The reason they used cornstarch and not flour or sugar: Flour mixes with water and it becomes a paste Sugar dissolves in water Cornstarch absorbs water and thickens. That's why you can use cornstarch to make dry shampoo and not flour, or sugar. :)

[@NailCareerEducation]

+BakaPanda96 well corn starch make Thicken but it certainly doesn’t harden

[@bakapanda9689]

Well, obviously not! As you said, cornstarch is only good for cooking, and there's a reason for that! But it still gave an opaque layer on the nail with the tip, whereas with flour and sugar it would just become a big mess xD Love your videos btw.

[@grammaurai6843]

I wonder how other culinary starches would compare -- like tapioca, potato, or arrowroot.

[@amandagarcia7540]

Good points but most nail polish isn't water based anyway so what you're saying almost has no relevance to this specifically. Small corrections: the property of being able to dissolve a substance in water makes it water soluble, neither cornstarch nor flour are water soluble substances, however you are right that sugar is water soluble. I don't know much of the science behind cornstarch but when mixed with water it becomes a suspension (the particles being suspended throughout the water mixture) and also a non-Newtonian fluid, like true quicksand, which might have given someone the idea to use it in this method. :)

[@MsBrendaMcKitric]

BakaPanda96 so does cornstarch

[@tashagayle3064]

I did this for about 6 months when I severely damaged my nails after I kept getting acrylic nails, this saved me!! I mixed clear polish and cornstarch to make a paste and found it really worked for me. It took about an hour each week but my nails were so bad I couldn't use my natural nail at all so I was willing to do it!

[@krystalleighton]

So, my husband informed me that baking soda might be more effective and stronger than cornstarch, as they use that in combination with super glue in the aerospace industry to reinforce the glue. He wanted me to let you know. :)

[@NailCareerEducation]

+Krystal Taylor huh, maybe ill try that

[@krystalleighton]

Nothing beats acrylic, obviously, but I think it would be fun to experiment with.

[@kelslo74]

Whhhhaaaaaaat?! 🙀

[@themelonsoup]

I thought about using that. Hmmm

[@janlockhart2846]

I was thinking sifting baking soda into the cornstarch. Not sure you want something used to fill gaps in planes on your nails. Imagine the pain of something that strong if a nail was bent.

[@nayelisanchezluna798]

So I used hardening clear nail polish and flour (didn't have corn starch). I did three layers. Filed down. Shaped the nail and they are pretty strong and they have the tapping noise too. I work in retail stock and my nails haven't come off or bender it any way.

[@rashikamohata705]

How long did they stay??

[@nayelisanchezluna798]

@@rashikamohata705 Well 1 fell off about a week and a half getting close to two weeks. But that was because it got caught in this metal thing. But the others remained strong. I like to change nail designs or color very often so this was a great solution without my nails getting damaged constantly by the acrylic.

[@nayelisanchezluna798]

So maybe for me 2 weeks to 2.5 weeks.

[@SakuraCourageSolo]

As a baker, I can fill you in as to why confectioner's sugar or flour wasn't used for this. First off, when confectioner's sugar comes into contact with a liquid or a moistener (At least in the amounts used here), it breaks down and dissolves into the liquid, leaving no form. Even if you were to have a higher confectioner's sugar ratio as opposed to your top coat, the consistency would NOT hold. Cake icing is a perfect example: it's basically a lot of confectioner's sugar with a little moisture, and that's not gonna hold up. Basically the same thing goes for salt and granulated sugar. As for flour, it might hold up it's form under certain circumstances, but it wouldn't set quickly enough, PLUS it has a much higher 'rot' factor. Cornstarch is something used to thicken gravies and sauces, hence a little bit of it in high moisture content. It's most basic function is a thickener and a stabilizer, which is exactly what it's doing on your nail.

[@angellizd5975]

SakuraCourageSolo I commented earlier after she said flour sugar salt lol... that's when I thgt about liquid thickener !?!? Same idea as the starch .

[@kaylaclark7092]

I wish cornstarch was the only thing used to thicken gravy. I can't really get enough outline anywhere, because they use glutenous flour

[@jessieqk12]

The cornstarch doesn't do anything for the nail. It doesn't give support as it is not a hardener and doesn't form a solid or hold itself together very well.

[@2degucitas]

SakuraCourageSolo Great analysis.

