Badly Damaged Nails Transformation with Acrylic

[@churros4613]

I wish every nail tech could be as caring as you, when I watch your fixing damaged nails videos you clearly take a lot of care in your work

[@Nailcou]

Thank you so much

[@lovelyyluciddreams4352]

I know!! Every time I go in they say “oh no! Your mail too short and broken I won’t help”

[@aimeekrieg9932]

@@lovelyyluciddreams4352 seems as though some nail shops will do it no matter though... and their prices went up. At this point, I'll do my own...its more sanitary and safe/ clean

[@ksway8471]

I wish we could get an update on how the client's nails are doing

[@BrianWanes]

I don't even wear nail polish, let alone acrylic nails, but this is absolutely FASCINATING for some reason!

[@marzipanmango]

Be careful, I went down this rabbit hole too a few months ago and now I'm doing full sets of acrylic nails on myself :P You might end up begging your family members to let you do their nails

[@ashleywilson9205]

I love these nails

[@tazandalsoalastname]

​@@marzipanmangohahaha I literally just got done doing my mum's nails for this exact reason. Luckily she's a super willing volunteer, yay!

[@chaqillenikita748]

FANTASTIC nails, Anastasia! I think that being able to see the moons of her nails through the translucent acrylic makes a big difference - they look very “naturally” beautiful 👍🏼. I’m not surprised she was so happy with them 😊.

[@innurse94]

WOWWWWW!!!!! I can just bet you made her day or week or even month with giving her this gorgeous gift! You always have videos where you help people out and I love that about you. You are an excellent teacher. I have learned so much from your channel. Thanks so much for all you do. These are so dainty and inspiring ❤ much love to you 😊

[@janeayers6628]

Those are so lovely. She must have felt like a princess walking out with her new nails! Great work with lots of care 💗

[@starrynyte158]

I bit my nails for many years and always wished I could find a nail tech who could help me like you did with this woman. I know she had a different issues, but her nails looked familiar to my bitten nails. Thankfully I was able to stop biting them and they now grow pretty nicely

[@NikkiBlack]

You have an amazing attention to detail and I love how professional your consults are. I appreciate you tending to her needs and making sure you put the best care into her nail circumstances. You are so awesome! I enjoy watching and I am grateful for all your advice.

[@Jadeyeager]

Oh my, her poor fingers look so painful!!😔 You do an amazing job bringing such abused nails back in good condition until they heal. Thank you for such kindness!! I love your videos!!♥️

[@nichenailss]

Gawd your transformations are quite astonishing. I loveee watching your detailed work always. B/c I to pride myself in doing this type of work reconstructing a nail takes great talent. I love fixing nail issues, and making the client walk away feeling way more confident than when walked in. When I can’t figure out something, your always a reliable source, and most likely have the answer I need!😊

[@oi812NM]

These are so beautiful, especially after the mess she came in with. Poor lady. That had to have been painful, but you do such beautiful work! Awesome!

[@katisclean]

That breaks my heart she had to go through so much pain. But I'm happy she found you 💙

[@barbiejake4801]

You are very thorough Anastasia I love how you take your time to show how this is not impossible to fix, I had a client come in with nails that was so bad I’ve never seen anything like it and it’s not that I only like clean nails to work on I just realised it was a challenge it took me 2hrs to fix her hands 1hr to clean the skin and damage then 1hr to apply some nail forms to transform her nails, I didn’t want to apply tips I thought the paper nail forms were lighter with less filing & blending of a tip why I didn’t want to give her tips, that lady now takes care of her nails she has 3in nails now all her own with gel overlay and looks after her hands, it doesn’t take much to care for our hands I guess feeling down and out makes customers feel defeated why they don’t bother? Once they make up their minds to do better? All is not lost and change comes, thank you for sharing your amazing videos this is a true transformation here that you’ve done with this lady’s nails in the video awesome work✅✅✅👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽🥰🥰🥰

[@winkingowl1913]

I like how the natural nails show through near the cuticles! Very pretty!

