Repairing A Lifted Acrylic Nail - Step By Step Tutorial 

the profesionalism and quality content of this chanel is so high!!!

Her voice Is so soothing 😊

Watching your videos has opened my eyes on how bad the nail salon I've been going to is! I had never had my nails done professionally before and recently started going to a nail salon that got decent reviews online. The first time I went there to get my acrylic nails removed all they did was use nail clippers to cut the length (which split the nails all the way down) and then took a nail tip and shoved it underneath the acrylic to pop them off! I complained to the lady that it hurt and she told me "You've never done this before, that's what it hurts." These videos are EYE OPENING and I definitely will not be going back to that salon!!

All nail shops need to watch you some don't know how to take off nails...

I wish you could just do my nails for the rest of my life. Every time my nails lift, every nail tech just puts a drop of glue in between the acrylic and my natural nail. And then OBVIOUSLY it lifts again a few days later. So frustrating lol

I went to a salon and 2 days after I got my acrylics 4 of them popped off, and I realized that they didn't buff or prepare my nails before, never going back

For those wondered what nail polish she applied at the end, it's OPI B28.

Because of you, I appreciate my nail tech even more. I've been with him for 13 years and everything you do he tends to do as well. I am so glad to know that my nail tech loves me haha

im so frick fracking sick of techs ripping my nails off. im doing my own nails from now on. thank you Suzie, you're the absolute best.

I'm ecstatic to know you advise others not to tear off the lifted acrylic. I would totally visit your shop! 💓

I wish you were in my area!

I love watching all of your videos, they are all so interesting. You do amazing work!

Suzie, you are so magical!

I have said it before but feel the need to thank you again as I have,and still am, learning soooo much from your videos! Having passed my nail technician course some weeks ago,i am not yet ready to take on 'real clients ' but am enjoying learning from yourself. Thank you!

I don't know anything about nails and I came up here pretty randomly, but you've blown my mind tbh This is Art ! Keep going with the great work :)

I watched this video about a month ago. I've been doing nails professionally for 24 years. I am of the mindset that you can never stop learning. You taught me a new technique in the video for drilling away the lifted nail. I LOVE THIS TECHNIQUE!!! Love your videos too.

What is your salon called I would love to go to it even if it's across the world love you and your channel I love you videos so professional and positive,Thank you so much for teaching us everything😊😊😊😊

I swear I have fallen in love with your channel not only do you come as real genuine and give clear information, you are a beautiful woman💅 hope you have a blessed day 💅

Oh how right you are! Getting a fill a few yrs ago I had to go quite a bit longer in between fills than normal & the product on my nails was honestly not worth saving (especially since I wear mine really short; athletic short) although all (magically) still full attached. The woman decided she wanted to start from scratch, meaning removing previous acrylic. Instead of soaking or filling down (either would have been more pleasant) she took a large tip & manually lifted the acrylic. It not only shredded my natural nail but hurt so bad! It made the acrylic itself almost burn & any and all filling on the acrylic burnt straight through that it left actual pinkish red marks on my natural nails. Needless to say never went to her again & although the finished product was pretty, my nails were sore for days!! Also, stickler for straight lines, it seems to be a nearly impossible task to find a salon who has a tech who can do a solid square. Tending to favor one side over another making the tip of my square a slant! When I ask most techs to redo them, they huff N' puff @ me! On more than one occasion I've taken their embrion board & filled my nails myself!!

I wish you could do my nails

Suzie you should have your own chain of nail salons. Is there any way to know if a nail tech is certified by you? Lol, where I live I'm so opposed to having my nails done because they look like flared lump squares. But watching your videos makes me want to get them done. Love you and your awesome work, keep up the lovely videos. ❤️❤️❤️

I love all your videos. You explain perfectly about all the tools that you use on your nails.

Wow, I wish I had found this video yesterday. I had two of my gel nails that I did lift and get torn off and my poor nails are a mess. I have a couple of others that are starting to lift and now I know how to fix them. I was actually going to try gluing the lifted area back down but, I can see that I should fix them properly. Thank you!

Thank you for teaching me, a client, a lot. We need to know these things too.

You and simply nailogical should do a video You've stressed your annoyance at waiting for normal nail polish to dry She is horrified by buffing I think the result would be funny

You are such a great instructor! I love that you go into the details of WHY you are doing certain things. Thank you!

