I keep repeating the phrase: your nails are jewels not tools like a mantra!😍 it is the basic!
Hahaha! It’s catchy! You’ll definitely find yourself repeating it. It comes in handy! 😂
I’m currently using a bottle of nailtiques to strengthen my nails and it’s working wonders. After I finish this bottle, I plan to do a painted manicure w many layers of topcoat ( to build up the protection similar to gel ). Mine are doing so much better w the nailtiques. And of course using plenty of oils , balms, creams etc. also I learned to properly repair a broken nail/nail split etc and this is really important.
keeping them painted with gel really helps! I used to file the surface of my nails very rough before putting the gel (thinking it will last longer) and they were very WEAK, now I file just very little (almost nothing) before gel and omg they last and they feel stronger, I also don't peel the gel off like I used to do lol just take the time to soak them in acetone and take them off lol
Yes yes yes to all of this! Minimal prep is all you need and proper removal is key! It's worth taking the time. I'm with you - one of the best ways to keep nails from breaking :)
Great tips! My nails are growing super fast from rubbing them with lemon, olive oil and tea tree several days a week and applying a keratin fast nail growing polish. I also regularly clean them. I do nail maintenance every other day. I also take vitamins b and d and niacin. I also take prenatal vitamines several days a week and collegan.
I have kept my nails short since I was 15. This halloween I decided to give it a shot at letting them grow because I wanted to paint them black. I have not gotten back to short nails. Now I’m obsessed with almond shaped nails 💅🏻 and yes, nail aid works wonders (all of them not just the biotin one). I can’t believe how long my nails are rn.
Woohoo!! THIS MAKES ME SO HAPPY!!! :):) Once you're able to grow long nails on your own, you never want to go back -- and the thought of tips/press ons really isn't the same. What other Nail Aid products do you love? I've tried a few, but the Biotin is still my fave :)
@@AmandaBellaa agreed biotin is top but the keratin one it’s pretty good and the purple one is good too. Now I’m a nail aid junkie thx to u 🤗
I'm going through thin nails now after gel, and am super bummed, although I did a gel overlay and will just change nail polish here and there while they grow out. The worst feeling is pressure on thin nails, ugh! Shivers. I can't wait for them to grow out again. I'm new to gel, so definitely learning as I go. :) Do you ever watch the Nail Hub on yt?? Excellent videos about gel!
I agree that a gel manicure makes my nails grow like crazy!! I love and hate it at the same time. They almost get too long for me to manage and I have accidentally scratched myself. I just removed my gel nails at home and make sure that they are well moisturized. I always file them round as it makes them appear longer and elegant. Collagen powder also made my nails grow very quickly.
Hahaha! Too much growth!? 😱 I totally understand what you’re saying though. At least you know what works best for you!! ❤️💅🏼
@@AmandaBellaa Yes, way too long for me. I felt like I was Wolverine! LOL
Great tips, thank you! I follow everything you talked about except for using gel. I find the removal process too harsh for my thin peeling nails and greatly weakens them. Cuticle oil, round shape, glass file, my job becoming much less manual, not using them as tools finally helped me achieve long nails. Never thought I could have them. Used to keep them in soft square and they would break frequently. Biggest change for me personally was to constantly keeping them painted. The extra layers of polish, base and top coats add strength. Whenever I had them naked they would break easily from me hitting everyday objects. How many times I broke a nail opening my car door and my hand slipping! One thing that hasn’t changed is they break every August, don’t know what that’s all about but it’s consistent year to year.
I'm so happy you've figured out a routine that works for you! If you can manage without gel, more power to you - I wish I could! Keeping them painted is key, the added protection makes all the difference! So interesting about the annual August mishaps LOL. I totally understand though, I usually have very short nails for Christmas, but this year I was adamant about keeping them long & strong thru December. Of course this past week I broke two. The winter does me zero favors haha. Can't win em all!
I have heard so many great things about gel mani's. The sets are so expensive (I'll have to save for a gel set) I'll check Sally's
They make some really affordable options now! Even if you just grab a base coat & small/portable LED lamp - you can paint your regular polish on top! That one gel layer is all you need for some added protection.
Thank you for this great info. Your make up is gorgeous! Will you share what lipstick you are wearing?
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed! I believe this was the Mented lip liner in "Dope" and the Givenchy Le Rose Perfecto Lip Balm in Blue Pink!! :)
I would just like to say I use the Nail Aid biotin strengthener that you have recommended & I think it does help strengthen my nails. I also use Burt’s Bees cuticle balm & try & put hand lotion on my nails to keep them moisturized & sometimes I use castor oil on my toenails & I know that works wonders on them. I am writing this comment as my own because I replied to a user named Emer on this video sharing my tips with them but they deleted the comment. I think you should know it might be a spam account.
Great tips 💅 TFS 💜
Thanks for watching!
Great video thank you so much…I make my own cuticle oil with essential oils and put it in an old polish bottle. Can you please do a video while completely explaining how to do it with using regular polish but use a gel top. I would be so appreciative 💗 I have everything I need but I never use it
That's so cool! I love DIY cuticle oils - there are so many products in the home that can be used! I recommend a gel base & regular polish on top - the other way around doesn't always work out so well :(
Thank you I will try
I am yet to find a gel that doesn't wreck my nails😔 so I go old school with normal nail polish. Even if it only lasts a week, my nails are in good condition.
Beautiful nails
I have this bad habit of when I’m cleaning or doing dishes I almost get tunnel vision or something and all caution goes out the window with my nails. I get so mad at myself after when I see the damage and I recognize what I’m doing when it’s happening but I can’t pause long enough to be careful. ADHD maybe. II just need to slow down and practice being in the moment.
I use glass files love them. I tried the collagen and had to stop because it gave me
The poops
Glass files are the best!! And ohh I don't blame you for stopping - def don't want to deal with those kinds of side effects haha
@@AmandaBellaa No definitely not. I love my glass files and all my lady friends I recommend them get them
I just wish I stayed with you...in my area, it is hard to find these things and they are very expensive
What is the best nail strengthner is best for you my natural nails
What are your thoughts on 'builder' gel? Have you tried peel off base coats ?
I have a builder/structure/poly gel that I'm hoping to try ASAP! Will definitely report back. I haven't tried peel off base coats - have you? I'm not sure I'm sold on that idea haha
Hi, please can I ask how do you get your white tip nails so perfect? The lines are good, what makes me wants crack is is the precision of the white tips which I find is hard to find when done with gel
These are great tips but I’ve developed an allergy to any gel nail product. I gave gel nail polish a 4 year break then tried again and had another terrible reaction. Do you have any suggestions to help rehab nails without using gel? My main issue is peeling. Thank you!!
Oh no! That really stinks, I'm sorry to hear that! The Biotin Ultimate Strength base coat is a great treatment for rehabbing nails - a good top coat also helps with peeling/chipping. The Olive & June super glossy top coat, INM Out The Door, and Essie Gel Setter are three of my current favorites!
@@AmandaBellaa Thank you! I will try the base coat. My current HG top coat is Essie Gel Couture. I will try the Olive & June one.
How do you feel about the press on nails to help them grow?
Ehh honestly not my favorite.
@@AmandaBellaa Thank you!
Hi! What do you think of using builder gel/biab?
While these are great tips a key factor in growing long nails is having strong nails. It seems like no matter what I do my nails are weak and as soon as I start to get some length they break/rip/snag/peel and that is even with gel polish on.
Yeah same
What if you can't afford it's I what long nails
My nails are growing first
I paused the video to put on oil and lotion.
