Kate's Natural Nails
Добавлен 29 янв 2021
Natural nail care tips and nail designs. I have been a lifetime nail biter until several years ago. I had acrylic nails for a while, initially to stop the nail biting cycle, then I got hooked on having nice nails. Unfortunately I became allergic to acrylic and I had to remove them. I was devastated and although my natural nails were in a bad state because of the acrylics I set about finding as much information as I could on how to grow healthy natural nails. I've set up this channel to give back and hopefully by sharing what I've learned I can help others have beautiful natural nails too!

Loose Glitter Christmas Skittles Manicure! Super Sparkly 💖 ✨️
Glitter Sensation!
Loose glitter truly is fantastic and the result is amazing! So many fantastic manicures can be created this way so easily and at minimal
cost....just pick up any fine loose glitter at a budget store and some topcoat and you're away - the possibilities are endless!
As a base I applied one coat of coloured polish to each nail in the same colour as the glitter I used. Here are the polishes starting from the pinkie finger:
Essie 'Lucite Of Reality'
OPI '7th and Flower'
Orly 'Royal Navy'
OPI 'This Gold Sleighs Me'
Essie 'With The Band'
This really needs to be finished with a high gloss gel-like topcoat as I used here with Poshé.

OPI 'Do You Have This Color In Stockholm?' with Nailart Stamping
I love this. You make it look so easy
It REALLY is easy! Give it a go Kathy 👍 All you need is glitter and any topcoat! 😊
WOW!!!
What a lovely colour 😍😍😍💜
Merry Christmas Kate 🎄✨🎄✨
Thank you Melissa, a very Merry Christmas to you and yours too 😊 🎄🎊
You have a GREAT talent for nails! Nail decals are not easy to place, the color families you choose also compliment each other nicely. I have noticed your cuticle work is also impeccable! Very NICE! 🎄🧊
Aww thank you so much 🥰 you're so kind 😇 Have a great Christmas 😊🎄🎄
I agree decals can be tricky to place! This manicure was done with stamping (also not always easy 😂)
Love, love this
Thank you so much Kathy 🥰 Have a great Christmas 🎄 😊
Nice combo 😍
Thank you 😊
your videos have great asmr potential! I have to wear gel extensions because my nails are very brittle but I like to wear regular polish on top of them instead of gel since it's much easer to change colours so just watching your videos for some festive ideas xx
So glad you enjoy my videos, thanks for watching 😊
So helpful. Thank you Kate 😊
Great! Glad you found it useful Melissa 😊
Definitely Christmas colors. Lovely
Thank you Kathy 🥰
Watching from Brazil! Loved your video and can't wait for your next nail care content <3
Thank you so much 🥰
Lovely review, Kate! I personally have the Cuccio oil, which i pipette into small cuticle pens for on-the-go, all-day nail oiling, and then I use the OPI for a weekly nail spa treatment (after changing nail polish etc). However, I think I will give the CND oil a try, as that looked quite lovely!
That's great, glad you liked it 😊 Interesting that the cuccio is fine for you - I think individual chemistry plays a part. Yes I love the CND Solar Oil, it works the best for me 😊
I enjoyed your review! Perhaps something you make like to try is making your own based on one you’ve purchased (and liked). For example, the solar oil is sweet almond, jojoba, rice bran and vitamin E. Aromatherapy suppliers will often sell these oils (for me, a popular online shop is Bomar) It would work out to be about €21 for 400ml! I mix the oil in an empty nail polish bottle in small quantities. Edit: just got to the part of the video where you use your homemade one!
Glad you enjoyed the video. Yes, that is an option....however I've tried doing that before without success (the problem is it's guesswork with the amounts of each oil and the result can be hit and miss)
@ from my understanding, the ingredients list (or INCI list) is listed from highest to lowest quantity wise .. but yes, it can be tricky!
Great video. I agree with your comments on the cuccio and essie oils. The solar oil sounds really good.
Thank you, I'm glad you liked it 👍 I love the solar oil ❤️ I might look into the CND Vinylux nail polish (it's meant to be long lasting and works with the solar oil) I think I'll do a review on the system to see how long it lasts and whether it leaves my nails in better condition as it claims...
Thank you Kate for doing the research on these oils
You're welcome - hope it's useful 😊
❤❤❤❤❤❤😊❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Between this and your cleanup video (link below) have taken me from frustrated beginner to feeling like a pro! Thank you!❤❤❤❤
@dougmoore4326 You're welcome 😊 Glad that the videos helped you...that's what this channel is all about! Thank you for watching 😊

That's great! Glad to be able to help 😊
I’ve been using the CREATIVE nail design SUPER SHINY top coat for many years…it’s long wearing and gives a brilliant shine! I enjoyed this video, I’m going to try the Orly top coat!
Glad you enjoyed it ☺️
Loved this, thank you Kate xx
Thank you Melissa 😊 Glad you enjoyed the video.....you must give it a go! 🥰
The multi colored medium sized glitter is GORGEOUS! 2025 eve 🎉
Yes! I loved this one too ❤️ It would be super for New Year's Eve! 🥂🌟🎇
You did a great job explaining all the techniques you used. Could you please let us know where you purchased the top coat you used at the very end of video?
Thank you. The final topcoat was Poshé and you can purchase this easily from Ebay and Amazon. Thank you for watching 😊

