❤❤❤ Susie, I’m 5 minutes in a 4yo video and already learning something. Thank you ❤

This system has honestly been a revolution for me, I've worn 6 sets of Gel X nails on myself so far and I've applied 2 sets on clients. I've got the technique/product amount down to a T so I never have issues with it spilling out the sides, I always file the cuticle down to a perfect blend with first a carbide bit (or hand file) and then a natural nail cuticle bit so the grow out is totally smooth. All 3 of us got solid 3 week wear with 0 lifting whatsoever (and I didn't even file inside the tip, that extend gel is the strongest adhesive gel I've ever encountered, I use it for my crystals now too and I wore a full set of solid pixie crystals for 3 weeks without losing a single gem even though I was working on clients the whole time). I'm a pretty good sculptor and forms are my forte but what this system has really done for me is save me time. I can apply a set of Gel X nails from prep to polish in 1-1.5 hours flat while a sculpted full set takes me 2-3 hours and the Gel X nails soak off completely in 20 minutes tops (compared for 30-40 minutes for acrylic). I offer Gel X to my clients as an "express full set", for the clients who want perfectly shaped and filed extensions but don't want to sit for upwards of 2 hours and for the clients who would rather I spend more time on intricate surface nail art rather than spend 4+ hours on a creative acrylic set. With the skills of a proper nail tech, this product absolutely can be mastered to perfection.

Aye, Suzie.. your voice is literally the most calming thing on this planet.

Suzie I am now using gel x full nail coverage and I agree with you that the cuticle part is to thick. I tried attaching the nail a little above the cuticle and then I used clear builder gel over the entire nail and put a very thin layer from the cuticle area to the tip and it as it grows out the cuticle area is even with my nail. Thought I would share this with you in case you haven’t tried it L❤V you Suzie . You’re my inspiration! Your follower Cindee from California.

😍 *Love this kit!! I found that if I put on a sculpting form first, I don't have to worry about applying too much gel because it won't flood the back of my free edge with the form on. Also, for the ten second initial cure, I turned the light upside down on the table and was then able to hold the tip down by pinching the very tip, so that the whole nail bed was exposed to the light and would cure evenly. Beautiful set! Tfs!!*

This is just genius. I love it. Might get me a set, and do my nails myself. It's like having pressed on nails with a salon set feel. I love everything about it.

For maximum adhesion you would want to scuff the nail tip to the length of your own nail. I just love this system! I always start with sizing the entire set. Then scuffing them all before I apply. Saves a ton of time. You can use a fine nail file or bit to go around the cuticle and remove any gel that may have oozed

Its funny to me you mentioned the cuticle area on these being a little messy. I was honestly impressed LOL. I have NEVER gotten a professional acrylic set done in my life that had a smooth cuticle are. i'm usually spending about 75$ they aren't cheap. i still have to go home and file them down to get rid of the huge ridge that is at the cuticle. I have stopped going to get my nails done altogether because its too expensive to spend money on something that looks so poorly done and have to go back over the work again once I get home. This looks like such a cool game changer thanks for the demo Suzie!

You are amazing. I am 58 years old and I love to do my nails. I have learned so very much from you. You are the best educater of nail care and beautiful ways to design nails. I will continue to watch your videos. I wish I could get you to do my nails. You are so talented. Thank you for proving we all are never too old to learn. God bless you and your camera man.

She's so easy to watch. I don't even really do my nails ( have literally never had them done) but very interesting to watch. Especially during quarantine.

Hello Susie, love that you are helping us all be better nail tecks. The thing with the Apres kit is that it is important to remind your viewers to be careful with hurting the cuticle when applying the nail. If one isn't mindful they can damage the matrix of the nail if it is pushed on to hard or too far back into the cuticle. Just a note. Thanks

Your voice is so calming anytime im stressed or in a bad mental spot i gotta watch you for nails. Its just how you do your thing so professional and still relatable.

jeez, i was never really into nail art before the quarantine, but i needed something to focus on. suzie is just my favorite person to watch now. great nail info, gorgeous lady, and soothing voice. super informative for me.

I know this was from a year ago but from my experience with using these on myself, I always go in at an angle and press the tip down at the cuticle first and slowly add more pressure so the gel goes all the way to the free edge so that it minimizes bubbles and doesn’t squish out near the cuticle!

