    My nails curve, too. When they have been in warm water, they straighten out then curve again as they dry. I have very high arches as well. Keeping them slightly shorter does help with the obvious curves but I want them longer.

    Some of my nails used to curl unevenly like your index nail. Then I discovered that if I filed the unruly ones a little more narrowly as they grow out, they all curve perfectly with the natural bend of the nail bed. In other words, my nails were simply too wide to curve the way I wanted. This has made all the difference with my nails! Also keeping several layers of polish on them both strengthens them and provides reinforcement for the desired shape. However, your nails are so nice, you hardly need any advice on their maintenance and care.

  • @katrinasimon9236
    @katrinasimon9236 8 лет назад +53

    My index fingers curve the most too. From a theory of mind, I think uneven filing is the cause of the corners curving. And if they curve at the sides, it means that your nail beds are narrow and the white tip part of the nail gets spread out / widens as it grows. Once it leaves your nail bed, it gets dry and curves. This can be prevented by filing the side of your nails. At least that's what works for me lol.

      Katrina Simon I definitely agree with this. I've noticed that when I file the sides of my nails, the curve is much ness noticable. The only thing is that my nails don't feel as strong- not like it makes them super weak but just not as strong.

      One of my index fingers does this. With my job, my pointer fingers need filling down or I will break them first. Getting time to trim them all shorter. That's sad for me. I have just figured out how to get them to grow. But that darn curve sure us annoying. I was thinking maybe I injured that finger one too many times.

      @dianerenee9315 5 лет назад +6

      I have this issue with my index and middle finger on both hands. They do this sort of slanted curve. I use to think it was due to me wearing acrylics for such a long time until I stopped and that I had damaged something but I've noticed my mom has the exact same issue and she's never worn fake nails in her life. Our diets are completely different as well so we now assume it's just genetic.

    Mine does this as well, at the moment filing and reshaping as they grow kinda helped but didn't 100% resolve it. right now i cut them short, do my cuticles regularly, reshaping to round and using jojoba oil couple of times a day. I will let know how it goes as they grow
    update 2 months later: currently long nails, I also used gel polish and that actually made it a bit more c curve shaped instead of one side of growing completely other way like in the video. The side is still twisting a bit but luckily it's not that obvious as long as I keep filing. I still use jojoba, reshaping them and yeah, it's looking good lol.
    update 5 months: last week my nails got c curved a bit too much, buffed them yesterday and it's not that bad anymore. Still using jojoba and all the stuff.

    I love the way you explain and then follow up with showing us.

  • @anjaholota7408
    @anjaholota7408 10 лет назад +15

    Nails can curve because they are dry, maybe it would help a little if you use the cuticle oil under your nails and try to keep that are moisturised too? Just a suggestion. And I think I would file the shape of your nails a little at the side walls so that they are as narrow at the free edge as they are at the base. I mean the sides would be parallel lines. Hope you know what I mean :)

    I think the nail curls because your first two fingers are used a lot when picking up things and doing regular everyday things. Like picking up a blanket from the couch or switching out laundry. You may not use your nail but you are turning your hand to the side to pick things up and over time it pushes your nails. I don't know if I explained that right or well enough but that's what I think

  • @calimija4704

    I'm used to keeping my nails long.. I think you need to file the side edges of the tip of your nail that curves... Those tips look more wide, almost like duck nails in comparison to the rest. I think that's why that corner curves down so much. I don't mean duck nails as an insult for any troll looking to start internet fights.

    not to argue with a professional, but I haven't had any trouble with it. and buffing enough to take off all of the stain would leave my nails extremely thin, there are much less damaging ways to deal with staining for those who are bothered by it but since I always wear polish it's not something I particularly care about =)

  • @kraemerashley88
    @kraemerashley88 8 лет назад +10

    Water weakens nails. No wonder you always have to do repairs. This may even contribute to curling. My nails use to curl in from the sides and the c-curve become more narrow as they grew. Not soaking my nails in water, applying polish under my nail, and adding oil to my nails daily help minimize this curling allowing me to grow even longer nails. I also don't have yellow nails and I don't use whitening agents as this can be extremely harsh on nails.

  • @MSLP

    Are you using room temperature filtered water? Also keep in mind that not all polish works - the brand doesn't really matter but every color is different in the water & it just takes a lot of trial & error to find the ones that work well. You want one with good pigmentation, maybe a little on the thick side but thin enough to drip & above all slow-drying =)

    I have the exact same curve on my index finger when the free nail edge becomes about 2 mm long. It is that curvy that the one side even separates from the gel I wear and curves.
    I then trim them down and keep them shorter than the curving is cause I can't stand this.

