You should make a video on speaking etiquette + how to have a soft feminine voice like you do 💛
Thank you!
Yes, please! An elegant voice and cadence is music to the ears 😀
@@JamilaMusayeva I allways go to your channel and make myself a play list of your videos only for hear you even if i watched them a lot of times! Just hearing your voice it calming me and my anxiety
@@JamilaMusayeva and how to laugh elegantly, please. My mom keeps saying how my laugh is horrible and unladylike 😥

Please make a video on this.
Like if anybody wants same 👍
Oh yes please haha
Yes!!!
Wow! Yass🔥🔥
I always say “oh sorry, I have someone else (family/boss) calling me right now. I have to take it and I’ll call you back!” Something around those lines on having another phone to answer. Hope that helps :)
Yes please
The way she explains everything is like someone inserting memory inside you that you'll never forget.

As a Nail Artist myself I have another hack for you, specially if you are a smoker and you usually paint your nails in white or pastel colors, cigarette can stain your nail polish and it doesn't look good anymore. So after you get your nails done at the salon (semipermanent nailpolish) you can put regular top coat on top of your semipermanent top coat. So if for any reason your fingers get stained (cigarettes, etc) you can just wipe of the regular top coat with drugstore nail polish remover (not the one for semipermanent) and the stain will be off. Then you can put regular top coat on top again.
that's cool
Brilliant! I don’t smoke but I often notice pen marks on my nails. Great tip. Thank you.
Great tip ☺️
Semipermanent?🤔
@@GoaWay... gel nail polish that cannot be removed with regular nail polish, but requires acetone soak.
I definitely agree that nails speak a TON about a person without them even speaking. I personally wear my natural nails very short and well manicured. I only wear red, nude/white, and pinks on my nails and the nail system I use is called Dazzle Dry 🙌🏽. I used to wear other colors but as my style has evolved, I have become more traditional. And I CANNOT wear long nails. In my opinion shorter nails look and work best for my lifestyle! #Teamshortandsweet
Same here! I stick with neutral or classic colors. So elegant. 🙂
@Cat 123 Yes! :)
A few tips i realized for myself based on personal experience:
*_1. Find a few go-to colour for everyday wear and stick to them_*
(this will help when you can’t make decision for what colour to wear to an important event - go with the one you love the most or most confident in. Also, if you wear one particular colour often enough, people would notice and give compliments - which also helps with decision making)
*_2. Have at least one go-to nail polish colour that matches your go-to lipstick_*
(that is, you do wear lipstick and nail polishes at the same time. Obviously its completely fine if they do not match - one of my fav nail polish is a deep blue and I’ll never wear blue lips, but if I’m going to an important event and would like to look a bit more put together or sophisticated, my trick is to match my nails and lips, go easy on everything else. That combo is my confidence booster and have been working for me for years now.)
*_3. Similar to one of Jamila’s recommendations, take care of your hands by exfoliating on regular basis and moisturizing on the go - find a hand cream that you love and are willing to use_*
(trust me I’ve had my fair share of money spent on “trendy” or popular hand creams and currently using 1 particularly brand in 1 particular scent that I love)
I remember when I was having my manicure for my wedding day (almost 15 years ago) and really wide bright white French manicures with a very blunt long square shape was “on trend”. But I remembered that one of the photograph poses I wanted to do was mine and my husband’s hands with our wedding bands on, held over my flower bouquet. My mother and father had a photograph like that on their wedding day and I just love it. I remembered that my mother had soft oval nails with a very light pink, almost clear polish. A very traditional look. So that is the shape and color I chose. Every time I see our photo (which I have framed hanging in our living room), I am so glad I decided to go more traditional with my shape and color. I know it seems like such a small detail but it made all the difference for me. I’m not saying that it’s for everyone but it was definitely a good choice for me. I love all of your nail suggestions and although because of my work and my hobbies it’s hard for me to keep even a 1/4” over my fingertips, I keep my nails nice and neat and my hands well moisturized because all of the women in my family, although extremely hard workers and cooks, have gorgeous hands and nails. And I’ve always admired them. When I think of my Nonna, I always remember her weekly manicure with a very light rose polish and smooth delicate hands. Her “secret” was olive oil on her cuticles and hands before bedtime with white cotton gloves. I do that in the winter or when my hands get dry. Bonus tip: olive oil is wonderful for your elbows as well. ❤️
Thanks for sharing nice experience, tips stay blessed aameen
What a lovely memory!
Could you please do a video about jewellery? What to combine regarding metals and how to style them? Thank you! You are so pleasant watching! I love your natural way of presenting every subject. It is really nice and relaxing to watch your videos in this selfish and less elegant world...
Thank you! I will consider it ☺️
Thats a great idea!