[@ThePolishQueen]

Wow, this was super helpful and I'm so happy that she was able to find you to fix her issue ♥️♥️

[@Lilithd3mon]

My nails looked like that after my acrylics finally came off except mine had a green color to the nail bed. My nails were on fire after they did them at the salon. For like 5 days. I had to stop getting them done for months. Now I do them on my own and I have not had that problem since, thanks to your videos as well as naio nails, longhairprettynails, and nce.

[@michaelavalek2649]

Omg! I could watch your videos forever! I’m just watching how perfectly you shape the nail and keep control of your bead. The consistency of the liquid to powder ratio is perfect too! Something I’m working on myself (aspiring nail tech here☺️) is the ratios, mine tend to be too wet sometimes and also working on my nail prep, I feel like I have a problem over filing my nails too. Your videos have helped me so much on my journey. Thank you for all the amazing content your provide for us! ♥️

[@dmallen469]

I left you a comment 6 months or so ago about my very similar experience with polygel. The removal process ruined my nails as it was file off & even then it was very, very difficult. My nails are just now returning to normal after 6 months of growing out. I will never use polygel again due to difficulty in removing & the damage polygel did to my natural nails. I love your channel & your always expert advice! You are the best!♥️♥️♥️

[@crissysims4357]

Much better than Nail Career Education channel !!

What an amazing transformation, great work. I hope the client takes care and comes back to you when infill needs doing. The salon I used to go to NEVER did cuticle care before any type of service.....so weird to me. Have been binge watching your videos, you are so informative and have such a passion for your work and you actually care about your clients. Thank you for sharing your expertise 😘😘👏👏

[@taicraven5833]

[@gingerbiscuit4871]

This is so helpful. I have discovered the UV lamp is lifting my nails and they’re peeling off and leaving my nails paper thin. Seeing how to build a new free edge to build from is just what I needed thank you.

[@gingerbiscuit4871]

@@anitavarley1975 According to my doctor it’s because I am on Methotrexate which is a chemo drug. UV lamps should not be used by people on that medication. I always got a lot of pain from the lamp when my nails were cooking. Unfortunately I had to stop using it all together.

[@LatherScreamRinse]

Have you ever had nails that you couldn’t do enhancements in due to the damage? Honestly, being a beginner, I would have been terrified to even try to apply anything to her nails. In that case (beginner technician) what would you recommend for a client with extreme damage?

[@crystalnichols6994]

Thankyou for all of your videos!

[@BBB-rd2qi]

The turned out beautifully!! I love how you solved the issue. I was just getting ready to do a full set in myself so the timing is awesome! I really messed up my natural nails as I was doing a removal and didn’t finish the project before my kiddos need help. Ouch!

[@Flowerhead247]

Beautiful job! 🤩

[@thebet816]

Nailcou amazing job- question for someone taking care of their nails at home- is it safe to continuously apply overlay (polygel) to natural nails or should the gel be removed completely every once in a while-like every 2 months for the nails to breathe? I like my polygel because it is given me more strength. Just curious

[@Lavendersmooches]

Nails don't need to breathe. It is best to change the gel if you want to change the shape of your nails from almond/oval/stiletto to square. When you are ready to give your nails a break is really up to you. But if the nails start lifting, or if you are seeing damage please take them off and do a new set or just keep them natural.

[@lisafeldman1073]

Amazing transformation! Great job :)

[@stinkydo6786]

Sounds like she was allergic to the Poly Gel, which she wouldn’t know unless she used it which is quite common

[@KateandBree]

This has happened to me and I’ve had polyfil. It’s not an allergy, my nails were simply way overfiled so my nails could hold no product and it lifts from the cuticle. It’s extremely painful when it lifts.

[@alisontopley594]

[@autumn7ful]

Oh I really enjoy this video I love seeing how to fix damaged nails because I’ve been doing my own and every once in a while I have over filed and I find that putting gel over top has not been staying on so I think I’ll try the acrylic. I love you

[@Hiyorin871]

you probably need to work on prep work if gel doesn't stay on your nails I been doing my own gel nails cause I can't stand the acrylic smell it gives me severe headache, my gel nails stay atleast 2 months without lifting you also probably wanna look into better products .

