I laughed so hard when you asked cameraman “did you get any crunchy bits in your food?” And his response of “only what you burned”! I laughed at the look on your face like, “oof, wait until I get you off camera! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Most salons in my area rip off acrylics and become agitated if you request another method. One woman got mad at me for saying "ouch". Not helpful for my social anxiety. So I'm a new nail hobbiest and learning to do my own!
Getting mad at you for saying 'ouch' is atrocious and actually absurd. Absolute lack of empathy that is. Doing your own is the best option in this case :)
Same!!! Saves so much money compared to paying high prices for nails I’m not always in love with too. I’ve been to a few places where I told them the shape and length I want and they always tell me to pick something longer or don’t understand basic shapes like almond or coffin. No thanks!!!
My ex nail tec used a tip to get the nails off. They are damaged and paper thin. I do my own nails now. I use dip powder I’m still learning. I have learned so much from you. I file and or soak off, so they are getting better and happy. So thank you for teaching me. 🥰
Omg! You read my mind! I had a nail tech use a nail tip to temple my lifting acrylic extensions. It hurt and I think it's just irresponsible to do just because they wanted to keep "business" moving as fast as they could. That's choosing quantity over quality... In my opinion...a successful business will always choose quality over quantity!
I get doing nails by yourself at home! That's how I found this channel) I had a nail tech hack away at my cuticles, it hurt, and I had bleeding and infection afterwards. That was the first and last salon manicure I ever had. Now I don't trust any other hands but my own on my nails.
Ugh, ripping off nails. I'll never forget the time as a teen I became impatient with soaking and decided to rip my pinky nail off. My nail was so weak I tore a hole down into the nail bed. No kidding- there was no nail underneath at all, just meat. It was small, but still uncomfortable. As the nail grew out, the free edge on that end of the nail looked like it had been pierced for jewelry. Lesson learned: no pulling, no ripping, no yanking.
Oh God.. I'm dying inside now, because I remembered I did the same thing!! Except I tore off the side of the nail instead, it was horrible and hurt badly... NEVER again
It was because my old technician used to pull any loose enhancements off with a plastic tip that I decided to get my certificate as a technician myself and never go back to her again. When I started to take my own clients I swore I would never harm my client's nails and always explain each step of what I was doing answering any questions they had regarding product.
Everytime I've ever gotten nails removed (different places) they've soaked and then used another tip too pry them off. I had no idea how bad it was. Thank you susie! 😭
I LOVE the short nails! I made the mistake of overfiling my nails and OUCH they are so sensitive now. Learned the hard way lol. Suzie's pets making a cameo at the end was so sweet. Thank you for being an awesome teacher
"Burnt marshmallows are yummy" 🤣 I love the energy between you and "cameraman", so cute. Your information is so darn helpful and most appreciated. You are so comprehensive with info and engaging to watch.
I used to think using nippers to grab and pull off chunks of the product was normal .. thank you Suzie for such great education. I am learning and improving. Practiced filing down and soaking off the last bits of dip yesterday. Not as good as I want yet, but seeing improvement in my skill 🌸
Same here i thought and was told something was Wrong with my nails Couse they got flakey and bleed. After they removed my nail. But they also lied about gel nails. They use acrylic and then gel polish. So after the last place (not the same place as above) i went to told me that she sold dip in system i have done my own nails. They never been this healthy lol. They may not look as good as a pro nailtechs work but hey we are learning and making the soak off into amspa rutine is amazing and you feel like roailty 🤣
Last week my nail tech used a tip to get a nail off, my nail hurt while she did it. I went home and filled my own nails and didn't hurt myself thanks to learning from you.
Hello my dear Friends!! So glad I watched this video, needed a refresher course on removing gels and acrylics. I got the go ahead from the doctor that I don't have to see him or have any test for 6 months!! You guys are way too funny and made my day!!😂 keep those video coming! Love learning!! ❤💋
I told this tech to cut my toenails straight across and first rattle out of the box she put the tip of her cuticle nippers and clipped down in the side. I told her never mind I don’t want a pedicure and I left that shop.. she never listened to a word I said
Also- Suzie, thank you for your channel. You really helped get me through lockdown and I am sure there are many others who feel the exact same way as I do. This time has been insane, and its been wonderful to find a wee corner if the internet that is calm, lovely, and full of great info. Thank you for teaching us all so much!
I’m sure I’ve written this before but I had a nail tech who was arguing with her boss WHILE she was hand filing my left hand to remove gel polish for my new manicure. She burnt my 4 finger nails and although I said ‘ouch’ and ‘please stop’ several times she continued. I had to snatch my hand away! The argument continued and due to my arthritis I was unable to feel the burning on my 3 other nails. 10 days later I was in so much pain I had to remove the gel polish. I soaked it off and over the following 3 months the damage grew up my nail bed. I had a hole in each finger nail on my left hand. The middle finger had puss and all the fingers were red and puffy. I got a referral at another salon and they confirmed what I thought. The natural nail was burnt and thinned so much down to the nail bed and infection had got in. I couldn’t wear even normal nail polish for 6 months while the nails grew out. They were soooooo weak and when the hole grew out I had to cut my nails down to the quick! I have never ever been to a salon again! I learnt to do my own gel nails now and I do them at home. I have learnt so much from watching Suzie too 💜💅🏼
I went to a nail tech who ripped of my acrylic, the acrylic on my thumbs wouldn't let go, so she used the E-file and I and up with very painful red spots on my nails of my thumbs and my natural nail was very thin. 😔😔
Had acrylics ripped off before with a metal cuticle pusher. It felt like they were peeling my natural nails right off! Super painful, and they still charged me $20 for the removal service. Because of this, I don't trust nail salons anymore. I'm planning to learn nails myself when I get the time! Thanks Suzie 😊
I’m very surprised that others had the same experience with removal as I did! My old nail technician had always found a lifted spot and wedged a nail tip under the acrylic to pop them off very very painful!
