6 Tips to Stop Peeling Nails & My Nail Care Routine!!!

[@kathyneff2042]

Ok that was sooo helpful! I had acrylics for 20 years, gels for 2 at a salon. Just before Covid hit I decided (for some reason) to stop and let my nails grow out. Glad I did, however, my real nails peel so badly. Found your down to earth video and am going to 'once again' try everything you've suggested. I don't want to go back to a salon...thanks again!

[@BrittMFH]

Great tip about dealing with C-curve nails, which I have and hate. I keep mine shorter and squared off, but filing off the curve sounds like a good option. Also, I have ridges and will never buff my nails again because it did weaken them and cause splitting. Instead, I apply two layers of basecoat and that smooths out the ridges. Ruffles have ridges but our nails shouldn't, LOL!

[@earisu]

Your nails were a-peeling and now they are appealing! I'm sorry.

[@TheLizzifer]

I had the wooooorst peeling nails after a manicure gone wrong. My nails were about as strong as dried seaweed. I started applying Nailtiques to my nails every time I painted my own under my base coat and it works like a charm. I haven't peeled once since, and my nails are actually tougher even though the manicure fiasco is only halfway grown out. AWESOME stuff.

[@reshik8364]

Currently in the process of growing out damage from acrylics and this video helped me sooo much thank you!

[@AshleyHayes82]

I use chapstick for my cuticle too! it's the best thing I've found for my routine and I always have it in my car. I swipe a bunch on the back of my hand and then rub into my nails.

[@madf8507]

I really recommend glass nail files they are way smoother and last a lifetime if you dust away your nail shaving at least once a week the best glass nail file is I have heard about is germanikure I think that is how it’s spelt anyway thanks for the tips I will be using them!

[@Draculiana]

I use since last year a glass file and go back and forth, it works better and faster then anything else. If you can give it a try, maybe you like it too :)

[@shweeleigh1616]

Meowleficent apparently you're "allowed" to go back n forth with a glass file cuz it doesn't shred your nails like a regular file..i need a glass file.

[@charlenestevens2676]

Meowleficent I too have learned of using a glass file. I find it leaves my nails less susceptible to rough edges 😊

[@jessiestephens3943]

Glass files are the best. I've been using them for years.😊

[@batul.3635]

Glass files really are magical. I find that my nails at the end are incredibly smooth 😊

[@capilofila]

Hi there. Loved the concealer brush and acetone hack. Hadn't thought about that one. Healthy-looking nails. My nails started growing last year for the first time in 39 years !!! after I decided to take care of them once and for all. Now they're my pride.

[@latybug427]

I use the "bridge the ridge" ridge filler base coat (found at Sally's) now instead of buffing. It works wonders!

[@nataliaanioo]

I LOVE this video and just bought the nailtique formula! But most of all I love your charisma and the fact that you are so real about everything

[@dawnbryan6553]

This video was so helpful for me. I, too, have Hashimoto's and peeling nails and 2 nails with a vertical split and hardly drink water. Thank you for giving me tips and hope!

[@karly7328]

Yay!!! I'm so happy right now! Remember I was one of the people that requested this about a month ago and you replied telling me you would film it!! I'm so excited to watch this!❤😋

[@mmisskriss1590]

Thank you!!! I have the same nail problems and I have high hopes this routine can save my ugly broken nails in time for my wedding so THANK YOU

[@rollypolypress]

I have my first real set of nails and been using sally Hansen 7-1 plus Opi nail envy bubble bath.. fabulous

[@laurenbeckerle7977]

Omg!! Me too! I was diagnosed in 2014. I'm doing a lot better on armour thyroid. I don't have the peeling like you describe, I'd call it patchy peeling. Those jamberry things, damaged my nails...no matter how gently I'd remove them. I have noticed the hair/skin/nails issue has improved on the NDT thyroid meds. I was such a mess on levothyroxine. Hope you are feeling more energetic!

