Start Learning Acrylic Nails *Featuring Suzie's New Acrylic Starter Kit 

I have never and will never do anything with acrylic myself but I just love watching and listening to Susie, I want to be her bestie 😅😂

It's almost like you know I just picked up acrylic for the first time in a couple decades.

Thank you your explanations are helpful..

This is such a great video for beginners. So much useful information. I write my final exam for my nail tech diploma next week in Cobble Hill!

I love how you strategically made the dehydrator and prep bottles a different color and on top there’s a note on the bottom of the bottle

Happy Sunday of The Palm Leaves 😄 hope you'll make something with some funny Easter designs for us! 🐑🐰🐣🥚🌱😄💛💚

I'm a makeup artist but i've been watching Suzie's videos for years, I'm slowly getting into nails aswell lol i also just love Suzie she reminds me of my pastors wife very soft spoken loving and just an overall beautiful soul.

The most undertaught part of acrylic application is what is done with the brush between pats. It's always out of camera range and never the focus of the teacher.

This is the just the video I needed. 😅 yay, thank you!

Ordered my kit and did my first acrylic nail today! Wish I could share a photo. Turned out so good!

Ohhh I like the new monomer packaging! I always tried to do a gentle trickling pour in my dish but then I used the hand of Thor and overpoured with the glass bottle (and I never poured it back into the bottle to avoid contamination). 😭 This video was helpful, especially for building consistent beads. My problem when I started a few years ago was I could make perfect beads...sometimes! And other days I just couldn't get the ratio down no matter how fundamental I felt it was.

You have the most beautiful hands Suzie… and there is such thing as perfect because you do all nails perfectly. I grew up in hair/nail salons because my mom is a hair dresser and I always went to work with her because she couldn’t afford a babysitter.. I absolutely LOVED watching the nail techs work. She worked in salons with white and black nail techs and salons with Vietnamese nail techs so I’ve just abt seen it done in every which way but even as good as those ladies were they cannot even hold a candle to you. Your work is by far the most beautiful I’ve ever seen.. I’ve always wanted to do nails but when I came across your channel it kinda went to a whole new level for me.. I’m a single mom on a very tight budget and I don’t have much confidence in myself so I bought some cheap nail supplies to practice with to make sure I could actually do it but I’ve not had any luck yet.. idk if it’s because my supplies are such low quality or if I’m just really that bad but I’m trying so hard. I can’t afford to go to school to do it or even buy better supplies but I’m hoping I will figure it out eventually.. I’m trying so hard not to give up because I want it so bad but I get so discouraged.. if I’m ever able to afford higher quality supplies I’m definitely going to your website for them. All of yours seem so amazing. Even your files are bomb, I want to try them so bad! Lol Sorry I wrote a novel, I just think you and camera man are amazingly awesome folks!! My favorites for sure!❤❤

like you're so good at not putting pressure on one's self. the fact that you're like "i'm just playing with the bead" the shape the texture like that took so much pressure off of me for some reason lol thank you.

Hi suzie and the comment section. I'm just getting started and one thing I've noticed is that my monomer gets cloudy with the powder after maybe 3/4 nails, is this normal or am I doing something wrong? I'm also getting acrylic stuck in the brush even when I wipe away excess monomer on the paper towel. I find myself using a cuticle stick to scrape the mushy mess out of the brush but worried I'm damaging the bristles. Is there a video on brush care, when to clean, how to store, etc and cloudy monomer that I'm missing? Thank you so much, absolutely love Suzies videos 😊

I just tried doing my nails for the first time last week! Having watched your videos for years I was pretty pleased with my bead consistency, but yikes do I need to work on keeping the product away from my cuticle! I *did* have a lot of lifting, so I have some troubleshooting to do, but I'm excited to try out all the tips and tricks you've taught! Thank you so much!

