher 👍
You should see how much cameraman knows about doing acrylic nails.
Im not saying he could actually do it cause that takes experience but hes a quick study and he has certainly learned alot
Nail Career Education You should have camera man do a video! But don’t show his face. Pull a “Wilson” from Home Improvement where we can only see his eyes and top of his head! Maybe a dust mask or something😂
They could actually add a fence photo, or an animated fence over any footage of Camera Man's face. It would be cute and insanely funny!
Absolutely LOVE that orange-y colour!! And the cat meowing in the background, adorable!!! I actually got up & thought it was my cat as well!! xxx
Can you try the ORLY builder in a bottle?? I think it would be a really cool video to see!
