    You cannot soak nails first and file them afterwards, you damage your nails and then it causes chipping. File your dry nails first and then soak them to push and remove your cuticles. Done!

      Yes no soaking before filing. Actually, filing before removing polish accurately shows the way your nails look.

    Neat video, but here’s a GREAT tip: Before applying polish, wipe your nails with acetone. This will remove any oil that may be on the nail bed. Doing this step will help your polish to last a little bit longer!

      I always wondered with the UV drying thingys, do you have to use any sort of UV protectant for your cuticles/fingers? I just wonder if over time it could be dangerous?

    • @AmandaBellaa
      @AmandaBellaa  6 ปีที่แล้ว +9

      Jennifer Grove ohh I’m sure it’s not the best for them. When I do my gel manicures I wear a pair of gloves! I got a cheap pair from Walmart & just cut the finger tips off. Doesn’t help protect the cuticles/nails, but I’m sure it helps prevent any accelerated aging of your fingers/hands 🙈

    Sweetie ( I'm old , I can call you that lol) don't you let anyone steal your fire! You have your own way and it obviously works for you. You are blessed with strong nails. Mine are very thin and polish flakes off of mine because they bend so easily. So, unfortunately I have to spend a small fortune to get mine done. I like to paint them at home after because those sneaky girls don't paint up to the cuticle causing you to have to go back in a week or two sooner. lol. Have you tried those transfer design plates? You said your dog has fomo? What does that stand for please? I suspect my husky has a mild form lol. I wear a similar color every summer usually. Love it!

    Soaking your nails in water is not good before you paint them. When you paint your nails you want them as dry as possible because then the polish sticks as good as possible. When there is any fluid or oil underneath the nailpolish, you’ll get lifting and chipping. I prefer washing my hands with soap and a quick rinse instead of soaking them in a bowl of water...

    • @SCSilk
      @SCSilk 6 ปีที่แล้ว +31

      The problem I have with soaking my nails is that they absorb water and are bigger. If I get them polished in this state, when the water dries out, my nails shrink back to normal and the polish buckled and cracks.
      Any time my nails are in water, I follow them up with a jojoba based nail oil. The oil keeps my nails flexible but strong and never dry.

    • @eileen58
      @eileen58 6 ปีที่แล้ว +13

      Also water is really bad for your nails, it makes them prone to chipping because they get so brittle. Water doesn't moisturize your hands and nails like she implied, it dries them out because it strips the natural oils from your skin and nails. That's why when you wash your hands too often, they get super dry. It's not the soap that does it, it's the water.

    • @AmandaBellaa
      @AmandaBellaa  6 ปีที่แล้ว +44

      I really appreciate all of your feedback! I'm not a professional, I just like to soak them prior to filing because they tend to curve inwards ...which makes it difficult to file them evenly. I dry them very well post-soak and have never experienced any breakage/chipping due to soaking. But that's good to know. XO

    I just uploaded my first manicure tutorial, definitely a lot harder than it looks (I’ve never done anything like that before so my video doesn’t look as good as yours and I probably should’ve done more editing to shorten it)
    I’ve watched several other tutorials and have stopped the video part way through because they skip important steps and sometimes their voice just annoys me (I know it’s not their fault) but I watched yours to the end and I like the fact you point out little details that a lot of other people wouldn’t know to do and aren’t shown in other videos (in particular about sealing the tips with polish - such an important step!) Those are the things that make the difference between an ok manicure and a great manicure!! :-)

    Consider: File your nails while they still have polish on them - they are stronger with polish on & you can better see their shape.
    Soaking nails allows them absorb water & weakens them. Using a cuticle remover cream achieves this better. Wash hands afterwards and use a nail brush to clean around and under the nails removing dirt and cuticle remover. Soaking your nails allows the water to interfere with the application of the nail polish.

    adding salt to that water is seriously dehydrating your nails and also they shouldn't be wet before you polish them. because they are wet, nails are like sponges and absorbe a lot of water and when that happens, your nails get weakened because the water makes them softer and the natural C-curve of the nail is barely even there... soaking nails in water is not good, really...

      I appreciate your feedback! I never claimed to be an expert, my nails just tend to curve inwards which makes it difficult to file them evenly if I don't soak them first. I dry them very well post-soak and have never experienced any breakage due to filing.

    I have the shakes all the time so I could never paint mine like Kayla. I also find doing my own manicure is very therapeutic, but I have to play the How Messy Can You Get and How Well Can You Clean It Up? Lol... I still do my own and I am getting better at it even with the shakes. Love your show Hun. There is an issue though. When filing and buffing it is best to go one direction. It helps to keep the nail from splitting at the tips. It takes a bit more time but I noticed my nails looked a lot better. Now my questions. How many coats do u do of all 3 polishes? And should each coat be dry?

      Thank you! I don't really have oneee base coat that I swear by, but I usually use one from Essie or Nail Tek. For topcoats I use The INM Out the Door which is amazing(!) and the Essie Gel Setter Topcoat which is phenomenal as well. Both can be found at CVS! :)

      Some topcoats shine better than others -- honestly the Essie Gel Setter is probably my all-time favorite! Applies like a regular polish but shines & lasts like a gel. I would definitely recommend!! XO

    • @AmandaBellaa
      @AmandaBellaa  5 ปีที่แล้ว

      I do that sometimes! The formula of the base coat is supposed to protect the natural nail and help the polish adhere. The top coat formula usually adds shine and helps manicure last! I would use the base for both, but I'm not sure I'd use the top as a base. Woah this got a little confusing! lol

      Washing dishes is not the same as soaking your nails though, dish soap and rubbing with a sponge helps to get your nails soft and sensitive, while soaking without rubbing should just clean them
