Totality agree on this one Ana. Nails are so important when it comes to looking classy and feminine. Love your video’s ✨
Love the new profile of @school of affluence yt channel
Finally lol I been asking for this .
Anna can you make a video on why You moved to Switzerland and how it's living there✨☕
Hey anna, is it okay to not apply any nail colour? Just maintaining nails like short length and clean nails....will it do?
My mum always told me growing up that you should never paint your nails a shade you wouldn’t wear as lipstick.
This is major!
Damn!
Lol I sometimes wear some wacky colors when I’m by myself lol
Such a great tip! I love it
Makes sense.
Shorter nails to me are more functional and still appear beautiful.
Very true. Topped with some cuticle oil and a good moisturiser 💅🏻
You can have the most beautiful nails, but it won't look very put together if your hands are dry.
Reaching out to my hand cream as I type this 😊
I think so too!
I play the guitar so i can't grow nails and i'm happy with my short clean nails
@@shunai935 Same! When i started playing I had to cut mine short so I got used to it. Now I prefer them short.
@@IEVAKambarovaite What’s the best hand cream you’ve found?
As a manicurist myself I would say, please schedule your removal/repainting in time. Girl, you are not looking cute or elegant after 3 weeks growth, even if your nail polish is intact. Nails grow. If you don't have time or money to expend in nails, make sure at least you take care of your nails at home. Some cuticule triming, hand cream, oils, can do wonders. Also, keep your nails healthy by having good eating habits, dont chip off your nail polish yourself, its going to damage your nails.
As a Manicurist I too agree. You can buy cuticle oil at beauty supply store too to keep your cuticles moist. :)
Don't trim your cuticule, just push them back a bit.
How many times should we do manicures? Every week or 2x a month?
The best way to make sure this happens is if you do them yourself!
@@rosamermaid6984 you cut the dead skin hanging from the eponychium so you don’t get hang nails .... the cuticle is the protein buildup on the plate :)
I agree with neon colors being tacky and juvenile, however I believe a deep dark green/blue/ color can be elegant even though they're not natural colors.
My favourite pedicure colour is navy blue.
Absolutely!
I think so too.
I love earth tones I truly do like browns and reds and maybe like mustard color nothing to loud I don’t like that
I think teal can be fine too, it has that retro vibe.
Video idea:Elegant Perfumes & how to choose them
Ps. Thank you Anna for your efforts
Best rule for perfume is: Perfume should be discovered, not announced.
@@pirhan thank you for the response. I'm from a different country and have no experience with perfumes. I'd love a few recommendations.
@@amshudadominic9470 It depends on your body chemistry and personality. What smells nice on one woman may not on another and if you have a bubbly personality, you'll want something more floral. You can ask at the counter if they have any free perfume samples. My store gave me near a half dozen of various brands and the ones I liked the most are Narciso Rodriguez Eau De Toilette and Dolce & Gabbana Definitely
@Amshuda Dominic Definitely try lots of samples before deciding since good perfume is over $100/bottle.
@@pirhan thank you Pirhan! I'll definitely keep your Advice in mind!
I used to like really long nails! now I like short ones better
Me too! Mostly because I started playing the piano 🎹 again. ☺️
Most men (upper middle class in Boston) have told me they prefer shorter, but that’s just my experience with that demographic
Dito 😂😂
Same 🤝
@@shannonmoore4201 guitarist here! Let's keep our nails short and classy
I had these same rules for myself for years but it became very boring. I like to change my nails once a week and enjoy matching colors with the season or holiday. 💅
I hear you!. I used to wear French and nudes only, now with these lockdowns going on, I’ve been getting this hobby of experimenting all sorts of colours on my nails......😢
…and it’s nothing wrong with that!!!
I agree. For the first time I got a neon orange - i’m in L🍊VE 😩
When it comes to fashion, I have my own seasons. I’m still in the phase of Preppy/Sophisticated/Classy looks, but it’s summer here in England, wearing muted colours and style during the summer especially, can become depressing.
So neon orange it is 🤩
When she said "my dear elegant ladies", i felt so special and elegant~
Finally, someone who addressed the long tacky nail issue. Thank you for this video. I would like to see one on foot care and pedicure as well. Nothing ruins a look more than being head to ankle elegant, and having unkempt feet. Thank you Anna for all you do.