[@kelsey3016]

[@lynnadams7906]

[@PrinceCharmThings]

This is the first time I heard of using cornstarch & I don't get acrylic nails anymore but when I saw this, I thought it was intriguing. I wonder if dusting it on lightly with a strainer isn't the problem. If you dipped the nail into the cornstarch, much more of the powder would be absorbed into the liquid, resulting in a stronger nail. Dusting is hit and miss and limits the amount of cornstarch. You could see that it was very spotty. Also, nail polish doesn't dry all that quickly. When I polish my nails I use a nail dryer or at least hold my hands in front of a fan to help dry each layer before adding another. I would think that would help as well, even if just for a minute or two between coats.

[@shellz3295]

Yes Kathy I believe she's trying to disprove the cornstarch as any salesperson would want their products to be more desirable I have seen this many times with sales people the strainer is part of that I don't know why it's not more obvious two more people maybe they don't understand any of this process so they're easily fooled. I'm not an expert but yeah definitely makes sense to dry fingers under something that would dry instead of letting them sit like that like she would do with her clients... y'all let's just sit there with no dryer( too obvious) you have to dip your nails in the cornstarch she knows that already. I just find her tone annoying and patronizing as if her method is better building yada yada yada I'm an expert.

I agree. I wonder if light would help or not to bake on?

For a person like me that has bad allergy reaction to gel and acrylic this is the best way to wear long nails!I have no options!I tried lots of companies and good products that promished i won't have ich but in the end weren't anti-allergic!

[@sdalrymple2154]

I just saw another video about fiberglass and silk wraps that are acrylic and gel free. They may be worth a look.

[@Koro098]

Have you tried polygel?

[@chewlah]

YEEES!!!! I’m allergic too 😩😩😩

[@future.cadaver]

When you ask to go to the nail salon and your Mom says, “We got nails at home!”

[@SocratesSetarcos]

It makes me happy and blows my mind how the comment section is so relateable! I'm here cause of the vibe... I don't wear nails lol! ❤️❤️ Goodnight everyone. Shes what I choose to go to sleep to. Haha😂❤️

[@NailCareerEducation]

Awwwww/ nighty night 😴😴😴😴😴😴😴

[@pinkyflee6382]

How relaxing is her voice & pleasant is her face?! Suzie makes my anxiety go away 🥰

[@redhotsweetpotatoe]

Suzi, here in Southern California none of the nail techs I've spoken to will do formed nails, they insist on tips. The answers I get are, "No good", "take too long", "too hard", "won't last", etc... What do you think the real reason is they don't want to do them? I think your formed nails look so much better than the tips.

[@allthingschrisee9350]

redhotsweetpotatoe more time to do and possibly more product being used would be my guess.

[@kelseymorine-reid5863]

chrissy j disagree. It takes me more time to use tips because you have to blend the tip with the nail, etc. The forms. I put them on only use what I need shape the general shape bam in 20 minutes I have all ten fingers are sculpted and that included during time. Tips would take me way longer because you have to size the tips. Glue them on. Blend them to the nail. Shape and shorten if need then put of the gel. Takes me 30 to 40 minutes depending on the person to use tips. And both this times are before filing and the design so I'll stick with my forms lol.

[@roseperez2127]

I was taught to do forms....those other places don’t want to do forms , because it’s about getting you in and out.... quantity not quality.....!

[@kelseymorine-reid5863]

Rose Perez exactly when i say blend the nail these place probably don't even do that they glue it on shape and go.

[@juliestitt6889]

Kelsey Morine-Reid I say the same thing all the time. Forms allow me to correct the shape of a crooked or upward growing natural nail and definitely quicker for the same reasons. I hate tips.

[@SJ-om8dl]

7:54, I love how she casually just tossed the paper on the floor xD

[@kiera2sweet]

The music, her voice, her tutorial, her background decor and knowledge are all so satisfying ❤❤

[@serenitydavis2262]

Video should be titled 24 minutes of Suzie Low key shading "Cornstarch nails"

[@NailCareerEducation]

+Ren 10 lol - FUNNY

[@traviahollingsworth730]

Fr

[@emj970]

Seren Ity 😂😂😂😂

[@CameoRoyale.]

Yeah the whole video gives me "who ever came up with this is simply laughable and should be frowned upon in my professional nail world! " vibes.

[@demiaguayo5046]

I caught that too! I’m low key loving it though.

[@elisabethblackwood3921]

I love how sweet and positive you are about everything Aunt Suzie!

[@Demontia]

through quarantine ive been trying too practice my nails because i want to be a nail artist one day. suzie is really helping me out!💕

[@chantelmoore3711]

I absolutely LOVE her! Her voice is so soothing, she's so informative and patient. One of my fav channels for sure!✨💗

[@blessedandhappy6979]

I do it with gel top coat and use uv lamp. Works perfect and stays in place for more than 2 weeks.

[@naeness]

I like more the cornstarch nail than the acrylic nail.

