@@mariahdaugherty3303 u could SLIGHTLY push the hyponychium. do not remove it as it prevents bacterial & fungal infections. using oil & taking a break from gel & acrylic manicures help too.
OMG! Those are my nails in the 1st photo!! If I wasn't invested earlier you now have my FULL ATTENTION! Thank you SOOOOO much Anna and A for collaborating to create this video! I have a toddler at home so my hands are in and out of the water all day! Can't wear polish bc it's chipped on most nails within 24 hrs. Will try the suggestions mentioned! You guys are THE BEST 💕
This works! I saw this video and realized that water was causing my nails to peel and they looked terrible. I started applying oil to my nails several times throughout the day, especially after water exposure, and started wearing gloves at work to keep my hands clean and not need to wash as often. I was shocked to see my hands and nails looking better immediately. Within a couple days I could see real improvement. My nails no longer peel and break. It has been about 2 months. Thank you so much for your research, information, and suggestions!
These are truly the most gorgeous natural nails I’ve ever seen - what an incredible, inspiring transformation with such GENTLE, consistent, and sensible care. Wow wow wow! Thank you so much to her and to you for sharing this with us. It truly shoes the proof of what you preach. Not that I needed convincing, but it’s still an absolutely incredible transformation!
Thank you! My nails were similar to the first picture and I was despairing that they would never be better. Since watching this video I have: *stopped all hardeners and nail polishes *been using various oils and urea cream on my nails *doing warm oil soaks *regularly filing and they are so much better already after about 3 weeks. They feel glossy and are naturally shiny.
Thanks to your viewer for sharing her experience. There are so many articles promoting buffing as an alternative to nail polish and using the word “cuticle” to refer to the proximal nail fold that consumers are confused. My nails have improved using your advice.
This could be my story with peeling nails ! I’ve gone through the same steps as your writer in trying to salvage my nails ,now I hope that by stopping buffing down the peeling portion of my nails I’ll have filled in the final piece to this nail puzzle. I’ve also just put my jojoba oil next to my kitchen sink as a reminder to apply after getting my hands wet. I believe the magic portion to healthy nails is patience which is something I’m sorely lacking . I hope that in a months time I can report back with my own positive results. Please thank your UA-cam fan for allowing you to share her story with us it was generous of her to put her experience down on paper. Your UA-cam channel is a font of good / honest information ,I’m very grateful I stumbled upon it. Now it’s up to me to put your advice into action. Thank you.
@@hannahko6833 I am very happy with the changes in my nails so far. I can’t believe it was 2 months ago since I stumbled on this video ,what a game changer. I now give my nails a nice warm oil soak once a week that plus using my jojoba oil pen during the day I can see a huge improvement in the peeling. My manicure is lasting at least 7 days ,I’m so impressed with the overall changes I’ve made and the outcome so far. I’m still a work in progress but my nails have never looked this good.
This is my same story too! I started in August and now they look just like hers! The tips you post are amazing and I can attest to the results. Patience and consistency. Thank you for sharing her story!
Can you tell me exactly what you did please? I thought having your nails painted keeps the water away. And I too have 2 little once I’m constantly washing my hands and still use oil a lot
I followed what this video says. Stopped nail paint, used opi repair mode and jojoba oil. Three months later my nails look like hers after years of not being able to grow them and have them peel all the time. Nail paint is an occasional luxury is what I have learnt if I want healthy nails. Thank you for posting this video!
So here is a quick summary of what to do and not to do for those who are a little bit lazy :)) DON'T!! -Do your own shellac and/or dip nails -Buff off the nail peelings -Keeping nails as short as possible (keep your natural nails short, but not down-to-the-skin short!) -Constantly apply new coats of protectant or polish. (It can actually be better to not wear any polish at all!) -Use a bunch of different supplm. or topicals too often (look at the ingredients and know what to look for and what to avoid! P.S, same with skin and haircare as well :)) ) DO! :)) -Wear gloves when doing jobs like washing dishes or sanding wood that could lead to water damage or simply break your nails.) -Use supplm. (supplements) that actually have ingredients proven to support nails/hair! -Use oils/serums that have been clinically proven to support nail growth or strength. Habits to stop: Stop buffing/removing peels! it doesn't help anything, and in fact can become the source of the problem! Stop wearing nail polish year-round on natural (or even gels/acrylics) nails. Nail polish should be ministered as a monthly/yearly treat, not a apply-it-whenever-it-chips thing. Stop using strengthened and hardeners unless you know for a fact that you have soft/bendy nails, because if you do not it can be bad for nails. Stop keeping your nails super short! Try to grow them out! Don't let them get super long, but maybe half of an average pinky finger at most. USE JOJOBA OIL AND OTHER NAIL-HELPING NATURAL OILS ON YOUR NAILS RIGOROUSLY! (Use nail oil and hot oil soaks.) File nails, try not to use cutters unless you use them on hangnails. File nails in a back-and-forth motion, not in one direction. LOVE YALL BYEE!!!
I just CAN'T with the wearing gloves. Everyone says you should, but it just makes unpleasant chores take longer and be even more unpleasant because my fingers feel all wrong and not as dexterous in the gloves.
This is amazing. Thank you so much for posting. I am in the same situation, ive been doing exactly the same believing it was correct. My doctor and nail advisor told me my nail deterioration was due to age ... now I know that's rubbish. I've just taken photos of my nails and will keep a photo diary weekly until they are as luscious as this lady's. I know they can be as they once were. Again, thank you for the inspiration and knowledge I haven't found elsewhere.
Hi Anna - I have had the same experience. My nails were peeling, brittle. I started pushing back my cuticles and using cuticle oil several times a day (I had covid so it was something to do while I recovered. I also threw out all my nail polish and replaced it with Dazzle Dry (my manicurist has been using it for several years now). I cannot describe the difference. First, I no longer have super dry skin around my nails to pick at. My proximal fold is totally normal. Massive reduction in hang nails. And best of all, my nails are long and lovely. In fact, as I am typing this, I think I will have to file them down a bit so I can type!!! I don’t have before and after photos but take my word for it. An amazing result. Thank you for educating me!
@@blessed9491 Dazzle Dry is a line of nail treatments and polished. I tried dazzle dry but I didn’t have any luck with it. If made my nails peel and break.
I am also a witness to the fact that you truly are an expert and a treasure. I am so grateful that I found you. I have been practicing gentle nail care using your guidance with excellent results. Mine is a longer journey as I am 65. My nails mistreated for so long. Anna, and MSL thank you for your channel and the love and enlightened knowledge you share with us. 🌸V
My cuticles are healthy after watching and implementing what you have shown. Using the blue cross remover cuticle remover and glass cuticle remover I have found that I I do not have to cut my cuticles anymore! I never thought I could reverse that. Thank you for teaching us. I wish I could have my nails painted by you. I enjoy watching how you transform nails, lovely.