Yes! Like do you need to match your nail polish on your hands to your toenail polish?
ohh yes I would also love to hear anna talk about pedicure
I wouldn’t judge too quickly, some people have medical conditions which makes foot care extremely difficult, like diabetes for example.
Now let's address the long tacky eyelash issue too lol
@@roses495 Yes! It's also getting out of hand
Clicking the like button with my holographic kitty claws😭
🤣
Right, liking the video with my long red marble nails. I'll never give up my long nails 🤣
Me too! Holographic polishes are the only ones I wear if I'm not wearing that I'm wearing a neutral polygel color.
😂 😂 😂
Lmao
Reasons why DIY nails is best:
1) Saves money and time!!!!
2) you can buy good quality nail polishes which will BE WITH YOU
3) you can quickly fix your nails at home.
4) you will learn to do nails and be a pro at it!!!
Yes!! I became a pro after quarantine to the point I do a better job then the nail salons, it’s a lovely hobby I never knew I would love so much 💗 I use to spend $100 every 2weeks at the salon now I have a whole gel kit for $40 that’s been lasting me for the past 10 months
I DIY my own nails, except I go for crazy colors and long, almond shapes with nail art. 🤣
Same! I've been doing my nails for about 3 years now.
@@HabitualLover I agree with the rudeness and racism sorry you feel that way but I love art so It doesn’t feel like work to me an the more I was consistent the faster I became ....I hope you don’t give up 💗
I've only ever done my own nails :). It's fun to do during my self care days.
The most elegant people are those who don't judge others on their looks and treat everybody with respect. Too many people go for the "quiet luxury" look and act like they are better than others. Be humble, be nice to others, be empathetic. Most elegant ever
Everybody judges...human nature.Whatever
So true ❤
In real life, everyone is free to express their opinions, judgments, point of view, etc... it is each person's choice to accept it or simply stay away from it.
please make more grooming topic!!! 😭
I’m an artist. I find nails a great source of artistic expression and fun. I love all the cool designs and bright color palettes. They can bring a lot of joy, especially in this dark era of COVID. I say wear what you want. Elegance is in how you treat people, not necessarily what you wear. But, vanilla is a perfectly acceptable option. I sometimes enjoy just sporting a blank slate.
Right?! Plus nails and clothing combos can be elegant and classy. Her “rules” are very restrictive
I was thinking the same thing. I only wear deep blue red nails however I have seen some fun and well done artistic nails. I wish I had the guts and was also younger to do them.
@@_happyland_7195 it is mostly an European centric way of life. Some of the advice is common and people should know it.
@@cam129 i’m italian from milan, chic or wannabes (rich and snobbish people) don’t follow her rules, also travelled across spain and france. None of her rules are epitome of elegance everywhere, just in germanic countries (maybe). In my country she’d be considered not too sophisticated, a little naive.
No matter how old you are, find the designs you like most and do it! I see nails as jewels, one can dare once in a while
Life is too short to being forced to look muted, and what’s wrong with looking juvenile?
Me: *has inch long, multi colored nails covered is Swarovski crystals*
This is a video I should watch lololol
I’ve been guilty
Same I love looooong nails 😍 I always get criticized 🤷 oh well 😅
♥️
Currently purple nails with nail art. We still look fancy and interesting, certainly.
I .....love doing very colorful nail arts😅. ( I am required to have short , bare nails most of the time , so when I get freedom , I go all out😅)
I think it’s important the manicure looks clean and well maintained, it’s one of those details that no one pays attention when it looks good but it stands out a lot when it doesn’t - broken nails, different length nails, chipped or poorly applied polish... before my last job interview i was doing my nails and told my partner no I way am I going there shaking hands with the HR with unkept manicure or chipped polish. It’s a small thing but it helps being more confident in your overall presentation.
well said! so true
I work in HR and interviewed someone with a chipped manicure. Bugged me a lot
Agreed. And this is why I actually almost never paint my nails. I know that I'm not capable of keeping them maintianed properly, and things such as chipped polish just really look so bad.
Since I know I can't maintain them, I just hardly even do them. A bare nail is better than chipped polish.
What I do to keep them looking nice is simply to keep them cut fairly short, and filed neatly and nicely in shape. Then I just use a good hand cream, and sometimes some nail oil, so that they stay healthy looking, without any ragged cutitles, etc.
This is super-duper easy to maintain, and I think a bare nail looks pretty and elegant when it's properly taken care of.
well... i just painted each finger in a different pastel colour just a few hours ago... i love them
I love pastel nails. I keep mine bright and short because the rest of my winter look is pretty plain. It's about the overall vibe and your style.