[@lesliegalloway9314]

ADM it seems like a healthier option. Smart hack too.

[@jessicatorres1327]

Love your pf pic

[@BellaFrice]

Are these water safe? I'm and hairstylist and looking for a safer option and cheaper

[@shady_arty_lady8262]

ADM nice profile picture

[@chaseybaileyy]

ADM same

[@1amSam]

I think the tip helped to keep the strength I might try it because I just ran out of acrylic

[@moosvoos3882]

Suzie is soooo cute :c she keeps it casual and professional at the same time ❤

[@camille107]

She’s the Bob Ross of nails

[@ddgandme]

Best comment on KZbin!

[@lunarwitch9849]

I’m definitely going to try this. I’m allergic to acrylic, gel, and gel polish and my nails are so thin I can never get them to grow long without breaking.

[@TheArtofThings]

Ashley Yates I don't think your allergic to all this products. I think what the issue is that there's something in those products that gives you an allergic reaction . Dip powders would probably work better for you then this method. This will hurt you if the tip cracks

[@Crystal-xp2fw]

Have you tried fiber glass/silk wraps? It gives you the appearance of natural nails but with some serious strength. That was my favorite way to go when I was a tech.

[@ICanChangeItLater]

Another option is dipped nails! Just so you know, Susie wrote in the comments that she is unable to do normal chores with this nail because she feels like it’s going to crack off and damage her natural nail

[@ericamiramontes3012]

Ashley Yates ugh, so am I and I am looking for other options

[@heatherlundquist-buffalo]

Use IBX abs IBX boost or LCN gel.

[@t.l.4719]

Oh how I wish she had been my teacher in cosmetology school.. I loved all of my instructors but wow.. she is just an Amazing teacher!! Edit - just saw a comment under mine that said "she is the bob ross of nails" - that literally summed it up Perfectly!

[@CyborgMaMa]

Did anyone try clear gel polish, curing in between steps? I think that would work!

[@tmoni7839]

Angeline JoVan that’s what I’m thinking too because when you put gel polish on it would lock your polish in with a stronger hold why not..... ijs

[@novaexx6587]

Still waiting for a reply to this comment XD

[@medhatiwari.]

But everyone dosent have a nail lamp ( I believe that is what is used for curing?) :'(

[@kyidyl]

The reason for the corn starch is this: The other materials you mentioned (save flour) dissolve. But also, cornstarch makes a unique structure when it combines with the polish. That's my thought anyway, because of the way cornstarch makes a non-Newtonian fluid.

[@XSNOVERKILL]

well if it doesn't work you can always make gravy

[@lisabckr3580]

Just stir your fingers in the pot 😂

[@britneyy.9779]

😂

[@din0sore]

To this video is fantastic. I'm thoroughly impressed with it overall! Suzie, thank you for making these educational videos. 💖

[@user-ed5sw9fj4t]

I dare you to drink every time she says, "structure."

[@janielewis5458]

Valerie McAdams how about product lol

[@domlee5461]

Drink soju.. I did.. Dont even ask.

[@altheacain2942]

Or "professional"

[@carihall4482]

I CAME TO THE COMMENTS TO SAY THIS EXACT THING

[@amyeethomas2495]

Somebody would have to come build a structure to carry me out on 😂😂😂

[@zyaneduggan535]

Finally i wanted to see a pro do this that way if i know if it is a fail or holy grail 💋

[@NailCareerEducation]

+Zyane Duggan lol its a FAIL

[@zyaneduggan535]

Yes 😂

[@cari.dunn.1994]

Nail Career Education How long did it last? I tried it once but it didn't look good, so I took them off. But with the technique you used, maybe I can make it pretty.

[@angelicworshiper10]

More like Holy Fail! Lol.. Some ladies swear by it.

[@QubilahHarden]

Zyane Duggan SAME HERE!!! I was thinking she was going to pass but I’m so glad she gave it a chance. I LOVE how she teaches instead of beating it down.

[@RaeLikesFroot]

Do a shot every time susie says “Tip” 😂🙏🏻♥️

[@excuseme9930]

Rae Likes Froot *take

[@madisonalbury7466]

Shot every time she says structure lmao

[@jenniferp1458]

Rae Likes Froot or structure

[@vanessaputnam1316]

She is just so lovely! Can watch her videos all day! :)

[@hannahmixon9725]

I am learning so much about nail structure and acrylics. You are a great teacher! First video and I'm loving it!

