Hi I'm Tati from GlamLifeGuru, I'm glad you found my video, please be sure to check out my collection of videos on my UA-cam beauty channel GlamLifeGuru where you'll find my best beauty tips, tricks and favorites on everything from top luxury cosmetics to my favorite drugstore makeup. Whether you're looking for a new product review, tutorial, beauty tip, haul or perhaps even a giveaway, I hope you enjoy watching.
Perfect timing Tati, I just polished my nails this evening! Great tips for protecting a manicure, I really enjoyed this vid and that CVS polish remover is the best I've ever used. This subject is really special to me because I can polish my own nails again after 11 years. In 2003 a doctor pierced my spinal cord during a cervical epidural, paralyzing my right hand/arm. Late 2014 there was movement in my right thumb, just enough strength to use my right hand again. The rest of my fingers are still paralyzed but my thumb is a good start. I'd forgotten that polishing may nails was so much fun! I also wanted to share this to let everyone know things can get better when bad stuff happens. I'd lost hope but this is something that has motivated me again. Also I've bought a bunch of nail polish in beautiful shades & textures!
That is amazing! Congratulations, is that the right thing to say? What a wonderful story, I hope you continue to make progress. Xxx
Lucy Alpin Aww thank you Lucy Alpin! Happy New Year to you.
Happy New Year to you too!
All the best to u 4 continued recovery!
vivakris Thank you so much!
First time poster, long time fan. Great tip about using lotion when wearing gloves...which led me to thinking - it might not be brutally frigid over on the West Coast, but it is over here in the North East/Mid-Atlantic. I wear gloves when I drive into work - great time to slather on the lotion before heading out...upon arrival, hands are soft and moisturized for the day ahead. My favorite nighttime hand treatment: True Blue Spa Super Softening Hand Lotion w/ Paraffin & Lush Lemony Flutter Hand Care and favorite day hand cream: True Blue Spa Fragrance Free Super Rich Hand Cream and Curel Ultra Healing Lotion. My absolute favorite nail strengthener is Salon Science Instant Artificials - I use one coat under every base coat. I have so many more favorites, too many to list here. Thanks so much for sharing these great tips Tati - you're the best.
I am a nail polish addict and have a few additional tips.
Avoid doing your nails within three hours of taking a shower. Your nails may feel dry to the touch but it takes much longer to be fully cured. I like to do my nails in the early evening when I know I won't be showering and also that I will have at least an hour and a half from the time the final top coat goes on and when I will go to bed. Otherwise you may wake up to find sheet imprinted nails.
Time time time- give the base coat, two thin layers of nail colour and then generous topcoat time to dry in between each application.
To prevent your tips being visible very quickly take your nail polish colour and top coat on the end of your tips and even a bit under if you can. Don't worry about smudging you can clean it up with a q-tip dipped in polish remover.
Always start your manicure with washed hands and nail beds. Wash your hands after using polish remover and filing as this makes a fine dust that can linger on the nail bed. You want an oil, dust and polish remover free nail to paint on.
Don't use your nails to scrap at labels etc and wearing gloves for chores is a big one too like Tati mentioned.
My favorite nail polish base right now is
Diamond Strength Hardener by Sally Hanson
best top coat is
Complete Salon Manicure Ultra-Wear by Sally Hanson. For best results apply this to your nail colour after you have given it a 1/2 hr to set to the touch. Apply a generous coat and it does take a while to dry but is Sooooooo worth it. I like to let it dry for at least 1 hour.
I have tried them all
Nail Envy by OPI
Essie: No Chips ahead top coat and First base (base coat) *I really did not like these at all
Seche Vite dry fast top coat - has a great sheen and dries very fast (way faster than my current favorite Sally Hanson top coat) but it is not as durable and does not protect my manicure the way the Sally Hanson Complete salon manicure ultra-wear does
OPI -Chip Skip * this claims to help create a better cleaner base to start your manicure (it's not a base coat but an extra step before the base coat) I did not find that it helped at all. Simply starting with a clean nail is just fine.
Tati: I did nothing with my hair.
Me: "She woke up like thisss, FLAWLESS"
I love your hair straight. That's partially because I am a naturally curly girl and am very jealous that you don't have to jump through hoops to get it to look like that! But I also am just a fan of sleek, straight hair. :)
me too!! I have natural curly hair and have always wanted super straight hair!
Rejuvacote nail polish base was my life changer. I used to have brittle nails that always chipped and flaked. Now that I use Rejuvacote I have to file down my nails because they get too long!! I am so happy I finally have nails. Also use cuticle oils and creams!
