Tortoiseshell Nails

[@jeffbourne5620]

I appreciate your videos so much. I recently was diagnosed with stage 3 kidney disease which had been making my normally very strong nails very fragile. A very good friend of mine got me to watch your videos and i bought the equipment and gel polish to do my own manicures. My nails are back to not falling apart due to her kindness and your lessons. Thank you very much.

[@emilyhammonds35]

I just ordered the Madam Glam StarFire Gel color for this 🐢 look! I have asked several nail technicians near me and they're not able to do it! While in quarantine, I decided to order a lamp, gel polish, and more to recreate this look! Thank you so much for your videos, I find them SO informational! Thanks for helping us!!

[@peachedpocky]

These pattern reminds me of my mom's old sunglasses

[@Vickyyxoxo]

Melissa Shironeko i know what you’re talking about

[@kleineoOoStern]

All my glasses are brown or black with this pattern (I’m 25). It become a trend during the past few years, all the free of charge models which I love are in tortoise shell pattern or impossible colors which are the nightmare of my boss 😂

[@sandrastreifel6452]

Granny’s jewelry box, too!

[@robpattfan1]

Soooo pretty!!! Can you please do a video detailing how you actually got that shape of nail? I’m obsessed with that short oval shape but I can’t get it quite right. 😭

[@LisaSmith-ej3cs]

I second this opinion! I would love a tutorial on shaping a short oval nail. 💕 💅

[@krisliv5539]

What are a name and colors of the polishes that were used.

[@esmeraldarizogodinez1449]

Podría decirme los colores que utilizo ? Por favor

[@GGMKir88]

I love this! Thank you for showing short nails can look just as good!

[@kelciewelcie2193]

Dear Suzie, Hi my name is Kelcie! I have been doing nails since I was 14. I recently turned 18 and on my way to graduating. My school allows me, to go to a technical school for cosmetology. We mostly study hair, but I would really like to just be a nail tech. My teacher isn't really attentive to teaching or interested in helping students branch out into other branches of their career choice. Your video help and inspire me. I would like to take one of your classes, but unfortunately it would not transfer back to the United states. I was wondering if you could make a video on how to stay inspired, how you got where you are, and how to run a successful business. Thank you so much for your years of videos. I have learned a lot. Love ya~Kelcie

[@gElLo112]

Can you try doing some jade nails??

[@hollygoodwin3206]

Pleeeeease!

[@michellemerrill4497]

Susie I cannot thank you enough! I have spent too much money on fills and got fed up. I watched your videos and decided to do my own. Thanks to your guidance and education I think I did a pretty darn good job 👍

[@mariehawkins]

On the short nails they look more like lady-bug nails. Love the long nail design! Thanks for sharing.

[@jam9859]

I appreciate having an option/tutorial without blooming gel! TY

[@missarwen37]

So pretty and adorable, but for me is like a cute ladybug :)

[@Demiboy_DannyRose]

I have my own business making customized press on nails. I have been seeing a lot of the tortoise shell designs and the first time I tried to do it, it was a disaster! Looked like a candy bar! After watching your video, I can see where I went wrong and I used your method yesterday and they look fabulous!! Thank you so much for this video! Some of the other videos I've seen did multiple layers and this is so much easier and looks a lot better than the other ones. I have subscribed and will definitely be getting my advice from you!!

[@pamelakilponen3682]

Love short nail tutorials! A lot of us have active length nails. Thank you!

[@amandah2866]

Stunning, they really do look like that tortoiseshell pattern. It reminds me of an old plastic hairbrush I had as a kid (I was a 90s kid) and I thought it was the coolest thing ever lol. You've recreated that look perfectly. I wish we could put a topcoat on 2020, topcoats make everything better.

[@VICTORRRRIA15]

that base color really is perfect!

[@lisa-m-jennings]

I have never liked tortoiseshell anything but I will watch simply because I enjoy you Suzie. :)

[@Arizona-360]

I love this look. I watch your videos a lot and learning to do my own nail art. Thank you

[@sandierads4223]

These are adorable and can pass as ladybugs 🐞 as well 💜

[@cathysmith2451]

Great video, suzie and camera man!! So happy to see you back from your trip. Glad you both had a awesome time!! So sorry, suzie for your motion sickness 😔. Anyways, I love the nail design for short nails. Hope you do more designs for short nails. Have a wonderful week and weekend my dear friends and hope to hear more stories about your trip to Hawaii. ❤💋❤💋

[@HelloWorld-qn3wp]

Last time I saw a ladybird beetle was when I was a child. The pattern of the coloring reminded me of it when i saw the thumbnail. I felt happy and nostalgic to see it. Then I read the title and realized I was wrong 😂. Still beautiful ❤️

[@NailCareerEducation]

Its ok - may e to you they are ladybugs❤️

[@SairWithTheHair]

I thought they were ladybirds too for a second 🐞🐞 Super cute design either way.

