For 8 months I have been using a combination of Essie Glow & Shine, Sally Hansen Double Duty Base & Top Coat and Sally Hansen Top Coat Glazed Miracle Gel. I apply either 1 or 2 of these polishes and they all contain nitrocellulose and I have no yellow staining whatsoever.
Thank you so much for sharing!!!❤❤❤❤
You're so right, I tried to look for it at the shops and it was no longer available. I have just ordered 2 bottles from a beauty website but I'm pretty sure it's almost discontinued! Love your videos btw, have learned and applied so much already. Thank you! xx
I would love to try this ❤
I've used this base coat and yes, it peeled. It especially peeled if I used it as a clear coat. As soon as I had a shower, it was a mess. And now I know why. Sometimes there's a good reason for products to contain certain ingredients, that we tend to demonize for whatever reason. I've had no yellowing on my nails ever since I started removing my polish with acetone (several years ago). I will definitely not be using this base coat again.
Well, I don’t think I demonise nitrocellulose. All ingredients have pros and cons and it’s good to be aware of both.
Normal polishes most definitely stain the nails even though I use acetone to remove it. Even clear nail polish made my nails yellow. Now they are much better.
For me I don’t mind re-polishing my nails during the week. It literally takes me 10 min including drying. I would not use is as base coat though. Re-polishing nails with color and top coat after 1-2 days would be super annoying
@@TheSalonLife I change my polish a couple of times a week, I don't mind it, I enjoy doing my nails. And maybe that's partly the reason my nails don't yellow, because I don't keep the polish on them for a full week. But I do think a base coat peeling in less than a day just because I had a shower is unacceptable. I cannot see this as a quality product.
One day wear is not reasonable. Thankfully it lasts few days on me now without peeling.
I would not use it as a base coat though. It won’t prevent yellowing if the color coat has nitrocellulose. Base coats is porous and the nitric acid has an ability to penetrate through it easily.
So as base coat it fails.
That’s good to know about it being porous, I was wondering that. And cool to hear another/different real life experience too
@TheSalonLife Thank you so much for this great tip! This base coat on its own works really well for me. I got it five days ago - and you might be very right about the discontinuation as well - I had to order mine online as I couldn’t find them in the stores anymore. Still I am very happy and also very happy that I found you and your wonderful channel. I have learnt so much from you. Thank you so much. 😊
I haven’t tried this, but I looove the Perfecting Gloss that you featured about 2 years ago. It’s perfection. I ordered and then bought more in Europe. Also good are all the Catrice neutrals. The brush is better than many expensive polishes.
On a different note, Anna, will you ever consider becoming an authorised seller of Dazzle Dry in EU? I’m sure a lot of us folks who live in Europe would jump on the opportunity to get dazzle dry, especially if we can also support you! You have already built a consumer base here haha!!
I thought about it but 1). It’s a very expensive product and it would make it too expensive after all the taxes and expensive shipping.
2). I don’t think DD is interested in having distributors/sellers outside of USA really.
3) investment. Having stock is pricy. I don’t know how other re-sellers do it and still turn profit.
@@TheSalonLife oh I see, these are all very valid points. I don’t know if you’ve talked to DD already, but maybe working with them directly will help reduce the initial investment, and hopefully also making the products not that much expensive than they already are in the states? But as you said, if they’re not interested in having distributors outside of US, then it really doesn’t make sense to do it by yourself. It’s such a pity that these amazing nail polish brands seem hesitant to expand. I’ve also been eyeing olive and June polishes for ages but they don’t ship outside the US either :(
@@TheSalonLife Or maybe, even, you can crack the code of DD’s formulae and create your own nitrocellulose-free nail polish brand, maybe with Doug Schoen even BAHAHAHA!! (Don’t listen to me, I know nothing about cosmetic chemistry nor entrepreneurships)
I take Dazzle Dry to Harrods when i get my nails done and they are always so impressed with the product. I know they have reached out and they didn't get anywhere with Dazzle Dry. Such a shame as it's an amazing product. I have to order from the US and have people ship it to me but it's worth it.
