That was so nice to show some flaws in what she just did. Like telling everybody I'm not perfect with this but we all can learn to be better. When I was learning how to do nails your channel has been one of the channels that ad influenced me the most. Ps: I miss doing nails.

[@agustinajimenez1195]

He has returned!! Honestly i need your help with my nails. Mine get just as bad as grant’s. And the salons near me don’t use those kinds of tips or forms, and they make the nails way too long

[@bflmps77]

If you happen to be in Thurrock UK, I can help 😉

[@clarewhite3004]

I've never had fake nails, but... I thought they were supposed to make them the length you want, as long as it's stable! What's the point otherwise?

[@agustinajimenez1195]

Clare White the thing is that using the traditional half tips (which most salons near me use) you can’t shorten them very much because it takes away from the stability. Which is really annoying for me because the half tips (in my opinion) add unnecessary thickness for shorter styles

[@luna.37]

@@clarewhite3004 if you have little nail bed but a very long extension, you're at high risk of ripping them off accidentally - both the tip and some/all your natural nail, too. That's why she was speaking about using a fraction formula to know what a safer length would be - especially, as she notes, for someone unused to wearing nail extensions (therefore more likely to rip one or more off).

I love Suzies undercover sassiness in this video. All of these products are great and much needed but I do question how much business a nail tech is losing because of products like this that make it more accessible for the regular consumer to do their own nails. Thanks Suzie for all you do.

[@freelyevolving]

LOL I thought I was the only one that noticed it! I'm a nail tech and I love doing these for people, inhaling all the drill dust and acrylic started making my chest hurt!! But alot of them feel like this about the new gel tips. Some nail techs are even commenting under other techs post saying they are cheating at doing nails! LOL

Well rest assured...you'll still have business after DIYers like me glue their fingers together!!!🤣🤣🤣 I think you're fine.....😉

This is very good to know, I'll let my nail biting friends know about this video

[@francesmccully6688]

Can you please share how the underside looks? Does the product squeezing out touch the tip of the finger? Can you do a video on these showing how to keep the underside nice?

[@parkerpants96]

Nail tech here :) so when you apply pressure to the tip the product underneath will naturally spread and fill up any empty spaces, exactly what you want it to do. What you use under the tip to apply it to the nail is important though, if you use regular glue it can really irritate the skin and also cause problems with the nail growth because your fingernails actually grow upward through layers of keratin. If you glue a tip to the nail and also the skin normally covered by the free edge of a nail, it can pull the skin and essentially smother the nail once it starts trying to grow. Not good for oxygen flow or being able to wash bacteria out, also it won’t be a sturdy foundation for a nail tip as it will probably not stand up to daily life . :/ using a polygel or hybrid product to apply the tip is not as harsh as it does not normally stick to the skin once it’s cured. As long as you use the right amount for the client’s nail you shouldn’t have too much of a problem. If you have excessive product after the curing process and the client is uncomfortable or you just want to sculpt it a bit, you will need a drill bit to get in there and remove some of the product. If you have room on the under side of the nail, after the tip is applied but before the product is cured, to smooth out the product then definitely go for it but because of how short his natural nail is, I’m assuming she wanted to leave some kind of filler in place. There has to be something there to support the tip and apex of the nail tip or it will come off very easily and possibly painfully if it’s bumped or snagged on something. Once the client has a more workable length of nail, you should be able to use any other technique of extension or overlay. Hope that helps :)

[@skitles50213]

@@parkerpants96 Wow, this comment was so helpful and answered so many questions very thoroughly. Thank you for sharing!

[@kirannathani9123]

@@parkerpants96 is there anything we can do to extend the tips ? Like I have very short nails n they grow very very slowly also keep breaking ...got fungal infection with gel nails so I don't want that again but was wondering if Der is smtgh which doesn't require buffing n can b only for the tips ??

[@parkerpants96]

Kiran Nathani you can try just getting regular nail tips and gluing them on before you apply the gel. Tips work with polygel/acrylic and keep the underside of your nail smooth as there’s no product applied underneath the free edge. If you don’t want to buff you would just have to apply the gel very smoothly, but honestly most nail extension applications require SOME kind of buffing or filing.. 🤷🏼‍♀️

I love grant! Always some of my favorite videos. I used to bite my nails and skin because of anxiety but I personally found that caring for my nails makes me not bite at them anymore. So always doing my nails, doing cuticle work, moisturizing etc. of course it’s just my experience but maybe that might help someone else! Because now that I have nice skin and nails I don’t want to ruin them again!

