Cameraman, I hope you’re feeling better! I majored in video production and ultimately gave it up, but I don’t know if everyone understands just how much work goes into recording, sound, lighting, editing, adding and adjusting audio, adding text and transitions, etc… and you are awesome at it! Thank you for all the work you do to share Susie’s knowledge with us. You’re both amazing and I hope your recovery is quick and without any complications!
Could you please give us more videos like this? How to heal cracked, damaged, natural nails, dry cuticles, change of nail growth, skin conditions around the nail, etc? Thanks for your videos!
I appreciate how you educate us in the importance of doing nails right. Anyone can post how they do thier nails but not everyone knows the importance of proper work.
It shows just how strong and durable your nails are to still be on after 8 weeks 😮 and you've been doing kitchen reno?! Wow! Sending love to your poorly finger and camera man's shoulder ❤
I always went a month in-between my appointments. I wore acrylic nails for 10 years or so and had a greenie on one nail one time. My nail tech explained how it probably happened due to the moisture. She took off the loose product, redid my nail and I never had another issue. The green part of the nail eventually just grew out.
Thank you for using your own personal experience to help better educate all those that love nails. It’s greatly appreciated. I learn so much from all your experience. So generous 🥰
You did do a number on your nail OUCH! You taught me so much about lifting, pocket lifting and the greenies, my stomach sinks when I think it's under there but then I keep going and Volia nothing. PREP is crucial!! Thank you, Suzie!
I have a client that does a lot of summer gardening and will have a nail pop off now and again. She super glued them back on and came back with three nails with greenies. She doesn’t have the time to come back for repairs. I said if you must glue them on; make sure to dehydrate your nail and the extension beforehand with some alcohol or acetone. Hopefully this will alleviate the bacteria that would be trapped.
Great info! Also, I love in the beginning when you showed the cartoony pic of cameraman wrapped in bandages that his cartoony face was covered. Adds to his mystique! ❤
Thank you so much for this. You always have such valuable information. You explain it in a way we all can understand 💅✨ and that means so much. You're so talented and really a lovely🌹 woman. Enjoy your new kitchen and I hope Cameraman is feeling better after his shoulder surgery. 🙏
My mom is STILL dealing with nail fungus from a nail salon from almost two years ago 😢. Also, I just saw a red velvet nail trend and I need to see you do this!❤
My best friend was nail technician professor and judge in the nail salon competitions in Puerto Rico, he always taught his students to prevent any unhealthy situations while working with nails.
I had greenies, they can hurt if not removed right away. Mine was sensitive to touch, and hurt if tapped or pressure, that’s how I caught it. I tried everything and nothing helped. Had to simply let it grow out for months. Got the greenies from getting my nails done in professional salons and they didn’t notice the lifting. It went for a.couple months before I felt and saw it. I taught myself to do my own nails for years now, no more greenies ☺️
My doctor prescribed me muciprocin ointment, which is stronger then triple antibiotic OTC. I use it for a few days a few times each day and it makes them go away no problem!
I also had a greenie once and I treated the nail 3 to 4 times a day with Green Tree oil, after about a week it was as good as gone. I don't want to say it's a miracle cure, but I was quick and treated it right away. ❤
What a great way to illustrate this situation! When I first started doing nails my mom was my test client. She got greenies after doing gardening with no gloves. Took her nails off and let them grow out. Told her no more gardening without gloves when I put them back on haha.
I believe that is how I once got it, due to gardening without gloves. My doctor didn’t believe that was the cause, but it started pretty much after I did my gardening.
Yes, you’re right I forgot to mention that. The most common time I ever saw a greeny was when a customer added glue because they couldn’t come in then they gardened. I had one particular customer who did that a couple of times.
Thank you for a great technical video! I will happily watch all the examples of filing off lift or just tending to lived-in nails that you can give us. Best wishes for a speedy recovery for Cameraman!
The only time I ever had a problem with any of my nails in 40 years was when I used the full cover gel tips after poly gel. I (unfortunately) was having issues getting the poly gel to adhere to my nail so it was almost always a full soak off/file off (my nails only like acrylic 🤷🏼♀️). I used the full cover gel tips because I found out last minute I was going away and ended up in a hot tub - long story short greenies nail infection and onycholysis 😭- it took 5 months of lots of treatment and begging for mercy but I recovered. My nail beds are totally different now due to the hyponychium recession but it hasn’t been that long and my nails grow fast
Hi im learning to do my own nails ive learned a lot from you but I have like small nail beds but they are like a ski jump shape is it possible at some stage in future to do a demo of how to build and shape same or similar to yours with a nice arch to them I only use builder gel and a form to do mine I find it easier ive tried acrylic but not real good at it. Thanks Robyn from Australia 🇦🇺
Happy to hear Mr Cameraman is doing ok! I want to ask about how to strengthen nail corners where the extension first starts expanding past the natural nail edge. No matter how well I prep, I tend to always get snags and breaks right on the edge of where my natural nail ends. I wanted to ask if you have any tips for strengthening that area!
