Camera man you never cease to amaze me. You are such a perfectionnist and so on point with your art its impressive. Those example on the side, the nail diagram makes all the difference for me. Suzie and CM thanks for being awesome😘

[@jessielorainne5623]

Suzie! Thank you so much for this video! I've had that "muffin top" issue for a while now and couldn't figure out why it was looking like that. Thanks for explaining it, I'll keep it in mind!

[@danijelabaricic312]

Everything I know about nails I learned from you my dear Susie, I've watched your videos over and over again just to do my own nails at home. I am still having trouble nail forming, not just myself but also my clients and it takes so much of my time but it never turns out just right. I wish you would make a video how to form every single shape and what kind of forms to use, that would be so helpful, you just have a way of explaining things that just sits with me right. Thank you for all the hard work and for every advice, don't ever stop! ❤

[@sarah1484]

I loved square nails in the early 2000s. I moved on to stiletto and coffin, but nothing beats a sharp square nail. Thanks for the tutorial.

[@sugarbabyangel479]

Suzie describes in a way that I clearly understand and it is really helpful that camera man captures exactly what Suzie is doing so that I can see the details. You two are a great team!

[@MrsBungle78]

Yep! Ya gotta look at the nail from every angle! A good light helps too. This video takes me back to all of the times I figured out these exact little tricks myself! It brings a smile to my face☺️

[@jrdale]

I must say that I love that you are doing a refill in a pouch. Less plastic waste, which is such an unfortunate byproduct of so much of the nail industry. I hope to see more eco-friendly releases coming to the market soon. I have seen the seaweed gel in some places, but I wonder how long before that type of product is more widely produced.

[@courtneylynn7317]

Thank you for all you do. I do my own nails now and I get so many compliments. I couldn't do it without you!

[@sna756]

I love square nails! They look so pretty And they look so good on you!

[@Sorchia56]

This is the shape I always ask for and have gotten a handful of times! I would have to go home and fix them because the person was not understanding what I wanted. That was with pictures even. I finally just started doing them myself. You do a brilliant sharp square!

[@annnaam]

I was really struggling with the muffin top and over filing the sides, thank you for this ❤️

[@teresarogers2353]

Thank you. I struggle with shaping my nails. This was very helpful.

[@samanthasamaroo584]

So so beautiful i love square nails ❤

[@dizzinese]

I’m teaching myself the efile and it’s very helpful on that sweet spot. My mail plates are deep in my cuticles so they can get sore with all that filing. I do take a file and under file at the edge to take the sharp points off or they will snag on clothing etc, I find holding the finger straight and the file vertical to the free edge will give a great square!

[@dizzinese]

@@justiceharrison5142 thank you. That was a nice way to start my day! Kindness is free but so underrated and unused. Have a great day!

[@caradooley2836]

[@charlottesometimes6987]

Suzie, I love watching your tutorials. I can't have long nails because of what I do for a living, but watching you create beautiful nails feeds my soul.😊

[@BugnBuddysMom]

THANK YOU!!! Been doing my own nails for only a few weeks, and this explains so perfectly what I needed to know!!! Thank you Susie 🥰

[@mistyjomay6272]

Wow this really did change my square nail game! Thanks Suzie you are the best!!❤

[@brokepoetess]

Omg I was literally looking for something like this. I just did a set this weekend and for the life of me could not get that sharp square. I almost want to redo them now. Lol Can't wait to try everything here. Filing is really difficult even though you make it look easy. I'd love more videos that focus on filing technique. Thank you!! 😘

[@shareebarnes3474]

I love the super square!! Gorgeous nails and I would love to have you do a set on me! Thank you for this video!

[@Kaylaellis1991]

You’re a nail queen. 😍 My issue is trying to keep my shape after polish and top coat. I find it softens them so much when you cap them for longevity. Heeeeeeelp

[@wendyporcayo4306]

Thank you so much this helped me so much I’m practicing how to do my own nails !!💗

[@LilSisOfaMarine]

I’ve filed my natural nails like this for years, but they’re longer than what you showed here. I wish almond was flattering on my hands but super square is my jam! Not to mention they’re much stronger in this shape since I don’t wear any type of enhancements. I love all your filing and shaping tips, thanks Suzie!

[@jacquelinedimattia774]

Look at that perfect C line!!!