I love your videos!! I don't do my own nails other than a polish. I get them professionally done. But there's just something about watching you do nails that is so satisfying to watch. Idk haha. You're the best nail tech on RU-vid I've seen!

Your are the best nails tech I ever saw in this youtube, it's helpful for everyone.

I've learned so much from you. I always got my nails done at a salon and I quit going because a full set is around $50 here in west Texas. I've come to realized that a lot of nail techs here damaged my nails and were careless how they removed the acrylic or how they filed my nails. It was quite lazy of them and of course I didn't know because I didn't know how to properly apply acrylic nails. I love how you use forms. I never knew you could do that. I'm now doing my own nails and slowly but surely I'll get better at application. No one cares about my natural nails like I do! Thanks for giving me confidence to do my own nails.

Very helpful video. Thank you for sharing how to properly do nails. I'm thinking about going to school for nails.

I can't believe how beautiful your natural nail looks after you just took acrylic off of it. So many nail Technicians in our area either use the orange stick to push it off or try cutting it off with the nippers. Your natural nail still looks beautiful. I am truly amazed

I was about to cry when I heard the natural buffing 😭😭😭😭

Omg every time I get stressed from studying I just watch one of her videos and it calms me so much

what is the name of that nail polish. it's quite beautiful.

Yes! I love when these videos are long, I could watch your videos all day. I've actually done it lol

Most nail techs would just soak off the nail and redo the whole nail if it was lifting at all . Or they just ignore and put acrylic right over it because they are lazy

Really like your videos, did nails years ago as a nail tech, left the job and have been away for 20 years. Have started to get interested again and your videos are informative and easy to watch. Nice to see what I was taught is still hasn't changed for acrylic.

how I really wish I can get my nails done by you , you do beautiful work ^_^

You are a pro... It's just so beautiful to watch u do the nails so smoothly... Love your work..

I'm gonna call u Dr. Suzy coz of the mask. 😂✊✔ Dr Suzy the nail doctor hm seems legit. love you and your extraordinary work❤😘

i love your videos!! i also love that you take such good care in making sure your client does not feel any discomfort while getting there nails done. you also care about the natural nails. it should be mandatory that all nail salons watch your videos. i found your videos cuz i have sworn off nail salons that around me and I'm going to do it myself from now on.

I wish you could do my nails 😭 love all your videos!!

i wish i could just come and get my nails done by you. you do everything so perfectly and the nails always come out looking beautiful!

Every time someone took off my old gel nails, they always file through my real nail and it hurts and it turns really red in that spot. :( how do you know when you are at real nail on someone else when the color matches the real nail??

Hello from Croatia! You are so pleasent to watch and hear :) Your nail work is so normal and yet, so modern and beautiful. Love U and your work!

you should do a video where you show how you do your dominate hand with acrylic or gel

I wish I would have known about your videos when I was a new nail yech... learning..it was so hard and you could have helped me so much. Ot was trial and error but it took longer to learn without your help!! I love your videos!! Still learning after 10 years!!

Hi Suzie, susy here ... loving that outfit, I'm telling you... you should have some photos shots of those outfit of yours

I want to thank you for these videos. I am wanting to do my own nails due to being a victim of fungi under thr nail bed and not being a happy customer when i get my nails done. I started with your review on the Kiss naik kit and have been watching videos back to back. I love how you explain what you are doing as you are doing it. It really makes a difference being that i am a true beginner. Thanks for everything.

Nails are my passion but unfortunately I'm unable to attend school so u have been my in home nail technician teacher .my art has improved extremely since I started watching your videos . thank you so much.

My question for you is how many times can you have a fill done before it needs to be changed?

You are so great at what you do and the quality of your videos and tutorials are amazing just to watch!

Like seriously all nail shops & nail technician needs to watch your video you really have thought me a lot good job susie👌🏾💯

Hi can you please do a nail care routine please please Please please reply me will you or not 😭✌️

honey, I thank you. I've learn everything from this videos.... you are awesome!

What is the easiest nail shape to wear and maintain, both natural and acrylic nails?