I absolutely LOVE your videos. I've been doing my own nails for a few years now, and with all your tips and tricks my nails have never looked better! Thank you so much for sharing your wisdom with us.💖
I use the low to non odor monomer it’s slow to dry but that’s how I started, you inspired me , when I gave up I started watching your channel and was one of your first videos and I remember I ask you if you could rate or feedback ok my work and you so kind and nice said yes. I said to my self, she is the best and so wonderful work you do. I have been seeing all the videos twice or more. You are a great human being and a great teacher I bet people fall in love when you train them and the don’t want te class to end! Thank you for sharing your wonderful talent with us. I admire your kindness and help you give on yr videos! It’s like free classes! My best wishes to you and your family!
Your videos are AMAZING! I have had my nails done for 32 years and every place I went they took a tip and took off my old set to put a new set on. I decided to start doing my own nails so far with polygel since I haven’t been able to master acrylic and I’m so much happy work the results. I use so many of your tips and tricks and get so so many compliments on my nails. Thank you so much for all of the educational videos!
We got some cheap white hand towels years ago at a wholesale club. While they are seriously worn, they are perfect for nails. I wipe the mostly dissolved acrylic with one when I soak off. Yes, the soaking process takes hours since I don’t file much. I can do it laying in bed watching tv. Relaxation at it’s finest!
So, I paint full cover nails before I apply them on myself. My hands are too shaky to do them on my fingers. If you had to say, what is the best way to attach them when they're opaque so gel won't work? Should I try acrylic? I've only used acrylic twice so I'm hesitant. I love your videos - Liz
Suzie.... Can you please try to do a natural looking nail with one of the the soft gel systems... I want my nails to look like I grew them out myself and just put clear polish. I can't find a natural nail polish or gel color like the natural tips you can buy... Natural is becoming popular again...I can do it with the tips but the soft gel is easier on my nails and they last longer... Thank you Suzie...❤️💅
Your so right , I have PTSD over having nails ripped off. I started getting acrylics very young like high school and I knew no better and of course the salons in my are all of them almost ripped the nails. Yes they used tips to do it made my nails so sore!!! They had the nerve to charge for that service! I am now a Tech my self ; I have worked hard from the beginning at forming techniques learning to file off, and soak off. I worked so hard for my education as you must education is always hard won . I still have slight waves in my nails from my teen years nothing insane ; but you can feel them if you run your finger on the nail surface so crazy & I am 32 year young lol 😝
11:44 keep in mind, Suzie is a professional. She knows exactly where she is filing (not on the natural nail). If you're not sure, keep the edge of the file between the adhered part and the lifted part. Move your file slowly if you have to, to make sure you don't touch your natural nail.
Hi Suzie! First off I just wanted to say how much I love your videos I’ve been a subscriber for a few years now. I go to college soon and was wondering if you could make a video on how to do your nails in your dorm. What are your recommendations?
Hahahaha "just the burnt parts" or "crunchy bits!" 😂😂 I loved the after....that's the length that works for me. I work to hard, carpenter tools and saws, to have them real long. I'm afraid I would cut my finger off! LOL
I was going to the same salon for years and they would tear off the acrylic nails if I had really bad lifting. I had lifting after every single manicure, losing nails often also. They would also charge me extra for 'fixing' a broken nail and blame me for the lifting. I have been watching your videos for months now and have learnt so much! I have been doing my own nails for some time now with no lifting, no damage, no breaks and none falling off. Now I know they we not prepping or shaping properly, likely to get me to come back more often (basically a straight up scam). Thank you so much for making these videos! You have saved my nails and saved me a lot of money and heartache. I hope that over lockdown more people discover your channel and learn to either do it themselves or to sus out who is and isn't a proper nail tech. Please keep making videos! There is always something valuable to learn from you!
Thank you Ofir, it breaks my heart to hear these awful mail stories. I can assure you most nail techs are good. Even if they aren’t the best they have good intentions. It’s why I kept my videos going, to offer info to those who seek it. Thanks for the suppport❤️❤️❤️❤️
the last time i had a removal done at a salon, she went to go rip them off and i must have made a face because she stopped and grabbed the file and soak bowl but then called me scared! and i was like hell yes im scared of that, hell to the noooo. experiences like that inspired me to start doing all my nail services myself. its taken a couple years and lots and lots of watching videos and reading information and lots and lots of filing bumpy applications, but im so much happier than paying someone else to do it. =) LOVE your channel. it helped, and continues to help me so so so much. youre like my nail mom and you dont even know me.
Thank you Suzie! You just explained to me perfectly what I've been doing wrong with my natural nails. I need a lot more practice with removal and prep because I have filed my natural nails way too much and they are so thin and I've been having lifting problems and I had no idea that was why. Thank you so much. Let me add I am not a nail tech. I'm just trying to learn how to do my own nails at home and I have so many nail products I vpuld probably open up my own salon woth all the different products I have bit I am the problem. Thank you for teaching us non nail techs the proper way to do our nails. God bless!
Hi Suzie! I’m a professional violinist. I have to keep my nails very short but I really want colorful, beautiful nails that last. I love your videos and I often think of stopping into a salon but I don’t know if I could justify it. I’m curious if you’ve ever had any clients similar to myself and what was that experience like. All the best to you and cameraman. You are both incredible!!!
I know exactly what you mean about pulling of your natural nail. I went to a "professional" and when they removed my old set to put on a new one, they removed part of my natural nail on 4 fingers. Very painful
This salon I went to was fine until I had to have my nails removed once. She soaked them off and then used nail clippers to pry off the remaining acrylic. She nearly punctured my nail bed. Another time, I had broken two nails, so I needed them replaced and the nail tech pried them off with another nail tip. Both times, it hurt, so I quit going and have since invested in the Kiara Sky gelly stips starter kit, which I'm super excited for.
I use pure Acetone to soak my poly gel nails off and not only does it take forever but it seems more stubborn than acrylic 😳 builder gel is the same way super hard to soak off..