      Nails curl when they are very dry, just like an autumn leaf--when it dies and falls off the tree, it starts to curl up and break. Your nails do just this when they are dry. When you get out of her shower, your nails have soaked up three times their weight in water. The curl flattens out, but your nails are very soft and prone to breaking or tearing. To combat the curling without risking a nail break, use a high-quality jojoba nail and cuticle oil at least two or three times a day. The reason to use jojoba oil is because it is molecularly smaller bough to penetrate and be absorbed by your nail plate. I use Bliss Kiss Simple Pure Nail Oil, purchased from nailcarehq.com. That website has many articles about nail care and more information about Simple Pure Nail Oil, as well as other nail care products you can purchase. I love the nail oil! It works so well and my nails have never been longer and my cuticles are so soft! Hope this helped!

    • @stephaniefairey8633

Clamp small metal clips (for reports or organizing papers) over the tip of your finger holding everything in place. Then and allow to dry completely. So far reshaping when wet has helped a lot.Anyway, love the vids.

    When your nails are that long you shouldn't use a nail cutter because the pressure it applies as your pressing it down can cause the nail to fracture. It's better to file them down with the glass file and then cut them. Just a little advice :)

      @lastand09 7 лет назад +1

      You're supposed to file in one direction because the fibers that make up nails grow in a criss-cross weave pattern. Filing back and forth causes these fibers to fray (in much the same way the cut edge of fabric looks), leaving your nails more susceptible to cracking, chipping, etc.

      You should never try to "bleach" your nails. Toothpaste is too hard on your nails and even products made to whiten nails causes your nails to become brittle. Yellow nails are just a part of painting your nails, there's really nothing you can do except paint them to cover them up or just let the stain grow out.

    I get the same thing with my nails, only not the index finger nails like you do but my middle finger. My theory is, is that when you have your hands in a relaxed position (when you sleep for instance) the nail that is affected is resting against the pad of the thumb (close your hand into a slight fist, you'll see how perfectly it fits.) The warmth of your hand will set the nail into the curve as nails are made of nearly the same stuff as your hair. So using heat will also uncurl it (temporarily)

She takes clear fishing line and carefully ties it around the hanging nail so it goes into a curve, and then applies the gel right over the fishing line. Afterwards she clips the extra line off and then her nails are all perfectly curved. Her nails are also less flat now, naturally

    Patching is applying silk patches, you do it if your nail rips to stop the nail from catching on anything until the nail is long enough to clip or file. Colette does have a tuturial on how to apply silk patches,

    if you don't do anything, they will eventually grow out, or there are many home remedies or products you can buy - just google nail whitening & I'm sure lots will show up =)

    My thumbs, index and middle finger nails grow like this... I read it means iron deficiency. Is your index finger nail still growing like this, if not how did you remedy this?

    • @MSLP
      @MSLP  5 лет назад +1

      it does still grow with a bit of a curve, but I don't wear my nails as long anymore so it's not as noticeable usually

    is it a nail hardener? sometimes if nails are too hard they get brittle & break easier. I keep mine moisturized, lots of lotion & cuticle oil & I take a biotin supplement - check out my Nail Maintenance vid in the Tips & Trick playlist for my full routine. I do occasionally get a tear or break but you can check out my tutorials on silk wrap patching for how I save those nails =) I do "Naked Nails" posts on my blog periodically where I talk more about the specific products I'm currently using.

    I have had a couple of clients with the bends or curves in their nails like what you have shown here and that is usually due to stress on the nail bed as it is growing out. Your index finger is the most used so it will be the one with the most issues. One thing that I have done, that works is; clip the nail all the way down, put on a tip with acrylic or gel to let it grow back out. This will allow the nail to have a splint as it straightens back out. Again, just a helpful idea.

    I am pleased to know that staining is not bad for your nails. my mum used to day it was because I painted over my cuticles. I got rid of mine by buffing but that can cause the nails to be too thin so will now just leave them alone as they are weak enough already.. Thank you for this vid very informative. :0)

  • @MSLP
    @MSLP  12 лет назад

    yes, but I don't usually bother - even though it doesn't take long it's still basically a waste of time for me =)

    Well I am loving your videos. I do however have a question, I basically had to cut off my nails. =( They always seem to tear at the sides and well I want to start growing them again what do you suggest I use to help with the strengthening of my nails? Thanks for your time and keep the videos coming I will be watching...

