You mentioned the shine of the nails during the video,would you expand on this?
Hi Sonja, thank you for your question! These type of bendy nails for some reason usually are naturally very shiny. They really benefit from a hardener. My client's nails in Canada really approved with hardeners and I've seen it over and over...
@@TheSalonLife thank you for your quick reply...I suffer from this type of nail...I get tearing and breakage in the mid nail...as well as peeling on the tip of the nail, it's painful... I wear gloves when doing any housecleaning.. I am going to give this product a try and see if it helps...I appreciate what you teach and share...
@@TheSalonLife I agree - mine are also super shiny, but soft/bendy by nature.
Dear One, Who is helping me so much and giving me hope. How do I contact you to send you a picture of my nails? Dot
These are literally my nails. The only difference is that I don’t have peeling on all of my nails. Her skin/cuticle area even looks like mine. I’m so excited to watch this!
Thank you so much for answering my questions and for your kind words, I really appreciate it! I got the Mavala scientifique and I’ll definitely update you on the progress!
Can you please update?
Any update?
Not done watching, but thank you for this. I’m in mid 60’s fighting this for decades! I have a lot to learn!
I have the same issue, soft, bendy, peely & see through. Have my entire life & am healthy. I don’t come in contact with water often but still moisturize regularly. I rarely use polish or hardener because it seems to make it worse. I take biotin and all it does is grow them faster but not thicker. So frustrating.
This was me. Nailtique formula two or two plus in the purple bottle saved them. You're supposed to start with the two in blue bottle but I went straight to two plus in purple. I've tried everything else. This is the only thing that worked for me.
@@denisenj7648 have you tried supplementing with Vitamin K2? I’m starting to wonder if that will have an impact on nail strength.
I needed this! Peeling nails have been a problem for me for years.
Thank you so much for your advice, it’s really been a great help 🙏🏼 My nails are even worse than hers, I have had the trouble for at least 10 years. I bought the 3 products as you mentioned, used every day and now after 3 weeks only, I can see it is much better, I can go to work without destroying my nails. Thank you so much 😊
I love your little cartoon on the thumbnail pictures for these videos. So cute!
This serie and your advice are such a blessing! I have the same issue, so thanks to this lady, I won't need to send you a request :) OPI nail envy sensitive really helped me, less breaking, but not so much with the peeling. I have started the Mavala scientifique K+ last week, I'll stick to it, add lots of oil and hand cream, and see what happen in the next months. Thank you Anna !❤
I have the same issue as your mum, hard thumb nails and very soft bendy fingers nails. I'm so glad you mentioned not painting the thumbs because I've just bought the product and was wondering what to do about my thumbs. Very informative video
I had the same thought. My thumbs are harder than the rest of my nails, but still a little bendy. I just use it on my thumbs every second or third time (so half as often as my other nails) and I'll probably space it out more as I go.
Glad to have found a series regarding nail care. My nail dilema is a bit different. My nails are hard, usually grow fairly well, but I do seem to always have one or two nails that are peeling. I was never sure why they peeled (until watching this video). I wash my hands often, moisturize them with an emoillent handcream every night before bed, and thought filing down the peeling/flaking until it appeared smooth was the answer to stop the peeling. After watching this video, I realize I should not be using nail hardner. Not sure about the filing/smoothing down the peeling nail . . . might just be spreading the damage further down the nail. I'll take a look at your other videos to see if they address my specific issue, but I definitely need to start using nail oil every time I wash my hands.
I swam competitively awhile back... It was so hard. Being in the pool for hours made my nails so weak, and the peeled and broke like crazy. I never knew why, but now I know- Ty!!
This channel just made my day. My nails are exactly like these pictures and I've tried absolutely everything. Thank you so much for the advice and products!
Od pierwszej minuty podejrzewałam, że jesteś Polką :) Twoje filmy są bardzo bogate w informacje! Dużo się uczę, dziękuję!!
Dziękuje Kasiu! Serdecznie pozdrawiam!!
Love your accent. We Poles are awsome.
