This adorable glitter fade set was thought out and executed brilliantly! It’s a good idea to start with short extensions for new sets because short natural nails can’t hold length well.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e90fe565bc2a45a426658d7/1588969610814-OOGAHHRAILJR5D1KGKS8/4.jpeg Blog - Suzie Submissions: Fall 2018 - (BEFORE) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e90fe565bc2a45a426658d7/1588969928834-B0OK7E1K035WH8VDM1BW/Screen+Shot+2020-05-08+at+1.31.34+PM.png Blog - Suzie Submissions: Fall 2018 - @brookerose.sk “Such a creative use of many crystals and beads here!

Creating it on a super short nail is even harder because the line is so small. In order for french nails to look good, the smile lines need to be so accurate as they are closely paralleled. These nails showcase this precision immaculately! Extraordinary work!” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e90fe565bc2a45a426658d7/1588969629336-75K7QE2WFYYG3A9ZVJML/7.jpeg Blog - Suzie Submissions: Fall 2018 - @aymehnails “Look how accurate the colour of the blood is!

But, in the end, I decided against it- even after I had already painted this underwater scene.

It really holds curls. After I curled her hair, I pulled it up off her face to make it look as if it was being swept to the side by water. Then, I simply braided her hair down that one side while still keeping it full and messy, as if water was moving it around. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e90fe565bc2a45a426658d7/1588971478312-SY9F553XMIL59DNVT6S7/Screen+Shot+2020-05-08+at+1.49.12+PM.png Blog - Behind the Cover: Aquarium Nails If I wasn’t a nail tech, I would have seriously considered doing hair and makeup!

