"cover up your mistakes with glitter" does this work with everything else in life?

[@Banicured]

I sure hope so

[@sharicross547]

If only...

[@cammey3]

Yep...just run around with a mini pot of glitter and throw it at your ex's and woolah! Hopefully they vanish

[@forsuresullivan]

it should wouldn't that be grand 😜

[@anniehaydon4646]

Works for me!! 🧚🏻‍♀️

[@Lobstrique]

i've been doing nail art for several years now, and it seems like i've seen all the possible nail hack videos. usually they have the same hacks, but somehow i keep hoping for something new to learn :) and ohmygod THIS IS IT! i've gotten so much from your video, thank you! the dotting tool for cleanup hack, the don't sponge up to the cuticle hack, the perfect illustration for why you need a quick-dry topcoat before applying vynils. i think i'm gonna rewatch it much more than once and i love your fingers, honestly :) my mom has much more crooked fingers and i think they look out-of-the-ordinary in the best possible way.

[@Banicured]

What a sweet comment!! Thank you so much. I'm so happy this could help you :)

[@melodiousmoon1053]

you nail had to be longer for the shape of nail you have

[@saraarocha8144]

I completely agree, I'm an amateur home nail girl myself, however, all the videos I've seen so far are exactly the same. UNTIL this one! I'M SO HAPPY! You have such great ideas and your visual demonstrations are perfect to follow! THANKS DARLIN!

[@jayjaytailor]

I cannot believe this video is over 3 years old and I didn't know any of these hacks. I guess we are never too old to learn something new. Thanks for these wonderful tips! I hope you still read your comments when you posted this so long ago 👍

[@niccy186]

Whenever my cap is broken I just screw the cap back on and it usually is back to normal one time I had to reappear twice

[@SweetDesertHoney]

I have been doing nail art for about 20 years and a couple of these hacks are new to me, so THANK YOU!!!! I am officially subscribed to your channel now too ♡

[@sarahprince6975]

The one I liked most was applying the glitter polish to a sponge 1st! I hate applying too many coats of clear just to get enough glitter...Thank You!!

[@louisefromNY]

I have been going to the same nail salon for over 7 years. I now want to try doing my own nails... This is all brand new to me. WOW!!! I don't know some of the things that you are talking about, but I sure want to... I took off the gels and tips and can't wait to get started. The first thing is learning how to do my own nails and make them look pretty... That vinyl nail polish is a must.

[@raynathompson]

Several years later.... Just want to say "Thanks!" I don't know why I didn't think of using a small photo album for my nail decals, but that is a great idea. And from now on I'll be using glitter to repair bumps and smudges to fresh polish.

[@chippyl3331]

Glitter on a sponge is GENIUS! I usually have to use 2-3 coats to get enough glitter, and then it's so thick, it chips off super easy! TFS❤

[@daniellekleinhoffify]

I thought I was the only one with crooked fingers ! thanks!

[@dumboreo146]

same

[@trinefj11]

Danyellow I got them too :)

[@Banicured]

I used to think the same thing and that I was just a weirdo with strange fingers but honestly it's good to see I'm not alone lol. thank you for watching!

[@medape]

Me too!

[@rachelappleyardd]

I have odd thumbs

[@aprilgreen62]

The thumbs painted last is the best and simplest thing ever. Why didn’t I think of that. 😊

[@arleneshumaker8763]

The broken cap hack is amazing! I'll definitely be doing that. And it's good to know that I'm not the only one who gets wonky brushes. I've been using that hack to fix them.

[@kleridek1554]

Am I the only one who finds it REALLY satisfying when she paints her nails?? 😂

[@kajun8561]

Great hacks, thank you! Mineral oil will easily remove stickers/sticker residue. Plus you can paint it gently over fresh polish. The oil sets the polish, not completely dry, but set. It's the main ingredient in all manufactured polish quick dry liquids. I filled an empty polish bottle for easy application.

[@SweetDesertHoney]

I am so confused by what you're saying here, because it kind of goes against what I know, but I AM a natural blonde (lol) and could just be misunderstanding something... would you mind explaining this with a little more detail? Thank you :)

[@anne853]

Wow, you gave us some hacks I've _actually_ never heard before. I didn't think that was possible since I've watched every nail video _ever made_. SUBSCRIBED.

