Sculpting Gel Nails - Step by Step Tutorial 

she reminds me of a magical, fairy godmother

Susie is the Bob Ross of nails😍😍

i know she's a professional who's had a lot of practice BUT I'M STILL ALWAYS AMAZED AND FASCINATED THAT SHE HAS SUCH CONTROL LIKE I CAN'T EVEN PAINT REGULAR NAIL POLISH WITHOUT GETTING IT ALL OVER THE PLACE

Love how you show the real stuff of being a nail tech, like having a hair stick to the gel or the label upside down on the product! It makes me feel a little closer to you and dont forget we're all human

I sometimes wonder how Suzie can be this eloquent and fluent without a teleprompter or script! I could hear Suzie talk all day.

27 minute long video, we have been blessed

I tried it and now I have a fidget spinner baked into my nail... Help!!!

Suzie!! You are the Bob Ross of nail art. I could listen to you alllllll day!

ugh you have perfect natural nails. i wish mine looked like yours.. 😭😭😭

FINALLY! Was waiting for a video on this! As a gel based tech, don't get why people are acrylic crazy. Gel can be just as strong, can come in many colors, and very versatile. Thanks a bunch for this video Suzie! 😙

I don't do nails. I don't get my nails done. I don't even paint my nails that often. I'm just here because Suzie is calming and entertaining.

"Whatever gel touches, it sticks to." Yeah, Jenna figured that out quick 🤣

That Pennywise nail!!! I’m living for it!!!

Ok. Ok. So I finally tried to build out my nails with gel. They look AMAZING! No tips. So much faster. This is my life now. Yay!

I’m hooked she is my go to in this COVID pandemic. I will not be going to anymore salons. Now I have the confidence to try new things as much as I want.

hey Susie I couldn't help but notice, especially in this video, your natural nails are absolutely beautiful. how do you keep your natural nails so healthy with all this product use?

Suzie is, like, the Bob Ross of nail art yaknow😣👌👌👌❤😍

I freaking love this woman’s energy. So genuine, kind and soft. 🤍 And professional!!! THANK YOU for this vid!

You need to react to Jenna's gel nail video

Thank you so much for making these free educational videos! They are super helpful for people just getting into doing their own nails as a hobby or looking into it as a career!

Thank you for putting this up! I am an at-home user and doing acrylics was a bad experience for me- so very frustrating and an intense amount of filing. I went a bought the IBD hard gel from Sally’s and it’s been a godsend. Please teach us more, and maybe we could have some easy designs? That would be fabulous. Also, thank you for all that you do, you seem like the sweetest woman. Have a great day!

Her voice is so calming

I think you are the best nail educator out there. I have learnt from the ground up with you and now do my own nails at home. Loving the 'nuke', the box throwing and camera-man. Rock those nails Suzie. Awesome videos. Wish i could get your natural looking gel her in OZ.

I came from Jenna's video to see who suzie was tbh

I think it's time for some lilac nails

After watching different channels for the past 2 years...., Suzie, you are one of the top 3 instructors on video!! Thank you!

Suzie can you please do a cheap acrylic nail set challenge. Like so she can see!

Thank you so much Suzie ♥. I worked with acrylic from Day one and since I discovered you I always used your advice to become better. Now I'm pregnant and I didn't want to work with the chemicals anymore, so the only option was gel. I'm really afraid of it, because it's so different from acrylic and I had to start all over again.. And now you uploaded this video! In 30 minutes you are teaching me and I think a lot other people so much.. Just Thank you 💕

I love how you describe pot holes!!! Perfect description for me to understand! !!!

i am genuinely confused why there are any dislikes.

Thank you for doing this tutorial with Gel. I started doing my own gel nails 6 months ago after discovering your channel. I'm proud to say that I've improved significantly since then under your tutelage. Now I have another video to reference if I want to see how to do it.

Jenna said your videos were relaxing & man she ain't lying! That was awesome to watch & you have such a soft warm voice :)

I love it when she peels the form off the backing. Don't know why.

The clown from it nail is the coolest thing I've ever seen in my life. She's so cool I love her! Subscribed

Suzie is my go-to for my nails. I’ve learned to do my acrylic nails at home with her and now my gels because I got a lamp. She’s awesome.

Loved the video! Suzie, please make more videos with sculpting gel.