[@nehdoll]

Loving the quality of your videos and the chatter between you both. So lovely. ☺️

[@TheRealGuywithoutaMustache]

Tortoise shell nails? Now this is something I can look forward to watching

[@madilynstorkson7116]

I love this nail art! It would be really cool to see nail art inspired by different crystals ☺️

[@louiealbrecht1088]

Yes!

[@theMermaidRhonda]

So pretty! That Madame Glam color is perfect! I love these!

[@lydiajohnson3592]

I recently saw some fake nails in this pattern and wondered how it would be to paint them. Thank you for showing us.

[@nightstarstar1]

I think I love the design on short nails the best! So adorable 😍

[@kibaetienne2171]

They really do look great on short nails. Thanks for sharing Suzie

[@beautybyrobin2183]

How adorable!

[@Orwellwascorrect]

So cute! I wish you would do short nails more often

[@frankieroyle]

New game to play on Suzie's vids ... spot the glitter LOL

[@juligrlee556]

lovely nails. You have inspired me to start going to a nail salon once again. Of course having nails that don't peel or chip is important as well.

[@Wolfkins1972]

Cute nails 👍😁💞 My hubby & I went on a cruise and went snorkeling a nd swimming with sting rays it was pretty cool and was fun to see the people at our table that night with the surprise on their faces cause people do the swim with dolphins which is great too but I be always been into doing a little more daring stuff for the Awe factor lol 👍😁

[@kawannahardy2924]

My daughter and I did too last fall. So much Fun!👍🏾

[@nikkienailsit989]

I’ve been wanting to do this design for the longest time! Thanks for the tutorial!! Think this will be my next design! 🎉

[@donnacunningham2722]

Hi Suzie that was amazing i cannot wait to try this. Her nails are beautiful and the color is pretty. Thanks for sharing. Love that you show your after shots it makes it more appealing and attractive 💗💗

[@floridagirl386]

I love that cameraman is your husband, got to love supportive men behind us🖤 ps ill bet you accidentally call for cameraman on off days haha 😉😉💞😂😂

[@christinatorressd]

I had no idea he was her man! Mind = blown!

[@DebraKadabra]

@@christinatorressd Yep! In another video she did a Victorian style set complete with her stamp pad and showed pictures of her wedding dress with Camera Man's face blurred out.

[@isithotmama]

😂🤣

[@floridagirl386]

"Oh cameraman...oop husband...sweety .." Lol

[@becauseimafan]

Loved #StorytimewithSuzie! What lovely sets of nails on you both! Looking forward to seeing more short nails videos too :)

[@JustinGangle]

Such a cute design Suzie! 👍😁♥️

[@ladyvamp14]

They look cute tortoise shell colours I love them !

[@saralexi1420]

When I first saw the thumbnail I thought of ladybugs ♥️♥️ the nails are adorable as always. Love you Suzie!

[@rawreen]

Adorable design!!

[@mapofwhatever]

I can imagine this reimagined as ladybugs ❤ Such a cute option for short nails 👍😊

[@NailCareerEducation]

Think i gotta do lady bugs

[@LbEternity]

Beautiful nails. Loved knowing I’m not the only one that gets “sea sick” like that. Lol.

[@ashleemackay9292]

I Absolutely love Madam Glam!! I have about 120 and counting.

[@chrisnewfie]

I totally love this design....thank you for sharing. Just love your vids, I watch them all

[@innaday1697]

So beautiful nail I like it

[@MsSportychic11]

I love tortoises shell

[@NannyDiaries23]

I love it on the long nails, the clear gel nails make the pattern look more like real tortoise shell

[@kathytarman2302]

Cute nail. You are so creative. Thank you for sharing.

[@Genaeve]

Ooh I love this design! Thank you!

[@erin8000uk]

You give people who are new to this ideas

[@ShikhasStudio]

Every time I watch your videos, every time I fall in love with you more :) I do not know it is your super positive attitude or your so calming voice! Love

[@kaeyasimp3918]

omg u should do tabby cat pelt and calico cat pelt themed nails! idk tortoiseshell is a type of pelt pattern so it reminded me of them LMAO

[@doniellelove4320]

I don’t have any gel polishes, but I definitely want to try this style with regular nail polish 😊 Hopefully it’ll come out anything close to yours Suzie 😅

[@paulakoncki4029]

This was delish to watch! Your nail looks gorgeous!! 💕💅😻🇿🇦

[@lizzethmorales8401]

I'm actually not a big fan of tortoise shell but this is actually really cute 😍

[@wendyshoudel1750]

Super cute!!!!

[@ranjudass5476]

I lop your design im fan of you 😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘

[@kieramoore6501]

I love these!! I initially thought they were lady bird/bug (depending on where you are from) inspired from the thumbnail.

[@WenBat]

Beautiful and unique look! And you gotta love the glitters in the close ups hahaha

[@craftyferretmama1674]

Hey Suzie You should have used a pair of Tortoiseshell frame glasses as a tie-in as well.

