      Do you have tips for white lines/spots on toe nails? I was trying to figure out what causes them and what to do. I have healed my fingernails and my toe nails have been dry after using undiluted tea tree oil. it was a terrible mistake and after a year still seeing brittle nails. I have been using kerasal n now leaving unpolished with hopes it will grow out

    I used to be SO rough on my cuticles when doing my manicures on my natural nails. Especially my thumbs. I would end up with severely wavy thumbnails. I would also use a cuticle nipper and cut the skin barrier (can't think of the appropriate name for it) around the nail bed. Then wonder why I struggled so much to have normal healthy nails!! So I have learned to use white cross cuticle remover when doing my manicures and GENTLY pushing back my cuticles with my purple Tweezerman cuticle tool. Keeping my nails moisturized with good oil and at night I use the Kerasal Intensive Foot Repair ointment for the overgrown skin around my nailbed and sides of my nails. And practicing PATIENCE (hard for me to do as I wanted immediate results!) to work towards healthy nails again. Just want to sincerely thank you for your guidance!! I watch your videos on UA-cam as I'm getting ready in the morning for work 😊👍🏼

    Buy the nail kit!!!! I am obsessed
    1. File
    2. Gently push nail fold to expose cuticle
    3. Blue cross cuticle remover + leave on for 2 mins (one hand at a time)
    4. Rinse off with water (spray bottle) and dry with clean towel, leaving some moisture
    5. Scrape off cuticle with sharp edge tool (can also use to gently clean under nail later)
    6. Buff free edge of nail with 280/280
    7. Apply nail salve to nail beds and cuticles
    This was for me but hope it helps!

    Anna, I have learnt so much from you.
    For the longest time i hated how my hands looked. My nails were always broad and flat, which made my already plumpy fingers more fat. I started filing my nails like you showed in one of your videos and over time i was able to give them an almond shape. Now i regularly take care of my hands. My nails are healthy and less brittle. I have never been this happier with them. All thanks to you.
    Now i do my own mani and pedi because it's self love and allow me to relax and feel good about myself. My hands and feet feel beautiful now.
    Also my husband asked if my fingers are getting leaner. It's because of the almond nails wink wink 😅

    • @TheSalonLife
      @TheSalonLife  Місяць тому +5

      Sometimes the cuticle is stuck and there is more of it (like in the case of my middle finger) and sometimes the skin fold is stuck and stretched. If you are talking about the skin fold then gently nudge it every couple of days and use exfoliant like Kerasal for that skin to become elastic and bounce back.

    • @TheSalonLife
      @TheSalonLife  Місяць тому

      Skin fold doesn't grow. It can stretched if it's stuck to the nail plate. It takes time for the skin to heal if you've been cutting it for a while. Nudge it gently every few days and use an exfoliant every night.
      Here is a video I make where I discuss it

    Thank you for sharing. Your manicure looks amazing! Watching this video really confirmed that I have been doing it correcty for many years. Down to cleaning the skin cells under the nails after. Question: how can I get to order some files and cuticle pushers from you? Is it fine to do a manicure soaking my hands in a mild soapy warm water to soften my cutices and then use a cuticle pusher instead of a cuticle remover solution?, or can I choose to use those electric nail drills (this is the method Ive done for years without lifting up my skin folds, it pushes it back along with ridding of my cuticles) after soaking my hands in warm soapy water? This last question is the method I have been doing for 10 years myself and never had a problem. Blessings~

    • @TheSalonLife
      @TheSalonLife  28 днів тому

      Well, cuticle cannot be cut really. If you are cutting something then it’s most likely skin fold. Skin fold does not really “grows”. It does not crawl down the nail. If the skin is stuck to the nail the nail will pull it down or if the skin has been cut it forms almost like a scab because it’s trying to heal.
      Check out these videos where I explain more about the skin fold and cuticle and what to do in this case.

    Dear Anna, I’m so excited for you and I’m going to purchase your products. Maybe you’re going to launch your own nail polish one day 🤩💓. Would you consider testing nail polish from the brands GITTI and KURE BAZAAR? A nude pink for the office and a fancy red? I hope it’s not rude from me to ask this but I’m desperately searching for a „healthy“ nail polish that lasts for five days with no chipping, since I have no time for manicure on weekdays due to work. These two brands I would be able to order online and I like their colors. Love your work ❤️

    • @TheSalonLife
      @TheSalonLife  Місяць тому +4

      Thank you so much for your message, to be honest there are no "healthy" or "unhealthy" nail polishes but they are brands that use deceptive marketing using scare tactics to sell their products. I can't stand that to be honest.
      All polishes are "healthy" when used as properly. On healthy nails any nail polish should stay 5 days. You need a good foundation, not a stronger polish.
      By the way, sometimes actually opposite is true. Some companies use ingredients and formulas that have stronger bond to the nail which can actually cause some surface damage to the nail.
      The free from needs to stop though. They are selling fat free water. What's next?
      Maybe I should come up with low calorie polish? lol

    Morning Anna from Wales 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿… you mentioned you weren’t selling the salve😢 …do you have a recipe to make it like you did with the nail oil? Appreciate all your advice, my nails have improved greatly - thanks for sharing your knowledge 🤩

      @@TheSalonLife I use either Blue Cross or some by Orly. The Blue Cross is fast, but I learnt from your videos to keep it off the surrounding skin as much as possible. I never knew that before and wondered why my surrounding skin was so dry afterwards. It’s wonderful now that I know that information, so thank you! I do mine at home because I’m a nurse who sleeps days and works nights (7p-7a) and salons are always closed while I’m sleeping, haha.

    Whenever I do my nails just doing the basics can take me at least an hour. I usually do the basics then the rest (polishing, etc) the following day. Then again I have ADHD so distractions make the process lengthy

      Keep practicing and it gets faster. This is why I recommend doing simple manicures once a week. Less to do and more practice:)

    Hello Anna! I found your channel back in March and have been faithfully following your advice for manicures and learning a lot along the way. I think the most important detail I’ve picked up is learning what the cuticle actually is and loving that you are an advocate for gentle but effective natural nail care that doesn’t involve clipping that area of the skin. Pushing the skin back gives my nails that clean look without risking injury (I was always too scared to clip that area and never did.) Following your advice and techniques has helped me gain a new sense of self care that I didn’t have before. I actually look forward to caring for my nails! I do manicures every Sunday and use oil after washing hands which helped a lot with hang nails. (I wish I could find an Anna for other aspects of my life, lol.) 🫧 💅

    Is it too much to remove the cuticle at every manicure ( once a week ) or is every other week better ? 💕

    • @TheSalonLife
      @TheSalonLife  Місяць тому

      It depends... if you are polishing your nails after I would remove the cuticle. If you are not polishing then I would not worry unless it bothers you.
      Every week the nail grows 1mm, so you will have 1 mm cuticle on the nail plate. If you care for your nails, use exfoliant like Kerasal and oil then there won't be much cuticle because it will slough off naturally.

I used to write A LOT in my student years, and still prefer actual paper and pen (old school) lol anything I've tried to get rid of it was in vain so I'm just rubbing it off with the most abrasive file once a week cuz mine grows and hurts =( would you have any advice?

    • @TheSalonLife
      @TheSalonLife  Місяць тому +1

      I don't really have a callus. It's the bone that is thicker in that area. The skin is pretty normal.
      Filing it especially with abrasive surfaces only hurts the skin and creates more callus. I suggest using Kerasal at night:
