it’s so easy to make “mistakes” around the cuticle and most nail techs in salons don’t do perfect cuticle work either. it takes lots and lots of practice and it’s totally okay to see a lip or edge when it grows out some! like she said, don’t beat yourself up over it, encourage yourself to do better next time and leave the past where it belongs; in the past.

@@actuallyallison4931 ehhh it's not really "ok" to send someone home with sub par work when they are paying full price, if you're giving discounts and they know you're still practicing then fine but if I go to a professional place their shouldn't be a lip because that causes lifting which costs you the client more money in the long run because instead of being able to just pay for a fill you gotta pay to fix a lifted nail before you can get a fill. I think it's a little risky for her to be basically saying don't worry if you're messing up on cuticles on paying customers cuz then some of y'all are like ok good I don't have to worry if it's messed up, no you need to fix it before they leave! You should always be leaving a hair line between the cuticle and nail so you should have enough room to file the cuticle ... IDK don't just be ok with doing half way decent work, perfect the cuticle!

Awesome ! We called this technique a “buff out” in the 90’s. I still offer buff outs for my clients who like to go longer between fills and who are not as rough on their hands. When you said you tell your clients not to use their nails as tools it reminded me of my instructor who would often repeat this phrase “ Your nails are jewels, not tools” ! Took me right back . I love your videos and am so proud and happy for you. Thank you for your time and awesome tips. 💓

Thank you SO much for explaining about how the length of a person's nail bed can factor into how long nails would last before lifting or growing out. I always thought I was doing something wrong, and it's never once dawned on me about how short my nail bed is along with having short nails to begin with. With that quick tid-bit, you've given me the motivation to keep going with my practice and progress! Love your videos!

I am so dealing with this right now! I did my nails for the first time with Polygel. Burano kit from Amazon. It went really well. I’ve done acrylics a few times for special occasions. Let me tell you doing polygel was the hardest thing to do in my whole life. I made fancy cakes, BBQ meat, fix my car myself, all kinds of stuff but this is the HARDEST things I’ve ever done! Hats off to you! I’m getting a drill, doing by hand is for the birds.

The more you do the better they look but .. I end up going in after I take off the form and fine tuning it . I noticed if I make a worm of the gel on the form instead of a bead it works MUCH BETTER.. and instead of having to drag it .. you just pat it out to the side edges using an alcohol dipped brush. When I do it this way there is less fine tuning in the end: look up a method call the lazy girl method … you leave the full cover extension on. This looks easier.. I’m trying it next time

This was the video I needed at just the right time! I used the Femi Beauty method to put on tips last week and wanted to redo the design this week. This was the perfect method to clean up the cuticles and get them prepped for the new design - they look better than when I first did them with perfectly smooth cuticles!

Love watching your videos and love how these nails turned out tysmfs 💖💗

Love them and a great technique. Thanks suzie 🥰💅🏻

I'm a little late to the party but I just did this to my tips and repainted them. I watched this video and figured I would try. I bought just some clear full coverage tips and gel base and tried that. I went 2 weeks, then the backs were making me think I was going to have to take them off but after this video, Suzie saved my nails. And now I'm on week 4 and they still look good. And I'm not very easy on my nails.

I do this! I do my own poly gel, and I don’t use any nail polish or gel over them, just top coat. I normally file any spots and just make sure to top coat again and it can get me a few extra WEEKS between fills! Didn’t even know it was known as a mini manicure thank you suzie!!

Thank you for this! I tried it today and it worked perfectly 😊

Girl I am so glad you posted this I’m having this same issue right now!!!!

I love your videos,they’re so educational,a big hug from 🇲🇽 🥺❤️

Thank You Suzie. I needed this advice 🙌

This was literally my problem rn thank you Suzie!!!

I've been doing this for a bit over 10 years. My friends always thought I had gone to the nail salon again. This is an excellent technique. I wouldn't do it too many times as it can be really bad if the strength and integrity of the nail extension gets compromised. I broke a nail right down the middle when my car door kinda slammed on it. It was the same day I had done a cuticle clean up. Worst pain. Just makes sure that apex is still strong ladies/gents! Which she does mention it all depends on the nail bed and the growth rate. It also depends on how thin/weak/strong are our own nails underneath the extension. Thank you Susie for teaching us so many things over the years 🥰 you are my mentor and I love watching your videos! Also appreciate that you mention Holo Taco 🌮! I love you💞