I think it’s because she focused on teaching people who aren’t professionals and people who may not have the budget or access to e-files so she’s showing that you can do it with a normal file you don’t need the e file even if it’s easier 😊
The nail salon I went to b4 I started "trying" to do my own at home would take a tip n put it under n pull off. That would hurt so so bad n I was new to even having my nails done so I thought that's how it was done. Well one time I did mine with acrylic and one was hurting so bad and I couldn't get it off so I called that place n asked if I could stop by. Naturally they said sure. She bout killed me, not sure which hurt worse the nail or the removal process! She told me to NEVER do my own nails. That she's been doing nails for 20 years n never does her own! She just wanted my business lol as I have continued doing them myself and working on a hand. Now I have a small drill so I can remove the most then clip an acetone pad to my fingers to remove the rest! Thanks for these videos Suzie and cameraman! They r so helpful!
I'm a nail bitter and last year I was able to let them grow and I would always do gel manicures on myself but then in October we bought our first home and idk what happened but let's just say that I haven't had long nails since. This has inspired me to do my nails again, I have so much product just sitting there. I think it's time.
So many places do that ripping/prying thing! A nail tech laughed at me once because I told her it hurt 😖 I was so embarrassed I let her take the rest off🤪 - took months for my nails to grow out and recover 🤦
I much prefer filling down my nails to soaking. And, since I’ve learned that I have a sensitivity to some of the chemicals in nail products 🧐🙄 I really can’t. It doesn’t seem to be acetone or monomer, but I don’t need it to become an issue. So, soaking in it could possibly just be a chemical reaction waiting to happen for me. And, between your files and my e-file, I can shorten them in short order!! Thanks for all of your tips, Suzie! Hope the weather is as beautiful up there as it is here in WA lately! Have a great week!
"Just the stuff you burnt" "There are things called timers" Cameraman spitting fire omgggg Straight up threw Suzie under the bus! I love you two Also I don't use a timer either sooooooooooo LOLOLOL
I've been to two nail salons in my area where the technician will just pop the acrylics right off with a fake nail extension. Its painful and it did leave my nails beds weak...it took *months* for them to recover. This is truly an improper way and also a common practice. Its very unfortunate because the nail beds become so weak that it can't even withstand a regular gel nail manicure w/no extensions. I've tried and the UV lamp would burn my nail beds because they were weak and thin from how they'd pop off my acrylics. I learned this *after* becoming a licensed cosmetologist and discovered that they most likely do this to save time because in the industry time is money and that statement was very stressed to me in school.
I had my nails done just before we locked down here in Sydney 2 months ago l my poor nails l… they’ve snapped off in weird places and two actually ripped the skin off under the nails . We just got locked down even harder so I’ve ordered stuff to help repair my natural nail and I think I’ll be babying them for a long time. Anyway as always you have beautiful nails
Who better to ask than you ! QUESTION: I really want to use those pre designed french tips from back in the day ...with polygel, how would I do that with out etching the tops of the tips ? Can you please make a video !?
Oh I had a “nail tech” rip off the acrylic with a tip. Or they use an old sanding bit and continuously drill until my nails feel like they are on fire 🔥 I see your kittys in the background. They got so big😻 These is a young girl I watch on UA-cam. Her name is Mia Maples. She and her mother tried doing each other’s nails in acrylic. They said that Suzie makes it look so easy. 😀 Thought I’d just mention it 😄
Thanks for the video. I would’ve wounded someone wearing those nails for a day, much less the damage caused wearing them for a week. Giving you props for that. Can you please tell me the name and style number for your frames. I have been looking for that shape and with literally 1000’s of frames it’s been drudgery sifting through them. Thanks 🙏🏽
Thank you suzi, you saved my nails. I got extension + acrylic and I asked the tech to pinch my nails. Unfortunately, she ignored me and I ended up with thick, wide, flat nails that looked atrocious. I haven't gotten enhancements since 2006 and this was a bad experience. I didn't want to go back to the same salon since they ignored my requests the first time. Everyone kept saying how bad of shape my nails would be in when I took off the acrylics. After watching your video, I just filed them down and got a dip powder set and I'm good to go! I am glad I won't have to wait 6 months to grow out weak brittle nails! One question I have is if I can treat dip powder changes like acrylic fills? I am wondering if I have to soak them off every time? The nail salon said they soaked off dip powder each time, but I am afraid of damaging my natural nail. let me know you think!
I’ve unfortunately had a salon do that to me too I went in and said can I have my acrylics removed and get gel polish and I was under the impression they were gonna soak them off but instead they used another fake nail to pry them off 😡 needless to say I don’t go there anymore but I do my nails at home and love it so much better and I’ve learned so many awesome tips from you Suzie I can now get my nails to last with little to no lifting!!
Suzie…. If you have the protective barrier on your natural nails, do you still need to use the dehydrator and bonder when building a nail?? Also, I assume when using tips, you glue them to the protective layer?? If so, how secure would they be?? I’m not a professional, but like you, did nails even before licensing was required and before the pink came out!! The nails we did way back then, we’re just solid white…. LoL!! I picked it back up when hybrid gels came out. I prefer using acrylic though, and have been doing my own for the past several years ;)). Thanks for all the educational vids. I’ve learned so much about doing nails with all the different products and technique’s ♥️. You’re the best!!
I have a question, I take very good care of my nails, buffing them gently and oiling them to keep them healthy.I am 50 yrs old and I don’t know if this has anything to do with what happened, but I thought I’d mention it. About 2 months ago I went to a highly recommended salon to get a mani, pedi. The girl doing my nails, used an edible on my natural nail, and even after I told her I wanted regular polish, she kept trying to do gel, I’ve never had a mani hurt as bad as this one did, and the owner came over as she was putting something on my nail and told her not to use it on my natural nail. Long story short, when it was done, my nails really hurt and the next morning my nails looked like they had chicken pox, when I went back up to the salon to show her and to see what was going on, I was told I could get $5 off my next mani, of course I’m never going back. Well, since then, my nail are no splitting down the middle to the bed, I clip them back to keep from going into the nail bed, and I don’t know what to do, because as soon as they grown any, they split. Is there anything I can do to fix this? And did the nail tech cause a problem that I didn’t realize that are making them do that? I’ll try anything to fix this. Thank you for your advise.