That's great :D I love pastel as well.
True, its a matter of preference
When it comes to my nails, it's red till I'm dead. That being said, I do think that some of the non-elegant colours you described can be very elegant and classy, certain shades of deep orange, some corals and some purples, like mauves or pinky lavenders.
Absolutely agree, especially on darker skin.
And recently dark muted reddish brown trend in China looks stunningly classy!
The nail models looks absolutely amazing =O
@@ruthharris5110 yeeess
While neutral nails tend to be my
Go to, Bright/neon red is my favorite nail color. I got the most compliments on my nails when I’d wear dnd Ferrari red. I feel like it’s the perfect compromise of classic and fun.
My favorite color is Red and found it very elegant. Because I cook, do my hair and kids, and have young kid, I keep my nails short and classy.
😂😂😂😂
@@paoladipaola what is funny?
Same. I’m at a life stage with little kids where I can’t keep up with nail polish, so I just keep them nicely filed and clean. But I do love a good classic red polish 🙂
Budget tip: To prolong a gel manicure, get a French. When the nails begin to grow and the tips wear, cut them and file. They'll last another few days to a week.
Now that is why you use the comment section. Thank you my dear elegant lady for the useful tip and keep them coming if you have more words of wisdom.
Those are “old lady”/porn star nails nowadays. At least to younger people
@@mychannel-rt2gn I have to keep my nails very short so they're my own. I'm a massage therapist. But, I have to say that acrylics usually look trashy when they are past a certain length. Natural is always preferable.
@@Mmmmkaaay I get that. I was just saying that to most Gen Z people a French manicure specifically is seen as porn star/ trashy old lady nails at any length. It’s probably because they were so popular during the 90’s and 2000’s and that era doesn’t have the most classy reputation.
It’s fine if you want to wear them though, I don’t think that Anna’s advice is generally geared towards the teen/very young adult crowd anyway.
In America they are pornstar nails
I find that my wearing my nails short/medium is flattering and make my fingers look longer. when I wear a very long nails my fingers look short and stubby and nail polish chips very quickly.
This is really interesting because I weary nails on the longer side because it makes my fingers look longer! If my nails are short my hands look stubby.
(Picture of a tacky looking nail) and the guy screaming NOOOO lmao it crack me up
Saaaaame
I knew Anna would say this, buttt what can I do, I looove long almond nails and nail art (not crazy nail art, but I like ombre nails, things like that). I have natural long nails.
I have decided that in this topic I will use what I love, but of course, I think that the content is amazing for who just want to know what to use to look good and polished.
Anna also says a lot you can let your personality shine through those decisions. If you really love those long nails with subtle nail art while being classical elegant in many other ways, I don't think it would harm your appearance
Me too i love long nails, they make my hand appear thinner
I feel absolutely the same! I love my long nails! I just always try to find a good compromise. Though I think it is not too much of a break when your look is all over elegant and the nails add a little bit of spice :)
Remember that Anna teaches elegance, but elegance is not equal beautiful, something can not be elegant and be beautiful as well
I agree! I love a good medium/long acrylic baby boomer/French ombré nail! And I’ve gotten MANY compliments from high value men about it. French ombré looks extremely elegant to me 😃
I bet you all are a hoot at parties 😂🤣 how boring . I was just looking for accent nail ideas for my glitter nude French tip ombré nails and this came up 🤣😂🤣
you sounds like a fun person i like you
This is the funniest video and some of the funniest comments I’ve seen in a while
yes but also toxic af sadly
🤣🤣🤣 yep
I find "baby boomers" to be a nice alternative to the French manicure. They are similar to the French but it's more of an ombre instead of a line. In my opinion, it looks more natural and if you miss a nail appointment, it's okay because there is no obvious line of demarcation showing.
I agree it's so pretty! But are you able to do this at home at all? I'd love to but definitely won't consider going to a nail salon.
What are "baby boomers" I have not heard of this?🎋
@@lindaalger9720 Because it dates back to the 1940's.
@@PamelaHill Oh now I get it. Thank you. L.X🌹
I couldn't agree more. Baby boomer nails look sooo elegant and will suit all hands no matter your color or what you wear. They're so pretty.
I would also add that just a clear or translucent cream gloss over well-manicured nails looks nice and natural, and gives the effect of French manicure in a fraction of the time. if it chips a little, no one will notice, and it doesn't damage the nail bed like shellac or gel nails.