I LOVE all of your videos! I think I've watched them all, twice at least lol.. I love doing my nails & my friends & family's too, & your channel has taught me so much, so thank you ❤💜💙 & I love the new starter kit... I've got 6 kids, so most of my nail art tools are homemade/D.I.Y's, but I swear, I WILL have it ONE DAY lol, until then, I'll keep watching & learning! thanks again!

I would love to have my nails done by you but sadly, I don't live in Canada ):

Thanks for the distraction while I sit in this hospital waiting room waiting for my Dad to come out if surgery. Really appreciated.

What brush would you recommend to really really small nails?

I'm so jealous of Suzie's nails. She has a longer nail plate. Mine are relatively small and my natural nails still grow pretty nicely, but nails with a longer nail plate always just look nicer at even super short lengths.

i need to take a trip to Canada and visit her salon...at all of the cheap shops i see in my area, lifting like her thumb is normal... clearly they arent doing it right like her! :p

I will never do acrylics and don't particularly like them but your videos are so fun to watch. You are very talented!

you are amazing but for some reason you remind me of abby lee miller! haha

you explain everything so well for someone who is learning

It's amazing how she did that without messing up the natural nail!

I absolutely love your videos! I just discovered you yesterday and I've already watched every acrylic video you have. Is there any chance you could give me some product recommendations? I'm trying to stay low budget, but I understand that you get what you pay for. Thank you so much :) Keep making these fantastic videos!

I don't know why I'm watching these videos, I'm never gonna do anything in these tutorials but I'm mesmerized by them omg I've been watching for hours

thumbnail made me cringe af

real talented best nail channel on RU-vid to me

she has made me realize how many mistake they make where I get my nails done. 😕

I swear, I live in Seattle, but I'm going to come visit your salon someday. I'm so so impressed by your work and would love to sit at your table!

You remind me of Rosie O'Donnell from The Fosters :o

Wow let me just start off by saying you are a GREAT teacher! I have bought myself a whole acrylic nail kit and can I just say Suzie you have been wonderful! I was wondering if you could make a video as if it were my VERY first class of acrylic nails. Thank you so much and rock on!😘

You remind me of Abby from dance moms, in a good way tho😘

I fell down a serious rabbit hole with your videos but I am so glad I did! I recently started doing my nails myself at home and your videos are a huge help! Pretty therapeutic as well 😘

The ratio of the balls are so satisfying

I love your channel and Suzie ! I left the nail salon in April 2016 and vowed to manicure my own nails and save money. Since finding your channel I've decided to do my own Acrylic lay over , and possibly in the future I'm considering doing nails as a career myself. Love your videos !!!!!

That nail polish at the end is beautiful! 😍

"Never never never rip it off!" I ripped off all 10 of mine bc the salon charges $15 for a freakin removal

I watch every vid once or twice I love your tutorials !!!!!!!

Couldn't you just completely remove the acrylic from that nail and do it fresh rather than filing it so much?

yeah, my nail tech used to rip off my lifted nails and once she even broke my natural nail too, it hurt like hell for sure. since then I looked for another place to go, where they never would do that, thanks to you Suzie!!!

that was the best common sense description i have seen so far. i just found you and will be watching all of your vids from now on. thank you for sharing.

You're my favorite theacher Suzy !!! I love you films !!!

These videos makes me feel sleepy

where i am from this is actually very common to get. nails are done very differently , we use tips not forms and we actually do nails to get our natural nails longer. very helpful thank you for posting

That nail needs Jesus

I really really want to get a set done from you. I love how elegant your nails always look. I watch your videos all the time.

I love your videos but I just hate that in the salons every single one I've been to all the nail "techs" are vietnamese and I barely understand them plus they treat your nails like they treat their toilet so careless and they just do your nails as fast as they can so they can kick ya out of the salon and get to the next customer that is just bull s#!# wish I could find a salon were the nail techs were all well spoked English or Spanish and take the time to see that you like your nails 😢😢😢😢😢not like the other ones! 😡😡😡😡😡😡

I know this video is old, but this is the first time I'm seeing it. I appreciate the depth you go into when you explain your methods. I am obsessed with details, so all of the details you provide are awesome for someone who learns the way I do. Your teaching style is very engaging, as well. Thank you, and keep up the good work!

Another awesome video! I'm really glad that you are doing these videos!! I have learned so much from your Channel. thank you, Suzie!

I don't get my nails done but I love watching these videos
