Can you do a video on Refilling acrylic nails with large gaps that you’ve removed due to lifts. When I’ve removed large lifts I’m finding it hard to refill the nails evenly. Can you also show us how to remove small lifts with the drill bit. Thanks 🙏🥰

[@ferrrsureexx3]

Great question!! I’m curious too

[@kushiellee]

She's done this before, probably over a dozen times, even in the last few yrs since the pandemic. Discussing fills is probably one of the most common topics that comes up bc 1 thing she stresses is that often nail sets are removed & reapplied simply bc people aren't well trained or skilled in doing a proper fill. I know I've heard her answer the Q several times that nails never need to be removed /replaced as long as long as all the lifts are removed & filled correctly.

[@diva9920]

I think it would be almost the same. Don’t take it all off, prep natural nail well, fill and blend, file, buff and top coat!

[@lauraArual]

Suzie you have inspired me to do my own nails. They’re not perfect but every time I do them they get better and I’ve learned so much watching you. I’d love to see you do a Temu haul on nail products.

[@Shylade]

I’m glad it’s not just me who had nails that were all over the place. I’m always trying new stuff and fake fingers aren’t great.

[@rainesonne1320]

I’ve been watching you for a very long time! I think you’re awesome! I love the fact that you use forms to do your nails! I used to have a nail tech that used forms, but now I can only find people that use tips! I do not like the look of the tips! I’m not sure how to find someone that uses forms! Do you have any ideas Suzie? Other than calling salons to find out!

Hi Susie! Is this considered a fill when using nail forms? I use nail tips and I think I would consider this a removal and new set. What are your thoughts?

[@jocelynnegarcia9821]

I love you soo much Susie your videos make me feel calm and satisfied also I have a question love ❤ how can I fix po red that is called acrylic but doesn’t react like acrylic and just clumped up with monomer like if it’s just color ???

[@61Rebekah]

Can I just say you look really pretty in that color. Peach, coral, hard to tell from the computer screen, but from my seat it looks like peach. Good color for you. I also must say that I have been binge watching while on vacation. Im so confused about jelly nails, Gel nails, gel builder, etc. I just want to learn to do my own nails, and the terms have me so confused. I appreciate the education that you give. I have learned so very much. have been trying to take notes, but I see one video from 4 years ago, and then see another one from 2 years ago. I guess I should have started watching them in some sort of order. However, Im not a huge tech person, and my knowledge there is pathetic. But Im about to retire, and I still want my nails to look good. But, retiring brings less money, so I will have to be on a good budget, but don't want to give up those things that make me feel good, my nails. I just have to find a less expensive alternate, me. Again, thank you for all that you give via this channel.

[@Itsme23179]

Would you mind doing a video about greenies, all the causes, is it the client or the tech, how to avoid and how to not feel awful when it happens. It happened to me a while back and I haven’t done nails since. I have a lot at different things to sanitise and sterilise the reusable bits and pieces. Also, for the whole, do you prefer and recommend metal or ceramic nail drill bits?

[@katiepare9685]

Honest question: if you're client has the same nails and end goal, would you have billed as a fill? I was hoping this video would teach more about a regular fill, as in, what's the least we should remove? I'm sure you have other great videos on this bc I think I saw some already, but I think the title is mis- labeled compared to your content. I still appreciate how you clarified the necessity varying based on the end goal, though , it makes sense to me. Thank you, Suzie😊

[@kaleemasilon8919]

Hi Suzie! I have a question- if you do a gel fill, can you also change the color of your nail? Or do you have to do the same color every time? Thank you so much for your videos! 😊

[@teresagill8501]

I am thinking about buying either your builder gel kit or the ez gel kit. I have had acrylic for years done by a nail tech but she isn’t doing it anymore so most of our techs in my area are not doing acrylics anymore so I may try to do my own. I have been watching your videos and you are amazing at explaining. Which do you recommend? I do acrylic on my daughter and do ok but don’t think I can do it on myself. Thank you.

[@NailCareerEducation]

Well if you can actually do Acrylic on yr daughter you may like the EZ GEL KIT - it feels much like acrylic. Start there. Once you feel good try Gel one day

[@teresagill8501]

@@NailCareerEducation ok thank you. Can you use regular polish with this and should I get tips for it or try forms. I have never used forms, but after watching your video on the forms I may like them. Thank you again for your help!

[@PradeepKumar-ub4dy]

You would remove hard gel exactly the same in this video

[@paulaner7919]

What top coat do you put and where? Before the base coat or after?

[@lotusflower3613]

Susie how long did that take you? I feel like that takes me a whole day to do that

[@Sarappreciates]

Is it harder to clip acrylic nails? I use gel, so I just snip the length to save time. But I never used acrylic, so that may be harder to cut than I realize. My e-file is the cheapest I could find when I was just starting this as a hobby, but now I think I may need a better one. My cheap one won't let me go back and forth across the nail like Suzie does it. It wants me to stop and flip it in reverse to go backwards.

[@NailCareerEducation]

Ya it’s harder for the cheaper units to do that. Yes I don’t advice clipping Acrylic cause it can verticality split - if you aren’t removing entire nail you don’t want that

[@natflor1152]

Where can I get supplies like the ones you have?

