I love milky/clean nail looks. I have heard that using a matte base coat improves the streaking and emphasizing of ridged nails when applying white based polishes. I have lots of ridges and it does look slightly better with white based polishes. I do want to try the Dior combo you recommended but the price holds me back.

@jillackerman6047 9 месяцев назад

I have used most of these without success. All my nails have ridges, and the only nail treatment that works for me is Hermes. I know it's very expensive but it works! I use their base coat, polish, and top coat and my manicure lasts 2 full weeks.

@achevres 2 года назад

I have ridged nails, so many thanks for this video! My favourite combo is Zoya Lavender Perfector, topped with the Dior Glow! The best is 2 coats Zoya, and one Dior. Sometimes one coat Zoya, and two Dior. Sometimes 1 coat of both, and sometimes 2 coats of both. It really depends on my mood and what look I'm going for. Such a sophisticated look!

I find that Essie TLC colours with shimmer, like Loving Hue and Tonal Taupe, are excellent for covering ridges. I also have a couple of sheer & shimmery OPIs that I really like, Princesses Rule & Throw me a Kiss. But the Essies are a really good choice, because they don't need a base coat, so they're great for a quick fix, if you're in a hurry.

As I get older I see more ridges in my nails *sigh*. I do have two nails that have big ridges from trauma and nothing will hide those except acrylics. I have been searching for quite some time for ridge fillers that actually work…haven’t found one yet! I recently found a polish combo that looks stunning. OPI has a French Man line that looks very smooth & pretty. I like Ja T’aime, which is that milky, sheer, light pink over the OPI Matte top coat…..!. That matte top coat under the Polish does something special to the Polish that hides the ridges❣️

I know this is an older video, but I wanted you to know I have purchased a few of your recommendations. I am loving the Dior Abricot base coat. It gives a lovely smooth surface to my nails which looks lovely on its own. I will try it next with Nails Inc Glow Naturale which is another product I love, and purchased last year because the Dior Nail Glow was sold out everywhere at the time. I also purchased the Cuccio Pomegranite & Fig cuticle oil together with a set of empty twist up cuticle brushes and have decanted the oil into a few of these which I now have in every bathroom so I remember to use it after each hand wash. This has really helped with my hang nails. Just waiting for my Kerasal to arrive. I have noticed such a difference in the health of my nails since I have been following your videos. Thank you for sharing your knowledge 💕

@sandrastreifel6452 2 года назад

I like your trick of using Shellac in Clearly Pink, over base coat, then my nail ridges are smoothed out for something like Satin Slippers. I used to love lacquer French manicures, but now I only use gel. It does take a really good formula of lacquer or gel, to show a consistent sheer colour, especially if you’re not painting on a smooth base!

@Pneumarose 2 года назад

This was very helpful for applying sheer polish in general. Appreciate you :)

@BlueJeansandJellyBeans 2 года назад

I think the pinkie looks the best in the video for a clean clear look. I love milky polish too and the do work well for hiding ridges. If I have them too long though, they tend to go on thicker and do not hide the ridges as well. I was glad to hear you say that pinks sometimes fade to beige. I thought I was seeing things and I have even some earthy pinks that fade to brown unfortunately.

@VMETuran 7 дней назад

For my nails I recently mixed a couple of drops of a pearlescent pink nail polish into my base coat. It's a little glittery and bright but subtle. I find I never use the light pearlescent polishes because they make the ridges stand out so so much.

I really like Cirque Colors Organza as a more warm toned sheer. It doesn't seem to streak on me at all so should be fairly good for more ridged nails, mine are fairly smooth though so I haven't tested it on really ridged ones. They have a couple other undertones of sheers that are really popular too. Would not recommend linen though, it leans more on the streaky side so would probably be a mess on ridged nails!

What an amazing video! You guys are too fun 😂 Anna you’re a lifesaver!!! I just now learned about doing thinner coats-I was doing the opposite to try to cover my ridges and no wonder they were getting more pronounced! 😢 I’ll do this next time I go for milky/ natural nails 🤍 I just got the Dior Nail Glow and though I’m disappointed my whites didn’t look whiter, I’m loving how they feel and they look so cool and different outside 😍😍 I have two coats on. Next time I’ll do one base coat (don’t have Abricot yet but maybe I’ll get it eventually) plus the Glow 🥰💖 Also, my previous manicure I did three coats of Essie Marshmallow and top coat and they looked really good and smooth 😌 Much love Anna and Mr. Salon Life! 💕

Thank you so much for your kind words ❤️ The Dior Nail glow simply makes the nails look fresh and makes the nails look less yellow (nails naturally have a bit of yellow color). It does not correct nails that are yellow from nail polish.