11 місяців тому
Same. Specially in my thumbs it happens all the time. I’m considering doing soft gel tips to see if that helps
I love you guys. You’ve truly helped me learn. I started doing my nails a year ago and I’m obsessed. I can get them to stay on for 2 weeks! I change the design every week and the set every 2.
It’s been a week since the nail tech removed all my acrylic product from my nails. I have a bad greenie on my right thumb nail. We’ll see if it has gotten better in 2 weeks from now. I really love getting my nails done, and hope this doesn’t become a problem. 😢
Aw a broken shoulder hurts. Wow. Get well soon! I had bacteria or mold growing under my fake nail a couple times. I files it off and it never came back lol
I literally found my first greenie this morning, it probably happened by my getting lazy and intending to soak off a lifting nail and then not finishing the job for a few days
Ouch, that nail looks really sore, but I'm guessing it looks worse than it feels. Love seeing your content, glad camera man is doing better after the accident, and well done on doing the new kitchen. Best wishes to you all.
Happy wonderful year of the dragon thank you for being a beautiful motivator I lost my passion to do nails but thanks to watching your videos I think I'm interested again just want to update my skills on the polygel and acrylic 🥰🆒📰📺📽️🐉🔥🐉🎎
Hey Suzie, if i wear gel polish my nails get really thin in quite a short period of time. is there any way to prevent/fix it when i take the product off?
I had unexpectedly faced greenies about two years ago when I did my tips with nail glue and got scared. Needed this video then. But I haven’t had an issue since as I started to do Gel X kinda way as it started to raise to fame. And only recently I also gave another shot to dual forms which felt revolutionary. Also discovering acid primer has been revolutionary for my nail journey as I don’t get easy lifting compared to when I started to do my nails many years ago (still despite being years into this my application could be smoother and more refined but guess I need constant practice for that to ever work out) Good to know it’s not actually a fungal thing as I feared of that being the reason for the greenies. But I have quit the glue and just moved to gel only and so far so good.
Yes the gel is better than glue GEL X ( full cover tips ) is still susceptible to greenies still - but sounds like you have figured out to avoids those pesky lifts 👍
I just want to say I'm so glad to see that the under side of your nails looks like mine too!!! I've always hated the debris and foods and everything that changes it. I'm constantly taking tooth picks, safety pins, and even the E-filer! Lol nice to know it's normal. I shceeve it though!!! Any pointers?
I have always filed the cuticle end and reshape the apex when i do a fill. Doing this makes it do much easier to tell if there is lifting aha also easier to get rid of lifting.
personally i cant stand the dust. i have to use a manicure brush and remove it b4 i do anything to the nail as far as enhancement and again b4 polish or top coat.
Hi Suzie, I have two questions 1.what product is better between hyper gel, builder gel, or acrylic for someone who is a school teacher? 2. Why do product I get lift on my dominet hand a week of after doing a set and what can I do to prevent lift and last longer? Thank you. I love your videos
If I were only young again. I would be leaving New Brunswick Canada to come and be taught by you. Retired RN now. All finished in the outside work world : ))
And just like that cameraman wasn’t allowed to ever ride his bike again lol. Great video super informative. Distilled vinegar is a great way to make your greenie go away if it’s in the beginning stages. Thankfully I never had one.
I've red-done my nails today, usually I do every 2weeks. Ewww found the start of a greenie on my left little finger. Strange as my right hand gets banged much more and if I find one I'd think I'd lifted and not noticed on the right hand... freaked finding one as I've not had a greenie in 20 odd years. Thank you for this video as I'm forever telling friends to be careful with their nails 🙂
I’ve just started doing my own hybrid gel. Definitely not easy to tell lift when I’m currently not using very high quality products. 😳 Pretty sure I file way too much off, but I’d prefer it that way. 😅
I'd like your opinion. In Nail School, my instructor said if more than half the nail bed has lifted, it's less work & faster to completely remove the product. It'll also be stronger.
