Suzie! You should do a "nails through the decades" series. It would involve recreating nail styles from the past to the present (maybe 1920s-2020s)! I'd especially love to see your take on the '80s, which you know so well ;)
P.s., I love your videos so much. I'm in grad school right now and I've been using your videos to unwind from all the stress! Thank you for all that you do.
Hi suzie just wanna say luv u and your my favorite mail artist/technician even though I am 14 I luv doing nails and I hope one day I can go to get a business degree and earn my nail license and learn how to do all types Of nails and become an owner of a mail studio so yes I just wanntd to tell you that u inspire me more than you know and I have learned so much from you Thank you
So excited to watch this!!! I've been trying to perfect coffin nails but, haven't found the right technique yet. I already know how helpful this video is going to be!!!
I found that if I shape my nails before I take off the polish it turns out better! Almond shape is my most hardest nail to do.. But you are absolutely right you have to take the top off to see what it really looks like!! Thank you Susie!! Great advice!
Oooo nooo son mi pesadilla!! I haven't get the perfect coffin shape yet but with your guidance I will get better thanks to share your knowledge I really enjoy them gracias!!!
Thank you Suzie I have learned so much watching your videos. Glad I came across this channel! I love coffin nails and I have started doing them myself ever since covid began. Very helpful videos thank you! 🤗
It took me a long time to realize that "the top of the muffin" was just as important as every other angle. This is invaluable advice for nail techs, Suzie. Thank you!
YES, coffin is my favorite! One thing that’s been on my mind lately are the trending coffin nails on IG - they look to be rather flat (as in minimal to no c-curve), yet have a very distinct, crisp shape. If I had to guess, they are probably achieved with tips. I personally prefer mine to look like yours, but clients often find it hard to resist the Instagram shaping.
omg please do more videos about mastering nails shapes! all of them I need that and I understood everything while you were explaining like very easy ! so please do more love you and thank you for sharing
Omg thank you so much! I've sifted through countless UA-cam videos on how to get this coffin shape just right and I still was struggling! but when you explained the Muffin top example and I watched you work your nail file, it really clicked me and I feel like I will finally be able to successfully achieve the ballerina shape as opposed to even the coffin I know how similar they both are but I still see there just a slight variation and I've always struggled to achieve my fave of the those two, the ballerina shape!:) so just want to say thank you so much!! your videos are always super informative and it's really great content keep it up!!
Wow this is awesome. I’ve been trying to look for shaping videos for so long and they don’t explain anything properly. Thank you Suzie! Please do all shapes! :)
I would love too see it done on real nails, bc you can't really file on top of a real nail like that. In general i would like to see some of your work done on real/natural nails. Like what would you do with a crooked nail and so on.
I third this! I have natural nails which I file into a coffin shape and it’s so tedious. All it takes is doing one nail wonky and the whole hand looks a mess 😭
Hey Suzie, thank you so much, such a great video and you always explain everything so clearly. I’m from the UK and would LOVE to do one of your international courses - hopefully you’ll be hosting them in the future 💅🏼💗
I just watched your wedding confetti gel video and absolutely love it!!! It wouldn't let me comment and I really wanted to ask you if you could achieve the same thing/look with polygel?
Hi Suzie!! I do my own nails & have been wanting to try the Coffin but….. the end of a few of my fingers turn inward towards my middle finger. I have a nerve disease that messes with my nail growth so it’s actually the whole nail that turns but looks like it’s the finger tips. (Making a simple square can be difficult at times & still look wonky even though it’s "straight") Do you have any handy dandy tips regarding this when trying a coffin shape?? Follow my finger in making the shape & not necessarily the nail growth direction? Or do you think trying to get them all to look symmetrical may not be worth the hassle? Thanks a ton for all you do!! ❤️
I learned more from her in short videos than I did in a year of nail school 3500 later 🤦🏽♀️ All hail the Queen. She is amazing in every way. I’m so thankful for her :) 👑
IKR, I am five months in a far better off than I was for 8 years, of course a lot of it was also being iron and b12 anemic so I couldn’t remember much, but now I’m gluten free I can actually make more sense of everything I learn here, and Susie is the most positive, gracious, and easy to follow teacher. Although many others are good, not all are good teachers, and she is definitely a good teacher.
This was SUCH an amazing video!! I just couldn't figure out why my coffins would be so square on the bottoms but look so rounded on top!!! This was a wonderful visual guide, I'll be rewatching this a few times to make sure I fully understand! What a huge difference when you file that "muffin top" away (lol)!!!
Oh my nails definitely go side ways after I try to shape it... i will probably draw these guides on my nails for the foreseeable future lol thank you so much!!
I wish techs at the nail salon would draw on my nails when I want something other than a usual square! I wouldn't mind since it would provide a visual guide for the tech and me when it comes to how I want my nails shaped but it's probably seen as unprofessional/amateurish. The trouble is my coffin nails never come out looking the way I want them and I have to end up filing them myself to fix them, which I shouldn't have to do after paying for a pro to do them.
@@DarlingNikki2 you should tell your nail tech. If it's a good shop, they're very open to you getting exactly what you want. Bring picture references. After they shape one, take a look and ask for what you want. You're paying good money. You should get what you want.
Make your short square shape, then take a long buffer file and soften those corners. Sometimes that just enough to get that squoval look without taking off way too much. Good Luck 💅🥰
Thank you for this!!!! I am not a professional nail tech but I do, do my own nails and I always mess up on a coffin!!! Again thank you for showing us how to contour the nail into this shape!!!!
Suzie, I just became a nail instructor, here in Las Vegas. I just got my first class last Friday. We zoom M-T and in class W-Th. My students have expressed the desire to learn how to to different shapes. I'm the 4th out of the 6 instructors that they will have. I will definitely be showing them this. I have a curriculum to follow and it doesn't include filing, but as long as they get what they are supposed to, I have free reign. Thank you💜
First off, where is the Nail Career Education Spotify playlist??? I would follow the ish outta that! Thank you so much for this video! the coffin is my favorite shape but my technique for a consistent shape involves several hours and a loootttttttt of praying hahaha.
Thank you so much, you hit the nail on the head when mentioned building a great nail but if you don't file correctly you can mess it up. This is going to help me so much.
U r the best nail technician..I have seen..ur videos inspire me a lot mam..I have learnt more things from ur videos.. I am from India..I have a great passion in nail art..I want to study the nail art professional courses with certificates..can u pls guide me the instructions and procedures for it mam...
Omg!!! This was a game changer!! I’d been filling the sides forever and now that I’m “attacking the muffin top” my nails look amazing!! Thank you so much for sharing in this video. Best nail tutorial on UA-cam EVER!!!
@@marielanders1218 I hear the term used interchangeably, however I often wonder why the term coffin is used far more.