This video popped up as I searched for nail care. So glad I watched it. I went back to your video archive and found the two videos on nail care. They were great. Your explanations and techniques were really clear. You are a wealth of information. Thank you. I am now subscribed to your channel. 😊
My nails look like her before picture. You just inspired me to take off my nail hardener I'm using to try to "strengthen" my nails. Thanks for a very informative video and for the viewer whose story you shared. 👏
Love that you point out that it comes to consistency and gentle care and not some miracle product!!! Gotta put in the work for amazing results 😍 (And these results are beyond!)
A huge thank you to your follower for sharing her experience. She's done a brilliant job. My nails were exactly like hers in her before pictures and I too went through various attempts to improve them. Mine are so much better since following your advice but not as good as hers, however I am 3 times her age 😵💫. I do keep mine shorter but hers are so beautiful 😍. I'm not as thorough with using oil but I'm working on it.
I know what you mean by age as I am 58 years old. I’ve gotten my nails healthier by using jojoba oil religiously but age is a factor in how they look. Your nails like your body age, too!
Oh my goodness. This email from her was as if I, myself, had written it. All the problems she had, all the things she tried, all the things she was doing incorrectly are ALL the things I have also done. I just found your channel last week and purchased most of the basic nail care items you described. They actually arrive this afternoon and I am committed to taking better care of my nails the RIGHT way and can't wait to begin. As I've been waiting for this order to arrive, I have been applying either nail oil or jojoba oil to my nails every time I wash my hands. I keep a bottle at each of the three sinks in our house so I have no excuses! Just by doing this one step, I am already seeing a bit of improvement. I am inspired to record my journey with photos, as your writer did, and will share on my social media so others can find you and follow as well. I am a crafter as are so many of my followers, and we all seem to struggle with nail problems due to the handling of paper, glues, paints, etc. I hope to be one of your success stories to share with them. Thank you for the great suggestions and tips here. I am now a faithful subbie!
I've been following your plan so my nails now look like her "June" pictures (they started out like the March photos). I'm looking forward to having beautiful, natural nails someday too. This video was so helpful -- thank you!
Hey what did you do exactly for your routine???? Do you paint them at all?? I heard tht helps to keep the water out of your nail so in confused please help
This was great. I have about the same issues as this person but only on my middle fingers, sometimes index. So this I felt like this was tailor made for me. I can already make some of the improvements she mentioned. Eg not filing the peel and letting it grow out. I already oil a lot but I will incorporate hot oil soak. The most difficult part is not painting my nails 😢
Thank you so much for sharing this! What a fabulous story….I have suffered with peeling nails too and been guilty of doing many of the same things , which I didn’t realize was making the problem worse! Such beautiful nails now😊Also thank you for all of the wonderful advice you have shared regarding cuticle care x
Wow! I'm seeing progress after 2 months, this is very inspirational as is your advice. ' Progress not perfection' is a saying of yours that I always hear if I feel impatient for more improvement. Will defo buy jojoba oil now, I want those results too!!!
Jojoba is the miracle oil for nails. I always apply it right onto my nails, top and bottom when bare. From the bottom when polished. My nails are the longest and strongest they've ever been since I started following Anna's videos. They were so weak and bendy before that they used to break if I looked at them funny. No more!
That is such a great story from this girl. So glad she shared it. And a wonderful testament to your teaching and the help you give. Her nails are beautiful and you're right, she could be a hand model. Thank you both 💕💅
I learn something every time I watch your videos, Anna. I've had terrible nails my whole life, and I'm using your recommendations to try to improve them. I never expected I could incorporate the jojoba oil after every handwashing so easily! As you suggested, I have little bottles of oil by all my sinks, and by my chair in the living room. Thank you!
My nails have been a mess recently. Very much like her first pictures. I'm a secretary by day and a cashier at night, so a lot of paperwork and hand washing. I stopped using polish. I've begun using oil frequently, I use Kerasal intense night treatment before bed, stopped using my nippers and I've already seen an improvement. Oil is everything.
Consistency and care is apply for everything! Wether you want to grow your nails, your hair, or make your body stronger… this video was really needed! I’m letting my nails grown and it is hard but I’m not painting them…. I hope they’ll come back healthy soon!♥️
What an incredible story and testament to the validity of your teachings, Anna! Thank you to this young lady for sharing her story. I feel like so very many of us can see similarities in the issues she experienced. My battered nails have fully recovered from a decade of acrylics, except for 3 issues: peeling on both of my pointer fingers, which makes them weak and break, stretched skin stuck to my left thumb for which I have to religiously use Kerasal, otherwise it wants to stick to my nail right away if I skip a few days or so, and lastly, ridgy nails….which I attribute to aging. Otherwise, my nails look pretty flippin’ healthy and nourished, all because of you, Anna ❤❤❤
WOW!!! What incredibly beautiful nails. Well done and thank you to the lady who took the time to share her nail journey back to health. It gives me hope!
Wow, her nails are so beautiful. What a transformation. I hope she is proud of her hard work! (I love that she has that cute little freckle on one of her fingers, because if anybody is skeptical, they will be able to see from the photos that this is the same person). I just found your channel, so thank you very much!
The hardest part of these nail transformation processess is that people say to stop wearing polish and like....I love painting my nails?? it's literally part of my hobbies and self-care and me time so the thought of saying no to that for multiple weeks makes it hard for me to follow something like this lol Beautiful transformation though.
@@cryptidofoz yeah, reading that also makes me sad because it makes having better looking nails completely pointless to me. The only reason I'm trying to grow them out and improve them is so I can wear colorful polish in the first place.
That's what I believed was the excellent solution all along...I bought a huge bottle of jojoba oil and will do this as well. Great testimony and video.🙌💯💞
This is really encouraging and proof that with loads of TLC you can bring badly damaged nails back to life! I've been applying gel polish to my nails now for over 6 years. I applied full cover gelly tips to my nails back in May/June of this year, they looked lovely, but when I came to remove them after 3 weeks wear, the removal process left my nails in an awful state. My left thumbnail had a vertical split in it right down at the cuticle - I thought my nails would never be the same again! So I decided they would need loads of TLC, I made my own cuticle oil with - guess what - jojoba oil, vitamin E oil and a few drops of rose essential oil - it smells gorgeous. As well as the cuticle oil I also apply BP grade castor oil daily, it strengthens the nails and helps them to grow quickly - I use one of the refillable cuticle oil pens. I keep them short just by filing - not cutting. They are looking really good now and the strongest I've ever known them to be and the vertical split is virtually gone, it's grown right out to the tip of my nail now so a couple more weeks of care and it'll be gone. So many people have left comments saying this UA-cam video could be talking about their own nails - myself included - so thank you for sharing this with us.
