What I love most about this channel is that you show all kinds of hands. Most videos I have seen from other channels, are women with 'hand model' hands, super long and perfectly shaped nails - and looks that I could never achieve. On this channel, you actually showcase the beauty of the 'natural' hand and manicure. (and teach how to make the most of it) And show that you can have beautiful hands, even if you don't have tiny piano-fingers and almond shaped nails. ❤ (still envious on those that have that though😒)
Thank you and your client for this series it has been great to watch the progress. Slow and steady wins the race! I would love to see her nails next week 😊
I’ve used both CND Rescue Rxx and OPI Repair Mode, each for several weeks on my peeling nails. OPI Repair Mode has been much more effective for me. I had a few nails that were peeling and crumbling so the nail could never grow out. Now after OPI Repair mode, my nails have grown out again with only minor surface peeling at the tips. Im very happy with it. It’s an excellent product.
I have been using jojoba oil, Blue Cross cuticle remover, and the Pushy for about six months now, and I promise you, the difference in my weak and flaking nails is astonishing. Thank you so much!
The skin around the right-hand middle finger. SUCH a difference from two weeks ago, and all done 100% gently! Your methods are so great, and they give such good results.
Hello anna and everyone watching the video! I have been using the opi repair mode on my nails, 8 weeks after leaving shellac behind (as well as doing frequent warm oil soaks with sweet almond oil). Coincidentally, i started doing the treatment at around the same time as this client and i have been having the same exact results! It's quite wonderful and it has reduced the peeling on the free edge, besides making my nails look prettier and healthier in general. I did also start to notice my nails seemed less permeable and the product was taking longer to absorb so i will also try to space out the opi repair mode to about twice a week to prevent overdoing it, but so far so good! I want to thank you so much for the very helpful information in you videos, and for bringing this client back. It's really helping me understand how to navigate the use of this product and how to make the best out of it. Thank you as well to your client for the amazing help since we could not have this wonderful series of videos without her! Big hugs from Portugal!
Anna is so knowledgable on care of our nails-hands and feet. I started watching her videos in June of 2023- she saved my nails. I share her web site to many.
I've been looking forward to another update. I'm going to pick up some Repair Mode from my professional supply store today. I thought I'd share almond oil is a smaller particle on a molecular level than jojoba and actually absorbs into the skin and hair more efficiently. There's also a higher level of monosaturated fats, (which is what makes both oils moisturizing) so almond oil is usually the better choice unless you have nut allergies. Jojoba is technically a wax, which is why nails feel smoother immediately but this wax also blocks some of the moisturizing properties from absorbing into the skin and nails.
I used OPI RM for three weeks, morning and night, and it fixed my peeling nails entirely. I’m not sure why but it also lightens the tips of my nails which looks so nice with a sheer pink polish. Now I use DD and when I take it off, I use OPI RM again and give my nails a soak the next day on jojoba and then I repolish with DD. I use Kerasal with and orange stick every night on my cuticles and give myself a hand massage with Cereve balm or Skin Fix hand moisturizer. The entire cycle is just under two weeks. I finally have a routine that works, that doesn’t take too much time and is so much cheaper than going to the salon. I’m so grateful for everything I’ve learned from this channel, thank you so very much! I’m 51 and finally have nails and hands that I am proud of! ✨💕✨
I clicked on this video SO fast! I just started my own nail care journey following your tips, and videos like these give me so much hope. Please keep us updated on the progress! ❤
I clicked so fast! The progress with your client’s nails is amazing! Thank you to both you and her for showing the updates. I’d love to see another for sure. Your videos have really helped me improve my nail care effort. I’ve seen such a difference with my cuticles (and I stopped cutting them!). The hot oil soaks and oiling throughout the day have made a big difference instead of just doing it at bedtime like I used to. Also, I used the OPI repair mode and nail envy as instructed for a few weeks and saw a nice improvement in the state of my nails. I’ve now been able to go back to wearing my regular polish 6 days a week and doing an oil soak and manicure on the 7th day after I remove my polish (lacquer). Again thank you so much for all you do ❤
I have stopped using gell polish & I have ordered OPI Repair Mode to help with the damage to my nails re 'impatient removal', so I have been really enjoying this series Anna. Would love to see the difference in your clients nails in another month. So, more please 🙏 😊
Yes please…do future follow ups with this. I am also using the OPI Repair Mode with some similar nail issues as your client so I really would like to see more.