That’s what I stick with!
I have naturally long thick healthy nails so I just add a clear coat and shape them myself. I get tons of compliments and my co-workers asked who did them? All the women in my family have the same type of nails
Shellac or gel doesn’t damage nail beds if you know how to remove them probably. Don’t soak you nail in acetone. Lift up a corner and put a few drops of acetone in between nail and polish or soak a wooden cuticle stick scrap/peel of the polish. Fast, safe and easy. I use gel polish every week and my nails do not have stress mark. Some people even use floss instead of cuticle stick.
@@dvdgalutube you can't remove gel with acetone. It only works an acrylic.
True. Or you can just leave your nails bare, and take care of them. I keep them bare most of the time, like 99 percent of the time. I keep the nicely cut and filed into a neat, short oval. Then I just make sure to keep my hands well moisteriuzed, and somtimes also use a nail oil or cuticle oil, so my nails have that little bit of sheen, and so that I don't have ragged/peeling cuticles (which happens easily where I live, in winter, cause our long cold winters here on the Canadian prairies really dry out your hands/nails).
I mean, I do very much like a clear polish, like you mentioned. It's just that I often feel like a good nail/cuticle oil gives them that bit of shine, without me having to bother with any polish at all.
I do love things such as a classic red nail, it's just I know I don't have the time to keep them up, and a bare (but well-cared for) nail is better than chipped red polish.
Moisturizing your hands is as important
So true
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
This is VITAL!!
Always
Girls on a budget, try the Essie gel couture (not gel, it’s a regular nail polish). It lasts very well (use the gel couture nail polish color of choice AND absolutely use the gel couture top coat, don’t forget to seal the tip). I do my nails every 7-10 days, not because it chips but because you can see the nail plate that has grown (which does not look elegant). I use my nails a lot and it (almost) never chips. And it’s pretty affordable!
Interestingly, we men need to know a little more about this expertise that involves elegance and fine class. It helps to understand this lovely female being: the woman. Gratitude 💐
So lovely that you’re educating yourself and just enjoying and appreciating the art of femininity. It’s nice!
More for men please. LOVE your channel
Love that you’re enjoying these tips!!
I think men should know about what makes a woman good and elegant so they can get one
@@belenusiskeis6138 I totally agree with your wise and admirable words. Your thoughts are in accordance with prudence and wisdom.
theres definitely a time and place for certain nails, but I love long nails, i like all kinds of nails and nail art. I think ppl should do whatever makes them happy, even if it means tacky nails.😊 right now i have nude pink with Takashi Murakami flowers on them. Really cute to me. Are the elegant? Probably not, but i like em.
I think nail art is elegant and your nails do sound nice!
And that's all that matters. I hung around rich people for decades and one thing I learned is that most are very tormented by the monotony and repression but can't step out if it because it means they lose their positioning. I think that's why people flock to the likes of Cardi B; she annoys me personally but I can't deny that she is the same whether sitting with a high ranking politician or an up and coming rapper, and ppl appreciate her being rich and using that money to enjoy her life her own way
I've made maroon my staple color. It suits my brown skin. I naturally have long fingers and nails, so I just keep them short 🥰 I am getting mine done tomorrow 🥰
Short red (or maroon) nails always look elegant and chic. I’ve been wearing the same red on my toes for about 15 years. It’s my signature pedicure!
@@halcyondays8945 yassss 🥰
Which maroon do you use? I have been trying to get the right shade . I have found one which looks good on my feet but not my hands!!
i admire the aesthetic and minimalism of this
Hello beautiful ladies 🥰 who’s part of the notification squad to support Queen Anna 🙋🏽♀️
Yes. I used to work at a five diamond resort. Basically a hotel for the wealthy only. And Anna is right. Our nails had to be kept short, or just over the edge and manicured. Natural or nude colors. Same went for makeup. We could not be overdone. No crazy lashes. Hair color too, no purples, blues or fad haircuts. It basically stuck with me since!!! 😂
Another tip if you tend to be very busy and get chipped polish often is to restrain yourself to the more discrete colors during the work days - A chipped burgundy is seen across a room. I feel bolder colors like red or plum are good if you're going to a social event, because then you're going to be less busy and have more time to plan and ensure you have good-looking nails :)
Hmm I actually think that, when styled correctly, a deep green can look quite beautiful! Other than that, love these tips! ♥️
I agree with you!