Hey Suzie, I wanted to express my gratitude for the New Acrylic Starter Kit you provided us with. It's incredibly user-friendly and versatile. I experimented with some beads and practiced on fake fingers initially, and surprisingly quickly, I gained enough confidence to do my own nails. The product practically guides itself, requiring minimal direction. I found it remarkably intuitive, perhaps because I'd watched your instructional videos numerous times before purchasing. Even though it was my first foray into acrylics (and I've never attempted gel nails either), I found the process quite manageable. I'm truly thankful for the fantastic product you've brought to the market. Your videos have been instrumental in my learning journey; your passion for teaching shines through, making it a joy to watch you work. While my first set of acrylic nails isn't flawless, I'm genuinely pleased with the outcome. Now, I'm committed to honing my skills and perfecting my nail art with each practice session. Once again, thank you immensely.

I know I'm late to this but I really love how beautiful and classy Suzie's nails look there a beautiful square shape and I love them they're not over dramatic perfect has the wonderful hands for massage with that particular shape it is so wonderful I so adore Susie 🥰👌🏼🙋🏻‍♀️🥂🌟🌹🌷🌼🎉😉💯‼️

I just received your acrylic kit as a Christmas gift and I can’t wait to get started!

Wish I realised you uploaded this like 8 hours ago when I was practicing my beads! This would’ve been so much more helpful! 😂 will absolutely be trying your tips tomorrow!

Suzie, I would really love to see more videos of you, like, just doing your thing, making something artistic, that you came up with. Not that you don't already do that! But I guess I am just saying that I like those videos a lot!

I ruined two brand new acrylic brushes today. My nails look good but I definitely ruined the brush during the process🤦🏼

I never comment on anybodies channels because I’m super shy but I really want you to know that you’ve been my calm through a storm for the past 6 or so months. I’ve binged all of your videos over and over again. My 2 year old son and I were in a domestic violence shelter for the past 8 months after a 3 month hospital stay, and have just finally gotten our own place! Our lives were flipped upside down, and we are starting completely over. In the shelter, I listened to you and watched you constantly. Your voice is so calming to me. All of your “it’s oks,” “mistakes are going to happen, you’ll be fines” “everyone made these mistakes at least once” really calmed me down when things got overwhelming to me. I used them not only for my nail journey, but also for my life journey, and man do they help me. They still do. I’m about a month away from finishing nail school at 35. I would have never even thought of doing nails if one of your videos hadn’t popped up randomly one day. Everything happens for a reason. So I just want to say thank you! Obviously you’re still the channel I go to when I need calmed down because here I am. 😂 Your voice is just so soothing, but most of all, you’re SO ENCOURAGING and positive. You just make me feel like everything really will be ok. I don’t have any of my Nanas left or Mom, so I think you’ve been my guidance and motherly figure, as weird as that may sound? Even your background and the shirts you wear are so soothing to me. My baby even knows your voice at this point. 😂 Whenever we are fully on our feet, I’m totally buying all of your kits. I wouldn’t want anybody else’s! You’ve changed my life in many ways and I am beyond thankful for you! 🖤🖤 If you ever want to adopt a grown daughter, and a 2 year old grandson please pick us! 😂😂 I just wanted you to know that your channel is not only amazing for learning, but you’re also helping people in other ways. Your channel means more than you probably know! Hopefully I will do well in this industry. I would love to do RU-vid videos one day too. I really enjoy makeup, so I’d like to do a beauty channel. So you’ve even encouraged me to do that! From the bottom of my heart, thank you! I’ll be your biggest and most loyal customer one day!

When I was learning acrylic we practiced The beads on paper. We focused on learning powder to liquid Ratio We learnt to do The different sizes Beads First And then We Learn How to Smooth them. So Practis Is on one part at a time .