[@Banicured]

thank you so much!! That was my whole goal, so I'm happy you enjoyed my video :)

[@SongbirdInShadow]

Other acetone related hack: If it gets on a wood surface like a table or something, you can put a thin/medium thick cloth over it and then iron on top of it at high heat until the acetone stains are gone. Kind of a pain for non-flat surfaces like edges of the table or things like that but it works really well if you spill acetone on a wooden surface :)

[@dawnstonerock4253]

Better hack… don’t do your nails on a wood surface

[@meredithkersey9564]

Starting a dark gradient lower on the nail for less cleanup = genius! I'm definitely planning to incorporate that trick soon. Thanks Bana!

[@Banicured]

yay!! thank you for watching, Meredith!

Beautiful manicure. When I went to cosmetology school, learning to do mani/pedis, i learned that you always start with your little finger anyway. Thanks for your nail hacks. Thanks, and I’m a new subbie.💅🏽💅🏽💕🌈

[@reigningrubies1152]

Lololol "no one wants to see me flip anyone off with that thing!" Omg you're the cutest lol I'm baggin up!

[@gracecoverstone]

i'm so sorry about everybody saying you copy simply nailogical. i recognize your unique talent and appreciate the video! ☺☺☺

[@marielleallen4039]

Thank u for making this! Most nail art hack vids are the same 5 things that we've all heard before like glitter removal and blah blah blah, but I didn't know about the opaque glitter and sponge one and that's going to help me a lot! Especially since I love glitter :)

[@Banicured]

I'm so happy to hear this was helpful! :)

[@amysuewest3826]

Excellent tips! I like the one about painting a clear coat on your nail before you use the nail vinyl.

[@danielasarmiento30]

In the thumb hack, I use an orangewood stick to clean around my fingers. That way I never ruin my thumbs. And if the dry polish gets clumpy in the stick, I file off the dry polish. I've used the same stick for years

[@CV-tc4vc]

I use the orange wood stick as well!

[@Stevannah321]

I loved all of these hacks! Especially the one where you bump your nail after polishing them, I do that a lot. Thanks for sharing!

[@lissfirefly9517]

Simply Nailogical totally disproves and disagrees with not putting thick glitter on a sponge. She does it a ton and it turns out beautifully.

Ok? Cristine's opinion isn't the only one that matters. I respect hers but I'm allowed to have my own

[@charulathakailas3742]

and

[@tamaramorton8812]

I enjoyed watching very much but I remember now that I don't have the patience to do most of this. I love the way your nails look, though. I started taking piano lessons when I was young so I grew up having short nails because the longer ones would click on the keys and make it harder to play. So I'll just watch you do fun things with your nails and enjoy it that way.😄

[@heathersmith6630]

Great hacks honey! I know this is an older video but I’m just seeing it. Love the photo album idea for the vinyls! Thanks so much for all the awesome ideas!

[@mindyvaughn8217]

These were SO Brilliant!! I love the one where you paint your thumbs last. By the way I have that same furry photo album. I bought mine about a year ago when I was 54 years old.😂 I had not heard of any of these. I have tried to make my manicure last longer by painting the open space next to my cuticle but the way you do it is much better. Really great ideas!

[@rainytedandeffi7216]

I'm new to nail painting, i've always been a biter but i grew them so i'm really pleased i found your video

[@timidelle1127]

this is AMAZING! so many hacks I didn't know 😍 you deserved a new subscriber xx

[@Banicured]

thank you so much!! glad you enjoyed the video :)

[@mashellthomas4813]

Wow #20 is the best tip for me. I have kids that come first so I'm not able to get mine filled right away. I never thought of that. It blends great, good tip

[@AdirondackSpirit]

Horizontal clear coat with stripes: so simple yet so genius - thank you!! :-)

[@katetatman3918]

absolutely love the hack of putting my nail vinyls in a small picture album!! organization makes my brain happy. how about some tips on using the darn things: nail vinyls? Whenever i try to use the type that are used while in a square (ie: zebra, Moroccan, rain drops, hounds tooth), as opposed to the single (ie: straight, zig zag, shevron), i can't get them to lie flat and stick evenly, and so my lines are almost never sharp. this is because my nails are so curved. My problem, i think, is that i do not know where to clip the vinyl so it will lie flat, won't "leak", and keeps the integrity of the design.