Also a rouge noir type of well made mani. Oh, beautiful
I agree! It's a great fall/winter color!
I'm dark skin and olive green looks great on me. I won't do it again but it works
I use a soft creamy yellow or white sometimes in summer and it looks lovely on my skin. I keep almond nails that are just a tiny bit past my fingertip.
When I started watching your videos about year ago or little bit more that was first thing i changed on myself because i worn before tacky long nails, and it is just little thing but people really look at me differently with short polished nails, for some i always look put together because i take care of it and i am so grateful for you :)
I have risolved my nail issues with acrylic nails and never want to go back again. I finally found someone who really does a great job without ruining or damaging my nails. I go there every 4 weeks with red and every 5 weeks with a natural color. I can do anything - washing dishes, doing gardening, playing with animals, even moving- and my nails stay on without chipping maintaining their shiny color. It’s amazing.
It takes 2 hours but it’s much easier to find 2 hours of time every 5 weeks that to do them myself every 3 days at home.
I am SO happy that I don’t have to think about my nails anymore 😄
my mom told me the same things you did and now I'm feeling that I'm feeling so grateful toward that advice because i really hated that why she don't like me painting my nails in blue green colours . Thank you so much. You are really a great mentor.❤
My dermatologist thought me not to push the cuticles back. See it as the kit seal around your tub. It protects the nail from water. I also don't use polish anymore, only a good cream every night. And my nails are the most strong, healthy looking natural short to mid-length nails. Which I think is still the most elegant. They naturally look like a french manicure. I just cut them every 2 weeks or so. Also sunscreen every day, to protect your hands from aging.
Yes, I think the cuticle is there for a reason and not to mess with it. I have pushed mine back to far and regret it. Now I just leave them be.
Sunscreen on the hands?? I never thought of that!
you shouldn't remove them completly, but pushing them back is ok, even cutting of the excess, first of all it looks better, and second its healthier. not pushing it back at all is not good.
and sunscreen is dangerous, it causes cancer.
@@justme8841 This is absolutely not true and dangerous. Please do not spread this kind of disinformation.
I’ve never been this early. And thank you for posting this because I’m wanting to get my nails done in about a month from now.
Please, do this with everything ❤️
Yes and No: Hair.
Yes and no: Make Up

You know what the way sombody does her nails is a personal choice and a way to express yourself as an individual like hair is. I am not a lady if i paint my nails different colors that i like? And if i want to keep my nails a bit longer(lets not exagerate not long like a Wich in a movie) because with Short or medium nails my fingers looks like loogs of Woods i am not a lady? What is important is nails should be clean and well keept. By my nails i express who i am.And by the way about mens ,Yes they observ out nails and they like different colour and designs or paterns who are interesting not a simply boring colour.My colegues in University were obssesed about natural long nails with a nice design...
Just do your thing..i love all colours..
This was interesting, I’ve always thought long nails were tacky now in neon or bright colours that’s just a disaster
@saphire fire 21-22 is still young so experimenting makes sense. I'm in my early 20s and I wear holographic polishes. Being young is meant for experimenting so I don't think it's too old to wear fun colors. I respect Anna's advice but settling down with one color palette is for when I'm older right now if I don't want to stare at the color every day for the next 2 weeks I don't want it.
@saphire fire I didn’t know having fun with self expression and fashion had an age limit
@saphire fire it’s not. Why are you unhappy? Wanna talk?
@saphire fire you can’t handle people commenting on your comment? Lol chill lady
These is great advice for having classy nails. Much needed!
While I agree with what you said, I have pretty much exclusively worn blue nail polish for the last 3 years. My grandmother always hated it and would tell me to use the colours you mentioned 😂 but I just love blue nails on me. I feel like it’s the little bit of punk left over in me from when I was a teen
Thats hot !
Same. I always keep them neat and clean, but I love blues and purples.
Ahhh when blue nail polish was considered “taboo” 😂😂
As a nail technician, I FULLY AGREE! Nudes, classic French, reds and wine shades look the classiest. If you a little extra length without looking trashy, try an almond shape in a nude and your hands will look a lot more aesthetically pleasing because of the elongated effect.
Some people just have really tiny nail-beds while others have bigger ones and can get away with short, dark nails and look amazing. 🥰
Those nails are not the only nails that look classy. They look boring to me. I am a person that loves art. I see beauty classy and sexy nails with designs. I can not image how it would be if we were limited on the clothing, jewelry,shoes, and other accessories that we wear.