[@soggycardboard1393]

This will really help my nails! I was obsessed with nail art and nail care but I haven't had any time to continue. Unfortunately my nails have gotten into really bad shape eg. Extreme peeling, brittle, uneven lengths, dry, over grown cuticles, hangnails etc. My nails grow quite fast which is a blessing and also a curse because it means the peeling of my nails just keeps occurring. I'm looking for some solutions and this is the second time someone has suggested biotin. I'll give it a try 😀

[@JessikaTPQ]

Your nails have never looked better! They're absolutely gorgeous!

[@gray_7]

I love Formula 2, glass files and Seche Vite :) Those are my top 3 tips

[@dubdi6985]

Agreed..... I love my glass files & SV!

[@pinkpolly88]

Love seeing how other people care for their nails. As well as biotin, I take Horse Tail Grass capsules - the combination of both has made a massive difference to my nails. Also, when I'm oiling my cuticles after the manicure, I put the oil all over my top coat - it really seems to speed up drying.

[@conyeah]

Yep...I'm a lumberjack too :) For strengthener, my ride or die is Perfect Formula pink gel coat. It's amazing for peeling/spliting.

[@christinesilvey9665]

Thank You so much for talking about Hypothyroidism and Hashimoto's. Last week I found out that I have Hashimoto's and that my right thyroid had cancer. I had 3 Biopsies done and not one showed it. I'm glad to know that the reason why my hair and nails are so bad is because the Hashimoto's. I have to now go back in and get my left side taken out. I have been using Not my mommas hair care shampoo and conditioner and my hair has grown a lot with the biotin also. Thanks again for shairing.

[@dawna4185]

....i hope you are doing well and everything turns out positive for you....take care and i wish you well xoxo

[@tiffinyboulet8694]

My nails are flat and I wish that they had more of a curve-I think that the curve makes them stronger. Oh well, guess it’s like curly or straight hair-we want what we don’t have! Why do folks have a problem with Seche Vite? I love it! (I just got their gel-like top coat and it’s AMAZING!!

[@jennw6809]

In theory, biotin should not work that fast since it takes 6 months for the nail to grow from cuticle to free edge. On the other hand the nail keeps hydrated from the skin underneath it (as you point out in your tip to drink water) so maybe there is something about biotin that affects the moisture from your body that's keeping the nail hydrated? As far as your thumb, it sounds like you injured the nail growth plate, so it's now growing in injured.

[@elainetamburello833]

[@dubdi6985]

Ugh, I HAAAAAAAAAAAAATE YOU! You’re nails are STUNNING!!!!!! 😍 I’m going to try all these tips

[@phylliso1364]

My mom had that exact problem with her thumb. I'm gonna get her that treatment. Thanks for the info!!

[@paulineanne2369]

Great tip for vertical split nail been trying to fix thumb for five years have to try Nailtiques 2 plus just recently I've not been putting anything on nails for 2 months and split has been growing out but thinking it will come back going to give 2 plus a try.

[@ShannonCoppers]

I'm confused. Who is putting thumbs down for this video? anyways thanks for the tips. hope your thumb heals all the way

[@twilightlark1]

Shannon Coppersmith i think its the way she files her nails. I like the video.

[@ShannonCoppers]

lol I posted this before I saw that part. Then I'm like ohhhh haha 😝😝😜

[@UnearthedPerspective]

Love your recommendations! I use to buff my nails to get the ridges smooth but then someone told me that the highest part of the ridge is actually where your nail is suppose to be at. The intentions (lower part) is the problem so when we buff the actual ridge down it makes the problem worse. I don’t know if that made any sense but there it is lol.

[@robynmcconnell8624]

Fantastic video! You hit on a lot of questions I was having. You will be my go to nail girl! Well done!!!!!!!👍🏻

[@karengant2555]

Love your energy! Great tips for nail care!

[@peejaybrown1483]

FINALLY! Someone who includes water consumption in a nail care video! Also surprised I never hear anyone mention how important water is for your hair & skin! Drink water peeps!! 😄

[@rhondalove1047]

Brilliant tutorial. I used Formula 2 and then after growth Formula 1 by Nailtiques. I've been using the Biotin gel caps as a cuticle oil as well. Great suggestions, thanks.

