Mastering Coffin Nails Shape With Suzie's Technique

[@Aryck1971]

For those of us that are ‘Visual Learners’ this video hits the spot! Thanks Suzie!

[@NailCareerEducation]

Thats me for sure- im so visual

[@Jess-jl7fk]

Yes!! So helpful! I would love to see tips and tricks for sculpting a stiletto from other shapes like this

[@1amazingj]

Thank Suzie, this is what I needed 👍😁

[@dezinechic]

was gonna say great visual aids!!!!!

[@jujonowitz94]

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 ;)

[@jujonowitz94]

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.

[@xOutsiderSuckz]

WE NEED THIS

[@TaraConti]

Great idea! I've worn and done acrylics since 93/94 . I would Love to see something like this!

[@SuddenTwo7]

Nice!

[@pammymusic4ever]

Great idea!

[@thepopes4466]

I NEEDED a video example like this where the demonstration is on oneself. THANK YOU!!!

[@MsShannaK]

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 :) 👑

[@myranda0059]

That is a cheap school, is that only for nails?

[@MsShannaK]

@@myranda0059 just manicure and acrylics

[@myranda0059]

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.

[@Sintanity]

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)!!!

[@NailCareerEducation]

Exactly - eh😊

[@Isolabella333]

I was making the exact same mistake. This video explains everything perfectly. Thank you so much posting this.

[@Lovelynailloft]

This was EXACTLY what I’ve been needing!! I’m a visual learner and this is absolutely wonderful!!! Thanks SO MUCH!

[@kadejamccutchin778]

I love how you are so detailed when you are teaching us I just love you ❤️

[@leannenelson4837]

You literally can't be beaten, such clear explanations of the fundamentals and then bam other videos with amazing designs too. Thankyou ♥️

[@sabinazinic7510]

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!

[@ktea7297]

Muffin analogy is super helpful but the only problem is now I really want to bake a batch of muffins!

[@leonorpedroso9093]

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 KZbin EVER!!!

[@taylorholloway__]

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!!!

[@91frankthetank]

I ALWAYS draw on my nails when shaping almond or coffin. I find almond especially hard without drawing it first. Thank you Suzie!!

[@DarlingNikki2]

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.

[@91frankthetank]

@@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.

[@bluebunni4065]

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

[@NailCareerEducation]

Thats is fantastic. When i was your age i loved the beauty industry - as little girl about 5 i would polish my grammas nails

[@TaraConti]

@@NailCareerEducation ❤🙏🏼 I miss that! It was always a shade of red!

[@tysonking5202]

I have coffin nails my nail tech does such a great job.

[@MakeupMobster]

Omg I was so wanting this video and magically it appeared.

[@kathykov1]

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💜

[@Krystal1717]

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!!

[@fran_ward]

It’s videos like this that remind me why I need you in my life. Thank you Suzie

[@neuroflexx1779]

The way you had a different style to aim the same coffin shape helps so much. Thank you for this tutorial!! ❤

[@eileahc]

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!!!!

[@sarahb7254]

Man, Suzie's nail beds are so pretty.

[@babalee9040]

Thanks soo much Suzie ...your lessons here have been help me me a lot in supporting my wife and kids back here in Africa

[@NailCareerEducation]

Oh wow! That makes me happy 😃 ❤️❤️❤️

[@lishfranco4426]

Thanks for this video suzie & camera man !! Great tutorial as always 🙋🏽‍♀️👍🏽

[@sandyrice3559]

Excellent visuals, Suzie! And I literally laughed out loud at your muffin top analogy 😂

[@karenmcdoanld8805]

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!

[@nancysworld4178]

I love how you explain things. They become so clear. Thank you for helping me understand how to achieve the perfect coffin shaped nail!

[@ellieisbusy]

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 ❤

[@MommyExpectations]

Thanks! This video helped me so much!

[@followerofjesus5578]

Love how you teach over KZbin! Your videos have helped me create the perfect nail for myself! Just need my nail tech course and I can have clients.

[@duiknou]

Finally..... someone to explain everything about making a coffin nail! Now I can make them all match! Thank you!!

[@anthonyromo5528]

This video was so informative, I love the lack of graphics. Really made me feel like I was in a master class and was so easy to focus!

[@kandices]

Susie why did I never think to do it this way 😫 thank you so much!!!! This exactly has been my biggest struggle ! Yay 🥰

[@jjjzz3]

omg this helped me so much thank you, Suzie

[@creeksidesalon]

I love your duster Suzie !!!

[@queenbeemo42]

You are such a gifted instructor 🌺

[@cindyscogin-harigel6989]

You are the best at really showing how to do things. Thanks so much!

[@dollfacecrys]

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!

[@ciel7339]

I followed your advice and wow! Thank you! Thank you! You don't know how long I've been messing up on this.

[@megansmith1382]

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 🙌 👏 👌 👍 😀 😄 🙌

[@laurenlatta495]

coffin and square are my favorite so this is very helpful

[@lisagood1272]

I always learn from you ! Thank you Suzie!

[@lucydewar6729]

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.

[@aj340015]

The muffin top analogy helped me a lot, planning on doing my nails tomorrow thank you!

[@kelseahamilton9160]

This was super helpful. Thanks Suzie!

Suzie, youre awesome!!!! kisses from Rio, Brazil!!

[@nadlavoie7868]

I followed your technique and finally was able to have my natural nail in coffin shape !!! Thank you very much xxx

[@jmrgunners]

Lines and muffin tops! It all makes so much sense now. Can’t wait to try it. Thank you so much!

[@sharonlynnnaraine5366]

This helps so much!! Thanks Suzie!!! ❤ Keep making these videos 😊

[@AN-tp4rs]

Thank you Ms. Suzie! I was never able to get rid of the “muffin top” look and now I’m excited to do my next coffin set!!

[@illonod1426]

Thank you Suzie! I love that you actually drew them! Will definitely try it like that for more accuracy until I get the hang of it! I have natural nails so some these tips help a lot other than the type of file! I've always tried to do a coffin/tapered square when my nails are shorter because a plain square always looked flaring up to me but whenever I tried it, I always take off one end more than the other and I didn't know what I was doing wrong haha. This was suuper helpful.

[@cristinadelrosario8165]

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! 🤗

Thank your lesson,Love!

[@NorseButterfly]

I just recieved my new lamp the other day! After watching your video about lamps and gel compatibility, I realized that the majority of my gel polishes and all my poly gels are Madam Glam, so I finally ordered a lamp from them. While I was waiting on it to arrive, my new manicure started to come apart! The poly gel/builder gel lifted from my natural nails, which still has a very thin layer of old poly gel on them. I had just finished building my nails 4 days prior to them lifting. I haven't rebuilt my nails yet, but I have removed all the lifted product, and shortened my nails as they are very brittle(which is why I keep either poly gel or builder gel on them). I'll use the new lamp with clear poly gel this weekend, and build new nails now that my natural nails are short, AND I have a proper lamp to use with the product.

[@amandaroberts5726]

Omg thank you so much! I've sifted through countless KZbin 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!!

[@junemoonz]

I NEEDED THIS VIDEO SO BADLY ! thanks Susie ♥️✨♥️

[@nameuneeded579]

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!!

omg THANK YOU for this!! i've started doing my own poly gels and have always wondered what i'm doing wrong when i attempt coffins. this explained exactly what i've been doing wrong! so excited to implement this next time!

[@lorimcmack3521]

So what is a ballerina shape by comparison to a coffin please? Loved the colour you used too - what a stunning blue.

[@mckenziecolette4438]

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.
