🛑STOP DAMAGING Your Natural Nails! TRY My Proven Technique

[@MyHealthyPlate_recipes]

I already asked this but please do a video on adhesive nail tabs vs nail glue for press on nails 🙏 I’m sure there are many people wanting to know this too.

[@helplessheroine2641]

I've managed to keep nails on with tabs for like 2 weeks and they're way easier to remove than glue (easier to reuse a set of pretty press ons). HOWEVER, if you keep them on for a long time they easily trap moisture from when you're washing your hands etc. After removal my nails felt soft and weak and needed a day or two to recover

[@TikiHi77]

That's great information. Yes, would like a video on this too.

[@sonalidash4280]

Me too

[@C1nderfire]

I tried the tabs and they don’t work for me. They are too thick or something. I get like an hour wear and if I’m super careful maybe 4 hours lol. I use glue and can go 3 weeks to a month. As it grown I polish with clear and buff it

[@Cim-24]

I've been following you for ages and knew about this method. Finally, I got my nail license and am currently working at a salon. My boss made me feel like a fool by doing this step when doing a black and red ombre set. 😢 she said I should never do this, as she's been doing nails for a long time and never needed to do anything like this, as she proceeds to rip off the acrylic nails off clients nails with a nail tip showing me that it dose not stain the natural nails. 🙄

[@tammyg2631]

I’m a diyer did my own acrylics for 25 or more years. I was very bad & pulled them off when I wanted a new set! This was way before KZbin. I know better now & file products down. Always leave a thin layer of builder gel on to protect nails.

Hi, I'm relatively new to "nail at home" world and watching your videos I've learned a lot.

Yes please! I've been blessed with long natural nails but there's very very little vids focusing on them. Some tips on keeping their shapes from getting wonky as they get longer would be amazing.

[@1964drc]

Same! My nails are pretty thin and brittle. I can keep them in ok shape with lotion and oil. Gel, dip, acrylic are all great protectors, but it's the removal process that just anihilates my nails! What do I do AFTER I've soaked off or removed nail polish?

Suzie, this video is just AAAAMAZING!!!!!❤❤

[@mariahjane7969]

I've been doing my own nails for 5 years, and i really enjoyed it, but my first mistake was that I would rip off my nails. I stopped doing that. Then I got an efile, and on my thumb nails, I would file around the cuticle a little obsessively, and i have divets in those nails. Then my other nails I've been letting them grow out, but as they grow out, they are thin and chip as they go. I need help to make a plan to grow back my natural nails but still be able to put on extensions when I want. It's there help for my nails?

[@jelenasusic2914]

Same here, I just started learning with the e-file and even though I secure my pinky I seem to make divets in my nails. I think it boils down to practice.

[@patriciateague8677]

Thanks to you and a few others I watched, I wanted to use an e-file and learned that having a base like builder gel can provide some protection for the natural nail particularly as a novice to e-file use. So far, I have been doing well and feeling more confident. I only do my own nails, so formal training isn't an option. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and experience.

I've been doing this too! Glad to know I am doing the right thing for my natural nails🖤

[@jill9405]

The e file is my favorite part

[@Kazuki933]

I do something similar to what you do but with gel. For a while I didn't do it and learned my lesson when my nails became weak (bending and cracking horribly). Now they are strong and can take a bit more of a 'beating'. My job situation changed recently and now I have to change how I do my nails again. My job makes it so my fingers get smashed every so often so I've had to shorten my long natural nails since they were breaking. I'll grow them out again, just not as long so I wont have as much trouble.

[@kelseahamilton9160]

Great tip! I made that mistake on myself of not protecting my nails and ended up with filing my natural nail too much. So much to learn!

[@benettanorthern9586]

I’ve done that too! Painful!

[@mskazooli]

Can you do the same method with hybrid gel? Even on top of acrylic? Love your videos, they are so informative!❤

[@Chelseysummerx]

Suzie I always thought that acrylic is bad for your natural nails. So much that I even stopped training in acrylic and leaned more into gel sculpture but here you’re applying a thin layer of acrylic to PROTECT your natural nail. This is news to me! Do you then leave that layer on the natural nail as protection for the next treatment or do you soak/file the protective layer off too?

Thank you for this video Suzie - have to say I love your lilac glitter nails on your right hand! Would the same apply if you were using hybrid gel instead of acrylic? Because I'm not a nail tech, I've always shied away from doing acrylic and in recent weeks I've been using the full cover soft gel tips, applied with hybrid gel. When I take them off my natural nails have grown lovely underneath - that's from watching your videos Suzie! I'm going to practice on my practice fingers using hybrid gel and dual forms - again that's from watching you Suzie - hybrid gel seems to suit my nails better than builder gel. Once again, thank you Suzie - when it comes to nail techs you are the greatest of all time! 🐐

[@NailCareerEducation]

WOW! That’s fabulous 💛

[@shyeahright]

Suzie! Have you seen the Jello Jello One Kill product that lets you peel off nail extensions?? I’d be interested to know what you think of it!