Love this polish! I bought it after watching a video where you talked about it a couple of months ago and I am very happy with it. I also use the OPI repair mode and together with the Catrice base coat my nails are looking healthier and brighter then they have done in months! Unfortunately I had some trouble finding the product online (I am in the U.K.) I eventually found a website that had it and bought two bottles however it has since been discontinued and I have no idea where to buy it again…
Thank you for all your explanations & advice. I just found your channel today I’ve had nail issues all my life with “bendy” nails & peeling. But now you have taught me how to resolve these. Have you ever tried ozonated olive oil? I notice when I use it consistently on my nails, my cuticles (or rather the nail fold, as I’ve just learned from you) are much healthier. I’m definitely going to order the Kerasal & jojoba oil & start using these. Might add castor oil to the jojoba oil to encourage growth. Can’t thank you enough for your FABULOUS education💓💗💞💕💖💝
Anna
Your nails look really lovely and healthy
Thank you :)
I’ve been using this since you showed it us on a previous video! I hope they don’t stop selling it
how is it lasting on you? Are you applying just 1 coat?
thanks for your review anna :) i actually bought this nail polish like almost two years ago because i saw that it was nitrocellulose-free
as you said and explained in many of your videos it is indeed the nitrocellulose that can stain the nails and as i wanted to counterbalance the yellowness of my nails i thought that this product was just perfect for me. unfortunately as a base coat it is not very durable as it tends to peel but as a clear coat (like you used it) it is valid ! and yes, the smell.. let’s just say it could be better.. ;)
Thankfully the smell disappears fast :)
Hi. Would you recommend this instead of using dazzle dry base and clear top coat?
I bought this polish after watching your video about it and my experience is the same: it peels very fast. It is not usable as a basecoat but it's okay for just wearing one or two coats of it.
By the way: I love your videos! Many greetings from Austria! Victoria
I find 2 coats peel more than 1.
I will try again :-)
Totally sold out in US😔
Again, thank you so much for an informative, helpful video! I've noticed your nails got even more gorgeous than they usually are 😅 specifically, the free edge is whiter than before, which gives them a natural "French tips" look. Is there something that you do/something you recommend to achieve that?
I went polish free for a whole week. :)
😂 é esse o segredo? Vou fazer 😂😂
Meu sonho é ter unhas efeito francesinha natural❤ lindo demais ❤😊bjsss
I quickly ordered the clear polish directly from Amazon. Thank you for all your tips and efforts to pass on your knowledge to us. I also had such extremely brittle nails back then, although I actually wore nail polish very rarely. Usually only every few months.
After I followed your recommendations with the jojoba oil bath once a week, they only split very rarely. They were very bendy and then broke. They look so healthy now. Unfortunately they are still very bendy and only a little better now. Could the OPI Repair Mode possibly help? Would it be worth a try? I would also like to use nail polish after 6 months, but as soon as I use nail polish, my nails are even softer and even more bendy.
Did you get this one on Amazon?
Yes, I quickly ordered the Catrice nail polish shown here in the video from Amazon. I was afraid that it might not come out without nitrocellulose. 😅
Could you share a link? I can't find it on Amazon. USA?
@@TheSalonLife I just saw that my answer was deleted. Unfortunately I can't share the link as I ordered it in Germany via Amazon.
Hello Anna, I would like to buy your kit from Soft Touch but shipping to Spain is truly expensive, is there another option? Thanks!
I love this one ❤ Why do you think it should be discontinued?
Hi your comment is the newest so I just want to ask you if you have any recipes or products for nail growing I just need it to be long and thx
Oh btw, I forgot to mention it in my comment, but have you reviewed OPI strengtheners? My nails are bendy and peely, and I've always wondered what your opinion was on both the OPI Nail Envy and the OPI Natural Nail Strengthener (they seem very similar when it comes to ingredients tbh, I don't quite see the difference).
People say they're quite effective but I'm pretty sure they contain tosylamide/formaldehyde resin? Similar thing with the Herome nail hardeners if I'm not mistaken, so I'm worried about using them. What's your take on them?
I'm also interested in that topic :)
Have you tried the Trind Caring Base Coat? Their website also lists CAB as an ingredient instead of nitrocellulose
The website I looked at doesn’t list ingredients. Drives me nuts when companies do that. Some people are allergic to certain ingredients it’s should be required for a website to list the ingredients when they are selling the product online.