[@bettyhawkins1984]

They are Beautiful

[@OfficialLadyDarkSky]

suzie can you do more foils on how to correctly transfer them and what you recommend to use to stick down the transfers so they transfer perfectly, having issues big time where everything i use moves it or isn't sticky enough. its driving me nuts!

[@Bella.216]

I really love the design on Susie's nails a little better. I think on the models nails maybe only do accent nail. But great video

[@lovechild4484]

How did you do the first dots ...did u cure it after the first layer of the dots before the black?

[@travelingpair1998]

Love the amber Color

[@susyrojasdepas3965]

Hi Suzie what is the differece bewteen nail poilsh ?and gel poilsh? and what kind of HG lap can we use to make our nails dry quicklyer ? I love the tips of your nail poilsh xxxx😍😘❤💓👯

[@nelidasotelo3067]

Love your vídeos

[@mamafigz]

I kind of see more of a lady bug design 😊🐞

[@UtopianCookie]

Cow prints are soooooo in right now!

[@lindseybotelho]

I love Madam Glam, it's all I use now (except for the Base Coat and the Shine-E top coat from Enail Couture). I have about 25 gel polishes from MG and I've never been disappointed. EDIT: Make that 26...HAD to order this shade, it's just PERFECT for tortoise shell designs!

[@femketjeNL]

I love these 😍😍😍

[@francescabono6273]

Sei bravissima👍

[@d.on.in.a]

È anche adorabile

[@mikaylaweaver3281]

So beautiful!😘😘😘❤❤❤

[@darlingantiqueco]

Cute!

[@michellepimm5151]

How much gel are you loading on the brush’s it looks like a lot but always cures perfect.

[@adamspittal2877]

Love this looks😍😍😍😍

[@marivelguzman1995]

Im in cosmetology school. What i want to know is do all nail techs follow the procedure as i am learning? Soaking fingers with soap and water, cuticle remover and soak again, then file remove cuticle, buff nail plate, dehydrate, apply nail tip, acrylic/gel, file shape buff top coat , then massage hands with lotion, remove residue on nails then cuticle oil. Is this really the whole process or skip the soaking and the massage? I think its a really long process.

[@ThePolishQueen]

Loved these 💖

[@PonyVerdelml]

Such cute nails sooo smooll🥺💕

[@karenmcdoanld8805]

Your stories are always awesome!! So are those nails!! Love them!!

[@karanlancaster8482]

I’m so sad I love watching u do acrylic nails but for life of me I can’t do acrylic nails I’ve tried and tried I’ve watched a lot of KZbin and it look easy but when I try and it and can’t do it but even know I don’t how to do acrylic nail I love watching yr videos ✌🏻❤️❤️❤️

[@elizabethrobbins4702]

Have you tried the acrylic dip system? I've been using that for a year now for the low odor and relative ease of use. I have a severe scent sensitivity so this was my only real option for doing my own nails. So many of Suzie's videos taught me how to achieve a nice set of nails. Hope you get the hang of whatever method you decide to use, just takes practice.

[@karanlancaster8482]

Yes I have but I love the look of acrylic the dip powder base makes my eyes water a lot I’ve tried different bases and they all do the same thing

[@elizabethrobbins4702]

@@karanlancaster8482 I totally get that, for me monomer triggers a migraine so that's why I'm limited to the dip system. I agree though that a traditional acrylic set is much cleaner looking than dip.

[@MarauderetteForever]

Hey @NailCareerEducation I was wondering what your favorite clear polygel was because some brands "clear" comes out a little cloudy

[@pambaars7685]

Love your videos.

[@nanfredman1991]

Are there any non-pro-only colors one could use?

[@safaa9654]

This eas so satisfying to watch! One of the coolest looks youve done

[@britneymeitei2393]

Wow gorgeous Suzei if u keep options to buy only acrylics brushes it will be good 😊

[@teenachristy977]

Hi Suzie. I am 67 years old. My cuticles are terrible! They crumble and get like hang nails and I have to cut them off. Is there anything you can recommend for me to get them nice and smooth? I hate for anyone to look at them, even when I have nail tips, they look terrible. Please help!

[@belkinlainez1881]

Do you used dnd gel polish

[@Mila-gp9gl]

The pattern reminds me of lady bug...its so pretty. ..😍

[@55MissyLou]

Love these!!🤩💅💖💖

[@decrane100]

Can you please recommend acrylic kits/shops for beginners that want to seriously learn over time. You're videos are so helpful and inspiring!💖

[@craftyferretmama1674]

Could you use inks to do the same design as well(like the steampunk design you did a while back)?

[@miriamm3404]

Beautiful design! Today is the first time after watching so many videos that I realized camera man is her husband! Love love love it. Love these videos.

[@Stampinology]

Great design! Sooo pretty :) Also kudos to Cameraman...fab close up shots, you must have been standing on your head to get those dude !!

[@NailCareerEducation]

Hahahaha he will do whatever it takes to get a great shot- fortunately he doesnt have too- hes skilled