Is this by the brand Jessica?
Or this by the brand Duri?
Can this be found at the drugstore?
***** which nail supplies in Canada? i shop at BC nail supply but havent seen it there..just seche vite ,etc.. would love to find it in a store instead of having to order online and wait. thanks!
shannon woollard You can get Rejuvacote on NailPolishCanada.com for $12.95 and I love that website!
Hey Tati!! Sally beauty has a pink vitamin e infused acetone that's super cheap that doesn't damage or dry out your fingers and cuticles and leave that white cast dryness on your fingers and nail beds. Smell is decent too and works amazingly. Try it out !! I've used nothing else since!
Josie Maran Bare Naked Wipes! They have revolutionized my hands! They take off even the most stubborn polish, (it gets kind of messy), but when you're done (and have cleaned off the oily polish excess left behind) you just rub the oils into your hands. It makes my hands and cuticles so soft! I will never use anything else again!
Ok my best tip & this is the ONLY thing you need for hard strong beautiful nails....Nailtiques formula 2!!! It can be found at any drugstore! It is the best most amazing nail product I have ever used!!! I have tried everything! This comes in 3 formulas but I use #2 for dry brittle peeling nails. Try it and you will be shocked!! I now have to cut my nails down because they don't break! 😊 Also anyone who gets upset stomach from vitamin like I do. Buy them in gummies. So much easier on stomach.
I will be trying this out!! My nails are very dry and break so easy!! Its so hard to grow them out!! Thank you for this!! :))
Your welcome! Please let me know how you like it after a few weeks of use.
Nailtiques formula 2 is thee best!
ok :)
How much is it? Can it be found with where the rest of the multivitamins are?
I love the straight hair! Maybe even more then the big volume hair... You always look beautiful Tati, thanks for the tips. My nails are habitual chippers
Your gorgeous no matter what your hair looks like!! Love this video, you are simply amazing!!!
I must share this!!!! My nails where sooooo week until i started to drink sooooo much water and one another thing... when i fille my nails, first I fille them into the shape I want and then i fille them with softest nail fille that i own to smooth out edges!!!! Believe me!!! Those things really work!!! My nails are now so strong than i litteraly can't brake them!!!
Really sorry for my English :/ I have croatian auto correct also :D
Josie Maran has the Bear Naked nail wipes that are organic. They do take quite a bit of patience and scrubbing but they have a really great scent and condition your nails at the same time. Also I believe some of the proceeds go to protecting endangered polar bears which is a plus!
Thanks for the tips Tati!
Love the OPI Nail Envy. It's made a big difference.
Definitely NailTiques #2!! It is the most amazing product! Also, use cuticle oil regularly. I use it about 3x day. One more thing, I often chip my nails when I do a lot of cooking. I bought a box of non latex medical gloves and wear those when I cook. They fit more tightly so I don't lose dexterity.
can you pleeaasseeeee do a hair care routine? Your hair is so shiny and beautiful:)
Adding my tips to yours : I sometimes skip nailpolish for a week or so to let my nails "recover" from nailpolish, and I also find that buffing my nails helps blood circulation in them and makes them stronger and shinier.
Since I started using OPI nail envy this past fall my nails are looking great. I highly recommend it and it is listed in my 2014 favs which is on my channel now.
you can use cuticle oil and this will help your nails after you have removed the nail polish. the oil can go all over your nail. it has really helped mine xx
I noticed your straight hair as soon as i saw your thumbnail. I was like "Whaaaa? Tati has straight hair? I must watch" i like it :)
I feel like video was super helpful I'm horrible with nails and hair not to mention!
Happy Tuesday!
xoxo
I love your hair straight!
You always look gorgeous regardless of how you style your hair.. Love your videos, app and everything from you.. You are always funny and real.. Love you Tati
Hi Tati, I met Leighton Denny a couple of years ago and he said that using a hardening base coat for two long actually increases the chance of your nail breaking. Using hardener regularly causes the nail to become so hard that they will actually be more brittle because they will have no flexibility so will break when knocked :) Just a little tip :)
I have to say that I love your straight hair. I also really enjoyed the tips. I'm going to try and not to use acetone for everything from now on.
Tip from a cosmetologist :) use oils on your cuticles at night! They penetrate better over night than during the day. Olive, coconut, avocado are all good. Another tip which I'm guilty of not doing bc it's a pain in the ass but it was repeated over and over in my school textbook....always file in one direction instead of seesaw motions-that causes your nail to weaken. Great video love it!
