Just before my mom passed away, my sisters and I offered to paint her nails. Mom was already non verbal and very near the end of her days on earth. One sister suggested hot pink, my other sister suggested Essie Ballet Slippers. The last word my mom ever spoke was "Ballet Slipper". Unfortunately, my Mother went to be with God a few hours later and we didn't have an opportunity to paint them. We brought the paint to the funeral home a few days later, determined to fufill her last request. When we went to the casket intending to paint them, nail polish bottle in hand, the funeral home had already painted them; in Ballet Slipper!!! We even had to ask to confirm and it was the exact same brand and the exact same color. Thank you Suzie for bringing me this surprise reminder of my mom. God works in mysterious ways.

I love that you used regular nailpolish for today's video 😊💕✨

I’m glad I found this video. Of all the people that show how to do ombrés you’re the only one I’ve seen that’s showed a close-up and tips, no pun intended, on specifics. Thank you so much! I love watching your natural nail videos.

I have learned so much from you. I can do my nails all at home. I've had professional nail techs check my nails over and be impressed with my techniques. I've even taught a few some of your techniques. It's all because of you. I only learn from you. And I tell everyone who wants to learn nails to check you out. You inspire me to become a professional. Thank you for all of the time you and cameraman dedicate to these tutorials.

I actually gasped when you put the box on the table. But then you threw it behind you, and I was at peace. So love this one. Shows us how to use regular product, found almost anywhere. I can hear Cristine in my head "dab, dab, dab, make your nails look fab" lol. I use the square bottom of the sponge, then I have the whole length of the sponge to hold onto, because I have big fat fingers 😂.

Whenever my mom yells at me for throwing stuff on the floor, I'll now answer with *I'M A PROFESSIONAL NAIL ARTIST, YOU WOULDN'T UNDERSTAND* 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂

Ombrés are one of my favourite things to do! Just a quick tip, if you use the top of the sponge instead of the side, you can cut the part with the polish out, and use the same one again as it will be nice and fresh!

Non-latex makeup sponges have smaller bubbles/holes so they leave less sponge markings in the gradient. Just did a dark purple/magenta gradient and got soooo many compliments in the office! If you have short nails with no tips grab liquid latex for your cuticles way less cleanup.

Cameraman is upping his editing game! The music is fantastic.

"Dab dab dab, make your nails look fab." 😂 Like if you understand.... Also, I just realized I wasn't the first person to comment this. Sorry!

FYI Essie Ballet Slippers is what the Queen wears.

Ballet slippers is the color that Queen Elizabeth II loves

Dab dab dab, make ur nails look fab! @simplynailogical 🤣

simplynailogical viewers been knew! 😉 thanks for the vid suzie!

Love when u throw the packaging! Wish I could! 😁😁😁😁😁

I started on your channel when you were at a mere 300k subscribers! I'm so proud to see how much this channel has evolved, as well as your technique with polishes and explaining the process! And of course, the lovely cameraman with his occasional comments! You've done a great job with your channel, and you deserve everything you've become! ♥️👍🏼😘

4:21 Suzie: "I'm just the nude freak, i love that...... *for my nails that is.* " Cameramen: "(deep breath)... Thank you for clarifying that." Suzie: "Yeah we don't wanna go there." 😂😂😂😂

I am just dying here 🤣🤣🤣🤣when she throws stuff over her shoulder it just makes my day! The video was awesome thanks so much

I was a nail tech for 14 years and I’m still obsessed with gorgeous nails. I loved this video. Thank you for doing this one showing the technique with Essie polish (Personal fave for years). Fabulous. I’m a new fan!

I actually like the sponge effect on it! Looks like a cloud! ☁️😌

God knows just how long I've waited for Suzie's tutorial on this Thanks Suzie

The texture from the sponge gives it a cool frosted effect.

Ballet Slippers was the queen's favorite nail polish! I love that color!

