I can confirm these are my nails in the before and after lol! Anna is a lifesaver!

[Lori-Rez-]

I spent HOURS searching for something helpful, because my nails are exactly like this. But I lost hope. Then I stopped looking, and this video pops up 👁️👄👁️ THANK YOU 😩🙏

[juliahill]

I 'm so glad you're showing short nails too Anna. I don't want mine particularly long, just healthy and a nice shape. I've been following you since August and am impressed with how much better my nails are looking. I look forward to doing my nails. I treat it as ' me time' . I've just ordered some oil in a bigger bottle to do the warm oil soaks, as my hands are suffering now the weather is colder. Thank you for your inspiration. Happy Christmas 🎄

I have been cutting my "living skin" 1-2x a week for the past 25 years! To say I'm tired of doing it is an understatement. I'm glad I found your videos. I am getting the Kerasal, the nail sticks and the Glove in a Bottle now. Wish me luck!

[bevmaybe]

I have the exact same problem with my nails as the woman in your video. Your video was very helpful! You have a wonderful, clear way of explaining how to solve nail problems. Thank you!

[GoldenSun]

Finally, someone explains why my nail bed is the way it is. Thank you🎉

[stefaniestar]

I’ve been nudging back the PNF daily for about 2 weeks now and I’m loving how it looks so far.
It looks like I have longer nail beds now😅

[brandymurphy]

Thank you! I was pushing back my PNF too much, then not knowing what to do about the flappy skin. This helps me realize to be gentle and trust the process.

[muuhwi]

Ooh, I‘m so going to try this 😮My grandma used to cut the dry skin around my nails when I was a child and it‘s been overgrowing ever since. I got one of those clippers a few years back and thought that was the solution. People always said, you can‘t reverse this „condition“. Wish me luck for better skin around my nails by 2023 🎉

Im working on this problem right now! I’m using Eucerin 5% urea hand cream at night as well as during the day here and there, and cuticle oil after every hand wash. I also love dexeryl for hands and feet. What I realized I was doing wrong before was pushing back the proximal nail fold too intensely and I was also pushing back the dry cuticle along with it, then I noticed that you gently feel for the proximal nail fold so that the cuticle remains in tact on the nail plate haha. Pushing back the cuticles gives me a slight cringey nails on a chalk board kind of feeling so I’m still working on getting comfortable with the process😂 your videos have been incredible 🤧 I was waiting 5 months for my nail damage to grow out after finding your channel, and with your advice my nails are now so healthy. I finally got to paint them today - healthy grown out nails 😅 I do have a question though - is Kerasal available in Europe?

[lillyrith]

I fear the algorithm so much. Wasn’t typing or speaking out loud anything to do with my nails, just inwardly wondering how to take care of them since they’re all fucked up in exactly the way described here. This video popped up anyway.

As a nail tech, I go to Lori Halloway for pedicure advice for complex clients and you will be my source for helping people with hand issues! I want to focus on restoring health to the nails and skin rather than just quick cosmetic fixes that do more harm than good in the long run.

[heathercook]

Thank you so much for your advice - I have always had stretched proximal nail folds for as long as I can remember, and have been gently pushing them on a daily basis for a couple of weeks now, along with moisturising as recommended. Will the PNF's eventually settle to a more defined shape, or will I have to tend to them daily by nudging them for ever more?! Thanks so much for all your very informative videos.

[stuffroom]

I have this problem but significantly worse than what is shown in the video. I have heard before that this technique is what I should do but when I push my cuticles back like that it does not look like yours or any I've seen, there is so much excess skin it's more of a snowplow effect that just creates a big pile of dead skin hanging off that's way more noticeable and uncomfortable. I usually end up having to cut it off anyway because it hinders my ability to use my hands. This is how my nails have always been and I've tried everything, what am I missing? Is this just my curse fore ver bc thats how it feels lol

[artbarn]

You are brilliant! I've been searching online for answers to my nail problems for years and I am so happy to finally find you. I've been watching your videos and now I know how to get rid of that skin stuck to my nails, as well as treat my splitting, peeling nails. Thank you!

[killjoy]

After following you guidance on glass cuticle pusher, I can safely say my cuticles and PNF are in their best shape 💕 admittedly I sometimes skip softener and kinda just gently dry file the cuticles, but that also works for me, and my polishes aren’t lifting from the cuticles after showers anymore.. in fact, they remain PERFECT for over a whole week without any lifting until the nail growth at the cuticles bother me enough to take them off ❤

[homemadecatstew]

How pretty are her nails now! This gave me hope lol

[chilove]

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! My hands/nails look exactly like that… well a little darker…but exactly like that. Pretty nails here I come🥰.

[LauraHogue-ku]

Your advice over several videos has been life saving! I have been a lifelong nail biter, and I am trying to get my nails just grown out to look decent. They don’t have to be long or gracefully beautiful. lol. In fact, I am a seamstress and crafter, used to using my actual fingertips to do things and can’t stand long nails. I was doing everything wrong, but now you have me on track. I think in a few weeks, with your advice, I can finally keep my nails out of my mouth. It always started as a hang nail or dry skin.