This conversation has been long overdue
Exactly why I love Anna. Even to the smallest details
Brava Anna! I have recently begun weekly short mail manicures with regular polish. The effect is miraculous! Self care rules💋

@@ShanerraBrooks the ring is very visible in this video! But i just thought she was engaged. So glad for her she deserves it
Wow congrats to her
We need a closet tour!!!
I Agree with the length of the nail, but crying in holographic nails
I always find French manicures (but with thin lines) and nudes to be the best because they go with any clothing color, but acrylic nails can be so damaging to your natural ones. I personally have always had short nails because I type on the computer too much. 😆
Acrylic itself is not what is damages the natural nail, it's the prep, filing, and most of the time...removal. They need to be soaked off in acetone.
@@Tata-iu3fy that's exactly what I mean. I've seen pictures of chipped and broken nails on women who've worn acrylic ones for weeks with a "break" in between.
I have been waiting on this video!! Also, I’ve been missing your Podcast Anna!
Personally, I don't think dark colours (like dark green, purple, or navy blue) look tacky and it's just overall most important to not keep your fingernails dirty or too long. What's also important to make your hands look good is to moisturize! Especially now in the winter!
That really depends on the skin color. I feel like darker skin and darker nail colors are an amazing elegant match. Maybe not so much when you're pale as it can only accentuate that contrast and sometimes it's just not good.
@@nowa1277 I see what you mean, but then plum, burgundy, and dark reds by that logic would not look good on light skin either when I think that they do. When choosing a non-traditional nail color, in my opinion, it's best to at least use a color that will match your clothing/style for the time you wear it.
I think the same, but then again, we don't have to take everything Anna says as the ULTIMATE TRUE. As the end of the video, she says "Personal opinion", about the nail's lenght. So it could be a personal opinion about the colour even is she doesn't make it clear. She guides us, and from that we choose. I desagree with her in that case, but agree in the lenght.
@@nowa1277 actually too light of a color can make pale skin look ghostly.
@@jetsetwm I'd agree with that. And I think it's the same for hair colour, too. I think Nicole Kidman is a good example. That pale blond she has her hair dyed really washers her out, her skin looks rather ghostly.
Please do more grooming videos. . . nails, hair, makeup trends, etc. Thank you!
Thanks for this video Anna! I do my nails myself, because it’s one of my hobbies and I use gelpolish. I always go for red colours, or nude. I have 40 colours, only nude or red/burgundy/plum and people call me crazy for wearing/buying “the same colours” all the time. I am glad that I have different hues in these colours after seeing this video
I have searched high and low for this topic. It's very hard to find so thank you! 🙌🏽
Idea: "Elegant lady reacts to TV/movie portrayals of elegant women"

@@aytcs haha now I wear nude nail polish, so funny this is a year later
Thank you for posting. As other people have already stated, I’d be really interested to see more videos about grooming and beauty treatments in general x
People this is her approach to this your best choice is go to a professional nail salon and see what they say not everyone has the same type of nail you have to do what's best your body type and your nail type as long as you're nails are clean and not too long it's fine
Agreed. I have long, slender fingers and long nail beds. Short nails aren't flattering for my hands, so I need a little length. I find it looks very feminine for my hands.
And you still have your own brain inside your head you're saying you can't make up your own opinion on things just because she has an opinion so does everyone else if you have to look anyone else for you to make an opinion on things there's something clearly wrong with you
@@rochellejohnson5534 i 100% agree. Ana is typically on point with many things but I'm not giving up on nail art. I can still be elegant and express myself through my nail art as long as my nails are clean and are of a functionally appropriate length. I feel like some of her tips don't offer room for individuality and creativity. I don't want to look like everyone else but elegance is something I wholeheartedly do believe in.
I used to like my nails long but then found an old picture of me with short nails and my hand looked younger so now I like them short
Well... if it was an old picture of you ...your hand was, in fact, younger 😜
whenever Anna postes a video, I click as fast as I can
loooove you 💖
I don’t paint my nails but make sure to keep them the same length and cut them whenever I see chipping or breaking. Even natural nails look sophisticated when well maintained
Does anyone else NEED to see Anna’s gorgeous handbag collection? 😍
Yes & I want to know where her shirt is from!
I'm so glad you posted this! I've always preferred natural looking nails but recently I was unsure if I was just being boring since all the girls at my work place are into nail art.
