How To Nail Polish Like a PRO - Watch a Beginner Learn 🎓

[@BeckyJayson]

I love how you can teach such basic skills without sounding condescending. I love that. I am awful at nail polish and this really helps. ❤️

[@MzClementine]

This is why she is a professional... And it doesn't matter how many times she has to tell someone she can still hold that cool calm collected style within her... Yeah you don't want me as your teacher. Nope you don't want me as your teacher. 😶‍🌫️😆

[@reneeburtness1526]

I think she's just actually a really nice person and it shows. Unless u just have a certain a personality u can sound harsh when they don't mean to

[@christinabrayboy8759]

Omg yes I am terrible at polish as well so happy for this video!!

[@willcookmakeup]

Suzies the nail education queen! She has to be to super patient with her students. I appreciate this too though. As a former makeup educator for Sephora, there were often time when a question as asked about a skill that in my mind is super basic and it was often hard to find a way to explain it without sounding condescending too

[@Demi1369]

I totally appreciate that quality of Suzie too! I don’t have that kind of patience, even for myself. 😭

[@lindseybotelho]

I love when you include Cameraman! You should make this a series of teaching Cameraman the basics! Let's see how good he can get ❤️

[@13lilsykos]

Yes!! I LOVE this idea!

[@bxter3971]

I'd vote for this too! Absolutely ADORABLE! I have no idea how I found myself on this channel but she's so lovely ... like I could listen to her teach anything! And cameraman is a cutie too. What a good sport!

[@SewingReport]

It would be awesome if Cameraman ended up being a nail pro! I'm loving this!

[@sagotas3938]

lol, I thought she was saying Cameron.

[@BananasForSale]

the tip about floating the nail polish onto the nail resulted in my first manicure without any bubbles ! i also found they dried way faster this way instead of putting pressure on the brush it’s so weird how one little technique tweak made a massive difference thanks !!

[@kgirl1019]

I LOVE to hear her laugh. They’re so adorable together. And I love the camera effect of not showing Camera Man’s face. All of their filming techniques are top notch. It’s very entertaining as well as the educational side. Love you guys!!

[@RoeBoats]

literally watched this ONCE and it majorly improved my nail painting skills, didn’t even have to use a clean up brush!!! totally impressed myself, thank you sm Suzie!

[@Sethisalive]

You are sooooo wholesome. I love how supportive you are with all the “that’s okay, we can fix it!” Vibes. That’s how I like teaching people(not nails cause I’m an amateur) too! This was a great video 😊

[@Liz_Dave]

I appreciate the sacrifice that cameraman makes to show us what it's like for someone who's never done nails before.

[@IvyHuynh-p1x]

The interactions between the two of you are SO SWEET. I love that he’s is putting in his honest best effort and you’re so supportive and encouraging. Made me smile

[@AlexaDenisexo]

i love y’all so much. when he said “the best you’re gonna get” i felt seen lol it’s also very reassuring that you’re kind and gentle in the delivery of your critiques and advice. thanks for being there for us to learn!

[@nanner8584]

Teaching cameraman to do it is extremely helpful, and gives the opportunity to show common mistakes and fixes. It also acknowledges that the viewer will not magically pick up on the skills just from one watch.

[@bubbydumas]

You are a good and patient teacher. As an observer, it was soooo painful to watch! hahaha (but it's a good reminder that the things we know without thinking are actually something we learned long ago). thanks for another great video. Rose

[@christinatorressd]

Same here! This was painful to watch but I've been painting my nails for 25 years!

[@silverstar0404]

I have struggled with painting my nails my whole life, and honestly, just tried this technique and it really made a huge difference! Thank you so much for putting these videos out there!!!

[@Kazner0h]

You have such a calming voice and cadence. Very beginner friendly.

[@kristenfrosch]

This was hilariously fun to watch. Even as someone who's applied nail polish for decades at home, I still learned some new stuff.

[@jleaclark]

This is me trying to paint my own nails!!! Love that you two make it fun to learn the right way.

