    I used this file Diamond Hand file (medium) bit.ly/3804Wi5
    But you can use any file really that is quite (skinny) thin for example CND Kanga File 240/240 (1.00 each) bit.ly/3cSOSoj

    I have never in my life really been interested in doing my nails, maybe because I have those what I called “shovel shaped” nails (fan shaped sounds better though) and didn’t think it was possible for me to have the pretty oval shape. Boy am I glad YT decided to randomly recommend your video to me ❤

      I have the same "shovel shaped" nails and in the last 5 years they've become prone to splitting or peeling. I've watched other videos in this channel and learned buffing and hardeners or strengthening products are the exactly wrong things to do. Now I have hope I can eventually have a pretty oval shape, too. 🥰

      Meanwhile, I never even thought that there was anything wrong with how my nails looked until videos like this told me that there was. I always loved painting them. Personally, I won't bother. Too much filing, which I hate, and it looks like you need to keep some length on your nails for this to work which doesn't work with my lifestyle. Tried it, and they just trap dirt and snag on things. Glad this is helping other people out but it just sucks how insecure women have to be about every little thing that doesn't fit some beauty standard.

    THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU
    I watched this about 3/4 months ago and bought a little nail kit to do this. It's somehow cemented into my night routine to fix up my nails after i wash my face. Also miraculously the fact that my nails don't snag or chip anymore has completely removed my bad habit of biting them.
    The tips of my fingers used to flare out, I always hated my hands because of this.
    Turns out it was my nails all along! I only have one finger that still has a bit of that flare, but that is also the finger nail i have now noticed grows much slower then the rest.
    For the first time in my life i like looking at my hands. I didn't realize the flare also made them look shorter, they look just a bit slimmer now too!
    Again, thank you. Being able to shirk an insecurity like that so quickly and with such an easy fix is a gift. (i'm like actually tearing up) thank you

    I have worn false nails for nigh on 25yrs as my own nails are paper thin (my mum & a lot of her family are the same) I am at the point now that I cannot have my own natural nails as the feeling without them is alien to me & they are still so soft & papery that I cannot file them without them ripping & they won’t grow nicely. I’ve recently learned how to do BIAB & 3 weeks ago I gave up the false nails, I have fan nails too & now after watching your videos on how to shape them along with the builder gel coat on them I actually have nice natural looking nails that are strong & dare I say quite pretty 💅🏻 I’m also treating my cuticles better & pushing them back gently with remover & not trimming them & also using a little oil on them daily, all of this has helped with the overall shape of my nails & has helped them look less fanned out.

    I stopped biting and chewing my nails around March 2023 after 50 years, and it has taken until December for me to go longer than 2 weeks without a nail breaking. I keep them polished and always use base coats, I file them with a glass / crystal file once a week, I use cuticle oil and lotion constantly, and I still have peeling on two of my nails (but instead of all 10!). Next, now it's cold out, will be to try warm jojoba soaks and see how that might help.

    Everyone's nails are so different. My nails are hard and curl down on both sides, I had to shape tip of my nails flat so my nails would look like elongated squares rather than triangles if I had shaped the tips like yours. And it does make it easier for me, just cut the tips straight across, no filings needed. My nails seem to stay strong, as long as I don't apply nail polishes or go to nail salons that seem to easily damage and weaken the nails.

    These look a lot like my natural nails. I have fanned out nails and I also have eggshell nails that bend and fold and tear like paper. Finally, I have nails that grow unevenly so that they grow faster on one side of the nail than the other and they try to form a sideways oval. I also have very thick sidewalls/calluses, especially where I used to have a periungual wart. I want pretty manicures so much but my skin around the nail is so thick and overgrown compared to healthier nail borders that I can seem to keep up. When I get acrylics, the acrylics even grow out unevenly on a few nails. To me, I use that as a sanity check that my nails really do grown unevenly to a noticeable degree.

      if you are using any products with nail hardeners in it, stop using them (sometimes they are included in base coats). They often make the nails too brittle. Using Jojoba oil on your nails a regular basis is a better option, as it makes the nails grow stronger while maintaining their natural flexibility. If you have naturally thick nails, they have less flexibility because of the thickness, but if you are not using any hardeners they should still have enough natural flexibility to not break. @@DebbieK1107

      She has said in the past that it’s OK to file back and forth. Can’t remember if it depends on the type of file you use though.

