Do you have tips for white lines/spots on toe nails? I was trying to figure out what causes them and what to do. I have healed my fingernails and my toe nails have been dry after using undiluted tea tree oil. it was a terrible mistake and after a year still seeing brittle nails. I have been using kerasal n now leaving unpolished with hopes it will grow out

So refreshing to see a real nail manicure and realising that nails are not perfect - love your channel 😊x

[@pattitag9471]

I've learned more from your videos that from any manicurist.

[@rlnstn9300]

I used to be SO rough on my cuticles when doing my manicures on my natural nails. Especially my thumbs. I would end up with severely wavy thumbnails. I would also use a cuticle nipper and cut the skin barrier (can't think of the appropriate name for it) around the nail bed. Then wonder why I struggled so much to have normal healthy nails!! So I have learned to use white cross cuticle remover when doing my manicures and GENTLY pushing back my cuticles with my purple Tweezerman cuticle tool. Keeping my nails moisturized with good oil and at night I use the Kerasal Intensive Foot Repair ointment for the overgrown skin around my nailbed and sides of my nails. And practicing PATIENCE (hard for me to do as I wanted immediate results!) to work towards healthy nails again. Just want to sincerely thank you for your guidance!! I watch your videos on KZbin as I'm getting ready in the morning for work 😊👍🏼

Repetition is the key to knowledge. I like it when you repet. Then we will remember!

[@NebulaWILNIL]

Buy the nail kit!!!! I am obsessed 1. File 2. Gently push nail fold to expose cuticle 3. Blue cross cuticle remover + leave on for 2 mins (one hand at a time) 4. Rinse off with water (spray bottle) and dry with clean towel, leaving some moisture 5. Scrape off cuticle with sharp edge tool (can also use to gently clean under nail later) 6. Buff free edge of nail with 280/280 7. Apply nail salve to nail beds and cuticles This was for me but hope it helps!

[@TheReelDealFilmReviews]

That salve looks really nice. I used to file my nails daily and I realise that could be detrimental. Now I file them maybe every four days to weekly. They are a stronger already. Thanks for these videos 😊

[@TheSalonLife]

You mean you used to shorten your nails daily? And now you shorten them very few days to weekly? Shortening the nails will not make them stronger or weaker.

[@TheReelDealFilmReviews]

@@TheSalonLife Yes they were very short, it was a matter of making sure they were even. I read that filing nails daily can weaken them. It was silly I realise to file them daily. I do my nails I would say every four days or weekly, I don’t bite my nails and try to apply as much serums and oils as possible to my nails. As you said it won’t have weakened them, that makes me feel better.

[@OrangeMekuri]

Anna, I have learnt so much from you. For the longest time i hated how my hands looked. My nails were always broad and flat, which made my already plumpy fingers more fat. I started filing my nails like you showed in one of your videos and over time i was able to give them an almond shape. Now i regularly take care of my hands. My nails are healthy and less brittle. I have never been this happier with them. All thanks to you. Now i do my own mani and pedi because it's self love and allow me to relax and feel good about myself. My hands and feet feel beautiful now. Also my husband asked if my fingers are getting leaner. It's because of the almond nails wink wink 😅

[@i4cahappyfuture]

Thank you! I love seeing what other people are doing.

[@lisabailes1065]

My cuticles are especially sticky but I am using Blue Cross every week and trying to learn the best technique with the pushy. I’ve seen a little improvement but it really does take time and perseverance.

[@TheSalonLife]

Sometimes the cuticle is stuck and there is more of it (like in the case of my middle finger) and sometimes the skin fold is stuck and stretched. If you are talking about the skin fold then gently nudge it every couple of days and use exfoliant like Kerasal for that skin to become elastic and bounce back.

[@ramyamurali87]

Best video.. I have started my kerasal journey after following you, a great advice ever for weak flaky nails. Still I have a long way to go as I was a heavy nail biter.

[@cherylb6755]

I remember you mentioning you lived in Vancouver, BC previously. Am I wrong? Either way, I thought perhaps you might know a nail technician you can recommend who works in the Vancouver area. I have to get gel manicures regularly to avoid picking at the skin around my nails and nibbling on my nails too on occasion. I have tried many salons but haven’t been able to find one that does it with the care and diligence I’m looking for. I always end up with nail damage that requires me to take long breaks, which restarts my nail progress. I would love to have someone who is aware of your work or someone who has a gentle approach at the very least. Thank you for all the information you share once again!