I LOVE YOUR HAIR wow. i love how dark it looks now:) it makes your eyes just pop
6 years later I'm gonna follow these precious tips 💕😃 Thank you so much for sharing!
Vitamins help extremely! I take 'Hair, Skin, & Nails' by Spring Valley everyday, and my hair and nails grow so much faster and they feel better too.
Love the straight hair!! You are gorgeous either way!
I was looking up ways on how to prolong your manicure and prevent chipping (other than the obvious things such as base coat, buffing, filing, etc) and an interesting tip that I found was to apply a clear top coat everyday on top of the polish. It would make a great video if you experimented with this tip! I am hesitant to try it because I like my nails to always look perfect and it seems like applying a top coat everyday would make it more prone to peeling, but who knows! lol
Thanks, Tati!
Buffing made my weak nails worse.
Hiya. My ULTA consultant said my nails were dry, so I use the Formula 3 from that line ,and I use a growth treatment that specializes in sealing in moisture. The formula 3 doesn't need to be changed out. Great tips. Love ♡ive
There is a nail polish remover I bought at Whole Foods, called Mineral Fusion, it has no acetone and it is the cheapest naturalish remover that I've found, I think it was 7.99(?) For a 6 fluid oz, but it works really good and it's not over 20 bucks like the brands at my local health food store! Oh btw, I keep forgetting to tell you (Tati) that they carry that Tom's fluoride free toothpaste (I use the same exact one) at my Trader Joe's, and it is more than one dollar cheaper, than other stores, if you shop there see if they have it.
Julep Oxygen Nail Treatment is fabulous. Strengthens your nails and is oxygen permeable, meaning your nails can "breathe" through it, unlike other polishes and treatments.
Thanks for the tips!! I just read that gelatin capsules help with hair and nail growth too!
You're hair looks more modern, I like it. I never have issues with my manicures, and I've been doing my own nails for six or seven year now. I always use a strengthening base coat, OPI, Essie, or Rimmel nail polish, and two top coats, one non chip, the other quick drying. I am one of the few people I know whose manicures last so long (weeks!) that I have to take off my polish and clip my nails because they've grown in so much.
Bless you and your magnificent nail beds.
Straight acetone is fine!! Yes, it dries your cuticles, but that's why after every manicure and whenever you can remember it's best to follow up with cuticle oil or cream.
I LOVE you with your dark hair. I think you look so glam with them. And I think straight is awesome.
you look beautiful with straight and curly hair! also thank you for the amazing tips!
I LOVE LOVE LOVE your straight hair. When video first started I thought you looked stunning but didn't know why until you said that about your hair!!! You're beautiful!
AGHHHH, doing my nails has been so obnoxious lately, they chip so easily and if I have one chipped nail I feel like I have to redo all of them... one of the many downsides to being a perfectionist, haha! Hopefully these will help :) Thanks Tati!
I swear by the Seche Natural nail strengthener. I bit my nails for over 15 years as an anxiety symptom, and my nails ripped, peeled, and took forever to grow, UNTIL I bought a bottle on clearance 2 years ago and vowed to use it religiously...Never will I stop buying it, total holy grail product for me.
Love the straight hair! And your eye look is especially pretty today. I love the ease of acetone, too, but criminy....the hang nails! Too many hang nails....making me crazy!
I've used straight acetone for years and I do my nails once a week so I can testify that cuticle oil and cream is a must for the best outcome even when using straight acetone. Any non acetone stuff I just can't use anymore, they suck too bad.
I loveeeed your hair straight! Honestly, it made you look so gorgeous and it totally suits you
Lovely manicure tips!!!!! Your makeup is seriously on point! Your skin looks so dewy! So pretty!
I'm (almost) a year late here - but my tip is to switch to an almond/oval shape from a square shape. My nails don't tear at the sides any more since I've gone with a pointier shape, so I'm able to grow them much longer :) The polish also doesn't chip on the edges, so my at-home mani will actually last a full week without chipping, which has NEVER happened before.
You should try the josie maran bare naked nail wipes. They are non-acetone and they even have argan oil in them!