[@LIZZIE-lizzie]

This is a terrific tutorial! And for those of us who have been doing our own nails, off and on, for 40 years. I'd watch my mom who would go around the polished nail with the thumbnail cleaning off the sides - and so I do my thumbs last. Nail polish I keep in the fridge and shake, shake, shake until I hear the ball bearing, after it warms up. Beautiful lighter colors and tints can be difficult to do, so those colors I get done at the salon. The best were the nail kits they sold during the very early '80s and putting them on when having to study all night for exams in college. They took three hours but were gorgeous when done right! Terrific tutorial! Thanks, Suzie 🥰

[@chrissit7202]

I always do my thumb nails last for this same reason and I leave my non dominant thumb for the very very end because I know I have a better chance of not messing that one up lol

[@jinxie8]

OMG you are both so patient. I was screaming STOP when it started to get gloopy the first time. He did a good job after trying over again!

[@chelym4094]

You are fabulous!! I’ve been painting my own nails for 35+ years and never seen a tutorial like this that puts all the info in basic terms and makes it so much easier! Thank you!!! 💜💅🏼💜

[@michellew.7669]

So happy to have found your channel! You project such a kind and pleasant demeanor. I am 5 weeks into nail tech school, and my instructor unfortunately doesn't contain a quarter of the grace and patience you seem to have. Thank you for such detailed videos (and to your cameraman, too)! To add, what a serene space from which you create and work!

[@femmec6644]

God bless Camera Man. I love watching him try. I feel like he did a good job 👏🏾 👍🏾for someone who doesn't do nails.

[@AndreeCynthia]

I seriously appreciate you doing so many nail polish videos. I don't do acrylics sadly, or polygel. But I do want to gave really pretty nails with polish and this, it's such a helpful tutorial for anyone's level. Cameraman will definitely get better as long he practices!!

[@C1nderfire]

He is so committed! He did really well even at clean up. Good for him.

[@danyaelwilliams5741]

I love the way camera man supports you ❤️

[@rebecacabral1]

I do my own nails in my Brazilian way, and I have never heard about cleaning the cuticle with brush soaked in remover! We wrap a bit of cotton around a stick tip, soak it in the remover and go around all the nails to make sure everything is clean, and the nails are completely polished. It might seem a lot of extra work, but it's worth it! Good video!

[@violetviolet888]

Rebeca Carbral, The reality is that what everything thinks is the "cuticle" is called the "proximal nail fold" and it is living skin that is there for a reason. When you push it back, you are causing trauma to that skin. Dermatologists consistently say it's one of the top ten things they would NEVER do. Save your self time, money, and pain. Leave that area alone.

[@sophia-marieyoung6773]

Yes, that's the only way I'd ever seen it cleaned up before until quite recently. And I'm in the USA.

[@TGYtco]

You guys are so fun!! I have loved watching these two videos! My hubby watched the first one with me and cracked up laughing. He would be the same as Cameraman. I did his cuticles once and he whined through the whole thing. He is an expert mountain biker, rock climber, and 5th degree black belt. I said, "Really? It hurts? I do this to 3 year old girls and they don't make a peep." Haha!!

[@fionabangay3071]

Suzie, you must be a mind reader! I was just hoping for a 'polish' nail tutorial.. as I been using gel so much, I had forgotten how best to apply polish!! Well done Cameraman... we love your enthusiasm to 'get it right'... my husband won't even come in the room, to talk to me, as "The Smells" he can't handle.... & he is a Veterinarian 🙄😄 so cuddos to you Cameraman 🙃💅

[@pinkfeet518]

i’m in the same boat! doing gel extensions and gel polish and press ons made me forget basic skills. i’ve been neglecting my regular polishes and when i try a regular mani, i immediately wish i did gel instead 😂😭

[@NachaBeez]

That’s so funny! My husband loves the smell of nail polish/remover 😂

[@lulabella9249]

Great job cameral man!!! Nails are not for the faint of heart! I only do my own nails to keep my mind and my fine motor skills sharp....humbly, I say it gets harder as we age but it's so good for our brains.

[@shakera02]

Omgosh, he is adorable! Trying so hard and so concerned. Super cute.

[@a.c.2856]

I’m so happy I found you. I’ve been searching for a basic but informative video. None of that typical blogger banter. Straight to the point while being entertaining at the same time. THANK YOU!

[@nehdoll]

Always curious about shaking vs rolling bottles. Glad to hear your thoughts on it!

[@WomanTakenBytheWind]

The nail community has some of the most amazing teachers Suzie, and you are definitely one of them.

[@tandra5821]

What an amazing instructor! I love how calm and easy-going she is. Very professional.

[@kawtsuki]

I've recently gotten into nail coloring as a renewed hobby. (high school days I had a small phase and did some out there colors lol) Now, it's more focused on self care and enjoying having pretty cute nails to match the season and my mood. Thank you for this video, I've always had a rough idea on how to paint nails cuz I used to watercolor and I do draw, but seeing a professional do it, explain it, and demo a beginner's POV is wonderfully educational! :)

[@jashunashrestha1265]

🤦‍♀️ I'm 30 I finally learned how to polish my nails. Thanks for doing what my mother and my family didn't have time to do.

[@alessandracatalano592]

No joke I started watching you when I was young and then I got my first uv lamp and gels when I was 10 and now 3 years later I’m doing acrylic thanks to you ❤

[@NailCareerEducation]

Wow! Impressive

[@K8a21]

This was the best thing to watch! I’m pregnant and my Ob said no more nail salon for now so I’ve been painting them at home and this helps so much I’ve actually gotten better and rarely paint my skin on my dominant hand now lol

[@doeeyedfaun4020]

Why can’t you go to a nail salon!? We are gonna get to a point where we can’t leave the house while pregnant. Lol

[@K8a21]

@@doeeyedfaun4020 I have no idea all of my friends who are pregnant as well have different ob’s and they just said wait until your second trimester to do your nails and highlight your hair. Mine straight up was like nope not at all on both of those things lol

[@thebackwardsafrican]

I work with gel and it sort of self levels, but I have learned through you that with nail polish, a second coat really makes a difference. I have tried this technique out and it is so good. Thank you, being versatile is important, and I am just learning polish for little kid parties with manis and pedis. ❤♥

[@debbiehansen8804]

OMG! I was terrible! I watched this twice, and you changed everything! This is perfect and I've gone from dreading polishing my nails to buying a Christmas red! They look so pretty...wish you could see!!

[@lamumba6200]

Love how you have a beginner like myself try out the technique. I'm still practicing, but my nail game has definitely improved from 10% to 75% from this one video. Thank you for this!

[@AbelardoGzz]

THIS IS GORG. The innocence and guidance is just wholesome content!

[@nailbabiez]

it was making me sooo anxious every time you were like "LEAVE IT" and he kept going back in😭🤣🤣 you're a patient teacher haha

[@Frunze42]

I just watched several videos on how to apply nail polish, and your technique is the easiest to understand and to execute. Thank you!

[@crystalhardin6363]

I like when you bring hubby/cameraman into the nail stuff!! You guys are adorable!!

[@michellebramble7678]

Hello Suze and Camera Man!🤗 That is so helpful I struggle 😩 with nail polish 💅 but gel is so much easier. It's good to see someone that doesn't do nails doing nails. Thank you for sharing this God bless. 💖💖💖🤗

[@lesliepaola6530]

My fav Susie 💖 It’s always so relaxing and calming watching you 💕

[@angelashelton6337]

You’re one of the best teachers!! 🙏🏼 I love all your vids 🙏🏼💅 I had all of my nail products and even all my clear and neon colors of acrylics, clear nail tips, clear sticky jelly stampers, metal design nail plates for stamping everything you name it and all my nail tools, mail gemstones, color foils, beautiful ice blue gemstones, all of my collections of new nail polishes everything. Even my new dummy hands to practice and create new nail designs….. all my liquid solutions, acrylic powders, glues, brushes and it’s all gone. I struggled so hard to get it all built up for a bit over two years after we lost my children’s dad. It was hard. Then one day my three children and I go out to do shopping and come back all of my several boxes with all of my mail stuff and my children’s new school clothes and shoe were all stolen. I’m still extremely sad as the ones who did it were never caught. The schools helped us get new clothes and shoes for my children thank God. But my nail stuff was never recovered. It’s heartbreaking to know that there are people that never care enough to know a person’s hardships of sadness and struggles and then they take all you worked hard for. I was building up my nail supplies because I was going to do this nail tech training with a friend who told me about the program. But now, I can’t. But I do love watching your vids as you help me learn how to properly. I love making beautiful art with nails. Ever since my mom put little cool nail stickers on my fingers the day before my first day of school , kindergarten. I had instant girly friends that actually stayed friends to this day. We keep in touch when we can. My mom inspired me that day. My decals were little ice creams, popsicles, swirling lollipops, soda pop, hearts. I had only the clear polis and the decals on. To this day I tried finding them and no luck. My mom still loves nail decals. 🤍💕Thank you and God Bless all🙏🏼

[@speakno8547]

