Learn Nails At Home with Low Odor Acrylic 101 

I'm confused, is this kit for beginners or professionals? Is the monomer yellowing or not? Surely a beginner kit shouldnt require experience to use

Art teacher here. The bend in the brush is real. Very hard to get students not to leave their brush in the water when not in use. The water jar is not the resting spot! Love your videos, ma'am. Your voice is very soothing.

Thank you for your videos. I've been getting my nails done for years. I'm 71 and decided to do this myself. Your videos helped me to be very successful. I also have bad arthritis and this is one way I can make my hands look better. Love your products. What a difference compared to kits that I've tried. Thank you again for being so knowledgeable, and imparting your wisdom for the rest of us. I've been watching you for over a year now and you are fun to watch.

This comment section is an absolute dumpster fire. I sought out the video from LongHairPrettyNails and she was very respectful on the matter. From this comment section I would have gleamed that it was a nasty, scathing review, but this is not the case. It requires a good amount of a monetary investment to create these lines of products that can be accessed by non-licensed persons, so Suzie is taking a huge risk financially every time she releases one of these products. Suzie isn't just making things in her backyard and sending them, the company that developed the chemicals in the product needs to be paid; the bottle/container's design and printing company has to be paid; there's a company that ships the product that has to be paid; even the joyamia storefront's website has to be paid and all these are contributing factors to the capital investment. On top of that the storefront makes a profit as part of the deal with Suzie to take care of most of the grunt work of possibly designing the physical product and shipping it, and then a fraction of a fraction of all the sales gets to be Suzie's own profit. Many other RU-vidrs rebrand products related to their channels to make a small profit and to help give their audiences quality products that they can follow along with. Even if you can "get it cheaper elsewhere" there is no guarantee that the product will be of good quality. These professional lines of products that Suzie reviews are expensive. They are all expensive. Why are they expensive, because they are intended to be purchased by salons as inventory that is used to make money at $30-$80 a set. They are not meant for home use. I would take YEARS for someone to go through the powder in this kit. (knowing that the product works with other regular monomers is great for when the beginner is ready to move on to fast setting nails as well.) That being said, I hope in the future Suzie releases a normal monomer product for this line of acrylic powders. LHPN was very happy with the quality of the powder product and how it preformed with a different, fast setting monomer. (I do not know if the monomers are rebranded joyamia products, but hopefully if they are, it would expedite the process of creating a second set of systems). Additionally, It may also be helpful to put a more beginner-centric description on the joyamia page, as it is seemingly absent and someone purchasing directly from the site may be unaware leading to poor in-site reviews, affecting sales. I would also be interested in seeing how one would get rid of the tint, as I've seen some comments on the review video regarding that the tinted layer can be filed off. I watched for this issue closely on LHPN's video and it did seem that when she first cut them off, only the top layer was yellow. It was fairly distinct. If this were included in an upcoming tutorial on your system, I would be hopeful it would cease some of the backlash. In one of your videos you mentioned that the purple color of monomer was to cancel out the natural yellowing of the product; I know you're not actually going to a lab and designing a product here (mixing chemicals and all that), but if a slow-setting, purple-tinted monomer existed, would this mitigate the issue? Also, are there plans in the future once all the kinks have been sorted to release a deal for an all-inclusive starter-type set featuring the full line of products including the brushes, dishes, etc? (I can't recall if you had released an acrylic dish and towel in the past, but I have a vague memory of it.) I do apologize for my utterly verbose response. I am overly invested in product launches and business strategies. Please do not take me as a creditable source as I am just the same as any other commenter, spouting into the void with little to no authority on the matter.

OH SUZIIIEEEE YAYYYYY!!!!!!! I've been dying for another kit from you! By the time I discovered your channel and fell in love with nails, your original kit was already gone, and I've been soooo excited for another one to come out. Last week I made the decision that I was going to shop around online and try to find a comparable kit since I have so much time on my hands, and here is this video today to make me so happy. I've ordered this, as well as your brush and file kit, and I'm so excited for it all to arrive. Thank you for your thorough instruction, your attention to detail, and your soothing presence. "Let's get started!"