I just ordered this product through your link. I have the same problem! My nails peel like crazy and they bend with the wind! I can’t have any length for this reason and it seems it’s gotten worse the older I get. I am a health care worker and I wash my hands or use hand sanitizer at least 15-20 times a day(I see people in their homes). I am definitely giving this a try. Thank you so much for your info!
Thank you for this video! These nails look so much like mine in bendy texture, peeling issues, even shape.
This was a very informative video. Thank you.
Love this series. Thank you so much.
So excited to try this. This has been driving me mad for years and has stopped me from being able to grow my nails much longer than the end of my finger.
Another terrific video, thank you so much for sharing your expertise with us ❤
Thank you Jo ❤️🙏
My nails are in very similar condition, so I ordered the nail strengthener. I will also put a nail oil pen by each sink to remind me to oil my nails after washing my hands. Thanks for the advice!
This was a very informative video. Thank you
I’m loving this series Anna, thank you so much! I had this problem with my nails a few years ago and I tried many different treatments and Mavala was the only thing that helped with this problem, it’s great stuff and it definitely works ☺️ xx
Hi Margaret! So good to hear that Mavala worked for you. Which one did you use? The original one or the one with Dimethyl Urea?
@@TheSalonLife Hi Anna! Thank you for your reply. I used the one containing Keratin, which is the Urea one I believe. It really worked wonders for me, my nails were in really bad shape. I also use Nails Inc Nail Kale as my base coat, which is expensive but definitely worth it ☺️
Anna, I finally know your name! The Salon Life is great, but *this* new channel is the answer to sooo many questions! Much luck to you. BTW, your expertise inspired many new nail-care purchases from my friends and me!
Ah, thank you so much for your very kind comment. It made my day! So nice to read this first thing in the morning!
Have a great day and again, thank you! 🙏❤️
Beautiful nails! I look forward to an update. ☺
I cured my weak, brittle, bendy nails.
I blamed my age, lack of vitamins etc but once i stopped using nail varnish regularly they soon hardened up and grew fine.
Really helpful thanks for sharing 🙂
I could have used this information a few years ago, when I was working at a lab. I had that exact same problem ( that picture could have been from me!). Thanks for explaining how the hardeners work. I actually had that one and thought it wasn't working, but as it would seem, I was using it wrong. Great video! 👍
Thank you so much Marina! ❤️
How were you using it?
V informative video! Thank you!
Great information. I am learning so much from you. Thanks
Thank you kindly for your comment!
Thank you for this. My nails are just like hers!
My nails are like this! I will try this product!
Thank you so much! I’ve had this same type of nail problem for years (a little worse) and have tried countless products!! I ordered the Mavala through your link. I’ve really enjoyed this series, and am excited to see if this helps!
Hi Christine! Please take some before pictures and please send me an update in 1-2 months. I would love to share your experience with viewers!
I show here how to take good photos:

@@TheSalonLife I will!
I love this videos because I can learn from different cases and I love the pictures because it gives me an idea of the problem. I have the same problem in my nails so I’ll try the product for sure!
Also, could you please make a video on nails strips?
Hello Yule! You mean ridges?
These are exactly as my nails, except mine Peel mainly on the 2nd and 3rd (middle) finger. Thank you so much for your advice Anna 💐 Mavala helped a lot to improve my nails
Woah! I always thought shiny was good! Because if the buffer thing. I do have this nail type AND my thumb splits in the same spot every two weeks or so no matter how short. Been doing this for almost a decade now!
Love this series
Thank you Tracy!! ❤️
Thank you for this wonderful video! Your explanations are always so thorough and easy to understand. When you say to apply the oil, do you mean just at the base of the nail or can oil be absorbed through this product once applied? Thank you 🙏🏻
Thank you. My nails layer in the same way but they are brittle. I find using a hand cream worked around the nails, each wash, works AND when going to bed..socks on top of hands 😉.
This is incredibly helpful! My nails look exactly like this and the skin around my nails too. I'll be trying out this routine cause i would love to have unbendy she's peeling nails.
I love Malala hardener, I’ve used it for years. And my nails look a lot like those, so I will go back to it.