I'm on day 4 of the Repair Mode. Haven't noticed much yet but will keep on it for a few more days. Looking forward to seeing this clients update next week.
If you push the skin back after soaking it will go much further much more easily but when it dries it will be a big piece of unattached skin and that flap will dry out and be all rough and hang nails. You are doing it perfectly. They dont look picture perfect when you're done but it's much better long term. Nice
Hi Anna, i would like to see the progress of you’re clients nails next week. You’re clients nails and skin around her nails looks so different now in a positive way. Thank you both so much for making this video 💅
I literally have the exact same issues with my nails as this client. My hands are in water lately at work, and gloves only trap sweat/moisture. That’s when the trouble started, although the sticking skin has gone on for a while. I just purchased the OPI repair mode and jojoba for soaks. I used to have really nice nails and am looking forward to getting them back! Thank you so much for all your hard work with these videos. I am so addicted to this channel-you are elevating the industry with your knowledge 😊
Would love to see another video in a week! I started doing jojoba soaks 2 weeks ago and already I see a big difference - skin along sides and base of nail is softer and less raggedy, and my naturally hard nails are slightly more pliable in a good way and not breaking as they typically do in winter.
I just love watching these videos, they are so calming ... and I'm also grateful, b/c I've had terrible problems with my fingernails for years and have never seen so much good information for those of us who struggle! Thank you so much!
I have been watching this since you started with the opi repair mode. I bought it and have been using it and can say that yes, my nails are not absorbing as quickly the longer I use it. I have a visible line of dry damage and healthy opi repair growth. Kerasol is working wonders as well. Thank you for your content. I can’t wait to have healthy natural nails.
Thank you Anna, yes, would love to see your client next week. Her nails are beautiful. I too, use Repair Mode. Learned from watching your videos. Thank you for teaching us how to have beautiful nails. Told my granddaughters to watch your videos.
I have been using the CND for over a month but have noticed less peeling, but the vertical ridges in the nail are not changing. Any suggestions. BTW thanks for explaining the difference.
Love the piano and your voice! The best! Nothing relaxes me more and not to memtion the educational part. There s no tehnician with your knowledge❤ I am finally accepting my nails as they are and keeping them healthy.
Since I began watching your channel, my nails have improved 100%. All because of your advice…wish I could come to Spain. South Carolina is a long way but I would be in your salon every week. My question is concerning OPI Repair Mode. If you read and follow the directions and put on 2 coats a day, do you remove what’s already on there with acetone? The instructions don’t say to clean the nail. Also what brand jojoba oil? There are sooo many on the market…that I don’t know which end is up..thanks so much. You are blessed.
Definitely want to see her nails next week! I’ve been using the CND RX so I’m glad you brought that up as well but I’m going to try the Opi repair starting tomorrow and see if it helps more with the peeling.
I'm glad it worked for her. I was thinking about trying it but given that no beauty product brand has helped to a great degree, I shelled out for Derma Nail because it's from a para-pharmaceutical brand that only makes skin care. That will also take a while, I guess until the nail totally grows out. In the meantime, I'll stick to your very helpful regimen.
So would I be correct in thinking this product is not one we should use if we have very hard nails? I have very solid nails that tend to split or snap when the nails has to flex too much, so would I be correct in thinking this product is not the one I should use and instead I should just do oil soaks to soften/hydrate the nails more? What if you have hard nails but you have some layers peeling from improper removal of gel; then would this product be helpful? I guess I'm trying to figure out in what cases we should use this product, vs should not use this product. Some review say it made their nails worse and I'm thinking it's because this product is not what they really needed.
