"this nail has such a long nail bed... I wish all of my nails were like that " LITERALLY MY SAME THOUGHTS !! Lol as soon as you said that Anna I bursted out laughing because it is so relatable. My ring finger on both hands have such nice long nailbeds and are so satisfying to polish but my other nailbeds .... no 😂

Yes my nails are flatter without polish.

Wow! I never knew that the nail bed extends with polish.

I just love that we're chilling out chatting about your manicure. It's very therapeutic. Thank you! ❤

Geez, I hope that mindset of letting perfection go happens to me as I get older. I've had enough of being like that but it feels very ingrained.

Yes, perfection is terrible. It usually goes hand in hand with procrastination. I still want to improve things in my life but I guess I'm ok with being imperfect. It's actually more interesting to be imperfect. Perfect is boring. Maybe it's because we see so much perfection in make up, filters, photoshop, etc. It's nauseating after a while...

I love watching your manicures and would love to see you doing more pedicures as I find those so much harder to do as I like colour on my toes but a clear polish on my finger nails. Had the worst pedicure ever last weekend! I have been using Rejuvacote on my finger nails which I am loving as it doesn’t peel and doesn’t seem to yellow my nails. I also love the Deliplus top coat gel from Mercadona and brought another bottle back to the U.K. with me a couple of weeks ago. Btw, I like short nails too. I file mine every few days as I can’t stand it when they start to grow.

The cuticle is kinda like a double sided sticky tape that slides along the nail plate and keeps the seal between the proximal nail fold and the nail plate, so no yuckies get into the skin and cause nail fungus or infection of any kind, it’s why I prefer doing very conservative cuticle cleanup like you’re doing, especially on older clients with very dry, sensitive, thin skin, it helps more than they think and prevents accidental nips and cuts.

I ordered the set of 3 from Mont Bleu and rec'd them today. Did my manicure and love the file that I tried today. I like shorter nails too. Thanks for showing us glass nail files. Love your videos.

Loving this demo!

Thank you for the tutorials❤

I came across your videos while looking for info about glass files which I love. I have become hooked after learning so much from you about how t care for my nails. They look so much better! Thank you for all the great info!

I love doing manicures on my daughters. I zone out and it’s like meditation for me

Thank you again for the GREAT advice and these videos. I love watching and doing my nails along with you. Yes, this video answered my question about what to wear on my nails as I grow out the surface damage. I appreciate you and your nails look so healthy.

I can see where this tool might be helpful for removing cuticles on my toe nails. Because of the weird posture of bending down I often have a harder time with the toes and the right angle when using a wooden stick. This might help.

My "smile line" is uneven too. I shape my nails the same way you do by looking at the overall shape of the nail. I like my nail shirt because I work in Healthcare and long nails become sore after a while from putting on and removing gloves all day.

Does nitrocellulose usually yellow if you keep it on longer? Would it stop yellowing if you remove it after a few days? Ive use regular polish and haven’t had any yellowing yet.

I have always noticed that my nails are flatter when I don’t wear polish. When I have polish on they have a nicer curve.

I know exactly what you mean about your nails being flatter without polish on. My nails are narrower at the PNF and go wider towards the free edge, some nail plates more so than others and it bugs me. Whenever I put any kind of polish on it's as if the side walls curl in slightly so the nails look more even and 'straight up straight down' with less flaring. They also tend to look more uniform. As soon as I take the polish off, by the time I've finished my manicure they are flatter and wider again. I don't feel any discomfort when they change and I wish they would stay looking more even and not wider at the free edge! :) I'm also a short nail fan, I have to file them every couple of days as it drives me up the wall when they start getting long.

Hello @TheSalonLife. Just started watching your videos a few weeks ago and I’m loving it. I came across your “habit tic nail deformity” video. I have that exact same problem on both of my thumbs. I’m doing the gentle oil massages. However, was wondering if you can do a quick demo on how to apply the nail glue. Thank you.

If you have lines in your nails like it's bent and not broken but the line is still there is it best to cut and file that part off and re grow your nails because when I put polish on the crack seems to come through to my polish and you can see the line

Yes, if there is any damage to the nail plate it’s better to shorten it because longer nails bend more causing more damage to the nail plate surface.

I really enjoy watching your videos :) May I ask you, if you still use the Dior Nail Glow (because of the yellowing)? Many greetings from germany :)

I also have noticed that my nails feel flatter when i don’t use a nail polish. Is it possible to use a jojoba 7:52 oil with a few drops of essentiol oil for the scent? Ore is better to use just pure jojoba oil?

What brands are the curette and pusher tool ... and the disposable file? Might you have links for those products?

What do you think about letting your nails grow out and just glue nails on top till they grow out and you have to change them. I got an allergic reaction. So I'm going to do my nails like press one. It was builder gel and I put peel base over the builder gel and the gel polish over top. I couldn't got overexposure stuff to. I'm better. I was lucky. But it still gave me blisters. It didn't itch.❤ I have the glue I use will be okay😮

Glass files are also good, they come in different grits though.. Just use a soft buffer after using a file and the free edge of the nail will be very smooth

When I use the metal "scraper" to gently push back my skin and remove the cuticles, sometimes I end up removing little layers off my nail that are peeling off.

Would you recommend using repair mode & nail envy together?

I'm not a fan of Nail Envy. It used to have a hardening ingredient, formalin. The one called Original Nail Envy. The new Nail Envy doesn't have formalin and it has... nothing really. Nothing different. It's just a clear nail polish with the addition of marketing. Here are the ingredients. It has nothing special at all. I mean it can be a very nice clear nail polish with great formula but that's about it. Butyl Acetate, Ethyl Acetate, Nitrocellulose, Tribenzoin, Acrylates/Hydroxyesters Acrylates Copolymer, Isopropyl Alcohol, Tosylamide/Epoxy Resin, n-Butyl Alcohol, Stearalkonium Bentonite, Diacetone Alcohol, Citric Acid, Tocopheryl Acetate, Ascorbic Acid, Retinyl Palmitate, Biotin, Calcium Pantothenate, Dimethicone, Acetyl Tributyl Citrate, Stearalkonium Hectorite, Titanium Dioxide (CI 77891), Violet 2 (CI 60725).

Yes definitely nails flatter naked lol. Does polish also prevent from water getting in to your nails if you polish under as well? If yes then why do my nails still peel? Please help I heard naked nails get damaged from water and they peel but issue is not fixed. If I don’t wear polish and just use oil how does the peel stop???? It seems like as it grows out it still goes further up a Visio’s cycle. Help help help

Hello, all polishes that contain nitrocellulose can yellow the nails. Depends on the age of the polish, type of polish and how long you wear it. Pretty much all polishes on the market contain nitrocellulose. Sometimes it’s a price you pay for having polished nails. It’s just good to be aware why the yellowing happens.