No, I don’t agree- But if someone isn’t comfortable with an Efile I get why they would suggest to soak it off rather than file. But if you learn you’re Efile it’s your best tool/ and it’s rare that EVERY nail is lifted 50% or more
I had that happen to me when I had fake nails put on and I had to have the fake nails taken off. When I noticed it it was after I had my nails redone after they had grown out and I was trying to figure out what the green discoloration was and my nail tech had to take the artificial nails off and put a ointment or something on my nails to get rid of the green colorand that was the first time I had ever happened to me. I’ve never had that happen. Could it also happen if your body has a bad reaction to the acrylic nails?
They don't hurt but I did notice the nail seems weaker in that are where the fungus or greenie grew. I usually chip off the lifted parts, then efile or use a board file, and place primer twice, then apply product. What is the product you used to see your lifting? That is interesting.
I'm having problems attaching my nails without air bubbles because I have very flat nail beds. Do u have any tricks for this problem do I dont get the greenies?
Never even knew what a greenie was thank, I just started doing my own nails with polygel, I do have one question though which is the best way to clean polygel brushes, each time I use them they seem to gunk up even thouhg I clean them and the bristles don't stay the same.
I recently did acrylics myself with some bad products and noticed greenies under a few of my nails. I took the acrylics off recently and hope the greenies go away by themselves.
When I had Acrylic nails and went in for my fills every 2/3 weeks. The tech used Nippers (or something that looked like nippers to me, a non-nail tech) to remove all the lifting Acrylic. Is there a reason you use a drill for this and not the nipers?
Nippers an pull and pry product off We never wanna do that / It’s too easy to damage the natural nail that way. And we don’t want to damage the natural nail because it is the foundation of which we are going to add more product.
Yes! Maybe your nail tech was really skilled, but if you cut off product with nippers, you’re essentially having to shove those nippers in between the lifted product and the natural nail, which is way more likely to pry more product off in the process, damaging your natural nail and/or causing more lifting. The e-file only approaches it from the top, so if it’s a tiny edge of lifting, or maybe a circular pocket or a weird shape? You can focus on only removing those lifted bits without having to shove a tool down in there and get the tool to fit.
i jammed my nail as well and that’s how i noticed the green spot- part of my nail ripped off with the acrylic. i have been taking all of the precautions that i’ve seen online but my nail is extra sensitive. should i be worried?
I have read your question a couple of times, and I can’t understand exactly what you’re trying to say. I’m trying to replace the word put, but I can’t seem to find the appropriate word that makes the sentence makes sense. If you see this could you please ask me it again?
Hi Suzie, apologies for the confusion, I would like to ask , if the clients nails have greenie after removal of the acrylic hard gel due to lifting, is it allowed to cover the nails again with any product ? Or live in the nails without any nail protection? Thank you Suzie.
Fascinating! This totally explains why in Healthcare we aren't allowed artificial nails and are also not supposed to even have natural nails with much length. To be fair, our potential to run into super bug pseudomonas is probably way higher than the average person. Thankyou for the education!
Yes, naturally you would run into this much more often than Nail technicians would. But remember pseudomonas is not isolated to fake nails or artificial nails. Pseudomonas is found in natural nails more commonly in toenails. But they are under natural nails.
How do I prevent fungus under my acrylic nails? It's been a problem for me in the past. I have fungus in my toenails which I haven't been able to get rid of using prescription topicals and oral medication. I understand that the dosage for the oral was not strong enough, but I wanted to put off another 3 month round for the present. I'm 75 years old. My problem is splitting nails that won't grow out without splitting them down into my finger. Acrylic nails worked, but I got fungus and my nails were lifting off my finger. I want to learn to do my own nails. Also, nothing other than acrylic will stick to my nails. I've tried gell which kept coming off, My nail tech tried everything she could. Nothing worked. Press on nails come off within 24 hours, and nail polish flakes off.
Got two greenies the first time I tried gel x by myself, I struggled a bit and there was a bubble or two in the gel that I cured, that’s what caused if for me I guess
Most likely. And that’s why I tried to educate. But don’t be hard on yourself because before the DIY market in Nails really picked up in the past five years, pseudomonas was happening to experience nail technician as well. And of course we’re seeing it more now because of the application of full cover tips.
@@NailCareerEducation I’ll try a second time with a different technique to make sure it’s all neat ☺️ but I learned a lot from your video since I thought it was fungus when it happened and I was horrified
I honestly wouldn't underestimate this bacteria. Like any other, it definitely can lead to health repercussions, especially if your immune system is compromised. I personally would recommend to ask a doctor or at the pharmacy how to get rid of it or at least wait till it disappears/grows out before you put new nails on because this bacteria can thrive in an environment without oxygen and do even more damage.