Suzie: "Don't work on yourself first." Me: *works on myself first* Live fast, die young.

acetone also eats plastic like solo cups :) i learned this yesterday with BOTH of my acrylic brushes tehe

Let me apologize in advance for the long story lol. I have always been the kind of person that picks up things very quickly, so in my 20s after only going to that nail salon a few times I picked up how to do them and started doing it myself (back then there was only glued tips with acrylic). Later in my 30s my career took off and being a single mother with 3 kids I had little to no time for nails. Fast forward to today, I am much older and I have gotten back into doing my nails. Geez Louise! Nails have come a long way since that time, lol and although I feel that many of your videos are designed for the current more advanced techniques, I find them very easy to follow, Thank you for that! 👍 You have everything from proper hand filing, to what files to use, wonderful techniques using uv gel, hybrid gel and or acrylic and I really appreciate your tutorials. Its of no surprise to me why you have so many followers. Thank you so much for all the hard work you put into your videos that help older folks like me. Keep up the good work! 🥂🎉🎊

ijust started doing nails. as a person in recovery it's important to have hobbies. well this is my hobbie turned passion. i can sit and practice nails and watch videos and all of a sudden 8 hours have gone by. i'm kind of mad at myself to purchasing a cheap starter kit on amazon. before i purchased the starter kit , i was working with polygel, so i do have a lot of tools, but i decided i want to learn acrylic and the acrylic, monomer and brushes are horrivble :( i really wish i could afford your starter kit ! maybe i'll ask my parents for my birthday lol but i really cannot wait to become maybe as good as you. your videos are my go-to for anything nails. thank you for doing this and having a soothing voice that makes it so much easier to follow along lol You're the best 🤍

Hello Suzie, I was watching older videos and ran across the one of you fixing a very downward curve. I have very long natural nails and they curve up. Is there any fix for that? My nails are much longer past the end of my fingertip than the length of my bed. By the way, thanks for teaching me how to do chrome nails. I used cosmetic grade mica powder. If there was a way to send you pics or videos so I could show you what my problem is, I would. Thanks, Tara

What drives me crazy most is watching people use acrylic but NOT leaving it alone for a beat after they drop the bead. Then they’re claiming there must be something wrong with the acrylic that it’s separated & come back together on the nail as they immediately drop it, spread it & worked it around. Um, no. You did not leave it alone to allow the powders initial chemical reaction with the monomer to fully occur before you tried to work with it. That bead wasn’t mature enough to be worked with yet. You’re applying it wrong by rushing the process. So many other things are adversely effected by this early mistake, they’re not getting the right thickness at the apex because they’re chasing it all around and it’s moving everywhere else except where it should have stayed. Which causes many to pile on entirely too much acrylic as they try to get it right with adding more acrylic but rush to spread every bead they lay down 😒 They’d have to do far less work and even get it done quicker if they’d just slow down and take care to not skip any steps. Especially that early step with laying the bead down where you need it to be and leaving it alone for a beat before you try to push it into place and blend. Doing that only creates more work for themselves and prolong the time the customer is sitting in their chair.

I can't do acrylic liquids, I'm allergic to a liquid. I've developed a gel allergy so I can't do that anymore. The only thing I've been able to do is dip nails. The glue doesn't bother me. I like them. I use alcohol to dehydrare and clean. Sticks well and wears a long time. I'm so grateful there is something I can use.

I started on my own nails at first but have been able to teach myself and my teqnique is much better . Ive been doing my nails for about 8 years now but yes my nails were wonky at first

This video honestly helped me so much I'm just learning about acrylics and I made the mistake of using fast setting monomer and all my nails came out wonky until I started using the odorless monomer and the difference was insane and the techniques that Susie taught were so helpful!!!🙌

Future short video idea/ suggestion for your channel, perhaps? You work on the outside of the nail, cuticle & skin, right? Do you know anything or have an opinion on what goes _inside_ of us to strengthen or improve our nails? You know, to keep them healthy & strong? Is eating/ consuming Jello or collagen a big ol' myth to take our money? Do you even bother with this sorta stuff or do you avoid it, so as to not promote a possible scam? This can be a very tricky area so _maybe,_ you could just make a quick call & set up a future collab with Doctor Mike on THIS topic?? That _would_ be great! **Hey now, a gal can dream about that collab, can't she?? 😂😂😂 🤞🍀

Received the low odor monomer 2 days early! Thank you!!

