      Nails are jewels,not tools.. This is my chessy statement every day... If your nails are tools, they will be lifting, chipping, peeling, breaking and weaker.

    Wow Kelli, I thought I was the only one who files their nails vertically, it's hilarious that you do that as well! I feel like I have more control over how much length I'm taking off when I file that way. I actually just run the pointy end under my nail to take the residue that's left over from filing, away once I'm done with filing. 😊💖🙋🏻💅🏼🙋🏻💖😊

    I have been watching your videos and I think you are a professional in this area. Like many other people leaving comments I like your advice. I find glass files work great and leave less rough edges to clean up. Also I have followed those five tips you suggested for many years and have always had success with lasting results. Even as a professional stylist with my hands always in water and various chemicals the polish usually lasts. But a year or so ago I started experiencing splitting and chipping nails, so I began using the professional product brand called Gelish and now my nails have stopped breaking and the product lasts 2 to 3 weeks. They use the same steps you have given. Thanks for your great instruction.👍🏻

    Hi Kelli, I got my GERmanicure file from Amazon today. I love it! I’m retired so I got the one that says I’m Too Pretty To Work, lol. Perfect for me right now. I have a Nail Tek but it is a tiny one. It works well but is too tiny. Ok for small repairs, but not weekly filing. Thanks for the recommendation.
    Oh also, if you don’t want to patch with tea bags, the nail techs I worked with in the salon used perm papers. Those little square papers you slide onto the hair before you wrap the section in a perm rod. They work really well. Sally’s BS has them. One of your other licensed cosmos may have already mentioned them, but just in case. Happy Sunday! Blessings!

      You’re so welcome Kelli! Something hit me while doing laundry yesterday. I think you could also try using laundry dryer sheets for patches, but the unscented ones. I think they add powder to the scented ones, so sticking to the nail could be an issue. I’ll give it a try next time I need to patch and will let you know how it works. Blessings! Really loving my GERmanicure file.

    • @KelliMarissa
      @KelliMarissa  5 лет назад

      If your "smile lines" (the line that marks the white part of your nail) are uneven, it might be easier to file with polish on, so you can see how your nails look with polish already. I used to file with polish on but I found for me personally it's easier to tell the shape without polish on. Hope that helps!

    Hullo again! I found your channel when I was nervous about attempting to salvage my broken nail with a teabag trick. Now, two manicures and tea bag applications and one nail shape change (from oval to kind of mini-kitten stiletto/pointier than oval, whatever that is? 😅) later, I find your videos very useful again!! My whole life my Mom has had square acrylic nails, so square this blind girl at my church likes to hold her hand during it so she can enjoy the strange shape! I've been unsure how long I can grow them out in that shape, because I think it's considered less strong of a shape than oval. But since I'm cutting all of them super short (my broken nail was in the quick two weeks ago, ouch!), I may try something new! I love a French manicure in a square shape! or a black glossy/matte French, which feels super chic! Maybe a few "trying something new" videos would be interesting. I find your manner of having doubts but seeing how things go, discussing things and explaining your reasoning behind everyday things is interesting and it lets your personality really shine. For anyone who likes your sense of humor and general manner that would be extremely entertaining! I also enjoy the kind of, "Does this happen to other people too?" things you add in your videos. Girl, if I had a nickel every time my eyeliner rebelled on me, well.... I guess I'd have a whole lot of nickels. 😅 I ordered a crystal file last week and it's en route. i wish it could have gotten here in time for this! Oh well, one must go into battle with the weapons on hand. Keep being awesome!

    Omg, I never put that together! I used to always only file my nails, because I hated the way they looked if I cut them. I'd end up filing them even and clean anyway, so I figured, why not? For whatever reason (I think playing guitar) I decided to keep them really short for a long time, so I started cutting them. My nails never used to break, and now they break constantly! It's horrible! I have super strong nails, and they grow really quickly, but the chipping and breaking all the time is driving me nuts! It started when I started clipping them though, and I never put that together as a reason! Thank you so much! Down with the clippers!!

    After have chemo treatments, my nails went from awesome to hideous. They were thin & brittle. I have ridges horizontal & vertical. About 3 months ago, I began taking Hair, Skin & Nail supplements along with massaging Vit E & coconut oil in my cuticles nightly. Wow, what a difference! There is 1 problem I haven't seen addressed yet. How about nails that grow crocked on the fingers? As a child, I bit my nails to the cuticles. Due to the constant pressure of my teeth against my nails, they grow off to the side. How can I shape them to make them look less crocked? I have small hands & squared tips look best on me. I just started watching your videos & am learning so much (at the old age of 59)! I am totally in to nail art too. Love the gradient/ombre look. Help!

    • @KelliMarissa
      @KelliMarissa  7 лет назад

      +S Davis wow, it sounds like your body has gone through a lot! It's awesome that you were able to grow your nails and cuticles to be healthy again :) as far as crooked nails, I don't think that having a biting habit has affected them - it's usually due to an injury where the nail plate grows (under your skin). Most frequently I hear people say they slammed their fingers and that their nail started to grow crooked from that. My best advice is to file your nails so that they look straight when polishes, not necessarily making the white part of your nail even.

    Yeah definitely want to see a video of how to make your nails grow more quickly! My nails grow about 1 mm every 90 days and they are very thin and not that healthy. I find it so interesting that I just started watching nail videos a week ago and it seems like everyone has their nails rounded or in a very pointed witch like shape which I totally hate. So I decided to take my square nails which are almost exactly like yours and make them rounded. Oh boy was that a mistake because I can't stand the look of rounded pointed nails especially if they are long. Very rarely can I apply nail polish without having tons of bubbles is there a hack to prevent this? I'm going to be getting some nail polish thinner to see if that resolves the issue.

    In addition to a video about growing nails fast (please) do you have one or can you make one about nails that grow in uneven curves? Is there a vitamin or product to take or apply or a technique to use or is my only remedy to stick to overlays? I never polish my bare nails because it eccentuates the odd curvature at the tip. Please help!

      +quitecute3 I think the best solution for that is to file your nails to where it doesn't have that curve - the shape of your nails can disguise curves! For example if your nail curves to the left, you can file that curve off so you have an almond shape.

    My nails seem to split/flake if they grow past a certain length. Then they break. Do you know why? Do you know something I can do about it?

      +Isabel Ragland hey Isabel, I've actually got a video about how to strengthen your nails - it's in my Nail Polish 101 playlist!