Working in a hospital and also working with horses, I’m using water and hand sanitizer frequently. I also have bendy and splitting nails and it’s so frustrating! My nail polish chips off so easily. This was such an informative video!! Thank you so much for posting 🥰 I ordered some Mavala and am excited try it! ❤️
Thank you so much for these precious advices you give us, Anna. Your channel is unique on RUclips.
I had mavala, but seems as I didn't see results, so maybe I used it incorrect way.. , so maybe I will try again.
Waiting for new videos 🌸
Hi Larisa! Thank you for your kind words! Are your nails soft and bendy and how did you use Mavala Scientifique (which one did you have? Original or with DMU?). How often and for how long did you use it for?
@@TheSalonLife Anna, so kind of you to unswer!
I used mavala scientifique k+, maybe 1/3 of a bottle 2/3 times a week, after I stopped (1,5 years ago), because of pregnancy. Now my nails are in the worst condition they've ever been, peeling..Thanks to your advices to use oils, I repaired a little bit cuticle, because it was demaged. Now I know I was filing nails incorrect way.. I'll try send you a photo and participate in project 😊
Thank you! 🌸
Mine are doing this as well! Mine were perfectly smooth until last year when more texture started appearing.
Glad you made this video. My nails don’t peel as much as this, but they definitely bend every once in a while and I’m guessing it’s primarily water exposure when my nails don’t have polish on them.
Thank you.
this helped my nails, thanks
I'm so glad! Thank you Katie!! ❤️
Hi Anna. Excellent tips. I had the same problem and my nail polish was always chipping.
I've grown out the damage and now I'm ready to start painting my nails again. How do I keep my nails from getting damaged again? Thank you.
It's also worth mentioning that eczema can affect the nails as well.
Hi R! Usually it’s affecting the skin around the nails which is not visible here. I think the nail would be affected if the skin around the nails was affected. I’m not a dermatologist though it’s my guess.
Here is a helpful reference I based my opinion on this (Korean study)
www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7992676/
W jednym z komentarzy dowiedziałam ze jesteś Polką wiec pisze po polsku.Dziękuje, baaaardzo pomocny filmik dla mnie .Mam podobny problem z niektórymi tylko paznokciami (dosłownie 3-4 wiąż te same 😂. Znalazłam tez odpwiedz dlaczego, otorz moje dłonie często maja kontakt z woda .Korzystam oczywiście z rękawiczek,ale czasami się nie da 😩Już zamówiłam wszystko co polecasz. Cierpliwie będę czekać na efekty. Serdecznie dziekuje za wiele cennych informacji, obejrzałam większość filmików bardzo mnie zainspirowała Twoja wiedza,cenne i spokój z jakim nam ją przekazujesz . Pozdrawiam z New Jersey .
Dziękuję bardzo serdecznie Doroto! Ciszę się ze ze informacja się przydała. Proszę napisać po jakimś czasie jak się sprawują produkty, czy pomogły :) Pozdrawiam!!
Oczywiście dam znac 🤗
Her nail are very similar to mine in terms of her issues. I was lucky enough to find Nailtiques over 20 years ago. If I use the Formula 2 as my base coat and top coat and throw on a coat anytime the ends of my nails are exposed, my nails do really well. I highly recommend it. And I will try the product Anna recommends here as well.
To clarify, if my nail polish chips or wares away from the ends of my nails and I don't have time, or feel like doing them at that moment (happens a lot because I do physical therapy in the pool, often late and it can ware me out) I will do a coat of the Nailtiques over the messed up polish. It keeps the layers of my nail from separating, flaking and peeling. If I leave it uncovered overnight more often than not, I'll get a big layer flake up and peel of and then that nail is totally flimsy again until that grows out. And I know that the same thing can work differently for different people. I only know what gives with my nails. Anna is the one who really knows of course.💜💜💜
Hi, Anna. Thank you so much for what you do. I’m learning so much and am very grateful. One question….what causes tears in the proximal fold and is the only way to try to eliminate or heal tears oils and/or kerasol?
Also, I’d LOVE to learn how to file and shape my nails. You mention in one video that you don’t follow the free edge. I’d love to learn how to file/shape my nails so they look professionally shaped.
