Dual Forms & Polygel for BITTEN NAILS - Will it work? Anna Nails Transformation

[@janefiander6356]

Anna’s natural nails are looking great. She’s doing a fantastic job looking after them! And I love the nail art 😊💖

[@marielanders1218]

I love watching Anna getting her nails done. She always has great progress with you! Love the design! Thank you Anna and Anastasia for sharing these videos. ♥️

[@genamatthews9544]

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the hybrid gel nails on Anna's hands!!!!! They made her fingers look so slim, elegant and long! Absolutely gorgeous! But I think I like the tiger stripes better because of her skin tone.

[@traceyevans215]

These are both great designs. When I do dual forms I actually use the paper forms first to keep the polygel off the skin and from going under the free edge (when there is one). I found it saves time filing and keeps the polygel in place better. I love that you’re trying these on Anna I can’t wait to see the results. I’m a very bad nail biter and cuticle picker. The only way I can stop is by keeping extensions on. I use full cover nails on myself all the time. 3 years now and I never have lifting and my natural nails could be much longer now but I keep them short under the full cover nails to help prevent my picking from underneath. Tell Anna she’s doing great!!!

[@muse3783]

Anna is doing a great job keeping up her nails and cuticles . I love what you chose to do today! Purple is my favorite color , but I am really impressed with the Tiger stripes! Thank you for sharing !

[@veganeverydayy]

Omg, Anna's nails looks so much better than they did in the beginning. I think Anna is my favorit person that you do nails on. Great job Anastasia :D

[@Sam-ml8wv]

so how the Anna's own nails gona be, if Anna take off the Arcle nails?

[@patricenailedit]

Anna has came such a long way! I'm glad she was able to get some nail art. I think both hands turned out nicely 😍 I'm excited to see how both hands hold up for her!

[@Megan-cd6sh]

I hope Anna knows how many of us are cheering her on! Beautiful work as always, Anastasia. You two make a great team! Breaking a habit can be very difficult. Oftentimes it feels impossible! I have broken a few very bad habits myself. There are ups and downs, but once you get to the other side it feels amazing.

[@Addicted2Yarn1]

It's so interesting to see how much Anna's nail beds have extended since she's been coming to you. In the beginning videos they were like little tiny rectangles on her fingertips, now they are almost doubled in length! Beautiful work yet again and we'll done Anna for cutting down on the biting 💜💜💜

[@lexzie1]

I'm early! You inspire me! I always try to do manicures on my grandma because she's the only one that would let me because I'm a kid and they think I'm uneducated in nails, but no I watch you and I learn alot.

[@crissy1764]

Anna you are going all out! Your natural nails look amazing! Both designs are stunning! You are simply the best Anastasia, cannot wait for follow up video ❤️🙌🏽

[@Nails_By_Kimberlee]

Anna had a free edge on her natural nails? That's awesome! You're making progress, Anna! Good job! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Can't wait to see the 2 week follow up. It will be interesting to see which nails last longer.

[@taniaphillips3124]

I love both sets, I love the longer set but I think the tiger 🐅 art is my favourite ❤ Well done on the cuticle care Anna, they're looking really good, good luck with the longer nails!

[@sugarshoes78]

Omg I love the tiger design!! So cute . Anna is like all of our favourite client .. thank her so much for sharing her nail journey with us 💕 learn so much from her videos!! And so brave to try something new!! Can’t wait to see in 2 weeks!

[@ca2269]

Finally a tutorial / video covering real life type of nails. How you got the skin on nicely cleaned up is amazing. I've never seen that drill bit, especially how she's not bleeding. I need to see more.

[@jennyprorock]

I really like the poly gel nails on her more. Great job on both sides. Both designs are cool but the purple print is my favorite of the two.. your tiger stripes are really good btw.

[@jamiebeasley22]

I agree with Anna, I love the purple hand. I especially like the nails with the different purple tones. Great job!

[@autumn7ful]

Oh Anna’s nails are beautiful and her natural nails look really great right now love the colour love the design. So pretty

[@eliselaughlin1886]

I love both hands. I can’t wait for the follow up to the poly gel. Great job!!!!!!

