When I was a teenager (so over 40 years ago), I didn't wear a base coat once and wore red polish. My nails were soooo yellow. I buffed the yellow out and thought it was great, no more yellow! Oh my. My nails were so freaking thin until that part grew out, it was horrible. I can attest, please don't ever buff your nails no matter how stained they are! I've been using a base coat ever since and my nails have never turned yellow again!
Glad I found your channel! I just learned about the Zoya naked perfector and bought it to use with sheer polishes. Five years of deeply pigmented polishes have left my nails quite yellow. So I used the Yellow Stopper as a base (no peeling!), two coats of the lavender and two coats of Essie Sheer Fantasy, a light pink. It’s almost like a no makeup makeup look: a little more than clear polish, but less than an actual French manicure. I’m very pleased.
I use the Perfect formula pink gel coat. I have a bottle of the ruby gel coat, but haven’t tried it yet. I’ve never noticed it to yellow my nails, but my mother who uses it as well says it does yellow the nails.
Great work on this video and I’m really excited for what’s to come for you! I’m not a big fan of the Zoya brightener, it’s just blue-purple-gray enough to give me corpse nails.
That Zoya naked manicure line is fantastic, I bought it on a whim last year and I'll never be without it now. I like to layer one coat of the pink over one coat of the lavender, once I get the white on the tips and the topcoat applied my nails look so healthy and beautiful.
@@TheSalonLife I will need to pay attention and report back, off the top of my head I'm not sure. My nail beds are pretty small and I keep my nails short so I feel like I don't have a huge problem with yellowing, but then again I was never really looking out for it specifically. The next time I use it I'll do before and after photos to compare and I'll let you know. I could possibly test it out on my toes since they haven't been polished since last summer.
I use Zoya Naked Manicure occasionally but i prefer the pink perfector and the buff perfector. I like one coat of buff and one coat pink together aling with the base coat and glossy top coat.
Have you ever done a rewiev of the Blue Cross Yello-out and Blue Cross Nail whitener ? I bought mine a while ago and used them today. They have not so wide brushes but that’s ok with me. I have smaller nails and find that I have more control with smaller brushes. And I liked the products.
I’d be curious to see how Deborah Lippman’s genie in a bottle compares against the Zoya! They both have that purple tint, but I only have the DL so I can’t compare both
I’d love to hear and learn more about how other ingredients are labeled as formaldehyde in polish. If a polish has formaldehyde listed in the ingredients, it isn’t actually a formaldehyde because that is a gas, but is it actually formalin in it every time? Or do they label other things as formaldehyde, too? If so, how do you know what is actually in the polish and when it is formalin or something else? Another hardener you’ve educated us about is Dimethyl urea. That is a slower acting and safer one, right? Is it labeled as that in the polish ingredients? I think one you talked about had keratin listed as a beneficial ingredient, but it is actually the Dimethyl urea that made the polish beneficial. For anyone wanting to try to remove staining caused by a polish, and I’m not talking about yellowing in general but say for example your nails get turned Smurf blue from wearing a blue polish, a paste with baking soda and water and a gentle brush can sometimes help. Put it on, let it sit for a minute or two, and gently brush your nails with a gentle brush. Be warned this is drying, so I wouldn’t do it too much and hydrate like mad afterward. Baking soda and lemon is said to help, but since the lemon is acidic, I don’t think it is that good for your nails. I don’t use the lemon juice. Cuticle remover can sometimes remove stains. A whitening toothpaste and gentle brush can help, too. Sometimes there is nothing that will take the stains out. Also, sometimes the stains from a particular polish will go away after a couple of mani’s.
Hi Sherri! Here is more info about formalin written by Doug Schoon. He explains it better :) IMPORTANT INFO ABOUT FORMALDEHYDE bit.ly/3sHLFu2 bit.ly/2Ob3kuY bit.ly/3zsIQRt Dimethyl Urea is always listed as Dimethyl Urea as far as I know. I don’t think they use other names. And yes, Dimethyl Urea is sometimes preferable because it’s harder (no pun intended) to overdo it and it doesn’t cause irritation as often (because anything can be bad for you or irritating if it’s used in excess). They both are used as hardeners to cross link the nail tighter and to make it harder/less bendy (less flimsy) Hydrolyzed Keratin works to a degree but not as a hardener but as far as I understand it binds to the damaged areas. So it won’t do much for people’s nails that are not damaged but peeling and bendy and soft (but no surface damage).
Ps. Yes, the Pink Gel coat says it has keratin but that keratin was listed after the formalin so I think it was the formalin that was really what worked. The keratin might have helped too but it’s just funny how they don’t talk about the formalin in the product because of the bad publicity but they will talk about the keratin because it sounds good. A lot of these ingredients are just for good publicity, they just sound good but they might not even be in the product or be in such tiny amounts that it doesn’t benefit the nails at all.

