I love the look of short, natural, well-groomed nails. Thanks to the techniques I have learned on this channel, my nails look almost as nice as Anna’s. Even if you have thin, soft, bendy nails like I do, you can still achieve this classic, beautiful, clean look by practicing good nail- care habits. Thank you Anna for sharing your expertise.
Thank you for this video, Anna! Your teaching is always so clear and wise! I have been following you for about four years now. I always learn something new every time you have a teaching video. ♥️
I actually bought a pair of “Mighty Sight” as-seen-on-TV magnification glasses to use to paint my nails with. They have 160% magnification and they have very bright LED lights right on the frame of the glasses…like headlights. Lol. They are also rechargeable. I love them so much. They make painting my nails with clear polish or applying anything at all to my nails, shaping and filing, or just wanting to inspect them closely, a total breeze.
@@TheSalonLife you gotta get yourself a pair. They are called “Mighty Sight”. I used to use one of those pivoting flashlight headbands that you put around your forehead and they work wonderfully too because they keep your hands free and you can aim the light right at the nails. Good light is absolutely everything when it comes to doing anything at all to your nails. I’m 50 and my eyesight isn’t what it used to be.
Do you wear glasses for reading as well? Would you wear them over your reading glasses? For regular reading and computer I wear 1.5 but for nails I wear 2.5
So helpful and you are right. I am doing a weekly mani and each time I get better with the polish application. By 5-6 days I am ready for a new color. Thank you Anna !
OMG, it DOES train the eye, just like you said! I keep coming back to your polishings and notice something I've missed before and sometimes I catch myself moving my hand/fingers/head following the way you polish, as if I was working too :) And YES, your videos are super helpful! Thank you!!!
Literally the most thorough tutorial on polishing nails that I've watched. You've mentioned several things that I have not seen in other videos. And I've watched a lot. Thank you!
Thank you for publishing this video! You've mentioned proper form in other videos but I feel this is your best comprehensive 'why' video yet! I know my technique has improved quite a bit from watching your videos, keep up the good work!
I didn't even watch the video, yet liked it and comment on it: THANK YOU!!! THIS is what I searched for on your channel for a long time! I never understood how to properly apply nail polish (anytime I do it, I put on too much nail polish at once and when I put the brush 2 or 3 times more on the nail, it end up becoming a big chunky & ugly mess, I remove it with nail polish remover and end up stopping the manicure, completely discouraged... I will now watch your video and try getting my nails done step by step!!
What a great video, very well demonstrated. I'm rubbish at painting my nails, but I'm going to give it a try now that my nails have improved thanks to following your advice on nail care
Thank You for continuing to educate us 💚 Personally, I'd highly recommend having both hands on a table or other flat, stable, sufficiently wide surface. Really helps to avoid smudges between painted and unpainted nails if I can keep my hand flat with spread out fingers. I'm not practiced or coordinated enough to polish my nails just over my knee without making a complete mess xD Also if self-leveling jelly polishes are available where You live, they are so much easier to get neat results with than regular nail polishes.
Oh my goodness! I was thinking of you this weekend with a related question! 1. WAS… how do you keep your bootle and brush cap clean?…. Answered, thank you! 2. If one happens to get the neck and cap full of polish, how do you clean it? I end up getting a bottle neck full of cotton lint and more polish puddling in the cap when I set it down to work on the bottle! Quite a mess!
The neck can be cleaned with pure acetone. Once the polish gets in the cap, uffffff. Difficult to clean. You can try using a dropper to fill it with acetone and then using a q-tip.
Hi Anna,now that I found you here,I have all sort of questions. 1.Would you use an electric file for ridges? My nails have vertical ridges and are strong. 2.What would be the best way to care for ridges before polish application. 3. If I were to buy an electric file,what brand do you recomand (I am aware of skill needed to use this)
Hello there, this is way too much info to answer in a comment section :) I have many videos addressing these. Just put in "ridgy" and "ridges" into a search window. Also "e-file"
I'm JUST writing a guide on how to improve a nail contour and I need a pictures of hangnails. Can you email me a photo please and I will quickly advise? thesalonlife@gmail.com How to take pictures explained here: thesalonlifeshop.com/products/annas-nail-advice
Thank you for sharing. I am growing my nails out and they do well until it reaches the point that I desire and then chip or break. Can you please share the link for this polish in the video?
That's how I paint my nails. It works! I also keep a small dish of polish remover and small stiff makeup brush (like a flat or angled eyeliner brush) to quickly clean up any polish that might get on my cuticles. (I try but I'm not yet perfect. Lol!)
You make it look so easy, especially painting, the right hand. You are using Mercadona basecoat.? Is this actually a decent basecoat you would recommend or were you just using it to demonstrate with today?