Suzie you are the best. Thank you for always being available to teach.

I love that you go into so much detail when explaining things! Knowing the how and why when learning something is so incredibly helpful, thank you!

What are you wearing on your left hand? I LOVE the color ❤

11:15 What's an Alcohol? Is that what it's called? I never bought this before.... help?

Note you tell me not to work on myself first

I've seen so many people on TikTok use the runny bead and because to me you're an educator and a nail tech I trust what you say when doing acrylics.

Hi. Are these classes available on line? Thank you. 😊

Sweet Suzie you have taught me so much about nails. Thank you ❤

I have just started acrylics on my nail course so this couldn’t have come at a better time 😆 currently been shown the 3 bead method, it defo does not come naturally & the filing for the final snap is so hard.. I always end up losing my apex😅 practise, practise, practise!

WAIT! So you can use acrylic brushes with monimor? I thought it would melt the fibers rendering the brush usless after one application! 😦 This is incredibly helpful!

🌺 🌺 🌺 🌺 🌺 🌺 🌺 🌺 🌺 Happy Spring Equinox 🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🐇🐇🐇🐇🐇🐇🐇🐇🐇🐇🐰🐰🐰🐰🐰🐰🐰🐰🐰🐰🐰🐰🐰

When learning would you recommend a pinched brush or just round

What do you have on your own nails?? So pretty! Glad I found your channel 😊

I'm waiting for my monomer in the mail and than I'm going to start teaching my self how to do acrylic I already got pretty good at poly gel so I hope I am able to do acrylic

I wish i could afford the kit i would love to try her kit... i have tried other poly kits that were not good i would love to review this product on RU-vid channel... i would also love to take her classes

I would like to see a video on doing my own nails with my less dominate hand

Excellent helpful video - so informative, just exactly what I needed!

Suzy, does the brush come ready to use? Or do I have to fiddle with it before I can use it? You know, like cleaning it for 1/2hr (2-3 hrs for me, just saying). My brush Always gets gunked up with acrylic wahhh😩

Anyone know what could be going on? Maybe it’s just me. Last blog date is 2021. When I go to her website her store is empty and many of her social links do not work. Anyone else having the same problem?

Hi Suzie! Love your video and I'd like to know what number of grit has the medium and fine file, please 💫

I know nothing about nails so I'm trying to get more into it. Never had my nails done before because of work. Suzie what kind of nails do you have on?? If you don't mind me asking.

are the tips for the practice finger reusable? and if so, how should i clean them without melting the plastic? (assuming they are plastic) if anyone has some tips on practicing and cleaning just to get as much out of the practice finger and practice tips as possible!!

Madam I am watching and listening I am from Pakistan country

Suzie, when forming, how do you accommodate for flat/irregularly shaped nail plates? Personally, when looking "down the barrel" two of my nails grow nice and arched, two very flat, and my middle finger grows kinda like half of a pentagon! Any recommendations?

after my acrylic application when I try to buff it. it starts coming out like peeled off!! So what should i do to level up and make it plain

But the brush is not perfect for it ... Better with Kolinsky Brush !!!

I’m new just learning the nail tech trade … can you add glitter to your acrylic powder ?

Shes such a good teacher

I have a question so once the bead is on the nail can you dip your brush back in the monomer and then go back to the bead to flatten it out on the nail if you happen to do a dry bead the first time?

Why do you use synthetic brushes over an actual kolinsky brush?