Wow!😮 I'm sorry to hear your story😔 I hope you've decided to do the coure anyway?! If it's something you love, you'll build it all up again & a loyal clientele you should collect from practice?! My mum was never girlie girl with me but when I was in my teens I found nail polish & experimented! Like life, my nails have had their ups & downs🙃 been brittle, soft, long, short, polished & unpolished😊 I'm stil learning & love it💗😎 I wish you all the best in your nail journey & in life💟✌

[@ravenblackwing7888]

I'm AMAB (assigned male at birth) and never learned how to paint my nails. As an adult, I'm finally taking my appearance into my own hands. I'm getting better slowly. Thank you so much for this. I love your whole vibe. You're really fun and you addressed all of my concerns in one video Thank you so much for this

[@nellou5527]

I just started nail school and I feel like cameraman everyday! Love you Suzie!!

[@Caitkn]

I’ve been a nail tech for two years and I still always watch these videos and always learn something new !!

This video is so cute :) I love how kind you are when you’re correcting!

[@lyndaring6472]

I'm a grandmother amd I have daughter in laws and little girls .so I bought a beginners kid to do nails amd bond with them . This is a great video to learn the basic I am 50 and properly learning how to apply polish ...wow ..I never knew ..thank you 😊

[@houseofcreativity1]

Great Job Cameraman!!!! For your first time and a crash course on polishing nails you did an Awesome job!!!!!

[@nicholastaofitau4857]

THANK YOU! Because of this video, doing my nails is much better. They dry MUCH faster and it’s much cleaner (than usual). 🙏🏾

[@jmg7467]

Brilliant! Best tutorial ever, and I’ve been looking for what seems like forever for a really good one. This is a great one.

[@aerialnight6907]

I clicked on the thumbnail because I thought your face looked kind and patient. My first instincts were proved true as you not only demonstrated as professional the technique you wanted to teach us, but you also had a novice demonstrate and show the dos and donts. Great job cameraman! And thank you for this video. New subscriber 🎉

[@mariashein6752]

Thank you so much for this video!!! I think majority of us, regular non-pro polish users, needed it so much !!

[@drariannamedici]

Thank you for all your advice Mrs Suzie and way to go Mr Camera Man. Practice Suzie says.

[@СашиныРазговорчики]

Guys, you are so sweet!!! I have learned more from your kind and loving interaction than from the lesson itself (not that the lesson is useless, it's just me being more skilled in manicure than in interpersonal relationships). The hack with the polish remover and a clean fine synthetic brush is brilliant though! I had never seen it before! Another hack is to apply some Elmer's glue around the nail before the polish, paint the nail, then peel off the glue. It will work just like painters' or artistic tape.

[@julieoelker1865]

I have somewhat of an unusual nail shape with long nail beds and an incredibly sharp c curve, especially on my pinky. I actually call it the cat claw. I have trouble getting enough polish on the sides, so this demo has really helped. Thanks Susie and Cameraman!

[@powderpuffgirl77]

I just love you guys soooooo much!😂This was so fun to watch. Suzie, you're such a patient and sweet teacher and I love how Cameraman was insistent on getting It done himself on the second go round and cleanup. Thank you both. I really enjoyed this video😀Good job Cameraman! Keep up the old work.

[@BrilahM]

the fact that I am practicing how to polish properly and I'm using the same color, you are using, thank you!

[@MzClementine]

2003 December 2nd. I am due in to have a cesarean on the 5th. I asked my husband would you please paint my toes. He's like, sure I can do this. Having my surgery. Some of the nurses chuckle. Did your husband paint your toenails? Yes. I'm giggling. He tried to clean them up but he turned my toes pink. So I had pink toes with red toenails. Yes indeed. Of course they put on my comfy socks for me and they said we'll just cover those up for you. 🤣

[@NailCareerEducation]

Oh my god!!!! Adorable! Thank you for this - made my day

[@Hihello_whatareyoudoinghere]

Thank you for making this, I got my first bottle of polish + top coat and messed up horribly first time (got polish all over my hands) but then this popped into my recommendations and gave me my confidence back, cause I saw, mistakes like I was making being made, and it didn't look effortlessly easy, so thank you and camera man

[@jessieduckett6619]

I tried your advice yesterday and it helped me so much! It's the best I've ever done on my own

[@carmonacrafts1972]

Thank you so much for teaching me! Over the weekend I was trying to do my girlfriends and my stepdaughter's nails but it kept coming out lumpy and by watching this video I was pressing way too hard instead I started using the fan technique to apply the polish and it definitely turns out smoother instead of lumpy and clumped up!! ❤👏🏽🥰

[@angelashelton6337]

I just love him lol So adorable to see him painting your nails 💅 🤣 you two are so awesome!! God Bless you both and all your beautiful family 🙏🏼

[@geniej2378]

Go cameraman! You did really well ! My manicures used to be just as messy when I first started doing them!