This was seriously like a free class! Thanks so much Suzie.

That price though.......

Hi Susie . The nail enthusiast. “Long Hair Pretty Nails “ reviewed this kit of yours . I understand it’s for beginners and that’s the reason it’s slow setting . It did yellow pretty much right away . Do you know why it did that ? Some people mentioned that the surface needs filing once it dries . Not sure .... because I mostly work with builder gels and polygel .

Suzie is killing it!! Congrats on your new kit!

Odorless!!!!!!!!!! SUZIE! THANK YOU! I have a very sensitive head when it comes to smells and monomer gives me an instant migraine! You are a blessing to the beauty industry and I am so thankful for you ❤❤❤❤❤❤

Me again, I hadn't finished my comments. I've looked and looked and looked and looked for advice on product, design, etc. I finally stumbled onto your videos which have been so amazing. With the new kit of no odor and the lovely new colors I've finally and successfully created the new bodied nail of today! I want to say how much I love your vid's of instruction, plus. My hubby was also a well known photographer in the Dallas area for years, so appreciate your camera hubby even more! Thank you for everything you pour into these videos. Your heart and soul is so very evident in the teaching and care you bring both to the experienced and non experienced! I share your heart kiddo. God bless you and keep these wonderful videos coming. Thank you so much for the new Starter kit - even my girls have noticed the difference! Bless You, Sheryln

You are such a wonderful human being, Suzie! I hope you and your family are well and safe. ❤️

This would have been an excellent pre-release video - build anticipation for the product AND provide instruction.

Thank you Suzie, for all of your dedication and knowledge. Many people have learned from you, and what you do is very appreciated. I always look forward to all of your video's and want to say thank you for taking the time to put out great videos so that everyone can learn....you truly are appreciated! Looking forward to your next video! 🧡💛💚💙💜💗

Congratulations Suzie. Love watching your video all the way from South Africa. I'm doing my own nails for 5 years now, and never went for a course. I practiced by watching all your videos. Love u & stay safe ❤️😊

I cant express how HELPFUL this video is!!! Thank you!!!

Why does your voice have a calming effect on me? Not really into nails, but I keep watching your videos because your voice is just soothing. :)

Suzie thanks for the shout out! 💕💕💕

I am a non professional, first time interested in the career. I ordered the Kit. I am anxious, can't wait to use it to learn. Thank you Suzie for the videos on your favorites, how to etc. Keep up the good work :)

You are an inspiration Suzie - Thanks for all the education this week. I am someone who would never have considered applying my own acrylics tips with acrylic or hard gel overlay, sculpting my nails, using Polygel or Dip Powder on my own I would gladly be serviced by an accomplished nail professional . Giving myself a French manicure on my natural nails with my opposite hand was the most complex accomplishment previously . I had been desperately seeking help to fill and rebalance my acrylics before they lifted, watched several of your tutorials this week. Under normal circumstances that would have been done 2 or 3 weeks ago- but these are not normal times- so your advise has been especially APPRECIATED . I found you while researching nail drills and your tips have been Spot on! Learning to do my own nails feels like freedom now. Thank you! And when my drill arrives- I will be able to use do my little Chihuahua's nails and give my husband a pedicure if he plays his cards right...! Staying calm and learning to do my own nails in South Florida :)

I was wondering if you could tell us why your clear turns yellow. Long hair pretty nails you should watch her video. She reviewed this kit and she had a terrible time. I think you should check it out. I know now from this video that it is slow drying. I love your videos. I learn so much from you. Thank you for sharing this with us. Stay safe and healthy.

Oh Suzie, this is so perfect and it couldn't have come at a better time. We starting our one salon when we can. We are still not started because of the virus. We can now practice on ourselves. Sorry for my english, I'm excited .

