    That topcoat is seriously the bomb. Bought it because you recommended it and I'm on my second bottle now. It is amazing and doesn't get goopy and thick like others.

    OMG THANK YOU FOR THESE NAIL VIDEOS!!! I have been doing my nails wrong for my ENTIRE LIFE! I did not go to cosmetology school, so I never learned these things. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!

    Wow. You explained everything so beautifully and clearly. I am a nail art junkie. I had brittle nails then 1 product worked like magic for my nails- Etude house "Help my finger" base coat+nail strengthner. You must try and you will never look back. Affordable alternative to Opi nail envy. Just USD 6.
    Also suggest using garlic oil once or twice a week.

    Good morning to my favorite panda. Just wanted to second your use of wet n'wild polishes. I can remember how I used to be such a nail snob until I bought a set of their polishes for my granddaughter. I have loved them ever since. Almost all of my polishes are wet n'wild, JulieG, and independent lines. Love to you and Tater!

    You described Glisten & Glo, HK Girl perfectly......Magic in a bottle, it is life changing! Your hand's are so pretty....is that weird to say? You have the perfect long nail bed's and long fingers. I'm so jelly! My hands look like they have been through a war zone, tons of IV's will do that. I hold my brush the same way. My mom taught me how to paint my nails when I was pretty young and we're both lefties. Because I'm a lefty if I hold the brush differently I make a hot mess, I have tried. It also took me a long time to not make a mess. With painting your nails practice really does make perfect. Hope you have a fabulous week, Dani!

    I just watched your video on Sally Hansen website. I wanted to learn how to apply the gel polish. You gave me the perfect way to hold my brush. We are never too old to learn! I’m 68 my hands are a little shaky and your tip helped so much! Thank you!!

    Seriously dani, I always would get frustrated with bottom and top coats so I quit even trying them. I bought those two after your other video and my life has seriously changed. I can't believe my nails. I now change the polish because I'm bored of the color, not because they look bad!

  • @gwenmely20

    I use a very similar technique for applying my polish, but when you first described how you hold the brush, I thought it sounded weird ... but then I was just painting my nails and realized that's exactly how I hold my brush too!!! ; )

    @nicolemartinez1403 10 років тому

    Hey Dani! I just wanna say thanks for sharing your secret! I have a 6 month old baby & I'm a stay at home mom. I either never have time to paint my nails or they just always ended up chipping from waiting for them to dry or from all the house work that I do, so I had just stopped painting them completely :( Until I bought the base coat and clear coat you recommend.
    You saved my life girly!!! The top coat dries up so fast so I don't have to worry about messing them up. The nail polish stays on for weeks if I wanted! All I have to do is do a quick touch up and a swap of the clear coat and I'm done! :)
    Sorry for the novel, but thanks!!! -Nicole

    @MeeShelle05 10 років тому +4

    I love that top coat too I have the base as well but I don't think it's good because my nails still chip AND I always do the tip. My nail polish never lasts more than a day or two drives me nuts. My HK Girl Top Coat actually did get goopy I'm going to put it in some warm water and see if that helps. I'm also going to try your base coat you use. Love your videos!

    • @BelleHoney

      Me too and it pulled away from the nail polish as well

    • @mcp0y3

      add nail polish thinner there's a good one at sallys. the site even recommends you do when it gets goopy not warm water.

  • @2tzus
    @2tzus 10 років тому

    My nails have been super soft and thin and have split and peeled all my life until I started using Nailtiques Formula 2 Plus. I use it twice a week as a base coat. After a month or two as your nails grow out, they'll be strong and hard and NO peeling. It changed my (mani) life. I just started using HK Girl and so far I'm super impressed. Thanks Dani!

This video was very helpful I never start in the middle that explains why I have to do so much clean up and I have exactly the same nails as you they grow fast but are flakey and thin I mentioned your name in my lip monthly subscription I hope you don't mind if I put your link down below as well live your video.

    So is there anything you dont know how to do well?! I tried the shaping and using the flat toe nail clipper well thats genius. As for the painting I just painted my nails using your tips including the way you hold the brush and my nails look perfect and the polish didnt streak as badly as when I usually do my nails. Great video!!