[@littlevampire202]

I thought: I'll probably know almost all of them and i actually knew 2 or 3!! tfs

almost every single one of these were new to me this video rocked thanks!

[@carol29carnegie]

Hi I'm a new subscriber and I thought I would know most of these hacks but amazingly I learned a lot, my tip is I always start painting my pinky nail first and work round to my thumb that way there's less chance of smudging the previous nails, thanks for all the information xx

[@trinefj11]

I always paint my left hand then my right, since I always get polish on the opposite hand so I can always use nail polish remover to get it off and a new top coat! :)

[@Melyssa.RLopez]

These are Great Hacks!!! I never thought of any of these the nick covered with glitter AMAZING!!!

[@Nicole0Lisa]

your nails are so beautiful! and finally a nail hack video, where rhe youtuber is able to actually paint his nails

[@Banicured]

thank you so much!

[@sleepydarling]

Hooooly shit #8 literally blew my mind!! I've always stayed away from dark gradients because I hate stained cuticles. I'm so happy I follow you on insta and that I watched this video!

[@suenami3014]

Figured out the paint the thumbs last early on, very helpful. I was hoping you would address the little bumps that happen for no particular reason. Is it dust or old nail polish or air bubbles? Or just the exposure to air every time you use it, definitely thickening up the polish. Can it be thinned out with anything? Love the liquid latex, I'm the worst, especially with darker colors. Thanks in advance for any advice you can offer!

[@Banicured]

It could be any of the 3 but it is most likely that your polish is too thick. I would try adding some nail polish thinner (I get mine at Sally's and CosmoProf) and see if that helps. Also be sure you are not shaking your polish immediately before using it. Hope that helps and thank you for watching!

[@suenami3014]

Thanks for your quick response!

You guys !! I just realized that for the cutting the sponge hack, you can re-use the back of the slide of sponge you previously used!

[@sspute]

+The Great Big Heaven In the Ground mine?

[@alinapatel4532]

[@silverandexact]

I'm pretty sure I've used two sponges for like 20 gradients because I cut the sponges to exactly the size I need and reuse the heck out of those things

[@AminahMosley]

Yaaaas...paint thumbs last!! And the vertical vs horizontal painting when doing stripes...thanks for those

[@stella-pp6tn]

In the 3rd one u can just put the cap back in and open it again

[@Pebblesmas]

Yeah, that's what I thought to, so you don't need any other tools and no nailpollish on the tool or yourself ;-) But nevertheless brilliant idea with this extra tip ;-)

Great hacks! And No u didn't waste my time , never heard them before ! Love the filing nail opposite direction of bent finger and top coat before vinyls ! Subscribed!

[@carypeterson9554]

I probably need liquid latex for every time I paint my nails just as a general rule! Lol! I am awful! 🤦🏻‍♀️

[@dawnstiller]

That was my favorite tip too! My daughter has some she uses for cosplay. I'm going to clean out an old polish bottle and pour some off for myself for manicures.

[@seraphim_sounds]

Love it! I’m going to the dollar store today to pick up some of this stuff. TY. My daughter & I should hv fun.

[@grownwoman777]

When she said call the company i laughed my world off! I am only allowed to buy nail polishes that are on sale or max $15

[@manisavvy9632]

Grown Woman idk who’s telling you you are only allowed to buy polish on sell......but tell them to go jump off a cliff and buy that polish love. LIVE YOUR BEST POLISHED LIFE!!!❤️

[@SarahOrman]

So helpful! Thank you. My favourite tip was to topcoat before using a vinyl sticker. 😀

[@MRossetti50]

Amazing hacks I was watching this while my nails where drying. I am going to try them. Thanks for sharing. MaryAnn

[@Iserailyvelasquez]

For the nail polish stick to stay in the bottle you can just close it again and then twist it when you open it

[@elizabetharans8469]

omg the one where he says to do the thumbs last it so genius I literally said out loud "thats genius I've actually never thought of that before

[@danielle21xx87]

Elizabeth Arans Same! I’m gonna do that from now on☺️👌🏼

[@saraarocha8144]

Right!? I was over here like...SERIOUSLY?! Why have I NEVER thought of this??? Lol

[@taraerskine3954]

that silver and turquoise ring is beautiful!!!