And last, I’m a terrible nail polisher. I’ve invested in DazzleDry polishes through your link and am determined to get better at polishing my nails. I’d love to learn any tips and or tricks you might be able to share.
Thank you, thank you, thank you, Anna! 💕
Ditto on a nail shaping video! Your manicures always come out so well shaped. In the meantime, I look forward to all the knowledge I’m soaking up from this nail series. It’s awesome 🌟
Very good, thank you. My nails were peely for years after chemo.Adding healthy fats to my diet put a stop to it. I found taking a couple of capsules of Talyala Emu Oil a day improved my nails and my skin. Also I rub the same brand of oil into my nails keeps them nice. I always wear gloves washing up, and if my skin is dry, I wash my hands with Cerave moisturiser, instead of soap, and that helps the skin round my nails repair. I don't get anything for recommending that oil, I just wish I knew about it sooner, having damaged nails really upset me and finding it helped me so much I just want to share. It also helps my hair. Our indigenous people in Australia have used it for hundreds of years for many things, I love it on my face too. Thanks
Hello Joh! You are correct! A proper diet and generally a good health has a lot to do with condition of the nails.
Healthy oils and plenty of protein too :)
@@TheSalonLife thanks, thankyou for your tips, really encouraging. I also am attempting to grow out the sides of my nails, which would peel off too. I have found leaving the sides more of a square shape has helped with that too. So, straight at sides with a slight curve and then flatter across. It has allowed the nail bed to grow out more.
Thank you so much for this video! My nails aren't exactly like this lady's but I think I would definitely benefit from the Mavala on the few troublesome nails I have. Will look into it! What is your opinion on the Eveline nail strengthening treatments? They're a Polish brand I assume you're familiar with.
Hi Doris! I don’t know Eveline brand that well. I have some products from them, I have to look online for the ingredients of other treatments they have.
I was born in Poland and spent my teenage years there but most of my life I lived in Canada so I’m not that familiar with Polish brands :). Hope that will change now since I live in Spain (easier to obtain these products)
Loving this series Anna! Are you familiar with Nail Tek products? I have number 2, 3 and 4. My nails don’t feel soft or bend but they do peel from time to time. Do you think these are good products to use? Blessings from Australia 😊
Hi Ri! When the nails are not bendy the best thing you can do is oil, a small dab every time you wash hands.

Thank you Anna! These videos are so helpful. I have thin, bendy nails and when you said that water can cause a lot of damage (swelling and then shrinking) it all started to make sense! I was constantly having to have my hands in water (no gloves) for a few years (not anymore) and I think that may have made my condition worse. I bought the Mavala K+ but didn't get in to a routine of using it. I will def do so now. Do you recommend 3 x week?
My routine is morning: shower and then Mavala Cuticle Oil on the nails, then a hand cream. During the day (if home): after washing put on hand cream after washing hands (I don't wash excessively). Night: jojoba oil before bed. Should I be doing the jojoba or cuticle oil more during the day?
I did have a home gel kit and used that over Xmas but then it peeled off and it damaged the nail. Nail polishes peel off too. Wondering if that has anything to do with the moisture in my nail? I was going to go get into a routine of a salon manicure but I am now holding off until my nails are 100% perfect. This series of videos are so helpful to so many!! There is nothing like it on youtube or any other social media site. Thank you ❤️
I think, from watching a few videos, that putting oil on every time you wash is more important than a hand cream ( I try to do both). I have oil that is in a nail polish type bottle with a similar applicator so it’s easy to carry around with me. Good luck!
I started using Mavala and see effects. Thanks for great advice
Great to hear! How often are you using it? And the original Mavala or the one with Dimethyl Urea (Keratin +)?
@@TheSalonLife I've been using mavala K+. I am following your advice to use it every other day at the beginning. I am a nurse and wash my hands all the time and my nails are weak. I started about 10 days ago
I have nails like this and they’ve been like that all my life. I’ve just purchased the hardening liquid so 🤞🏻
Ana your nails are beautiful too
Ah, thank you! Some of my nails are. My nail beds are very uneven. Ring fingers have a beautiful nail bed and the others are ok and the pointer fingers are stubby lol.
