Suzie's Secrets to Flawless Ombre Fade Nails

[@daniellemartin1730]

Suzie is over here reading my mind and posting exactly what I was hoping to do with my nails today!

[@NailCareerEducation]

Awesome! Love that when that happens

[@cynthiahazebroek4281]

That’s exactly my thoughts. I went to do my nails in an ombré. The best tutorial at the right time.

Suzie is a fantastic educator, can't argue with that!🤗 But I also want to highlight the cameraman, because I think he doesn't get that much cred that he should have 😊. He is extremely competent in he's skills, which I would like him to know that it's much appreciated. The quality of the photo is phenomenal! The lighting, angles and the sharpness is top notch. And I fully enjoy the editing too. Like as the timing on the text is spot on to what Suzie says and that everything she explains is followed up with further explanation on screen. Love everything, it makes it SO complete! I wish you a Happy new year and a wonderful 2025! Love from the north of Sweden 💙💛💙

[@CLynn-i2y]

Yessss I absolutely love watching suzies videos. Cameraman does an amazing job...

[@NailCareerEducation]

He DOES! Very talented guy 🩵

[@teresawheeler72]

Waiting for the EZ Gel kit to arrive! I've been using a runny type of gel, and have done well enough that everyone thinks i went to a salon, not only by extending my length, but also my nail art. Cant Thank you enough Suzie, your videos are so informative, and love your attitude! I'm still a novice, but you give me confidence in doing my own nails!

[@kalishajnz]

I always file my ombre's. I know most don't, but I find that it makes the blend even more seamless, plus I eliminate the extra step of having to encapsulate. This turned out beautifully!! 💜

[@heatherszmyt1911]

Just ordered some EZ gel to do my own nails! It is so surreal buying your products when i have been watching your videos before you had your own brand! Love your videos ❤️❤️

[@NailCareerEducation]

Oooh Nice! You’re gonna have FUN 🩵

[@CosmicEngimas]

“I put the white in the stress area, but it is NOT the stress bead. I want to stress that” haha I cannot STRESS enough how much I love Suzie’s sense of humor. ❤

[@NailCareerEducation]

[@Willa.Johnson]

I love your products and just ordered these EZ gels. I’m excited to try them. Thanks for making nails fun! ✨

[@jflo7013]

I remember years ago when you used to say that you don't like gels and are not sure about polygels. Now you are making amazing nails and selling the products. Of course, I know there has been an improvement in that class of products, and yours are amazing. Just thought about that while watching this video. 😊 I enjoy watching and I gave learned so much!

[@NailCareerEducation]

I do stand by that - Acrylic is still the very best but it requires a lot of skill. I do love hard gel, it’s a close second- I’ve worked with it for over 20 years These Hybrid Gels are excellent for learning which I included in my Brand because I am an educator 🩵

[@Quitey73]

Excellent tip about doing one nail at a time from start to finish.

[@nailsofinterest]

I have to say you're looking so beautiful!!!! It's definitely a timeless style!! Hey Cameraman! We appreciate you too!! NOI💜💖💜

[@marymercado4330]

Suzie I enjoy watching your videos, let me just say that I learned how to do nails thanks to you! ❤️

[@glennaballek5503]

Hi Suzie, thank you for the great tips and tricks! I’m excited to receive my products and get started!

[@kellscat]

I would like to wish all at NCE and especially the incredibly talented Suzie a safe and happy 2025, cheers to all x 🌼😁

[@m.v.7906]

I wish I can get your products in Germany! Love your videos❤

[@melme33]

Youre so good at all the things! I love this ombre look and want to try asap now! 😂

[@Sarnia_Cherie]

I’ve done these a few times, all thanks to you! I watch your videos and that song “absolutely flawless” always comes to mind 😂. I watched a short of some French tips and just the tip was metallic white/pale silver cat eye. They were gorgeous!! I’d love to see you create that with hybrid and gel polish (so I can copy!) 🙏🏽 ❤

[@EllieJGold]

Happy new year ❤

[@reneestarlight729]

Very pretty ❤ Happy New Year 🎉

[@colleenwilson2327]

You make it look so easy…if only!! 😂😂 Maybe I’ll make that one of the things I really work on in 2025! 😉 I’m so intimidated by poly gels and acrylic-forming a nail seems absolutely daunting, but thank you for explaining and showing step by step! ❤️

[@NailCareerEducation]

Just try it - you might like it. Keep in mind my first sets were terrible

[@stellarjay3320]

Might be an obvious answer but can you still apply nail polish or gel polish to the ombre nails? Will removing the polish compromise the ombre design?

[@julesart_png]

yes you can apply either on top of these :3 and you can file the polish back down to the polygel base as well when you want to change it up

[@stellarjay3320]

@@julesart_png Awesome thank you for the response! Excited to get my Suzie kit in the mail soon!

[@julesart_png]

[@Katsnailsnailvideos]

*Do I need an ombre brush, or can I use a normal brush? I'm starting to do nails again soon and haven't done it in years. But it looks like an ombre brush, or are you using both? Also, what do you think about polygel? ❤ I hope you had a nice Christmas and get to have a happy new year. My New Year's goal is to go to school to become a nail designer/technician. You inspired me to begin it all again. ❤*

[@NailCareerEducation]

No, an Ombre brush is designed for Gel Polish. It doesn’t have the strength needed to shape- you need a Hybrid Gel brush like in my video

[@Katsnailsnailvideos]

*Okay, I see. Thank you so much for answering.* @NailCareerEducation

[@Danielle-l9o1f]

Hello Susie, I was just wondering if I am able to use a hard gel to cap this instead of the hybrid gel? Also thank you for so many tips and tricks with all your products I love them all. Also thank you for all your( and cameraman) hard work in helping teach all your beautiful work.