I really like Essie polishes but I had two colors that I had to repurchase because they completely faded and lost their pinky color. (They were not old, less than a year, but who knows when it was manufactured.) Your "Sheer Fantasy" looks way less pink than mine too. :( I also had Ballet Slippers, I noticed it faded a lot and lost its pinkiness. I repurchased it and it is more opaque and streaky. :S I really don't get it. I am a huge fan of sheer and jelly looking neutral colors, but it is really hard to find a good one. Essie Fairy Tailor is also really nice, a warmer pink, a bit more opaque than Sheer Fantasy but still sheer, but it is a bit tricky to apply nicely. Nice sheers that I really like: Essie Vanity Fairest, Allure, Sheer Luck and Catrice More Than Nudes 06 Roses are rosy is amazing. Oh and there is another one from Catrice too which is GORGEOUS, it is called Perfecting gloss nail polish. It comes only in one shade, a light sheer cool pink and it has the most amazing rosy-slightly gold teeny-tiny microshimmer and it applies like a dream.

A blue based, cool pink would be the best if you want to optically brighten your nails. Sheer Fantasy is quite a cool toned pink if new, the one in the video looks quite faded already. As per my experience they tend to fade sadly.

@TheSalonLife 2 года назад

I would say use a brightener under the polish if you don't mind that "glow". Nothing will get rid of the yellow but the whitener optically brightens them. I don't find Zoya purple corrector makes any difference. They still look yellow and purple. I have to say that Dazzle Dry does not yellow the nails at all. That is a huge benefit of that line.

I love sheer polishes but don’t ever wear them. The reason is that I have multiple ridgy nails. With sheer polishes, even if you use a ridge filler and it helps the sheer go on smoothly, you’ll see the ridges through the sheer polish. Of course you will. I don’t mind seeing ridges on others. I fully understand it. I just hate the imperfections on mine. 😂 I have other imperfections, too. Ana Seidel of My Bliss Kiss has something she calls a Fab Five Wrap. It calls for two coats of a ridge filler. I’ve done the Fab a five Wrap almost since I started polishing in 2016. When I do two of a ridge filler, I still see the ridges with the ridge filler on. However, I do not see the ridges with the colored polish on. The ridge filler helps the polish apply smoothly and evenly. I can even wear creams and won’t see the ridges on my nails when wearing a ridge filler. I think flakie polishes are the easiest to apply and the best at hiding ridges. Oh, and I know someone in the Fb polish community, Heidi, that has very ridgy nails. Worse then mine and worse the Mr. Salon Life’s. You can’t tell, though when she has polish on. She uses ridge fillers. As a side note, she does lovely nail art and is one of the most helpful people I have found. I really like the polish on Mr. Salon Life’s pinky nail. It especially looks good outside.

I haven't seen Rimmel polish in forever (US)! Years ago it was easy to find in Walmart. It was a great polish and very inexpensive. Did they stop exporting the the US?

I have terribly ridgy nails caused by Fibromyalgia. Some of my Shellac polishes look so streaky!

I think the effectiveness of the ridge fillers would be easier to see and judge with solid nail colors.

@TheSalonLife 2 года назад

Hi Chris :) This video was more about which sheer polishes can still look good for people with nail ridges. Many people have ridges and they would still like to wear sheer polishes.... :)

Why don’t you smooth the ridged with a nail buffer?

I'm guilty...i use a nail smoother on my ridges. I just make sure not to take off too much nail. Nothing is going to camouflage my ridges🤷🏾

It would be more beneficial to use someone with actual ridge-y nails

@TheSalonLife Год назад

Hi Steph, maybe the video didn't pick it up well but I have super ridge-y nails. No joke I have horizontal and vertical ridges. My nails remind me of a plaid jacket (lines everywhere). Hope you're having a wonderful Friday! Cheers!- MSL

@joanshealy1662 2 года назад

Horizontal ridges in the nails could be a hidden health issue in the body consult your physician

@dorisottley3004 2 года назад

What you should do is nourish the body back to how it use to be, when we were young. I heard different Dr's say once you turn 20 yrs. The body starts to be depleted of vital vitamins and minerals so if you weren't putting it back into our bodies, there's a whole lot of terrible things thats going to start happening in our bodies. Also our hormones. We should eat a vegan or almost vegan diet.

Not liking the middle finger and ring finger. You can see the lines. Not very opaque.

@TheSalonLife 2 года назад

Hi Carol. This was not supposed to be opaque and cover the ridges. A viewer was asking how to get the clean, sheer mani with ridgy nails. Many sheer polishes will make ridgy nails even worse because they streak. These are the colors I use for clients who want that sheer and very natural “almost nothing” look