Goodness no! If your nail technician is removing this set because they don’t want to do a fail it’s because they don’t know how to prep this correctly for a nail fill. Removing it first of all is costly to you the customer, it’s also going to add a lot more time to the customer and the nail technician. And it’s completely unnecessary. Also, a lot of text do not know how to remove without damaging the nail plate further. There’s no sense of removing nails that are still attached. Unless the nails are detached, which is already moved anyway, there’s no point in removing this set.
When are you going to bring that singer, Katie, back on? She was so bubbly and it looked like you two were having so much with the learning and the teaching.
I probably have the worse nails in the world they are ridged and pitted brittle thin and split all the time i have horrid ledges and it makes having nails put on a nightmare as they just fall straight back of in less than 24 hours andd i know thats not right so ive started doing my own so at least i can try and keep on top of them please help
Yes, the cats are absolutely loving it now because we’re not downstairs working as much. We’re home all the time they’re in heaven. If I could just get them to help clean up around the house, they would be at least helpful more than just adorable.
@@NailCareerEducation You have no idea how many times I say that to my terrier and my greyhound. "If y'all would just pick up your messes and help clean up, I could give you more love." I'm still waiting.
Cameraman, I hope you’re feeling better! I majored in video production and ultimately gave it up, but I don’t know if everyone understands just how much work goes into recording, sound, lighting, editing, adding and adjusting audio, adding text and transitions, etc… and you are awesome at it! Thank you for all the work you do to share Susie’s knowledge with us. You’re both amazing and I hope your recovery is quick and without any complications!
Could you please give us more videos like this? How to heal cracked, damaged, natural nails, dry cuticles, change of nail growth, skin conditions around the nail, etc? Thanks for your videos!

So true and thank you
It shows just how strong and durable your nails are to still be on after 8 weeks 😮 and you've been doing kitchen reno?! Wow! Sending love to your poorly finger and camera man's shoulder ❤
Yes and I wanted them too get damaged so I can really show damage
I always went a month in-between my appointments. I wore acrylic nails for 10 years or so and had a greenie on one nail one time. My nail tech explained how it probably happened due to the moisture. She took off the loose product, redid my nail and I never had another issue. The green part of the nail eventually just grew out.
Yup this is exactly how this should go
This is one of the best in-depth descriptions and how to fix it that I've really ever seen. I appreciate it!! ❤
awesome/ well I have been doing this for 35 years - I’ve seen it all
Thank you for using your own personal experience to help better educate all those that love nails. It’s greatly appreciated. I learn so much from all your experience. So generous 🥰
You did do a number on your nail OUCH! You taught me so much about lifting, pocket lifting and the greenies, my stomach sinks when I think it's under there but then I keep going and Volia nothing. PREP is crucial!! Thank you, Suzie!
I have a client that does a lot of summer gardening and will have a nail pop off now and again. She super glued them back on and came back with three nails with greenies. She doesn’t have the time to come back for repairs. I said if you must glue them on; make sure to dehydrate your nail and the extension beforehand with some alcohol or acetone. Hopefully this will alleviate the bacteria that would be trapped.
I recently bought your nail drill. It is amazing! I'm a DIYer and I haven't had issues like I did with others in the past
It IS an EXCELLENT EFILE / I’m very proud of it
Great info! Also, I love in the beginning when you showed the cartoony pic of cameraman wrapped in bandages that his cartoony face was covered. Adds to his mystique! ❤
Oh my gosh so glad you just posted this, I had a nail fall off just yesterday and saw dark green!! Boy was I stunned 😅
I hope hubby is recovering well! Interesting video 👏🏼👏🏼
What the green liquid please

Hi Suzie and CameraMan. I’m so glad you’re back. Take care of each other. We love you both very much.
I had greenies, they can hurt if not removed right away. Mine was sensitive to touch, and hurt if tapped or pressure, that’s how I caught it. I tried everything and nothing helped.

Hey Suzie, if i wear gel polish my nails get really thin in quite a short period of time. is there any way to prevent/fix it when i take the product off?
Yes when yr filing your taking too much natural off - maybe soak instead
So can you polish your nails or do a set once you applied ointment to get rid of the greenies ?
im just starting to learn to do nails, besides a good prep, are there any other tips that most people don't tell?
