I appreciate the calmness in this video. No shouting, over excitement, loud voices etc. Just simple and to the point. Thank you

My fav thing about you is your voice! You’re unique on YT bc you are so chill. Never anxiety-inducing. Always such a generous, open spirit. Always so patient. You give important information to novices but without condescending. You don’t know me but for years I’ve felt like you’re genuinely here to help me be my very best.

I have had issues in the past with the gel polish being too thick. The problem was the gel polish. It would get old or too thick in the bottle and hands down the best method I found for fixing this was simply soaking the bottle in hot water. I take water out of my coffee pot and just soak the bottom portion in the water for a minute. It returned to being nice and thin and applied amazingly well.

As a picky nail client. I appreciate you using the pickiness to grow. It is a really positive outlook.

As someone who literally just started using gel polish, this video couldn't have come at a better time lol I just did an easter mani with builder gel as my overlay on my natural nails and I had the shape somewhat okay but they were nice and smooth, now they look a little thick and lumpy, I now realize I went too heavy with my first coat, I happen to have a gel brush so I think ill also give that a try next time! Thank you for sharing! Happy Easter 💜

I was a picky client paired with a fantastic nail technician who knew me so well that she always made me happy and proud to show off her fantastic talents! I appreciate teachers like you that help me understand techniques so I can better my own efforts at home!

[thatone]

picky client here, I really appreciate your videos and advice to new nail tech students and your philosophy about using the criticism to improve your product applies everywhere in life, great tip!

For those of you new to using a drill be sure to file lightly and keep the bit parallel to the nail. Otherwise you may carve into the natural nail. It doesn't take much.

I am so mad I needed this like weeks ago. 😩 Bless up Suzie I definitely needed the tips! I always end up with bulky nails and never understood how you guys did it. I’m excited to try again

[rmjerome]

I feel like the music selection of this video makes this so fun, entertaining, and educational. I feel like I’m finding out a major key-thank you so much! I was just thinking about how I may need a bit like that and yours shows up you’re an angel.💜💜💜

Suzie, how did you know this is EXACTLY what I needed today?? I sculpted my nails last night while I rewatched your video about making your nails look thinner (file the top side!) last night while sculpting. I was just about to search for a video like this and you were first on my recommended! 😍

[Angela-lbzi]

Thank you so much. The thick look gel polish gives my nails that I've spent a lot of time shaping just drives me crazy! This method may be a little more time consuming but so worth it in the end.

[mireille]

for anyone who doesnt want to or can’t get a dedicated gel brush you could also do the edges and free edge capping FIRST then do the colour application over the entire main nail

[DenisejohnNailEd]

Those are great tips for using gel . Looks beautiful .

[zuzanafellerova]

The quality of this video is just outstanding. I love the close up shots and basically every post production aspect of the video.

[itsgettinweird]

It works! My gel polish application is typically messy and goopy. Switched to the gel brush and thin strokes and got the neatest application!

[s.featherstone]

Hi, I love your videos! I am that picky client, so picky I decided to learn how to do my own nails haha. So here I am watching all your vids. Those "picky tips" make me soooo excited !! Thank you for your great work!