  • @Rhonda9617
    @Rhonda9617 10 років тому

    I found HK Girl about a year ago and haven't looked back either. I have a drawer full of other fast dry top coats that are just sitting there neglected, I almost feel bad for them lol!! I haven't tried the Formula X base coat because my nearest Sephora is over three hours away. I find Orly Bonder to be a really good, long lasting, sticky base coat though :)

    Dani, your nails always look so good! I do mine in much the same way but never do the tips. I'm going to now! My nails peel like yours too! I've been using the Naitiques formula 2plus. It's expensive too but it has really helped my nails from peeling! Definitely going to order the basecoat from Sephora! Big Hugs!!!!!!! Deb

  • @lauramccollum5686
    @lauramccollum5686 10 років тому

    I have always used Nail Envy as my base coat, and my nail tips chip pretty quickly. I just looked at the bottle, and no where does it say base coat. Duh, I feel foolish! I did not realize that Nail Envy and Nailtiques Formula 2 were similar products. I will check out some base coats right away. I have heard thin coats are best to prevent chipping, too, and I struggle to make thin coats. However, you gave me some ideas on how to improve my application technique. Also, I am ready for my life to change with the HK Girl Top Coat, but I really do not like paying shipping for such a small item. Do you have any suggestions for other good Glisten & Glow products? Thank you, Dani! Loved this video, and I learned a lot!

  • @Rtista724
    @Rtista724 10 років тому +1

    Hey Dani, your vids are always my fave! :) How does the HK Topcoat compare in thickness to Seche Vite in terms of smoothing out nail art? I hate using a top coat that makes my nails look shiny, but still lumpy from doing nail designs. I recently tried Butter London's Hardwear, which is super shiny with no shrinkage, but is just a little too thin. :-/

    • @stormiestarz
      @stormiestarz 9 років тому +1

      I wouldn't say the best. Although it is very well known and loved, HK Girl is better. I know Seche Vite is very shiny, but so is HK. Also HK Girl lasts SO long and the whole bottle lasts unlike Seche Vite that becomes pretty much unusable after you use the first half of it. Some people even claim that Seche Vite shrinks!

    • @mcp0y3
      @mcp0y3 8 років тому +1

      I was a seche vite girl too ... I changed to h.k girl and don't even miss seche vite at all. I just bought my third bottle and decided to get the big 2ml bottle bc I'm that addicted to it!

    • @roadaroom386
      @roadaroom386 8 років тому +3

      HK Girl blows Seche Vite way out of the park. You'll never have to buy a thinner and will actually be able to finish the bottle without it getting goopy and thick. The owner and company is absolutely amazing. Customer service is impeccable!! Highly highly recommend! I mean it actually ends up being cheaper than Seche Vite, not including the Seche Vite thinner a lot of people end up having to buy. The Formula X Base Coat that Dani mentioned and uses is amazing as well. :) The all star is the top coat though, I honestly won't paint my nails if I don't have the HK Girl Top Coat with me. Not only for the incredible formula, but it dries SO SOOO fast!! :) Your nails are dry to the touch in less that sixty seconds and add rock hard-solid dry and you can go back to what you were doing in less than three minutes. :)

    Have you ever tried Seche Vite top coat? It's AMAZING!! Sounds like it's just like the HK one that you have! I got it after a recommendation and it's def my holy grail! Can't do my nails without it! Dries so quickly and actually fixes any mistakes by smoothing my nails! Also, it leaves such a shiny finish that it looks like I got my nails done at a professional salon! I wanna try the HK girl top coat one day, but Seche Vite is easier to find in stores haha

    • @mcp0y3
      @mcp0y3 8 років тому

      girl, switch to h.k girl. the seche vite gets goopy quick and shrinks your polish. I used to swear by it until h.k girl came into my life. I bought 2 bottles 6 months ago and still have one full bottle left it doesn't shrink and if it does get a bit goopy you can add polish thinner (even the site says it) which with seche you can only use seche restore. buuuyyy it!

    I used Formula X as base coat although I didn't use the G&G top coat (I couldn't find it but internet sales). I used instead Orly EPIX which worked great.
    I am still in the search of G&G top, since it can't be shipped to Mx (where I live) for customs regulation :( so sad...