Last summer I wrecked my nails completely, I was working at a beauty counter mainly selling opi and china glaze nail polishes (and essence makeup), and we were allowed to use the testers to paint our nails, and I ended up painting my nails and using nail polish remover every 2 or 3 days, also the opi nail polishes where on a tower where people could be constantly throwing them to the floor and we used acetone to clean the mess, long story short my nails havent been the same since those days, I will try with the vitamins because nothing else have worked for me
super random tip: but i love to pop open fish oil tablets and rub the oil into my nails for a few minutes after i get out of the shower. my nails always get brittle, and doing this has saved them! also, a bit of vaseline on the knuckles when you sleep every night works wonders!! all the best Tati xo
Love the straight hair. Looks great and it's a nice change.
The best thing I've ever found to strengthen up my nails has been the Dior abricot nail fortifying creme. Its a lifesaver for nails!
Having worn nail polish almost non-stop for the past 10 years my nails were starting to really suffer the consequences and look shabby, not good! I now put the Dior nail cream on after taking polish off and try to leave at least 1 day before I reapply polish, just massaging in the cream a few times throughout that time.
My nails haven't looked this good in years thanks to this stuff, I can't recommend it highly enough - my mum now uses it and I'm always telling friends to go and invest because it is 100% worth it :)
This is just what I needed, my nails are always splitting and cracking! I've found the Aveda Hand Relief Serum (discovered through Fleur) is also amazing for softening the skin on my hands (you could use it with the rubber gloves trick!) xx
Zoya nail polish remover is an amazing natural non-acetone polish remover and it's just as speedy and IT'S AMAZING
Oh I also started using a metal nail file, it doesn't tear up my nails as badly as the typical emery board does. It's really helped, you just have to make sure to get the right grit just like with a regular file.
Thanks for the tips. My nails definitely need the help. Wearing your hair straight looks good on you.
I think your hair looks great. Also, your makeup is BEAUTIFUL today! I never thought to put lotion on before cleaning with gloves; BRILLIANT! I started using Gelous as part of my manicures. It makes regular polish last like gel polish, but comes off easily with non-acetone. Bonus, you can get it at Sally's for $5!
I love the straight hair. Looks beautiful. And thanks for the nail tips. All make sense and I'm going to do them.
Love the straight hair!
All about those rubber gloves for housework! Never thought about making it a spa treatment so this was a great idea. Thanks Tati!
I've been using the Julep night time serum and hand cream before going to bed and it makes a world of a difference. I have seriously dry hands and since I've been using this I hardly have to lather my hands through out the day.
I have the weakest, most thin nails and always have. I've been taking Biotin for over a year now and it has worked wonders for me! It's a vitamin you can buy at the grocery store and it also helps your hair grow:)
Awesome tip, Tati! I love your hair straight!!!!
Great idea to slather on hand cream when you put on the cleaning gloves! Definitely going to start doing that! Thanks. Love the straight hair btw.
The Body Shop Sweet Almond Oil Nail Lacquer Remover. Love!!! Conditions your nail and cuticle while removing the polish.
Love the straight hair! It looks really great. :)
I absolutely love your hair!! It's very pretty and looks shiny and healthy!!
I love you lazy hair day! Looks good on you Tati
LOVE YOUR STRAIGHT HAIR!
Nail hardening polish is good as a base coat some times. Try alternating moisturising nail polish (yes they exist I have a polish with vitamin E). Think of a tree in the wind - nails need to be able to flex if they are to not break. I over used nail hardening polish (put it on whenever I did my nails) and it made my nails too hard, the horrible type of hard where they resemble dog claws, and they broke regularly.
Try this when you removed all the polish, use something like coconut oil and wear a tight waterproof glove, before things like a marigold/washing up gloves. It just keeps the oil closer to your nails and cuticles. It is very moisturising, without using all the other chemicals in nail creams. Concentrate the amount on your cuticles and nails rather than your hands, and do this AFTER the nail bump removal/smooth/shine or buff part and the cuticle push back and clipping (if you do that). This way the oil will sink into the bit that will remain and therefore is slightly rawer.
For the vitamin/supplement and health resolution, here is something that might help: Use a week long clear medication organiser and then you can see at a glance if you have taken the vitamins/supplements. Also, you can set an alarm on your phone. It is best if you take them at the same time each day so it becomes a habit. If you get a few of the week organisers and fill them up, and take them in a rotation. Yes, it takes a few minutes each week to refill, but you know in a week, two, or few that you will run out of them and need more.
ANOTHER NAIL TIP: If you are going to do a messy or dirty job (gardening, scrubbing a shower etc), make sure your nails are clean and nothing is underneath them, then get a bar of soap that your skin can tolerate. Drag all your nails over the bar of soap several times until the soap is wedged underneath well. Then go and do the job. When washing your hands afterwards (moisturising soap is good for this, some have nail health stuff added too!) the soap under your nails will dissolve and the messy stuff will be washed out as well.
great tip with the gloves and cream....Blessings
Your straight, simple hair is my favorite look on you :)
I saw a big improvement with my nails & cuticles when using CND Solar Oil Nail & Cuticle Conditioner on a regular basis!