I do appreciate how healthy my nails are though :) Can’t complain :))
Thanks Anna! I will try this too!
Hello Donna! Your nails don’t seem bendy to me. I’m not sure you need additional cross linking. Are they?
Yes. But just my thumbs and index fingers.
I love this series! I would so much appreciate your take on what's going on with my nails (also soft and bendy, with some cloudiness and redness on a few and some tiny dark dots/line on others). I haven't polished them in months and have never buffed them! Would you be interested in taking a look? :)
Hi Mariana! We'd love to see, please send your photos and information to thesalonlife@gmail.com
Thanks so much! - MSL
I have been battling peeling nails awhile. I thought it might have something to do with my thyroid, but I am not sure. At one time my nails were great but no longer so I ordered the harder and some oil. I do a water exercise class so I will be taking the oil with me to apply when I get out of the water. Thanks 😊
Thank u 💓 💗 💖
Thank you Tammy! ❤️🙏
Hi. I watched your video with great interest. I have never been able to grow long, strong nails. My nails have always been soft, and they tend to split a bit different than the ones shown in the video. They always split at the very end. Sometimes the just bend backwards and break very low, towards the nail bed, or even below the nail bed. When I’m on summer vacation, and use a lot of sunscreen, and the air is a bit more humid, I’m able to grow my nails a bit longer, and they are a bit stronger, bit it won’t last long after I get home. Do you think nail hardener is the right thing for me? And what kind of oil do you use for the nails? Is jojoba oil a good choice?
And another thing… after reading another comment… My nails are quite smooth on the surface, and very shiny, naturally. I never use nail polish, because that always makes them split more easily.
(P.S. I live in Scandinavia where the winters are very cold and dry, and the air is never really very humid unless it’s been raining.)
Thanks for making these videos. I have some similar problems with my nails (bendy, peeling). I have a quick question about the Mavala products: if both the original Scientifique and the Scientifique K+ are available in my country, would you recommend one over the other?
Hi Caitlin! I would choose the original because I feel that I can respect the instructions, i know how to keep it off the skin I know how it works and I would know when to stop it.
If you are new or unsure (obviously still follow the instructions to your best ability) maybe use the one with Dimethyl Urea.
Send me a quick picture of your nails (thesalonlife@gmail.com) with the topic “Mavala” and I will have a better idea what to tell you :)
A friend of mine has eggshell Nails what can you do for them cuz I've been trying and nothing helps
Does Malala hardener work on breaking longitudinal nails?
Hi, thank you so much for this video...wondering which oil you would recommend?
Hi Mrs Mum. I'll leave you a link to some of the oils we recommend.
www.amazon.com/shop/thesalonlife/list/2URV014LQVZFN
Hope this helps! - MSL
what kind of polish remover should one use. I use 100% acetone because it takes polish off quickly?
I love your videos they are so informational and helpful and truly you make it easy to understand your in-depth information. Is it safe to be using the Mavala scientifique k+ while also using Kerasol on my nails? I have been using Kerasol on my feet and a little of my nails weekly, basically every time I take a shower since I do not leave the house as often I take one about every 3 days, or 2 as needed basically. I bought the kerasol for my feet, I apply it with my bare hands and so I just rub excess on my fingers. I have been doing this for about a month and I have noticed that my nails are much harder than before when they are not as moisturized, moisturized hey are still bendy and soft but not as much as they used to be. When I expose my hands to any water (literally less than 30 secs) they do get super soft and bendy like they used to be. My nails still grow and peel of course, since I am using Kerasol I'm afraid of putting too much urea on my nails if I also use Mavala + I usually rub 10% niacinamide on my body as well..so with all this will my hands suffer from over exfoliation? If you prefer a picture and email I will do that as well, thank you!
Hi Crystal, shoot us an email! thesalonlife@gmail.com
Thanks! MSL
My nails peel and crack when I use certain skincare products, ie, retin A.
First of all thank you Anna for making such videos. I also want to ask what is the best app to buy nail strengthener from (i use the opi one) as i live in India and the opi nail strengthener is not available in my state.
