Thanks for these tips. Very helpful. ps.I knew u had Nail Magic on before u had even said anything. I used to use it all the time & I love it. I haven't used it in aloooong time though. )-: I was actually looking at the first 2 Sally Hansen products u showed us, yesterday but wasn't sure. I'll def have to try them out.
Any permanent product overlaid on the nail plate such as acrylic or gel etc stops the nail from absorbing keratin. Once the overlays have been removed, it takes approximately 4 - 5 months for the keratin levels to return to normal.
Overlays may look nice in the short term but they do much damage in the long run.
hi there love your vid when will your next nail vid be I have never had any probs with my nails so I am interested to know how yor nails are doing.... many thanx
Oh man, I needed this! my nails SUCK! lmaooooo! btw, your make up in this video is brilliant! I am trying to grow my own nails too and I'm a licensed Esthetician!! We got lots in common cept you're way classier than me. hehehe!! ;-);-) OMG, your nails looks just like mine!! I keep mine short and filed as well. I need to try that supplement. Great video! You always have the best advice.
LOL, thanks I never thought of that. After that bottle finished I picked up Pre-natal vit (even though I'm not preg) and I've been taking those now for about 2 months. That's ALL I'm doing and I'm noticing SUCH a change in my nails. When I do my next vlog, I think I might mention you telling me about this though to warn others : )
I'm going through this situation right now myself. It's a nightmare! I'm going to try this and see what happens for me. THANK YOU for posting this! I've been looking for help from someone who has dealt with what I'm dealing with.
Man I have tried to grow my nails out but I think I need more vitamins because they always break off Grrrr,.....I might try some vitamins for that love that you are vlogging about your journey to healthy nails :)
I use to wear acrylics all the time. Then finally, last year over the summer, I took them off. I bought the Nail Magic and the Odorless Garlic Growing Nails and omg, they both helped my nails grow. So its been a yr now and my nails are healthy and strong. I even do my own nails, so I dont go to the salon and waste money LOL. I m considering doing Nail Tech. But we'll see! Good luck with this!
I know what you are talking about because I am a licenced ethetician/nail technitian too and I had gel nails on for over 8 yrs straight and I went on a journey to grow my own nails and now I have my own long strong nails.
The triple strong by sally hansen works really well for me. Check out my videos , you might find helpful info that can help you too.;o)
Nail magic works well but if you check the triple strong ingredients and nail magic they are pretty similar. Good luck with your nail journey
Thank you so much for all the tips!! I am a nail biter and have been trying, and trying to stop, but as soon as they start getting long I bite them off again. So I am glad that you are doing this on YT, sort of like a little coach for me to help me to grow my nails! :D
I try not to cut my cuticles ... it can cause serious infections. After my acrylics I was battling my cuticles and hangnails ... I have been doing hot oil manicures and they are helping : )
I took my nails off a swore that I was going to give them a rest for a while. My friend begged me to put them back on for her wedding. I sttod my ground even tho it was hard and still don't have my nails done. My fingernails feel so such better Good Luck!
@deannario they have been off for about a month now. The pain I felt after i took them off was unbearable so I went to Sally'd beauty supply and bought Gelous Nail Gel it has strengthed my nails alot but like the products you tried it peels off my nails after a few days so I reapply. I really like it they don't hurt anymore and actually they seem to be growing faster. I also take gelatin vitamins and the biotin. Also The first week i took them off I put on glue ons. but now I am free. lol
We can do this journey together then ... : ) I enjoy having them off too although sometimes I miss them but I'm proud of myself that I'm doing this. I didn't do the glue ons. I didn't want anything on them because they DID hurt BAD too. I have a feeling it will probably take another couple months to have anything that will keep me from missing my acrylics.
I'd say it is due to the stuff you are taking, more than whatever stuff put on nails. Biotin is a very important cofactor for enzymes involved in the synthesis of stuff that is present in skin/hair/nails cells and it's mostly absorbed through food. More biotin -> more working enzymes -> more cell production/renewal. Collagen and gelatin are giving you extra protein, but they are broken down before absorption, so I guess they are working more as amino acid supplements. Sorry for the geekiness :P
I agree. I think though that what I'm putting on my nails, the Nail Magic, is strengthening them so that they don't break. And I know that messaging them with the vitamin E oil is definitely helping. It's all working together : ) I LOVE the geekiness : )
Awe your welcome. I have been doing it alone for the past month and 1/2 and I thought you guys might find it useful to see the process and maybe someone else is dealing with it too. I also didn't find any vlogs like it soooo... : )
make sure there isn't any oils on your nails. Use only non-acetone polish remover (but ones that don't contain oils). Lightly buff your nails with a shamy nail buffer or a 4-way buffer. Use a base with thin layers then your color (also use thin layers) and you should find that your polish will last a little longer. Think of your nails as jewels not tools : )
okay so i have tried the vitamins and the nail magic and it has been 2 months already and my nails are still very weak and they still split. also the nail magic on me peeled so bad.
I'm making sure to use it on clean nails and I've been using REALLY thin layers. I don't notice peeling so much as the tips wear the most, probably because I'm use to using my hands and don't think of my nails as jewels like I should : )
Not a stupid question at all. Ridges, or furrows, are usually a result of illness or an injury to the nail cells in or near the matrix (the part of the nail that contains nerves, lymph and blood cells - cuticle). I would avoid the use of metal cuticle pushers and use cotton tipped orangewood sticks. Message is your friend : )
LOL ... well when I got my license it was FOREVER ago. If I remember correctly I was in school for like 3 months. I had to complete 200 hours of study (doing actual clients) before I could graduate. I have NO idea if it's still the same. It was a fun time though.
I will be taking this journey with you! I am trying to grow my nails out as well. I just took mine off about 2 weeks ago and trying to do this myself without having to go a professional every week. So if you don't mind showing us how you do your manicures at home that would be awesome!