[@michellesutton202]

So helpful thank you so much for all you show us.💅🎨✨✨✨✨

[@corylcreates]

I love watching these even though I don't do nails and keep mine short (free edge? it's at the end of my finger/nailbed!) love your knowledge and explanations and demonstrations, Suzie! hello from out east in Ottawa

[@lataundriahunt9325]

Omg. I was struggling with the free edge I could never get it straight but now I can.

[@user-df4mw5ln8v]

[@regidg]

Hi, Susie! I've been watching your videos for a while now, and I really appreciate how informative they are. Thank you so much, for sharing your expertise! I'm a DIY-er (mostly tips+dip, dip with no tips, or silk wraps), and I'm wishing to go back to my natural nails. My problem is that my tips and dip tend to rip off. The silk wraps don't last, either. If I do dip only, it's better, but I still have problems with adhesion. I think I have naturally moisturized and flexible nails. Also, my natural nails tend to take a lot of damage and are not all that strong to begin with. This pulls me back in to doing some sort of overlay, even though I know the potential to continue damaging my nails is there. I saw your video on acrylic nail removal, which was helpful. It made me wonder if maybe doing a dip on short nails and thinning the overlay might support my nails until they grow out. My question is: how can I reinforce my nails while the weak parts grow out? Could you do a video covering the options for going natural after nail weakening has occurred?

[@regidg]

Omigosh, i just noticed my spelling error. > ,< Sorry, Suzie!

[@rogenamarieanderson4522]

Wow! I always learn so much from your videos! That's one of my problems sometimes, to much bulge. I guess I need to get better hand files..

[@sharonhanks4696]

Loved my square nails for years! I've evolved to other shapes in recent years. Thanks for the memories! ❤❤

[@dizzinese]

I was a nail tech when you were and still love square! But it fits the shape of my nail itself. It’s the same width at the cuticle, sides and free edge. So it looks best I think. But they are a bugger with wearing off my corners! The gels are not strong enough compared to acrylic to prevent that wear. I have to say I also perfected the shape but that’s due to having the mail shape I have. So many nail techs back then had much wider nails than they should have because of not filing in that sweet spot! That will narrow that mail right down. Great video! You explained it perfectly!

[@dezinechic]

love these

[@chezamoonangelaiemma497]

I love your videos and how you explain every step. I tried to explain it to my friend and had to refer her to your videos 😂🤣😅 I tried other shapes and my favorite are the slight taper square and square long shape ☺️💕

[@raccooneyes2099]

super sharp square is my fave!! i miss getting my nails done. i'm so afraid to go now 😪

[@monie2514]

First to comment I hope you have a wonderful blessed new week thank you for being one of the best motivators. I would have loved to see you do some beautiful green designs for St Patty's day. Now getting ready to be Easter 😉🐇🤔🥰☘️🌟🍀 can you do some beautiful green and pastel colors, in time for April bringing the spring time.

[@charlesz5607]

Yes! Super square is the ONE AND ONLY! The best kind of sharp! I was very excited (and surprised) to run into this video. I wish more women who wear nails would understand this missing ingredient. Well done.

[@NailCareerEducation]

Glad you found me

[@lovelylia8811]

I have been having the muffin top issue already and for the life of me I could not figure out what I was doing wrong!! this video is super helpful!!

[@krystalfukinmarie757]

Ugh the muffin top! Perfect name for it!!! 😆👏👏

[@bellemieux]

I have always done my natural nails square but I do round the corners a bit just so they aren't as sharp ❤️

[@Miramani]

Great video!

[@Msfitness3]

Fixing muffin top a tech left me with changed my nail game; I do myself now. Also, you are first nail pro Ive seen ok not picking up drill sanding band, but saying its okay to use it both directions. wow.

[@NailCareerEducation]

Been efiling back n forth for 35 years

[@tg7048]

I’m amazed of how well people can file their at home fake nails. I always file uneven or get a dip from filing too long in one place accidentally. I wish I was talented enough. ❤️

[@wechwech695]

I love sharp squares too but shorter 😍

[@nailsdeb]

Still addicted to super square !!

[@thecurldesigner]

I love your videos!!!!!!!!!!

[@bestplayerakarizz7666]

Thank you!! Iv been having muffin top issues and couldn't figure out why or how to fix it ... now I know!! X

[@LP-ct9nk]

Wow keeping the same shape for 28 years! 😱 That’s commitment I got sick of my stilettos after a year, and I’m kind over the squares I’ve had this last month. I blame my add for always wanting a change tho 😂

[@beautifuldreamer8803]

Great video. I am going to be this good! 👍🏾😉

[@minailz09]

👍 Gracias!!

