I have been told or read throughout my life not to file going back-and-forth and not to file the sides of your nail. But I see you doing both and you say that the nails overtime become healthier. This is a new revelation to me.

Yes, please. We want to follow the progress of this client. It's amazing how her manicure still looks so good even after 2 weeks!
And yes, I have noticed myself that regular manicures and polishing improves the look, shape and length of the nails. Why? That I can't figure out either.

I have weird shaped nails like this and would love to see updates and more content about weird shapes! Thanks so much for sharing.

I noticed as well that my nails are way less flat when I wear nail polish than when I don’t ; and I also noticed that the nail bed can get longer quite quickly, which is great news !
Thank you for this new video and all we learn thanks to you !!

Thank you for the link to see her after. The difference is amazing. I am growing out damage from a manicure. The guy actually burned my natural nail with the tool that took off the top layer of my nail. I just wanted a shape and buff. No polish, no fake nails. I’m so happy you care for the health of nails. I wish I could find that here.

I used to keep my nails polished 90% of the time about 10 years ago and my nails were definitely more curved and slimmer/dainty looking. I barely used polish in the last 10 years afterward and my nails have flattened out, especially on my free edge. This makes some nails look “triangular” when polished unless I leave a very visible line without polish on the side walls. I recently got back to nail care and polishing! They are starting to round up more again! I think Simply Nailogical made a video on this years back about how polish protects from daily water damage so less water absorbs into the nail, which can cause it to “swell” and flatten out.

Yes please on seeing more on this client’s progress! I am one that chewed on my nails as a kid and have been in recovery mode for 10 years. And I have only seen progress after watching your videos and starting to implement your tips in a matter of maybe 3 weeks as of now. So yes please!! Thank you!! ❤

These are my favorite videos!!! I find myself in a trance like state… it’s your voice and the shaping … I just find it mesmerizing …. Thank you and omg your at 90k!!! Incredible!! Congratulations!!! 🎉

[shannon]

Thank you Anna! Since watching your videos the health of my nails have improved!!! I’m using JoJoba oil, a diamond nail file and Kerasol at bedtime. I just watch your videos when you are shaping nails and that has helped me quite a bit! 😃 I still need more practice but I’m getting there … I have one nail damaged from dip powder that I’m still growing out 🙁. It split right up the nail plate 😢 I’m trying to be patient…Thank you for all of your wonderful advice and videos!!! I appreciate you!!! 🥰❤️🙏🏾🤗

[naniswatch]

Thank you so much for your videos, I'm forever grateful. I started following your nailcare instructions 3 weeks ago and my nails and hands are already transformed! I have working hands with crooked nails and bent fingers, mimicking your filing technique has already started to affect the direction my crooked nails grow and the shape of my nailbeds. Thank you again!

[lindam]

I'm happy for this client, she's going to love the improvement in her nails and hands as the next few weeks go by!

[Ola]

Thank you for the nail shaping info, it’s super helpful given that many videos on shaping are not on natural nails.

[carolinecameron]

Beautiful and wow two weeks later the shape is seems even better 🙌🏻

[ginny]

I wanted to comment that I’m using oil along with lotion daily on my nails and feet also…. I’ve also started an oil bath for them once a week as you recommended and it’s working out and it’s improving my nails …..❤

[kfryett]

Thanks to you I am learning so much about caring for my nails. Chemotherapy ruined them for me. Great videos x

[jenlambie]

Just fascinating that regular manicures and home care can change the shape of nails. Nothing more flattering than even, uniformed shaped nails, no matter the length.

[bbymks]

I love seeing all of the before/afters! Gives me hope!

[bidinosaur]

I would be very interested for you to create progress playlists for clients like this. I have a couple of nails I am trying to transform. One of them I had a tumor under and hoping the nail will reconnect in the place where the tumor was. This shaping video is actually the most helpful I have seen out of all of your videos for me.

[JJBabbles]

Yes I'd love to see future updates on this clients nailcare journey - especially if the shape/curve changes - it's so interesting!

I'm sure you've addressed this in many videos but I was always told never to file the sidewalls of the nails (sorry if that's not the correct terminology) but I see you do it in this video.
My middle fingernails, on both hands, are very flat & wide, so I always want to file the sides in a bit, to make them more streamlined.
I always feel guilty for doing this 😂
I don't know if I should leave them alone or if I'm making them even wider in the long run? (if that's even possible)

[lisapierce]

Thank you Anna for these informative videos. I’m fairly new to your channel and am learning so much. I love this video content and would definitely love to see more. I am learning so much from you and am so thankful I found this channel. I have ordered Kerasal and soaking my nails in warm oil weekly.