    Actually I was doing this some times unknowingly but I didn’t do it in routine. But I also sometimes thought after doing this filing if I force them to be on sides by putting some bandages or bandaid to force them into that shape, but never tried😅

  • @SteamyPMcGee
    @SteamyPMcGee 10 місяців тому +3

    I am trying to do this for my boyfriend's fan shaped nails. The problem i am experiencing is he has short nail beds, separation of the nail bed that goes straight across so the white of the nail is long even without passing the tip of the finger. We want to keep his nails short with a clean appearance, so i have bought him a nail brush and asked him to not scrape under the white of the nails to clean because we are trying to encourage the nail bed to lengthen while shaping it into ovals. I dont want to cut that white off back to the nailbed because its so far. Advice welcome.

    • @zvezdoblyat
      @zvezdoblyat 8 місяців тому

      Tell him not to cut his nails at all. I think if he files them once a week to maintain a certain length then they will reattach on their own

    This is amazing!!! Thank you, Anna. I have been following your advice for a couple of years, and my peeling, bendy nails are finally looking healthy and feeling stronger. (Jojoba oil is a miracle oil worker!). My nails are all very different shapes, many of them triangular 😂 I assumed that the shape could not be changed, but this video proves otherwise. ❤
    Now that they are healthy and that I have established a manicure routine (all thanks to your advice and guidance), I am going to think about the shape. This video will help enormously.
    Out of interest, Anna, do you offer online appointments in which you could guide and teach people how to shape their own nails? I know you offer your advice service with sending in pictures but I just wondered if you offer live calls too?

    • @TheSalonLife
      @TheSalonLife  Рік тому +3

      Hi Lucy! I have tried live calls and it’s difficult because most people don’t have the set up for me to actually see what they are doing. Most people have hard time to take pictures that are bright enough and clear enough for me to see what’s going on with their nails.
      I think I’m going have to start in person classes :)) These are the best :))

  • @Just_Kirsty

    I 100% know this isn't fake. I didn't even know I had nails that are fanning out until I had to file down my entire free edge (my nails were a bit brittle after removing fake nails and broke off during work where my hands get wet all the time) and start over. I let them grow naturally without any manicure and was a bit shocked that they would start to fan out. I had to re-shape them later and could literally see how the skin around the nails changed its shape. I always thought I had the same nail shape as my mom, but it's really a combination of my mom's small nail bed and my dad's nails (which are fanning out too). How did I not know? Well, I always intuitively did my manicure similar to what you did on your client. And I had started at a very young age. Prior to this, my mom had done it for me. She never just cut my nails, she always filed and shaped them too as soon as it was possible.

      Yes, oil benefits the polish to a degree and certainly the skin around the nails

  • @6lancmange

    I know that you recommend using a buffing block for smoothing out after filing. But what should be the grit, and is the grit the same between different materials, or does it only apply to the "sandpaper" files, not glass, metal etc. (I never seem to see any reference to grit on files that aren't the emery board kind)? I was looking for some buffers and they were like 100-120 grit, just like a regular file! That seems too rough for buffing the nails! But also if it's the same as a file, it can't exactly give you a smoother finish. On the other end are the two-sided flat shiners, like 400/3000. Which is also not the best fit for this purpose. So I'm assuming something like 200 or 300 should be fine? But it's not a popular choice for the buffing blocks, I have trouble finding any that "high"!

    • @TheSalonLife
      @TheSalonLife  Рік тому +3

      Hello there :) Thank you for writing! Yes the grit is the same but buffers are more gentle because they have the "bend", they "give" and they don't put a lot of pressure on the nail plate.
      I recommend 220 or 300 grit but some buffers that are 180 are good too.
      These are the ones I use:
      Gold Buffing Block amzn.to/3p2EooJ
      Gold buffing block amzn.to/3LagbY0

    I am experiencing a lot of issues with my natural nails. Due to iron deficiency, calcium deficiency and hypothyroidism, they have become very deformed. Every nail has a different and asymmetrical shape. Some have partially detached from the nail bed, making the nail plate shorter. Some have bent on one side, which made the free edge a wavy line. If I don't grow them out, you can tell the nail bed is way too short. But when I do grow them out, the free edge is ugly and crooked. I am looking for a way to save them because I don't want to resort to fake nails which are both damagining and expensive.
    I have also had the issue of fanning out for many years and I have been filing the sides to mimic growth in a straight line. However, this has only helped until the nail grows out with its real width and again the new free edge fans out again. I would love any advice

    @quiestinliteris 7 місяців тому

    Odd question, perhaps, but how could you go about changing nail beds in the opposite direction? Mine are naturally very long, and even if I file the nail down to the quick, I still can't get my fingertip down flat and stable on a violin string. Broader nails often seem to end further back on the fingertip, and that would be really convenient at least for my left hand.
    Thank you!