[@EnchantedAlana]

Glad to see Grant's back. I'm learning how to sculpt my own gel nails at home (and learning from KZbin) and I've recently started using this type of nail to get used to seeing the proper shaped nails on my fingers. Already my structure has improved when I take the time to sculpt my own. And yes, I like short/medium nails 'cause they're practical - I'm a medical typist plus I tend the gardens and grass around here - with 5.5 acres, it's not always easy to be conscious of my long (for me) nails.

[@ellimusicqueen]

Suzie let‘s Talk about how pretty your nails are 🤩 The black with glitter underneath is the bomb

[@kelly-annewiegand9442]

The video you both couldn't recall was Grant's stiletto nail. I love watching all of your videos. Its because of you having Max on while using his 123 go that I got into using them as well. I love watching you. You are a wonderful person and awesome teacher. God bless and be safe.

[@elizabethjulia20]

Ohmygosh I've been watching your videos religiously this month as I try to learn how to do my own nails and until the mention of a "timmie's french vanilla" I hadn't know you were Canadian!!! Love that... and now craving some timbits and a french vanilla haha.

[@susantinder90]

Great video Suzie. I am really liking my 1 2 3 go nails. Once they are on, they are on - they ain't going anywhere. Can you do a video on how to back fill these once they start to grow out at the cuticle? What product you would use to back fill and at what point do they have to be soaked off?

[@Oonagh72]

I use rhinestone gel. Love it. However hybrid gel is great too! That color is beautiful on Grant!

[@chandanicholson5854]

I saw two videos where they use rhinestone gel. I was wondering did you use clear or natural full cover nails?

[@alisongriffin337]

Brilliant to see Grant, love it when you two are together. Stay safe and take care. Xx

[@kimchi1411]

Suzie, is using the polygel underneath more durable than using a nail glue? Just curious because most full cover tip kits come with a nail glue..

Yayyy!🥳 I mean, WHO DOESN'T LOVE GRANT! 🤗 And Suzie and Grant together... THE BEST!😍🙌🏽 I'm so jealous of how beautiful Grant's hands and nails are! He should be a hand model 4 SURE! I feel like alot of ppl don't go with square nowadays, cuz if ur nails are on the larger side they can look really big And bulky, but MAN!🤩 Grant wears them so beautifully, I love Coffin shape on him as well! 💅🏽💗 Another AMAZING video Suz! Loved every minute🥰 Hope everyone's staying safe.. and sane through all of this mess🥴 Always remember to be kind and compassionate, in times like these we need each other the most. Love and prayers for you all!🙏🏽

Dang I know Grants naild and fingers too well 😂 Honestly I wish I lived near you. I got my nail set a smidge too long last time and it was horrible. Now I have my natural nails grown out enough that I don't need tips and I keep them relatively short Also I found out that I'm not allergic to dip powder which is amazing and makes my heart so happy. I can get my nails done again to let them grow out!

Good to know that the gel can still cure through the tip even though it's not totally clear! I have some tips but I assumed since they weren't as clear as clear is, that they wouldn't work...they're about as see-through as the ones you're using but they're more of a white shade. I wonder if they would work?

[@andreaduggan66]

Suzie, I do my own nails now with 1,2,3 go. I hear what you are saying about professional service vs what I am able to do with these tips at home. However, not only are the tips better shaped than the nail salon I can afford near me, but they last weeks longer. The cheap nail salon near me gives me nails that only last a week, but now I can have these nails for three weeks AND fill them myself to make them last longer. When you say that this system is only for a weeks wear, that is not true! This can be a great replacement for going to the salon if you are a student or have low pay income.

Grant with the long thumb cracked me up. Whenever I would get my nails done at the salon I would ask the tech to make the thumbs just a smidge shorter than the rest of the nails. It made a huge difference in me being able to function with acrylic nails :)

[@dc515]

I have a rule for it 😂😂, my thumb nails has to have the same length as the middle finger, measure from the cuticle until the end of the tip, so the whole nail, and it looks so good. I hate those longer thumbs

[@curateddaisies4128]

I'm lucky or not, I'm not sure yet, that the longest nail beds on my finger are my thumbs. So I literally cut them down to the nail bed and they're still longer than my other nails grown out, I then notice I had an easier time handling stuff.

Is there a reason for that, or is that just a misconception? Also, any tips on caring for our toe nails (or if it's even necessary to do so?)