[@FM-cf2hy]

Thanks for sharing let me sugest you my little trick to clean my nails. To clean the back of your nails try a soft toothbrush to wash them you will get a better results with out hurting your self

[@danielle21xx87]

Fanny Medina That’s a good idea👌🏼 as a lot of nail brushes/scrubbers are quite rough & harsh. So thanks 4this idea❤️

[@1015SaturdayNight]

I have been stamping but have not tried vinyls yet. Great video and really useful. Thank you!

[@Banicured]

glad you enjoyed it!

[@kstew22]

For No. 3 you can just twist the cap back on and then take it off and it's fixed

[@jayliq8938]

SmackToDaFace ikr that one is useless

[@MsCherade9]

KennedyStewart Once it's unglued inside it will keep falling out every so often. It's better to fix it so it doesn't fall out when you're in the middle of painting your nails.

[@fieryredhead95]

Totally love all of your hacks. Thank you so very much 💕💕

[@shannoncambridge4643]

For hack 3, all you had to do was screw the lid back on and shake the bottle.

[@Banicured]

that may only work temporarily. Glue ensures it won't happen again

4:45 lol, I thought I was the only one!!! Whenever I paint my own nails I do that, but whenever I paint someone else's nails, I don't because I'm afraid that it will hurt them... I'm glad someone else does this too!😂😊

[@Erikaahh_Mae]

when you said smile line y were actually talking about the cuticle line. the smile line is the line that separates your skin under your fingertip to your actual nail, you can see it when you have no polish on through your nail. does that make sense? it's hard to explain

[@Banicured]

I know, I just misspoke :)

[@Annak-zd4vf]

I got those spounges at the dollar store, and even though they're cheap, they do amazingly!

[@justiceblackwolf369]

i leave the brush in and just glue the cap right on, dont have to take it out ! :p easier that way, no mess

[@kathienell4170]

I thought I was the only one with crooked middle fingers, but I liked the way you filed the nail to make the finger look straighter. And your hack about doing your thumbnails last is really a great idea. I always am having to "clean up" around the nails and end up messing up my thumb nail.

[@mookzmom]

New subscriber here, just waving “hi” and thanking you for sharing your info with us!

[@kelovely6011]

I use my thumbs for cleaning up my nails too, but I dip the tip of my thumb in remover first. Also have a cotton ball with a bit of remover on it so that you can swipe your thumb after every nail clean up. 😁👌 These were all great tips and hacks, thank you! 🤗

[@laurab597]

Both middle fingers are bent but I've never broken them??💿💿

Are those your actual nails? I wish my nails looked like that! My nails are paper thin and stupid shaped. Thanks for the video.

[@hmh1905]

Excellent Hacks!!! The best I've seen on nails... can I just add one little thing ?...for the perfectionists out there ....we learned in beauty school the proper way to apply polish is always to try to do each nail in only three brushstrokes and never over paint .... ( especially good for when polish starts to get thicker ) SO in order to achieve that you press down on the loaded side of your brush a bit harder than you are ---starting in the centre --- and then Fill left and right side in after....in one smooth stroke from cuticle to nail tip. know what I mean jellybean ?? so that more than half the nail is painted with the first stroke down the centreline and then you are just filling in the sides to blend ...(if you're not doing nail art -best done very thin and repeat for second coat) you get really good at applying the exact same amount to every nail in just three strokes if you are a professional that does nail polish all day ... ( I taught my six-year-old when she was first learning to do nail polish to go slow take your time and Do that instead of little short strokes that are a mess and just make it tacky ...and she does a great job of not even getting it on the skin) ! This way you only dip the brush twice -- enough for one complete length down the wide centre and half on either side of the second load on the brush -if needed. Some brushes are really great like- sally Hansen miracle gel - which is wide and flat and holds enough product that you can do an entire nail in one dip without dripping, using this technique! love your video! Thank u....plse. Show us more of how u do nail art!
