I LOOOOOVE creating nails with forms. Been doing it my entire career. In my opinion it's the most natural result. I break down the best ways to apply a form and the reason for how I do it.
My NEW Nail Forms and Acrylic Brushes are now available - to everyone, both DIY’s and Pro’s! 😀 I also have more surprises in my online store. Check it out:

I am so proud to introduce ‘the Button’. I have designed this form with guidelines for Almond, Square, Coffin, and Stiletto. ‘The Button’ is also longer to accommodate extra long nails. bit.ly/SuziesOnlineStore

I don't do nails. I worked as a makeup artist for years and was an educator. Since covid, I am obsessed with watching your videos! I love watching people who are passionate about what they do and are able to relay that passion while helping others. Thank you for teaching this, non-nail tech tips and tricks about doing the nails that I don't have! LOL

I just bought your forms and the new rose-gold collection today. I can’t wait to practice with “the button.” I have been practicing and experimenting, lol, with your slow monomer, and have become more comfortable with the liquid to powder ratio. I have been practicing on your worksheet and on false tips. I have not done live trials yet ☺️. When it becomes safe to travel again, and if, I hope, you continue to offer your courses, I would love to attend them. I will say, COVID has ignited my passion for acrylic and learning how to use other products like different types of gel. 💜 from Toronto!

I was just about to comment asking for this!!! I fell in love with long nails as a kid in the late 90s/early 2000s, when my friend's grandmother was a nail tech. Her nails were probably 3" long scoops! So different from today's straight nails, but will always be cemented in my brain as iconic!

Congratulations on your new forms and brushes... they really are cute as a button! This is one of the most helpful tutorials I've watched on using forms. I can't use them successfully, but it takes me forever and definitely more finish filing than I'd like. I'd love to get to the point where I'm quicker and using forms is my preferred method. I will definitely keep practicing and look forward to trying your new forms!

No matter how straight I do my nail forms - gently arching/ curving down the way Susie shows - when I finish and hold my finger perfectly straight at the knuckles, the nail seems to point upwards from the nail bed, at 45° to the side cuticle! I'm beginning to wonder if it is my fingers - my thumb bends backwards at 90° at the last knuckle, for example! The difficulty is that most photos are from above, so I can't get a good comparison...

Thank you for mentioning the form doesn't need to be fully tucked in. Some nails (like my index finger) have a tendency to grow crooked to the side, curved downwards or have a weird hyponychium. The shaping can take ages, and one can just build the nail, then file it underneath. ✨ Much faster!

My nails grow at an almost upward angle. The form just looks off no matter how I adjust it - from a side view. Because of this I've been using tips. I'd love to try forms because my nails are kinda narrow and flat, so I have a hard time getting tips to fit comfortably. Thank you for all you do! I've learned so much! I wish you were around 20 years ago when I graduated cosmetology school. 😅 I learned how to do a basic manicure, and that's about it. Even though I'm licensed to do nails, as well as hair and skin care, I would never attempt to do nails professionally. But, I've learned so much doing my own!

This video was a beaut!! I am a training nail tech and I cannot explain the frustration I feel when doing my own nails! I have quite wide, flat nails and so most tips don't work well for me as the sizing coupled with the curve of the tip is so hard to find a good fit for me. I bought some forms a while back to practice and as you mentioned some students do, I was SO obsessed with the form fitting snug around the whole nail that I would just get frustrated and throw them aside and settle for a tip that wasn't quite right! This video taught me a lot about what IS important when fitting forms, so now my next try i'll have a different outlook and hopefully over time I can master them! Thank you!!

Without the numbers I now have to make sure that I am at the first line or second line or third lying as I’m going moving on to each nail, and probably backtracking making sure but I am at the right line. I love the roundness of the form but I wish they had numbers. These little details help timing in salons. And time is money!! I know you know this Suzie, that’s why I was surprised these forms have no numbers. I’m going still buy these forms just because I love ❤️ me some Suzie 🥰💖