[@CherryCaraTt]

It's a grt product but it's not easily available in every country plus it's a tad bit expensive

[@pinkkitten_nails]

I use it because i do nail content on my channel. The key is if your going to want it off right away use a product like unt ready for take off but if you want a weeks worth of wear and be able to just pop them off then it’s an amazing product. I find the easiest way to remove is to lift an edge and put the one kill oil under that lifted area and jet it sit for a couple of minutes then use your orange wood stick and gently lift little by little if it’s still stuck as more oil and wait. If you want a little easier removal you can out a tiny strip of ready for takeoff down the middle of the one kill

[@priscilladominiquepalma112]

Suzie! Can you do ones for gel x extensions? And for glue on nails?

[@NailCareerEducation]

Actually that’s a really good idea

I'm not a nail technician, but have been doing my nails with your products for about 3 years. My question is, can i put a protective layer on then add a tip over it?

[@GiftsbyJoanne]

I’m sorta new to gel polish, started in April & it took me a while to figure out how to protect my real nails & now that I got that figured I got swelling & sensitivity under 2 nails. Think (not sure) it’s from sealing edges & gel polish underneath got on skin & burned under UV. So I researched just now what to do and I saw liquid latex around the skin. My question is can you put a Vasoline under the nail on skin to do the edge or will that burn like you would get a sunburn? If you can’t use Vasoline, can you put that blue painters tape under there? The skin looks fine but is sensitive sorta of a numb puffed up pain, I think gel polish might have gotten in between nail & skin underneath, not sure though!

[@cazevebuckley7615]

Hi there I have an interesting question to ask you. I am thinking of getting nail extensions but I am afraid to get them after my last experience with them.. I don’t know are they safe to get if I have weak nails already … I would like some advice on something affordable and easy that will last for 10 days or longer … would I be better off doing my own nails I’m not a professional nail artist.

Would a machine like that be used on the thick calluses on my feet? No matter how long I soak and file they are still really thick.

What's the best way to help weak natural nails grow stronger? Any polish and/or treatment recommendations?

[@karahmiaopal4402]

The best way I got my natural nails to grow strong was taking EVERYTHING OFF. Kept my hands out of water as much as possible (also have eczema) and moisturize and oil. Concentrate on massaging oils and mousturizers in surrounding skin to nail plate. Use an good lotion/cream several times a day. After 2 weeks you'll have noticeable improvement in strength of nails. Staying out of water as much as possible was key for me. Now my natural nails are so nice after awhile that I don't want to put extensions on 😂. Edit: do a warm oil soak once a week with avocado or jojoba oils also. You can easily search how on KZbin.

[@Gemineyestar]

I totally agree with the above comment, and I'd like to add that Sally Hansen makes some great nail polishes to help with growth and strength .❤

[@mirandaduh8046]

I agree with the above also. Can add that I've noticed when my nutrition is better, my nails look better, so hydrate 🙂. I usually wear at least a protective base coat because it lessens the chance of my nails chipping or breaking.

Ive been putting builder gel on my nails for about 5 years now. If I completely remove it my nails are paper thin. Is that normal? If not what can I do to fix this problem?

Actually it is normal. When product sits on our nails they soften alittle Just like our skin when a bandaid sits on skin - it softens. Once removed the skin hardens up with the air / nails respond the same way Once removed they get harder

[@prettifulmuffin]

Can you please do a video on how to remove gel polish on NATURAL long nails? I have watched your videos about using different nail bits. I have one that has a lot of “teeth” which I have been using in conjunction with softer bits once the layers start getting closer to my natural nail. But it takes me FOREVER to do even one hand even with the use of the bit with a lot of edges and teeth. Also, you always say to go side to side with the bit for faster results but I’m finding it hard to do that when it’s my own nails

[@NailCareerEducation]

Yes, it is actually rather hard to do your natural nails. And I will say it is rather hard to remove gel polish off of natural nails without disturbing the natural nails at least a little bit. One thing I can suggest is you can put a extra coat of your base gel. I have a product called protect and I suggest two layers of that before you put your gel color. And if you want a lot more thickness, you could also paint, a layer of Suzie‘s glass nails it’s a hard gel and it would cause a very thin barrier between your natural nail and the gel polish. This would be really highly advised if you’re going to file them off. You could also consider soaking them off and acetone. You could file the majority off and then soak the rest, but just remember if you’re going to soak so as opposed to scraping off the last little bit

[@prettifulmuffin]