[@ShadowsEcho1990]

Omg I LOVE Nailtiques Formula 2 Plus! It SAVED my peeling brittle nails and finally put them on the track to being beautiful long and healthy! Literally liquid gold in my opinion! Edit: I use Orly Bonder too when I'm not using Nailtiques! AND the Sally Hansen Instadry topcoat! 😆

[@kathyforgues6994]

I always enjoy your videos! I love that formula 2, it has helped a lot.

[@RavensSpecialHeart]

Oh my gosh...you're so fun! 😄❤ thanks for sharing your talent 😊

[@brendaperez8581]

Hello. I was told by a nail technician not to use nail polish after you have used the Envy treatment. In other words, do not use as a base coat but as a nail treatment for problem nails. What do you think? Love your videos and have it saved!

[@ModJule]

You seem like you'd be a really cool/fun teacher!

[@HalloweenQueen2024]

I went with nail aid from Walmart the biotin ultimate strength one it stops peeling and with weak brittle nails as well that split and crack and I’ve seen a change in my nails almost immediately u should give it a try I stopped using opi all together cause they would give me severe rashes to the point where my fingers would get splits in the cracks of my fingers

[@emmakenyon1967]

I was about to say, this is new because I've been needing a good video like this, thanks!

[@angiesphalanges1960]

Thank you for the great information. I also have Hashimoto's so this was very helpful. Please tell me where you got your earrings. I just love them!

[@br0mbie]

Gigi Gewgaw - hello! I also have hashimotos. I encourage you to look up Dr Izabella Wentz.

[@love4polishzama455]

I've never had a splitting problem with my nails, until about a month ago that I attempted to file my nails. my thumb nail split almost half down, with a few days, this was painful and I was worried. I have decided to never file them down and continue with a nail clipper. I actually think that the slipping was because of the back and forth motion that people say you are not supposed to do when filling your nails.

[@rachelcorinne3131]

I love nail care videos it is so fun to see what other people do! You should try out the ShiNail nail buffer you can get it on Amazon and it has been a total game changer for me they are the best buffers and files ever! Seriously the best buffer and file I have ever used!

[@strawberrywatermelon900]

ever thought about using hk girl by glisten and glow? It's kinda like seche vite but without the shrinkidge and it doesn't get all goopy halfway down. Best of all its only like 6 or 7 dollars on their website. 💕

[@cheshirekat32]

so I was the same way as you with the breaking and stuff, and my doctor saw the same thing about thyroid (the word you mentioned) that I could possibly have that (or it could be from another medicine that I was taking.) and she also gave me vitamin D (prescribed) because I was also so low on that vitamin.... it helped my nails grow like crazy (then my nails kept breaking every now and then.

[@gracem7165]

I LOVE your energy! As soon as the video started I knew I had to subscribe! I'm in the same boat as you, PEELING NAILS SUCK! So frustrating as I can't grow them *sigh* haha. I'll try your tips and see how I get on. Thanks!!

[@butterflykisses-ritagather126]

Love your video and you are just so bubbly! Absolutely adorable! And so much fun watching you! Be blessed Kindest regards Rita G P.s. Nails are jewels, not tools LOL I also use Revlon Matt Top Coat under my Insti Dry Top Coat and it makes my nails last even longer! It is as if it helps to smooth out bumps before i put my final top coat on....

[@celenameg]

I never would have thought to use chapstick on my cuticles. That's such a great idea!

[@Pink-mandarina]

very interesting video with your wonderful energy!

[@julianamari4374]

I love your energy!!!😍💕💕

[@susanharrisonjohnson7816]

Thanks for the lip balm tip .I shall try that as I'm sick of getting nail oil all over my handbag as whatever form of supposedly leak proof packaging it comes in it always ends up all over my bag 😵😵😵

[@bracita15]

My nails peel like crazy! It drives me NUTS! Thing is, I haven’t been consistent about applying cuticle oil or my Hard as Hoof Nail Strengthening Cream. Winter is brutal on my nails and cuticles. I had this video playing on my tablet while I organized some other nail materials and I kid you not....I’ve applied the cream and brushed in cuticle oil about 5 times and each time the cream and oil were absorbed by my thirsty nails and cuticles. I’m also trying to drink more water. Thank you for all the great tips, tricks and info. 💅🏼😃

[@jennymartinez418]

Such pretty nails!