The base coat was just an example of a base coat with a good brush :) I have never used it as a base coat under a polish, just as a clear coat and it performs well, just like any other decent polish :))
Hi! I would to like to know if these are normal effects of an irritation/reaction you've seen before. I gave myself a manicure, using cuticle remover for the first time, and I washed it off with soap and water, before working on the skin. I did this since the bottle said to do this after use and I wanted to avoid irritation as well, so I thought I may as well do it before, but that could be why it was difficult to remove the cuticle using an orangewood stick,(I think I left quite a bit behind) pushing back the PNF as gently as I could...When I removed the polish, around a week later, I noticed my PNF looked stretched, the cuticle layer was sort of flaky/peeling vs the usual stickiness, the sidewalls looked like they had little dust particles, and like the skin had slightly melted into my nail. Never seen my sidewalls like that. I hadn't changed my routine of lotion after most washes while wearing that polish, which had kept my skin/PNF looking pretty healthy before. After I removed the polish, I've since been not doing manicures/polish, and trying to moisturize more than usual, and slowly(it's been around a month or two since that mani)my skin looks better,(I currently have many hangnails)still not quite as healthy as before the remover. That was my first time using remover on my fingernails, not the first using that polish line. Any ideas about what happened? Thank you.(I also have used this remover on my toes once/twice before a few years ago, didn't notice any of the effects above.)
@TheSalonLife The remover I used was the Prolinc cuticle eliminator I'm fairly certain I applied the remover and let it set for 30 sec. (the bottle says 45 sec.) and then I washed with soap and water. I found the cuticle still quite stuck to the nail plate, so I reapplied and let it set for 15 more seconds,(altogether 45 sec.) I then washed again with soap and water, and struggled removing the cuticle from the nail plate. What came off peeled off in pieces more, rather than acting like more like mush like I've seen in your videos. I've been wondering if maybe the exposure of fresh product twice to the skin like that was more of the issue causing irritation, and worse than it might be then if it was in contact with skin for the same amount of time, but just one application?
I was posting then not seeing my replies to your questions under my first comment, but through much trial and error and a bit of research I discovered it might be the amazon links I’ve been including that are triggering the youtube filter. Hopefully by removing the links, you’ll be able to see my replies now. Thank you for your advice/education on this channel, I understand nails better and have learned many things from you! Reading the amazon reviews on the remover, there are people with sensitive skin(which I have) some saying they don't experience any irritation, others say they have. Either way, it overall seems like a strong product, and I will be careful in choosing one in the future. This review described similar symptoms as mine: ‘’Caused my nails to turn yellow and skin to dry and peel,’’ --It reminded me that I did experience a yellow tinge on my nails, which I assumed was from the nail polish, but it did fade fairly quickly. The other thing I noticed that could be damage or coincidental from the remover/cuticle removing process, is subtle pale white-ish spots growing in right up against the PNF, on both index fingers, after I removed the polish. They were all subtle at first, but the one on my right hand is whiter now. They're about a third of the way grown out currently, and I don't see any more growing in. No more removers for a while for me, but I know you recommend the blue cross one, and would like to know if you have thoughts on it for sensitive skin.
I was wishing just yesterday that you would post this exact video!! Perfect timing because I'm going to buy a new sheer polish (the one I have is too old and goopy). And then I'll be on the lookout forbwhen you do a tutorial for applying color. Whenever I apply color, my nails look so messy every time ☹️
is there an eye-hand coordination exercise for the non-dominant hand you could recommend? i will take your video tip here to follow your movements as practice - thank you
Hello, thank you for your videos. I’m in the US and was trying to find the polish you are using in this video but can’t seem to. Do you know where I can purchase it?
Great informative video! 1. Is it not necessary to cap the edges with base, polish or top coat? 2. I know general rule is one coat base , 2 coats polish , one coat top coat , but do u ever do 3 coats polish , or is that too much ? ❤
This is a lesson #1 so polishing with just a clear coat. I will make another video about how to polish with color. 1. Capping edges is not necessary unless you have a very long nails. 2. I use 3 coats of polish sometimes but only Dazzle Dry because it dries so quckly. When it comes to other brands if a formula is bad or difficult on 2 coats I don't use the polish. 3 coats take forever to dry and no client has a patience for this.
Difficult task. Pull put the brush if you can. Use a dropper filling the cap with pure acetone, letting it melt and wipe with q-tip. Repeat as many times as you can. Don't hate me. LOL And don't let your friends touch your polishes.
Hi! I have one really important question that has been stressing me out a lot!😭: So I've been doing press on nails for about 3 months. I've touched gel polish occasionally, for example when I've removed the sticky layer with water, because I didn't know that it was possible with alcohol wipes.😪 I've also cleaned gel polish bottles once, and gel got on my hands a couple of times. I washed them off immediately, and I didn't get any symptoms of allergy.🤔 Now afterwards I found out that it's possible to have an allergic reaction to gels. I haven't had allergy reactions yet, but I've been touched to gel a few times.😬😭 Now, however, I'd like to learn more about doing gel nails, take courses, get a license, and search the internet so that I could start doing real gel extension nails.🤔 However, I don't know if that's good idea, because now that I've been exposed to gel a few times, I'm afraid that I'll develop an allergy over time.😭😭 So the question is, can I become a nail tech, or does being exposed to gel a few times mean that I'll develop a gel allergy? 😭 (Before I found out all that stuff about allergies, I bought a lot nail stuff, but now I'm afraid that there's gonna be no use for them, since doing nails will be too dangerous.)🥲
I am willing to study a lot, take courses, etc. However, I wonder if, since I have exposure, will it be possible for me to do nails again, even if I would be fully trained from now on.