Im obsessed with her videos lol i feel like i am going to be one of the best in my nail class because of this channel (and two other you-tubers) thanks a lot 💁🏾

You are the "Bob Ross" of Nails and that's a compliment. Such great techniques and soothing voice. Thanks Suzie for these wonderful tutorials. You make it look extremely easy!

she’s so kind, i love her videos, the patience she puts in❤

Thank you Suzie for having the best and most concise nail tutorials on youtube

I just love the way you explain everything! Thanks a lot for this video

I had wanted to switch from acrylic to gel after 30 years of wearing acrylics. I went to my favorite pro site, ordered everything that I'd need except polish, I still like to change polish a couple times a week so I'll be using my own polish. It came, there had even been an up-grade to the UV lamp because the one I ordered wasn't in stock and I was so happy!! And then...... I proceeded to chicken out and not even try any of it for just over a year, because I was afraid of failure. I finally ran out of acrylic products to use and couldn't afford to buy anything new. My hubby, knowing me so well after 33 years, said "Just use the practice fingers, play with it a while, get your time down for curing right and you'll do fine." . After making him promise not to say "I told you so", I locked myself in my work room and in about an hour and a half walked out, amazed and said "Take a look at these!". He smiled and told me they looked like glass, they were so shiny and what a great job I did for the first time on myself. I couldn't stop smiling and looking at them, I couldn't believe that I actually did it and they were easy to do! So much lighter to wear, I can make them thinner when I use tips, no breakage, no lifting so far and I just love them!! I never want to use acrylic again! The things retired nail techs become afraid of, so silly! Why should I even care, you might ask yourself. Here's my whole point. Watch videos like Suzie's, take a little time to practice and even if you were raised like I was ( if you don't do it perfect the first time, you'll never be any good) and I bought into that load of manure most of my life, it's not true! You need practice to become perfect at anything you do, gel s no different. I wasted a year being afraid of gel, and for what?? Learn from pros, practice makes perfect and if anyone tells you different, get that negativity out of your life!

Suzie, I absolutely love your videos. Continued education and refreshing knowledge is so important in this industry, and your videos make that a dream. I wonder though if you might consider doing a video on the importance of properly disinfecting tools and surfaces, and how key general hygiene practices are to providing a good and safe service? Lack of knowledge in this area is one of the biggest issues in a lot of salons, and with your platform you could make a big difference there. Thank you for the time and care you put into these videos, they really are great to see.

Wow finally gel sculpting!! I love this video, good job. ❤

I've been doing nails for over a year now & I've learned so much from your videos. I deserve my nail tech license from watching and learning from your videos! LMAO

The whole reason why I watch her videos is because they are so satisfying to watch. Like sometimes when I'm having a hard time going to sleep I watch one and after I can go right to sleep

After watching your videos for several years, I finally got the courage to go and have my first set of gel nails. They are not as flawless as yours but they're pretty and I love them 😊

Love this! I am so thankful for your tutorials. You explain even the smallest of details. Hooked for life!

You’re an amazing teacher Suzie and you make me excited to try this out myself!

How could you not love Susie's vibe and guidance one of my favorite influencers and nail tech/ teachers thank you for being awesome

My school is behind when it comes to nails. They don't teach gel AT ALL. So I am learning a L O T on my own and thanks to you I have already learned so much about current techniques. Thank you so much for your time.

Love love love this ! I switched over to gel , it is so much easier to work with. I hope this means we will see more gel videos❤

class has been seated...and we are all ears

I am absolutely loving the new way that you are creating the videos - adding the text in point form and definitions. It is another great learning tool. Love the channel Susie and looking forward to what is coming in the future.

I hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate this nail shape. !!!!! But I love Suzie's tutorials. She is awesome!!

Gorgeous results!

What has happened to Susie tossing stuff (trash) over her shoulder? That makes me giggle every time. And camera man could add a "explosion" sound. Lol

I just adore Suzie's and camera man's videos the music is so relaxing, these videos puts in such a mellow mood and I feel so happy after even on my bad days lol. Plus even though I do not have an interest in becoming a nail tech, everything I watch give me an inside on what to look for when getting my nails done so they don't get damaged, give me an infections or an allergic reaction; or mess up my gels or acrylics.