This video is for me! I just found your channel & I have a question. What oil do you recommend to use with this product. I can't wait to try your suggestions. Thank you!!
Hi Laura! I have a list of oils listed below the video and in the Amazon store but you also can use pure jojoba oil mixed with some sunflower oil, grapeseed oil and avocado oil. Ceramide rich cream is also great addition.
I am currently growing out my nails from lack of care (not salon damage), and they are soft/bendy by nature. I have both Mavalas. My nails do better with polish, as without it, those ends that are growing out easily separate and peel right on the very edge with any wear and tear. Polish seems to prevent that. I oil and moisturize a lot, and it doesn't seem to matter for this type of peeling I get right at the edge - unless I have polish on. I am keeping them super short right now to keep my tips in better shape as the old nail grows out regardless.
My question is should I leave polish off and use the Mavala for a while (and risk that fraying edge), or should I use the Mavala Original weekly under Dazzle Dry to help keep the layers sealed and still provide some strengthening?
This is what happens to me, just a day without polish often sets one nail back. I’ve been using the Mavala with the formalin as the instructions state once a week for that one. I let it soak in for 30 mins then spend a couple of hours reapplying jojoba oil, then apply my polish for another week. I’m finally having some results.
Mine are exactly the same! I need to keep polish on them or they peel.
@@Michelle-ol3iq thank you for your reply! That’s exactly what I decided to do. I have a fresh Dazzle Dry manicure on right now in Rose Quartz after using the Mavala original, and I’m about to oil and kerasal up for the night. The manicure looks lovely even on the 2 stubby nails that have broken and peeled! 😍 I’m happy they can still look good and be protected while the older, lower quality nail grows out. How long were you doing that routine before you felt you were making progress with your nails?
I have been using the opi nail envy (for soft and thin nails) for quite a long time now. I just wanted to know does the nails goes back to how it was once you stop using it or we have to continue using it atleast twice a week?
Thank you very much for this information. I'm a post menopausal 61 year old woman who is suddenly dealing with most of my fingernails peeling. I use rubber gloves whenever I wash dishes. This winter I made a batch of beef tallow body butter and that has helped my skin, but not my nails. I've been working with a lot of paper since January, which has dried my hands out, and I'm fairly certain that is the cause of my peeling nails. I'll buy some of the Malvala and follow your suggestions on how to use it. What type of oil do you suggest to put on my nails post washing?
Hi KitchenFairy (love your name!)
Are your nails soft and bendy?
If the paper dried out your skin for sure it dried out your nails.
Here is a video I did about ridgy nails and I would apply the same care to peeling nails if they are brittle and hard.
Mavala is great for soft nails

Hi Anna, I'm loving this series as a layperson who is still struggling with peeling nails and following your regimen. This client's situation appears similar to mine. Water damage. I wash my hands often while cooking and am in the swimming pool three days a week for water aerobics. I use oil, lotion, Kerasol as you recommend; and keep my nails short. I apply a layer of Dior nail glow before swimming to minimize water soaking nail plate. What can I do to stop water from bein absorbed into the nail plate and then causing the peeling? Thank you. I started the regimen in June and heard you say it takes six months to grow out the nail. Yikes!
Hi Denise! Are you doing the warm oil soaks weekly? You’ve used Mavala 3 times a week and it’s not helping?
Hia both! I missed the live last night, will u be posting it this week at some point?
Hi Carys! Pls email us thesalonlife@gmail.com and I will send you a link :)
Try Nailtek 2 and Nailtek 3 nail treatments. My long nails were bendy, chipping and ripping! Tried OPI Nail Envy, Sally Hansen Lift preventer etc, all the cheapo Ebay Korean nail strengthener etc. Nailtek 2 saved me. Now my long nails 💅 are strong and don't rip at the sidewalls so much! I'm soooo happy 😊! Nailtek 3 and 2.
Also avoid filing nails 💅 too much. Silcare Flexy and Silcare Color It! are strong inexpensive gel base and topcoats that help long bendy nails! And use cuticle oil, I use coconut 🥥 oil, almond oil! And eat plenty of vitamins! UK 🇬🇧
@@asboukcomfortable1670 i exactly have the same bendy, chipping and ripping nails right now and i am very worried about it.. help me💅
how great to have found your channel! my nails are hard, but they splinter and peel. do you have a vid for me to watch?