[@stephaniemeadows6796]

Thanks for the lesson I have done the fake nails from Sally's but I'm starting with the acrylic one have everything but still would like to have my normal nails lol.

[@sabrinawilliams1389]

Hello Ms Bonitajunita. Enjoyed your video but??? What as the name of the glitter you used the Zoya dream impossible dream? It’s very pretty 🤩? I also am back to natural nails. Sooo much easier. I await your response. Keep going strong.

[@Melissanailzcliques]

thank you for sharing this! I'm a licensed nail tech, but I'm looking to get back into providing more manicures as a service. you touched upon all the product questions I had! I needed to find a good base coat mainly. I loved how you said don't use your nails as tools!!! lol I do it all the time even with acrylics it's awful...then you pushed your cuticles back with your nail. lol you are so relatable I know your channel with grow even larger! 💅😉💖💖💖💖

[@jennajackson6305]

A wonderland of nail polishes lol. Sooo cute😊

[@dawna4185]

...very informative.....going to try some of the suggestions right now! thanks so much xo

[@apopofjess9931]

Thank you so much for sharing this video! I have a terrible time with peeling no matter what I have tried. I will definitely look into all the things that you have recommended. My nails grow super fast as well. Have you tried Out the Door fast drying topcoat? That is the top coat I use and have had great success with it.

[@hannahw6561]

Love this, I have dysautonomia and have peeling nails. Ive been using a mixture of Jamaican castor oil, vita E oil and garlic oil (from capsules) and its got my nails growing like cray. They are still peeling but significantly less. Castor oil isnt the best for you, so i plan to switch to coconut oil once this batch is finished (both are high protein oils ^^) Your video was very informative and I appreciated it very much from one health-challenged lady to another 😉😆

[@michellegarcia958]

Hannah Yep : How are your nails now that you changed oils? Which way do you like better? Thinking about using garlic, and Vita E

[@karenm9305]

great tips. thanks for sharing!

[@loriethayermorse162]

Great video! How much Biotin do you take?

[@pishnguyen5329]

Such a great video, as always! I loved seeing all of your tricks and tips. I never thought of using lip balm as a cuticle moisturizer, but it totally makes sense. I keep a stick of the Burt's Bees lip balm to use on my eczema. It's the only moisturizer that even comes close to keeping it at bay! This is probably a stupid question, but here goes ... On the nails where you use a treatment, do you use that treatment as your base coat? Or do you put the treatment and then base coat on top? I thought you were using the treatment as a base coat in your video, but I just wanted to double-check. Your nails are looking so great! I love the length you have now, and they are a super pretty shape.

[@kayleighessex6474]

Avon 5 in 1 is brilliant also!

[@ummmjen]

love that mani.. and your new glasses! 👓🐝

[@annelissa16]

I really like your earrings. Where did you get them?

[@monagurl1973]

Thanks

[@youngrapunzel5272]

omfg I've been having major crazy peeling and chipping and splitting and i haven't been taking my biotin! I made some biotin infused cuticle oil lolol (just squeezed a few capsules into some cuticle oil. it separates so you have to shake it) and it really works but I haven't been using that either. thank you for reminding me maybe my nails will get better. also GURL my mind is blown that you file away your c curve. my nails are literally flat and i HATE IT. I'm dying for some c curve!! it curves more as they get longer but I can't get them long because of this damn peeling

[@charneknight544]

I swear I love that chapstick hack. Idk why I never thought of that 🥰

[@LaurasSparkle]

I hate when I get my nails done the file my nail sooooooooo much that when they come off my actual nail nail starts to spit . And it just takes forever to get them back in good shape to me it's not worth it.

[@heavymetaljess_]

OMG GIRL!!!!!!!! I went out and bought your recommended top coat and base and my life is changed forever!!!

[@dianalaura3789]

I have hypothyroidism as well....so that's why my nails have been peeling when they really didn't peel before. BTW have you tried the Orly strengthener that prevents peels? I've been using that as my base and top coat and I like it so far.