I had unexpectedly faced greenies about two years ago when I did my tips with nail glue and got scared. Needed this video then.

can you do a full coverage nail extension
Yup I actually have quite a few videos with full cover tips -
And just like that cameraman wasn’t allowed to ever ride his bike again lol. Great video super informative. Distilled vinegar is a great way to make your greenie go away if it’s in the beginning stages. Thankfully I never had one.
I got a greenie from press ons, how long until I can put gel tips on?
Thank you ☺️
Hii, thank you sm for making this informational video💕 but I have a quick question, why not just soak off??
Alcohol ink? Is this the product that you used? Can you use it before all fills to detect greenies as a preemptive measure?
What was that pink stuff you filled your nail with?
Oh it’s my EZ GEL ( hybrid gel ) it’s excellent! Not to mention BEAUTIFUL Nailcareer.com
I've red-done my nails today, usually I do every 2weeks. Ewww found the start of a greenie on my left little finger.

What is the product you used to see your lifting? That is interesting.
Just make sure the natural nail is not weakened
And I used alcohol ink
Can the bacteria be passed through tools or product?
What is that green liquid called that you used to detect the lifting??? This would really be useful to use to make sure I’ve removed all lifting!
No! You don’t wanna use that - it’s staining - I only used it to demonstrate how deep the green can get in there
I'm having problems attaching my nails without air bubbles because I have very flat nail beds. Do u have any tricks for this problem do I dont get the greenies?
I hope Camera Man is feeling much better! This video is excellent!
How do you sanitize your tools after your done
can you put acrylics on when you have greenies i got on two of my fingers or is it best to let them grow out
If it’s advanced compromising the quality of the natural nail don’t put enhancements on
@@NailCareerEducation its small spots, do you think putting a layer of thin gel on will make any difference?
Never even knew what a greenie was thank, I just started doing my own nails with polygel, I do have one question though which is the best way to clean polygel brushes, each time I use them they seem to gunk up even thouhg I clean them and the bristles don't stay the same.
Clean with alcohol
But if you have a cap for the brush just put a lid on it - leave the gel in as a conditioner
@@NailCareerEducation That's what I have been doing. if I could send you a picture it would be easier to explain.
Can you vlog more, we love the nail stuff much we will watch anything you post .
omg one of my nails came off yesterday and it was green! Suzie, how'd you know?
I can sense these things lol
Thanks for this, Suzie. 😊 Wow, I thought "greenie" = fungus. 😮
What is that green stuff you put on your nail
Oh alcohol ink
I recently did acrylics myself with some bad products and noticed greenies under a few of my nails. I took the acrylics off recently and hope the greenies go away by themselves.
Where can I get that dye? I did not see it in your store
It’s an alcohol ink
This one is from enailcouture
When I had Acrylic nails and went in for my fills every 2/3 weeks.
The tech used Nippers (or something that looked like nippers to me, a non-nail tech) to remove all the lifting Acrylic.
Is there a reason you use a drill for this and not the nipers?
Nippers an pull and pry product off
We never wanna do that / It’s too easy to damage the natural nail that way. And we don’t want to damage the natural nail because it is the foundation of which we are going to add more product.
Yes! Maybe your nail tech was really skilled, but if you cut off product with nippers, you’re essentially having to shove those nippers in between the lifted product and the natural nail, which is way more likely to pry more product off in the process, damaging your natural nail and/or causing more lifting.
The e-file only approaches it from the top, so if it’s a tiny edge of lifting, or maybe a circular pocket or a weird shape? You can focus on only removing those lifted bits without having to shove a tool down in there and get the tool to fit.
i jammed my nail as well and that’s how i noticed the green spot- part of my nail ripped off with the acrylic. i have been taking all of the precautions that i’ve seen online but my nail is extra sensitive. should i be worried?
it is just a small spot and there’s not exposed tissue but like i said it is sensitive :/
No, just remove product, keep dry and let it grow off
❤❤❤❤👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 VERY NICE NAILS ART ! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 ❤❤❤
Hi Suzie, if nails has greenie is it advisable to put product??
I have read your question a couple of times, and I can’t understand exactly what you’re trying to say. I’m trying to replace the word put, but I can’t seem to find the appropriate word that makes the sentence makes sense. If you see this could you please ask me it again?
Hi Suzie, apologies for the confusion, I would like to ask , if the clients nails have greenie after removal of the acrylic hard gel due to lifting, is it allowed to cover the nails again with any product ? Or live in the nails without any nail protection?
Thank you Suzie.