[@brittney3165]

congratulations to Anna for how well her nails look now! I'm also a nail-biter/skin-picker so i get how difficult it is to just...leave your fingers alone haha. Even though the extensions are too long for her to be practical (when you first removed the forms) that length looks very good on her from my perspective. Congratulations to you as well for helping her grow her nails out. Victory all around!

[@natashadiamond5211]

Such fun nail art! Congratulations to Anna for working so hard on her nails. Well done! 🥰

[@julesswa6022]

I love that you put Anna's name in the title because I've been watching all the Videos with her and loving her progress! Your work os amazing!

[@skyefirenails]

I can't wait to see which one works better for her! I love watching videos of Anna's nail journey!

[@BAR55825]

Wow, you do AWESOME work! I couldn’t even tell Anna had bitten nails after you got through….I also bite my nails and soooo wish I could come to you….Anna’s nails look AMAZING!!! I love the dual form look too! It seems to give Anna a more natural look, not that the Poly gel didn’t, the dual form just gave a more rounded curve on the nail bed. Thank you for showing us nail biters, there are nail artists such as yourself out there who can make our bitten nails look amazing!!!

[@lindseybotelho]

She's done a great job! Her nails look so much better

[@amy-clarefidgett6505]

Both arts are wonderful 💖 ❤ though that purple cow print is *chefs kiss*

[@terrymatuozzi1504]

Wow Anna's nails are looking great. Her cuticles and surrounding fingers are healing nicely. Great job. I also liked the purple nailart.🙂

[@sarahdossor296]

Looking Good! What progress, I like the art on the acrillic hand the best I think it's the colour that appeals to me. I can imagine Anna being delighted, with the results.

[@NailsofNorway]

The nails turned out great as always 👌 🤩 I so badly want to love dual forms but I always find it too be a lot more work than just quick and easy. I can not stand having products touching my long hyponychiums, so regular forms is always my preferred method😉 Even though I have bought every different dual forms out there😅🙈 Thank you so much for sharing Anastasia💕

[@jeanafoster2315]

Omgosh!!!! So cute.... Love both designs they are each unique and beautiful.....

[@rachelmm05]

I generally love all things purple but I have to say the peach color with the tiger stripes was absolutely beautiful. Tfs🙂

[@aggelikisirma3608]

Both hands' nailart look beautiful, I can't choose and looking forward for the next date to see how they last... Thank you both Anna and you Anastasia for sharing 🌟 warmest regards from Athens Greece!

[@zey5394]

Both hands look amazing ✨ Can’t wait to see how they’re gonna look in 2 weeks!

[@chicasexii07]

Omg! I love the tiger stripe her nails look so much better than when she started!!

[@ladyarcher172]

WOW! Talk about a transformation. Definitely have to have a follow up to see how she goes, it's like reading a what happened next book. We're at a good chapter so you can't leave us in limbo 😋. You've done such an amazing job with Anna, talk about a confidence boost 💗

[@OmneyasWISH]

I love them both. I really hope the poly gel nails hold on. I love that length on her

[@cjinpa5713]

Way to go Ana! Can’t wait to see her back in two weeks and gets the results! 💅

[@EveHyland-in8jb9ti9y]

They look amazing, I must of missed this episode of "Annas nail journey" 😊💓👌

[@mochi.puffball6588]

I am so earlyy, the earliest I've been, I'm so happy

[@mayraheart8878]

Anna’s nails have come SUCH a long way! 😍😍😍

[@art_see_shan1849]

Yesssssss I loved them both Anna please go back in 2 weeks 😉

[@mickirosanails]

Looking forward to next appointment with Anna! 😊😊😊♥️

[@GlitterismyCRACK]

I’m going to say that the acrylic nails last better. Because of the acid primer (which I do use with hybrid gels) also acrylic is stronger and the nails are a shorter length. Beautiful set Anastasia! xox Luna 💅🏻

[@xxslb]

Your work on Anna is amazing!

[@yaybmo5155]

So cute! I like the tiger stripes best.

[@jetson10100]

So pretty, I love both sets.