[@quebecoise61]

I love the video! like you say much fun to watch. susie its adorable to see how he is trying to focus so much😘

[@lotusflower3613]

Susie, do you think you could do a video on how to shape already professionally done acrilic nails to the shape of your short nails. I love getting my nails done, but when I have a ton of typing for school your length is more ideal. Thanks! I just love your soothing videos and you are an excellent teacher 😊

[@queenbeemo42]

She did one during the Covid lockdowns on how to manage your nails while they grow out and your salon is closed. There was a lot of reshaping and taking down for that one and it might help even though yours aren’t technically outgrown.

[@TheWitchesList]

I never had someone teach me how to do the girly stuff, like makeup or nail and skin care. Now that im on youtube, im so self conscious about my skin and nails. I never thought id be so thankful for a youtube video about nail polish, but im grateful that this channel exists.

[@littlemetime7972]

Love watching you work . OPI is brilliant regular nail polish.

[@OliviaLovesPugs]

This was pretty interesting. I swear that whenever I try to paint my nails I end up with more polish on my skin than my nails! I’ve been getting acrylics at a salon lately, but if I go bare nails again I’ll have to try these tips and paint my nails. Very helpful!

[@emeraldkei]

This is soo amazingly endearing and educational to look at. We can see from small things that he does pay attention to what she does when he is behind the camera. Job well done Sir Camera Guy :)

[@Kiisu101]

This is a gift of a video 💅 ty!

[@megangallagher2235]

Thank you for you’re continuous videos on teaching me how to do nails! Really want to become a cosmologist !!!

How does cosmology have anything to do with nails? I guess if you wanna look good for the job that makes sense

[@Newtonheimer]

Omg!!! Y’all are the cutest couple, ever!!! I just love y’all so much! Good job, Cameraman! You’re a brave man!!!

I’m sharing you with my brother who wants to learn more! I love your channel!

[@launastewart3437]

I LOVE the inclusion of “Cameraman”!! Your delivery is great and your calm confidence really comes though. Then, adding the touch of a novice trying it out (not to mention - how cool is it that a masculine man is willing to try this out!?!) is a truly delightful combo!!

[@brittanyottinger3088]

I just started learning how to do nails. And your videos are the best, seriously. They help me so much! Its like having my own teacher with me!

[@yasmin2520]

I really love theses videos with camera man🥰I wish I could convince my husband to try this, although he tried to polish my toenails when I was pregnant and he did a real mess!

[@FamilySmith]

I would have LOVED this video many years ago when I was 4, learning how to put polish on my nails! :P Still, better late than never! This is excellent advice! And you are so lovely and patient with your student! :D Beautifully done!

[@rajifonte6703]

Wow this is the first channel of professional that used their head and showed a newbie doing it so we can learn from their mistakes and listen to their questions. Wow i hope there’s more camera man videos!!

Cameraman is so cute attempting and learning all these different nail products\techniques 😊😄 there my favorite videos to watch. Your such a good teacher.

[@marieburrer9526]

I'm gonna be honest this I didn't really need for the technique as much as for the mental exercise of just watching the mess ups and trying to not get stressed out because of my perfectionism 😅 love your way of teaching ❣️❣️

I’ve been a professional nail technician for 15 years….I am a “shaker” with my polish too! LOL I’ve shaken for years….. never had an issue either! Although I’m wondering if polish quality makes the difference… I mainly only use OPI and I love hearing those beads go to work!! Thanks for your videos

[@heathernks8]

This made me laugh so hard-when he kept painting over the nail repeatedly-oml it was so cute!😂 By the end, I was talking to my screen & giving him instructions on when to stop in unison😁 This was so educational, THANK YOU!

[@corylcreates]

Love seeing cameraman learning! The second round, his technique seemed much better, but the product was on the top side of the brush instead of the underside when he removed half, and that let the product slide off the top.

Can I mix mica pigments with normal nailpolish ? I need to get more change in my nails 💅