What was the alcohol ink you used? As a DIYer it's a great idea!
I think k it was an Enailcouture brand
Fascinating! This totally explains why in Healthcare we aren't allowed artificial nails and are also not supposed to even have natural nails with much length. To be fair, our potential to run into super bug pseudomonas is probably way higher than the average person. Thankyou for the education!
Yes, naturally you would run into this much more often than Nail technicians would. But remember pseudomonas is not isolated to fake nails or artificial nails. Pseudomonas is found in natural nails more commonly in toenails. But they are under natural nails.
How do I prevent fungus under my acrylic nails? It's been a problem for me in the past. I have fungus in my toenails which I haven't been able to get rid of using prescription topicals and oral medication. I understand that the dosage for the oral was not strong enough, but I wanted to put off another 3 month round for the present. I'm 75 years old. My problem is splitting nails that won't grow out without splitting them down into my finger. Acrylic nails worked, but I got fungus and my nails were lifting off my finger. I want to learn to do my own nails. Also, nothing other than acrylic will stick to my nails. I've tried gell which kept coming off, My nail tech tried everything she could. Nothing worked. Press on nails come off within 24 hours, and nail polish flakes off.
I had this not long ago. Eek 😮😮😮
Got two greenies the first time I tried gel x by myself, I struggled a bit and there was a bubble or two in the gel that I cured, that’s what caused if for me I guess
Most likely. And that’s why I tried to educate. But don’t be hard on yourself because before the DIY market in Nails really picked up in the past five years, pseudomonas was happening to experience nail technician as well. And of course we’re seeing it more now because of the application of full cover tips.
@@NailCareerEducation I’ll try a second time with a different technique to make sure it’s all neat ☺️ but I learned a lot from your video since I thought it was fungus when it happened and I was horrified
I had a greenie on my thumb and was able to cut off some of it. I had to wait until the rest grew out.
You can put another fake nail on if the natural nail is not compromised
Probably a silly question but why would you do a fill and not just do a new set?
😮
I honestly wouldn't underestimate this bacteria. Like any other, it definitely can lead to health repercussions, especially if your immune system is compromised. I personally would recommend to ask a doctor or at the pharmacy how to get rid of it or at least wait till it disappears/grows out before you put new nails on because this bacteria can thrive in an environment without oxygen and do even more damage.
I love your ez gel hema free products, ive just ordered some more cant wait to get them 🤩
Can you use nippers to remove the loose acrylic and then drill?
Certainly - just make sure it’s loose
With a grow out like this would it be more beneficial to just do a new set?
Goodness no! If your nail technician is removing this set because they don’t want to do a fail it’s because they don’t know how to prep this correctly for a nail fill. Removing it first of all is costly to you the customer, it’s also going to add a lot more time to the customer and the nail technician. And it’s completely unnecessary. Also, a lot of text do not know how to remove without damaging the nail plate further. There’s no sense of removing nails that are still attached. Unless the nails are detached, which is already moved anyway, there’s no point in removing this set.
When are you going to bring that singer, Katie, back on? She was so bubbly and it looked like you two were having so much with the learning and the teaching.
She is lovely
We will have to plan another video
I got it once...
it was uncured product, I am a diy and it was at the beginning
Feel better camera man❤️🩹
Gave my nail tech a fright one time having made a cake for my niece the day before an appointment that had green icing 😅😅😅
I probably have the worse nails in the world they are ridged and pitted brittle thin and split all the time i have horrid ledges and it makes having nails put on a nightmare as they just fall straight back of in less than 24 hours andd i know thats not right so ive started doing my own so at least i can try and keep on top of them please help
I get my nails done every month or two and i haven't got greenies🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️ hope i dont jinx it 😂😂
I just had pacemaker surgery so I get having surgery and eating to recover fast. Take it easy cameraman we are praying for you.
Oh no, sorry to hear about camera man's injury! Hope he is healing well!
Poor cameraman and poor Suzie! Your nails! His shoulder! The cats were clearly not up to all that nursing. HA HA HA
Yes, the cats are absolutely loving it now because we’re not downstairs working as much. We’re home all the time they’re in heaven. If I could just get them to help clean up around the house, they would be at least helpful more than just adorable.
@@NailCareerEducation You have no idea how many times I say that to my terrier and my greyhound. "If y'all would just pick up your messes and help clean up, I could give you more love." I'm still waiting.
I went to the nail place today and when I had a infill and the nail tech didn’t do anything about it just did the infill so I had to UA-cam it 🤨😫😫😫