That row of essie colours is SOOO SATISFYING

Hi Suzie! I love all of your tutorials. I think I have watched them all since I discovered you. So professional and fun at the same time. Your tone is sweet and super calming. I can’t get enough of your videos. Please let us know what was your fave combo that you used for reveal. I did not catch it in the video. Thanks for taking the time to make these and regular polish technics videos are always welcomed and appreciated. 💕💅🏽🙌🏽

lmao at cameraman saying ouch! that made me laugh so much!! I love when you throw stuff over your shoulder susie!

Anyone else binge watching Suzies tutorials? It’s 1.45am and I’m still not done!

The music and editing in these videos is always so on point. It’s just beautiful to watch

I'm loving those colors. I find it very soothing to watch you paint your nails, and seeing the sponging technique. That being said, I'm tired of that shape. There are so many shapes available and I'd love to see them. xoxo

so I've caught myself talking to myself and copying the soothing sweet way you talk! 😅😊 oh, and I also sleep to your videos every single night now that I finished watching all of them..I'm going through them again and your voice is the last thing I hear before sleep.. you're a great artist, Suzie 😇

Your videos are soothing, and I find I've picked up a lot on how to do my own manicures from watching.

Regular nail polish I have used for years but I am getting fond of gel polish on my natural nails its stronger than the regular polish

I love the Essie brand. Even met the queen herself at the Premier show in Orlando. She gave a great business workshop.

You can get the sponge wet and squeeze it out really well. That helps keep the polish from absorbing too quickly into the sponge.

the nails look amazing. she was having a blast throwing the boxes behind her.💅🏾😂

SUZIE IS THE QUEEN OF NAILS❗❗❗❗🤩🤩🤩🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻💜💜💜👌🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Essie is still to this day my most favorite nail polish.

You are my nail hero! I have gotten soooo much better at not just polish, but creative ideas as well! I love Essie, but I also love L.A. Colors! Keep teaching, keep inspiring!

I love the "toss" I saw that she first put the box down on the desk. I quickly thought, Hey she didn't toss it. Lol

Love it! Definitely going to try this 💕

Love the colours. Essie is such a good brand. Even the Queen of England wears Essie 💅🏻

A video that has stuff I already own?! Okay, I’m READY! 🥰

Cristine is feeling vindicated! ❤️

natural nails like that was so pretty 😍 i usually go for really strong colours. should maybe try do some subtle too 😊

Essie’s Muchi, Muchi is one of my favourite nail varnishes. It’s such a pretty pastel pink colour, but overall I just love their range of pastel pinks and nudes.

Your creativity is limitless!

Thanks for doing this with regular nail Polish! ❤️

Essie is my favourite drugstore nail polish, I primarily use OPI on my clients but I definitely recommend Essie to my clients as a slightly cheaper polish option

Hi Susie! I LOVE all ur videos!!

Beautiful... classic

LOVE that signature throw! 😂 And the facial expression matched it PERFECTLY! 💓

Music is amazing and so relaxing 😍 Susie never disappoints ❤️

Your acrylics are beautiful! And the ombré turned out amazing, too.

I love your videos so much and it's what made me want to be a nail technician because of the amazing things you have done on your nails

Gonna do this tomorrow. My nails need some love! Great vid Suzie

Essie is fine, but your nails are to die for and the star of the show!

Essie is my favorite brand, even though they dont last on my nails...nothing does actually. Essie makes some of the best pastel colors.

So pretty, apparently the Queen loves Essie polish Ballet Slipper is her favorite she stocks up on it. I am gonna have to try these love your videos xx

Aww throws me back to the time when I use to wear ballet slippers all the time (I was afraid of befit colors on my nails) Now I’m all neon and crazy designs haha love this

Great tutorial, Suzie! Ombre is one of my absolute favorites 💕

I’m glad you did a video using polish!!!

Already got the sponge tip from mah girl Simply, but I'm glad you now know the potential of the magical sponge ;D

Suzie I love you and although I don't wear acrylics or gel I still watch your videos because they are relaxing and informative.