I try and do my own manicure but after a few days l have raggedy skin working its way down my finger from the base of my nail. Could l be cutting the live skin and not the cuticle? Any help much appreciated. 💋

[@TheSalonLife]

Well, cuticle cannot be cut really. If you are cutting something then it’s most likely skin fold. Skin fold does not really “grows”. It does not crawl down the nail. If the skin is stuck to the nail the nail will pull it down or if the skin has been cut it forms almost like a scab because it’s trying to heal. Check out these videos where I explain more about the skin fold and cuticle and what to do in this case. How to start taking care of your nails kzbin.info/aero/PLnP7qaKYlbX5R549SguUizXDGmslD0C4d

[@TheSalonLife]

Skin fold doesn't grow. It can stretched if it's stuck to the nail plate. It takes time for the skin to heal if you've been cutting it for a while. Nudge it gently every few days and use an exfoliant every night. Here is a video I make where I discuss it kzbin.info/aero/PLnP7qaKYlbX5R549SguUizXDGmslD0C4d

[@Amber-se7qq]

Hello Anna! I found your channel back in March and have been faithfully following your advice for manicures and learning a lot along the way. I think the most important detail I’ve picked up is learning what the cuticle actually is and loving that you are an advocate for gentle but effective natural nail care that doesn’t involve clipping that area of the skin. Pushing the skin back gives my nails that clean look without risking injury (I was always too scared to clip that area and never did.) Following your advice and techniques has helped me gain a new sense of self care that I didn’t have before. I actually look forward to caring for my nails! I do manicures every Sunday and use oil after washing hands which helped a lot with hang nails. (I wish I could find an Anna for other aspects of my life, lol.) 🫧 💅

Thank you for sharing. Your manicure looks amazing! Watching this video really confirmed that I have been doing it correcty for many years. Down to cleaning the skin cells under the nails after. Question: how can I get to order some files and cuticle pushers from you? Is it fine to do a manicure soaking my hands in a mild soapy warm water to soften my cutices and then use a cuticle pusher instead of a cuticle remover solution?, or can I choose to use those electric nail drills (this is the method Ive done for years without lifting up my skin folds, it pushes it back along with ridding of my cuticles) after soaking my hands in warm soapy water? This last question is the method I have been doing for 10 years myself and never had a problem. Blessings~

[@AllThingssIntentional]

Hi. I wanted to get your advice for Doing gel manicure at home? Do you recommend that I use a drill to buff my nails or a nail buffer so that the polish will adhere better to the nail? And if so what kind of drill should I use or nail buffer?

I do not recommend doing gel polish manicures without specific training. The training should cover proper prep and safety measures that you don't get allergic to the gels We are going to be talking about this with my guest Robert Giblett today during our KZbin live kzbin.infoxCagzUfT3Wc?feature=share

Dear Anna, I’m so excited for you and I’m going to purchase your products. Maybe you’re going to launch your own nail polish one day 🤩💓. Would you consider testing nail polish from the brands GITTI and KURE BAZAAR? A nude pink for the office and a fancy red? I hope it’s not rude from me to ask this but I’m desperately searching for a „healthy“ nail polish that lasts for five days with no chipping, since I have no time for manicure on weekdays due to work. These two brands I would be able to order online and I like their colors. Love your work ❤️

[@TheSalonLife]

Thank you so much for your message, to be honest there are no "healthy" or "unhealthy" nail polishes but they are brands that use deceptive marketing using scare tactics to sell their products. I can't stand that to be honest. All polishes are "healthy" when used as properly. On healthy nails any nail polish should stay 5 days. You need a good foundation, not a stronger polish. By the way, sometimes actually opposite is true. Some companies use ingredients and formulas that have stronger bond to the nail which can actually cause some surface damage to the nail. The free from needs to stop though. They are selling fat free water. What's next? Maybe I should come up with low calorie polish? lol schoonscientific.com/2015/fear-mongers-beware/

Is it too much to remove the cuticle at every manicure ( once a week ) or is every other week better ? 💕

[@TheSalonLife]

It depends... if you are polishing your nails after I would remove the cuticle. If you are not polishing then I would not worry unless it bothers you. Every week the nail grows 1mm, so you will have 1 mm cuticle on the nail plate. If you care for your nails, use exfoliant like Kerasal and oil then there won't be much cuticle because it will slough off naturally.

I used to write A LOT in my student years, and still prefer actual paper and pen (old school) lol anything I've tried to get rid of it was in vain so I'm just rubbing it off with the most abrasive file once a week cuz mine grows and hurts =( would you have any advice?

I don't really have a callus. It's the bone that is thicker in that area. The skin is pretty normal. Filing it especially with abrasive surfaces only hurts the skin and creates more callus. I suggest using Kerasal at night: Kerasal (Amazon) amzn.to/3dy31F7 Kerasal UK iherb.co/TDPaEMyg Kerasal (iHerb) bit.ly/3XCWKvF

@@TheSalonLife That is what sets your channel apart: you always give an ear to your followers unfortunately this product is not currently available in greece.. Urea is KING ツ I'm awaiting another order for a repair cream with 2% sal/c acid and 60% urea (foot) and 42% (hand) -read some pretty awesome reviews. Is this concentration way too high?