Fabulous video Suzie so helpful with the removal and yes I've been to one of those nail salon's...I never looked forward to having my nail's done because of the pain...now I have a wonderful nail tech...laughed so much @ the crunchy bit's comment and Cameraman's quick comeback...thankyou for sharing xo 💜💅💜
Every salon I have ever been to in NJ has ripped off my nails. I now do my own because my nails are naturally paper thin. So it was waaaaay worse (obvi) after them taking layers off and than filing them before putting more product on they were non existent . I always wondered why my nails would hurt so bad when they put new ones on! Thank god I started doing my own nails and getting educated on nails! I also like to leave a thin layer of acrylic on my nails(or whatever I am filing off) And thank you SO much for your videos ❣️ -also I was wondering if I can put acrylic over a base coat ? And how well the adhesion would be.
Loved seeing the kitties make a cameo 😻😻 This video was v helpful. I’m currently trying for the first time to remove a set of acrylic nails on my own. I actually just got one of your e-files (my first one!). Getting the hang of it little by little but am v awkward with my non dominant hand so I may try using a hand file(s) for the rest of the job.
You two are just too cute! I’ve started calling my hubby ‘cameraman’ for laughs. We’ve been married 39 years and he is fully encouraging me to get into the ‘nail game’. I thought I ordered your slow set monomer kit but the fast set arrived. My mistake. I guess I’m gonna learn a bit faster!!!
@@NailCareerEducation wow! Must’ve been a good year to get married! My hubby is Ian but he only gets called that when he’s in trouble. Lol. Otherwise it’s my darling’. Xx
Good Afternoon Suzie & Cameraman 🤗💅🎥🤗 Thank you so very much for your Awesome Nail Education Videos I worked in the the Medical Profession as a Nurse for 20 years and Do too severe type two diabetes when Covid-19 hit us I had to give my 20yr Nursing Career up for good and I have always had my nails done and I just love everything nails so I went too school for Nails and I’m very new I’m just coming out the gate and I just opened up my own little small scale Nail room/Salon in my home and I keep a small clientele of family friends and a couple of outsiders I make enough to pay myself and my bills and too put back into my small Nail business and I just wanted to tell you that I use your Amazing products on my clients and I absolutely LOVE your Nail Files and your oval eight acrylic nail brushes💕💅💕But I have also learned a lot from watching your UA-cam channel and I must say Your the best Nail Tech Educator on UA-cam hands down and I thank you & cameramen 💅🎥 for all your hard work and dedication And I hope I will get to be as great as you one day Thank you so much for your Amazing Nail Education and for giving Nail tech’s and DIY’ers Your Amazing Talent and Education for free 💅💕💅 Sincerely yours Nails With Marsha 🤗
Suzie, for someone starting now how to do nails, would you suggest gel or acrylic? Acrylic needs no UV light but gel looks so simple and close to normal polish so I'd love your opinion
Camera man ❤️ you have a really great one Miss Susie! Which is why you two have lasted. Two great hearts and souls. I adore you both! Does he have any single friends or brothers? 😀🤔🤷♀️
I had my nails done professionally once (not really my speed to go to a salon personally so I didn't know anything) and my nail tech cut off my beautiful, long, nicely shaped natural nails, efiled the entire surface of my nail then glued a tip on. She completely ruined my nails, they were a mess. They're just now healthy after almost a year of growing out where she efiled my nail bed into oblivion. I like doing my own nails so after that nightmare experience I decided to learn how to use fun gel polishes (magnetic and flowery and watercolor etc) so I could take care of my own nails without having to trust a stranger. (Not to mention she clipped my cuticle and actually cut me). I like listening to Suzy while I do it cause it feels like we're hanging out :/
Would anyone else watch a hair tutorial from Suzie? She always has fabulous volume 😍
I laughed so hard when you asked cameraman “did you get any crunchy bits in your food?” And his response of “only what you burned”! I laughed at the look on your face like, “oof, wait until I get you off camera! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Lol what?l I don't get there yet!
Lol yeah that was funny 😀
LOL!!!!! Right!
I want short nails, in case I need to make a fist 😂😂😂
Haha same, Camera Man woke up and chose violence 😂
Most salons in my area rip off acrylics and become agitated if you request another method. One woman got mad at me for saying "ouch". Not helpful for my social anxiety.
So I'm a new nail hobbiest and learning to do my own!
Getting mad at you for saying 'ouch' is atrocious and actually absurd. Absolute lack of empathy that is. Doing your own is the best option in this case :)
Wow. So amazed Everytime I hear of this horrible procedure. Good for you doing it for yourself
Yeah they look at you like your waisting my time. It’s not very helpful. That’s why I do my own now.
Same!!! Saves so much money compared to paying high prices for nails I’m not always in love with too. I’ve been to a few places where I told them the shape and length I want and they always tell me to pick something longer or don’t understand basic shapes like almond or coffin. No thanks!!!
local salons here overprep my natural nails, and leave them thin, peeling and sore after I properly remove them. That's why I started.
My ex nail tec used a tip to get the nails off. They are damaged and paper thin. I do my own nails now. I use dip powder I’m still learning. I have learned so much from you. I file and or soak off, so they are getting better and happy. So thank you for teaching me. 🥰
Ditto! They may not look as great, but I don’t ever eat my nail bed or cuticle off with a dremmel!
Omg! You read my mind! I had a nail tech use a nail tip to temple my lifting acrylic extensions. It hurt and I think it's just irresponsible to do just because they wanted to keep "business" moving as fast as they could. That's choosing quantity over quality...