Do you use regular nail polish? Do you use gel nail polish (and then I guess you have to cure gel nail polish too right - on top of the fake nail?). Also, when they say “soak off”, does that mean in acetone? I’m sorry for all the questions, I was trying to find someone who had watched the video somewhat recently 😅. Thank you so very much regardless! 🥰

And yes the soak offs are done in acetone it basically melts the gel so that you don’t damage your nail by ripping or drilling the gel completely off. Hope this helped😊

Thank you so much. You are so pleasant and smart to learn from and funny! Thank you for your time!

I love working with this product. Its great. Some great tips if you haven't heard yet. Less product on the tip, no worries about place it on there if theres bubbles since you'll push them out. You can also thin the cuticle area before on top lightly, when drilling the underside. And you can still drill the cuticle area at the end.

These babies are tough as nails (pun definitely intended lol) I Am really rough with my hands as I do Instacart shopping for groceries all day bagging and delivering groceries is pretty hard on the nails and I’ve never once had one of the Aprés nails break or pop off. I love these and I’ll never go to the mail salon again. Another plus is the sculpted ones give you such a beautiful c curve and if you file them down to a natural almond shape they literally look like they are growing out of your skin that way. So natural and gorgeous I love them. Totally worth the money. I also wouldn’t recommend getting a dupe either. You pay good money for these for a reason. The dupes aren’t gonna be as strong or as quality of a material as these are. Well worth every penny.

thank you so much Suzie for taking time to do all those super videos. I am still a beginner, but getting better cause of you !!

I have been waiting for years for you to demo this kit!!! This company has come a LOOOONNGGG way with their nail designs (shape and length). I got one of the very first kits and they only had short square and short round... they were flat, awkward and not so great. My nail bed ways almost as long as the extension nails. Doing my own was a challenge, but I got better over time. Also, the gel in the bottle used to be in a pot which was a nuisance and messy. I am so happy to see how they have listened to customers and made an attempt to keep up with the nail shape and length trends. I have seen many techs who offer this service to clients who want an alternative to acrylic and traditional gel. One thing I wish they would have expressed in the instructions (for the purpose of beginners) is to select and rough up the inside of the nails in advance. This eliminates the possibility of getting dust in the finished product. Overall I LOVE this product. This is a great service to offer that fairly quick once you get the hang of how it goes. I’m a tech who loves acrylic but be has I am a grad student, these are a wonderful alternative. THANK YOU SUZIE FOR DOING THIS VIDEO

She's mentioned before that she files her extensions off instead of soaking and she leaves a thin layer of product on the nail each time so that she doesn't file down to the actual natural nail. This way, the new growth area is the only part of the nail getting filed when she preps them. In order to do this though, you need a nail tech whose prep is absolutely perfect and catered to your nail type/physiology so that you don't have any lifting to remove for each fill. Most of the clients who come to me to get fills on work that was done by other techs have around a quarter of the contact area of their extensions (right around the cuticle) lifted, so I have to remove the lifted parts in order to fill the set.

It's also worth noting that the quality of the drill itself matters, you need to be able to get the drill to a speed where it's effective but doesn't burn the client without the bit stalling out on you. I also recommend 80 grit hand files for removing or debulking acrylic. And for removing lifting specifically, I like to use my Enail Couture Pink Diamond Cuticle bit turned up to a higher speed than I would use on the natural nail so that I can very precisely carve out the lifted bits and blend down the remaining edge.

Yesssss, please

Honestly when it comes to suzies videos, I could do with out the background music. She’s so calming I enjoy the “dead air”

You did an amazing job Mrs. Suzie thanks luv for sharing and showing much love always 💅💕💕💕

Apres nails is great, a huge improvement over any other system for the DIYer. You can also use their tips with a bead of acrylic, I've been doing this now for half a year or so, but I have to put out this warning - the natural nail will lift from your nail bed if you cure with their gel any more than the specified time! Be VERY careful about the timing. I went 15 seconds longer, took me months to grow out the damage, thought I had a acquired a fungus from how bad it was, and I'm not allergic to the product.

So like a new spin off to the press on nail. I love it 😍

Love, Love, Love! Thank You Suzie. Your Nails look Absolutely Beautiful.

Thank you SOOOOOOOO much!!! I’ve been doing my own nails since I was 16/17 in the 80’s. I started with acrylics but my skin would itch, burn, & peel... in my late 30’s I started getting gels professionally until the products were available cheaply to the public. At almost 50, gel is doing the same thing!!! No one has explained that it’s called contact dermatitis!!!! You’re videos are the best! Your voice is sooooo soothing and calming. After a rough day, you’re videos are like taking anti anxiety meds! PS.... just until the past few years, I’ve used a Dremel! Shhhhhhh! I don’t recommend!