[@monicavelazquez247]

WOW! Ana, it is amazing to see that you are able to new designs and lengths! ;)

[@janillebutler2739]

Wow her nails are looking so much better! I'm so glad u did this w dual forms. I had been curious about how they would do on her. I have a friend w nails very much like Anna's & was considering using dual forms on her this weekend,so this video came just in time! Your videos are always so informative & such a jot to watch. Thank you!😘

[@maryjflanagan1922]

Both hands actually look perfect! Watching other people with short, challenging nails is encouraging. I don’t bother my nails as much because I take anti anxiety meds. I only get gel polish on my natural nails. I don’t get them cut down to the same length because by the time they shape them, they’re shortened. The gel polish really seems to protect and grow them out more than acrylic or gel extensions enhancements. I absolutely hate nail glue on my nails. I’m glad I have my current nail tach because she’s respectful about my natural choices and takes her time to do the perfect prep work during my deluxe manicures and pedicures.

[@sadiepeterson1756]

Her nails have come such a long way! I think dual forms give such a great option too. They have even more shapes now; 4 more that I know of and I am sure They have too have four more. One that might fit her slightly tricky nail shape have a look through Alie again I just ordered 4 new shapes.

[@lindseybotelho]

I'm excited to see which she prefers after infill

[@whathandleUtalkabt]

Brave to attempt. 👌

[@Saitaina]

I am a nail biter who does my own extensions and duel forms are a BIIITTTCCHHH on them. So little nail, I ALWAYS end up getting it attached to the nail bed skin (the area above the bitten nail where a normal nail would still be attached). Which LOOKS normal but FEELS annoying. It's been ages since my nails were as short as Anna's (they're about a mm or two longer), but I feel her and her nail journey as it's been mine since 2018 as I teach myself how to do this stuff. I am so glad Anna has you to help her, she's doing loads better (and not making as many mistakes as I am, stupid e-file). Thank you for putting these videos up, even two years in, I am always learning new things from you and many others. Those duel formed nails were GORGEOUS, Mine take a bit to get to that point. 😜

[@michaellaclark1148]

Love both hands they are gorgeous

[@carolhatfield7952]

I have trouble using forms on my super short nails. You're one of the very few nail technicians on this channel that doesn't use a form at all to sculpt a nail off of a bitten nail. I think it's great. I wish I was that talented. so I have to use tips or press on or dual forms.

[@andramedatrozelle3377]

Dual forms for sure look fabulous!

[@soniagibbs3366]

Super interesting. I love the pink with tiger stripes nail art the most.

[@NanaNan1]

They look great.. Visiting the Erie Pa area it is very cold and my I’ve bitten my nails way down .. (not as bad as Anna’s) but my skin is dry and I have 2 small splits at the top of my finger. I’m going to give the deeper dual nail forms a shot before I resort to tips. Thanks for the video. The timing was perfect

[@cynthiasstylemua9822]

Hi Anastasia, could you add links for your Amazon favorites, like the e file bits on Amazon in the EU pls? I think the acrylic is going to last better than the polygel. I'm not a fan of the dual forms, maybe try using tips or regular forms with the polygel next time?Thanks so much.

[@lorainegreenhalgh5391]

The zebra/peach design is adorable

[@Christinewilder73]

Hi Anastasia Ana’s nail are looking so much better. Both hands are pretty. Poly gel does look really nice on her tiny fingers. Anastasia how are your hands doing with the winter rash? I know it is a struggle. Once I moved to a warmer climate I’m not suffering anymore with the cracked ,itchy painful, hands.

[@susiepihl5719]

Love the design

[@mellinsomnia1]

Love the Tiger design 💖

[@sarahkraft1992]

Love these! So excited to see how it turns out for her…..

[@Ananailschool]

Both hands are stunning 🤩

[@kayladulhanty3410]

I love this set! I can’t wait to see how they compare for wear time For her!

[@screamingmimi90]

Go Anna! Congratulations! 💅🏻👏🏻❤️ Warm wishes from Minnesota.💖❤️🥰

[@michellemanwaring2513]

I like the tiger art 😃.

[@jwinner6940]

Ana just the perfect client

[@Fleasi]

Thanks for the video! Can you also do more of your own hand? Im curious to know how you do cuticle care on yourself or if you have videos maybe make a playlist?

[@bergercookie]

I love the tiger nail art so pretty and stylish 🐅💕

[@sallygoddard4491]

I love them both but i too am liking the purple cow art more 😉

[@powderpuffgirl77]

Super adorable😍

[@susantasker6120]

You made her real nails look great!

