    I bought the purple one recently. It makes my nails look really nice, but I don't have yellowing nails. I find that it does give my nails a purple hue - which was what I wanted. I can't speak to the strengthening aspect, because I've only used it twice. I find that it takes longer to dry. I like it so far.

    I have the essie oil and I do think it works very well. I don’t like the color and I also feel it is hard to apply the oil once you are below half empty. I got the Orly Oil which has the dropper bottle and I find that a lot easier to apply (although it is probably easier to use too much.). These essie strengtheners are now readily available in drugstores in my area. I tried my Infinite Shine treatments alone to see if either have a brightening effect and it is really hard to tell but they might. The one has some tiny reflective flakes in it and that definitely does reflect.

  • @francooper4237
    @francooper4237 2 года назад +6

    I’ll be staying away from the pizza-like proximal nail fold oil. 😂🍕 I have the pink strengthener and my feelings so far are “meh.” Nails don’t feel immediately stronger, just a bit protected like what I’d expect from a polish or top coat. It also chips off quickly on me and I don’t love how it looks on the white tips of my nails.

    Hi new fan here, so glad I came across your videos, very informative , great job!! Im a crazy for whiteners/brighteners, sheer polishes , cuticle care and basically overall anything thats got to do w/ nails 😄 I was about to purchase these 2 from Essie but wasn't sure if they gonna do anything and looks like they would be a waste of money so thank you . Currently my fav go to polish is Perfect Formula in Ruby over Essies Marshmallow but thanks to you I just purchased Opi- funny bunny and Dazzle Dry-fine china. Keep posting your videos cant wait whats next.Thank you!! 😘

    • @TheSalonLife
      @TheSalonLife  2 года назад +1

      Oh gosh! Welcome! Sounds like we have the same taste! How cool is this?!
      Fine China is excellent by Dazzle Dry. If you love healthy nails you will LOVE dazzle Dry. It never yellows the nails! I hope you got the base and top too as this really needs to be used as full system.
      My other fav was the Perfect Formula, I’m not sure which one I have, I think I have the pink one. I love the consistency of it but the packaging is not the best. I poured it into a bottle with a paddle brush and OMG it makes a big difference.
      You should try Dior. It’s more pink, less blue hue (but still bright) and it doesn’t fade. I find Perfect Formula stains a bit after few days. Like it yellows a bit. Looks yellow on the pad when I take it off.
      My perfect product would be like Dior Nail Glow but with a hint of milkyness.

    I had the Essie cuticle oil, I hated it. It is so orange, it is gross on the nails, cuticle. Also, I find it really thin and not really hydrating.
    My fave oil is the CND solar oil, still very light in texture but hydrating and the pen version is brilliant.

    I actually have a question regarding removing it! Do you just add onto it or can you use acetone based nail polish remover to remove, clean up and dry, then just reapply the product?

    • @TheSalonLife
      @TheSalonLife  11 месяцев назад +1

      I honestly think that most strengtheners are just a glorified base coat with some "marketing ingredients" added.
      Marketing ingredients are stuff that sounds good and often "natural" that doesn't usually have much benefit (especially when applied topically) but it "sounds good and healthy"
      Strengtheners don't do anything for your nail. They provide an extra layer on the nail, which provides coating, that's it, just like a regular base coat does - once you remove the product, the nail is back to what it was or it's even more damaged because of constant nail polish wear.
      There's no actual improvement to the nail plate itself done by the strengthener .
      There are some exceptions but for the most part these are not more effective than any other polish.
      I was hoping these polishes would be brightening, like the Dior Nail Glow but they are not. And word of caution, they fade to a strange color (even when kept in original packaging in the drawer). I don't recommend them really.
      I find this routine is much more effective ruclips.net/video/8LXeYtTG8OU/видео.html

    Hi, this is the second video of yours Ive seen so I dont know if Im repeating anything but his pinky nail is concerning. Not knowing anything about his nails or if there is an absolute known cause for the dark vertical line on his pinky is a sign of melanoma cancer. It is a sign most people have no idea about. He should have it checked out if an oncologist has not already. It is barely noticeable. This could be a sign of a few minor reasons or one of many health conditions he already knows about. It can also be a benign mark or malignant.

    • @TheSalonLife
      @TheSalonLife  2 года назад +2

      Hi there! Thankyou so much for your concern. The line was a splinter hemorrhage. It has grown out completely. I've seen many of those over the years. When looking closely at the nail you can see it's in the nail and not under the nail. Also usually melanoma would be running the whole length of the nail.

On the other hand i already own the essie ones. They do not seem to harden the nails in my opinion. I use it as basecoat. My nails where sooooo damaged from wrong efile usage AND China products. And tooo long extension. Not a good combo for short, brittle and thin nailbeds naturally. Just sayin 😉

      These are not hardeners. OPI Nail Envy either. I don't think any of these polishes benefit the nails. It's all marketing. Polishes should be considered a decoration.
      There are some treatments that can help the condition of the nails but polishes are not so.