I was leery of it for the same reason. It wasn't until I discovered this channel that I finally realized that I was doing so many harmful things to my hard, brittle nails.
Clients nails look great! I noticed she has some vertical ridges as I do. On my nails, if I so much as buff my nails, they will break off as they grow out. Perhaps with the repair product she uses, her nails are stronger and hopefully not break off. So enjoyed this video. I'd be interested to see after another how her nails look. Thank you!
For the OPI repair mode, why do you ignore the directions? It states to use twice a day for 6 days. I would think those are the directions for a reason, hence overuse is counterproductive. Would like to know your thoughts on using it outside of what the directions state. Is it just being purely experimental? Because of these directions, I am careful of overuse. I wait 4 to 6 weeks before I use it again (attempting to try not to overuse) I do another 6 days twice a day.. Doing this it always absorbs. I respect your thoughts on this subject as you do have a way more wide variety of nail care experience.
Hi Regina! I so love your comment! I love how you challenge my direction but you are doing it respectfully and you are giving me your side of the story. It is so rare these days! Thank you! So this is how I look at it: OPI says that this product does not over-harden the nails. They also say 6 days and then once a week (from what I read double application) as maintenance. This way you are overlapping the nail anyway. I don't want to say that my client didn't use it twice a day but often people forget. 6 days didn't give us results we were hoping for. Her nails didn't feel brittle. I felt that she could do another 6 days. I'm not saying that this is the way it should be used but I wanted to see what happens when it's used for 2 weeks. We will see how they look next time. She will be coming after 10 days this time.
Hi Regina! I think they (OPI) changed instructions. Now they say after using it twice a day for 6 days to use it once daily www.opi.com/en-GB/products/treatments-strengtheners-repair-mode-bond-building-nail-serum Apply 2 times a day on bare nails for 6 days for maximum efficacy. After 6 days, use Repair Mode™ once daily to combat Keratin breakdown caused by daily activities (such as hand washing). What do you think....? PS. Here it says to use it daily too (step 9): www.opi.com/professionals/how-to-apply-repair-mode-tm
Hi Anna my nails over the last year started splitting from my proximal nail foiled to my free edge but also started crumble down so low the skin underneath we're the nail was. It is extremely sore and pealing I was useing cuticle oil every day and also hand cream .As you advised. I started to use O.P.I nail repair mode,kersal and Jojoba warm oil soak. The splits in my nails have sealed just leaving a faint line but my nails are so low ,I dry manicure once a week but have to buff the edge threw out the week as where it crumbles it leaves sharp edges My nails so low can't now file where my nails should be. The skin is red very sore and starting to get small blisters on my thumb where my nail should be, and the skin around my proximal nail fold has also started to get sore I never push this skin back or use an efile and I don't buff my nail surface.It looks like I bite my nail and pick the skin (but I don't) I can't use polish my nails are way to short is there any thing else I can do help to Ease the skin and help my Nails grow out a bit without crumbling againg Thankyou for all your help and Advice 🎉
Thank you! Question... I remember you saying not every nail type can be fixed this way. Question is how would one know if they are in that group?? My nails are soft and split very easily, all my life. I've been trying your tips for 3 weeks now, and they are softer and splitting even more. I'm wondering if maybe mine need something else besides more oil and moisture.
Sometimes especially if there is a damage it takes way longer than 3 weeks for the damage to grow out... Maybe your nails need something else or maybe they need more time. If you think you would benefit from personal assessment please check out the service I provide: www.thesalonlife.ca/services
Hi Ana! I would love to see your review Spirularin from Germany. I have vertical splits in 2 of my nails for 10+ years. I desperately got Spirularin and I think it’s doing wonders! I e been using it 2x day for 4 weeks now. It has also really improved my cuticles. I’ve been taking some pics but it is working great for me!
Beautiful! Where are you located? I wish you were my nail technician! I recent csught a fungus on two of my nails on my right hand after getting tips and gel polish.