Thanks for the tips!!
@esthernunez3828 You're welcome, I'm glad you found the video helpful - good luck! 😊
very pretty 🤩does each layer needed to dry and how long does it take?
Thank you. Usually by the time I have applied the polish to the second hand and dealt with any clean up required the first hand is ready for applying the second coat.
Such a stunning varnish 😍
@@14MellyJo Yes, I love this mani too! Especially the topper! 🥰
Looks really beautiful Kate 🤩
@14MellyJo Thank you so much Melissa 😊 🥰

This is lovely very pretty. Do you have any ideas for Jan/Feb manicures? Spring is for pastels, summer for brights, autumn for jewel and falling leaf tones, and Christmas is for bling but Jan/Feb I never know what I want to do. 🤷🏼♀️
Thank you 😊 Mmm.... how about halfway house - some stamping Nail Art, slightly brighter colours like oranges, mid tone shades but with a little interest like one accent nail with a topper or a different colour. A shaded gradient (each nail a different polish but the same colour graduating from light to dark tones) skittles manicures are also a good transition....keep watching to see what I can come up with!
Thank you, I look forward to it, you've obviously already given it a lot of thought. 😊
I like the OPI, but I like more unusual colours. 💛
Yes, I liked this manicure too - it's a case of twinning it with the right colour! I think it would go well with chocolate too 😉
I love that blue color & the topper
Me too! I love this one ❤️
I really liked the OPI one 😍👌
Beautiful manicure for Christmas…Christmas gold bulb ornaments or a lovely strand of gold metallic garland! How festive! 🎄
Thank you so much! Yes I really liked this one 🎄🥳
Thanks for giving us short natural nail girlies some beautiful color nail polish! 💕
It's a pleasure! Natural nails can be beautiful at any length! Thank you for watching 😊
Why do you do the one dab? I think I had missed that somehow.🙂
It deposits a small amount of polish on the nail which I find helps with a smooth application - this is just my personal preference! I do explain this in the video. Try it both ways and see the difference 😊
Beautiful colour combinations - makes me want to eat chocolate now though 😂🍫
Thank you 😊 😂😂
how do you change your nails up so quickly after doing them? do you just take it off?
I do a manicure when I see signs of wear or when I get bored and fancy a change, when I have time - usually 2/3 times a week. I also really enjoy the process of applying polish and making time for 'me' is important. Thanks for watching 😊
@ oh okay. i love your vids btw. keep doing what your doing dont give up
@AbiLarge That's great! I never will....this is all simply my life (only recorded!)
A CHRISTMAS🎄BOX of CHOCOLATES! 🎁
thats impressive! i loved it!❤
Thank you 😊 Yes, this turned out gorgeous!
Beautiful polish 😍 This time of year I get terrible problems with the nails on my thumbs splitting half way down on the outer edge. It can also happen in the summer but it’s much more prolific in the cold weather. Cuticle oil and hand cream doesn’t seem to make much of a difference. Any suggestions would be appreciated 😀
Do they split vertically or horizontally? If they split from side to side it's usually due to cleaning under the nail with a hard object, putting pressure on the sides. I know it's tempting and I sometimes clean under my nail that way but you need to be VERY CAREFUL - try to clean under the nail as much as possible with a nail brush or toothbrush. If they split vertically (I have one nail that does this all year round and so I keep a silkwrap patch on it. I think this is due to an injury at the base of the nail that was probably due to when I had Acrylic nails. Another possibility could be some vitamin deficiency or Thyroid issues but I would think if it's only on the thumbs that's unlikely.
@ thank you 👍 It is a horizontal split. I keep my nails quite short and use a nail brush only when needed. It’s a bit of a conundrum to be honest 🤔 .
Not sure then - maybe it's worth checking with your doctor to check 🤷♀️
@ Will do. Thank you Kate ☺️
I don't think that top coat is available. 😞
I bought it here in France. I think it's a UK company so maybe more difficult to obtain in the US 🤷♀️
Zoya 'Leia' is very similar
How ofen do you do manicure?
Usually at least twice a week, sometimes three times! If I get chips in my polish I will do another manicure or when I fancy a change (I get bored after a few days!)
i started to fall in love with your videos and I just subscribed to you, they can be my nails inspiration. thank you for the precious inspiration, great work and keep it up🥰❤
Aww thank you, that's great! Thanks for watching - I really appreciate your support and thanks for your kind words! 🥰😊
this is so cute, i love them so muchh😍❤❤
This is a lovely color combination
Thank you so much Kathy 😊 Not my usual combo but it's nice to change it up a bit from time to time!
What about Seiche Vite dry fast top coat?
@martheoth I purposefully didn't review Seche Vite as it contains some highly toxic chemicals.
I agree with Kate, always use a nail polish thinner, I use opi. 😊
Five Golden Flings had mixed reviews when it came out, but I actually quiet like it, looking forward to your full review on it. 😊
Yes....I did a swatch on a nail stick - not really impressed (not my colour tone) but as an accent nail in the right combo maybe...we'll see!
A lovely selection of polishes there Kate 💅
Yes....so looking forward to creating some great manicures!
Beautiful 😍
Thank you 🥰😊
happy birthday! i hope you have a nice week
Thank you 😊