A french youtuber, Junstine Leconte did a video on it, I personally find her styling tips very helpful, so you might be able to get something out of it :)
@@Rachel-lq9vl oh wow,I love her tips too💚
Please create one for hair care and style
Yes pls!
Yess pls!!!! It's so important
I just love the fact that you are super respectful with everyone's style and preferences
Thank you ☺️
The bacteria thing is so true. I used to have really long nails and i work outside where I have to touch a lot of things. I recently had to cut them short bc I started playing the guitar and my acne basically went away overnight 😭💀 never having long nails again, unless I desinfect every 5 minutes
This ^
the guitar thing is true, you cant play with long nails.
Well I Think the problem was that you touch your face too much or didn’t clean your nails good enough, I always had long nails and keeping them clean is a must, but I’m glad your acne got better!
I've had long nails for about 4-5 years I just often carry sanitizer and alcohol wherever I go with me and a soothing hand cream to prevent my skin from drying, might be different for others tho this is just what personally works for me 😂
1-length
2-shape
3-colour

She has the most dulcet voice! Ahhhhhh! I could listen to her all day long!🧡
Thank you!
I'd love to hear about toenails. I've noticed that there are different aesthetic preferences around the world (e.g., cut short and square in the US, long and rounded in south Asia, tapered in Japan). Would love to hear about other styles, and tips for healthy, beautiful toenails anywhere.
I thought her toe nails in the shoe video were way too long
Yes!!! I have been dying for her to do a toenail/pedicure video as well. I love a longer length on both my fingers and toes, and I want to see whether she adds length by growing her toenails out or adding acrylic tips. ❣🙂
Please do an excercise odor etiquette!! I'm still a student, and going to school physically soon. I don't want to smell bad after doing P.E, since I know I have classes after it. Much love, and it would be greatly appreciated! 😊
I'm not in school, but used to work out during my work lunchbreak. Definitely not enough time to shower, so I brought a small hand towel, and a ziplock bag with a flannel and soap, and a change of undies and socks. Quick wash with the flannel and soap, reapply deodorant, fire in a bit of dry shampoo and restyle the hair, and you'll be good to go! It's faster than a shower but leaves you cleaner and much more comfortable than using wipes. And the ziplock takes up no space at all in your gym bag.
I will consider it ☺️
I heard that many deodorants have aluminum in them and that can actually be an issue. (I believe bad smell is the issue). So maybe try to find a deodorant without aluminum. Althogh I believe they are harder to find and I think a bit more expensive. But maybe you could order a bunch online for a good deal.
Use a chemical exfoliant under the arms, it won't stop sweat but it does prevent a smell. I've always had to walk with deodorant because of BO but it hasn't been a problem since I switched to daily chemical application
@@alittleimagination9023 yes I wanted to tell you abt that, be careful the Aluminum cause Breast Cancer
Your dress look so pretty and you are so gorgeous,I love your personality