The same. But I look at their “art” and it looks so tacky and disgusting to me! Don’t bend to what people do around you. I love and use only what was said in this video and nobody can convince me that I’m boring! I am elegant!
@@tinalyle5086 i agree nail art isn’t classy. But “DISGUSTING”???? That’s a bit excessive don’t you think? Geez....
To the original commenter do what u want whether it’s boring or not it’s ur style. To the other two judgmental cows, I can only imagine what u look like daily 🤮 since were judging and all!!!
@@bloodymaria2949 I mean there is something called 'opinion'. I think they look disgusting as well lol
IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS!!!
Love this! I was just speaking with my mom about this topic and then here is a video all about it! Wonderful, thank you 💕
Yessss thank you! I always explain all these things to many friends of mine; hopefully now I can confirm my point with your video!
I take class very seriously: makeup, jewelry, hair, clothes etc but i love having over the top nails. I don't go so far into tacky town but i like a little bling on the hands
Same here! Everyday I try my best to dress elegant, clean and timeless but my nails are always long and maybe a little too much for some people;) I feel like that's my way of showing my personality ☆
Yes, don't worry about that. It's good to keep an area where you can show some surprise i think. After all it also depends on how you carry yourself and get dressed and talk.
@@dominikakras-tp8xv Exactly! Just a little sexy flair!
@@emmamusic4600 :))
@@shunai935 yeah! I keep it as my sexy little almost secret
I am going to do my nails in a few hours. I need this !!!! 💯
I need this video, thank you!
Also your filming game is getting better and better 😍
I personally love long nails and apply more nude colors or dark versions of the color I choose. I feel it’s okay to be confident in what you comfortable in. Remember it’s her opinion
That’s true! I personally think they look tacky but if you love it you do you✨
I love my long nails and I don't think it looks tacky :D
I have naturally long nails and I think they are the best part of my body so I keep them long and painted! Even people hit on me asking about my nails lol (:
Summer or winter. Red nails or french. I always have a manicure and pedicure. No matter what.
you're one of the VERY few influencers I actually trust - both your onlook on life and style
I've been waiting for this video for so long. Thank you!
I swear I have beeeen waiting for this exact video ❤Thank you!
I love the look of classy, elegant nails🌸
Ok buts that is why I stopped getting acrylics years ago, it looks kind of tacky.
Love this video! Also love that we get a sneak peek in the background of your closet shoes & bags! 😊💕
I really love this new video setup with a closet background! Super aesthetic and more interesting & unique to look at than a wall/chair setup
Beautiful ana pls make a video on how to have elegant hair and which hair styles are elegant on daily basis ❤️
Yess
I have burgundy nails right now. I feel proud of myself 😂😂❤🌹
Thanks for adding pictures of women of colour lt means a lot
Yes indeed! 👍🏽
I love how you greet us 'elegant ladies' it's very sweet. And I love the first picture joke and the noise that was made 🤣 haha!
I wish this was posted yesterday when I painted my nails for pictures 😂
I’m so happy that we are finally talking about this topic. Thank you so much Anna!
Loved this video, please post more short videos like these! I like how precise/straight to the point they are
I started watching your videos a few days ago and this question came into my mind and here is the answer! Thank you dear Anna! 😊
Unnatural colors can look sophisticated if they are in a deep shade (for example navy blue) and they match the outfit. The colors mentioned by Anna are the safe choices that go with pretty much any outfit.
Totally agree! You can work with blues and other unnatural colors if the colors are deep and subtle, probably on a shorter nail too. But for the most part I agree with Ana! I am trying out some nudes on my darker skin like darker browns and I wonder if a french manicure look on a darker nail canvas would give me a polished look.
I agree!
I remember my first nail appointment in my life - I chose French manicure and since then I honestly fell in love how pretty, fresh and clean it looks!🤍
Anna could you please tell which brand is your dress/blouse from? It’s absolutely beautiful and you look gorgeous in it🤍
I couldn’t stop looking at it all the video, how pretty the fabric and all the details look like 😍
Thank you so much Anna for this video!
It’s a dress from self-portrait 😘
Even I was about to ask .. The top is so beautiful ❤️❤️
@@AnnaBeyOfficial thank you so so much for the answer!🤍
OMG finally!! I've been waiting forever for a nail video by Anna!!❤️
Yess. I have been waiting for this ✨🙌🏻💅🏻
