For USA viewers, you can use Dazzle Dry base coat and Top Coat. It dries instantly and it's very gentle on the nails. I use it for my clients with damage prone nails and I see great improvement.

  • Dear Anna, I just want you to know that your videos mean so much to me. Not only are you educating us on how to properly care for our nails but you also inspire me to make time for myself. I've neglected my nails for as long as I can remember but I've come to a point now where I just want beautiful natural nails. I now make the time to care for myself. Thank you for being here🌺💜
  • @trammy1
    Yes to the weekly manicures!! I am loving this new series!!
  • Yes, weekly manicures! I have been improperly manicuring my nails in one way or another since I was a child! (Including I would cut off the living skin!) Eventually I started going to salons where THEY improperly manicured my finger and toe nails for years. I had enhancements on my nails for years at a time. It’s a miracle my fingernails and hands are as good as they are. I finally found your channel on YouTube a few months ago, and I am enjoying learning about my nails, nail beds, and proper methods to make them healthy.
  • @iNanieke
    As a nail technician in training, it's good to know the basics and learn to use simple tools before moving on to the more complicated ones!
  • Yes, weekly manicures, please. This was great working on my nails along with you made it so much easier. I felt a lot more confident and just like doing my nails with a "girlfriend" made it so enjoyable. Thank you so much!!
  • I’m doing my manicure along with you and still learning how to shape my nails. As you say, the more we do it the better we will get, so I’d love it if you did one of these videos every week!
  • @CourtneyAugust177
    Please do weekly manicures for those of us who like natural nails and cannot afford to get our nails done professionally! I have just discovered your channel and I’m looking forward to your content as I have always been ashamed of my nails and just thought I had “bad” nails 😢. I’m feeling empowered that I can learn from you and help my nails and my confidence in my hands/nails. Thank you for what you do 😊!
  • @DonnaBreenC21
    Just wanted to let you know that I’ve been a nail biter my whole life. I’ll be 60. I had acrylic for the last 10 years and decided to quit. It really was your videos that kept me holding on and not going back. My nails were pure mush. It’s been about 6 months and I’m never going back! The warm oil soak I think is what made the difference.
  • @itslowtide4690
    If you had Patreon, maybe you could round up a bunch of people who want to have a Manicure Monday or something - over Zoom - we all do our own manicures with you 🥰🥰🥰
  • @Keapix
    I would love to see weekly manicures. I’ve never had a weekly routine, but I’d like to start.
  • After over 30 years of acrylic nails and damage, I am watching your videos over and over to bring my nails to their real, natural beauty. It was a challenge for the first two weeks as they were so ugly! But - I am determined to get them healthy and beautiful for a 76 year old senior. Thank you for these videos!
  • @user-sk5gp5kp9w
    My nails have changed as I age- it’s been painful and frustrating! Thank you for sharing how to keep your nails healthy!
  • @Mony0425
    I would love a weekly manicure to ensure I am getting the self care in. I enjoy your vids and learning so much.
  • @RachelDee
    Anna, this is EXACTLY what I’ve been looking for as I slowly get more into keeping my own nails manicured
  • @elishagifford
    I’ve been binge watching your videos since I found you. I recently quit years of dip nails with gel liquids. I’m about 3 weeks all natural. My hyponychium is still a little overgrown so I can’t go too short without experiencing pain. I’ve been doing weekly gentle manicures and I did my first warm oil soak today. I do wish I could find someone local who cares about the health of natural nails as much as you do. Thank you so much for these knowledgeable videos! They truly do help so much 🖤
  • @anncleary8148
    Yes please weekly manicures and thank you for giving us your expertise and time.