Thank you!
I like how you mix elegance and etiquette with the natural personality and the lifestyle of the person, and so embrace it instead of suppress it.💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗🙏🏻 Love you thank you for your meaningful messege💙 and your dress is really beautiful!
Thank you very much 🙏🏻
This video is so helpful for those of us looking to polish our appearance. Thank you for sharing this information with your subscribers.
Am I the only one reaching out towards my cuticle oil after watching this video? 😊
You are welcome ☺️
Almond oil really helps for growing nails, and keep nails shiny only 3x a week
Freakin AMEN. I stopped getting manicures. Because many different nail techs just weren’t getting how I like my nails shaped. OR if I really needed a cuticle cleanup I’d just shape it myself.
Thank you for this video. I’m a chemist and we are required to have short nails and most especially not to put on nail polish as part of laboratory safety. So it really depends on one’s profession.
Absolutely it does!
I am in love with your voice, face hairstyle, your clothes your hands everything about you speaks elegance and class ♥️ thank you so much, you are truly God sent
Love from India 🇮🇳❤
@@H.EMPRESS Jai hind🌟❤, stay safe

Oh, the video so many of us have been waiting for. ♥♥♥ Jamila, I wish had an image consultant like you!
Thank you!
It's been really difficult to take care of my nails since I became a mom around 4 years ago. My nails chip or break a lot as I care for my kids, cook, and clean. Many times, after 2-3 months, I'm back to square one of growing them afresh.😌 I'll give this a shot again. I also keep squoval nails, but maintaining them has been almost impossible. I won't give up. Thank you for sharing what works for you. Super valuable. ❤❤❤
Absolutely stunning as always. Jamila never fails to create that air of tranquilness and calm. Thank you so much again for considering this topic , Jamila! Me as a constant nail biter due to anxiety needed a dose of motivation
thank you 🙏🏻
@@JamilaMusayeva you're most welcome😊🌸
My job is very rough on my hands, and keeping nail polish without chipping is very difficult. I now use ONE coat of an Essie pink that is close to my skin tone. Using one coat makes it less likely to chip, and using a skin tone makes any wear much less visible. I remove and re-do once a week. I make sure to moisturize my cuticles and hands throughout the week. I've been doing this for a while, and I am so happy to see my nails looking pretty good! It adds confidence, knowing that my nails still look classy after a day at work.
I really recommend gel nail polish
I've also admired your hands, so well manicured and hydrated
Thanks!
Loved listening to your nail method, thank you. I am a big fan of carefully maintained hands and nails. FYI: Nails grow laterally (across) which is why they break easily when filed round or oval (there is less nail at he tip). You will notice that nails usually break or crack straight across. Filing them more square or squoval keeps more of the nail on the sides as they grow. This will make nails less likely to break.
It makes sense. Thank you for pointing this out.
So glad you've shared your nail tricks with us! Was so happy to see this! You have beautiful hands. Thank you!
You are welcome ☺️
I was waiting for this video for so long. THANK YOU for uploading ❤❤
You are welcome ☺️
I love your videos...perfect timing as I just changed my nail shape after keeping the same one for...decades! It’s really changed my whole vibe...You were right about that.💓
I am glad to hear that ☺️
Essie, Ballet slipers. The Queennnnn
I can literally listen to you all day! Your voice is so soothing 😌
Thank you
I absolutely love the setup for this video. Including how your dress matches everything.
Thank you 🙏🏻
Randomly found your channel last year, but now I am a regular viewer. Your videos so so good😊👍!!
Thank you 🙏🏻
@@JamilaMusayeva Your welcome
I had to laugh! This video came up in my feed, and my first thought was 'they have to be CLEAN!'. Clearly, This is important to me, as it's exactly what I said two years ago!!
Being a Libra, I love when a lady takes care of her nails. It kinda shows she has a good self esteem and self care routine. In most cases.
Good hair and nails are very attractive.
They way you speak is so soothing. ❤ thank you so much for the tips.
You are so welcome!
I like how your thoughts on the best colors was so respectful, and how you declined to support less traditional choices without shaming them
Hey Jamila, I haven't watched this video yet but I wanted to let you know that I've listened to your podcast episode. It was very informative and interesting as always! Keep up the great work.
She has a podcast? Woahh. Could you please tell me the name?
@@KafkaShore Check her community tab
@@aboveaveragejane3126 I got so excited and thought she started her own podcast. For the time being I'll listen to that episode. Thanks though!
Thank you! 🙏🏻
I am always excited to see your video
Thanks!
Very interesting as always! Much as I love the idea of longer, elegant nails, my hobbies all involve working with my hands (sewing, knitting, working out) and they break every time! So I keep them as long as I can (quite short) and very neat. It'll do!
Thank you!
I needed this rn! Thank you ❤️
Welcome ☺️
Thank you for the useful advice! Hands and nails beauty make such a difference in a woman'a apprearance. If you enjoy cuticle moisturizing with home-mixed oils, a good idea might be to try adding a drop or two of your favourite essential oil. It boosts nail growth and works as aromathepary undercover as well. Have a great weekend, everybody!
Perfect tip! Thanks!
I've been waiting for this video. Thank you this
You are welcome ☺️
I just have discovered you channel and wwwwoww... how could I miss it ??? Good continuation jamila and thank you for all the quality contents that you propose
Your nails speak a lot about you. Love that . 🤍🎀🌸
Loved the video!!! I take really good care of my hands and nails, and love doing so. Just like you I do notice hands and nails instantly, they are so important, and does give a hint as to the personality as you said. Best regards!!!
Thank you!
Breakfast etiquette. Would love to hear about it from you.

