10 Things To STOP Doing With Your Nails!

[@AshesOfRoses]

Great advice! I would add stop neglecting oiling and moisturizing! Even if you have polish on you need to oil moisturize.

[@AmandaBellaa]

Yes yes yess to this!! 🙌🏻

Excellent tips! I also stopped going to salons even for a regular manicure. I can only use certain brands because many popular brands dry out my nails which causes breaking. My top brands are Olive & June, Orly, and ILNP.

[@tinadalasinski5282]

Never tried none of these brands will have to get a color from each brand and try them.

[@LorraineinPNW]

@@tinadalasinski5282 ...Target carries Olive & June now. Like Amanda said, you don't need a base coat with O&J, but you do need to get their top coat in the silver bottle. Sally's stopped carrying Orly in my stores, but you can find some at Ulta. ILNP-never seen in stores, but Amazon does carry some colors , although not usually the most recent collection.

[@tinadalasinski5282]

@@LorraineinPNW I will have to check Target site because I don’t have a store by me. Walmart Carrie’s Orly stuff I will have to see if they have anything color wise I like. I will definitely look for the top coat of olive and June.

Thank you!! And it’s great that you’re starting to do your own nails at home & figuring out what works best for you. We’re capable of giving ourselves Manis that are just as great & most times even better than the salon! PA: O&J really is a miracle line - their products are the best!

Yes for part two!

[@AmandaBellaa]

Definitely going to have to put together a part two!! 💅🏼💅🏼

Great advice! I ruined my nails getting dip done at the salon! It took my natural nails a couple months to get back to bring healthy. My nails are super thick & grow really fast. I've really been into giving myself gel manicures lately. I just got some cute nail stickers that make them look super fancy. I just got dish gloves bc I was having issues with the ends of my polish coming off and lifting the gel from the water is what I finally figured out...

[@carolbronson6384]

Good advice! I had to quit getting my nails done because of the way salon’s treat our natural nailbed. They use that drill for everything and my nails were paper thin. I am still working at getting my nails back in shape.

[@AmandaBellaa]

Omg! The salons should be jailed for crimes again healthy nail beds!!!! 😤 They are so rough on them - it drives me mad. I refuse to get “professional” manis anymore. Good luck, you’ll get them back into shape soon! ❤️❤️

[@chrissysvideos]

Great tips!! I was guilty of 3 of the not to do...😣 but I stopped awhile ago.....so I'm being a good girl and my nails are lasting 3 weeks now with my gel yay

[@AmandaBellaa]

Aww yes girl!!!! It’s hard to do everything ALL the time. But making some little changes make a huge difference 🎉🎉

[@delulugal06]

REALLY AMAZING TIPS...YOU DESERVE MORE SUBSCRIBERS THAN THAT!!

[@AmandaBellaa]

Thank you, that’s really sweet! I appreciate you watching. So glad you enjoyed 😁

[@roopasreersree]

thank you so much Amanda.....for giving us such wonderful tips 🥰🥰

[@bridgetsylvesterprice7379]

I always put a base coat on before I paint my nails. I just have a clear base coat polish on currently. What I do before painting my nails a dark color is put clear base coat on and leave it on for a couple of days before putting on the polish. I will be painting them black in a couple of days.

[@janaw]

Love your videos. My nails are so much stronger and healthier since I discovered you! Do you have a recommendation for glass or crystal files?

[@AmandaBellaa]

You’re so sweet ..& YAY!!! That makes me so happy! I really like the OPI & Swissco files. 💅🏼

[@jillfleming1350]

The last one is a toughie for me. I usually change my polish every 4 - 5 days because I get chips and usually once there is a chip next comes a break, some peeling or a snag : (

[@AmandaBellaa]

Yes!! That’s a good point - I thought about that afterwards. If your nails start chipping definitely remove the mani! Will have to include that one in the next round 💅🏼

[@isamb777]

Thank you Amanda! I need to get those gloves asap lol 🧤 I was gonna ask u the other day, bc someone in my family was recommending that thing that keeps popping up on Instagram with Paris Hilton promoting it. Is it good? Or is it terrible for the nails? I’m so curious.

[@AmandaBellaa]

Those gloves are the BEST 😁 And I haven’t tried the nailboo dip. I usually avoid dip altogether- but I’m curious about that system. Also, I find it hysterical that they have Paris Hilton promoting a DIY mani system 🤣🤣

How about gel overlays? Is that ok for nails?

[@AmandaBellaa]

Ohhh YES! I love overlays 🙌🏻
