#BOYDECHANEL
I've always had very weak nails that consistently peel and break. I'm not a fan of gels and acrylics. I prefer my natural nails, I've seen a massive improvement in my nails from following the watching this channel and following the tips provided. Plus I find your guys so entertaining! Thank you for helping me turn my nail health around. :)
Can’t wait to see the final look!
I really like the sound of the glass file here, can't wait to get one myself
I’m a woman and I like that. I love doing my nails because is relaxing but I don’t like the done look even shine top/base coats leave. I like clean natural look. That’s perfect. Thank you for the review
Very clean, polished look!
I use these glass files for trimming longer nails and I love them ,use the other files with 350 grit for shaping , I find that works better for me.
I have an OPI glass file and a Londontown glass file and I love them. Also, I just purchased Barielle Hydrating Ridge Filler to see if it will help the appearance of my nails. I'd love to wear this Chanel shade.
I am absolutely thrilled to see you trying out a glass file! I'm a huge fan of my new Germanikure moon shaped file and the Germanikure detail file with the pencil-like point. The moon file has a concave inner groove that allows me to file along the sides of each nail and smooths the skin along the nails. Also the moon file helps me achieve a perfect curve to the free edge. I've noticed I have far less chipping and peeling of my nails using such fine grit glass files. Since they're glass I have to take extra special care not to chip the glass tools, but Gernamikure include suede cases to keep tools clean and safe between uses. Amazon has a Germanikure store and it's easy to order their products for Prime shipping in the US. Also, I just placed my first order with Dazzle Dry to continue my nail care into 2022. I saved a bunch of money using your affiliate code too! Thank you for all the inspiration, education, and entertainment Anna and MSL!
Thank you so much Suzanne for suggesting the glass files. I found a company here in EU, in Czech Republic that makes these files (Mont Bleu). They seem very similar to Germanicure. I ordered few files to try and I think I will order Germanicure kit from USA as well and I will compare them. Thank you for sending me all the info about Germanicure and your detailed description of the files. Very helpful!
Wow what great progress with Mr SL’s nails!
Thank you Rebecka :)))
I mentioned the glass files! They are great, especially for shortening/shaping natural nails. Also, I purchased the DD mini flights that were available, 2 sold out. I work during your lives, otherwise I'd be there more. Great video!
Yes it was you Jennifer, I remember because I commented that they might not make me cringe the way metal files do!
I'm envious of that file, looks so easy to use minus the pointy end. I got a cheap glass one from Amazon, I want to say five years ago now, and I am a convert. It is so much easier and quicker to file nails, even though it is the thicker and harder to use version you mentioned
Good to hear that it's lasted you for so long.. :) The one I used in this video wasn't that expensive either. It was like 9 euros for 3 files.
Love this video! Loving your content ❤️
I've been really obsessed with natural nail care as of lately. I'm so glad others are interested as well and are finding our videos helpful :)
I’ve heard such great things about the Mont blue!
I ordered few more files and a foot file :). I will be doing a full review soon :)
As a girl, I'd use this with a gel effect top coat. Would be a great minimal groomed look.
Ouuuu, like the Essie gel cotour top coat.. or the Dior one!
True but then any base coat will do. The beauty of this is the satin finish, very natural looking.
@@TheSalonLife Ok will keep in mind. Thank you!
Also didn’t you say that it doesn’t last very long?
TFS! I've been looking at Germanikure for a while and really want to order. They're pricey but seem totally worth it for professional use. They also have glass cuticle sticks which are supposed to be amazing. Before and after pics are great. Besides the obvious cuticles, there's a noticeable difference in nail bed color, texture, length and even width!
Hi Karen! I will be ordering the sticks from Mont Bleu as well, they have the same style. You know how I'm a firm believer of gentle manicures, so I would be a little afraid of changes in the color of the nail plate. That cannot be changed and shouldn't be changed. Darker shade (more pink) of the nail plate suggests thinning of the nail plate. PS. You cannot change the color of the nail bed, that's the part that is underneath the nail plate. The texture of the nails also shouldn't change. Unless there is a damage that is growing out. Length of the nail bed changes when polish is worn usually and has nothing to do with the cuticle removal and skin care. Not trying to be negative but some companies go too far with marketing.... ;)
Thank you for this video. My son has a disability and has been chewing his nails. I'm trying to get them back into shape and will use some of your suggestions.