So cool! I have been a nail tech for 38 yrs and way back in the day Tammy Taylor had a work sheet like this to practice. Good luck with your new kit.

oh my gosh this is exactly what i need! i can’t get the kit at the moment but i’m happy i know exactly where to find it for the future.

Omgosh!!!! I wish upon a star ..to her suzies new nail kit😭. One day. Hopefully. Can I win a set and record myself trying it for the first time and giving you the footage? I'm a virgin with building and shaping nails. Congratulations suzie! I know this is very exciting for you.⚘

For someone who bashed another youtuber saying its not for “unprofessionals with lack of experience” you sure are selling it as a brand for self taught technicians🤔

Suzie this is so pretty!! Congratulations! I'm not a nail technician but I feel like with this anyone can play with these products. Absolutely love it ❤️❤️❤️

Hallelujah!!! Clean monomer??? Yes!! Now I can go back to practicing with acrylic whereas before I couldn’t because I was afraid of the chemical fumes. Just bought my kit!!!

YAY!!! I've been hoping you were gonna come out with your own nail kit! I love that it's slow curing and no smell. I've never done anything more than polish my nails so I can't wait to get this kit and try doing my own nails (after practicing first of course)!

This a fabulous idea! I'd definitely laminate it. It looks like a great gifting idea too!

This looks beautiful. I’m no nail tech by any means of the word. But I have 3 kids and trying to go and get my nails done has become a trip in itself. So I look forward to learning more from you and how to better do my nails. Stay blessed and keep that soothing voice. Also say 👋🏾 to the cameraman he’s a great supporting costar.

I just ordered the kit. I’m so excited to try it out as it will be my first time trying this as my daughter and I love to do things together. We love you Suzie.

I’m so confused. This is a product that claims to be non yellowing and no fowl Oder. So in a sense as long as your using the product you shouldn’t get the yellowing at all. Am I right or am I wrong? If this is a product that still gives off a yellow tint then why call it non yellowing in the first place and is the claim that it’s non yellowing a true fitting description or not?

I love your videos and how calming your voice is 🤗

I bought your product and it is very resilient! I have to practice more so thanks for the "worksheet", I will use it to practice

Hi Suzy, I ordered the new product and kit. I love it. I was a nail tech that started in the '70's. I had the awesome opportunity to train with Mona Hamlin of Mona Nails, Dallas Texas. I had worked for her several years and had received the most incredible training. She should be known as the Mother of the acrylic that formed nails for many many clients. I had a nail salon until my first child was born and tried to continue ... difficult. But I always kept my nails. Then came a period of not having them for many years. Then, I put them back on. Couldn't help but notice the changes in the product over the years. I am now 70 yrs old. I've been doing my own nails yet again for several years now. I knew the products I had access after my pro-license diminished were much different.

Suzie another RU-vidr nail technician bought this product from you, your monomer says on the bottle no yellowing. she was doing a whole nail set and it came yellow! Took forever to dry she ended up using another monomer and showed the difference, she was hoping you would reach out to her or have your monomer checked out! I thought I'd share this with you I don't want ppl to get the wrong conception of you! I'll look her up again and send you her channel! Take care.! Her channel is, Long Hair pretty Nails.

Hi Suzie! I'm a 56-year-old mother of 2. I've been getting my nails done since the '80s and I must say I love it! But like most people with the current situation, I had no other choice than to learn how to do them myself. Thank you so much for your videos, they are very clear, and straight to the point. Because of that, I did not lose my nails and I learned something new! I am not sure why some people complain so much but if I don't like a channel I just go to another. Please, continue educating us with your videos! I cannot wait for the next one!

I bought your new Acrylic system and I can't wait for it to come, I'm so excited. And I bought your files and nail brush. I got those in this week. I have learned so much just by watching your videos and have gotten much better with practicing. Thank you so much Suzie

I need to make sure I watch videos in order! Congratulations Suzie!