[@cakesKC]

I always thought almond was the best shape until a few months ago. I am really in love with the square shape these days . Thanks for the video

[@rosesvoboda4908]

Kaylee, I totally agree. I have been doing nails for 30 years. I have square myself. I LOVE ALMOND AND BALLERINA shape, I Am SUPER HARD on my nails, and can't do the coffin, I feel they aren't as strong. I NEED MY SIDES! I HOPE SQUARE COMES BACK!

[@cakesKC]

@@rosesvoboda4908 yes I think I noticed that too , square is so durable , thank goodness for the Y2K styles coming back in fashion our square nails might be making a come back

[@reynnageorge6892]

[@KathyMcDowell1]

Thank you

[@maryanellen158]

I'm not really a fan of square nails, I love long almond nails but due to college I have to file my nails really short and the square shape will be the best in this case, great video!!!

[@RaiganGrace]

This helped so much

[@macmclernon9603]

Hi Susie! Your videos are great for teaching... have you got any hints on how to file & shape natural nails

[@NailCareerEducation]

Yes - I certainly do - I’ll do a video / first I gotta find some natural nails out there

[@julias6973]

I looove this shape but could we use the sanding band to take away the muffin top or does it have to be the nail file itself?

[@nettietyson1719]

Hi Suzy. I love your videos, and I’ve learned a lot from them. I actually do your nail designs on my own natural nails. My question is, do you at all do natural nails?

[@dcast6566]

Suzie? Will you do a review on Analytics products, please? I would love to see your thoughts on it. Please!!!?

[@katzwhite5962]

I prefer square nails. I only wear mine square. They look nice on you.

[@denisehopkins100]

Love your channel. It's been so helpful to me as I've just began doing nails. The 1 question I have is where did you purchase your bling hand roll?

[@NailCareerEducation]

Someone gave it to me years ago but since then the company that was making them has discontinued them

[@Keelicious]

What bit are you using for the shaping?

[@fireymom4270]

I love square, but I feel like it doesn't look good on me. Any thoughts as to how I can transition to the square ?

[@bettsshirley666]

New to the world of nails, just wanted to say,, Wow😲 an so brilliantly explained to, please would love to know more about the brushes you use and how do identify their sizes? Thank you and keep up with the good work 👍

[@Purebeachlove]

What would you recommend for ppl that do their nails at home? I naturally have very thin nails. I do my own gel nails but they still bend (which can be painful). I’m thinking of doing dip powder at home. Thoughts?

[@NailCareerEducation]

Depends / if want length then go with Full Cover Tips for the easiest/ in my opinion dip is just for Colour not building

[@Purebeachlove]

@@NailCareerEducation thanks. Do you sell a kit? And do you need a license to buy your products?

[@ienjoyapple]

Love these shapes, would you ever consider doing a flared nail or duck feet nail tutorial? ❤️

[@NailCareerEducation]

No! I don’t like them at all

[@babiblu292]

Great graphics camera man!!

[@wechwech695]

Does the free edge filling the way you did it apply for natural nails too? I don’t know if my apexes are too c shaped or because I pull my skin back when I file (to see the shape better) that it doesn’t come out as a sharp square … 🤔

[@NailCareerEducation]

I would not file a natural nail the same. Be very careful with the sides - once you break the seam of the side wall it weakens the nail. And of course the longer the mail is the weaker it can be. It’s important to know don’t file side to side. File one way one natural nails

[@BeyondTshirts]

LOVE the square nails! I have a question. I was way too aggressive with my e-file and traumatized my nails. So now I have no nails on my nail bed. I've tried just about everything to make my artificials adhere, including full prep with hybrid gel sculpting but everything lifts, like they can't adhere to the nail bed because there is no nail there. I took all of the product off and bought cotton gloves to wear in public because my nails are hideously gross! During the day, I soak them in an aloe/soy conditioning shampoo, and use cuticle oil and CBD oil at night. Is there anything else I can do while my natural nails grow out? Is there any product that will adhere to an "empty" nail bed? I miss my nails! Thanks much!

[@htownandi6263]

I'm a veteran nail tech and my personal opinion is that unfortunately I think you are going to have to wait for them to grow out a bit. Keep conditioning them with the oils. And when using the e-file on yourself, low and slow is good to remember until you are proficient. Good luck.

[@BeyondTshirts]

@@htownandi6263 Yeah, that's what I was thinking too, which is why I bought a package of cotton gloves to wear out in public. LOL Thanks for chiming in!