Hi Andrea! Thank you so much for your kind words and welcome!
If your nails are hard then you need flexibility so lots of oil. Ideally after each time you wash your hands. Just a dab. That and urea based cream at night. I have links in the description to Kerasal for example. Urea/Glicerin/Salicylic Acid/Vaseline. Nice and moisturizing.
@@TheSalonLife I don't see a link for Kerasal...? I promise I looked!
I have the same problem. I cut my nail short to get rid of the peeling. Otherwise it just gets worse.
the liquid one sounds like a nail strengthener. would you say that is basically the same as a hardener? or am i misinterpreting something?
Just going through your videos as recently found your channel,which im enjoying very much,my question and advise id like is my nails are now peeling like this now ive started to swim is there anything you could suggest for swimming i use opi but its not protacting them i would like to continue swimming thankyou
My nails have been soft and bendy all my life. However, there have been 2 times in my life when they started growing strong. The first time I was sick and drinking meal replacements (Ensure) every day for a month or so. More recently, I’ve been taking prenatal vitamins for fatigue and my nails are growing stronger again. I’m not going to take them forever though, and will go back to my normal multi soon.
I’ve taken women’s multis all my life and my nails didn’t grow strong with just those, so I just have to figure out what nutrient from the prenatal is helping them grow. I don’t know if it’s wise to supplement something you don’t need just to get strong nails though. I don’t know if my soft nails are just genetic or the result of a chronic deficiency.
Thank you for your videos! My nails peel and I have 3 that split down the middle. What do I need to use to stop the splitting? I keep gel polish using a led light to keep them together, because even cutting them very close, they still snag on things. Does this light harm my nails? Thank you!
Hi Patricia, the light will not harm your nails but improper use of the gel definitely can. Here's a video I did about allergies

Here is a video I just did about caring for ridgy nails

Are your nails very bendy and flexible? Or hard and brittle?
Macula Scientifique is £13/$18 for a tiny 5ml glass bottle! Budget girls like ml volume! Use Nailtek 2 strengthener and Nailtek 3, the whole range works! And use Silcare Color It! basecoat and Silcare Flexy topcoat to make bendy nails strong! UK 🇬🇧 30.12.23
Would you be able to recommend some other nail hardeners that contain Dimethyl Urea, please? Having a difficult time finding any.
Hi Olivia! Dimethyl Urea is difficult to find especially in a liquid form actually. Where are you located? The Mavala is not available to you?
I love the knowledge you have. I have a problem with my nails being thin and grow downward. But my middle finger nails grow sideways. Could you help. Thank you so much
Hello, thank you for writing! What you describe is quite common. The shape of the nail can be uneven and it becomes more visible when the nail gets longer. It's quite normal.
They probably say to apply the liquid hardner to the tip of nail, because it absorbs through the nail and into the skin.
Probably so you don't overlap the product too much and cause too much "hardness"= brittle nails.
Hi Anna thanks for the video! I have a question. How long should I use oil after water, before use nail polish again? Thanks!!!! 😊💅
Hello Gracia! Oil can be used right after hand wash if you are not polishing your nails. If you are going to polish your nails- wash your hands and don't apply oil
Hope this helps :)
I have been using the Mavala original and CND Strengthener Rxx. It's working (thank you!), but my nails are turning yellow. What's causing this? I'm not using any other product except oils and creams for nails.
Hi Anna, what do you think about formaldehyde in nail products? I never purchased any Mavala product due to its presence… I’d love hearing what you think. Thanks!
Hello Silvia, more info in the description box :)
Important info about formaldehyde/formalin from Doug Schoon bit.ly/3sHLFu2 bit.ly/2Ob3kuY bit.ly/3KVDkvR
My nails are a hot mess! They have the small lines going up and down as in this video, the area of skin right above the nails is always damaged looking and often times sore, when I try letting my nails grow out, several of them start getting wavy? And finally my left thumb has pretty bad damage. I think at some point years ago I tore part of my nail off so theres like a split where part of that nail grows at a different rate as the rest of the nail. When it gets long enough I just pull it out. Difficult to understand without a picture Im sure! 😂 Im going to try applying some of these techniques because Id love to start doing my own polygel nails at home but I want my natural nails to be as healthy as possible first.