[@brokepoetess]

Hi! I have an unrelated question, and I didn't know where to ask. I have a labor intensive job. Use my hands a lot. Even with work gloves, I constantly hurt myself from hitting my nails. My nails aren't extremely long but not short either. I was avoiding cutting them very short but I guess I have no choice. 😪 What shape in your opinion is most feminine and slimming when you can only have short length? Thank you 🙏❤️

[@Mona_S]

Hi, I know I'm not Suzie but I think almond would be the best option. Oval and square wouldn't have the slimming effect you want, stiletto I don't think is very practical or if it works for short nails and coffin would look too square on short nails. You can look for pictures of all styles on short nails to get an idea.

[@brokepoetess]

@Mona that's what I was thinking. Thanks. I'm horrible at shaping. When doing long nails, it's easier. I just use half cover tips in the shape I want. But there aren't many short half cover tip options available. Which means I have to cut and shape myself and I'm so bad at it. Lol

[@Mona_S]

@@brokepoetess I feel you. I'm lucky I only like one shape on myself and they naturally grow like that. If I had to shape them myself it would look horror 😆 Glad I could help.

[@PhoenyxRainebow]

I have a question about acrylic. The last time I went to go get my nails done, my tech kept her acrylic under her UV light (with the light on). Is this a preference or does it help the acrylic in any way?

[@NailCareerEducation]

Either you actually had some type of Gel applied ( not acrylic) or they THINK Acrylic needs to be cured with a lamp ( it does not). So something isn’t right during this service

[@crystalhardin6363]

It may be the monomer she used with the acrylic. I have seen UV cured monomer. I believe it’s lower odor and gives more time to mold the acrylic on the nail. But it is still used with acrylic powder

[@PhoenyxRainebow]

@@crystalhardin6363 I wasn’t entirely sure because she kept her acrylic powder under the UV and kept turning the light back on in 60 second intervals. I wasn’t sure if it helped the acrylic in any way or if it was just a preference thing.

[@crystalhardin6363]

@@PhoenyxRainebow maybe it was UV cured monomer…maybe she didn’t know what the heck she was doing? 🤣🤣

[@eblake3617]

So how is this different from a "take off" which is one fee, plus a new "overlay" which is a second fee? A "fill" is usually cheaper than just the overlay.

[@NailCareerEducation]

Overlays basically are FILLS. Overlays makes the customer feel like it’s more natural and not a fake nail but it is. I need to make a video about this and how it got started

Hey, maybe someone can tell the name on one video where i could learn how to make my on nails. I want to use dehydrator and primer, i dont know what kind of products to use and base, top coats and what kind of base gel and gel polish i should use?. Im now very lost because i bought some and they are not holding... maybe my products are not working on my nails or something. Thank you very much

When your nails are not sticking it has a lot to do with adhesion and how you prepared the natural nail- I suggest looking for videos ok this topic -start there

[@yoligee9467]

What about if you don’t use forms and used tips instead how would you know? I would have to soak everything off huh 😭

People who use tips and not firms often haven’t developed skills to fill, in which case should soak and start from beginning

Hi Suzie, I've been watching your vids/blogs for like ages now and finally took the plunge to do my own at home because my then tech was moving counties so after nearly 9 months and alot of "Amazon" buying i have really enjoyed it so much so i've enrolled onto a Nail Tech course i'm nearly 54 btw,got a Melody Susie drill around two months back and much prefer the ease of removal,i do Acrygels/hard gel,thank you so much for all your tips and guidance

[@Shylade]

I’m about a month in of Amazon buying and wondering how I ended up with so much stuff?!? It’s only my nails ffs! I’m wondering if you thought it was much harder than it looks? Bc I did. The patience I have for any nail art is zero by the time I got my nails on looking half way presentable lol

[@premeditatio]

@@Shylade oh, I know that life. Sometimes I'll do my nails one night and nail art the next day or so to not feel hurried at the tired end of a session. Heck, if I'm not going anywhere, I've also been known to file & fill on night one, paint on night two, and nail art on night three. That way, I'm breaking up the time investment into more tolerable little chunks. All that said, I love the artistry and precision of it, and there's so much pride in having done my own talons for a fraction of the price, immeasurably more cleanliness, and which last at LEAST twice as long. Happy nail-fabulousing; you got this. xx

[@BeaBeaver]

When you say grab some alcohol do you mean rubbing alcohol??

[@ella_cinder4361]

Another option is to file the lifted parts and the old design, because you can always use a nude gel polish. So.... if you'd only filed off your foild and polish, you could have painted over wuth a nude polish. I almost always encapsulate my designs, so having a clear layer on my natural nail is a must!!

[@andreavidovic3670]

please help, I gave birth 10 months ago, and I haven't had gel on my nails for a couple of months, they are very thin and hurt to the touch, but unfortunately everything comes off, gel, soak off, and when I stick the tips with glue, everything comes off the next day. I've tried both acid and acid-free primers, can you recommend what I should do to get either gel or soak off nail polish to stay longer on my nails, thank you sooooo much❤

[@NailCareerEducation]

Sometimes our hormones are affected before abd after baby, which is totally normal Your nail beds could be more oily than usual and there’s nothing wrong with that - it’s only an issue when you want to put something on them - I’d keep very short and let them grow out completely Everytime you buff you thin and if they come off it can also thin them more - so give them a break let them go once over

Hi Suzie! I m a big fan and follower of yours. Here is a small suggestion that for shortening the nails, don’t trim your nail with e-file. Instead of just cut them with nail trimmer or cutter. Which will save your time as well as there will be less dust. Thank you. Love you ❤🥰💖

[@MeXoof]

When I do that with acrylic, it can sometimes hurt and crack the nail right down the middle if you do it before shaving down the nail.

I don’t like to use the cutters for that - they can split the natural and I don’t want that