Thank you for the inspiration by showing us these beautiful nails. This woman is a good listener and star student! She did exactly what you teach us and her progress is proof. I’m so grateful for finding your channel in spring 2022. I’m still a picker, but never again will I ‘shine up’ my nails with a buffer and buff down those peels. I stopped doing that as soon as I found your channel. Anna, thank you so much for sharing your expertise! 🥰
WOW! Absolutely stunningly beautiful!!!! Congratulations on your resolve to stick to this regimen. The results are fantastic!!! Thank you so much for sharing with us all!!! 🤗😘👏🏻👐🏻
My nails looked exactly the same for years and I was doing the same mistakes - lots of 'nail hardeners and various treatments, always having them painted (the nail polish was constantly falling off so I painted them few times a week....), cutting them short, filing the peeling parts... A year ago I decided they look so terrible it can't get any worse and for the first time painted them with gel nail polish (which I had been using on my toes for a long time so I had all the equipment) and used a lot of jojoba oil around them after doing so. It lasted few days so more than any 'normal' nail polish could, I did it again and again until all the peeling parts FINALLY grew out completly. After a year I have natural 2cm nails - longer than I ever had in my life. I don't use any 'treatments' which only made things worse, I paint them with gel nail polish only and remove it carefully, still usings oils around them. I know I would probably achieve the same result faster if I didn't use any kind of nails polish for some time, but I really like having the painted ;)
What is the secret to getting such bright white and perfectly symmetrical white tips?! Mine are so uneven and nowhere near as white as these lovely nails...
This is super helpful! My nails look very much as these at the start. I also buffed my nails down to get rid of the slices. After watching your tutorials for the last month I made the same changes. Nails are looking better. This video really confirms I'm on the right track. Thank you!
Her nails are beautiful, i am 54 and still trying to get pretty nails. My mom also had bad nails, so I’m guessing a lot of mine is genetic. What is the jojoba oil you were talking about? I use the CND oil at night and I use the marvala a few times a week. I take biotin and collagen. So, as you can see I’ve tried a lot. Some improvement but very little. I don’t paint them because I use all of these things to help them grow.
Jojoba oil is a type of plant oil used as a moisturizer. 100% jojoba oil can be found at Target, Trader Joe’s, drugstores, or online shops like iHerb. Dessert Essence is one brand but there are many other brands too. I have found applying a tiny bit of oil to my nails a few times a day to be helpful. (Once in the morning & again in the evening. Sometimes 3 times a day if I remember.)
Biotin supplements have to be used with caution. In 2017 FDA put out a warning that biotin supplements can falsely lower troponin levels which are used to diagnose a heart attack.
Same situation here. I did a lot to my nails until I learned from you I was ALL wrong! I buffed, cut cuticles and all surrounding dry skin. I picked and they bled. I now hot oil soak, just 3 days now. I have a ridges problem. I oil and Aquaphor and Bag Balm, all day long. I sleep w/ oil-soaked hands in Aloe gloves. I have had compliments on my hands for 70 years, my nails grow fast and long.-but now, they look really great! I am getting used to no polish and will avoid anything else topical. Thank you so much for this valuable education. I really appreciate you!
Great video. What an inspirational transformation. Thank you both for sharing. This is why we need your channel. We need someone to teach us how to get healthy and therefore beautiful nails.
I love this story, these beautiful nails are my goal! For the last month I have been using jojoba oil after every hand wash , Kerasal cream once a day and no nail polish. Warm oil treatment once a week and I also treated myself to a bottle of OPI repair mode (which I really like) and some Cera Ve hand cream. My nails are better for sure and suddenly seem to grow quite fast, probably because they are breaking and peeling a lot less. However, I know I have some way to go yet so I keep them very short and I’ll just persevere. Whenever I need inspiration I watch this video again, I love it and I love your channel, it’s absolutely brilliant. Thank you! 💅🏻💕
Wow!!!! Thank you for sharing this story/case. It is truly encouraging. I am in the process of restoring my nails after removing gel manicure of bad quality. Though my nails were affected minimally, I do notice they suffered as a consequence of the gel removal. I will oil, not buff, moisturize skin all around, and oil some more until they are all restored. Great video! :)
Great and inspiring! This is yet another example of what a wonderful and effective educator you are. I too have beautiful and healthy nails ever since a started following your channel. Congratulations!.
I am on a nail journey myself and had the exact same issues as the woman in this video! 3 things have transformed my nails and pretty much look like her after photos: 1) gloves for dishes and no longer soaking in a hot tub every night. The constant water exposure, especially hot water, made them so thin and flimsy and peely 2) upped my protein and healthy fat intake. I was not getting nearly enough in my diet 3) OIL like her I have become religious about oiling my nails and cuticles and it’s been so good for my nails. Hope others can get the nails they have always wanted too!
I was happy to see this! My starter photos could be hers. This is so interesting and informative. And encouraging! I am grateful for you and for her share on this. I'm only a couple months in on my repair, but the fact that they don't immediately peel is very rewarding.
I have the same problem I will use the Jojoba oil and stop getting the nail tips thank you for this video I just stumbled upon this video and saw the title and decided to watch 💕
Thank you for sharing her nail journey. Proper care does make a difference. I buffed my nails for the first time for a party and was going to continue with the regimen until I stumbled upon this video. Throwing buffer away! I feel that I have healthy nails. My nails are strong but I can’t seem to grow them to her length because of the grime beneath the nails similar to hers 6 months ago. I’m constantly scraping to keep them clean. i wear gloves when gardening but not when rinsing dishes (hoping that will clean the nails). I gave up and have kept my nails short. I can’t be the only one to have this problem but I don’t know what to do. Any suggestions would be highly appreciated ❤
I should also snap photos of my progress because as a result of watchimg your videos, I stopped cutting & buffing (and now I am only filing), plus I stopped the gel polish (plan to order Dazzle Dry), and now only use a delicate cuticle pusher. The change I implemented just last week was jojoba oil (instead of the nail lubrication concoction I had of coconut sweet almond, and another oil combined. In just a week of pure jojoba oil after each handwash, ridges seem to have filled in. I see results, and can only imagine what will occur in the weeks ahead. Thanks for this channel.