In my opinion...a successful business will always choose quality over quantity!
I get doing nails by yourself at home! That's how I found this channel)
I had a nail tech hack away at my cuticles, it hurt, and I had bleeding and infection afterwards. That was the first and last salon manicure I ever had. Now I don't trust any other hands but my own on my nails.
*horror violin chords*
I love the dynamics between Suzie and Cameraman. They are literal relationship goals. I love it.
I Love Cameraman, he is such a nail expert now. He knows the right questions to ask.
Having insomnia and the timing for this upload is great! Fairy Godmother's lullaby voice to the rescue!
Goodnight! Have a nice sleep!
Ugh, ripping off nails. I'll never forget the time as a teen I became impatient with soaking and decided to rip my pinky nail off. My nail was so weak I tore a hole down into the nail bed. No kidding- there was no nail underneath at all, just meat. It was small, but still uncomfortable. As the nail grew out, the free edge on that end of the nail looked like it had been pierced for jewelry. Lesson learned: no pulling, no ripping, no yanking.
Oh God.. I'm dying inside now, because I remembered I did the same thing!! Except I tore off the side of the nail instead, it was horrible and hurt badly... NEVER again
It was because my old technician used to pull any loose enhancements off with a plastic tip that I decided to get my certificate as a technician myself and never go back to her again. When I started to take my own clients I swore I would never harm my client's nails and always explain each step of what I was doing answering any questions they had regarding product.
Hello Cindy
Nio Nails has a good video of removing nails with soaking, scraping, and filing. This one is just as good. Thank you so much, Suzie.
Hello how are you
I loved the cooking segment as much as everything of course.
I learn smth every single time😘
Hi Anna
Everytime I've ever gotten nails removed (different places) they've soaked and then used another tip too pry them off. I had no idea how bad it was. Thank you susie! 😭
I went to a place where the tech did the removing with another tip as well, I never went back
I LOVE the short nails! I made the mistake of overfiling my nails and OUCH they are so sensitive now. Learned the hard way lol. Suzie's pets making a cameo at the end was so sweet. Thank you for being an awesome teacher
"Burnt marshmallows are yummy" 🤣 I love the energy between you and "cameraman", so cute. Your information is so darn helpful and most appreciated. You are so comprehensive with info and engaging to watch.
I used to think using nippers to grab and pull off chunks of the product was normal .. thank you Suzie for such great education. I am learning and improving. Practiced filing down and soaking off the last bits of dip yesterday. Not as good as I want yet, but seeing improvement in my skill 🌸

They may not look as good as a pro nailtechs work but hey we are learning and making the soak off into amspa rutine is amazing and you feel like roailty 🤣
Last week my nail tech used a tip to get a nail off, my nail hurt while she did it. I went home and filled my own nails and didn't hurt myself thanks to learning from you.
Hi how are you doing my friend
I love how you break down your videos into chapters!
Omg the camera man's roast on Suzie's burnt pizza 😂😂😂 hilarious
Hello my dear Friends!! So glad I watched this video, needed a refresher course on removing gels and acrylics. I got the go ahead from the doctor that I don't have to see him or have any test for 6 months!!
You guys are way too funny and made my day!!😂 keep those video coming! Love learning!! ❤💋
Hi Cathy - glad to help😍
I told this tech to cut my toenails straight across and first rattle out of the box she put the tip of her cuticle nippers and clipped down in the side. I told her never mind I don’t want a pedicure and I left that shop.. she never listened to a word I said
Also- Suzie, thank you for your channel. You really helped get me through lockdown and I am sure there are many others who feel the exact same way as I do. This time has been insane, and its been wonderful to find a wee corner if the internet that is calm, lovely, and full of great info. Thank you for teaching us all so much!
Totally agree with you. Love watching @susie.
I’m sure I’ve written this before but I had a nail tech who was arguing with her boss WHILE she was hand filing my left hand to remove gel polish for my new manicure.
She burnt my 4 finger nails and although I said ‘ouch’ and ‘please stop’ several times she continued. I had to snatch my hand away! The argument continued and due to my arthritis I was unable to feel the burning on my 3 other nails.
10 days later I was in so much pain I had to remove the gel polish. I soaked it off and over the following 3 months the damage grew up my nail bed. I had a hole in each finger nail on my left hand. The middle finger had puss and all the fingers were red and puffy.
I got a referral at another salon and they confirmed what I thought. The natural nail was burnt and thinned so much down to the nail bed and infection had got in.
I couldn’t wear even normal nail polish for 6 months while the nails grew out. They were soooooo weak and when the hole grew out I had to cut my nails down to the quick!
I have never ever been to a salon again! I learnt to do my own gel nails now and I do them at home. I have learnt so much from watching Suzie too 💜💅🏼
Suzy, I know you have done it while showing us tons of stuff, but video about doing gel without getting sidewalls and cuticles would rock
I went to a nail tech who ripped of my acrylic, the acrylic on my thumbs wouldn't let go, so she used the E-file and I and up with very painful red spots on my nails of my thumbs and my natural nail was very thin. 😔😔
WHAAAAAT???!! plz tell me u left a review warning ppl
@@lolopop12345 Ohhh believe me, i did
Had acrylics ripped off before with a metal cuticle pusher. It felt like they were peeling my natural nails right off! Super painful, and they still charged me $20 for the removal service. Because of this, I don't trust nail salons anymore. I'm planning to learn nails myself when I get the time! Thanks Suzie 😊
I’m very surprised that others had the same experience with removal as I did! My old nail technician had always found a lifted spot and wedged a nail tip under the acrylic to pop them off very very painful!
