I used to not like painting my nails because they were short and it would chip in like two days. But now that I use Holo Taco and have good technique, they last for almost 2 weeks and my nails are so long. I didn’t realize nail polish can protect your nails from breaking until Simply. It’s pretty much been an upward spiral of joy. 🥳

[@minagica]

I use Holo Taco too, but on the nails that are so flimsy that they fold: the polish literally cracks along the bend line and flakes off the tip of the nail. The rest of the polish is fine and long lasting, but a few of my nails are genuinely just hopeless

I just moved to a very humid country and it’s been such an adjustment. Painting my nails has been a nightmare, however, the dollar store sells nail air dryers that have been a life saver for me. At first it seemed silly but now it’s a part of the routine. Highly recommend having a little lamp at your side. It’s like a gel lamp without the light cancer 😂

[@kasualbeauty309]

I learned that the reason my nail polish was never drying was because I was not using a topcoat as soon as I started using a topcoat. My nails are dry like super fast.

Anna does a great job at not only explaining the anatomy of the nail, but offers up a variety of recommendations and solutions for various nail concerns.

Before watching this but obviously after seeing the title, I must say that my polish has ALWAYS chipped within days, no matter what base & top coats I've used. I've watched Cristina for years but haven't ever bought anything. After seeing Spirit Fingers, I decided to treat myself to it, the long lasting base & taco. I've had my polish on for just over a MONTH now without a single chip! My nails still look like I just painted them!!

[@stephr7637]

"Look within, the problem is you" 😂😂😂 This is just a great PSA, I'd wear it on a sweatshirt.

I always have issues with the same exact nail every single time. My other nails will last 10-14 days no problem. But my index finger after 3 days just pops off the polish like I’m wearing a peel off base coat 😩 I’ve tried everything. Just accepting that my nail is a nudist and must respect it’s life choices

[@hannahc7950]

Okay. It turns out that even though I was doing everything right, EXCEPT not cleaning up when I flooded my cuticle, actually made a huge difference. I have gone 2 whole days without popping a single polish. Mother is right😅😅😅

[@jenrosejenrose7417]

Also, a cheap vortex mixer ($30-50, I use a vevor) is a HUGELY helpful investment if you have more than a few polishes and tend to let them sit between uses. Many polishes won't even need thinner if you use the vortex mixer, but it ALSO mixes the thinner into the polish faster and better, and saves a lot of hand/arm strain. It pays for itself by saving polishes that would otherwise be unusable. Most will be usable in less than a minute, the worst one I did was a glitter that was just about solid and I just kept adding thinner and vortex mixing every time I did my nails for a few weeks and by the third week it was fluid again. Also, the vortex mixer significantly improves the payoff of magnetics by resuspending the heavy pigments. If you only have like five or ten polishes and tend to use them up, probably not needed. If you have more than 20 polishes and change it up a lot, the vortex mixer will save you. If you do a lot nail art and have hundreds of polishes, it's essential.

[@mini627765]

Which vortex mixer do you use? I’ve never heard of this but it makes so much sense!!

[@crystald3655]

You're lucky. I've done everything here and other places and my nail polish only lasts about 3 days max and start chipping after a few hours. I've given up entirely on having my nails done as I don't have time to spend an hour plus on them twice a week or more.

[@vanessapedettapeccia692]

same! i don't even follow all her tips, so my polish starts chipping after 6-7 days, but it's definetely an improvement (before they would last like 2 days)

[@laurac86]

Idk if this will work for everyone or if it’s something you’d even want to do but I’ve had awesome results with putting down a layer of builder gel in a bottle first then applying regular nail polish (usually Holo Taco 🥰) on top. For some reason nail polish stays on SO well and literally doesn’t chip. I’m thinking part of it is that the gel is blocking the natural oils from coming through your nails which can cause polish to chip or if your body chemistry just doesn’t like polish it again kind of provides like a barrier. Or maybe nail polish just sticks really well to it, but whatever it is, my nail polish literally won’t chip and will only start to wear on the tips after a week or two. Now of course when your nails grow out but instead of removing the builder gel, I basically just fill it. I find builder gel in a bottle to be pretty easy to work with especially if you’re someone who is already a custom to using nail polish

[@grespinosa]

@@laurac86That’s such an intriguing suggestion! My natural nails flake and chip when I try to give them a break from regular polish -I’ll look into possibly laying down builder gel. 👍🎉💅🏻

[@belleboutiquebylynbella]

Anna in the salon life channel, is a licensed nail technician, she says never cut the skin that everyone thinks is the cuticle. It’s really the eponychium, and is live skin and never should be cut. The actual cuticle is the dead skin stuck to your nail which should be gently scraped off to prevent lifting at that point. I highly recommend watching Anna on the salon life as well as this channel. ❤

[@GCAT01Living]

Everyone keeps talking about the pen but I have a bunch of pens from amazon that I reuse. I would love just a bottle of nail oil/vitamin mix from Cristine because I know that will be good.