Wow.. I'm so inspired by this video. I've been painting my nails for the last 20+ years. Love looking after them. But just realised that one of the reasons I refuse to have my nails bare is because I'm convinced they'll break. I'm inspired to focus on their health and not apply any nail polish for a few weeks or so and see what happens.
I don't think there's anything wrong with polishing your nails as long as you are doing everything else to properly care for them. Even Shellac and gel can be absolutely fine but it's hard to find a nail tech as good as Anna!
Omg they could be my nails! I knew jojoba oil was suggested but I had problems finding it, so I bought almond and castor oil, I put them inside a brush pen with a little tank and I use it easily troughout the day. Amazing transformation! I hope to achieve it too!
I wonder if she is my twin nail sister!! LOL. Almost my whole story. AND....AND... I'm doing everything that she has stopped doing. Soo, this 100's of dollars sitting on my nail shelves, will have to be given away!! Ohh, that hurts my feelings. But, I will do that to have my beautiful nails back that look like hers. Thanks to you both for this uplifting story . There is hope! Ya'll have great safe weekend.
I need to try this; my nails are just like hers and looks very bad. I used to get my nails professionally done then the pandemic came, every salon was closed so they began to break grow a little and break and peal. thanks for sharing.
In december 2022 my nails were nothing but a tragedy. However after 7 months of applying some oils onto my nails I can say that they have never looked better! They are strong and healthy. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. ❤
This gives me hope. Could be exactly my story.. at least the beginning haha. I'm hoping for similar results. My only problem is that I have a manual job and I tried not painting them but it made them so much worse because I constantly hit or catch them on something. I started oiling them as much as possible, which really helps but the peeling just doesn't grow out.. it's down too far on the nail plate to file it off. My nails do grow past the free edge but there is always new peeling further down 😐 I have put on some UV polish now (I know it's not what you recommend but I'm desperate lol) in hopes that it will last long enough for it to grow out my peels. Hope some day I can have a transformation / success story like the person in the video. Anyway Since watching your channel my nails have gone from thin and bendy (+ripping all the time) to stronger and thicker! Just the peeling is still there really. Thanks you so much for your videos they have helped a ton already.
You might be interested to know this, over the years I have had a hit and miss history with my nails, for health reasons I take vitamin and mineral supplements, but I am always changing brands etc , after watching Dr Berg on UA-cam I increased the amount of all B vitamins including vitamin H , now I only buy the activated B vitamins plus I increased my vitamin D and also zinc, I suddenly noticed my nails were so much better and my hair is slightly thicker, I also take magnesium daily so I am not sure which one has helped my nails but one of them has .
My nails look like the ones in the second picture and while they’re healthy and harm (from not painting them for years) I’ve never been able to grow them out much without them breaking , so will definitely try the oil treatments!!
My natural free edge has NEVER been that white and I am sooo jealous! Mine is always a dingey light yellow and I don’t wear a lot of polish and rarely dark polish. My nails have been revived because of your tutorials. Just wish they were whiter (may just be my genetics?)
Wow, I didn't realize people had this problem with their nails. People would always say how "nice" my nails look ever since I was a kid, and I never understood it until I got older (I'm 21 now) with all my co-workers talking about their nail problems and wanting to know what I do for mine. I don't even paint mine, or do anything really. I just got thick healthy nails and hair from my dad, while my mom had the nail and hair problems, especially after giving birth. It came down to genetic luck for me, but now I'm anxious about getting my first manicure, since I've heard that it damages your natural nails if you get fake ones, but found this instead. Now I know I can take care of my nails even if they get damaged from a manicure! Thank you!
Unfortunately there are many nail salons that really don’t care about the health of natural nails. Where are you located? You can definitely learn how to manicure your own nails. It can be quite therapeutic and relaxing actually! I show how I do my manicures in many of my videos :)
Amazing results, thanks for allowing us to see your progress, your nails are beautiful. Anna as always your technique for natural nails is incredible, thank you for all the you do 💐
Wow! Just like my peeling, such an informative item, I'm upping my game with regular oiling, I too had tried allsorts of treatments. Thx for sharing this, such a useful piece 👍🏻

This works! I saw this video and realized that water was causing my nails to peel and they looked terrible. I started applying oil to my nails several times throughout the day, especially after water exposure, and started wearing gloves at work to keep my hands clean and not need to wash as often. I was shocked to see my hands and nails looking better immediately. Within a couple days I could see real improvement. My nails no longer peel and break. It has been about 2 months. Thank you so much for your research, information, and suggestions!
So happy to hear about this! ❤️
Invest in a water filter if you can, too.
What sort of gloves did you wear daily?
These are truly the most gorgeous natural nails I’ve ever seen - what an incredible, inspiring transformation with such GENTLE, consistent, and sensible care. Wow wow wow! Thank you so much to her and to you for sharing this with us. It truly shoes the proof of what you preach. Not that I needed convincing, but it’s still an absolutely incredible transformation!
Thank you!
My nails were similar to the first picture and I was despairing that they would never be better. Since watching this video I have:
*stopped all hardeners and nail polishes
*been using various oils and urea cream on my nails
*doing warm oil soaks
*regularly filing
and they are so much better already after about 3 weeks.
They feel glossy and are naturally shiny.
So good to hear! Thank you for your feedback and sharing what worked for you! Please take pictures. I would love to see your progress!
2 weeks on and the peeling is gone. One thumb nail had a bit of a split but I have filed it and it seems OK now.
Thanks to your viewer for sharing her experience. There are so many articles promoting buffing as an alternative to nail polish and using the word “cuticle” to refer to the proximal nail fold that consumers are confused. My nails have improved using your advice.
Just one observation, the first picture comparison is not 3 months apart, but 1 year and 3 months (from March 2021 to June 2022)
This could be my story with peeling nails ! I’ve gone through the same steps as your writer in trying to salvage my nails ,now I hope that by stopping buffing down the peeling portion of my nails I’ll have filled in the final piece to this nail puzzle. I’ve also just put my jojoba oil next to my kitchen sink as a reminder to apply after getting my hands wet. I believe the magic portion to healthy nails is patience which is something I’m sorely lacking . I hope that in a months time I can report back with my own positive results. Please thank your UA-cam fan for allowing you to share her story with us it was generous of her to put her experience down on paper. Your UA-cam channel is a font of good / honest information ,I’m very grateful I stumbled upon it. Now it’s up to me to put your advice into action. Thank you.