[@Prettymapleleaf]

Yay Canada cornstarch! 🍁💅🏻

[@whitetaildarling3433]

Smith I know right?! Same kind in my pantry

[@Jeny-kx9ss]

Whitetail Darling Have you ever tried the shortbread cookie recipe on the box? Best cookies ever!! So easy to make as well. Why waste it on nails when you can use it for such fabulous cookies!!

[@Claudia-mz3yp]

Smith what's the deal with Canadian cornstarch. Is that what it's called or.......

[@darlenedavis219]

Smith Dang Canadas are so nice

[@whitetaildarling3433]

Jeny 8675309 Yup, they taste the best 🥧

[@oiram5000]

Well, ​I thought she tries mixing it with hard Gel, to make DIY Polygel. Would love to see a review on that, and a comparison to gel mixed with acrylic powders.

[@kristine2969]

Maybe simplynailogical would do it 😂

[@oiram5000]

No way :D Cristine would never put extensions on her nails xD

[@kristine2969]

I know that but maybe on that plastic thingy she does her experiments? You know what I mean right? 😂

[@starkeymonster]

swatch stick?

[@kristine2969]

starkeymonster yeah that 😂

[@tanyselden4275]

I love watching her n I just started watching her cause of everything that's going on in the world today. I never been like a big KZbinr. Girl ur so dope n ur nails always look amazing.

[@KTMsmutKITTEN]

Cosmetology schools need to make you the Instructional Video Queen!! Although this isn't a professional approach, but an at-home DIY, you do an awesome job at explaining the differences of "nail tech" vs. "at-home" and your detailed step-by-step is the best! Thanks for your rad vids!!!

[@Scereyaha]

Cornstarch is used similarly to turn silicone into a mould~able and handle~able dough that "cures" faster, it works because the starch bonds to the solvent in the silicone/nail polish, and in the case of silicone _which cures from contact with water moisture_ introduces moisture to the silicone, but the caveat is that it is always FAR weaker than pure product, because the end result just has a bunch of starch throughout it with solvent soaked into it that may or may not ever fully escape. [In the case of silicone, which is porous, the acetic acid does escape, but leaves the starch there as a weak point that can take in new moisture at any time.] In the case of nail polish in particular, it means having a bunch of soft starch particulate worked throughout and when put on thick enough may mean it will never be able to fully cure because the surface will harden first and seal the solvent into the starch deeper down making it stay permanently sludgy. Building it up slowly may eventually "cure", but it would always be too weak to be good for nails, due to the presence of the starch. Starch is used rather than flour, or sugar or salt, because of it's fine~ness and it's ability to soak in a lot of moisture [even not purely water moisture] without dissolving. Flour would be worse, and chunky, and more opaque, crystalline things like salt or sugar would likely not work at all. A better solution may be building up layers of resin [aka acrylic or polish] with FIBERS in it [similar to the tea bag trick] where the fibers _in the right balance_ would add strength, build the shape, and not interfere with the evaporation of the solvent. [Think like how fiber glass is really strong, but don't actually work with fiberglass anywhere near your body as breathing it is is a huge health hazard and can cause permanent lung damage or even lung cancers.]

[@NailCareerEducation]

+Scereyaha WELL SAID😀

[@Scereyaha]

Thank you

[@andreaaldrich4046]

Scereyaha Here I am. Living in an old attic with fiber glass behind the wall.

[@mirandabaker8192]

You do realize they make fiberglass nails right? They call them fiberglass wraps or silk wraps ( uses silk fibers not fiberglass).

[@Scereyaha]

They may very well make fiberglass nails, I would have assumed someone would have though of it, but they aren't going to be using any old fiberglass fibers to do them and especially without breathing equipment or masks, as fiberglass, when breathed in caused micro and not so micro damage to lung tissue. What I was getting at was don't just go around getting fiberglass fibers and using them to do your nails.

[@abigailquezada8638]

I'm sorry, but I love the smell of monomer and acrylic...

[@RebekahCarrow]

Abigail Quezada Me too!!!! And the smell of new shoes

[@mieli4731]

hahahahahah YAS!

[@jul2447]

Why are you sorry?

[@abigailquezada8638]

N_H As in no disrespect to Suzie's video or anyone else using this method.. nothing personal dude

[@jul2447]

Abigail Quezada ohh I see....so..why are you sorry lol jk², it's not disrespectful at all tho btw

[@katlink6804]

Suzie: *yells* Also Suzie: very profesional

I just started doing my own cornstarch nails at home and I love it its so easy and much better then getting acylics and its cheap to get the supplies

[@jennaeisenhauer6201]

Where do you buy tips not just fake nails? I guess you can cut the fake nail ( Ex. Kiss brand).

[@bethanyfern6869]

I don't even do my nails but I watched this whole thing! You're so great!
