I never realized how horrible my nail tech was until I started watching your videos. she'd always hurt me when she'd use a drill and sometimes she'd draw blood. turns out, she'd be using the wrong drill bit (according from what I learned in this video) I'm definitely never going back. I'd love to get my nails done by you! you know so much and your designs are always so beautiful!
unfortunately there are mor bad nail techs out there than good ones ... don't ever go back to the one you're talking about here, she seems to be a public danger 🤪
I eventually got scared of them because I knew I would get cut or burnt. So yea most of my techs didn't know how to use them 😔 My Electric file is on its way. I can try for myself and not waste so much time with a regular file.
You are so right! This happens to me once or twice and I feel as tho they must not enjoy what they are doing or they don't want to be there if they don't know how to use the drill bits. If she/ he is new that's forgiveable because they are still learning. If it may seem petty to some but that determines what my experience is with that particular nail technician.
My mother had that problem with a nail tech. She kept injuring my mom's nails. I told her that wasn't supposed to happen and to stop seeing that tech. She never went back. Getting your nails done shouldn't hurt. Yes, accidents happen but generally, it shouldn't hurt.
I really love watching the filer trim down the acrylic nails, its very satisfying for some reason... that would be a cool whole video, just watching the acrylic get filed down on all 10 nails, or 5
Your videos are amazing! I learn a lot from them. I'm not a pro, never learnt this profession, but it gives me joy to sculpture and design my own nails. I spend a lot of money on nail equipments and all these goodies :) lol Your videos and methodes are so organised, clean, neat&tidy that it's just makes me happy to watch. Thank you for doing it for us! Xx
You mentioned the time frame that the clients want their nails done in, and how nail techs steps and time by using more effective drill bits. I have seen clients come in wanting their nails done Really fast, but can't understand why. I've Never been in a rush because I enjoy the pampering. I'll stay as long as it takes to get beautiful nails Safely. When I had acrylic or gel nails, I also got them done often so my nail tech didn't have to practically rebuild my nails at every visit. Going in every 2 wks was a schedule that I found to work well because my nails grow Very quickly. Thanks for sharing your expertise 👍🏾
Hiya Suzie, just want to say how I am injoying your videos. I actually just starting watching your videos. You are so knowledgable about nails, I heard you say that your 32 years experienced. I just enjoy it so much and learn so much from you. Thank you, you are truly a doll.
Thank you very much for this video. Because you recommended the Arbor Bands I bought a bunch of them and I love them! They really are perfect to get the Gel smooth and it buys you time.
Thanx Suzie this was awesome to watch I appreciate the time you took to make this video. Your videos are so informative I recommended watching them to my whole Tafe class, needless to say most of them were already watching lol. Your so lovely to show us how you make all your beautiful nails. My day off isn’t complete without a video session from your library. Look forward to many more fundays ahead. Thanx Nikki :) xx
I did. my nails for the first time with Polygel on du day and today a nail came off. Thanks for your video. It helped me a lot removing the Polygel with my efile from my nail. ❤️
Totally agree with Beauty by Gail. Sooo wish you could come to the UK. I would love to learn in a small group with you! This was so informative but in a friendly way. Love your videos.
I loved this tutorial on how to use the e-file and the bits. A lot of people are scared of these because they think damage can be caused on the natural nail and skin, but you tutorial shows you that in the right hands and right training that you will not cause damage and you can speed you work up. I wondered if Swan have a UK site, because there site only delivers within Canada? ;-) It would be lovely for you to come to the Leeds, UK to do some training. Love watching your tutorials your also lucky when you get sent products to try out to see if they are good for us nail techs or not. I want to have a good E-file and bits, I've only got a basic hand e-file and bits. :-)
I know you do videos about acrylics and gels most of the time, but could you possibly do a video on how to repair a broken natural nail with silk wraps? By the way I love your channel and YOU! I feel so relaxed watching your videos! You're a great teacher.
i love learning from you !! i do get the coarse disposable for getting the acrylic down but yeah you will need more than one i got a good lamp thanks to you now i gotta re watch your video where you suggested drills
Love your videos Suzie! You're the only nail tech that my boyfriend will watch through choice haha! You keep them super informative and interesting. Look forward to learning more from you in the future! 💕
I love your videos Suzie!!! I find them so helpful and motivating! Being a Certified Esthetician and my husband and I are relocating to Alberta from New Brunswick, I hope to make a trip over to British Columbia!!! Keep the videos coming!