Thank you Dorothy!! I'm located near Barcelona, Spain. Fungus is pretty rare on the fingernails. Usually people mistake onycholysis for fungus: [Onycholysis] ua-cam.com/video/jjTd9wNks_U/v-deo.html or bacterial infection: ua-cam.com/video/k_Yqe5DE96I/v-deo.html
That is comparing apples to oranges.... OPI Repair Mode is a home treatment. And IBX is a UV cured, acrylate based salon treatment. So difficult to compare.
Efile is great if you are properly trained to use it. I really don’t recommend and it’s not needed if you are caring and doing your nails at home. Here is a good starting point Hello Paula! Please start with the proper nail care first. I explain everything in this video How to start taking care of your nails [Complete Newbie Edition PART 1] ua-cam.com/video/4PXrASmK7eY/v-deo.html How to start taking care of your nails [Complete Newbie Edition PART 2] ua-cam.com/video/r6PUvp1zcAQ/v-deo.html
I removed my uv lamp manicure 2 weeks ago and even the lady who did that said my nails look damaged and I think it's because the previous one that did the manicure buffed too much. But guess what came to the rescue - good old Mavala Scientifique K+ (I have the pen/marker version) and after a week the difference is insane. Did one jojoba oil soak as I ran out of it right after using (already ordered a big bottle). Mavala is a life saver! I need to see if I have OPIS product available in my country, looks very promising too!
Its great to see your clients progress, however this product absolutely ruined my nails. I've had some peeling at the very ends so I thought I'd give it a go, and... 3 days in my nails turned into mush. The peeling is now halfway through the nail bed, I have ridges, pitting (literal craters in my nails), they are so brittle that they crumble to dust against anything I touch. Running nail on nail I can scrape off what looks like sawdust. Dont think I will be doing full 6 days 😂
Then you can use it once a week, I think the directions mention that. Actually wait! I think they changed the instructions!! www.opi.com/en-GB/products/treatments-strengtheners-repair-mode-bond-building-nail-serum Apply 2 times a day on bare nails for 6 days for maximum efficacy. After 6 days, use Repair Mode™ once daily to combat Keratin breakdown caused by daily activities (such as hand washing). Use alongside Nail Envy® for the ultimate power pairing. With zero dry time, apply Repair Mode™ on the go or even before bed.
A good oil can have an icredible effect on the nails. 1) It plasticises the nails. Jojoba has an ability to over time absorb into the nail plate and let the cells slide agaist each other preventing breaks by adding flexibility. 2) Most of quality oils are full of antioxidants protecting the nails from oxidative damage.
I’ve been using this OPI product for a few months - bottle is almost gone. I’ll use it when my nails get super thin from gel etc. it works- it really does HOWEVER It makes my nails slick. Like nothing will stick to them after using it - not using it before I polish, but using it days prior. The finish your nail grows back in is slick- idk how else to describe it. Gel, polish, nail glue, nail glue tabs- nothing sticks to my nails anymore. It’s so weird
I use acetone before I apply polish and it helps with this slickness. I have a similar issue and I’ve noticed that the Dazzle Dry system works much better for longevity.
This client used OPI Repair Mode for 14 days twice a day. You can see the results.

I'm on day 4 of the Repair Mode. Haven't noticed much yet but will keep on it for a few more days. Looking forward to seeing this clients update next week.
It took my three weeks of consistent use (two layers, morning and night) to see real results. Hang in there! It’s so worth it

Clients nails look great! I noticed she has some vertical ridges as I do. On my nails, if I so much as buff my nails, they will break off as they grow out. Perhaps with the repair product she uses, her nails are stronger and hopefully not break off. So enjoyed this video. I'd be interested to see after another how her nails look. Thank you!
For the OPI repair mode, why do you ignore the directions? It states to use twice a day for 6 days. I would think those are the directions for a reason, hence overuse is counterproductive. Would like to know your thoughts on using it outside of what the directions state. Is it just being purely experimental? Because of these directions, I am careful of overuse. I wait 4 to 6 weeks before I use it again (attempting to try not to overuse) I do another 6 days twice a day.. Doing this it always absorbs. I respect your thoughts on this subject as you do have a way more wide variety of nail care experience.