I'm so happy I found you today! ❤ I have subbed!
I’m so glad you mentioned bacteria under your nails! Must clean that well. I scrub under my fingernails when I wash my hands. 👍
Absolutely brilliant! Thank you.🌸💕
When I’m a pianist and I really want to grow my nails a bit but I have to cut it super short :/
I've been a piano student for the last 6 months now and I do miss my longer nails. I have to cut them every 4 days because I always tread the line with how much I can push it.
Violinist here, same problem :)
guitarist here, we can only grow nail in one hand☹️
Haha I never like to grow my nails because I would always accidentally scratch and injure myself quite badly...
As a hobbyist piano player and double bass player, hmmm I don't really like getting any longer nails but if I'm going to get nail polish, the nail polish always chipped =(
@@cinnamongirl7623 whenever my nails get a bit long I get so annoyed by the clicking of my nails on the keyboard so I cut it out of frustration 😂
Really love the way she speaks ❤️
Thank you!
Another great video, with useful tips and good taste. Thank you!
You are welcome ☺️
Hi Jamila thank you for useful tips on nail care.🤗
You are welcome ☺️
I always aim for the square oval shape nails because I have long fingers. I just researched that nail shape and it means someone who is ladylike, assertive, and ambitious. These do so well align with me. The square shape like yours is the Vogue choice. Your nails are beautiful. Frankly, I had never thought about the nails shape meanings. Thank you. ❤️
You are welcome ☺️
Yes! I wanted this video so bad but i was too shy to ask~ Thank you so much~
You are welcome ☺️
i love each and every episode , you are amazing and easy to understand your message.
Thanks
I love your videos! Keep creating videos like this please 😍
Thank you!
I always wore my nails super short, cut all the way down to my finger tips because we weren't allowed nails in primary school (in case of accidental or deliberate scratching). I recently let them grow out and I was happily surprised at how feminine they made my hands look! I wear them fairly short and rounded now. I tried longer but the nail on my index finger digs uncomfortably into my thumb when I'm drawing or painting.
Just listened to your podcast with Bianca and Anna! It was inspiring💞
Thank you 🙏🏻
Thank you for replying to my comment; it means a lot to me :)
you are looking like an elegant flower bouquet ❤
Thank you 🙏🏻
@@JamilaMusayeva You replied me, i am amazed dear ❤
you are my teacher, from last month i am learning etiquettes from you...
I'm really glad i found your channel, it's very useful for me! Thank you very much Jamila for all the information in your videos!🙂
You are welcome ☺️
Love to watch your videos. They're very informative.
Keep on sharing beautiful ideas to motivate women ❤
Thank you!
Love the tea cup.
Thank you Jamila,
Your simple guidelines on the length and shape of classically elegant nails is something I have been hunting for, for a while. As well as your guidelines for makeup.
Would you please do a video on hair etiquette? Can I touch it in public (adjusting it, running fingers through it, twirling it in the fingers)? At what point does the color and style become too much? How "clean" should it be? Stuff like that?
Thank you again for all that you do!
Thank you so much I was looking for this exactly 💖
Welcome ☺️
TY for posting these videos...I had so many questions back in high school I was never able to ask.
You are welcome ☺️
@@JamilaMusayeva Do you remember the first time you ever painted your nails? My first time I went with neon green.
Love your channel! The content is incredible
Thank you very much!
I love 'ladylike' by Essie nailpolish, and for hand cream I use Supergoop! It has spf in it and evens tone
My natural nails used to be super super brittle, thin, bendable, breakable. I started using cuticle oil regularly (anything is fine, like jojoba oil or squalane oil). If you get a dedicated cuticle oil, get one with vitamin E. I also started using Nailtiques formula 2 for soft/peeling/bitten/weak nails and it really helps with making them stronger. Now I regularly get dip powder nails or acrylic ombre nails once a month or every 6/8 weeks.
Thank you for your video. I became excited when I saw the title of your video because I always admire your beautiful nails and wonder how you take care of them. I do my own nails, and not only do my nails look pretty, to me, it is a relaxing activity in the evening after a long day. Since I started playing the piano again, I have to keep my nails short, but I don’t mind because I tend to pick under my nails when they are too long. I almost always have my fingernails painted a light pink or neutral color because they look ladylike. (I may go for red for special occasions. I used to occasionally wear dark colors, especially for fun occasions, but now they don’t fit my personality anymore.) I recommend Londontown, thanks to the Daily Connoisseur, because the polishes dry fairly quickly, last at least a good week on my nails (I love the gel top coat), and most other polishes make my nails peel but not Londontown. I used Londontown polish for a month-long Cruise, and my nails looked gorgeous during the whole cruise (I occasionally did touch-ups though). 💕💅
You are welcome 🙏🏻
I can listen to your voice for hours 🙏
Thanks!
omg, loved this one! :D I really appreciate all your videos, Jamila; but this one hit straight to home, as I like to take very good care of my nails & I have sensitive skins on my hands, so I have to always-always have a cream with me, no matter the season ;) thank you for all the useful information!
Thank you!
This video came out the day I was due to do my nails. I went to my appointment and tried a simple almond shape look and I am so pleased! Perfect timing 😁👍 Thank you
Good for you!
Congrats for your great talent and fantastic portfolio.
Thank you!
yayyyy a new videoooo