I love your videos so much I always stuck to just the Square or rounded not those others but since I've started watching your videos I've fallen in love with the almond nails and the coffin ones that you call them lol!
Thank you so much for all of your awesome videos I have learned so much from watching you and I have come a long ways I think so I just want to say thank you and please keep these videos coming because I love to learn with you Thank you and God bless!! You and kirsty Meaken from naio nails are my favorite!!!
I'm not sure if it was me or another Tania that asked you for this video but thank you, I was just asking another newbie nail tech this question today!!! Keep the great videos coming!!
Great tips! And you have a lovely voice, and are really nice to listen to. I ordered one, and it’s coming tomorrow, I always did it with a hand file so really excited to use your tips. Thanks
Once again as always you have out done yourself with your teachings. I look forward to waking up every Friday morning to watch them. I'm in Australia as you know and font get to see them until then. Can you pls let us know the best drill to get. xx
What sort of things would you suggest buying for someone who's training to be a nail tech? I want to get something for my best friend but I'm not sure what she'll need/want I'd like for it to be a surprise too
Thank you for the awesome video. I learn so much from your videos. I also realize the nail techs I would get would cut corners and increase the infection possibility. They would just pop my fill off and lots of pain was considered normal. It’s not!
I just got a portable drill and omg all the bits it came with are for buffing (no teeth). As a beginner - let me tell you... trying to file THICK AF polygel 😂 is total shart without carbide bits. I learned my lesson. Carbide bits on the way. 🙈
My husband and I love watching your videos! I really want to get into doing nails, I looked on your Instagram and double checked your videos but I didn't see what products you use. I would love if you did a video on products you would recommend especially for beginners like me. I would love start building up my collection and start practicing. 😀
Correction I did see in some videos you did mention some products like the gel products when you did the glass tip nails bit there were a lot of other products in other videos I would love to know about especially ones where you do Acrylic.
Hi Katarina- that's awesome thank you - I use a lot of different products and I'm buying more from all over to try new ones - I love OPI, MAGNETIC, and the new UGLY DUCKLING, I've worked with INN, CND YOUNG NAILS, EN VOGUE, EZFLOW / so much out there but they are all professional products - there is BLISS KISS out there for consumers, I ordered some I'm gonna give it try to see the differences 😀
+Nail Career Education Thank you so much for replying I was honestly excited when I saw that you did! haha and I appreciate what you said and would like to know how bliss kiss ends up working out for you if possible. I'll look into them myself 😀 Again LOVE your videos always look forward to seeing a new one!
Hey Susie, I was thinking… What if you did and acrylic nail but used a drillbit to carve designs into a nail? I think it'll be so cute and it'll add so much texture!
I am very lucky and have great natural nails so the majority of acrylic nails mean nothing to me. However, you are so amazing I can't stop watching! "That's crazy man!" 😛 xxx
Hi Suzie, At the start you said you can soak off the gel polish off the acrylic, but you prefer to file it off. How can I soak it off without damaging/removing the acrylic? I use Gelish gel polish and CND retention+ acrylic. Also, if applying gel polish over acrylic, do you need to use a foundation layer of gel? Or just go right in with the colour and then the top coat? Thank you!! Shanna xx
im so happy you did this video i was waiting it so long!!!i want to ask one thing, if u have a client who want manicure and gel polish without gel or acrylic underneath, you must do it with the medium arbor band in low power? or u can use an other bit (for example one that it looks like the last bit of the video but not that harsh and not that big)
I would be interested to know more about removing gel polish from natural nails with minimal use of chemicals please. Thanks for this video. Really helpful as the e file I bought came with exactly zero instructions on what to use for different applications. I want to learn to do my own nails at home.
Hi ! great video loved it!! I'm a trained nail tech but I was trained to file all by hand filing somewhat new to the efile. I am wondering how you sanitize the bits between each client ? you did mention that the sanding bands are 1 client use what about the mandrel? and the carbide bits? thanks!!
How do you do designs over others? I did an encapsulated chunky glitter and want to know if I can hand file it thinner and do another design over top or if you’d recommend to just take it off and restart?