I managed to find these ingredients:
ETHYL ACETATE, BUTYL ACETATE, CELLULOSE ACETATE BUTYRATE, ADIPIC ACID/NEOPENTYL GLYCOL/TRIMELLITIC ANHYDRIDE COPOLYMER, ISOPROPYL ALCOHOL, ACETYL TRIBUTYL CITRATE, ETOCRYLENE, DIMETHYL OXOBENZO DIOXASILANE, GLYCIDOXYPROPYL TRIMETHOXYSILANE, METHACRYLOYL PROPYLTRIMETHOXYSILANE, MERCAPTOPROPYL TRIMETHOXYSILANE, METHYLTRIETHOXYSILANE, ISOSTEARIC ACID, SORBITAN OLEATE, RED 33 (CI 17200), COCOYL HYDROLYZED KERATIN, RED 17 (CI 26100)
With a note:
Please note that ingredients may change from time to time. You will find an updated list of ingredients on the package.
- how good for me is to find the list of the package when I’m buying online. Too late. And they don’t make it easy to return it either. Honestly things like this turn me off from a brand.
PS. Amazon.com says it does contain nitrocellulose amzn.to/3UxR5Is
I'm confused. I emailed them asking more details.
I tried this as a base coat the other day and it peeled off entirely, like in one big chunk, it pretty much acted like a peeloff base coat. I wasn't expecting that so needless to say I was very pissed lol, I had worked on my nail polish that day and wanted it to last, so I understand the negative reviews from this product 😭
And you're right! It did smell kind of funky haha, maybe it has something to do with the formulation and the lack of nitrocellulose? Anyway, your nails look super healthy and stunning, wow. Do you recommend the OPI Repair Mode then?
I like the OPI Repair Mode. For the right thing :). It’s not cure all for all nail issues :)
@@TheSalonLife makes sense! I'll watch your review on it then hehe
Similar experience, good as one clear coat, although it wears off in 3-4 days. Horrible as a base coat, though, thus I understand the bad reviews. I find that nothing helps it as a base coat, I tried the maxi stay topcoat as some commenter suggested, still made the polish peal in 2-3 days. I find the opi infinite shine nitrocellulose free base coats to be very long lasting, though!
Interesting observation about OPI Infinite Shine! I tried it and it dried very sticky and almost rubbery. Which one have you tried?
I think the one I have is the ridgefiller. I have yo try the other ones! Thank you for reminding me!!
Ps. I also tried the top coat you mentioned and it made it worse. It peeled off faster.
@@TheSalonLife oops I didn’t make it clear haha, I find the opi ones to be good base coats and colours lasts well on top! I also can’t wear them just by themselves because they also dry rubbery on me. I’ve tried the ridge filler one and the purple-ish one, and I liked both(as base coats). Maybe an idea to wear another layer of nitrocellulose free top coat for the clear look(two coats in total)?
Ah, OK, I tried the base with OPI Top coat (nitrocellulose free) and it peeled in like 1 day.
@@TheSalonLife oh no, that’s sad to hear!!
any UK followers know any nitro free brands?
🙂
It’s already discontinued in The Netherlands unfortunately. They came out with a new line and guess what… it’s included nitrocellulose🥹
Neee :(
Why do you think it's going to be discontinued? Is it due to the reviews?
Yes. It also is starting to be difficult to find. I will stock up on few bottles
@@TheSalonLife I have looked at the reviews and they seem quite divided, quite a lot of really positive reviews and then a fair number of negative ones too. When I see that I do wonder if there is an element of user error involved, in that the product isn't being applied properly, ie on clean nails, in nails in poor condition, or applied too thickly etc.
😉👍
Hi, I am Raneem. I am very interested in your channel. I want to get advice from you to improve the shape of my nails. I am trying in 2021 until now to improve their shape. I want to contact you. How???? From Saudi Arabia. Thank you.❤❤
so sad we dont have it here in sweden :/
Thank you as always for your fantastic reviews! 🩷 I’ll do my best to find a bottle or two for my mum, as she struggles with yellowing nails.