[@NailCareerEducation]

You could - but I think it’s better to use the hard gel first - gel is much harder and hybrid is softer. Best to have the hard gel as a foundation HOWEVER- if you did the hybrid first I would do it thin then add the hard gel as your structure layer so much thicker -

[@Danielle-l9o1f]

@ thank you very much for responding I am definitely going to try it tonight on myself of course I have your products so I can’t go wrong. You are a great teacher. Thank you again. 💕😊

[@nataliehoye9437]

What type of gel are you using? I've just started using polygel and it's going to take me some time getting used to applying it lol but i love it!

[@karendonoher-rager7635]

Ombre is my favorite nail. I sure wish I was as good as you. 😊❤. Do you store your hybrid gel brush any special way, or do you just clean it with alcohol and put the cap on.

[@NailCareerEducation]

Yes I do remove the access but I don’t necessarily use alcohol to remove it all. But that is why I use a cap. The gel actually conditions the bristles so keeping it in there it’s not a problem.

[@karendonoher-rager7635]

@NailCareerEducation thank you. My brush was getting frayed, for lack of a better word. I clean it with alcohol and cap it. So I should just wipe it and cap it?

[@psychcjs]

⁠@@karendonoher-rager7635that’s what I do with my gel brushes. Learned that here when she started gels nails. I’ve had some of my brushes for years keeping them that way. The gel won’t cure if protected from light and too much cleaning will dry them out.

[@Smallworld2024]

So beatiful❤

[@VGrandy]

You explain things so well, I’ve done this with acrylic ( acrylic gal here) but seeing it done with gel is amazing and makes me want to dabble in gel as well 😂

[@NailCareerEducation]

I’ve done it with Acrylic for years. I love it - the result is beautiful. And as you can see gorgeous with Hybrid Gel

[@kelseahamilton9160]

Great explanation. Can you do one with acrylic? I really struggle with acrylic fades. Your hand files are the best I’ve found. Unfortunately my NCE efile is completely dead now 😞

[@NailCareerEducation]

Oooh YES! Acrylic fades are my favourite to do. I agree my hand files are exceptional. Shot us our an email with details about yr efile

[@kelseahamilton9160]

@@NailCareerEducationI have but unfortunately I was told it’s too old. I had thought it would last years and years as it’s just used by me but not the case.

[@natalieholm7055]

Thanks for the help. Does the bridge go by another name I'm in south Africa. And wishing you a happy new year

[@daresaryan8229]

I'm wondering too 😅

[@Corinat774]

It sounds like Tack product by Light Elegance

[@emilykathyrn2699]

I’m pretty sure the bridge is just an acid-free primer? I’m assuming between filing and applying the bridge she wipes the nail with some alcohol to dehydrate/clean any debris off (unless her version of primer aka the bridge is a dehydrator and primer in one) and just doesn’t show it the wiping with alcohol and a lint-free wipe

[@NailCareerEducation]

Chemically it’s exactly the same

[@lizervin04]

Has the EZ gel been reformulated? Mine I ordered a few years ago never cured through.

[@MysticChick]

Excellent as usual. What company create your own name brand.

[@suewebster7397]

I’m an old nail tech to and we used to call this the American manicure

[@NailCareerEducation]

Oh I think i remember reading that years ago

[@jacolagreene9870]

Yes, American manicures were my go-to when I was in the military 💕

[@mary-janem1535]

Can't wait to try your products. Is there a difference between using 70% alcohol vs 90% I know that 70% contains more water so 90% evaporates more quickly but I'm sure there are other reasons!

[@NailCareerEducation]

Yes, 70 % alcohol is perfect

[@hazlenorse]

I’m finding myself a little confused in regards to the “bridge”. I use a dehydrator and an acid free primer followed by a base coat. What’s the difference between a “bridge”, a “primer”, and “binder”? I am just starting to use hard gel, instead of gel-x tips.

[@NailCareerEducation]

Acid free primer is an adhesive for Acrylic not Gel. BRIDGE is an adhesive for GEL in particular. Oh and wouldn’t use Base coat after apply a primer/ they won’t be compatible

[@Pringles9206]

Also do you ship to Australia?

[@NailCareerEducation]

Yes we sure do

[@Pringles9206]

@NailCareerEducation he'll yah imma save up for a few things lol 😆 think I'm a bit to trigger happy with the buy button so I'll just wait a little but knowing you ship to australia makes me happy lol.

[@dailypolishme]

💅💅👏👏explained really well. Happy New Year to you 2025

[@NailCareerEducation]

Happy new year!!🩵

[@MR-fx6hf]

Can you please introduce more products in case we can't afford yours? Thanks a million ❤

[@psychcjs]

She has done in the past. I would say scroll back in her archives or search for the topic you’re looking for. She has several brands, and had many guests use their brands on her channel, before debuting her own. Just gotta look a bit.

[@natalieholm7055]

How long do we cure for

[@NailCareerEducation]

My EZ Gel - 60 seconds

[@spoiledrotten417]

Hi Suzi, are your gel products 100% gel ?

[@NailCareerEducation]

The Gel products are but my acrylics are acrylic

[@spoiledrotten417]

@ kudos on your application. So admirable. SKILLS!

[@katrinamcfalls67311]

Is Hybrid gel the same thing as polygel?

[@NailCareerEducation]

Yes Polygel is a brand. Hybrid gel is the type of product. My Hydrid gel is called EZ GEL

[@katrinamcfalls67311]

Ahhh. Thanks. That's cool info!​@NailCareerEducation