How are things going! I'm eager to know if anything has changed :)
@@hannahko6833 I am very happy with the changes in my nails so far. I can’t believe it was 2 months ago since I stumbled on this video ,what a game changer. I now give my nails a nice warm oil soak once a week that plus using my jojoba oil pen during the day I can see a huge improvement in the peeling. My manicure is lasting at least 7 days ,I’m so impressed with the overall changes I’ve made and the outcome so far. I’m still a work in progress but my nails have never looked this good.
I'm curious for updates as well ☺️
This is my same story too! I started in August and now they look just like hers! The tips you post are amazing and I can attest to the results. Patience and consistency. Thank you for sharing her story!
Can you tell me exactly what you did please? I thought having your nails painted keeps the water away. And I too have 2 little once I’m constantly washing my hands and still use oil a lot
Can you please share how you make the grown out part of the nail so white? Mine always looks yellowish and dusty
@@yelenatsytsynit’s so self explanatory the commenter says she did what this lady in the video did..
OMG 👏👏👏 perfection!!! Now you can see Anna, why we love you so much and why you’re so important in our lives❣️Thank you both👍❤️
I followed what this video says. Stopped nail paint, used opi repair mode and jojoba oil. Three months later my nails look like hers after years of not being able to grow them and have them peel all the time. Nail paint is an occasional luxury is what I have learnt if I want healthy nails. Thank you for posting this video!
So here is a quick summary of what to do and not to do for those who are a little bit lazy :))
DON'T!!
-Do your own shellac and/or dip nails
-Buff off the nail peelings
-Keeping nails as short as possible (keep your natural nails short, but not down-to-the-skin short!)
-Constantly apply new coats of protectant or polish. (It can actually be better to not wear any polish at all!)
-Use a bunch of different supplm. or topicals too often (look at the ingredients and know what to look for and what to avoid! P.S, same with skin and haircare as well :)) )
DO! :))
-Wear gloves when doing jobs like washing dishes or sanding wood that could lead to water damage or simply break your nails.)
-Use supplm. (supplements) that actually have ingredients proven to support nails/hair!
-Use oils/serums that have been clinically proven to support nail growth or strength.
Habits to stop:
Stop buffing/removing peels! it doesn't help anything, and in fact can become the source of the problem!
Stop wearing nail polish year-round on natural (or even gels/acrylics) nails. Nail polish should be ministered as a monthly/yearly treat, not a apply-it-whenever-it-chips thing.
Stop using strengthened and hardeners unless you know for a fact that you have soft/bendy nails, because if you do not it can be bad for nails.
Stop keeping your nails super short! Try to grow them out! Don't let them get super long, but maybe half of an average pinky finger at most.
USE JOJOBA OIL AND OTHER NAIL-HELPING NATURAL OILS ON YOUR NAILS RIGOROUSLY! (Use nail oil and hot oil soaks.)
File nails, try not to use cutters unless you use them on hangnails.
File nails in a back-and-forth motion, not in one direction.
LOVE YALL BYEE!!!
So good to find something that works so well.
Why not keep the nails short???
Oh thanks. And dbl thanks for the lady tip (file nails back & forth NOT in one direction). Agreed. But no one says it's good. So TY 🌹
I just CAN'T with the wearing gloves. Everyone says you should, but it just makes unpleasant chores take longer and be even more unpleasant because my fingers feel all wrong and not as dexterous in the gloves.
@@mchobbit2951 You will get used to it
Wow, she has a good soul to share her journey with us. Thank you for helping her and reading her email.
This is amazing. Thank you so much for posting. I am in the same situation, ive been doing exactly the same believing it was correct. My doctor and nail advisor told me my nail deterioration was due to age ... now I know that's rubbish. I've just taken photos of my nails and will keep a photo diary weekly until they are as luscious as this lady's. I know they can be as they once were. Again, thank you for the inspiration and knowledge I haven't found elsewhere.
You are so welcome!
Hi Anna - I have had the same experience. My nails were peeling, brittle. I started pushing back my cuticles and using cuticle oil several times a day (I had covid so it was something to do while I recovered. I also threw out all my nail polish and replaced it with Dazzle Dry (my manicurist has been using it for several years now). I cannot describe the difference. First, I no longer have super dry skin around my nails to pick at. My proximal fold is totally normal. Massive reduction in hang nails. And best of all, my nails are long and lovely. In fact, as I am typing this, I think I will have to file them down a bit so I can type!!! I don’t have before and after photos but take my word for it. An amazing result. Thank you for educating me!
What is dazzle dry pls ? Is it available in Canada ?
Did you start soaking your nail in oil? Should I get my nails in shape first then use the dazzle dry system? Thanks.
I tried the dazzle dry line of products and they made my nails feel more brittle and break and peel.
@@blessed9491 Dazzle Dry is a line of nail treatments and polished. I tried dazzle dry but I didn’t have any luck with it. If made my nails peel and break.
@@islandprincess9666OK thanks for replying
I am also a witness to the fact that you truly are an expert and a treasure. I am so grateful that I found you. I have been practicing gentle nail care using your guidance with excellent results. Mine is a longer journey as I am 65. My nails mistreated for so long. Anna, and MSL thank you for your channel and the love and enlightened knowledge you share with us. 🌸V
Thank you to my fellow Canadian for sharing your story so that Anna could share with us! Truly a transformation. Just love a good case study 😊
wowww what a change..... they look so so beautiful and healthy 😱
I'm now in the process of working on my nails. I'm so glad I found your chain. I find all your videos helpful. Thank You!
My cuticles are healthy after watching and implementing what you have shown. Using the blue cross remover cuticle remover and glass cuticle remover I have found that I I do not have to cut my cuticles anymore! I never thought I could reverse that. Thank you for teaching us. I wish I could have my nails painted by you. I enjoy watching how you transform nails, lovely.
This video popped up as I searched for nail care. So glad I watched it. I went back to your video archive and found the two videos on nail care. They were great. Your explanations and techniques were really clear. You are a wealth of information. Thank you. I am now subscribed to your channel. 😊
You are so welcome!
My nails look like her before picture. You just inspired me to take off my nail hardener I'm using to try to "strengthen" my nails. Thanks for a very informative video and for the viewer whose story you shared. 👏
Love that you point out that it comes to consistency and gentle care and not some miracle product!!! Gotta put in the work for amazing results 😍 (And these results are beyond!)
These tips have transformed my nails. So happy I found your video. Thank you so much!!
A huge thank you to your follower for sharing her experience. She's done a brilliant job. My nails were exactly like hers in her before pictures and I too went through various attempts to improve them. Mine are so much better since following your advice but not as good as hers, however I am 3 times her age 😵💫. I do keep mine shorter but hers are so beautiful 😍. I'm not as thorough with using oil but I'm working on it.