Love how your cats made an appearance at the end of this video n when cameraman said he don't like burnt bits in his food x
Hi 🙋♂️
I absolutely LOVE your videos. I've been doing my own nails for a few years now, and with all your tips and tricks my nails have never looked better! Thank you so much for sharing your wisdom with us.💖
I use the low to non odor monomer it’s slow to dry but that’s how I started, you inspired me , when I gave up I started watching your channel and was one of your first videos and I remember I ask you if you could rate or feedback ok my work and you so kind and nice said yes. I said to my self, she is the best and so wonderful work you do. I have been seeing all the videos twice or more. You are a great human being and a great teacher I bet people fall in love when you train them and the don’t want te class to end! Thank you for sharing your wonderful talent with us. I admire your kindness and help you give on yr videos! It’s like free classes!
My best wishes to you and your family!
Your videos are AMAZING! I have had my nails done for 32 years and every place I went they took a tip and took off my old set to put a new set on. I decided to start doing my own nails so far with polygel since I haven’t been able to master acrylic and I’m so much happy work the results. I use so many of your tips and tricks and get so so many compliments on my nails. Thank you so much for all of the educational videos!
That shape is stunning! Both the previous set you are removing and the new shape.
We got some cheap white hand towels years ago at a wholesale club. While they are seriously worn, they are perfect for nails. I wipe the mostly dissolved acrylic with one when I soak off. Yes, the soaking process takes hours since I don’t file much. I can do it laying in bed watching tv. Relaxation at it’s finest!
Oh my goodness. Your dedication to show us all of these things. God bless you 🤣
So, I paint full cover nails before I apply them on myself. My hands are too shaky to do them on my fingers. If you had to say, what is the best way to attach them when they're opaque so gel won't work? Should I try acrylic? I've only used acrylic twice so I'm hesitant. I love your videos

Suzie.... Can you please try to do a natural looking nail with one of the the soft gel systems... I want my nails to look like I grew them out myself and just put clear polish. I can't find a natural nail polish or gel color like the natural tips you can buy... Natural is becoming popular again...I can do it with the tips but the soft gel is easier on my nails and they last longer... Thank you Suzie...❤️💅
Suzie.... Look up oat milk nails... That's what I would love❤️... But with soft gel .. I have Apres and a generic kit off of Amazon... 💕
I love the banter between you and the cameraman. He sounds like a good time😂
Your so right , I have PTSD over having nails ripped off. I started getting acrylics very young like high school and I knew no better and of course the salons in my are all of them almost ripped the nails. Yes they used tips to do it made my nails so sore!!! They had the nerve to charge for that service! I am now a Tech my self ; I have worked hard from the beginning at forming techniques learning to file off, and soak off. I worked so hard for my education as you must education is always hard won . I still have slight waves in my nails from my teen years nothing insane ; but you can feel them if you run your finger on the nail surface so crazy & I am 32 year young lol 😝
11:44 keep in mind, Suzie is a professional. She knows exactly where she is filing (not on the natural nail). If you're not sure, keep the edge of the file between the adhered part and the lifted part. Move your file slowly if you have to, to make sure you don't touch your natural nail.
Hi Suzie! First off I just wanted to say how much I love your videos I’ve been a subscriber for a few years now. I go to college soon and was wondering if you could make a video on how to do your nails in your dorm. What are your recommendations?
I love watching you...I do my own nails at home and I use polygel and I absolutely love it. I have learned a lot from watching you😀😀
Hahahaha "just the burnt parts" or "crunchy bits!" 😂😂
I loved the after....that's the length that works for me. I work to hard, carpenter tools and saws, to have them real long. I'm afraid I would cut my finger off! LOL
I was going to the same salon for years and they would tear off the acrylic nails if I had really bad lifting. I had lifting after every single manicure, losing nails often also. They would also charge me extra for 'fixing' a broken nail and blame me for the lifting. I have been watching your videos for months now and have learnt so much! I have been doing my own nails for some time now with no lifting, no damage, no breaks and none falling off. Now I know they we not prepping or shaping properly, likely to get me to come back more often (basically a straight up scam). Thank you so much for making these videos! You have saved my nails and saved me a lot of money and heartache. I hope that over lockdown more people discover your channel and learn to either do it themselves or to sus out who is and isn't a proper nail tech. Please keep making videos! There is always something valuable to learn from you!
Thank you Ofir, it breaks my heart to hear these awful mail stories. I can assure you most nail techs are good. Even if they aren’t the best they have good intentions. It’s why I kept my videos going, to offer info to those who seek it. Thanks for the suppport❤️❤️❤️❤️
@@NailCareerEducation Thank you! I will happily keep learning from you, you're an amazing teacher! Lots of love from Australia
the last time i had a removal done at a salon, she went to go rip them off and i must have made a face because she stopped and grabbed the file and soak bowl but then called me scared! and i was like hell yes im scared of that, hell to the noooo. experiences like that inspired me to start doing all my nail services myself. its taken a couple years and lots and lots of watching videos and reading information and lots and lots of filing bumpy applications, but im so much happier than paying someone else to do it. =) LOVE your channel. it helped, and continues to help me so so so much. youre like my nail mom and you dont even know me.
I'm doing my nails while listening to you. ❤
Thank you Suzie! You just explained to me perfectly what I've been doing wrong with my natural nails. I need a lot more practice with removal and prep because I have filed my natural nails way too much and they are so thin and I've been having lifting problems and I had no idea that was why. Thank you so much. Let me add I am not a nail tech. I'm just trying to learn how to do my own nails at home and I have so many nail products I vpuld probably open up my own salon woth all the different products I have bit I am the problem. Thank you for teaching us non nail techs the proper way to do our nails. God bless!
I love that you said, 'make Vegetables' not chop vegetables, Thanks for allll the great stuff. Been watching you most of my life.♡
Hi Suzie! I’m a professional violinist. I have to keep my nails very short but I really want colorful, beautiful nails that last. I love your videos and I often think of stopping into a salon but I don’t know if I could justify it. I’m curious if you’ve ever had any clients similar to myself and what was that experience like. All the best to you and cameraman. You are both incredible!!!
Loved the banter! Enjoyable video. I like burnt marshmallows also!