[@jaqsre]

my problem is that my nails are extremely thin and even with gel polish on i can easily bend them. sooooo wrapping the tip doesn’t work since they’re sharp as knives and the nail polish has every option to lift 😭 and yes i take vitamins. my nails have always been like this, and it’s not because of nail biting because my toes are the same :/

I LOVE THIS. I barely missed this stream so I've been aching for the super cut. From life long nail biter to Holo Taco collector, my nail journey has only been about 4 or 5 months now, and OMG I am having so much fun. I'm so proud of myself for finally killing that habit, I knew someday I would make it happen. Took until year 27. Now I have the absolute *joy* of painting my nails and having 10 pretty little things with me at all times! I guess 20, the toes have had more attention by association. 👀 Lucky toes. ☺️ I told myself it was time to become a nail girlie, and I'm happy to say that I learned and have been doing everything mentioned in this video. Nice!! Thanks to you and a few other nail pages, like @thegraytergood , I have dove into this with great tips already in my holster. Pew pew. Pretty nails are here to stay. Thanks for being one of the loveliest creators out there.

[@IsabelaGiusti]

The brazilian technique to apply nail polish is SO different! We tend to flood the nail bed/cuticle area and then just gently scrape it off with a wooden/metal stick. I don't like cutting my cuticles and with this technique, even when there's nail growth, it takes a while for my natural nails to show, because there's usually a bit of nail polish underneath the cuticle. Wrapping the tip, though, I've learned that from you so many years ago and to this day I get comments from people on the fact my nail tips don't chip for the first 10ish days I've had a color on! (Some people do complain about the nail polish under the nail, saying it looks "dirty", but hey, my tips don't chip while theirs do 🤷)

The best way to keep your cuticles pushed back is your hand towel. At least once a day when you wash your hands, take a few extra seconds to rub your cuticles back with the dampened areas of the towel.

I recently started getting into doing my nails and damn this was SO helpful! 💝 And yes, invest in a nail polish thinner. It has helped restore so many of my nail polishes all these years.

[@belleboutiquebylynbella]

Im sorry I keep correcting you, but Anna from the salon life, did research and found scientific proof that you do not have to file one way. You actually can file back and forth. It has to do with the nail composition. The layers all go different ways and the filing back and forth does not affect them. She always files back and forth on her clients with no issues. Also, a glass nail (and you can file back and forth) file actually seals the nail and will help if you don’t want to file back and forth with a regular file. You have a lot of great information and I’ve learned even more. Thank you. ❤

[@catherine_404]

Thank you Jen for your contribution!!! My nails are also very slightly ridged like Jen's are. It never worried me, especially since it's just my natural structure, and any nail polish smoothes the surface completely. But it's nice to see people who are similar to me.

[@minagica]

I wholeheartedly agree with applying a thicker layer of GT, I think it's because of how fast it dries, using more of it helps delay the drying just enough to complete the required number of sweeps to coat the nail, maybe even fix a little missed bit if you have to. I absolutely love its formula, thank you for bringing it to market!

One time my mom tried to thin out my holo polish with acetone and it ruined all the glitter and turned gray instead of silver. :,) I was like 13 and it was the most expensive nail polish I had.

idk why this was suggested to me, i don't watch beauty videos and almost never paint my nails. and yet here i sat through the whole thing, thuroughly entertained and more equipped for my next eventual nail painting session... thanks for the fun and insight!

Hey simply can you reconsider the packaging of the nail file or release one for travelling? I think the glass is prone to breaking when packing tight luggage and pressing it in therefore a sturdier packaging would be nice or just a shorter file so it won‘t break as easily. On another occasion i held the file up side down and it slipped out of its pocket and then shattered on the floor. I was really sad bc i just had purchased it. Would be very happy about some iteration on the nail file!