Ok just so all people can see this I am going to copypaste the response Suzie commented in someone's comment about the girl's video whom acrylic turned yellow just so you all can stop asking about the review and being rude to Suzie (to which she is being respectful as always) I hope ya'll can chill a little and remember the polite person Suzie has always been. No need to throw people under a bus just for some misunderstandings over something that is definitely not important right now. Ok here goes the conversation: Someone asked in a comment if she had seen the review and that the girl emphasized the slow setting monomer and that the product turned yellow when it hardened. Then someone commented "all she said was essentially it was the girls fault who did it, not the monomers issue" Then Suzie replied: "I haven not. This IS a slow setting product - that was deliberate. Im glad she learned that - that is what someone learning liquid & powder needs. If one was to use it expecting it to set faster they didnt understand. If one is inexperienced and they work with wetter beads will have a double hard time as this is designed to set slow. Too wet of a bead is a very common issue- Its important to know the product before you dive in. Misusing a product can frustrate you and make things harder. As for it yellowing, using too much monomer ( a wet bead ) can exasperate a no odour product. To create a no odour a catalyst needs to slow evaporation, a slight tint can occur on the clear, a good trade for people to work at home for their families comfort. 😊 Once the master this they can move up to a faster setting monomer and illuminate the tent all together. But in good time"

A lot of people are quick to judge Suzie for this product because of the review from LHPN. I do love LHPN, but she did not follow the directions for the monomer- her beads were way too wet. Suzie mentioned on Instagram that using too much liquid can exasperate a no odor monomer, causing it to yellow. You guys, Suzie has been in this game for over 30 years. I think she knows what she’s doing!

incredible, Suzy! your success is just amazing 💕

Congratulations! Hard work pays off! Looks like such a good product and great idea.

She explained the yellowing keep reading the comments I just read it thank you for the explanation Suzie! Keep up the great work! May God bless you and your family! ❤🙏🏽

yes as i thought initially its slow drying on purpose for a good reason of manipulating for beginners. i do not want to be frantically rushing to shape when i DONT know what im doing.

Congratulations on your beautiful kit Susie!!

I'm so excited, my son is buying me this kit for Mother's Day! And I'm getting the brush a gift for myself. Thank you so much Suzie for putting this out.

your soooo good at nails if i were to get a nail teacher i would pick you your the best!!

Thanks for the tutorial! Had been struggling with the ratio for a while xx

I’ve been doing acrylic nails since I was in med school. I love to do them and take my time because I don’t sculpt the nails on my natural nails, I do it on false nails because I have to remove them for surgery. So I use a peel off base coat and nail glue and it has been working for years. I will definitely try this kit.

I'm so glad you have your own collection! I hope I will have it one day. Congratulation! You look so serene and beautiful 🥰

Thank You, I've been waiting for Years for an acrylic with no smell, can't wait to purchase this kit. 💅

$17 for shipping for one brush thats crazy.

Suzie I don’t know if anyone has said this to you today yet.I love you 😘 you’re amazing and thank you for sharing your self and your knowledge with me. And to your wonderful husband thank you for making sure we miss nothing she shares and does you are truly an amazing man and husband. Sending both of you love peace and blessings to you and your family from New York City. Keep up the amazing team work. Your pupil/student from Bronx New York

OMG! YASSSSS! Just ordered, tried over a year ago & monomer stunk up my house! SUPER excited! Thank you Suzie!

Hi Suzie! I love your videos! I've wanted a page like this to practice on. I think if the page was laminated you would be able to reuse it over again. I am just brainstorming. You all that have a better understanding of acrylic and monomer would know better than me. Thank you Suzie for creating that page for newbies like me.