[@jpeterson2150]

wonderful info! Off to do my nails 💅

[@jennw6809]

Oh PS I really highly recommend you try a crystal file? Metal files really tear at the nail. Do get a high quality Czech glass one though. Or, try good professional files that aren't metal. BTW, I find it hilarious that you have THAT much polish -- and have only ever tried 2 topcoats?? I love Superchic.

[@monagurl1973]

Thank you

[@onepolishedprincess3949]

I’ve heard different ppl talk about biotin, but there seems to be a wide dose range in the brands. How much is in the one you use?

[@skylar_d06]

My nails grow so fast and crack and peel even faster, it’s so annoying! I hope these tips work for me :)

[@jobelle5470]

[@brittanymays6278]

what brush do you use to do your clean up?:-):-) great video

[@KeeleyIero]

Brittany Mays the elf essential line concealer brush is AMAZING for clean up!

[@brittanymays6278]

O great thanks so much

[@PTAddision]

hahahaha - I soo thought I was the only human who use chap stick for my nails!! It's so slim accessible & fits perfectly Everywhere : pocket -clutch -bag, I figure it hydrates my lips, it'll help my extra dry cuticles!!

[@FoxieShay]

I have Hypothyroidism, and as soon as I started my meds holy crap! it helped a lot. but my nails still don't grow ;; just a little bit.

[@FoxieShay]

In just four months may nails look so much better. They are super strong but they peel a little bit, but they are so much better.

[@polishpositive1879]

What kind of issues are there with Seche Vite? Never heard that and personally I LOVE it!

[@cynthiabrew-stitchinginthe4125]

Here are a few: Gets thick toward the end - although I always use mine up quickly so not an issue for me as much, has ingredients that are toxic - just be careful and don't let it get on your skin - I never use it on my little girl when we do manicures for her. those are just the ones I'm aware of - hope it helps.

[@xintheshower]

ive neve tried it but i heard it shrinks your polish when you apply it

[@cynthiabrew-stitchinginthe4125]

i'm on my third bottle and haven't noticed that at all. May be that I'm not super picky, though. It makes my stay-at-home, mom-to-four, dish-scrubbing, hard-working, painted nails last longer than anything I've tried over the past 20 years. just sayin' lol.

[@polishpositive1879]

Wow, I never knew that, but I'm smittin ;) I love how I can apply it to my wet nails and it doesn't streak. It dries amazingly quick and just like you, I like that the thicker substance makes my mani's last forever!

[@tinkerbellys]

I am the 1,000th like💕 and I also have hashimotos so I’m happy to hear I’m not alone

[@kavin3153]

Btw i like the way you speak!

[@Tatchudorf]

Thank you so much for such an informative video - I've watched other videos that were like 3/4 consisting of terrible and useless jokes which didn't interest or help me at all. You on the other hand, stuck to the topic. Thanks a lot - now I'm gonna get some water...

[@joannavargas9141]

Add taking Kelp pills for thyroid. I had the same issue with my nails. My nails were great but They stopped growing and peeling. Was told about thyroid and after my 2nd to 3rd bottle of kelp pills I noticed a huge difference in my nails. No longer peel and can keep great length. 👍

[@lilianaszpura]

Im trying to get my nails to stop peeling but they won't stop help me please

[@mariwillalwaysgivethanks]

Tu nails es mi nails. Lol. My two cents...use a crystal file for shaping. It's like b-u-t-t-e-r. It leaves your nail edge smooth like a baby's tush.

[@carmenmartin8043]

Sawing back and forth contributes to peeling and slitting of the nail.

[@sunflowermoon413]

Bioton didn't work for me:(???

[@ginamiller6754]

Vaseline doesn’t hydrate, but does prevent moisture loss & seals in moisture. One more tip, use those ugly rubber gloves. It makes a huge difference & is worth those extra seconds to put them on! 😉

[@motherendurance]

Thank you so much! :-)

[@batgirlp5561]

1st tip at 2:50.

[@shannonm.4087]

my thyroid is crazy too!!

[@mamameany9]

vaseline isn't a moisturizer... it's an occlusive, so it can seal in moisture.