You have to file the top!!!!!!! HOW DID I NOT THINK ABOUT THAT! I just kept filing the sides and got these stubby chubby looking coffin nails and decided to abandon the idea. I’m gonna give it another try!! Attempt #2 here I come!!
Thank you so much for this, Suzie! I’ve been doing my nails as you explain and this is the first time I’ve created a good coffin shape. You are a marvel, never stop educating us ❤
Suzie, can we please be best friends? We can have sleep overs and do each other’s nails...Actually, you probably wouldn’t want me to do your nails (yikes!), but I can make a mean margarita. 🍹😉 I’m loving your channel; I’m learning so much! ! Thank you, you are AMAZING my dear! 💜😘
Tbh Suzie, the “mini coffins” look absolutely BOOOOMB😱 I’m amazed😂 mostly because that’s exactly the lenght of my nails - them be going into mini coffins now!
I've only had one nail tech that can actually do my nails the way I like them. The only thing is she's in Texas and I'm in WA State (until my pregnancy is over). The amount of time she spent on each individual nail was insane! I got acrylic nails a little shorter than yours or maybe the same length? The appt took over 2 hours.

Hi Suzie I know this video is not recent I hope you can still answer my question,on the very first nail you started filing were you filing underneath the sides and than worked your way up to the sides? That's what it appeared like to me but I just want to be certain about it.. Love your videos as always 💅💜
Your voice is so pleasant and this was so helpful! I've been buying these medium length sqaure press ons bc they're really cheap and strong and I think this will really modernize their look!!
How is there a Susie show that I haven't seen before? Lol okay, looks like I get to binge a few episodes that I missed. Best news I've gotten all day 🙌 whoop 🙌 👏 👌 👍 😀 😄 🙌
Can u please do a tutorial for coffin shaping but from scratch ?? Cause am trying to master the coffin shape with my hard gel and ur tips would really help .... lots of love , keep it up we love YOU ❤🥰

Awesome🤗
Oooooh so THATS why my coffins weren’t sharp lines but instead bowed. I’ve been getting better but this ‘nailed it’ thank you so much!!
I just watched your wedding confetti gel video and absolutely love it!!! It wouldn't let me comment and I really wanted to ask you if you could achieve the same thing/look with polygel?
Wowww exactly what I was trying to figure it out !!! Xxxxxx bye the way it's Nadine and you were right my greenie just got away 😘
I love your videos ❤️❤️

I always love your videos, they're so clear and easy to follow :D
Omg, this helped me so much!!!😃😃😃 My nails always look so bulky when I try to do coffin shape nails . . . Or any other shape🤦♀️🤦♀️🤣🤣🤣

Nice
Suize, I need nail tech classes online ASAP
Im working on that now darling
Its a big project
What about natural long nails with a strong c-curve?
Yes!
First!!! Love your videos Suzy
I can do the sides but the top always gets me messed up
Good afternoon

For those of us that are ‘Visual Learners’ this video hits the spot! Thanks Suzie!
Thats me for sure- im so visual
Yes!! So helpful! I would love to see tips and tricks for sculpting a stiletto from other shapes like this
Thank Suzie, this is what I needed 👍😁
was gonna say great visual aids!!!!!
I learned more from her in short videos than I did in a year of nail school 3500 later 🤦🏽♀️

Omg I was so wanting this video and magically it appeared.
Oh my nails definitely go side ways after I try to shape it... i will probably draw these guides on my nails for the foreseeable future lol thank you so much!!