  • @Keriedawayy

    How do you keep the index fingers from chipping. I recently grew out my nails pretty far for my normal length and my only problem is the index fingers are just too weak. Help. I do u a strengthener so idk

  • @MSLP
    @MSLP  12 лет назад

    it can work on both - if your nails are weak you may want to file in one direction as I mention rather than back & forth to reduce the strain =)

  • @MSLP
    @MSLP  12 лет назад

    I have tried glue before without much luck - but thankfully after this chop it's grown out pretty straight ... at least for the moment =)

    My nail beds curve like the start of a cork screw so my nails curve in the same way. I can't let my left pinky get long because I have to keep it filed on the outer side and it gets sharp. My ring fingernails are the only normal nails I have all the rest curve in some weird way !

  • @MSLP
    @MSLP  12 лет назад

    pretty much any kind of lotion, I stock up whatever is on clearance. My cuticle oil I usually use mange magic but just about anything will do even olive oil =)

  • @MSLP
    @MSLP  12 лет назад

    it does - but I don't write with my left hand =) my middle nails used to curve a lot too & they seem to have grown out of it so maybe one day my index nails will behave

    I can't believe how many people make ignorant comments without watching. Anyway - I love your videos. Your nails short is about how long mine are at their long stage. I often go bare. I don't even wear a clear coat on mine. This is when I notice the curves more. If I start polishing them at a shorter length the curve isn't as noticeable when they are longer.

  • @MSLP
    @MSLP  12 лет назад

    a base coat can help, but some colors will stain even with a base.

    So my nails grow a bit weird. My nails are pretty long. But when i turn them to the side they always look crooked. Not the nail bed is crooked but the sides

    for most people, nails seem to grow about 1mm/week =)

  • @houseofcreativity1
    @houseofcreativity1 12 лет назад

    I am a licensed cosmetologist and just some info. on nails they grow evenly unlike the hair grows differently due to hair pattern growth and how you sleep. The nail bed and the side walls of the nail beds are different and the cuticles around the nails are different that is why the nails grow wider than others and the curves to them. To prevent staining from nail polish use a base coat when using nail polish. To patch up broken nails use nail glue and used fabric softeners.

  • @isiartdotcom
    @isiartdotcom 12 лет назад

    I have a possible theory about your curving nail.~ eg: When nails are strong they follow the shape of the nail bed which is usually arched and curved. When they are weak they grow straight and splayed. I can control the shape of my 'thin' nails by; when too straight and soft I apply hardener and when too hard I apply more conditioner. Maybe your pointer is thin (weaker) on one edge only, and if you were to apply hardner just to that edge you may be able to adjust that curve by trial and error.

  • @Willowroot416

    So, what supplements do you take to get your nails to grow so nicely and strong?

    • @MSLP
      @MSLP  10 лет назад

      the only supplement that I take is biotin

  • @houseofcreativity1
    @houseofcreativity1 12 лет назад

    It can also be used as a cheap inexpensive way of a fiber glass to help strengthen the free edge of the nails. Also just another tip on natural nails it is best to use fine coursed emery boards or nail files and when filing the nail it is best to use left to center and right to center and a 45 degree angle in the center. I hope that helps but I love your FAQ's and your videos. Keep up the great work!!!! You do give me some inspiration.

    Ive been watching your videos all night and was so excited when I saw the one on nail curling..Bummer you dont know what causes it either. Mine curl as soon as they leave the tip of my finger. Always figured it was because they were so thin but yours are thick and healthy and you seem to be plagued with it too. If you ever find a reason for this I would be eternally grateful. Oh PS.. of all the nail toots out there I like yours best. :)

  • @szamora25
    @szamora25 12 лет назад

    If u r looking for a way to get your nail tips to look more white, I recommend finding a cleaning powder called borax....take a little bit of it mix it with some warm water to make a paste and scrub ur nails with a brush in it...top and underneath...my mom uses this for whenever she's digging in her garden or gets her hands dirty...I have used it after I've accidently gotten food coloring on my nails n it has removed the stain after a couple of washes....good luck!!

  • @MSLP
    @MSLP  12 лет назад

    I've never really had a problem with the corners breaking off - it may be due to them being brittle so you could try to moisturize more with like lotion & cuticle oil =)

  • @MSLP
    @MSLP  12 лет назад

    not really - while some lighter colors can stain, it doesn't have anything to do with how long you have it on

  • @MSLP
    @MSLP  12 лет назад

    yes, I always use a base coat - it helps, but some colors are just worse than others =)

  • @MSLP