I want to try this system so bad 😭 love you Suzie

Carmen A do it!!! I do mine myself (not a professional) and they stay on for 4-5 weeks. They are beautiful and so easy to use

I love this system!I prop my 48watt lamp on some glass bowls,so I can fit my hand & hold down the nail at the same time.I tried the little lamp for flash curing, but was having trouble keeping them on for a week.Now that I fully cure for the 30sec on my big lamp, they last 3 or more weeks.Thank you for your time Susie 💅👏👏

I saw some nail clips I thought were for this type of thing to hold gentle pressure. Anyone ever try them?

I love this! What a great demonstration! Beautiful video, very instructional and educational in a fun way! Thank you!

wow i love this video! thorough explanation (especially for beginners like me), showing various angles and high quality! love love

this is the best type of video to watch when ur high. Im ur biggest fan

You can minimize the amount of product that gets squeezed out at the cuticle area by not applying as much near the edge. During application just keep the product a smidge away from the edge of the tip.

i have my natural nails hella long but i still watch susie because she’s amazing :’)

This is literally my new favorite nail system!! Especially for people like me who are not professionals and do their own nails!!

I've definitely used a dremel on my acrylic nails 😊 but I did use a med grit sander band like suzie suggested and I used it low lol

Love the instructions on the side! Perfect for screenshots so I can look while doing them myself. Please continue in future videos!

Love your videos! Recently got back into working as a nail technician. There is always something new to learn.

Love that ur on top of the latest trends!! I've been thinking about trying this

The neon chrome nails you did also work well with a few coats of gel polish to reveal more colours along the drill line. It’s super cool with chrome polishes.

I had a set of these put on. The girl had no excess squirt out. I think that comes with practice. They held up very well! When they started growing out I just filled with gelish system twice before soaking off.

You actually should not do that, e-files made for nails are specifically made to produce less vibration and prevent damaging the nail. I mean do what you want, but nail tech cringing over here ....

I have the Beetles collection. I love it. The light is easy to use and works quickly.

LOVE that it's all gel! I'm super excited to try this!

Hi Suzie! If you don't have a round tip or an electric nail file, use a straw! Tear off the end, just one layer, of a cardboard nail file. Apply double-sided tape or a drop of glue to the paper side, and wrap it around the end of a straw. Voila! You have a round nail file! Enjoy! 💖A

Hi, I was wondering if you could do a video where you show how to clean your hand files and other nail tools, for the people doing their nails at home?

@vcamie8755

You should not be cleaning and reusing files, unfortunately files really are one use items even if your re-using them on yourself. They can harbor bacteria and you will spread it from nail to nail. This is what happens when you get a greenish-brown-black spot under the enhancement, it's a bacterial infection. Just buy a cheap pack of 100/180 files and use a new one each time. For stainless steel tools, you can buy barbicide and mix it according to the directions, water first and then add the disinfectant to the water. Scrub debre from the tools and soak. Tools must soak for ten minutes, then rinse and dry. That is the proper way to do it if you really want to do it right.

@@vcamie8755 I saw an stainless steel file, with "stickers" that were the actual file. I thought that might be better, because you only have to take off the sticker, desinfect normally the steel, and then put on a new one! Less material to throw out, a little bit more friendly to the environment

Great tutorial Suzie! This is great for beginners who wants to step up from gel manicure.

Omg Susie. You are brilliant. I was looking up contact dermatitis when you mentioned it and that’s the reason why every time I get acrylic done, I get an allergic reaction and I was never allergic before. It started happening 2 years after I started doing them. That’s a very interesting concept.

can you do a review how they grow out and how they stay on ? =) :D

They grow out Same as acrylic but no lifting and much longer ! I had a client go 8 weeks !!! Before a new set ! I usually go 3 weeks before I get bored too !

i just noticed that me and suzie are wearing the same swarovski crystal ring and i screeched XD

Omg I watched one of your videos four years ago and then I could never find you again until now. Thanks to Cristine 🤩

I love this system I have had them on for 3 weeks and they are still strong

I came across this brand a couple of weeks ago. And I was like I really hope Susie does a review on this! My prayers have been answered lol

Just want to say i love this channel! I used your dip powder step by step to do my own nails from home and honestly i dont see me ever needing the salon again!