My mom and I use Dip Powder on natural nails and we typically take it off using nail wraps soaked in acetone. How would we use the drill to take the powder off a natural nail? Do you just go over the top to get the top layer off then soak off the rest? Like you mentioned a commenter saying in your video - I don’t want to go down too far and hit my natural nail with the gritty bit.
I never realized how horrible my nail tech was until I started watching your videos. she'd always hurt me when she'd use a drill and sometimes she'd draw blood. turns out, she'd be using the wrong drill bit (according from what I learned in this video) I'm definitely never going back.

Also, where do you purchase your bits? What is the best material? Tungsten? Ceramic? Diamond?
Kiara sky has some
Aweeesssoemmmeee bits 🤞
I JUST bought my very first drill as I got more polygel under my nails than on them. Glad to see some good info on these machines.
Can you do a video to show how you use the E-File on a natural/naked nail?
I've just become a nail tech and it's all thanks to your videos❤️they have taught me so much
can you show how you clean and sanitize everything????????? btw youre amazing:)
Thank you very much for this video. Because you recommended the Arbor Bands I bought a bunch of them and I love them! They really are perfect to get the Gel smooth and it buys you time.
Idk why but watching you take of acrylic was so satisfying
Many thanks, your videos are so very informative. You explain things clearly, you never go too fast and the camera work is great,

By far the best efile tutorial. Thank you!!!!
Thank you for doing this video. Being able to see up close how you were doing the grinding was super helpful.

Hey Suzie um I was wondering what drill bits would you wabt to use for dipping powder?
What products should you use to repair your nails after acrylics? Ilysm💗😄
I'd recommend rimmels nail doctor , it works well repairing nails. But I am not sure if it works for acrylics ?
+LittleM okay thanks!😄 xx
Try IBX
I love watching her and l learnt a lot seeing her . I wish i can learn from her in person ! 😘
Hey Suzie, I was just wondering if you could make a video discussing cuticles, and how to care for them. Thanks, your my favorite nail artist💜💜
Hi Chris yes this is a great idea I am preparing for this video very soon , and soon for release, thanks
This is so satisfying
I seriously would love to meet you! And have you do my nails! I love your videos, I’m addicted to watching the way you teach!!! Thank you !!!
Hey Susie, I was thinking… What if you did and acrylic nail but used a drillbit to carve designs into a nail? I think it'll be so cute and it'll add so much texture!
They do have some bits for that / you can actually carve shapes then fill with Acylic - I should do a video on it
Hi Suzie! This video is really helpful! Which tip would you use to remove dip powder from natural nails? Thanks!
This is just satisfying
I really enjoy your videos always so informative

Love this video!
Awesome video! fun and super informative. I am obsessed with your channel :)
A really informative and extremely helpful video Suzie TYSMFS xox
Nice/ your welcome Sharon 😀
+Nail Career Education Can you do a video on different nail designs for graduation? Preferably either something light or sparkly.
Hi ! great video loved it!! I'm a trained nail tech but I was trained to file all by hand filing somewhat new to the efile. I am wondering how you sanitize the bits between each client ? you did mention that the sanding bands are 1 client use what about the mandrel? and the carbide bits? thanks!!
You are amazing teacher
So smart and cute ☺️
I love how you go from your thumb to the middle finger
Loving your videos! I will soon be purchasing a drill for at home use. Do you have any suggestions on a good one or a video already on that?
You are very good teacher. I wish if I live close to you and work for you and learn from you 💗💗
How do you do designs over others?
I did an encapsulated chunky glitter and want to know if I can hand file it thinner and do another design over top or if you’d recommend to just take it off and restart?
Omg!!She is amazing😱😱
My mom and I use Dip Powder on natural nails and we typically take it off using nail wraps soaked in acetone. How would we use the drill to take the powder off a natural nail? Do you just go over the top to get the top layer off then soak off the rest? Like you mentioned a commenter saying in your video - I don’t want to go down too far and hit my natural nail with the gritty bit.
thank you! can you do a video or review on the ceramic nail bits?xx
halo:) i love your vedios a lot. just wonder if i just do gel nail, could i file off my gel same as what you do in the vedio?