Thanks Jamila. 😊
I would like to know what kind of parfume you like or your parfume collection. Maybe you can make video about it. Love your videos❤
These hands are love❤
Be sure to protect your very beautiful skin from the sun, Jamila. I started early for an American of those times, in my early 20s, but I already had significant damage. This convinced me to wear daily sunscreen and stop sunbathing when all my friends were broiling in the sun as much as possible. Their skin looks like wrinkled, old, spotty leather now. Also, just one sunburn increases the lifetime risk of skin cancer many times over.
Never thought about this...Thank you.Ramadan Mubarak
☺️
I like your vlog and your soft voice .
Your beautiful elegant and classy woman. Thank you 😊
This was wonderful 😊. I used to do my own nails up until late 20s. I finally decided to see what all the hype was about. Well, 20 years later still going to a salon. It took me two bad salons to get to the one I finally feel safe in. They will not accept home tools. Regulations. They do have a sterilizing machine there. New tools each person. Classic red will always be my favorite color.
I’d love to go to the salon, but I’d need to go twice a month and they are very expensive where I live.
@@Keapix Agreed it can be.
Very very useful video... i always implement these rules 🥰 thank to you Jamila Ma'am 🤗

Squoval and french manicure or nude. I would always say ”Would they receive me at the Royal House?” Later, when the Royal House in Romanian did receive me at an award ceremony, I actually found out Royal Houses havv an etiquette and I was well within it.