I know what you mean by age as I am 58 years old. I’ve gotten my nails healthier by using jojoba oil religiously but age is a factor in how they look. Your nails like your body age, too!
Oh my goodness. This email from her was as if I, myself, had written it. All the problems she had, all the things she tried, all the things she was doing incorrectly are ALL the things I have also done. I just found your channel last week and purchased most of the basic nail care items you described. They actually arrive this afternoon and I am committed to taking better care of my nails the RIGHT way and can't wait to begin. As I've been waiting for this order to arrive, I have been applying either nail oil or jojoba oil to my nails every time I wash my hands. I keep a bottle at each of the three sinks in our house so I have no excuses! Just by doing this one step, I am already seeing a bit of improvement. I am inspired to record my journey with photos, as your writer did, and will share on my social media so others can find you and follow as well. I am a crafter as are so many of my followers, and we all seem to struggle with nail problems due to the handling of paper, glues, paints, etc. I hope to be one of your success stories to share with them. Thank you for the great suggestions and tips here. I am now a faithful subbie!
Thanks for sharing Annette!
I've been following your plan so my nails now look like her "June" pictures (they started out like the March photos). I'm looking forward to having beautiful, natural nails someday too. This video was so helpful -- thank you!
I'm in about the same spot as you right now.
Hey what did you do exactly for your routine???? Do you paint them at all?? I heard tht helps to keep the water out of your nail so in confused please help
This was great. I have about the same issues as this person but only on my middle fingers, sometimes index. So this I felt like this was tailor made for me. I can already make some of the improvements she mentioned. Eg not filing the peel and letting it grow out. I already oil a lot but I will incorporate hot oil soak. The most difficult part is not painting my nails 😢
Thank you so much for sharing this! What a fabulous story….I have suffered with peeling nails too and been guilty of doing many of the same things , which I didn’t realize was making the problem worse! Such beautiful nails now😊Also thank you for all of the wonderful advice you have shared regarding cuticle care x
Wow! I'm seeing progress after 2 months, this is very inspirational as is your advice. ' Progress not perfection' is a saying of yours that I always hear if I feel impatient for more improvement. Will defo buy jojoba oil now, I want those results too!!!
Jojoba is the miracle oil for nails. I always apply it right onto my nails, top and bottom when bare. From the bottom when polished. My nails are the longest and strongest they've ever been since I started following Anna's videos. They were so weak and bendy before that they used to break if I looked at them funny. No more!
That is such a great story from this girl. So glad she shared it. And a wonderful testament to your teaching and the help you give. Her nails are beautiful and you're right, she could be a hand model. Thank you both 💕💅
I learn something every time I watch your videos, Anna. I've had terrible nails my whole life, and I'm using your recommendations to try to improve them. I never expected I could incorporate the jojoba oil after every handwashing so easily! As you suggested, I have little bottles of oil by all my sinks, and by my chair in the living room. Thank you!
I'm so glad!
Beautiful! It's great to see how a natural and consistent routine can change the health of one's nails. Thank you for sharing this!💝
My nails have been a mess recently. Very much like her first pictures. I'm a secretary by day and a cashier at night, so a lot of paperwork and hand washing. I stopped using polish. I've begun using oil frequently, I use Kerasal intense night treatment before bed, stopped using my nippers and I've already seen an improvement. Oil is everything.
My nails look like her first pic. I can’t wait to try these methods! Thank you for everything!❤
how did it go?
How lovely, such an improvement!
Well done to the lady and all credit to you Anna for inspiring her and providing your valuable advice.
WOW! This gives me hope. Thank you Anna and "A".
Her nails are beautiful!! You are so kind to share your valuable information. Thank you!!
These tips have transformed my nails!!! I recommend them to everybody
🙏 thank you!!!
Consistency and care is apply for everything! Wether you want to grow your nails, your hair, or make your body stronger… this video was really needed! I’m letting my nails grown and it is hard but I’m not painting them…. I hope they’ll come back healthy soon!♥️
What an incredible story and testament to the validity of your teachings, Anna! Thank you to this young lady for sharing her story. I feel like so very many of us can see similarities in the issues she experienced. My battered nails have fully recovered from a decade of acrylics, except for 3 issues: peeling on both of my pointer fingers, which makes them weak and break, stretched skin stuck to my left thumb for which I have to religiously use Kerasal, otherwise it wants to stick to my nail right away if I skip a few days or so, and lastly, ridgy nails….which I attribute to aging. Otherwise, my nails look pretty flippin’ healthy and nourished, all because of you, Anna ❤❤❤
WOW!!! What incredibly beautiful nails. Well done and thank you to the lady who took the time to share her nail journey back to health. It gives me hope!
Thank you Gillypen
Wow, her nails are so beautiful. What a transformation. I hope she is proud of her hard work! (I love that she has that cute little freckle on one of her fingers, because if anybody is skeptical, they will be able to see from the photos that this is the same person).
I just found your channel, so thank you very much!
This helps me so much because my nail peel, and are very weak and never knew how to be confident abt them, so happy I found your channel
You are so welcome!
This to me was a Testimonial, And Thank you both dear ladies for writing thus and reading this Outloud!! ❤️ ❤️❤️🙏🏼✨️🤗
Wow gorgeous transformation!! Her natural smile lines are so perfect they look painted 💅🏼
The hardest part of these nail transformation processess is that people say to stop wearing polish and like....I love painting my nails?? it's literally part of my hobbies and self-care and me time so the thought of saying no to that for multiple weeks makes it hard for me to follow something like this lol Beautiful transformation though.
The desire to put nail polish on your nails will depend on how bad you want your nails to be healthy
@@cryptidofoz yeah, reading that also makes me sad because it makes having better looking nails completely pointless to me. The only reason I'm trying to grow them out and improve them is so I can wear colorful polish in the first place.
That's what I believed was the excellent solution all along...I bought a huge bottle of jojoba oil and will do this as well. Great testimony and video.🙌💯💞
This is really encouraging and proof that with loads of TLC you can bring badly damaged nails back to life! I've been applying gel polish to my nails now for over 6 years. I applied full cover gelly tips to my nails back in May/June of this year, they looked lovely, but when I came to remove them after 3 weeks wear, the removal process left my nails in an awful state. My left thumbnail had a vertical split in it right down at the cuticle - I thought my nails would never be the same again! So I decided they would need loads of TLC, I made my own cuticle oil with - guess what - jojoba oil, vitamin E oil and a few drops of rose essential oil - it smells gorgeous. As well as the cuticle oil I also apply BP grade castor oil daily, it strengthens the nails and helps them to grow quickly - I use one of the refillable cuticle oil pens. I keep them short just by filing - not cutting. They are looking really good now and the strongest I've ever known them to be and the vertical split is virtually gone, it's grown right out to the tip of my nail now so a couple more weeks of care and it'll be gone.