You guys are hilarious! 🤭
So….much……better!!!! The sound is a big improvement, 3/10 on the cringe-o-meter vs 10/10 with a metal file! No zipper-feel either, it’s more like butter. No gritting of teeth 😬, no goose bumps or hardening of the headlights! I have an old one I never tried, I’ll dig it out. What a magnificent improvement on MSL’s nails! Bravo!
Hardening of the headlights 🤣🤣🤣
Lol “hardening of the headlights” 😂 😂 😂 I think the glass file sounds better in real life than on video. Please let me know how your file works for you!
😂
It worked really well! Nice smooth action!! And no HOH 😅😅😅
I have the exact same glass file from Mont Bleu and it works nice for my very thin and bendy nails. The pointy tip is useful for taking down any skirt left under my nails from filling. Thanks for all your wonderful videos. I've learned a lot. Please show us how you clean the nail polish rezidues from the bottle necks, after doing your own manicure... I can't do it with wet/freshly done nails. Maybe you have a tip for not messing up the polish on the nails...
Thank you so much Ioana! I will be honest, ask someone and use a lint free pad or even an old piece of fabric (like cotton fabric that is not fuzzy). You don't want cotton pads fuzzies getting into the nail polish.
Oh dear, now another product I think I need. Ordered the foot file and Blue Cross last night through your links and waiting for delivery.
Thank you so much for your support ❤️🤗
Anna, would this be ok to use on my ridged peeling nails while I try to get them in better shape? I’ve been using the CND Rescue Rx for a few weeks. I’d been thinking no polish for several months until the worst parts grow out.
All your videos are so informative! Love them . What are your thoughts on nail brushes . To clean the nails ? Are they necessary?
I like a simple but elegant manicure. I haven’t splurged for the Dior or Chanel YET! 😛 Just curious, have you tried any of the Orly French Man yet? (There are several sheer colors in the line). I just ordered “Bare Rose” & “Je T’aime”….❣️❣️
I love how healthy and natural this looks! You have the most knowledge I have seen when it comes to natural nails on KZhead. I have always had very thin, soft peeling nails that are dry and are pretty much impossible to grow past my fingertip. They seem to peel worse when I wear nail polish. What do you suggest I do?
Hi Lu! Thank you so much for your compliments! Could you send me a picture of your nails? thesalonlife[at]gmail[dot]com I agree, I have seen nail polish making the nails worse for some people. Very sad indeed. Maybe something like Mavala would help? Are you in USA? Here is a link. amzn.to/329ES4D This product contains Dimethyl Urea which is a nice hardener. It bonds the layers of the nails together by cross linking it. This can be used once a week or so... It's just a liquid, not a nail polish. Then you could use CND Rescue RXx amzn.to/3rv9CFB It feels like an very light oil and it has ingredients that help to bond the top layers of the nail together. Another thing that one of our viewers had good results with was Kerasal Multi-Purpose Nail Repair, Nail Solution for Discolored and Damaged Nails amzn.to/3KleLZH Of course I would recommend nail oil as well after each time you wash your hands. Staying away from harsh detergents and soaking your hands in water. Quick wash with lukewarm water and gentle cleanser instead. I would be able to tell you more when I see your pictures. Also, obviously nothing replaces good diet and health in general. Diet rich in protein seems to be helpful when it comes to skin, nails and anti-aging in general.
@@TheSalonLife Wow!!! thank you so much for your detailed reply. I will send a photo when I get a chance!!
I really like this look! OMG what a difference in MEL'S nails!! Doesn't seem real! How did you stop biting?!!? I have a couple biters in the house and nothing I've seen suggested works!
So asmr
Great job once again! Love watch you work 😊 You say you don’t recommend buffing. Can buffing the tip of your nail help stop/lessen already pealing nails?
Hi Micha! Buffing the ends will smooth them out but it will not fix or help peeling nails. Peeling ends of the nails suggest damaged surface or when nails are soft- a weak bond between layers of the nails (in that case nail hardener with Dimethyl Urea would be a great idea. It permanently cross links the nail plate)
@@TheSalonLife thanks so much for your response! I will try that.
Hi Anna, can you name a particular example of one please?
Is the Boy de Chanel dupes video live yet? If so, where can I find it?
wow that before and after is amazing! I wonder if I can convince my husband to let me help his nails. His before is worse for sure.
I gotta get a buffer block!