Hi Regina! I so love your comment! I love how you challenge my direction but you are doing it respectfully and you are giving me your side of the story. It is so rare these days! Thank you!
So this is how I look at it:
OPI says that this product does not over-harden the nails. They also say 6 days and then once a week (from what I read double application) as maintenance.
This way you are overlapping the nail anyway.
I don't want to say that my client didn't use it twice a day but often people forget.
6 days didn't give us results we were hoping for. Her nails didn't feel brittle. I felt that she could do another 6 days.
I'm not saying that this is the way it should be used but I wanted to see what happens when it's used for 2 weeks.
We will see how they look next time. She will be coming after 10 days this time.
Thank you for your thoughts. I knew you had thought it out logically. I will stay tuned for the results. I definitely respect you 😊
In the link above, from the OPI site, under the heading “how to use,” it says to use daily after the initial six days.
Hi Regina!
I think they (OPI) changed instructions. Now they say after using it twice a day for 6 days to use it once daily
www.opi.com/en-GB/products/treatments-strengtheners-repair-mode-bond-building-nail-serum
Apply 2 times a day on bare nails for 6 days for maximum efficacy. After 6 days, use Repair Mode™ once daily to combat Keratin breakdown caused by daily activities (such as hand washing).
What do you think....?
PS. Here it says to use it daily too (step 9):

Hi Anna my nails over the last year started splitting from my proximal nail foiled to my free edge but also started crumble down so low the skin underneath we're the nail was. It is extremely sore and pealing I was useing cuticle oil every day and also hand cream .As you advised. I started to use O.P.I nail repair mode,kersal and Jojoba warm oil soak. The splits in my nails have sealed just leaving a faint line but my nails are so low ,I dry manicure once a week but have to buff the edge threw out the week as where it crumbles it leaves sharp edges My nails so low can't now file where my nails should be. The skin is red very sore and starting to get small blisters on my thumb where my nail should be, and the skin around my proximal nail fold has also started to get sore I never push this skin back or use an efile and I don't buff my nail surface.It looks like I bite my nail and pick the skin (but I don't) I can't use polish my nails are way to short is there any thing else I can do help to Ease the skin and help my Nails grow out a bit without crumbling againg Thankyou for all your help and Advice 🎉
Yes, would love to see an update🙏❤
Yes, please follow up.
I have both products, and the CND product is oilier and seems moisturizing.
Would love to see a follow-up on the nails - thank you!
Hello Anna, I’m always interested in follow up video!
Thank you! Question... I remember you saying not every nail type can be fixed this way. Question is how would one know if they are in that group?? My nails are soft and split very easily, all my life. I've been trying your tips for 3 weeks now, and they are softer and splitting even more. I'm wondering if maybe mine need something else besides more oil and moisture.
Sometimes especially if there is a damage it takes way longer than 3 weeks for the damage to grow out...
Maybe your nails need something else or maybe they need more time.

Keep up the good work !
Interested 👍🏼
Yes, follow up please 😊
Thoughts on Dermelect Camo Nude?
Hi Ana! I would love to see your review Spirularin from Germany. I have vertical splits in 2 of my nails for 10+ years. I desperately got Spirularin and I think it’s doing wonders! I e been using it 2x day for 4 weeks now. It has also really improved my cuticles. I’ve been taking some pics but it is working great for me!
It might be an interesting product. Can you email me the pictures please? thesalonlife@gmail.com
I just had a thought: is pushing the skin back necessary/beneficial in any way, IF you don’t have stuck skin and do not wear polish?
No :) This is just to prevent the skin from sticking and stretching.
Yes, please
I’m interested to seeing the clients nails next week!
Would love to see progress 😊
Beautiful! Where are you located? I wish you were my nail technician! I recent csught a fungus on two of my nails on my right hand after getting tips and gel polish.
Thank you Dorothy!!
I'm located near Barcelona, Spain.
Fungus is pretty rare on the fingernails.