So many people have left comments saying this UA-cam video could be talking about their own nails - myself included - so thank you for sharing this with us.
Thank you for the inspiration by showing us these beautiful nails. This woman is a good listener and star student! She did exactly what you teach us and her progress is proof. I’m so grateful for finding your channel in spring 2022. I’m still a picker, but never again will I ‘shine up’ my nails with a buffer and buff down those peels. I stopped doing that as soon as I found your channel. Anna, thank you so much for sharing your expertise! 🥰
WOW! Absolutely stunningly beautiful!!!! Congratulations on your resolve to stick to this regimen. The results are fantastic!!! Thank you so much for sharing with us all!!! 🤗😘👏🏻👐🏻
My nails looked exactly the same for years and I was doing the same mistakes - lots of 'nail hardeners and various treatments, always having them painted (the nail polish was constantly falling off so I painted them few times a week....), cutting them short, filing the peeling parts... A year ago I decided they look so terrible it can't get any worse and for the first time painted them with gel nail polish (which I had been using on my toes for a long time so I had all the equipment) and used a lot of jojoba oil around them after doing so. It lasted few days so more than any 'normal' nail polish could, I did it again and again until all the peeling parts FINALLY grew out completly. After a year I have natural 2cm nails - longer than I ever had in my life. I don't use any 'treatments' which only made things worse, I paint them with gel nail polish only and remove it carefully, still usings oils around them. I know I would probably achieve the same result faster if I didn't use any kind of nails polish for some time, but I really like having the painted ;)
What is the secret to getting such bright white and perfectly symmetrical white tips?! Mine are so uneven and nowhere near as white as these lovely nails...
This is super helpful! My nails look very much as these at the start. I also buffed my nails down to get rid of the slices. After watching your tutorials for the last month I made the same changes. Nails are looking better. This video really confirms I'm on the right track. Thank you!
These are my nail goals!!! I've always wondered how some people have such beautiful natural nails.
Her nails are beautiful, i am 54 and still trying to get pretty nails. My mom also had bad nails, so I’m guessing a lot of mine is genetic. What is the jojoba oil you were talking about? I use the CND oil at night and I use the marvala a few times a week. I take biotin and collagen. So, as you can see I’ve tried a lot. Some improvement but very little. I don’t paint them because I use all of these things to help them grow.
Jojoba oil is a type of plant oil used as a moisturizer. 100% jojoba oil can be found at Target, Trader Joe’s, drugstores, or online shops like iHerb. Dessert Essence is one brand but there are many other brands too. I have found applying a tiny bit of oil to my nails a few times a day to be helpful. (Once in the morning & again in the evening. Sometimes 3 times a day if I remember.)
I bought jojoba oil from Amazon and then the plastic pens that you put the oil into..easy to brush the oil on.
Biotin supplements have to be used with caution. In 2017 FDA put out a warning that biotin supplements can falsely lower troponin levels which are used to diagnose a heart attack.
Same situation here. I did a lot to my nails until I learned from you I was ALL wrong! I buffed, cut cuticles and all surrounding dry skin. I picked and they bled. I now hot oil soak, just 3 days now. I have a ridges problem. I oil and Aquaphor and Bag Balm, all day long. I sleep w/ oil-soaked hands in Aloe gloves. I have had compliments on my hands for 70 years, my nails grow fast and long.-but now, they look really great! I am getting used to no polish and will avoid anything else topical. Thank you so much for this valuable education. I really appreciate you!
Great video. What an inspirational transformation. Thank you both for sharing. This is why we need your channel. We need someone to teach us how to get healthy and therefore beautiful nails.
Oh my gosh!! This first photo is my nails!! I thought there was no hope..
I am now VERY motivated!! Thank you both for sharing!!!
I love this story, these beautiful nails are my goal! For the last month I have been using jojoba oil after every hand wash , Kerasal cream once a day and no nail polish. Warm oil treatment once a week and I also treated myself to a bottle of OPI repair mode (which I really like) and some Cera Ve hand cream. My nails are better for sure and suddenly seem to grow quite fast, probably because they are breaking and peeling a lot less. However, I know I have some way to go yet so I keep them very short and I’ll just persevere. Whenever I need inspiration I watch this video again, I love it and I love your channel, it’s absolutely brilliant. Thank you! 💅🏻💕
Wow!!!! Thank you for sharing this story/case. It is truly encouraging. I am in the process of restoring my nails after removing gel manicure of bad quality. Though my nails were affected minimally, I do notice they suffered as a consequence of the gel removal.
I will oil, not buff, moisturize skin all around, and oil some more until they are all restored.
Great video! :)
Great and inspiring! This is yet another example of what a wonderful and effective educator you are. I too have beautiful and healthy nails ever since a started following your channel. Congratulations!.
I am on a nail journey myself and had the exact same issues as the woman in this video! 3 things have transformed my nails and pretty much look like her after photos: 1) gloves for dishes and no longer soaking in a hot tub every night. The constant water exposure, especially hot water, made them so thin and flimsy and peely 2) upped my protein and healthy fat intake. I was not getting nearly enough in my diet 3) OIL like her I have become religious about oiling my nails and cuticles and it’s been so good for my nails. Hope others can get the nails they have always wanted too!
I was happy to see this! My starter photos could be hers. This is so interesting and informative. And encouraging! I am grateful for you and for her share on this. I'm only a couple months in on my repair, but the fact that they don't immediately peel is very rewarding.
Amazing transformation of her nails. Thanks for sharing your knowledge to help us improve our natural nails.👏🏾🇬🇧
Amazing and inspiring! Thank you so much Anna and thanks so much to this viewer for sharing her story. ❤
I have the same problem I will use the Jojoba oil and stop getting the nail tips thank you for this video I just stumbled upon this video and saw the title and decided to watch 💕
Thank you for sharing her nail journey. Proper care does make a difference. I buffed my nails for the first time for a party and was going to continue with the regimen until I stumbled upon this video. Throwing buffer away! I feel that I have healthy nails. My nails are strong but I can’t seem to grow them to her length because of the grime beneath the nails similar to hers 6 months ago. I’m constantly scraping to keep them clean. i wear gloves when gardening but not when rinsing dishes (hoping that will clean the nails). I gave up and have kept my nails short. I can’t be the only one to have this problem but I don’t know what to do. Any suggestions would be highly appreciated ❤
Such beautiful result! Thank you for sharing it gives me hope and is encouraging to keep the regimen up! Thank you ❤
Thanks for sharing your story and thanks for allowing her to show all of us that have identical pre-treatment nails
So many great tips! I might take a break from nail polish and start with oil.