I know exactly what you mean about pulling of your natural nail. I went to a "professional" and when they removed my old set to put on a new one, they removed part of my natural nail on 4 fingers. Very painful
😩
Hello barb
This salon I went to was fine until I had to have my nails removed once. She soaked them off and then used nail clippers to pry off the remaining acrylic. She nearly punctured my nail bed. Another time, I had broken two nails, so I needed them replaced and the nail tech pried them off with another nail tip. Both times, it hurt, so I quit going and have since invested in the Kiara Sky gelly stips starter kit, which I'm super excited for.
If I’m wearing artificial nails and I want to remove them, I always trim them down first then I soak them
I use pure Acetone to soak my poly gel nails off and not only does it take forever but it seems more stubborn than acrylic 😳 builder gel is the same way super hard to soak off..
Crazy about the color for the finished nails. Please- what is it!!!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻💕
That is hilarious about the food you burn, OMG!! Nice job on the nails.
hi suzie ! why do u not use the e-file for the bulk of this ? wouldnt it be faster ?
I think it’s because she focused on teaching people who aren’t professionals and people who may not have the budget or access to e-files so she’s showing that you can do it with a normal file you don’t need the e file even if it’s easier 😊
I wanted to thank you because I do rip mine off which I know that it is terrible but now after this video I will never do it again!! So thank you!! 🤍🤍
Really loving the background! My favorite color and it's super calming👍🏼
The nail salon I went to b4 I started "trying" to do my own at home would take a tip n put it under n pull off. That would hurt so so bad n I was new to even having my nails done so I thought that's how it was done. Well one time I did mine with acrylic and one was hurting so bad and I couldn't get it off so I called that place n asked if I could stop by. Naturally they said sure. She bout killed me, not sure which hurt worse the nail or the removal process! She told me to NEVER do my own nails. That she's been doing nails for 20 years n never does her own! She just wanted my business lol as I have continued doing them myself and working on a hand. Now I have a small drill so I can remove the most then clip an acetone pad to my fingers to remove the rest! Thanks for these videos Suzie and cameraman! They r so helpful!
I'm a nail bitter and last year I was able to let them grow and I would always do gel manicures on myself but then in October we bought our first home and idk what happened but let's just say that I haven't had long nails since. This has inspired me to do my nails again, I have so much product just sitting there. I think it's time.
Just ordered a set of files. Looking forward to using them!
So many places do that ripping/prying thing! A nail tech laughed at me once because I told her it hurt 😖 I was so embarrassed I let her take the rest off🤪 - took months for my nails to grow out and recover 🤦
I much prefer filling down my nails to soaking. And, since I’ve learned that I have a sensitivity to some of the chemicals in nail products 🧐🙄 I really can’t. It doesn’t seem to be acetone or monomer, but I don’t need it to become an issue. So, soaking in it could possibly just be a chemical reaction waiting to happen for me. And, between your files and my e-file, I can shorten them in short order!! Thanks for all of your tips, Suzie! Hope the weather is as beautiful up there as it is here in WA lately! Have a great week!
"Just the stuff you burnt" "There are things called timers"
Cameraman spitting fire omgggg
Straight up threw Suzie under the bus! I love you two
Also I don't use a timer either sooooooooooo LOLOLOL
I loved the special sound and effects! I gotta learn that!🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🚨🚨🚨
Oooooh! Suzie puting in a shout out to Young Nails!! That is such a cute color! YN has awesome stuff 😁
I've been to two nail salons in my area where the technician will just pop the acrylics right off with a fake nail extension. Its painful and it did leave my nails beds weak...it took *months* for them to recover. This is truly an improper way and also a common practice. Its very unfortunate because the nail beds become so weak that it can't even withstand a regular gel nail manicure w/no extensions. I've tried and the UV lamp would burn my nail beds because they were weak and thin from how they'd pop off my acrylics.
I learned this *after* becoming a licensed cosmetologist and discovered that they most likely do this to save time because in the industry time is money and that statement was very stressed to me in school.
Your videos are always wonderful! But the pizza conversation in this episode was hilarious!
Love it! Thanks for posting 💖
I saw kitty's tail at the end 😅 I coupd watch Suzie over and over all day.
I had my nails done just before we locked down here in Sydney 2 months ago l my poor nails l… they’ve snapped off in weird places and two actually ripped the skin off under the nails . We just got locked down even harder so I’ve ordered stuff to help repair my natural nail and I think I’ll be babying them for a long time. Anyway as always you have beautiful nails
Who better to ask than you !
QUESTION: I really want to use those pre designed french tips from back in the day ...with polygel, how would I do that with out etching the tops of the tips ?
Can you please make a video !?
Oh I had a “nail tech” rip off the acrylic with a tip. Or they use an old sanding bit and continuously drill until my nails feel like they are on fire 🔥
I see your kittys in the background. They got so big😻
These is a young girl I watch on UA-cam. Her name is Mia Maples. She and her mother tried doing each other’s nails in acrylic. They said that Suzie makes it look so easy. 😀 Thought I’d just mention it 😄
totally off topic, but Susie!! where did you get your glasses? those are awesome.
Thanks for the video. I would’ve wounded someone wearing those nails for a day, much less the damage caused wearing them for a week. Giving you props for that. Can you please tell me the name and style number for your frames. I have been looking for that shape and with literally 1000’s of frames it’s been drudgery sifting through them. Thanks 🙏🏽
Thank you suzi, you saved my nails. I got extension + acrylic and I asked the tech to pinch my nails. Unfortunately, she ignored me and I ended up with thick, wide, flat nails that looked atrocious. I haven't gotten enhancements since 2006 and this was a bad experience. I didn't want to go back to the same salon since they ignored my requests the first time. Everyone kept saying how bad of shape my nails would be in when I took off the acrylics. After watching your video, I just filed them down and got a dip powder set and I'm good to go! I am glad I won't have to wait 6 months to grow out weak brittle nails! One question I have is if I can treat dip powder changes like acrylic fills? I am wondering if I have to soak them off every time? The nail salon said they soaked off dip powder each time, but I am afraid of damaging my natural nail. let me know you think!