Suzie's Hair How-To For my everyday hair routine, after a fresh wash, I first work in some volumizer and strengthener. This helps my hair hold its curl, which it doesn’t do well naturally. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e90fe565bc2a45a426658d7/1588989288139-MSLMEZCEVWNO7XKAY8CR/hair-02.jpg Blog - Suzie's Hair How-To Then, I massage hair oil into the ends of my hair, so that they don’t dry out. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e90fe565bc2a45a426658d7/1588989288451-NX6S7A9OU3XXFJHDSD0O/hair-03.jpg Blog - Suzie's Hair How-To Next, I blowdry my hair. Normal, right? Except, I do it upside down! My hair really has problems holding volume, so blow drying it upside down helps add lots of body. I dry it starting from the root and work my way out. I try to only use the hottest setting on the roots and dry the majority of my hair on a lower heat. This helps keep heat damage to a minimum. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e90fe565bc2a45a426658d7/1588989288712-2P8M2VJAT3SLJA11XC0Y/hair-04.jpg Blog - Suzie's Hair How-To Once my hair is completely dry, I put hot rollers in to curl it. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e90fe565bc2a45a426658d7/1588989314167-IBWPRESG9MM0ZGBMX5WB/Screen+Shot+2020-05-08+at+6.51.06+PM.png Blog - Suzie's Hair How-To I curl three rows of hair on the top front of my head using one of the bigger curling rollers so that it curls the full length of my hair there. Then, I curl three rows down both sides of my face all rolling under and add three more down the back. I use a smaller roller for the top back roll as it’s the longest piece of my hair and doesn’t hold a big curl for long. As for the very front where my bang is, I make a decision on the spot whether I’m going to roll it under or over. It honestly just depends on my mood that day! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e90fe565bc2a45a426658d7/1588989917797-Q8UZR4R2FTSQR2F7WIKK/Screen+Shot+2020-05-08+at+6.51.37+PM.png Blog - Suzie's Hair How-To I like to use hot rollers mainly because I can leave them in to curl while doing my makeup at the same time. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e90fe565bc2a45a426658d7/1588989289111-EJ85QLNJQ43K3YIGWDQO/hair-07.jpg Blog - Suzie's Hair How-To At first, the curls look tight, but once I comb my fingers through them, they loosen (as is the nature of my hair). I comb carefully with only my fingers to keep each individual curl intact. If I comb too much my hair will turn into one big puff! Because of the type of haircut I have, which is a long, loosely layered cut, my hair at this point pretty much just falls into place. My hairstyle is very forgiving, so it doesn’t really matter where it falls. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e90fe565bc2a45a426658d7/1588989289306-60SI64YJ2KA5APO83GS1/hair-08.jpg Blog - Suzie's Hair How-To One of the last things I do is actually a slight back comb at the crown of my head. I grab a small piece of hair at the top back of my head and use a comb to quickly brush towards myself. This gives my hair a voluminous shape and adds some height. I’m only five feet tall, so a little height is OK! I don’t overdo it as I don’t want it to be too much of a mess back there. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e90fe565bc2a45a426658d7/1588989331247-086GPHOZOPJL2ZGXM26Z/Screen+Shot+2020-05-08+at+6.52.10+PM.png Blog - Suzie's Hair How-To Finally, I finish it all off with a good amount of hairspray or otherwise, if I don’t, my hair will immediately fall and flatten! Enough hairspray will hold it together for at least a video shoot or an evening out. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e90fe565bc2a45a426658d7/1588990376589-M3KAV8OMP60QRES9FBEE/Screen+Shot+2020-05-08+at+7.12.13+PM.png Blog - Suzie's Hair How-To https://www.blog.nailcareer.com/posts/be-your-own-superhero monthly 0.5 2020-05-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e90fe565bc2a45a426658d7/1588991033152-STBYZTTP71NRSYP9C3FV/Screen+Shot+2020-05-08+at+7.17.11+PM.png Blog - Be Your Own Superhero! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e90fe565bc2a45a426658d7/1588991034408-CIKAJR9DLA59RT74I1VW/Screen+Shot+2020-05-08+at+7.17.19+PM.png Blog - Be Your Own Superhero! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e90fe565bc2a45a426658d7/1588990821810-TPHEXDUYN3OT4KXMYTNQ/superhero-3.jpg Blog - Be Your Own Superhero! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e90fe565bc2a45a426658d7/1588990752160-ZIYKZ3O9RHXN0JTGBNL6/superhero-2b.jpg Blog - Be Your Own Superhero! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e90fe565bc2a45a426658d7/1588990696847-6O1MY2IKV9HRI0ZO6FKK/superhero-1.jpg Blog - Be Your Own Superhero! https://www.blog.nailcareer.com/posts/extreme-nail-art monthly 0.5 2020-05-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e90fe565bc2a45a426658d7/1588991478414-J0D1WA5JYQPY6RGWNWYY/Screen+Shot+2020-05-08+at+7.30.40+PM.png Blog - Extreme Nail Art https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e90fe565bc2a45a426658d7/1588991477612-AI5Z6V8J2UCFO89ECMNL/Screen+Shot+2020-05-08+at+7.30.47+PM.png Blog - Extreme Nail Art https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e90fe565bc2a45a426658d7/1588991276094-232MAY8CD8DO4C8HFCEW/nailart-1.jpg Blog - Extreme Nail Art https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e90fe565bc2a45a426658d7/1588991330429-T99AI9N690M34VGG1JWN/nailart-2.jpg Blog - Extreme Nail Art https://www.blog.nailcareer.com/posts/suzie-submissions-new-year-2019 monthly 0.5 2020-05-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e90fe565bc2a45a426658d7/1589322405917-XEPGSMC352MIANZPVSLO/Screen+Shot+2020-05-12+at+3.24.49+PM.png Blog - Suzie Submissions: New Year 2019 - @short_nail_geek “This set gives me the warm and fuzzies.