[@molcol100]

I liked the poly gel hand more. I prefer the colour. Can’t wait to see how it holds up after two weeks in a professional kitchen!

[@hisso988]

Ohhhhhh😬 demasiado trabajo esas cutículas. 🥰🥰🥰

[@CherryBlossomNailArt]

Both look amazing 🥰

[@mdt6176]

Wonderful! ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️

[@PerfumedAndPolished]

Both hands came out really cute! 😍

[@melissaotero4506]

Polygel look beautiful

[@juliefizpatrick513]

I love both designs!👍🤗😊💕

[@savynails]

Question, why not use a nail form for a base under the acrylic? Doesn't contact with the skin past the free edge cause lifting and possibly an allergy to the acrylic?

[@yiolia]

I was wondering the same

[@houseofcreativity1]

I love your videos!!!! Please keep up the Awesome videos!!!! I just have to say I am so glad you made a video like this. My sister is a nail biter and it is so difficult to keep nails on her cause she keeps putting her nails in her mouth and she likes her nails the same length that your client likes. Plus my sister has flat nail beds. I have stuggled with Gell free form and I do find that Acid Primer works best to keep the nails on longer but it is still almost impossible to them to stay for any length of time. Thank you Thank you, Thank you!!!!! I will try the dual forms and see if that would work best. I look forward to the follow up with Anna.

[@xMourningStar]

Purple IS my fave colour.... but I LOVE tigers. So, tiger hand 😸

[@kireinakao]

Another great video! Do some people have thicker cuticles than others? I'm always astounded watching the dry manicure on Anna because there is so much debris, but when I do my nails or my mom's nails, we don't have that much cuticle tissue, so sometimes I wonder if I am doing enough cleaning.

[@marielanders1218]

Some people can have a lot of cuticle stuck on their nail bed/plate. There are some that doesn't have as much. When I do my nails it just depends on how long I wait to do them. If I wait a month before I do mine (my nails grow slow) I have a lot to clean. If I don't wait as long it doesn't take that long to clean up. Everyone's different. As long as you don't give a ring of fire or damage the natural nails when cleaning them up you're good. 🤗

[@NanaNan1]

Needed this … Thanks

[@donnaw246]

Anna's nails are looking better and better! Good for her! Where do you get your tiny detailer brush for your nail art?

[@DaAmethyst1]

Very nice! 👍 You do wonderful work.

[@nicholehough6933]

I do not bite my nails at all and never have for my whole life but my nail beds are super short, flat and nails grow upwards! Even going to the nail salon when there is communication barrier I can tell the tech is kinda stressing out not knowing what to do! It’s so frustrating because I want to have beautiful nails! I do not bite them but because of the way they grow they start to look really creepy at a certain length and I have to cut them! Salons cost me a fortune and I’ve spend thousands of dollars on gels dips lights forms extensions but I honestly have no training patience or knowledge for doing them myself 😢 I’m so happy for Anna!!

[@nicoletalarico2532]

Love the tiger stripes!!

[@cathywellman4859]

Love both styles tyfs

[@hisso988]

Menudo cambio 💯💖

[@mubiyna5839]

Love the tiger stripes! Very interested to see how the polygel nails last!

[@BrooklynHudson]

I hope the duel form gels work for her. They appear more natural than the acrylic; though, I like the look of acrylic as well, they can appear more boxy on shorter nails.

[@devotae]

BIG fan of story time with Anna

[@cherrycoke7328]

I think the acrylic hand looks much better. They look so natural and like they fit her so well. But honestly they both look great. ❤️

[@rushy876]

What is the best professional nail drill that you use?

[@Sam-ml8wv]

OMG！！！！you are the one detroy the nail with mechine! .thats why a lot people when they taking of the nail art,their nails are so weak!.

[@DeeSanders09]

Thank you so much I tried it your way and it works omg thank you so much ❤️

[@Gen_X_Jenn77]

I 100% disagree with you that there is "not much you can do" on short nails, as far as nail art. I have several clients with nails that just come over their free edge, and we do lots of different kinds of nail art: foils, stamping, decals, painting, and lots of other things. Short nails does not mean you cannot do lots of fun nail art