Suzie, you are the undisputed Queen of nail education, and I’ve been watching you for years, but have skipped over most of your acrylic instruction videos due to my first attempts (all abject failures) at learning acrylics on my own 30+ years ago, destroying multiple innocent brushes and wasting products in the process before giving up, because I didn’t have my own Suzie to teach me between right and wrong. Now at 61 years-old I find myself wanting to learn acrylics again, since all the gels and gel application techniques in the world cannot quite compete with the feeling of mastery over acrylics, so any idea when your beginner kit might be back in stock? With your guidance, I KNOW I CAN DO THIS! Thank you in advance, Suzie Sensei. 🥰

I really need to try working with acrylics once :D thanks for all of the handy tips and tricks

So nice of you to make a practice sheet (and for free!). Just ❤️ your channel and the way you explain things. Keep it up🤗

I really love that this has no smell. My husband loves that I do my own but hates the overwhelming odor! Now he will sit and talk with me while I do my nails! 😀

I can understand leaving out the primer since you intend this to be for beginner practice before actual application to real nails but why on earth would there not be a brush included?! Even if it was a pared down standard version and not the (very expensive) blingy signature one, we need a brush to work with even for practice. Heck, at least recommend a budget friendly practice brush if you're not going to include one. Honestly I think providing a brush in lieu of maybe one of the pink powders would have been more reasonable if not willing to include a brush with the whole kit as is. I was ready to make the investment understanding why it doesn't include everything needed for application to real nails but discovering there is no brush at all to work with really put me off, especially considering the price point for your 'signature' brush (which I am sure is lovely and I would love to have in the future) and that being the only brush you offer, leaving me to blindly scrounge on the internet for a hopefully decent brush and pay separate shipping once I find one. It's just perplexing and disappointing. Feels poorly thought out (especially since the kit comes from one site and your brush from another.)

Already ordered! Can't wait to try it out!!! I've been doing polygel for a while and I'm excited to have a consumer grade acrylic product I can trust ☺️ You Rock Suzie! ❤️

Your an educator and I praise you for doing this for so many years to help us all. Cameraman hello and thank you too.

Your amazing susie you inspired me to start doing acrylics I’m only 13 and I’ve gotten so good from watching your videos thank you so much😁

Suzie your amazing. I'm moving to.B. C. Soon and hoping I can get my nails done by you. Love you

Love this😍 congratulations Suzie.

thank you soooo much! A means to practice what we learn is soo helpful.

Although I've learned acrylic before, my love is gel! Nothing beats it for me, and that's what I use in my channel as well for my designs. But I think I would like to find a no smell acrylic to practice

Me who has never had acrylics a day in her life: I think its time I start doing my own acrylics!!!

Thank you Suzie! I know what I'm getting Christmas!

Thank you suzie that's so good to watch I've learnt how much watching your videos thank you X

Disappointed in the brand owner handling of this situation. Customer feedback is there to improve your product. Period. Will not purchase & unsubscribed.

I'm going through the comments and I hope this dont turn into a Max/dipped in pretty situation.

I love watching you. You explain so nicely and have such a patient voice. Thank you. I will be ordering from you soon

thanks for bringing odorless into the main market. when learning to sculpt nails especially right now when we are all stuck at home. odorless is a must for some of us that live with other people and want to respect them. i love the powder and the monomer. Good job 😊💕

Anyone using a practice sheet put a clear plastic sheet folder on top or if you can laminate it,that way you can use it more than once.

Clarifying folks! I used odorless eons ago when I took state boards. The monomer does have a yellowish layer upon drying. That files off and it’s STILL a beautiful nail of you file and shape correct. Too wet of a bead makes that layer a lot more yellow as it takes longer to dry.

Thank you Suzie your video helped a lot!🥰

Wow! Beautiful

Right. I'm forty eight and a half and I'm writing a letter to Santa. My husband just saw *that* look in my eye.

I absolutely love your channel!!! I do my nails at home most times but I prefer doing others so I can do elaborate designs!! Can you do another Polygel video? Polygel is my absolute love!! Also, how do you make your nails last? I do my polygel nails but they don't last as long when I do them on myself as much as a friend. Mine last about a week while theirs will 2 weeks+. I'm a nail biter so can that influence it also?

I ordered set as well as your brush. I can’t wait to receive them. Also can’t wait to follow your tutorials. Hope you, cameraman and your family are all safe and healthy.