In the past i didn't know how to speak English, not even texting and i watched one of your videos and i did not understand anything, but now that i have learned it ,i understand and I'm happy about it ! Love from Romania! ❤💛💙

i got acrylics about a week or two ago, and the person got the primer on my skin after the drill thing, it felt like my skin was on fire! it was terrible

Why do your videos seem 'Magical' I absolutely love watching you and I still haven't been able to buy my own stuff to do my nails. ;)

This Lady is so so lovely! I was sort of anxious and watching the vídeo made me feel so much better... Thank you!

‘Liked’ this before the ad was even finished. I’ve been hoping for a sculpting basics video!

Suzie you're such a great teacher 😊 you nails are awesome 😍❤

Suzie is the Bob Ross of nails 😍

New in the mail world, and thanking God for you taking the time to make these videos for us. Trying to see which is best to start with.

everytime my nails have broken it’s because they were acrylics. Never had a broken or damaged nail with sculpted gel!

camera man does suzies nails??? im all for it!!

Does the IT clown mean you'll be postin a video doin Halloween designs lol i would love to see that

Finally a clear, well explained tutorial. Thanks!

London and Stockholm are totally my favourites! Now I need these gel sets

I haven't been on your channel in so long, I missed you and camera man

OHHH HELLLL YEAAAAAA (came from her video)

I wanted to do my own nails but figured acrylic was too difficult. I taught myself how to do hard gel extensions. It was so difficult to figure it out do to a lack of information online. I'm so glad you posted this Suzie.

Thank you very much! I am not a nail tech but i like playing with my nails. And i love long nails but my natural nails break easily. Now i will use builder gel to make them strong, and learning tips and tricks from you gives me self confidence about it❤ I love watching your videos thank you♡♡♡♡

You've inspired Jenna Marbles again hehe love you! 💜 lovely nails as always

I am so diggin the clown....so cool. Your nails came out beautiful as always love the nudes.

Picked it up in Vancouver! Representttt! Love your videos! Thank you for repping BC so well 😘

So gorgeous! I've been waiting for some gel tutorials for forever now! Thank you!

Gel looks like a pain to work with

Hello again Suzy! Came from Jenna's Channel, thanks for the inspiration! :)

Her voice is so calm and peaceful 😍

Love how you explain what your doing. Nails are gorgeous!

I have a question for Suzie, or anyone with a good guess I suppose. One of my coworkers over the summer came in one day with nail extensions. I wear acrylics, so I asked her if she'd gotten a set done. She looked, well the only word that comes to mind is 'scandalized', and proceeded to talk about how she'd never wear acrylics because they destroy your nails. She'd gotten a hard gel set put on. My question is why do you think there's this misconception about acrylics being worse for your nails than gel? I know from your videos that the nail prep is the same for both, and the core ingredients are the same as well. I am confused. Also yes I know that acrylic/gel doesn't ruin nails when applied correctly.

When she said Ottawa I instantly thought.. CRISTINE!!! (simplynailogical)

The shape and those greys are gorgeous

Great video..explains gel process...working up the courage to do my own. Love the Halloween nail too!

seeing pennywise on your thumb was creepy yet hilarious to see while you were doing this hahaha. did you draw pennywise yourself? that’s some crazy detail

I’m really thinking about getting acrylics or gel nails, but I just can’t convince myself to go to a nail salon :/ I just don’t feel like anyone would do it as great as you suzie... or at least no one at a salon I can afford to go to And also I’m doing a lot of sports and I think they would just get in the way or get ruined :( But they always look so pretty T.T

The queen of nails 👑💕

I love how educational suzie is

amazing :)

Jenna brought me here with her fidget spinner and sour patch kid nails XD

This was a great tutorial. I love the way you explain all the steps and extra tips. The colors are very pretty. I would love to try the Mosaic brand.

I love them so much. They're so beautiful.

Excuse me. Do I see Pennywise the clown on your left thumb nail?! I love it! Show me how?

@Nail Career Education HAVE YOU SEEN JENNA MARBLES VIDEO! Hahahaah, you two should really make a video. I hope you make a response video again! Love both of your videos

Did my own gel nails and love them! ! Thank you Suzie! !!!

Omg I've been waiting for this for a while now, I'm learning to do my own nails and your videos are so helpful! Thank you, Susie!
