I just want to say I really appreciate all of your videos, they are super relaxing, satisfying and informative. Very high quality, you give a window into the real world of natural beautiful nails. I love that you demonstrate many regular polishes in your videos, as in my opinion they are very underrated when today it is all acrylic or gels. Please keep up the good work! :)

The base coat-nail glow combo is beautiful. Most natural nail application I've seen on here.

I recently found this channel and I like it because you talk about how to use natural nails and normal polish! Thank you! Thanks to you I will be trying Dior and CND.

[ajssab]

I have changed my nail care routine completely after having found your videos. Thank you for the content and sharing your knowledge. I purchased Dior Nail Glow and I absolutely love it! And I watch till the very end 💅🏻

[susanphend]

I discovered you recently and have been binge watching your videos. I love your approach to short nails! I did watch to the end, too. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and expertise with us. ❤️

I watched till the end! I will have to check out the Boy de Chanel. I just bought some Base Coat Abricot after watching your video last night. Saks was having a one-day flash promotion for 10% off in beauty items and I got some!!

I didn't know what to expect from BDC so that was a cool reveal at the end! Clean but not over the top! Very subdued!

[happyoneable]

Loved this review! I am thinking of adding the base coat abricot and I really liked the boy de Chanel look too. It feels so nice taking care of my nails! Thanks so much Anna. Also, after that beautiful view of the ocean, I may need to re locate to Spain!😊

I enjoyed watching your video. I've just started using Dior Nail Glow, and I LOVE IT. I have naturally long, long nails and I like to take a break in the winter months from dark nail color polish. Dior Nail Glow polish works perfectly for my manicure and pedicure. Polish lasted 2 weeks on my nails before peeling off on the tip; however, the polish still on after 2 weeks on my toes.

So glad you video came up in my search! I was looking for a comparison of snow prink vs petal pink. I got that and so much more. I'm so ready to receive my order of petal pink, looks beautiful in a single coat and will finish with a to coat of Dior Glow, which I wouldn't have tried had I not seen your awesome demonstration. Thank you so very much!

I like the Boy de Chanel. Makes the nails look healthy. 😊 So I put 2 coats of the Dior Glow on my nails and I did not like it. 🙁 It was too pink for me. So I saw you put it over a base coat in one of your videos and that’s what I did. I love the look! I have a base coat from a New Zealand company called Kester Black. It’s their Miracle Treatment base coat and it has a pearlescent finish. The overall look gives my nails a beautiful pinky-pearlescent look but my tips are still white. 🥰

Your hubby is amazing letting you do his nails..btw his nails look great

[susanstewart]

Very helpful. Dior needs to revisit their top coats! Love the 1 coat Abricot Base with 1 coat Nail Glow for a natural healthy look. Silly question here but what is so special about a "top" coat? Couldn't you finish with a coat of Nail Glow? Is the prolonged drying and denting/smudging problem a result of the number of coats more than the product itself?

[Marta_Maeldeis]

Nail glow on top of Abricot 500 and 800 is my favourite combination recently.
The secret review at the end 😹

[clothildea]

Thank you for these very informative videos. I love your content ! I heard they were reformulating all dior nail polishes ! I hope they won’t mess up with the nail glow 😮

[DavidTretheweydtreth]

Thanks for the Essie comparison. Both colors are fantastic.

[josiewalk]

What a beautiful view, Anna! I like the Boy de Chanel polish.

[laquerisma]

The fact that I can see a beach and palm trees in January makes me happy.
Dior lacquers are amazing and top notch though the square brushes should be nixed. Chanel does not offer as good a product and their brushes are not up to snuff. For the money you spend on a bottle of polish, they should all be round and chiseled.

[kathiehein]

I like the look of Boy de Chanel! This is the first I have ever heard of it. I want to try this!

[l.m.n.]

I've discovered I don't like the top coats but love both base coats and the nail glow. I get what you are saying about the top coats either cracking or shrinking. I find the gel top coat also gets super thick quickly in the bottle, bubbles easily, and I think takes forever to dry. I went back to my Sally Hansen top coats. New favorite combo is the snow pink ridge filler (1 coat), nail glow (2 coats), and Sally Hansen top coat (1 coat). It's been fun experimenting but I'm happy to have settled on the best combo for me.
