Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! It really helps enormously to see exactly the techniques you use!

Omgosh, they look beautiful! The tan really enhances it well. Love watching you work.

hey anna, how do you recommend finding a good natural nail manicurist? I feel like so many nail techs really only specialize in acrylics and are rough with natural nails

I'm getting my first manicure with my mom soon and I'm so excited!

a newer satisfied client! Summer pink and some sparkly layer. Excellent

Every time I watch your videos, I want to do my nails just so I can try out your techniques and wear a fresh new color that'll last! 💜

Love watching you work!! 🤩🤩

Wonderful work! Could you recommend a color from Dazzle dry that is close to this one you are using? Thank you, 😘

I need this color in my life!!

Really nice work.. Those nails look really beautiful 🤩

Gorgeous hands and nails. Ana do you have any recommendations for an e-file for home use, mainly just to tidy up cuticle and side wall. Thankyou❤️

This is so great 🌸

at 7:43 in the video do you see how the skin looks on her thumb? like it is callused, overgrown, and dry, how do you remove that? I normally use clippers or pick at it...

Good morning! These are super adorable 🥺💜

So pretty! Love the accent nails.

I'm new to your channel but I wish I could find a gentle manicurist in So Florida. Can you tell me why this shellac, polish is better than others, like gels?

My mom has ridges in her thumb nails from damage so it all always grow that way. She is a gel polish girl. What is the best way to apply gel polish to camouflage the ridges? Thanks!

I did shellac for 4months straight nails looked amazing and polish lasted BUT now my nails are weak and cracked by the meaty part. I don't like fake nails as I can't scratch with them on, hate the feeling, how can I have long lasting polish with no filing on the nail bed as it makes my nails weak

Hello! Thanks for your awesome video! I'm new to investigating shellac nails and wondered two things - firstly, what are you using to clean the nails off at the end when I see you rubbing them with the little cotton pad? And secondly, do you need to bake these nails under light or do you just let them dry naturally? Thanks!!!

Hi, love your video. How long do you soak the nail in acetone to get it so easily removed? Also, i noticed that my nail is extremely thin since i started wearing gel polish. I don't use the electric file and i dont file it hard. Could it be the exposure to the UV? I polish it on average every 2 weeks since the last 6 months (didn't wear polish prior)

Did you change the lighting or camera at 16:54? It looks more orange than prior to that time in the video. Does the polish itself seem more pink leaning or orange leaning? Sorry for the questions. I don't mean to be a pest. Thanks for all you share.

Hi Mir! The video of me working is with daylight lamp that I have on my desk so the lighting is very bright and true light. After the video I took that last bit with white background with the daylight off on my desk but with bright light and lots of indirect sunlight. That’s why the color seems warmer. It doesn’t lean orange. It’s a bright bubblegum pink. It’s a color that on most people doesn’t look good to be honest but on darker skin tones can look stunning. It’s all or nothing kind of color.

I removed the cracked area almost completely. It was like a flake. Usually in a case like this it works. It depends on the client though. Some people can be hard on their nails and it might not last.

Do you cap the nails then cure them? Or cap then go over with second coat, then cure?

Good morning Anna. Could you please include an explanation (in a future video) of why you use drills on the nails - especially over the top layer. I’m confused as your video about the nail, cuticles etc (which has been super helpful to me) you said not to compromise the top, protective, layer. It may be because of the type of manicure but I don’t know.

My understanding of shellac is that it comes from grinding up bugs, but maybe there are vegan/CF versions.

CND called their gel polish “Shellac” but it doesn’t actually contains any shellac. It’s just a name. All gels on the market are vegan. It’s just a meaningless marketing term. All polishes on the market are vegan too. It’s a plastic: solvents, film formers, plasticizers, pigments. I don’t know one gel polish that is not vegan. But please remember, just because something is “vegan” it doesn’t mean that it’s safe to use by general public or non allergenic.

Not my colour but it looks great with your client's skin tone. Perfection as usual.

Hello Marie! This seems to be a bit of a old wives tale. Here is Doug Schoons explanation 👉 FILING NAILS IN 1 DIRECTION? by Doug Schoon kzread.info/dash/bejne/fpik2MZ9epzdeqw.html I also found no correlation. Peeling and damage starts from the surface of the nail, far away from the free edge. No surface damage- no peeling. No matter if you file one way or both ways.