Yes, but be super careful with it, don't buff the whole nail plate, you want to keep as many layers of the nails as you can :)
@@TheSalonLife will do thank you! I have ridged nails like your hubby lol
I like a very thin glass file, like fx Nail Tek (my favorite one) or OPI’s. But as you know, if you drop it, it will crack. I have tried it too many times on my Stone floor in my bathroom :)
I can't remember which one I had... but it also broke (while I was filing my nails, which freaked me out) another one broke when I dropped it on the counter. So I gave up but I'm revisiting the idea.... Good to hear that OPI and NailTek are thin... are their edges very round though?
@@TheSalonLife omg, i’m sorry. I didn’t see your comment before now. I only have the OPI file and Herome’s big file. I’m sitting with my OPI right now. It’s not totally square at the edges, slightly rounded I would say, half and half :), but I have no problems with it when I file the sides of my nail. It does the job. I use the Herome file on my toes. I’m not a prof and only do my own nails, so maybe you will have a different experience.
I bought a cheap glass file in H&M the other day, but allready gave it away as it was so thick and really rounded at the edges. Didn’t like it at all :)
HELLO ! I love all your videos. I just discovered your channel two to three months ago and I've already watched majority of them...Anyways I was wondering if you have regular nail polish on your nails or is it gel polish? And if it is regular polish, how do you avoid getting acetone on it so it wouldnt mess up?
Hi Amanda! Welcome :) Thank you for writing! I wear polish, just a clear coat usually. Right now I'm testing on the left hand one coat of Essie Hard to Resist and 1 coat of Dior Nail Glow. On the right hand American Classics "Yellow Stopper" When I use acetone I usually wear gloves and when I wipe the nails with alcohol I usually don't as the alcohol doesn't really affect nail polish.
Oh ok….The only time I am able to watch is at night when my little one sleeps. So therefore no sound for me. Lol. Let us know how the testing goes !
Wonderful video! What cuticle pusher are you using?
Hi Andrea! A generic one. I like it because it's not too sharp. Anything will do though :) Just be gentle :)
I use my opposite thumbnail! LOL, on myself, that is!!
Hi Anna, Hi MSL. I was just thinking how nice MSL's nails looked and then you say it and show that pic. What an improvement! I bought a glass nail file, and I didn't like it. It's too thick so I couldn't get under the tips of my nails to get rid of the skirt after filing. I also had issues with trying to get the sides of the nail as well as the dried/hard skin. Does yours have a thinner, beveled edge to it? I see how you did the sides, I'll try again. So what's the name of this glass nail file from here that you want? :) I love the finished nails. I may have to cheat on ORLY and buy a bottle of this stuff. Happy Friday :o) - Laurent
Hi Laurent :))) How are you? We got the files from Mont Bleu here (made in Czech Republic), they seem very similar to Germanicure I'm thinking about getting One of the viewers Susanne swears by the Moonfile The file I have is actually not bad when it comes to the edges. It's 2 mm thick so I think a little thinner than what I had in the past. Thinner files are more prone to breakage though You were talking in the past about Orly "Nails for Males"? I can't find it anywhere, did they discontinue it? Have a wonderful week :))
Any dupes for this particular nail polish?
Hm... The concept of this polish is a quick coat that I super natural looking. I bet you can achieve a very similar result with a semi-glossy base coat. I will go through my stash and I can make a video :) Would you be interested?
@@TheSalonLife thank you ! ❤️
Is there a good dupe for this Chanel polish?
Honestly I think so, one of the base coats I have for sure but I have to compare to see which one :) Video coming soon :)
@@TheSalonLife thx
Is there a dupe for this polish? TY
I was hoping Essie Smooth-E base coat but it yellowed my nails (the base coat alone, no colors) 😢
Is there a boy de Chanel dupe?
Hi Tina, not to our knowledge. - MSL
Are you both wearing the Chanel?
Hi Patricia! No, I'm wearing Essie Hard to Resist + Dior Nail Glow on my left hand and American Classics Yellow Stopper on the right hand (testing stuff;)
🤩🤩🤩♥️♥️♥️❤❤❤
Thank you Tammy! ❤️
I don't understand how the nail beds got longer and nicer in shape. (?)
Once the nails are healthy, they do tend to transform! Nail biters always have the best transformations, as the nail bed has a chance to “repair” itself. Proper care and attention to detail are key, Anna does a beautiful manicure on MSL!
Shelley above is correct. He used to bit his nails so they improved but I also find that constantly wearing polish extends the nail bed and somehow (I don’t know how) it makes the nails a little more slender. My nails without polish are definitely more flat