Hair, brows, and makeup on point!!!!!!!!!
I've always sworn off fake nail anything b/c of the long term damage, then gel came & then I decided I wanted length so I crossed into acrylic, that was a mistake. Six months of acrylic nails later & my already dry & brittle nails were ruined. I went to the google for help and landed on Nail Tek. It 100% repaired my nails & now they are growing again, not breaking, & they are perfect. They have tons of formulas. Sold at Sally's & Ulta. Its great stuff.
Base coat always, cuticle oil is amazing & a glass nail file a must.
Vitri is the best nail strengthener out there! Theres only one pharmacy in canada where i can find, jean coutu, but im sure you can buy on the internet. After trying a bunch of bases, i can truly say that i see the best results with Vitri 👍
Best base coat : Sally Hanson Diamond Strength Hardener
Best Top Coat: Sally Hanson Complete Salon manicure Ultra -Wear
I have tried Essie, OPI, seche Vite, revlon, and the two mentioned above are superior.
The key with the top coat is apply a generous amount to dry to the touch nail colour. It dries slow compared to Seche Vite but no other product has protected my manicure better. I like to give it an hour to dry while I watch a show or you tube videos 😃
I like the straight hair!!:)
Happy new year! Hope all is going well for you and yours and thank you so much for sharing. Gives me a lil push to keep on my nails, I've been slacking ;) take care! Xoxo
love your straight hair!!
Whole Foods sells a polish remover that doesn't have any funky chemicals and it works well (I used it on my daughter when she was 5). Even though the Jose Maran remover wipes are expensive, they're worth it. Neither product dries out the nails, but they do a great job of removing even dark polish. Also, when you're at a restaurant and use the restroom, take a sugar packet with you. Mix the sugar with the soap and some water and it'll gently exfoliate your hands.
Your hair is so beautiful!
I had really brittle nails after a year of non stop gel nails, I got the Perfect Formula "nail essential duo" from Sephora and I could not believe how strong they feel, after struggling for over two months with growing my nails even a little I finally see an improvement due to this set... You should give it a try..
Great tips and your hair always looks fab. ♥ Elle
I'm obsessed with your lip color ! as I was watching this, I was l constantly looking at your lips! The color is gorgeous! great video as always (:
I actually think you look gorgeous with your hair straight! :) love your make up as well. Thanks for the tips!!
This came in good timing, I just finished a bottle of pure acetone and am going to need to get some new polish remover asap! My nails are pretty good aside from peeling. The tips always peel when they get past a certain length.
I need to get better about vitamins too, but I get so sick from them! Ugh, anyone else have that problem? I take them at night but sometimes it just doesn't help the stomach aches...
I have really hard nails, and this lack of flexibility made them break constantly!! What has helped me a lot is using glass files and put vaseline on my hands before go to spleep (it also helps with my eccema)
For me nail hardeners tend to cause peeling of the nails. They get my nails firm and they grow faster, but after few weeks of using the product, they start to peel. I tried so many hardening formulas, for years and years, and they all do the same. I have very thin and soft nails.
What helps me to keep my nails firm are sand effect nail polishes. And I have no trouble removing them, or any other glitters, with Bourjois 1 sec nail polish remover.
really good tips! well, I already don't use acetone and have been wearing base coats since last year. but the GLOVES thing! I like cleaning and typically, don't like wearing gloves because I sweat inside and yuck. but the lotion thing! great tip! i'll try that one!
I love you tati your so gorgeous and talented !
I use Scotch Naturals nail polish remover. It's completely natural, works really well, and doesn't smell at all.
Sally Hansen Diamond Strength Hardener is really good! I've been using it for years now and it helps keep my nails strong. It dries fast and I often put nothing but that on my nails and they look shiny and healthy. Try it!
I needed these tips, thank you!
Love your straight hair. I am big on curls, but it is nice that you can change it up.
I've used a great natural polish remover from Josie Maran. I found it at Sephora. They come in the form of nail wipes.
Nailtek formula #2! I prefer it to Nailtiques, and it's cheaper! Totally transformed my nails. I use it as a base coat every time I paint my nails!
Miss you boo boo. Praying your well and healthy 💜