Hi Anna! I remember at one point you used a nail whitener to help fade some yellowing from your nails while they grew out, and you were getting modest success with it. I think you may have mentioned it in passing in one of your other videos, and I cannot for the life of me find that bit! Do you recall or was it a dream? If real, was it one of these products? Thanks in advance!
Hello there :) No, these products don’t fade anything, they just camouflage the yellowing to some extent and they can actually cause more yellowing sadly. The yellowing is due to a nitrocellulose content according to a chemist
I always apply a basecoat but after a few weeks of wearing nailpolish in a row my nails become yellow. Can I prevent this or do something to whiten them again? My mom dilutes bleach with water and a bit of lemon juice and puts her nails in it for few minutes but my nails aren't as strong as hers and I'm worried that it would weaken my nails even more. I'm very grateful for your tips and recommendations 😊
Hi Assal! The only brand of nail polish that really doesn't yellow the nails is Dazzle Dry.

I think I like the right hand better even tho it's cheaper. Anna, you started to say something about your 3 yellow nails. Did you do anything for them?
Thank you for noticing how I trailed off with that staining story. It made a lot of sense in my head, lol. I buffed my nails and light buff didn’t help. I wanted to see how deep the stain was. It was deep. My nails took a long time to grow out from that damage. Definitely I don’t recommend it.
If you want fresh bare nail plates after removing a polish, or maybe hair dye that has stained them............ Use (Gena Nail Brite Whitening Scrub with nail brush.) It eliminates the need for a brightening base coat and removes the problem, instead of temporarily trying to cover it. Trust me. It's amazing .
I used it and it doesn’t help at all ;( I think the yellowing is mostly oxidation of the nail plate and no product can remove it. I googled the ingredients. It contains abrasive and a synthetic cleanser like the ones in liquid hand soaps. Maybe it’s good for under the nail debris and dirt but I do t think it will brighten up a yellow nail.
@@TheSalonLife That's so weird. I wonder why we get opposite results? Maybe you gotta hold your mouth just right or somethin? lol My grandma used to say that to me when I'd get frustrated with something i was try'na get done.

Hello Anna and Mr. Salon life. I have a question for you not related with nails. Who is the cost of foods. Expensive or not? I'm looking at a 60 days vacations that is very interesting.
Groceries are a little cheaper than Canada. Going out for food is not cheap (just like in Canada), maybe a little less but it’s excellent experience. I way prefer going out here than in Canada. The best deal is daily menu Monday to Friday from around 1-4pm. You can get an amazing meal for about $12-13 euros. Including wine and dessert. Overall I love it here. I highly recommend going for vacation and spending a good amount of time here. Not like a 1 week European vacation where you run around from one famous church to the other in 7 different cities. Let me know if you have any questions and I will be happy to answer them
Ain't that like some aesthetic? I don't see the big issue with yellowed nails if it comes by using lots polish colors 🤔 even my toe nails are a bit yellow ish but they are healthy.
Well the yellow resembles diseased nails. So you're forced to wear full coverage nail polish or get your confidence when in places where your first impression matters...like I dunno, giving a presentation at a very prestigious company or something. Especially as most people don't know this is what nail polish does when you wear it non stop they just think you've got a disease.
Hello! before putting the nail polish base I usually use the buffer because I have greasy nails and otherwise the nail polish comes off like a film.is that bad?
Hi Lexie! Nails can't be really greasy on it's own. Using pure acetone/99% alcohol will surely clean them up if the oil is on the source. Some nails can have too much moisture and that can be a problem when it comes to adhesion. Are your nails flexible/bendy? Using buffer will help with adhesion because products stick better to surface that is not smooth but you run a risk of damaging your nails.
Unfortunately it appears that American Classics Yellow Stopper has been discontinued. Sally Beauty Supply now carries a product called Stop The Yellow Air Dry Top Coat. The instructions say to use on gels and acrylics. Do you think this can be used as a base coat on natural nails? These are the ingredients: Butyl Acetate, MEK, Polymethyl Methacrylate, Acetyl Tributyl Citrate, Bis (t-butyl Benzoxazolyl) Thiophene, CI 60725 (Violet 2).

Unfortunately it appears that American Classics Yellow Stopper has been discontinued.
Sally Beauty Supply now carries a product called Stop The Yellow Air Dry Top Coat. The instructions say to use on gels and acrylics.
Do you think this can be used as a base coat on natural nails? These are the ingredients:
Butyl Acetate, MEK, Polymethyl Methacrylate, Acetyl Tributyl Citrate, Bis (t-butyl Benzoxazolyl) Thiophene, CI 60725 (Violet 2).
If it's says it to be used as a top coat for gels and acrylics then I would say it's not formulated for natural nails as a base...