I got 12 wonderful colors of acrylic for a 5$ flash sale at makartt with half tips , brushes and all. I got the Mia monomer but now I'm considering slow setting bc I wanna follow bead practice with you in this video. Hoping I pick up on it, my nail salons were charging me 80$ for short acrylic nails with no art or gems just pink acrylic AND 70$ for a full when I was told it's 40% the original nail cost so I'll do it myself!! Watch me learn RQ 😅

wait so we run the nail under cold water or the brush? (timestamp 19:40)

Wow I will love to learn more from video mam🙏

What am I doing wrong when there is nothing getting on you're brush, 😢

What the best odourless Monomer I use nsi and it smell gives me headaches x

I am watching and i want to learn, it's a shame that they don't ship to where i live 😭

Just now ordered the odorless monomer. I've had to do only gel for two years because of the smell of monomer, and it makes my husband deathly ill. I'll still have to work outdoors, away from the house though. Love your videos!

Great video.

Suzie, your videos are so relaxing

Hey Suzie! Could you and Camera man show your set up for filming and how that works? Not all the details and secrets but maybe enough to help a nail vlogger who’s starting out and wants their videos to look more professional.

Great tutorial!

Hey Suzie,i hope you're well, Suzie do you ship any of you're products internationally?

Beautiful ❤️😍

I love how you do nails they always come out beautiful, wish I could have a teacher like you especially your nail art are AMAZING and love your calm voice. Love your channel. Blessings Jeannie DeerHealer 🦌💅

Sorry but no disrespect but that's wasting alot of monomer keep dipping in and out and wiping it off

Suzie, Thank you!!! I do not know how much to file off...because I (right now) am too heavy handed & often file off my hard work...(when I write~I write hard too) I have to be very conscience to make sure that I do not do that! Is there an easier way? Please & I Thank you for your Education! :)

This is so helpful. Thank you so much. (Personal note) I'm in my 20s and have had to stay home due to heart failure. Slowy things are getting better. And doing my nails has given me so much. It makes me so happy to have a creative outlet. And your videos are so educational. When I get back on my feet I will get your full collection of products. No one else offers videos with usable information. Thank you!❤

great video

I've learn so much on your videos❤️❤️thank you for making beautiful videos and for sharing your experiences and different techniques with us❤️💕love it🥰

Thank you for teaching us but me I want to use your product. How can I get them ❤

I have trouble with gel believe it or not lol I find acrylic if you have the proper brush and of course correct monomer to powder ratio acrylic nails are easier for me but iv always been that way I get the hard things but not the easy but I also have a thinner gel from morovan. Also is there a difference between acrylic dehydrator and primer and gels dehydrator and primer? I use mine for both systems but was just wondering ❓I forgot I also use your slow setting monomer and your acrylic I purchased the 100 dollar set and love it ❤❤❤❤

Hi Suzie! I love your videos. I also like your nails in this video! A super white milky color and a great shape. Happy Easter from Vienna

hey suzie, i learn a lot from your videos. thank you for that. but i am having problems after i put acrylic on the nails to file it right. only when i put gel on the finger i see that the shape is not right. one angle is high and the other low. how can i file the nails right - the correct way and notice if it good

Thank you for these vids..I am not a nail tech but I love getting my nails done..You have got yourself q new subbie

what can i use instead monomer?

I've been watching your videos for a couple years and I am still learning about acrylic nails I think I'm getting a little better

I was never able to pick up acrylic because my school never taught us properly. When I wanted to give it a try one more time I learned that I’m allergic to the smell. After this video it makes me want to learn again

Thank you so much for doing this video I used to do my own acrylic nails way back when lol due to the cost but I never got my nails to look anything close to yours I love your videos

When you adhere the nail to the plastic can it be removed or is it permanent?

Doing my own acrylics and your voice is so encouraging and soothing!

Nice

Do you find with the swipe method for placing the bead, that the thinner part starts to set faster? Does it matter? Love your videos 🥰

Bogisich Turnpike

I love how your dehydrator and primer have their order of use written on the bottle

Is it okay cure acrylic one then add more and cure again?
