Susie I commented back in 2021 about how I was pregnant with my first baby and watching your videos to take my mind off of the morning sickness. You shared how tough your pregnancies were. Well here I am, 2 years later, pregnant with baby number 2 and yet again binging old and new videos to take my mind off the morning sickness! 😂 Your videos are a great distraction and so so entertaining, pregnant or not!

I had a nail tech use cuticle nippers to remove my acrylics. When I said it was painful the tech simple said "Oh it's not really that bad." I never went back. Now I do my own nails and hand file when I want to remove the acrylic.

I have surgery tomorrow and I didn’t know I wasn’t allowed to have nails on until I just had a phone call with my mum and she said. I am lucky enough to have had some hundred percent acetone lying around so I’m going to try and use it now. I’ve just watched your whole video and it was so helpful. Thank you so much for your help.

That’s why I’m doing my own nails now, I’m traumatized by getting my nails off when I go to the nail salon. I’ve never had a tech that removed the product like that, they always rip off with a tip. Thank you so much for showing the right way ❤

[megancable]

I literally ripped mine off… then found your YouTube channel. I wish I did more research. I haven’t had acrylic since early 2010s. I got them done and then realized I didn’t want them. But then I found some to do at home. I so glad I found your channel! ❤

[julievaldez]

I think so many nail techs in my area do this. For so long I didn’t even know you were supposed to file them down. When I would ask them to properly remove it, they would even roll their eyes or give me a hard time. They don’t actually care about the integrity of your nails, they just care about the next customer and getting everyone in and out quickly.

I lived in Ontario when I first started watching you a couple years ago. I took a break from my DIY nail journey as I had my 4th baby. Now I live in Alberta and am resuming my nail education. I just had the thought of "OMG! I'm only one province away from Suzie now!" I could realistically attend one of your workshops one day! It's definitely a dream of mine as you have helped me more than you know when it comes to acrylics. Thank you for all you do for us! ❤

For soak offs, I invested in a cheap USB mug warmer on Amazon. It warms my coffee cup (because I hate cold instant coffee) and it doubles as an acetone warmer in colder months, haha. Best $20 I ever spent.

You just helped me out so so much. I am self teaching myself acrylics at home gm for me and my daughter. We both have damaged nails bc of bad techs. So learning how to remove safely is my #1 priority. Thank you so much.

ALL the nail places in our area(Midwest) use tips/floss & when you ask them not to do that they get angry because, yes it takes more time, but I’ve literally had part of my nail bed ripped off from being ripped off with a nail tip. I had to go to Urgent Care where they had to remove my entire nail😤🤬 which really hurt, EXTREMELY. But thanks to Suzie & her store I now can do them myself & have zero problems with ripping, thing/brittle nails or fungus growing under the product🤢. But to anyone reading this, they cannot rip off your nails, if they refuse to soak or buff off then get up & leave. Call around & ask nail techs how they remove nails & you’ll find someone who takes the time to do it correctly. I’ve lost four nails to nail techs doing it the “fast, so they can get more clients in way” & the other three were to fungus growing due to my natural nail trying to heal & being trapped under product & without your natural nail being able to breathe it’ll become infected. Hope this helps people, by scaring them, sorry😅 but don’t let it happen to you. It’s weeks/months of painful regrowth. And as always ❤ your helpful videos

I watched this video because I wanted my nails removed. Mind you, I've only had them filled less than two weeks. The person that did my nails I told her not too thick. I don't think she understood. Well, they were too thick and painful. Remarkably, one popped off. I'm glad I found your filing off method and soaking method. I used a combination of both, and it took me two hours still to get these off. My nail beds ache. I don't think I will be getting acrylics any time soon. Fine with me, I'll be saving money. I'll definitely baby my nails for now on.

[sandeepettit]

I just use the file off method out on the patio. Did all ten fingers. Going to put a new set on later. I've been doing nails for over 45 years. Will take me about 25 minutes to put a new set on and file! If I do somebody else it takes longer cuz I talk😂❤❤❤ thank you for the continued education you put out there for nail techs. It is crucial to keep the service safe for everyone.

Thank you so much for this video Suzie. I've been watching your videos not only to relax, but also figure out how to do my nails on my own. I live in an area where I don't have access to nail artists but want beautiful healthy nails. Thank you for your videos.

[CozyQueen_]

Thanks for this education. I trusted the nail salon to know what they were doing. They were aggressive taking the acrylics off with a plastic nail tip and my nail bed was so sore. They used the file thing too and it must have been too high because my nails were burning. I'm doing my own nails from now on. I'm educating myself first.

I agree about the wait time to remove with acetone is a tedious process but I have to share a way that I was shown that if someone wants a total removal for whatever reason this worked very well for me. Just like you mentioned that warmth helps speed up the process. I would fill a large to medium bowl ( big enough to hold my hands)with quite warm water then put a couple pieces of paper towel in a large ziplock bag and pour about a 1/2 cup of acetone into the ziplock bag. Submerge the bottom of the bag in the warm water and place your hands into the paper towel soaked ( with acetone) and run your fingers into the paper towel. It’s just abrasive enough to run layers of product off in ( for me) about 10 min. ❤ love this video. Your looking great 😊
PS. I have even put a heating pad on low under the bowl of water to keep it warm.

Thank youuu I was scared to pay to get them removed at a salon in case they damaged my nails and I'm so glad I found this video I'd much rather buy the tools and remove myself the filing method looks so simple thanks!

[debbydubois]

I've seen so many saying they use dental floss or something to pry them off ..I tell them every time DO NOT USE THAT METHOD.. YOURE TARING LAYERS OF YOUR NATURAL NAILS OFF . And it's always a good idea to do a base layer of clear to file down to rather that total removal every time because some change them every few days. And acetone is so harsh when used that often

[FH-zbzp]

Had a removable of acrylic nails. First soaked in acetone and then the nail tech used a nail tip to popped them off. It was painful and couple of my nails were sensitive. Thank you for sharing!

[thypham]

As someone with ace tone sensitivity, I prefer the nail file/drill method! Great tip with having a base that you don’t remove!!

[cathysmith]

Hello my dear Friends!!! What a great video! I see a lot of people in my area that rip their acrylics and then complain the acrylic ruined their nails. I'm going to pass this video to a few of my Friends, hope you don't mind ❤💋