Beautiful finish! 💗💖

I love just putting these on to listen to her voice, i dont even like doing nail lol. But if she wanted to do my nails id let her 😍

Sooo jealous could you go another vid on answering questions Cus I find them super helpful 😘

Please do some Disney/Disneyland inspired nails! I am going in October and would love your ideas 💕

Thats so pretty you should do more tutorials with regural nail polish💖

Essie’s cuticle oil is awesome i have been using it for a couple years now!

the exact topic i was hoping to see! love how accessible you make everything seem!! 💚💚💚

I have always thought your hands were so gorgeous and almost unreal in such a great way. Thanks for this!

Soo pretty my favorite was the light pink you are amazing at doing nail I can only try❤️❤️

Love this I've been doing this ombre trick for years and years lol

Suzie you are the best you are all love, I love the pink tones are very feminine and give elegance and are colors that never go out of style.

That is so pretty! I wish I could do nails like you❤️

Hi I'm new to your channel as of today. I enjoyed watching. I do my own nails, it's more affordable. I use to get Acrylic but they were hard on my own nails. I'm starting to practice Ombre so this is what brought me here. It's taking some practice but I won't give up. It's nice to know you're a professional ♡

SHENANIGANS! You are SOO hilarious! I’m here for it!

Question: Is it bad to use a hair dryer on low heat or cool to help with the drying process? Does it make the nail polish not last as long if you help the drying process along?

Suzie is like asmr for my soul

Hi Suzie thank you so much for the awesome content take care

that's awesome!!!... your nails have such a beautiful flowing look...alot of nail trends are big thick clunky..yourS are super classy!!!😁🍁

The Queen only wears ESSIE Ballet Slippers, she has it Commissioned for her. Love this video💅🏼💜

It so fab. Love your nails, Susie. Thanks for this.

Gorgeous nails! And you are too!

I LOVE&appreciate when you take questions....🙏🏻👌🏻💜💜🤩🤩

Beautiful! I've done my first nice ombre with regular nail polish thanks to you!

DId I miss it???? What color did you end up liking best for the ombre look?

Loves this so much!!! Suzie thank you so much for these videos!!! I am a DIY and a beginner I’ve learned so much from you. And my techniques have gotten so much smoother since finding you! Thank you and love you so much!!!! One thing that drives me insane is when I do glitter nails they always feel rough and bumpy. I’ve tried all different things and I just don’t understand why. Can you make a video with tips and tricks and how to on glitter nails? PLEASE!?! Thank you!!

Wow, you made that look so easy! Such a great video!

Aww it's so beautiful I never got acrylic nails

Beautiful ombre! I used to use ballet slippers for my French Everytime! Now I have been going with some pretty bold/brilliant colors! Essie is an excellent polish! Have you tried mermaid chrome over a nude ombre/or French? OMG! 😍 Try it, it gives just a hint of shimmer & is oh so lovely! ❤️ Thank you for sharing ❤️

Does anyone else find it satisfying when Suzie throws trash on the floor? ^^

I just love your videos they have helped me with my own work on my clients and given me inspiration and I absolutely love your nail shape.

Suzie those sponges work amazing for dabbing off excess alcohol when you're doing gel.

This is the nicest sponge French fade I’ve ever seen

Hi, Susie, eu sou do Brasil. Gosto muito dos seus vídeos. Eu estou aprendendo muito com você. Amo suas dicas. Obrigada 🇧🇷😘

I always wish I had your hubs editing skills! They're so superb and whimsically! I love it!!!

Oh my goodness, I am going to be on pins and needles until you share your thoughts on why learning to do Acrylic nails first, then learning to do Gel nails later is a better way to go!!! 🕗👀💅🕟👀💅🕣👀💅🕜👀💅🕐👀💅

I came across your channel last week. And I'm enjoying watching all your videos. I love doing my nails. I loved this video. Do you have an tutorial doing French manicure with dip powder acrylic? As I love that look wanting to do my nails Almond shape with a dip ombre French manicure as I'm going to be doing dip acrylic. And have no idea how to do it. Or with gel polish. Xx Scrap that just found a video on your channel. Xxx

Christine needs to come on and do a scaled gradient!!!🤯🤯