HILARIOUS! camera man with the subtle cooking shade has me cackling 🤣🤣
Could u possibly do a review on the beetles 6 powder dip kit?
You two are so funny! I love cameraman's music edit. 😂 Lol
I’ve unfortunately had a salon do that to me too I went in and said can I have my acrylics removed and get gel polish and I was under the impression they were gonna soak them off but instead they used another fake nail to pry them off 😡 needless to say I don’t go there anymore but I do my nails at home and love it so much better and I’ve learned so many awesome tips from you Suzie I can now get my nails to last with little to no lifting!!
Very Nice Nails and Color too.
You two are sooooooooo funny!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣your nails turned out soooo cute and pretty too. Every once in a while I like mine short too.💗
Suzie…. If you have the protective barrier on your natural nails, do you still need to use the dehydrator and bonder when building a nail?? Also, I assume when using tips, you glue them to the protective layer?? If so, how secure would they be?? I’m not a professional, but like you, did nails even before licensing was required and before the pink came out!! The nails we did way back then, we’re just solid white…. LoL!! I picked it back up when hybrid gels came out. I prefer using acrylic though, and have been doing my own for the past several years ;)). Thanks for all the educational vids. I’ve learned so much about doing nails with all the different products and technique’s ♥️. You’re the best!!
I have a question, I take very good care of my nails, buffing them gently and oiling them to keep them healthy.I am 50 yrs old and I don’t know if this has anything to do with what happened, but I thought I’d mention it. About 2 months ago I went to a highly recommended salon to get a mani, pedi. The girl doing my nails, used an edible on my natural nail, and even after I told her I wanted regular polish, she kept trying to do gel, I’ve never had a mani hurt as bad as this one did, and the owner came over as she was putting something on my nail and told her not to use it on my natural nail. Long story short, when it was done, my nails really hurt and the next morning my nails looked like they had chicken pox, when I went back up to the salon to show her and to see what was going on, I was told I could get $5 off my next mani, of course I’m never going back. Well, since then, my nail are no splitting down the middle to the bed, I clip them back to keep from going into the nail bed, and I don’t know what to do, because as soon as they grown any, they split. Is there anything I can do to fix this? And did the nail tech cause a problem that I didn’t realize that are making them do that? I’ll try anything to fix this. Thank you for your advise.
Fabulous video Suzie so helpful with the removal and yes I've been to one of those nail salon's...I never looked forward to having my nail's done because of the pain...now I have a wonderful nail tech...laughed so much @ the crunchy bit's comment and Cameraman's quick comeback...thankyou for sharing xo 💜💅💜
Every salon I have ever been to in NJ has ripped off my nails. I now do my own because my nails are naturally paper thin. So it was waaaaay worse (obvi) after them taking layers off and than filing them before putting more product on they were non existent . I always wondered why my nails would hurt so bad when they put new ones on! Thank god I started doing my own nails and getting educated on nails! I also like to leave a thin layer of acrylic on my nails(or whatever I am filing off)
And thank you SO much for your videos ❣️
-also I was wondering if I can put acrylic over a base coat ? And how well the adhesion would be.
Loved seeing the kitties make a cameo 😻😻 This video was v helpful. I’m currently trying for the first time to remove a set of acrylic nails on my own. I actually just got one of your e-files (my first one!). Getting the hang of it little by little but am v awkward with my non dominant hand so I may try using a hand file(s) for the rest of the job.
O my Gosh! 😂😂😂 The two of you are hilarious! 😂 Love you both to bits 💋💖😎😁
You two are just too cute! I’ve started calling my hubby ‘cameraman’ for laughs. We’ve been married 39 years and he is fully encouraging me to get into the ‘nail game’. I thought I ordered your slow set monomer kit but the fast set arrived. My mistake. I guess I’m gonna learn a bit faster!!!
Lol- 39 years?! US TOO! What’s yr hubbys name, I’ll call cameraman that lol - 😂😂😂
@@NailCareerEducation wow! Must’ve been a good year to get married! My hubby is Ian but he only gets called that when he’s in trouble. Lol. Otherwise it’s my darling’. Xx

Love the rings in the reveal shots!!!!
Suzie, for someone starting now how to do nails, would you suggest gel or acrylic? Acrylic needs no UV light but gel looks so simple and close to normal polish so I'd love your opinion
You have taught me a lot about nails and thank you !
I'm watching you file and so wish I could preserve my cuticles during. I try and try and still nip those cuticles.
Literally ripped mine off the day you posted this 😂 watching now, thank you!
If the nails lift and fall off on their own then is that also taking off layers or is that just the product separating from the nail?
👀
u have such pretty nails susie
Camera man ❤️ you have a really great one Miss Susie! Which is why you two have lasted. Two great hearts and souls. I adore you both! Does he have any single friends or brothers? 😀🤔🤷♀️
I love you and love your videos...its like a story tale for nails ...you're amazing and so lovely 😍 💕
camera man got those jokes......then mrs. suzie "in case i need my fists!"😂😂 love those glasses too!
I had my nails done professionally once (not really my speed to go to a salon personally so I didn't know anything) and my nail tech cut off my beautiful, long, nicely shaped natural nails, efiled the entire surface of my nail then glued a tip on. She completely ruined my nails, they were a mess. They're just now healthy after almost a year of growing out where she efiled my nail bed into oblivion. I like doing my own nails so after that nightmare experience I decided to learn how to use fun gel polishes (magnetic and flowery and watercolor etc) so I could take care of my own nails without having to trust a stranger. (Not to mention she clipped my cuticle and actually cut me). I like listening to Suzy while I do it cause it feels like we're hanging out :/
Im just gonna say Thank you Suzie!
Seriously omg that was so funny, @April K .. I laughed so hard too 🤣 😂