Usually people mistake onycholysis for fungus:

or bacterial infection: ua-cam.com/video/k_Yqe5DE96I/v-deo.html
Hi Anna, can you please explain when to use the Repair Mode if I am also using jojoba oil? Thanks.
can you do a video about the difference between opi repair mode and the ibx treatment?
That is comparing apples to oranges.... OPI Repair Mode is a home treatment. And IBX is a UV cured, acrylate based salon treatment.
So difficult to compare.
First time hearing about it, what does it do exactly?
Would definitely love to see another manicure as her nails are so much like mine
thank you so much for your vote!!🤗
Piękne postępy ❤❤❤
I’m going to try the OPI repair. Do you have an at home e file you like or recommend?
Efile is great if you are properly trained to use it. I really don’t recommend and it’s not needed if you are caring and doing your nails at home.
Here is a good starting point
Hello Paula!

Yes I would love to see a dazzle dry manicure
I removed my uv lamp manicure 2 weeks ago and even the lady who did that said my nails look damaged and I think it's because the previous one that did the manicure buffed too much. But guess what came to the rescue - good old Mavala Scientifique K+ (I have the pen/marker version) and after a week the difference is insane. Did one jojoba oil soak as I ran out of it right after using (already ordered a big bottle). Mavala is a life saver! I need to see if I have OPIS product available in my country, looks very promising too!
How often do u use the hardener for ? When u start in the beginning n also after they Start growing ?
Its great to see your clients progress, however this product absolutely ruined my nails. I've had some peeling at the very ends so I thought I'd give it a go, and... 3 days in my nails turned into mush. The peeling is now halfway through the nail bed, I have ridges, pitting (literal craters in my nails), they are so brittle that they crumble to dust against anything I touch. Running nail on nail I can scrape off what looks like sawdust. Dont think I will be doing full 6 days 😂
I would like to see how this clients nails change in the coming weeks.
I have this product. Oddly, the only direction is to use twice a day for six days. Then what? 90% of the bottle is left.
Then you can use it once a week, I think the directions mention that.
Actually wait! I think they changed the instructions!!
www.opi.com/en-GB/products/treatments-strengtheners-repair-mode-bond-building-nail-serum
Apply 2 times a day on bare nails for 6 days for maximum efficacy. After 6 days, use Repair Mode™ once daily to combat Keratin breakdown caused by daily activities (such as hand washing). Use alongside Nail Envy® for the ultimate power pairing. With zero dry time, apply Repair Mode™ on the go or even before bed.
Isn’t two weeks not to long because they say to use it for 6 days? ☺️ The nails look great btw!
Then you use it once a week as a maintenance. I think the bottle says that. I have to check
👍🏾
🥰🥰🥰
Was going to buy Opi RM after watching your videos but then I checked peoples review and it is apparently terrible for the nails.
Can you share the link? What is the common thing people complain about?
I never understood why oil does anything other than give a nice appearance. Since oil does not moisturize. 🤷♀️
A good oil can have an icredible effect on the nails.
1) It plasticises the nails. Jojoba has an ability to over time absorb into the nail plate and let the cells slide agaist each other preventing breaks by adding flexibility.
2) Most of quality oils are full of antioxidants protecting the nails from oxidative damage.
🙂🌹
Do you have any clients with LONG natural nails? Can you show us how they manage it?
Hello, no, I don’t :). What you see is what you get :))
Great comparison! Your video editing always showing before and after is awesome!!! TY Anna 🫶🏼
I’ve been using this OPI product for a few months - bottle is almost gone. I’ll use it when my nails get super thin from gel etc.
it works- it really does HOWEVER
It makes my nails slick. Like nothing will stick to them after using it - not using it before I polish, but using it days prior. The finish your nail grows back in is slick- idk how else to describe it.
Gel, polish, nail glue, nail glue tabs- nothing sticks to my nails anymore. It’s so weird
Thank you for your comment. How often are you using it?
The new growth is slick or the treated part is slick?
I use acetone before I apply polish and it helps with this slickness. I have a similar issue and I’ve noticed that the Dazzle Dry system works much better for longevity.