[@msCandelicius]

I used to have the same problem for a long time and this is everything i do to fix the problem: 1) definitely try better products and if you wanna have acrylics on, try acid primer (it holds the acrylic better than non acid primer, and if the problem stops in the future you can back to non acid primer) 2) make sure you leave no shiny spots when you file the surface on the nail but specially in sidewalls, cuticle area and free edge 3) take your time to really clean the cuticle area. This is the most important step!! You gotta male sure there is absolutely no dead skin whatsoever because any minimum particle could cause lifting. You might consider switching to an e-file, they do a much better job. 4) remove the dust with pure alcohol or acetone instead of cleanser because some cleansers might contain a small amount of water and that causes lifting 5) apply dehydrator twice and primer (wait 10 seconds) on one nail, create the extension, THEN move on to prep the next nail and create the extension. This really helps if you have hyperhydrosis: some nails can get oily when you apply the dehydrator and primer on all 10 nails at the beginning of the process!! Take into account that the first few times you use fake nails your body could try to reject them, but if you have this problem more than 2 times it's not that. Also, hormonal problems cause lifting so if you have thyroid problems, are pregnant (in this case you can only use gel), have diabetes or any kind of hormonal disorder, your applications will not last that long I hope this helps 🌸

[@nailsofinterest]

Oh i used to have that issue only 2 nails it was part my prep, part my body but now I only use builder gel and it works fine I had to 1st stop using too much primer, after a while I added thinking "more the better".. nope 1 coat scrubbed in...but some swear by two. Everyone gave awesome tips here!! Only extra thing is I mix my own cleanser/ dehydrator mostly 99% alcohol with some 100% acetone no dyes, scents nothing. I "wash up" with 100% alcohol even before I even start Nails, fingers, under nails...helps stop oils etc from transferring by accident and keeps your nail stuff clean too.😉 no germs. Then I hand file, (scruff up nail surface, nothing crazy), dehydrate all then repeat per nail, (as I'm a bit oily. I can't see it...just can tell by how it lifted). Then light coat of primer ( I do use acid. Technically they both have acid, just various amounts, i found one that doesn't stink or burn) Then a bonder that requires to be cured, scrubbed in well... but only 1 coat. Then onto gel...or whatever system you prefer...try to keep all products from same system too it definitely helps too! Nailcou / Anastasia has an awesome webinar (video) still on this channel look for "no lift webinar ". No matter what product you use it will help so much! .. i have heard your wipes can be an issue too... make sure nothing else is on them also i skip washing with moisturizing soaps before I do my nails... I make sure they are totally dry before I ever start. Yep certain medical issues, those hormones, can wreak havoc too.. I've heard of many nail techs having to ask clients to go see their physician as they did allover could.... usually pregnant or another hormone issue. Not everyone has this.. but can. Also Anastasia teaches at Nails Pro Academy (also has a KZbin channel ). I hear her online classes are awesome I'm definitely joining one day!!! Been to about every free webinar. .. Sign up for the emails you'll learn loads there alone!! Plus info about upcoming ones and classes. Sometimes a free quick extra after a webinar or chance to win a full class!!! 😊 hope someone here has helped...just try one or two new tips n see if they help.. 💜💖💜

[@renampiersons128]

Nice i have never had nails before i am afraid

[@SmoothedEdges]

Is this safe? Wouldn't it damage the nail even more?

[@marzipanmango]

Where are you from? Your English is perfect!

[@anneke06]

Yep, I was experimenting with polygel & on second use/application, the polygel wouldn't cure properly & eventually began lifting in certain spots while bring attached to the nails. I really effed my left hand & the nails are so short, brittle & sometimes bleed.

[@gaylerostron7316]

These are so pretty i love them 😍

[@shovenaashovenaa6506]

Can I know where is your shop

[@etaylorw]

Idk if you’ll see this but I have sxc polygel on my nails now and they started lifting (to be expected as I used a protective polish on my natural nails before I build the poly up). Last night I filed down the cuticle area to become flush with the grown natural nail and applied the beetles base and matte top coat so I could work yesterday but now my left index finger is swollen and the nail plate is burning like it did in the lamp. How do I remove it safely?

[@Rinoo-]

my nails like this but little worse and i want to grow them but i cant cuz i eat my nails i try to stop but i couldn’t cuz some of my family are the same and IDK WHY IAM THE ONLY GIRL DO THIS :(