I should also snap photos of my progress because as a result of watchimg your videos, I stopped cutting & buffing (and now I am only filing), plus I stopped the gel polish (plan to order Dazzle Dry), and now only use a delicate cuticle pusher. The change I implemented just last week was jojoba oil (instead of the nail lubrication concoction I had of coconut sweet almond, and another oil combined. In just a week of pure jojoba oil after each handwash, ridges seem to have filled in. I see results, and can only imagine what will occur in the weeks ahead. Thanks for this channel.
Exactly same issue and now have been using jojoba oil just for 3 weeks and already see huge improvement!
Wow.. I'm so inspired by this video. I've been painting my nails for the last 20+ years. Love looking after them.
But just realised that one of the reasons I refuse to have my nails bare is because I'm convinced they'll break. I'm inspired to focus on their health and not apply any nail polish for a few weeks or so and see what happens.
I am so very happy your channel is growing! You deserve all the best because of your hard work and sincere expert advice.🥰🥰🥰
I don't think there's anything wrong with polishing your nails as long as you are doing everything else to properly care for them. Even Shellac and gel can be absolutely fine but it's hard to find a nail tech as good as Anna!
Omg they could be my nails! I knew jojoba oil was suggested but I had problems finding it, so I bought almond and castor oil, I put them inside a brush pen with a little tank and I use it easily troughout the day. Amazing transformation! I hope to achieve it too!
Skip the castor. It's the least absorbable oil. Jojoba is a very good oil because it's the closest to our body's sebum.
I wonder if she is my twin nail sister!! LOL. Almost my whole story. AND....AND... I'm doing everything that she has stopped doing. Soo, this 100's of dollars sitting on my nail shelves, will have to be given away!! Ohh, that hurts my feelings. But, I will do that to have my beautiful nails back that look like hers. Thanks to you both for this uplifting story . There is hope! Ya'll have great safe weekend.
Thanks to your viewer for sharing and to you for the no-nonsense advise. Brilliant transformation 👏
Thank you to your viewer for sharing. Incredible transformation and very inspiring!
Wow! My nails currently look exactly like the "before" picture. Can't wait to fix my nails ☺️
I need to try this; my nails are just like hers and looks very bad. I used to get my nails professionally done then the pandemic came, every salon was closed so they began to break grow a little and break and peal. thanks for sharing.
This is exactly how my nail journey has gone. I did also use that ISDIN nail serum and it does feel like it helped.
Thanks, The Salon Life 🌸 You educate & inspire us!
I’ve gone all natural for two weeks and already see a change! Been doing warm nail soaks and Maxus jojoba butter. No more nail polish for me!
In december 2022 my nails were nothing but a tragedy. However after 7 months of applying some oils onto my nails I can say that they have never looked better! They are strong and healthy. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. ❤
So good to hear this! Thank you so much for sharing your experience :)) 🤗 You are very welcome!
Wow!! I’m so glad I found your channel!! Second video I’ve watched, very informative
Thank you sooo much!!!!
This gives me hope. Could be exactly my story.. at least the beginning haha. I'm hoping for similar results. My only problem is that I have a manual job and I tried not painting them but it made them so much worse because I constantly hit or catch them on something. I started oiling them as much as possible, which really helps but the peeling just doesn't grow out.. it's down too far on the nail plate to file it off. My nails do grow past the free edge but there is always new peeling further down 😐 I have put on some UV polish now (I know it's not what you recommend but I'm desperate lol) in hopes that it will last long enough for it to grow out my peels. Hope some day I can have a transformation / success story like the person in the video.
Anyway Since watching your channel my nails have gone from thin and bendy (+ripping all the time) to stronger and thicker! Just the peeling is still there really. Thanks you so much for your videos they have helped a ton already.
You might be interested to know this, over the years I have had a hit and miss history with my nails, for health reasons I take vitamin and mineral supplements, but I am always changing brands etc , after watching Dr Berg on UA-cam I increased the amount of all B vitamins including vitamin H , now I only buy the activated B vitamins plus I increased my vitamin D and also zinc, I suddenly noticed my nails were so much better and my hair is slightly thicker, I also take magnesium daily so I am not sure which one has helped my nails but one of them has .
Wow! Beautiful story and SO well described! Thank you Anna and your Viewer so much! -Jenny
My nails look like the ones in the second picture and while they’re healthy and harm (from not painting them for years) I’ve never been able to grow them out much without them breaking , so will definitely try the oil treatments!!
I hope I get to this point! Thank her for sharing! Her nails are beautiful!! ❤
My natural free edge has NEVER been that white and I am sooo jealous! Mine is always a dingey light yellow and I don’t wear a lot of polish and rarely dark polish. My nails have been revived because of your tutorials. Just wish they were whiter (may just be my genetics?)
An application of lemon oil will whiten them but is very drying so be sure to give your nails an oil soak afterward.
Try rubbing whitening toothpaste, a litte lemon juice in water
Wow, consistency is key in anything we do. 🤩🙏 Thank you for sharing this.
Wow, I didn't realize people had this problem with their nails. People would always say how "nice" my nails look ever since I was a kid, and I never understood it until I got older (I'm 21 now) with all my co-workers talking about their nail problems and wanting to know what I do for mine. I don't even paint mine, or do anything really. I just got thick healthy nails and hair from my dad, while my mom had the nail and hair problems, especially after giving birth. It came down to genetic luck for me, but now I'm anxious about getting my first manicure, since I've heard that it damages your natural nails if you get fake ones, but found this instead. Now I know I can take care of my nails even if they get damaged from a manicure! Thank you!
Unfortunately there are many nail salons that really don’t care about the health of natural nails. Where are you located?
You can definitely learn how to manicure your own nails. It can be quite therapeutic and relaxing actually! I show how I do my manicures in many of my videos :)
Amazing results, thanks for allowing us to see your progress, your nails are beautiful. Anna as always your technique for natural nails is incredible, thank you for all the you do 💐
I'm trying her method-hard not to polish at least clear on my nails but I've made it two months now with oil only and natural manicure. Doing well.
this is exactly how my nails are now(on the left) super helpful video. thank you for sharing
Wow! Just like my peeling, such an informative item, I'm upping my game with regular oiling, I too had tried allsorts of treatments. Thx for sharing this, such a useful piece 👍🏻
Mine did this in my 20s. I found apricot oil and started using it on my bare nails. Eventually the peeling grew out.
I enjoy watching videos about nail care because I learn so much.