Thank you Anna for the video. Is this product safe to use during pregnancy?
Thank you!
In my view (and I’m not a doctor) all cosmetics are safe when used as according to instructions to be safe. If they were unsafe you should not be using them before pregnancy. Also many women don’t know right away when they are pregnant. That’s just me. But my advice is to follow the instructions, read the labels and ask your doctor :)
@@TheSalonLife thank you Anna❤️❤️
I keep my nails short. Even then the corners of some nails will snap off or there are lifted areas near the sides off the nail. Former nurse so alot of hand washing and sanitizers in the past. Been retired since June 2021.
I presently do a manicure once a week. Purchased the glass nail files and cuticle pusher. I use Orly nail defense and jojoba oil as often as I can. Any suggestions? Thank you
Hi Judy! How often can you use your oil? :) Are your nails flexible or hard? Please send me pictures maybe? Do you ever buff your nails?
@@TheSalonLife I use the oil 4 times a day on average. Since the nail corners snap off I think they're hard. I do not buff my nails. I will send you pictures. Thanks for your reply.
Is there an oil you recommend? (I’m in the US) thank you for an informed video!
Hi Nikki! Yes, I have a list of stuff I personally have experience with, the list is in the description under the video :) Anna
Thank you! #newsub
Do you have any health conscious low chemical vegan polish or nail treatments you recommend?
Hi Meghan! Everything that we touch including pure water is a chemical. The point is not to avoid them and be scared of them but to know how to use them correctly.
I do recommend Dazzle Dry as a line of nail polishes because from what I experienced it’s very gentle on the natural nails. It doesn’t cause any yellowing either.
Other polishes are good too , they are not going to be “unhealthy” despite what the fear marketing advocates tell you.
Vegan by the way doesn’t mean better or healthier. It just means that doesn’t contain animal ingredients. Many plants can be allergenic and many ingredients that are vegan can be very allergenic too.
White sugar, white flour, palm oil are all vegan but you wouldn’t be basing your diet on these items right? Vodka too lol.
My nails look just like these. I am 65 years old and they have always looked like this. I don’t have excessive water exposure. I’ve always thought that they peel, crack, and break off because they are so soft and bendy. I was a long term nail biter too. I was told my nails would always be ruined because I bit them to the quick. I stopped in my early teens. Surely they would not still be damaged by this?
Hi Lisa! I used to bite my nails and I know many people who used to bite their nails and unless really really extreme I don’t think the damage is that permanent. If your nails are very soft and bendy then maybe trying hardener will help? And lots of oil, that really protects the nails
Is there a particular oil you recommend?
Hi Connie! Whatever you can be consistent with but here are my favourite oils:
Cuccio Limetta amzn.to/3M8T6nG
California Mango Oil (smells yummy) amzn.to/2ZEdI0R
Avocado oil (great dropper) amzn.to/3pO9YVj
Orly (great dropper) amzn.to/3dvdv8p
I can’t seem to find any info on nails that are hard but the tips peel. I do wear gloves and oil my nails but a few of the nails mainly on my left hand still peel 🤷🏼♀️
I've got exactly the same problem. I work in a laboratory and wear examination gloves for several hours every day. My nails on the left hand peel especially on the thumb, the Index and the middle finger. I use nail creams and oils every day and wear nail polish since two years with only short pauses between.
I love to wear polish so much so I don't want to take it off for a longer time and I had the same problems before wearing nail polish.
Hi MAANicure (love your name!). Are your nails bendy and soft or hard and brittle?
@@TheSalonLife Thank you 😘. Because of the peeling I wear my nails very short so I can not say if they are soft. The tips are brittle, but the rest is shiny. I think, that my main problem is to wear gloves the hole time and the hands are sweating in the gloves. And I'm mainly a lefty, so the nails on the left hand are more used for opening reaction tubes etc