Okay, I watched it and it was very helpful. Still there is this thing that I would like to ask; is it possible to learn how to do nails from TH-cam videos for example, or do I have to take courses? I would love to take courses but unfortunately I can not afford them, since they cost like over 200€/course.🥲
It is also recommended that all nail supplies be from the same online store, but I switched brands at one point. Now I have all the supplies from the luunails online store, but the gel polish colors are from madam glam. Can I still use them, even though they are a different brand? When those gel polishes run out, I will switch all the products to luunails.
If you want to do something professionally and charge money for it then I recommend attending a proper education. It's only fair. How would you feel if you hired any professional and then you found out that they learned from TH-cam because they couldn't afford proper education. TH-cam is great and the information helps, but it does not replace formal training. I recommend starting with Nail Knowledge (I'm not affiliated with them) nailknowledge.org
I have the hardest time polishing with slender nail polish brushes. This results in a streaky application. What technique or method do you recommend to avoid this?
I only use good brushes. I don't buy a polish that has a bad brush. Seriously I refuse to use the crappy brushes. Thats like asking a make-up artist to use a these cheapie eye shadow applicators that come with palettes for their make up.
Check out some indie nail polish brands. A lot of them sell replacement brushes or other brushes that usually fit most bottles. They are usually medium-wide or wide brushes.
Cosmetics in EU are highly regulated and you can't sell "home made" cosmetics. So this is why I'm using a professional cosmetic manufacturing factory to make my salves and make sure that everything is done correctly. They should be ready in January.
@ I have applied it as thin as I possibly could; but for some reason no matter what brand I try, they don’t dry. It could maybe just be my chemistry…. Idk. But I tried many things to get them to dry.
@ yes, I did watch the whole video. I do prefer a natural looking polish too. I just ment for demonstration purposes. I must have missed the part about a part 2. Thank you for taking the time to respond.
It's about learning with the easiest steps first. Then moving onto the more difficult steps (colors) but only after the clear polish application has been perfected.

What do you use to keep nail polish bottles clean?
I replace the brush carefully without scraping the sides.
My friend used my nail polish and left polish all over and it got on the neck and the cap. How can I remove it from the inside of the cap?
Difficult task. Pull put the brush if you can. Use a dropper filling the cap with pure acetone, letting it melt and wipe with q-tip. Repeat as many times as you can. Don't hate me. LOL
And don't let your friends touch your polishes.

Okay, I watched it and it was very helpful. Still there is this thing that I would like to ask; is it possible to learn how to do nails from TH-cam videos for example, or do I have to take courses? I would love to take courses but unfortunately I can not afford them, since they cost like over 200€/course.🥲
It is also recommended that all nail supplies be from the same online store, but I switched brands at one point. Now I have all the supplies from the luunails online store, but the gel polish colors are from madam glam. Can I still use them, even though they are a different brand? When those gel polishes run out, I will switch all the products to luunails.
If you want to do something professionally and charge money for it then I recommend attending a proper education. It's only fair. How would you feel if you hired any professional and then you found out that they learned from TH-cam because they couldn't afford proper education.
TH-cam is great and the information helps, but it does not replace formal training.
I recommend starting with Nail Knowledge (I'm not affiliated with them)

I have the hardest time polishing with slender nail polish brushes. This results in a streaky application. What technique or method do you recommend to avoid this?
I only use good brushes. I don't buy a polish that has a bad brush. Seriously I refuse to use the crappy brushes. Thats like asking a make-up artist to use a these cheapie eye shadow applicators that come with palettes for their make up.
Check out some indie nail polish brands. A lot of them sell replacement brushes or other brushes that usually fit most bottles. They are usually medium-wide or wide brushes.
🙏🏼🙏🏼 Thank you so much 😊 This is so helpful ☀️🥳❤️
You're so welcome!
Hi, why can you not sell your salve on its own?
Cosmetics in EU are highly regulated and you can't sell "home made" cosmetics. So this is why I'm using a professional cosmetic manufacturing factory to make my salves and make sure that everything is done correctly. They should be ready in January.
The problem with polish I have, is that they don’t dry for me.
You are probably applying it too thick
@ I have applied it as thin as I possibly could; but for some reason no matter what brand I try, they don’t dry. It could maybe just be my chemistry…. Idk. But I tried many things to get them to dry.
I love your vids but why use a clear polish for demonstrating how to paint you nails? It’s hard to see.
Have you seen the video? :) I explained.
This is the next step th-cam.com/video/5Ron39c_3yg/w-d-xo.html
@ yes, I did watch the whole video. I do prefer a natural looking polish too. I just ment for demonstration purposes. I must have missed the part about a part 2. Thank you for taking the time to respond.
It's about learning with the easiest steps first. Then moving onto the more difficult steps (colors) but only after the clear polish application has been perfected.
Hi! Anyone in Southern California follow A Salon Life styles and methods? I’m obsessed with these methods and I just hate doing my own nails haha
your nails ❤❤❤