Paint on each section of the background greenery by starting with one dot of colour at the top and working down, adding two dots of colour; one on each side. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e90fe565bc2a45a426658d7/1589324274420-G5WBSWL16678FKHEV0UY/Step3.jpg Blog - Spring Inspired Nail Art Tutorial Finish each section of greenery by connecting their leaves with stems. To do this, draw long skinny lines joining the top dot of each section to the bottom, staying in between the other dots. Next, draw even smaller lines coming from each remaining dot to the main line in the middle, then cure. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e90fe565bc2a45a426658d7/1589324275266-IZY5BNFJPBJJV0G6DJKV/Step4.jpg Blog - Spring Inspired Nail Art Tutorial Create a mixture of white gel polish and base/topcoat to make a milky, but still translucent, shade of white.

Then, for the focal point of the nail, use gel polish #111 to draw a flower stem coming down from the top of the nail with long thick leaves on both sides. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e90fe565bc2a45a426658d7/1589324279027-BZTTR8VRV8Q02OLQGLAZ/Step6.jpg Blog - Spring Inspired Nail Art Tutorial Use gel polish #126 to begin your focal point flower. Draw a half circle with its flat side facing the bottom of the nail and its curved side joining with the flower stem. Before curing, take your detailer brush and add dots of polish in a row to the flat side of the circle. Make sure to leave a little room in between each dot for definition. Cure. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e90fe565bc2a45a426658d7/1589324280533-GECLE35VOS310YMKOBJ1/Step7.jpg Blog - Spring Inspired Nail Art Tutorial Paint details on your flower with white gel polish, embellishing on both the dotted and stem side. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e90fe565bc2a45a426658d7/1589324284165-CQJSAX90W664UR298S1K/Step8.jpg Blog - Spring Inspired Nail Art Tutorial Using gel polish #126 again, paint on additional bunches of greenery in the remaining open spaces. If desired, paint on partial flowers around the edges of the nail, to balance out your design. Note: For a design like this, balancing the elements out will prevent the nail from looking too crowded, heavy or sparse in areas. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e90fe565bc2a45a426658d7/1589324284795-UE3M66VZ001JCSH5L8GM/Step9.jpg Blog - Spring Inspired Nail Art Tutorial Seal your design with a matte or shiny topcoat- it looks great with either!

If your base colour has a cured gel top coat, then you can wipe your daisies off at any point and redo them if you need, without having to start all over again. This is very handy as kids can get fidgety. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e90fe565bc2a45a426658d7/1589494033847-I4WGVWWGR2C5ZSETF06I/4.jpeg Blog - 3 Nail Art Designs for Kids https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e90fe565bc2a45a426658d7/1589493850302-FPIF5771MUVFPHFR3JE0/1.jpeg Blog - 3 Nail Art Designs for Kids https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e90fe565bc2a45a426658d7/1590107202827-5NNKJLW1BUP5ESVA1AAL/Screen+Shot+2020-05-21+at+5.25.17+PM.png Blog - 3 Nail Art Designs for Kids Makartt Polygel Kit Use the code SUZIETIP6 to save 15%!

It’s quick and easy and it’s so fun having them pick out which designs they like from the plate. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e90fe565bc2a45a426658d7/1589494850182-AQW1B8S23MARH92Q4B2J/30.jpeg Blog - 3 Nail Art Designs for Kids You always want to be mindful of kids’ attention spans when doing their nails, because you don’t want to get to the point where you’re trying to convince them to stay still. It can really take the fun out of it. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e90fe565bc2a45a426658d7/1589494669984-OAHT6FFO6IWF3GFUZW33/22.jpeg Blog - 3 Nail Art Designs for Kids Remember that kids fingers are tiny!

It’s a product that DIYers and nail enthusiasts can purchase- not just licensed techs. Although hybrid gel is no replacement for acrylic or pro gel products- as the end result can be quite different- but it is still a lot of fun to play with creating nails that are close to professional standards, when you are a hobbyist. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e90fe565bc2a45a426658d7/1589498664676-VS26415KI16UDPLZEE3G/2.jpeg Blog - Behind the Cover: Halloween Goth My model, Tisha and I are setting up! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e90fe565bc2a45a426658d7/1589498693849-SIFXH450KP2GLOE3OKNH/3.jpeg Blog - Behind the Cover: Halloween Goth You know the saying, “You’re never three feet away from a spider?” Well, at my house, I’m never three feet away from a Critter!