Thank you for addressing allergies Suzie!!

I would love to try out your acrylics but with a normal setting monomer. Do your powders work with other monomer or just this system? I have spent countless of hours on practice sheets over the last 2 years. And I can tell by the way your beads reacts on paper that if you put the paper in a plastic holder the beads will run all over the place. Even when you make them superdry. Especially since the beads are setting and starts to float after you put them down you will chase that bead for a long time😔 Your practice sheet looks great though👍 Everyone should start there😉 But my personal and humble opinion is that we should all start to work with a more normal monomer, so you get used to working with it right away. But I wish you good luck with your new products😘🎉 Thanks for sharing and stay safe 😘💓💓

Well yes, LHPN’s nails turned out a bit yellow. But it could be different for someone else. I know she definitely does not have “lack of experience “ and sometimes products will be a bit different with the processing. Maybe she had kind of a weirder batch, idk, but what I’m saying is, Suzie is a very skilled artist and in my opinion, so is LHPN, I don’t think the product isn’t good or anything sometimes things just have different results. Idk man just what I was thinking

I absolutely love watching your videos! Your are so informative and explain in great detail! You have been a great help! I used to do my nails all the time but over time i stopped, you have inspired me to start doing them again and given me all the information needed to brush up on my skills! X

Aw yay that's so exciting!!!!

I would love this set, my mom hates the smell, thinks it will make you sick. Sadly can't afford this as a college student

Can you please do a video on your favourite nail drill(s)? Thank you!

Ur video and nail art has helped me so much through all this terrible covid19. Staying at home has been hard for me and my family.. My OCD has been so sever lately because of all the stress . Doing my own gel polish nails Is my peace. Thank for not leaving us at this sad time.

I got my kit coming!!! I’m so excited!! 😊

I have to say when I saw the price of your nail brush and this kit I laughed hysterically

Was wondering when you'd have a video on this! Yay! Is the cost in USD or CDN?

When I heard about this slow drying acrylic I was excited! I’m just now hearing about it and i think it’s pretty revolutionary lol 😆

Oh my goodness! What a happy surprise. Good for you suzie for doing this. I wish we could do an online class and get a Nail tech degree.

Guys for those of you who have purchased this set or any other product put out by Suzie or someone else here’s a tip. The best way to make a statement regarding your frustration with a person or brand is to withdraw your support. Don’t buy their products, don’t watch their videos, don’t go to their website. People tend to notice when their pockets are affected. Stop buying things because you “like” a person online. I learned how to do my own nails correctly by watching Suzie for 4 years. However, I have not purchased a thing from her since her enailcouture collab. Want to know why? I know a cash grab when I see one. I am a sucker for esthetic. I love clean, sleek and glamorous products. I would certainly pay a little more for high quality products that look good and make sense financially. The brush Suzie released was absolutely gorgeous!!!❤️❤️. However, in her reveal video I noticed the brush bristles were not high quality. She tried to mask it with editing but I learned from one of the best and unfortunately it was not worth the money. It’s actually not sold out... it’s currently on sale for 20% off. If the brush were let’s say $20-$30 I would have picked it up as a collectors item to support her. However, the price was baffling considering the product and certainly not worth it. P. S she doesn’t read or respond to comments often, she simply likes most comments made within the 1st hour of the video being posted to help with her engagement score on the platform. Trust me, she doesn’t care. I stopped commenting a long time ago when I noticed a pattern. Now I simply soak up whatever info I can get from a video once it’s released, take notes and keep it moving. Sucks but it’s true! Some of my favorite videos were the collabs with Grant 🥰 and her earlier ones that were in-depth and SUPER educational

Now you need to send one to Cristine to get her to finally try acrylic. :D

Can’t wait to try this to get better at doing nails ❤️

I purchased the monomer after smelling regular monomer sealed in plastic inside a plastic bag. Will be trying to do acrylics at home and the odor was a big factor. Thank you!
