I have 2 new Live Nail Workshops coming up February 21 & 28:
https://bit.ly/Suzies-Nail-Workshop–Live-on-Zoom
I just realized you don’t use a dust collector?
So pretty❤ you are an artist.😊
Reminds me of the ruby slippers from Wizard of Oz
Suzie I'm so excited to see a super long video I can literally watch you and listen to you all day!!! Your my absolute favorite ❤❤❤❤
Beautiful 😍 Oh you can use different products at one time to build a nail? Thanks for sharing. ❤️❤️❤️✨️
Love to see encapsulated nails! It’s like having faceted jewels on your fingertips 😍. Enjoyed spending time with your cousin, thanks!
What nail polish are you wearing in the video? The pink?
I love this guest/client! She has great energy with Suzie and is so funny and enjoyable! Would be lovely to have her back on a future video! Maybe to give her review of how she likes hybrid gel versus her usual acrylic. 🙂
Perfection. ❤❤👌
Please film her next set. She's fabulous ❤
so pretty
Your colour is so pretty, Suzy! 💜
This is a genuine question, Why does the nail get that orange/yellow colour around the outside when the nails grow out? is it just some dirt or discolouration stuck around the nail? Beautiful nail design by the way 💜
Sooo excited to see a long form video Suzie!! Happy 2026 from your biggest fan in NZ!! ❤❤❤
watching the removal of the previous colors I was wondering – could you make a set, where the colors look like they do when you file the colors of? I mean like e. g. around 14:08 where we can see the top red with a slight silver line and the black underneath? I kind of really love the look of that <3
I have a question. Why would someone choose gel over acrylic or hybrid gel. Acrylic nails are the strongest, and hybrid gel is easiest to work with, so I'm wondering what are the benefits of gel? I'm thinking of learning how to do my nails and can't decide what product to start with.
Hi 🥰"Suzie"🥰 luv absolutely gorgeous as always thanks for sharing and showing much love always 💅🏾💕💕💕
Can we just note the 6 week retention of 10 of 10. And Kels nails in tip top shape. Bad mamma jamma
This set is gorgeous! Love to watch you work, you are so good at teaching. Thank you for sharing your talents with us.
Great video. Beautiful nails ❤❤❤
How long do you think something like this should take to do?
They remind me of the Ruby slippers that Dorothy wears
I to love the longer videos, 💕 so much fun!
Beautiful!
Absolutely beautiful nails.
French and glitter!? Such a perfect combo! Beautiful work Suzie!!
I LOVE those nails Suzie! I was recently gifted a selection of acrylics from another local Nail YouTuber so I’m going to check and see what I have to create something like this for myself for Valentine’s Day. They are beautiful! I was shocked when you said you were carving out that smile line on a 1rpm. My efile wouldn’t even buff a natural nail on a 1. Wow!
So pretty, thank you for the longer videos