Love it.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e90fe565bc2a45a426658d7/1589582998595-W58KCIOEBEB4SHZAVF7E/2.jpeg Blog - Suzie Submissions: Summer 2019 - @nailetje “First off, I love the shape of these nails! The nail bed is very narrow and long, which makes the shape of the nail flattering everywhere. I love how this artist has separated the pastel coloured stripes with gold lines. Such a pleasing detail. And the drawings are adorable!” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e90fe565bc2a45a426658d7/1589583000309-NAXXYVL879LX3L1M6HTY/3.jpeg Blog - Suzie Submissions: Summer 2019 - @taylorallenesthetics “Just in time for back to school! Such a clever idea. And the attention to detail here with the black lines being a little wobbly in between is perfect. Looks just like the crayon pack we all had when we were in school!” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e90fe565bc2a45a426658d7/1589583000023-NA0CQT47KCGH48KNKTXY/4.jpeg Blog - Suzie Submissions: Summer 2019 - @nikkieatsleeppolish “Painting straight lines on a surface that isn’t flat seems like it would be easy, but it can be very challenging. You’ve got to have a super steady hand. This artist has just that and created this wonderful rainbow design. Bouncing the rainbow off a soft pink background gives it a natural feel. Such a happy set of nails!” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e90fe565bc2a45a426658d7/1589583001998-AQ6DN7R44AJB03YTHNXC/5.jpeg Blog - Suzie Submissions: Summer 2019 - @fificrossnails “This almond shape first caught my attention. Then I saw the stamping design and realized- it’s the stamping plate I collaborated with Clear Jelly Stamper on! So rewarding to see a vision come to life through another nail artist admiring it enough to create with it! I’m flattered- and a fan of their design!” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e90fe565bc2a45a426658d7/1589583344671-LWGZVPU6C37X5YLZWYUL/6.jpeg Blog - Suzie Submissions: Summer 2019 - @sacha_nails_by_nonna “Lovely pairing of soft pink and sparkle. I like how one of the sparkle nails is completely covered while the other one has a gentle fade. The gradual pink fade overtop of the sparkle gives it a submerged effect. Nice touch. So pretty.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e90fe565bc2a45a426658d7/1589583390347-A90CM94O63KLBB9ZKMLF/7.jpeg Blog - Suzie Submissions: Summer 2019 - @nailsbykatiedutra “Love the harmony this colour combination creates. Whenever I see yellow, it feels so right to pair it with sky blue. And the lemons! How adorable for summer!” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e90fe565bc2a45a426658d7/1589583437382-12YOPVWEXR6367DSH73X/8.jpeg Blog - Suzie Submissions: Summer 2019 - @nailsonpoint_byjolene “The intertwining of these colours is fantastic! There’s separation and blending at the same time! It stands out so well on the stark white background. It’s almost a shame it’s on such a tiny canvas- these could easily be hung on a gallery wall!” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e90fe565bc2a45a426658d7/1589583012353-CQT6V49L0LZ6ROR7IW1Y/9.jpeg Blog - Suzie Submissions: Summer 2019 - @nailsbymanna “So lovely! The pastel pink and soft grey create a perfect backdrop for these delicate little floral accents. And with the sparkled nails, this set is brought up a couple notches. Its wearer is ready for anything ‘smart casual,’ like a wedding or high tea!” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e90fe565bc2a45a426658d7/1589583011966-L5IC0O1I9BA00NN3EOY2/10.jpeg Blog - Suzie Submissions: Summer 2019 - @road2naildorado “I love how the theme of reading is depicted here and the artist didn’t forget to include one of the best parts of curling up with a book... sipping a hot drink!
